    Rifle Scopes EBR-7F Reticle

    Hey guys. I've been seeing a version of the Gen II Razor with the EBR-7F reticle in it. Honestly, if this thing was out when I bought my NX8, the Vortex may be what I would have gone with instead. Anyway, has anyone used this reticle. My intention would be to run it on my 12.5, 5.56 rig...

    Suppressors Rimfire suppressor

    I'm looking for a suppressor that I can use on my AR22 that isn't made with an aluminum tube. Any suggestions?

    Suppressors Does anyone have a YHM R45 suppressor?

    Hey all. I was considering getting a YHM R9 to use on my 5" 9mm PCC and 8" 300BO, but after watching a bunch of videos, it seems that everyone is saying that the R45 outperforms the R9 at everything, despite the oversized bore, and it's only an inch longer. I have a bunch of silencers to buy...

    CCI Uppercut .22lr Jacketed Hollowpoints in 5.56 suppressor

    I just ran across this ammo. Jacketed, not plated, .22lr ammo. Does this mean it's safe to shoot out of a non serviceable suppressor without worrying about leading? CCI Uppercut

    AAC 55gr Sabre Blade velocity?

    I recently threw together an 11.5 to run as a dedicated suppressor host for a YHM Fat Cat. When I ran some PMC m855 over a Garmin chronograph I got ~2750 fps, which is about what I usually get with that ammo out of an 11.5. When I ran the 55gr Sabre Blades over the same Chronograph, I got...

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    I have a fair bit of experience shooting suppressed, but until recently, I've never felt compelled to own a suppressor. I've always thought that shooting suppressed was more of a pain in the butt than it was worth. I have, however, reached the point where I'm thinking that it doesn't make sense...

    What upper receivers are you guys using to get a good thermal fit?

    Until recently, my goto stripped upper receiver was the BCM blems. A while back, I ordered half a dozen of them. They all worked fine for various rigs and provided a good thermal fit. When I ran out, I ordered 3 more. Of those 3, two were unusable. One was so tight that I couldn't even get the...

    Pin and weld suppressor?

    I have an idea bouncing around in my head and wanted to get a few opinions. My favorite rig is based on a 12.5" Criterion Hybrid barrel. Next to my "precision" rig, it's my most accurate setup. It almost seems like it goes on autopilot everytime I squeeze the trigger. Anyway, I've never been...

    Questions about using rings to mount on an AR

    I wasn't able to find anything, so thought I'd ask. I'm a big fan of the AR platform and have a few. On one of my rigs, I run a 1-8x NX8. This is a short scope, with a relatively short eye relief. For me, I do not require my mount to be cantilevered to put the scope where I need it to be, so I...

    Criterion barrels - Accuracy

    A while back, I decided that I wanted to go with barrels that would stand up to hard use a bit better than the run of the mill Ballistic Advantage or Roscoe type barrels and decided to go with Criterion. I went with a 14.5 Core to run with a 10x scope, a 13.9 Core to run with an ACOG and a 12.5...

    Shooting a 10/22

    Well, I've recently been bitten by the rimfire bug. I had some friends at my range pestering me about shooting the Saturday matches over there, so I finally decided to give it a try. I told them that I had a 10/22 to shoot the match with and they all told me that I couldn't do it with a 10/22...

    Looking for something more

    I've been shooting .308 for a little bit now and I'm on my second semi custom rifle. I'm getting to be a pretty good shooter and am now getting really bored with the .308. Now I'm looking for something with more thump, just for the thrill of it. The reason that I went with .308 is that it's a...

    Rifle Scopes Just got my 6-24X50 SFP PST: first observations

    After taking it out of the box, I noticed a few things. The first is that it does have a solid feel to it. It definitely doesn't feel like a cheap POS. The knurling on the knobs is rather fine, sharp even. I'm a little worried that it's fine and sharp enough to snag stuff like clothing. The...

    Rifle Scopes Keeping crud off of your objective

    Hey guys, Whenever I get out in the field, I invariably forget to close my objective cover or are just plain not using one, like on my Nightforce where I use the bikini cover. Even when I'm trying to be careful, I always wind up getting crud on my objective. I don't know about you guys, but...

    Anyone not like the AICS chassis? Why?

    Hey guys, I have a Remington 700 that I've put a bit of work (money) into that I have grown to really like. It's sitting in an HS Precision 700P pull off stock right now. I recently acquired another SPS Tactical in .223 and was thinking about getting another pull off stock for it, but then I...

    Need help with ring height

    I did a search and didn't find exactly what I needed to know. Anyway, I have a Remy 700 with a Krieger MTU profile barrel. I have a Nightforce 5.5-22X50 on a Nightforce 20MOA mount. Does anyone have a similar setup and are running Nightforce rings? Or any brand of rings for that matter. I'm...

    Need DBM info for .223 bolt gun

    I just picked up an SPS Tactical in .223 to compliment my .308 bolt gun. I threw a little Nightforce 2.5-10X32 on top of it and took it out this weekend. I like the rifle and really don't think it NEEDS anything, but I did two things while shooting it. The first is that it hates 77gr...

    Re: 155 SMK 2156 - Does this sound right?

    Hey guys, I've been playing around with all sorts of new loads for my .308 since I put the new barrel on it. I went with a 22" Krieger and the smith that did the work told me that he used a reamer appropriate for the Sierra SMK, whatever that means. Anyway, I loaded up 50 of the 155 Palma SMKs...

    .308 best barrel length

    Hey guys, I think I may have screwed up my barrel or there is an excess of copper build up someplace or something. In any case, I'm tired of dealing with it. I just ordered a barrel from Krieger. It's going to be 26" long, so I can go up to 25" long on it, once all is said and done. I really...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting scope on Remington 700

    I have an issue that's been driving me crazy and maybe for nothing. I have an SPS Tactical on which the mount holes are drilled way off center. When I mounted the scope up using regular rings, I had to correct the windage by something around 30 minutes to get the scope on target. I HEARD that...
