    Opinion on Bear Creek Arsenal?

    I bought one of their bolt action uppers with a 16" CHF 556 1:7 barrel on it. I have shot a bunch of 3/4" 5 shot groups with it with 52gr handloads, it generally has done 1" or less. We mostly use it for shooting pdogs from the truck. It's also pretty fun to shoot and my son really likes it...

    Need some advice on 6.8/Grendel SBR barrel length

    I have an 11.3" 6.8 that kills mule deer really well. 90gr gold dot at 2750fps (I think I can't honestly remember). I haven't played with the 6.5 Grendel. I'd like to I just haven't because I have 6.8s, 300blks, and 224 Valkyrie (in the works). Grendel ammo seems to be more available and...

    6 ARC Upper Build: 18” PVA Osprey (Rifle +2”) + San Tan Tactical Billet Upper + SOLGW M89 Rail

    Maybe I missed it but are you certain your gas block and the gas port are lined up properly? The JP on my barrel is slightly off the barrel shoulder to get it lined up.

    6 ARC Upper Build: 18” PVA Osprey (Rifle +2”) + San Tan Tactical Billet Upper + SOLGW M89 Rail

    I shot/tested 85gr TSX with 2230 powder. It did decently but I don't recall the velocity off the top of my head. The 90gr CX was unimpressive with the little bit tested I did. 90gr Game changers shot really well with cfe223 at 2775-2800. Dont overlook the 87gr Berger.

    6 ARC Upper Build: 18” PVA Osprey (Rifle +2”) + San Tan Tactical Billet Upper + SOLGW M89 Rail

    Lever evolution with 87gr Bergers at 2950fps for my hunting load this year. My steel load currently is with n150 and 100gr Sierra tipped game kings for 2520fps. Raven Rock had this bullet on sale for like 25 cents a piece so I bought 1000. When I'm through with them hopefully the 95gr...

    6 ARC Upper Build: 18” PVA Osprey (Rifle +2”) + San Tan Tactical Billet Upper + SOLGW M89 Rail

    I have a JP adjustable clamp on gas block on my 18" PVA 6arc. Runs great with everything I have tested in it, factory and handloads 87gr-105gr. Mostly suppressed but I have tested it without the can without issue. I'm not a big gas gun guy but I live at 6200' asl not sure if that matters on...

    Solus or Origin for first custom build?

    Ok. I haven't had an issue with a trigger that could be tied to a hanger. But only have a couple actions with them. So I guess I don't have enough experience to have an opinion on weather they are preferred (which I didn't actually say) I put a Bix n Andy in my Solus when I first got it, and...

    Solus or Origin for first custom build?

    I have a couple Origins and a Solus. The Origin overall is a better action but the Solus isnt far behind in my opinion. The Solus has some really nice features that are hard to not like....trigger hanger, integral rail, dual ejectors, 60° bolt. Savage/origin barrels. Buy both.

    Suppressors 338 Lapua capable can

    Obviously the TBAC 338 ultra is this choice, honestly my 338 isn't good enough for a TBAC can, just a Rem 700 police. I genuinely am interested in the 3d printed suppressors but it doesn't seem like anyone has used one yet?

    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    I have a handful of PVA Osprey barrels, a couple of other brand barrels cut by PVA, and a Bartlein 6.5 SAUM built by LRI. I am not a competition shooter I just like nice rifles, having a very capable rifle for hunting and I like to tinker. There's almost no wrong answer .... well one that...

    Suppressors 338 Lapua capable can

    I'm in the market for a 338 Lapua rated suppressor. It will honestly see more 300BLK, 308, possibly a 338 federal than 338 Lapua but I have one in the safe that doesn't get much use because it's loud. Considering the YHM Bad Larry and the B&T vers36Ti. The B&T is really interesting and is...

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    18" 6 creed shooting 58gr Vmax at a touch over 3800fps. It's one of the most destructive pdog rifle/load combo I have currently. I shot one yesterday at a bit over 200 yards and honestly there were parts and pieces everywhere in a 25' radius around it.

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    Depending on the area. These guys would be very surprised to find out that trees exist. I'm still in the bigger is better, especially for people that are going to hunt elk once maybe twice in their lifetime. I get to hunt them every year and usually have two tags so I'm fine using smaller...

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    Jackrabbit with a 300blk Her first confirmed gopher kill. She has caught several but usually make it back down the hole dragging their back end. She gave this one an impressive head shake and chomped down on its head..... So proud of herself

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    I have used a lot of different calibers and cartridges to kill elk 6.8spc (close range) and 260 rem being the smallest 338 Lapua and 45 caliber smokeless muzzleloader being the largest. Several with my 6.5SS in the 350-550 yard range. 300wsm with 208 Amax and 338 Lapua with 230 eldx would be...

    Did the long action ever hit the market?

    Slow 308

    I really like bullets in 125-130gr range in 308 for killing things at closer range. I shooting 125gr Sierra Game Changers in one of my 20" 308s. I'll have my kids out this summer with it shooting pdogs.
