    BCA Side Charging Upper

    I run one... I shoot left handed anyways and wanted something that didn't leak gas in the rear. I'm using just the upper and BC. Cam was extremely gritty/sticky and was replaced with a POF roller cam. Barrel fit was decent but I still use bearing retention compound. Overall I wouldn't...

    Arken Black Friday

    Tempting, but I'm still waiting on EPL4 reviews(also don't know how the 4-16 compares to the 6-24). Currently own an EP5 and I'm happy with it.

    Hellfire to Xeno adapter?

    Does anyone make a Hellfire(Maverick) to Xeno adapter? Or is there any good solutions to being able to use both a Nomad and Maverick suppressor?

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    I have a 4-16 GLX and the new PLxC. The PLxC simply blows the GLX out of the water. I was impressed with the Arken EP5 so plan on replacing the GLX 4-16x with the upcoming Arken EPL4s. The eye relief simply does not work for me(flipping between 4-16x requires stock adjustment) and not a big...

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms Slx 4-16

    I have the 4-16 GLX with Athena Mil. Looking to replace it with the new Arken, pending reviews of course. On my CZ 457 I use an Athlon Midas TAC 5-25 w/ APRS6 reticle and am EXTREMELY happy with it! Subtensions start at .2mil. I really like the Athena MIL reticle but the scope itself is...

    Tikka XM bottom metal

    MDT had advertised it so the idea has definitely been brought up. When I asked a couple of mfgs if there was any plans, the answer was "no". It's a shame since many mainstream SA's can feed/eject cartridges longer than what the magazine is capable of. I think XLR makes chassis that use XM...

    Rifle Scopes Arken Light Weight Hunting version

    I think this is why I mentioned poor QC...my EP5 looked pretty good but the fringing you describe is what I saw on the SH4. If there was someone local and willing, I wouldn't mind sending it to them to compare different batches of EP5s

    Rifle Scopes Arken Light Weight Hunting version

    I pulled the trigger on the EP5 when I got a coupon that brought it down to just over $400. I'm extremely satisfied with it; my buddy has the SH4 Gen 2(4-16 IIRC) and it blows that out of the water. If I had to guess, I think they're sacrificing QC. I've read lots of reviews where people had...

    Rifle Scopes Arken Light Weight Hunting version

    Looking forward to reviews. I want to replace the Primary Arms GLX 4-16 on my M&P 10, initially thinking Vortex LHT but that's overkill for what I use it for.

    6.5 Grendel

    300yd at most for hogs. Realistically, I probably won't actually shoot at anything past 200yds.

    6.5 Grendel

    I started my build already, though might be a while before I get the suppressor(DA Nomad still in jail). I wanted it short just so it packs easily.

    300WSM short barrel/twist with factory ammo

    I actually thought a lot about the 7wsm but ended up going with a Tikka in 300wsm. I bought a spare factory 6.5PRC barrel for it though, and the rifle originally came with a 7rm barrel that I still have. It's currently just set up range shooting but the other barrels lighten it up a bit.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I use Area 419 and the Browning Recoil Hawg...but the Ultradyne brakes can easily be timed too.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Don't forget bags! I have a buddy that got rid of his bipods and just uses front-bag/backpack and a rear bag.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Same. I was actually looking into the TRG trigger but didn't see any for sale or know how much they cost. Being a lefty I'm also kind of wary of modifying the KRG Midas trigger.

    Versatile setup (300wsm); shooting in CO and NC.

    Suggestions on where? I normally shoot at Frontline in Warrenton, I haven't found any ranges longer than that unless I go shooting in the mountains on someone's property. I'm running a 20" to keep the rifle compact(I no longer have a truck/van, and I also have a suppressor that's currently in...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    On Reddit the discussions regarding Arken scopes are screened (I think in the longrange subreddit); but one of the reasonings was the experience people had(quality and CS) was all over the place; some of the people (assuming shills) basically dismissed all those claims and it got messy. I paid...

    Versatile setup (300wsm); shooting in CO and NC.

    Rifle is Tikka T3x with 20" 1/10tw barrel. I live in NC(<1000yds and 200-400ft elevation) and work in CO, but want to start taking mile shots with my rifle. I currently just shoot 180gr-200gr factory ammo but would like to start reloading with heavier ammo(looking at 208gr and/or 225gr ELD...
