    Lapua vs Win brass for 308

    If you're doing F-class then you might want to stick w/ Lapua. For tactical 1/2 MOA accuracy, Win brass should suit your needs just fine.

    My G41. That was the best $550 I ever spent.

    Best quality AR 15 LPK

    I'm going to get mine from Red Barn Armory. You can choose specific aftermarket parts in the LPK (e.g., hipertouch trigger, ergo g2 grip, Bad-ASS selector, etc.) so that you don't have junk or set aside half of the components.

    Suppressors Factory sbr and multiple uppers

    You register the lower not the upper and once it's an SBR it's always an SBR unless you tell the ATF to strike it from the registry. If you rid yourself the original SBR upper for a new one, the ATF asks that you contact them to update the registry. The ATF's website cites a specific example...

    Rifle Scopes NF Beast vs, S&B PMII 3-20 vs. Vortex Raz.HD Gen II 4.5-27

    If you can afford all three then put names in a hat and draw at random. They are all good. Some have better brand recognition and reputation than others, but they are all solid.

    PTG Drop In My ASS!!!!

    Send the rifle and DBM to Mark Gordon at SAC and you will get it made right. Have him notch the feed ramp while he's at it. You tried doing it yourself, but was a bit more than you bargained for. No big deal at all and after it's all said and done your rifle will have a nice upgrade to it.

    My First Rifle... Savage, Remington or Ruger?

    None of the above. Get a Tikka and be done with it. If you want to get fancy, then drop it in a XLR or KRG chassis. People new to this tend to lowball what they need to spend on optics. This is a bad decision because you cannot hit what you cannot see. The question is what is the best value...

    PTG Drop In My ASS!!!!

    Many people take a dremel (or use a mill if they have one) to remove that exposed section of the feed ramp scallop or put a notch in it. It's not needed for a DBM assembly.

    Gunsmithing Want to build an AR10 and need help and lots of advice

    I looked into build vs buy and realized that unless I was willing to build multiple 308 style ARs, it wasn't cost effective to buy the parts and assemble everything myself. Nearly all the parts, especially premium parts that you would want to use in a custom build, are right at MSRP. IMO, a...

    Send TBAC an email. They usually respond within an hour.

    Trying to get a build underway!

    Good choice. If you get a heavy contour barrel you might not even need a muzzle brake, but perhaps you may want to thread and cap for a suppressor or APA Gen II bastard brake later on. Then go with this. Going with a custom action makes better sense if you don't already have a doner action...

    A different sort of query for you guys....

    You need to think in terms of what offers you the best chance of providing meaningful income without getting saddled in debt. 30 is late to be starting from scratch; realize that people filling entry level positions would be 10-12 years younger than you. I went to grad school in my early 30s...

    DBM's

    I don't know what's not to like about the mini-chassis if you like a more traditional type of stock. Those that aren't fully committed to the mini-chassis tend to want something like a CADEX, JAE or KRG W3. I have shot my surgeon barreled action in the pillar bedded MCM A5 it came with as well...

    Why buy a Remington 700P?

    Unless you want to just tap your toe in the water, don't go the 700P route. Also, I think that buying a wally world donor action doesn't really save much money in the long run, and scrounging for all the parts is a real PITA unless you're in absolutely no hurry. Pick a gently or barely used...
