    barrett 95 or DTA (or bushy)

    I'm thinking that I <span style="text-decoration: underline">need</span> a 50cal bolt action with a mag. Call it the caliber completion project (223, 308, 338, now 50cal) (I also need a 6mmBR, but thats anther topic) What do you guys think? Is the bushmaster worth a sh*t? The DTA is 5lbs...

    Is this weird? 20" rock better with 155 than 175

    So, at the range today I was shooting at 200yrds. I was shooting FGMM 168, and 2 flavors of the southwest ammo- 175 smk's and 155 scenars. Its a newish rock creek barrel that is 19.5". I seemed to be getting the best results with the 155gr bullets (a touch over .75" groups) I am not too...

    We should be giving our rifles more credit

    Some unimportant bs that has probably been discussed before.... We are always talking about a rifles potential accuracy in terms of moa. If a given gun can produce .5" groups at 100, we call it a 1/2moa gun. But maybe we should call it a 1/4 moa gun. It seems like to consistently produce 1/2...

    Rainier arms ultra match 308 accuracy?

    I know that some of the peeps on here have bought these barrels. How are they shooting for you? I have a 16" and I'm not too happy with it. It seems to average about 1.5 MOA w/ FGMM. I had a professional shooter confirm this (He works up loads for other peoples guns.) He did get one decent...

    2 shots in exactly the same hole?

    Ok, I was at the range today w a new rock creek 308 conversion for my DTA- work done by APA. Ammo- FGMM 168. I shot 3 groups at 200yds all at a hair over an inch (1/2+ moa). I them moved to 100 and shot a 5/8" group and then shot a second 3 shot group at the center of a target sheet. The...

    re-contour a barrel? DTA 338LM

    I have a DTA with a 338 barrel conversion. The barrel is fluted and is 26" long. I am thinking about cutting it down to 23" and slimming the barrel down considerably. Is this possible? Can I drop a few lbs this way, or only oz's. I know that this will reduce the accuracy after the first few...

    POF redesign request

    Let me start with the things that make the P308 great- super accurate- I can't seem to shoot a big group with this gun and I'm a shi**y shot. I'm sure this is related to the rock creek barrel boringly reliable operation- the piston system just hums along without any missteps. I haven't had a...

    any probs w/ using too short buffer

    I have a PRS stock on my POF p308. Can I use the buffer that was in the shorter buffer tube that came with the rifle? Will a buffer that is too short cause problems? What kind? Thanks.

    new ar-10 build- advice needed-please.

    I am in the process of gathering parts for a new SR-25 type upper. (I know this isn't an ar-10. It just made for a catchier title) I am planning on using a JD machine receiver. As I stated in an earlier post, I am not using an Iron Ridge upper b/c I think I want a forward assist. Other...

    JD ar-10 receivers- any good? Other receiver opt?

    Anybody use one of these? I am assembling the parts for a DPMS pattern precision 308. I like iron ridge, but I want a forward assist. http://www.jdmachinetech.com/ Other options for stripped uppers? BTW-going w/ Rock Creek barrel, DPMS barrel ext, JP hand guard, JP BCG, JP adj gas block.

    POF upper compatibility with DPMS- please help

    Does anyone know if a POF piston system would work with a DPMS type upper? In other words, does a POF stripped upper have the same specs as a DPMS stripped upper? I am interested in the 308, not the 223. I really like the piston set up on the POF, but not the rail. I would rather have a rail...

    POF P-308 rail system problems

    At the range today w/ my P-308 and it was shooting somewhat erratically. I thought is was me until I got home and pulled it out of the case and things seemed a little too loose. I quickly realized that the rail had become loose. The POF rail is not part of the receiver, so when it is loose...

    Rifle Scopes Talbot mounts- anybody used? still in business?

    LL's thread about back up optics made think about this system. I tried asking about it in that thread, but I think that there were some distractions. The idea is that you have a mount on the gun and then mounts on each optic that simply snap in to the gun's mount. One could have a single gun...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper 8.5X50 Binos- should I buy

    Bayou Rifles- Should I join?

    I know this isn't the right place for this, but I figure that more people will see it here. I'm thinking about going to the orientation next weekend- should I do it? It seems like there are a lot of somewhat unnecessary regs- no class 3 weapons, no .338lm or larger calibers, etc. Also, it...

    Rock Creek barrels?

    I am having a smith assemble a barrel for my DTA. It is going to be a 308 with a 1 in 11 or 1 in 10 twist and 20" long. The only barrel that I would consider that I can get now is a Rock Creek. Everything else is months out. (Kreiger, Bartlin, Broughton) Opinions please on the Rock Creek...

    action truing for semi-auto

    Can this be done? I hear about people getting their rem 700 actions blueprinted and trued. Can a smith do the same thing to an AR-10 or AR-15? Would it make a difference?

    tensioning pin for ar-10 upper/lower fit

    What do you guys think of these? I have one of the JP enterprise pins on the way. My POF has a little more slop between the upper and lower than I want. BTW- Does the iron ridge lower have one of those tensioning screws like some ar15 lowers have? thx
