    Do we care more about, SD or ES?

    Both tell you something about the ammo, and can help you decide on a lot number. Both are really helpful in understanding why cheap ammo is cheap...

    Vudoo 360 w/ Bartlein 1.20" Barrel for PRS Rimfire - Tuner or No?

    If you thread it you can add a tuner/can afterwards. I wouldn't put anything on the muzzle until I saw how it show with the ammo of my choice.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    It really says something about the quality of a rifle that people are happier posting pictures of groups than the guns themselves. Not a lot of rifles are accurate enough to generate that kind of attention.

    Bubble Level Alignment Accuracy Expectations?

    Ok, this has to be my favorite response of all time for a "my product is broke" post.

    Worst Value Optic?

    Am I too late to mention the "super ninja extreme" or whatever the POS was that was in every gun magazine 10 or 15 years ago. Crazy price, no features. For me, S&B at the top end, but also Swarovski when you consider what they want to charge for a duplex reticle. It would take them VERY little...

    He’s just a little Guy! Let’s see the little 223 trainers!

    I have an ARC Nucleus with a PVA 20" barrel in an HS stock. Shoots like a laser. Best part of .223 is shooting bulk 55 grain Fed or Win I bought on a shelf for $.30 a round out to 400 yards on steel. It feels like the last reasonably priced ammo on the shelf. Locally they want $100/20 for 6.5...

    Blaser R93 HHS (375 H&H and 308 Winchester) specialty pistol

    I want that in .223. .375, not so much.

    Whats a "good" 100 yard group size?

    Rule #1 of surviving on Sniper's Hide is to NEVER directly engage with 308Pirate. He will drag you down to his level of ineptitude and beat you with experience every time. You have to fight him at an oblique angle, sort of like you have enraged midgets attacking you on each flank, and you have...

    77, 75, 69 vs 62 gr 5.56 choices?

    62 or 64 grain bonded, ESPECIALLY if you are using a short barrel. If you are using 16" +, then almost anything is going to perform well, if you take barriers out of the mix. You have such great choices, such as the Gold Dot, that there is no reason to even think about "match" anything for...

    Whats a "good" 100 yard group size?

    I don't understand this. I believe both methods measure the exact same thing, which is variance in bullet dispersion from point of aim. Yes some people shoot groups with a few MOA of offset so they don't ruin their aiming point, but fundamentally both methods capture the same data point, which...

    Whats a "good" 100 yard group size?

    Anything under 1.25 inches, consistently, is excellent, incredible even. Rimfire is a very dangerous place to look at your best groups as "whats possible" as opposed to an extreme end of the probability bell curve. If you want to chase lot numbers of Center-X or Midas, sure, you might be able to...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Has anyone with one of these screwed on a shouldered Nucleus or Archimedes barrel in .308 bolt family with AICS mags and had luck? I was put off by needing all new barrels, but I don't plan on using a AW mags on this. Trying to decide if I'm hunting down a used Nuke or if I can just order one of...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Anyone tried threading at 5/8 instead of 1/2, and using an adapter?

    To Zero Stop or Not

    Considering every FBI Sniper rifle has a scope with a Zero Stop on it, this sounds like a bunch of BS from the OP. What course? Who were the instructors? And clearly that advice, if it was actually given, is so ridiculous it doesn't even merit a post here.

    Are the fast twist barrels a thing of the past?

    The main point of fast twist on centerfire (bullet design/weight aside) was for transonic performance. That may very well be doubly true with .22 RF, but most of us are intentionally shooting subsonic. I wouldn't be surprised if 1:12 really shined at distance with .22 RF match rounds starting...

    Mag holders for Tikka T1x?

    I'll make one for the KRG in a few weeks. I have the same need and would like the be able to carry a spare on the rifle.

    Has anybody heard of aftermarket support of Savage's Impulse?

    A lot of people thought there was a market for a US made, affordable, straight pull. Maybe there is, maybe being in a Savage footprint is a turn off. Gun Tests just reviewed it, very positively, and noted that they were able to run it about 15% faster than comparable PRS style actions. My...

    ARC Rimfire Action or Conversion Possibility ?

    I bet no one has told him that the real engineering challenge isn't AW mags in a 700 repeater, but a slick and sexy rimfire in a 700 footprint... We just need to plant the seed...
