    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 Gen2 6-24x50 VPR MIL

    ...on my last range visit had a chance to look thru a new EP5 a gent had on his Tika 22LR, it was nice, very nice....but to my eyes, I didn't discern a whole lot of difference from my SH4 Gen2 4x16. My "expectations", especially in regards to the higher magnification past 16X, may not have been...

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 Gen2 6-24x50 VPR MIL

    ...bro, just add the scope & mount to your cart and then apply the SAVE30% code, it still only comes out to $370.99 total, one helluva bargain! I hate to admit it, but that's even lower than what I paid for mine WITH the "SAVE$170" code....arrrgghhh!

    Question about temp sensitive powders -- CFE 223 & Leverevolution

    ...for those responding to my inquiry on using Lever w/556, my thanks. I was pointed to the Johnny's Reloading Bench vids on his MK262 cloning attempt, Lever was one of the powders he tested (vid #8 & vid #11). It was quite informative IMHO.

    AR10 questions

    ...I would suggest an Aero M5. If you can't find a complete rifle, there are many complete lowers and complete uppers offered so it's just a matter of slapping the upper and lower together and pushing the pins thru. In my experience, Aero M5's compatibility with "DPMS" parts & accessories has...

    Question about temp sensitive powders -- CFE 223 & Leverevolution

    ....that's another reference to the use of Lever in 5.56, which has piqued my interest. I can't find any manufacturers published data for it, but I would imagine it closely matches CFE 223, which does have factory data published. I imagine it might boost the 75 BTHP & 77 SMK velocity up in a...

    Quietest (least loud) 100-115 yard gun/ammo that isn't suppressed? Shotgun and AR15 are too loud for my yard (7 acres, neighbors aren't that close).

    ....that being the case, a "firearm" won't be your tool of choice..... bow, airgun, traps are the most "logical" options.

    Has Leupold upped their game, or sponsored more shooters?

    ....IMHO, the scopes in use only contribute to the win...or loss. The winners of the day have done so because their "system" and their "management & utilization" of said system was finely tuned or balanced that day. System isn't just the hard equipment, but also shooters attitude, skill and...

    AR15 Cycling Issues

    ....well, that is an unfortunate situation, but I daresay that it does reveal that the issue wasn't the BA barrel as OP originally imagined. Just switching the brand of barrel is not a guarantee the actual issue will be resolved. Good luck.

    Knight SR-15 LPR Mod 2 accuracy expectations

    ....per their website, the Sheridan's are cut with SAAMI spec reamers. IF your brass or loaded ammo fit in the Sheridan gauge, it will fit in a compliant SAAMI spec chamber. The utility of the gauge is it ALLOWS one to see if the shoulder bump, trim length or web sizing is the culprit in a...
