    SOLD Athlon Helos BTR 2-12 W/mount MIL

    This sat on an AR of mine in the safe for 99% of its life. Nice little scope, my eyes just suck anymore and I can’t see a damn thing with a 12x scope at the ranges I like to shoot at so I put a 3-18 on it. One small mark on the bottom of the objective. Otherwise I can’t find any flaws. Come...

    Hows does LaRue Stealth barrels rank?

    Larue is a pantload on his best day. The hero worship from the sperm burping tuna queens at arfcom went to his head. If there was a choice between his barrels and ballistic advantage, I’d shoot ballistic advantage. Even if they were half as good as he thought they were, there are still 20...

    Binos usable for spotting?

    I bought a spotting scope, after 2 times and looking through other guys Bono’s, I honestly don’t know where the spotting scope is. I’m hoping in my camper because I’d like to sell it 🤣🤣, but quality binos are where it’s at.

    Different Brass (Accuracy Effect)

    I won’t mix headstamps just because of pressure, especially with a smaller cartridge. 24gr under a 73eldm is perfect in a 16 lake city and puncturing a primer in starfire or IMI or insert whatever here. Just my .02, the total capacity varies a decent amount brand to brand and it’s much more...

    Official MDT 6BR Magazine Thread

    I read most of the thread but didn’t see if this one was listed. The MDT mag functions flawlessly out of the box with the 3 lug aero action. I just put one together with a proof bbl in an MDT ACC premier in 6 Dasher. Never even touched a feed lip and it went all the way through load...

    "The Creed" powder by shooters world

    I haven’t had time to load it yet. I will probably do it soon on 6mm creedmoor. My rl16 is almost gone so I need a new load. My dasher shoots too well with varget for me to waste barrel life doing a work up on something that I can’t imagine shooting better than the varget.

    6mm Dasher

    Jesus this thing is easy to load for. Norma brass, cci SRP, Berger 105’s, 1.762 BTO (.040 jump), and proof 26” barrel. Loaded 7 different loads in .2 increments from 31.0 to 32.2. Every group was very sub MOA, had 1 SD in the double digits, everything else was 5-8 SD’s. This was 32.2gr but...

    Longer range ar15 sight in distance

    Zero at 100 and dial, same as all of them except my 22’s which get a 50 yard zero.

    Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

    You’ll never know what the rifle will do or you will do with bulk ammo. My “precision” ar will shoot frontier 77gr match sub moa the majority of the time and my 73gr hand loads very well. It groups in inches with any bulk ammo. Cheap ammo is for 2-3 MOA steel fun and that’s still somewhat...

    what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

    WOA is not a whole lot more in price and they are pretty much a sure thing. I’m sure there are a few duds out there, but every WOA barrel I’ve used for the past 10 years, through old owner and new, has been a sub MOA barrel.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I’ve got one action with a proof 6CM and another action with a proof 6 dasher. Good actions for me, nothing a single issue with them at all.

    NICS delay

    I’m a delay, always have been. Typically the full 5 days and then I just pick it up. I got a CCL for probably 14 years, let it lapse because it doesn’t really matter anymore. Now I’m back to the constant 5 day delay. I also have suppressors etc with no issues from ATF, it’s just NICS. I quit...

    Recommend me a muzzle device

    I run a PVA jet blast on my 20” that I use for longer range steel. I have zero complaints with it but I’m not concussion sensitive like some people are I guess. I run hellfires or APA’s on all my bolt guns from 6 dasher to 6.5 prc and I don’t notice any concussion from them.

    Poll: Single-Stage or Two-Stage Trigger for NRL/PRS Rimfire?

    Personal preference, I’ve never had a 2 stage that I liked. The only one I have left is a TT diamond in a 20” AR. All my others use TT diamond single stages. I like the feel better for me personally. Use whatever works better for you.

    "The Creed" powder by shooters world

    I’m almost out of my stash of rl16 I built up in 2019. Grafs has no hazmat no shipping right now so I grabbed 8lbs. We shall see how it does.

    Which 18” 5.56 Barrel

    Out of that list I’ve had 3 WOA’s, all have been sub MOA and solid barrels. I have had 1 since the change in ownership and it was that same, shot great right out of the box.

    Seeing a 22lr in flight

    I’m in east Texas, most of my shooting is in that general area with some matches further west now and then. We have a ton of humidity, seeing a 22 in flight is pretty much every shot at 100 yards and further and honestly you can see them at 50 if the sun is right and the background is white.

    Burris XRT III pricing

    Same, I’d pick a Cronus over scopes a lot more expensive until you get to S3/G3’s and even a couple in that price range. It’s hard to beat. I’ve got MK5HD’s I’m disappointed I bought because the one Cronus I have is really just better in every way except slightly more CA and a slightly duller...
