    Savage 10FPSR + Shilen 6.5CM bbl + AICS = nice!

    We finally got a break in the weather up here in WI so I decided to sneak out and zero my new rifle. I started with a stock Savage 10FP-SR. To this, I added a Shilen 24" 1:8 twist stainless 6.5 Creedmoor barrel from Jim at NSS. I had the barrel Gunkoted flat black. Then I dropped the barreled...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Height for AICS. HELP!!!!

    Re: Scope Ring Height for AICS. HELP!!!! I've played around with ring height on three AICS-equipped rifles and have settled on 1.225" as being perfect for my face. This is for a 30mm scope body. Generally, something in the 1.05 - 1.25" seems to work well on the AICS depending on how you face...

    Recent experience with alpha mags

    Re: Recent experience with alpha mags I had to modify my two SA Alpha Type I mags with a hammer to function correctly in my AICS AX: the metal at the front of the mag sticks up too high for the mag to lock in correctly, so these little tabs must be flattened. However, post-hammer-therapy the...

    New 6.8 SPC II SBR's

    Re: New 6.8 SPC II SBR's You really only need 2.30 COAL on a PD gun if you're thinking of shooting the SSA 140gr Berger loads. These are probably not the best fit in these SBRs because your initial MV will be so low. The vast majority of factory loads (including the new 90gr Federal stuff -...

    New 6.8 SPC II SBR's

    Re: New 6.8 SPC II SBR's For those super shorty SBRs you can't beat the Barnes 85gr TSX loads. I had an 8" LWRCI PSD in 6.8 and it loved the stuff. Plus, it's relatively barrier blind and has very good terminal ballistics characteristics.

    Review: Gunsport PRO GSP•15 Electronic Earplugs

    Re: Review: Gunsport PRO GSP•15 Electronic Earplugs I also picked up a pair of GSP15s. In a single shooting session so far - outdoors, covered firing point, shooting a 16" AR10 - the GSP15s seemed to let through a sharper "crack" on trigger pull than my Peltor SportTacs doubled up with a...
