    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Sorry I just saw this comment. It’s the original covert sneaky bag . I’ve had it for years and they make another cool bag called the spyder, but I’ve never had my hands one one. For smaller stuff like carbines and SBR it has a liner in the main body for if you needed to take shit apart to get it...

    Lol dude I threw it on close for a picture and didn’t check it for that one 😅. Apparently whisky is a liar on my end lol.

    16.5” 6.5cm PVA finally showed up. Now I just need to find some paint and a good primer. This thing is instantly my new favorite rifle and fits in the old sneaky bag like it was made for it. 15 lbs with bipod and suppressor. Thinking about taking off the RRS plate and installing the factory skin...

    Ruger American.450 bushmaster

    I don’t have a have a ruger American but I too am a Michigan man and have come to love the 450. Fairly easy to reload. I have a CA Mesa in 450BM and used to hunt with a 450 AR. I have taken some nice bucks with it as well!

    KRG Bravo for hunting gun?

    Perfect thread to show off a bit lol. I’m a huge fan of the Bravo for all applications. But my only current bravo is on my 450 Bushmaster deer rifle. It’s a badass setup for Southern Michigan farm country and I wouldn’t at all be hesitant to take it to the bigger woods up north. It’s a CA Mesa...

    Rifle Scopes 2-10 optic

    For sure SFP can be superior during the twilight hours, especially with illumination. That being said I’m going to have disagree that’s FFP are only for what you mentioned. Most of the time you have to time to get the distance with a laser while hunting and if you don’t and it’s past your point...

    Optic for Ar-15 "SPR/DMR" build

    That would depend on use I’d say. FFP scopes with super thin reticles at the lowest power benefit greatly from daylight bright illumination.

    Optic for Ar-15 "SPR/DMR" build

    I really like the Vortex PST Gen 2 2-10.

    16” 6.5 Creedmoor

    This is a good read to put it perspective. I’ll post some of the bigger eye opener charts for me with 6.5cm (taken from this article) https://rifleshooter.com/2016/02/6-5-creedmoor-effect-of-barrel-length-on-velocity-cutting-up-a-creedmoor/

    Gunsmithing Who’s bushing firing pins?

    That’s what their website says. When LRI bushed my AIAX I couldn’t get my calipers to read any different than fired brass from before the bush. I was super impressed.

    NX8 glass vs ATACR glass

    The search bar will take you far my friend, but I’ve had a few beers now so I’ll continue. I’m confused how this is even a question? ATACR for sure. If you’re looking at the 2.5-20 you won’t be too happy if you’ve looked through other highish end scopes. The 4-32 NX8 is a great scope, still no...

    Maybe a dumb question but is the finish on the MK13 MOD7 barrel bead blast or just bare metal?

    Rifle Scopes NX8 versus ATACR advise needed

    It’s all about checking and unchecking boxes for feature needs that suit what you want. Add $500 for illuminated MK5 and XTR3 theres no option currently for illuminated. I’ll definitely be interested in checking the XTR3 when that is an option as long as it doesn’t effect the current specs and...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 versus ATACR advise needed

    Yea that’s the thing. Competition guys don’t worry about weight and could care less about capped windage most of the time. The real answer is without jumping up almost $1K (could be worth it to a lot for an extra 4-5 oz weight savings with the features) to the March 3-24x52 I don’t think there’s...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 versus ATACR advise needed

    So maybe there there is... for people basing there scope decision on competing. I don’t thing NF ever intended it to awe the competition crowd. It definitely sounds like the 2.5-20 suffers from some optical problems, but I’ve never looked through one so I can’t really say either way. But what...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 versus ATACR advise needed

    Well with only nightforce choices tracking should be a non issue. The Mil-XT reticle is pretty nice. Not my fav x-mas tree/grid but better than all the Horus options and some other ones. I love how only the main crosshairs light up when using illumination. Makes the lower power visible...

    I’m right now playing with a 4-32 NX8 after selling my Gen 2 razor (28 oz scope. It’s weight influenced my decision. I know not everyone loves the scope and other love them. I think it’s has it’s limits on the top end of magnification but in that 4-20x range its a great scope). I ordered a...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    That should be kick ass. Sounds like you could push a 175-185 fairly comparable to a 308 too. Very interesting!
