I'll start by saying I've not shot past about 500 yards. I just got rid of a 700P/McMillan/8.5-25x50 MK4 combo in favor of something a little lighter and a little more fun. I'm putting together a 25wssm AR-15. It's not going to be a LR beast, but it's going to double as my hunting rifle and will...

I have a 458 SOCOM upper that will be here in the next couple days. The original plan was to use an Aimpoint Micro on it, but the Accupoints have caught my eye. The main purpose for this rig is bear defense when we're hiking/camping/hunting in the high country. This isn't Alaska, but we do have...

I'm having trouble finding bullet data on most of the manufacturer sites. I'm trying to find a 7mm bullet in the 120-140gr range, decent (high 400's) BC, with .580" or less ogive length. Am I just not looking in the right places or what? Berger is the only site I've been to out of Hornady...

I'm putting together a 7mm WSSM AR15, and I'm looking for optics recommendations. The idea with this build is to have a hunting and LR gun in one. I have a MK4 8.5-25x50 LR/T that I'm going to sell in favor of something a little more game friendly, but I still want something that works at...

I'm having Dtec build me a 7mm WSSM upper for one of my lonely AR15 lowers. From what I can find on the parent 25wssm case I have about .317" before I get past the throat of the case. The Berger 140gr VLD I want to use is 1.018" OAL. At a max COAL of 2.260" (feeding through an AR magazine) that...

Anybody have any experience with Dtech? I'm considering one of their uppers in a 7mm WSSM wildcat. It appears to come very close to fitting my hunting/LR weapon in a fairly lightweight package... 22" fluted upper is 5.8lb, and I think with some more fluting could be lightened up to 5.5lb or so...

I've been working on details for a build that will suit both hunting (mainly white tail to 4-500 yards) and LR shooting. I want a gas gun that's capable of mid range hunting shots and will still get out to 1k at supersonic velocities AND is light enough to haul around in the field. I want to be...

Anybody running a can on their 6.5 Grendel? Do you like it? How well does it work? I'm going to be putting together a 24" and considering having it knocked down to 22" and threaded for a can. Is it worth it? The only experience I have with suppressors is FA MP5 shooting subsonic 147gr and semi...

Based on some advice I received here along with some others' input, I'm going to put together an 6.5 Grendel AR. The ballistics are all-around better than the 6.8 SPC, and appear to even beat the .308 (although with a lighter bullet) at extended ranges. BC and SD are great... small platform...

I currently have a Remington 700 Police in .308... it's had a little work and is sitting on a loaded McMillan Baker Special... it's a great shooter, but I'm thinking about trading it/selling it in favor of an AR10 or LR308. I'm thinking that a 24" heavy barrel should get me out there for...
