    Barrel life on a .284 Win

    Re: Barrel life on a .284 Win I know some guys have said they were running .30-06 out of AI mags, and CDI does bottom metal for the long action M70. That might be a good combo, with performance (especially from a long barrel) that is significantly better than a 6.5 cartridge without the...

    Gunsmithing FN SPR mods for AI mags-some ??? on variables

    I have a few FN SPR actions that I bought off CDNN. I know it will require some machining to allow them to take AI mags, but I have a few questions on the impact of these mods. First, will opening up the bottom of the action have any negative effect if I decide to stay with the factory DBM...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 1.1-8x24 Mark 8 CQBSS

    Re: Leupold 1.1-8x24 Mark 8 CQBSS Being regular Army, I don't see where their market is. I know the GWOT (or whatever it is now) opened up the coffers a bit, but this is the same Army that insisted on a fixed-power 10x, non-illuminated optic for our SNIPERS until relatively recently. At...

    XLR Chassis Stock

    Re: XLR Chassis Stock http://www.ignatius-piazza-front-sight.c...-at-1000-yards/ WWII sniper uses what lookd to be an XLR-chassis rifle to score a 5" group at 1000 yards. Pretty impressive all around.

    Barrel life on a .284 Win

    Re: Barrel life on a .284 Win I was hoping to be able to run it off a short action with the Alpha Type 2 or Type 3 magazines, allowing OAL of 2.985.

    Let's solve this savage dbm problem

    Re: Let's solve this savage dbm problem Deadeye, I don't know what the market will bear, but if you can make something similar for the FN SPR I think you would sell a lot of those, too.

    Barrel life on a .284 Win

    I recently read a write-up at 6mmBR.com (that the author reposted here) about a .284 F Class/hunting rifle. I then read about the cartridge itself, and the author there said the .284 would give barrel life of about 3000 rounds and that with RL17, it was producing velocities in line with 7SAUM...

    Let's solve this savage dbm problem

    Re: Let's solve this savage dbm problem Hmmm... This looks excellent. I wonder if a similar mod can be done with FN SPR mags? If so, I think it could be a winner.

    Rifle Scopes USO ST-10 "Proof of Concept" versus SS HD 10x

    Re: USO ST-10 "Proof of Concept" versus SS HD 10x Thanks for the feedback, guys. I will be setting aside some deployment pay for an ST-10 and keeping my eyes peeled for deals around here.

    Rifle Scopes EREK turret--any point on a fixed 10x scope?

    I wanted to create a separate thread to ask this question, because I see it as distinct, but here is the background. I am planning to purchase several high-end scopes, most likely USOs, and want to buy a less expensive USO to test the features (I think) I would like. This includes the EREK...

    Rifle Scopes USO ST-10 "Proof of Concept" versus SS HD 10x

    Re: USO ST-10 "Proof of Concept" versus SS HD 10x I am aware that the ST-10, as configured, would cost significantly more than the SS. The only difference between it and the USOs I think I want is variable power and objective size, which is enough to make it far cheaper than the 3.2-17 or...

    Rifle Scopes USO ST-10 "Proof of Concept" versus SS HD 10x

    Here's the situation: I have decided to make a couple of investments in serious optics over the next couple years. I am buying a .50 and building a .260 and would like scopes that will hold up to hard use and be useful at the outside edge of each rifle's effective ranges. Right now, the only...

    gun shop ? for the Indiana guys.

    Re: gun shop ? for the Indiana guys. Not sure about tactical/precision stuff, but if you like shotguns at all check out the Indiana Gun Club on the north side of Indy. Also, if you are looking for a place to shoot, the Sycamore Valley Gun Club's Freedom Range (in Freedom) is excellent, but...

    NEW stock option for XLR Industries Evolution

    Re: New stock option for XLR Industries Evolution Well, I guess I know what I will be doing with the Savage I just bought. That thing is amazing.

    NXS 8-32x56 or rebarrel

    Re: NXS 8-32x56 or rebarrel I would go for the scope if the current barrel shoots well. By the time you shoot it out, you will be able to save enough for a rebarrel, and you will have plenty of range time with the gun and your new optic.

    Lapua 260 Brass

    Re: Lapua 260 Brass Awesome. I was really not looking forward to reforming necks by the hundreds. Apparently, they either don't see this as competing with their of 6.5 or they are simply hedging their bets.

    Rifle Scopes Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile?

    Re: Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile? I think a valid question to ask would be "how low do you need it to go?" Yes, 20-25x is not necessary for most field shooting, but if you are going to buy a high-dollar scope, why not get one that is capable of going that high, so long as the...

    What would you do with an FN SPR action?

    Re: What would you do with an FN SPR action? I thought of a 7-08 but it won't do anything a 6.5 won't do. If/when I go up to a 7mm, it will be a magnum. I have thought about a .338 Federal, too, but I would want to be able to shoot the 300 grain Sierras and I think OAL and case capacity...
