    My mistake. Should have seen the "lpk" part of that line. That's what I get for reading too fast :)

    Getting Started Out

    For the price of the rra 2 stage trigger, I would consider a Giselle SSA or SSA/E. the ssa/e is the nicest trigger ice pulled in a long time

    Getting Started Out

    If you compare 30-06 to 308 with the same bullets, it will shoot flatter as it will gain a couple hundred fps maybe. But you can also step up to heavier bullets like the 208 amax as well. I personally haven't shot anything like this in '06 yet so this is just my limited research. I have found...

    Getting Started Out

    I would build a spr type ar15, something that you're already familiar with, and scope it with a 2.5-10x vortex viper pst series scope while I waited on a GAP build with the budget it sounds like you're working with. That said, you might also consider a 30-06 build as it covers the gap between...

    Rifle Scopes Scoping On The Cheap

    I had a millett trs-1 on a 308 r700 and it held up ok. I had a millett dms-1 on an ar15 in .223 and the reticle came loose after a few hundred rounds. Maybe there is more to multi-directional forces of semi auto rifles? Anyway, I'm back to a super sniper 10x mil/mil with the side focus and this...

    Re: $200.00 Do I start reloading or buy more bullets? i use a lee single stage press and dies with a rcbs digital scale. i splurged a bit on the scale but imo, its worth it as i couldnt make sense of the lee scale and i just didnt trust my adjusting it. digital is much faster. of the lee...

    Torn between 2 guns

    Re: Torn between 2 guns i didnt realise the 243 was 308 based. a simple barrel swap would be half the cost or less of a new rifle and you would get a much better barrel. i was looking at the lothar walther barrels linked above when i was planning a savage build.

    Torn between 2 guns

    Re: Torn between 2 guns why not just rebarrel the savage and get a new bolt head for it. should be able to swap it out at home in a few minutes with a barrel nut wrench. thats a good side to having a savage.

    178gr A-Max vs 175gr SMK with RL-15?

    is there a difference between the 175gr SMK and the 178gr A-max as far as reloading and pressure issues? i have a R700 5R Mil-Spec and am wanting to load the 178gr a-max. i am hoping to get similar accuracy as the m118lr. anyone else use these bullets? with reloader 15?
