    I need some advice...

    Is there any reason you need those two rifles? You can sell one and put some money into the other, or sell both and pick something used up in the classifieds that's in a 6.5 flavor. Or just run your 300 WM. You can be competitive with it shooting Black Hills 190 factory ammo. Go to a few...

    Accuracy International AXMC Replacement Barrels

    ^ correct on the large tennon. The flats aren't necessary, but some find them helpful to get the barrels a little more snug then hand tight. Euro Optic and Mile High are good about keeping the AXMC barrels in stock. Give either of them a call when you're ready. They'll usually give a discount...

    Texas will be the richest state in the Union....

    I didn't realize Texas did not have state income tax, that takes the sting out some. Add to that a lower sales tax and it helps a lot. I think Commiefornia is around 8.25% sales tax.

    Texas will be the richest state in the Union....

    Jeebus, Jerry. That's some unreal property tax. I thought we got raped in California at 1.5% property tax.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Where to send 1911 for upgrades???

    I know some folks who have sent their factory 1911s to Nighthawk. The turn around has been quick and you get a semi-custom for one-third of the price. Let them tighten the fit up a bit and recoat it. You'll be happy you did. I also second the recommendations to visit 1911forum and 1911addicts...

    Masterpiece Arms Barricade System?

    I recently had the opportunity of using one an instructor had at a class. It was on an MPA chassis. It's very slick. It's an excellent design. If you can get one on a Manners, I say go for it.

    AI barrel swap POI repeatability.

    I've seen a .1-.2 mil difference in switching on my AXMC. I think confirming your zero is a good idea, especially if shooting those little bastards at range. All my POI shifts have been vertical, no horizontal movement.

    Rifle Scopes Help Me Choose a Magnified 1-4ish Optic

    If you have all of them in front of you... usually the question is what to buy. Yours seems to be what to sell. Mount them, shoot them and see what you like the best

    Toyota Gas pedal recall and Crash that sparked it.

    Thought I'd add to this, as I knew Mark (the driver of the Prius). I worked with him in my last career. He wasn't a friend, I can't say I cared for him as a person but at work, he knew his stuff. He supervised the civilian technicians that CHP employeed to inspect buses, tow trucks, semi-trucks...

    VECTRONIX IS BACK in the US!

    I know his backstory. It's a joke, albeit significantly less humorous now.

    I'm just proud NoLegs learned math.

    AI or Custom? **Delivered. Update in OP**

    I love my AXMC, and I loved my AWs. I say look into a used AW or AE, and invest the rest of the money into barrels, ammo, scope/mount and training. With an AW, barrel changes still only take 5-10 minutes and you can really stretch your dollar.

    My aiat in an mpa teaser pics

    I think it looks it great. It may be the most expensive barreled action ever, but you have some pretty big balls to do that to your AT. I think you'll love it. I can't wait to see the completed pics and hear how you like it.

    Sell everything for AIAX MC?

    My AXMC is usually off by 0.1 mills when I go from a magnum bolt to a short action bolt. Two rounds and I have my zero back.

    6mm bullet

    I was going to ask the same thing as the OP, so I'll just piggyback on his question. What about bullets in the 105 class? Will a 105 Berger hybrid do the trick?

    knight's armament firearm???

    In his profile, the OP lists his occupation as "retarted", so maybe there's something else at play. I wish I could help (in both regards).

    Ordering a GAP-10?

    You pay a deposit. There's a thread in the semi auto forum about wait times and such. Caliber, it's up to you and what you want. There's a 308 in the classifieds right now, and a 260. Both seem to be good deals with NO wait time.

    34mm ring question

    Depends on the rifle, but a 50mm objective with covers should be fine in those high rings. You should be more concerned if they will give you a proper cheek weld.
