I am curious what is the result of using a light weight BCG with a suppressor? Everyone always recommends a heavy buffer when shooting suppressed to help slow down the bolt unlocking and bcg cycle speed. Will a light weight BCG cause issues when suppressed? i am working on building a 6.5cm...

I have been fighting with a left hand Stag AR-10 for a while now, as it simply never has performed as well as i would like. I have tried dozens and dozens of different loads with different bullets, powder etc... It seems to never shoot as accurately as i would like. Plus it always is tearing up...

When an AR-10 cycles, does the BCG travel back until it bottoms out the buffer? Reason I ask is i can't figure out a weird issue. The charging handle is coming unlatched when fired. thus on the last round of the mag the bolt locks back and the charging handle is loose and can slide back. It is...

Do AR-10's not handle pressure as well as bolt guns? what i mean by this is, due to the bolt design and being gas operated, do they need to run at significantly lower pressure then the same chamber in a bolt gun? I have a great load i use in my Tikka 6.5cm of 46.4gr of RL-26 and 147eld's. In...

On my AR10 on the last round of the magazine, for some reason the charging handle always comes loose. Is this normal? doesn't seem like it should do this, but i don't know what is causing it. Could it be from the bolt slamming back hard enough it jars the latch loose? its always on the last...

I need new hunting binos, and looking for suggestions. I was recommended the Meopta as a great bang for the buck for good glass quality. I was wondering how the MeoPro would compare with Vortex Vipers? I was told the MeoPro is better glass. Also what about Athon Cronus bions? are they any good...

I'm tired of fighting with my crappy Stag AR-10 barrel, so i simply want to replace it with something lighter so i can actually use the gun for hunting. I have shot wilson combat barrels before and they shot good in AR-15. How are their 6.5cm barrels? Also was looking at Criterion. They are...

where can you buy Tikka parts? I have a T3x and lost the dang ejector spring.... However, i can't find it anywhere. Brownels and a few other places have a "bolt parts kit" that comes with all the springs and parts for the bolt, but its $55 and I only need 1 spring. I found a spring at...

I noticed my Ar-10 doesn't like to easily close the BCG all the way. For example if I slowly close the bolt with the charging handle, it will pick up a round but it will stop about 1/2" short of fully closing. However if i slowly close the bcg with out a round i can gently let it close...

I happen to see these today, are they any good? Looks similar to a JP SCS but is half the price. Granted you can't adjust the weight, but i like the idea. REason being is i think the issue with my Stag AR-10 is the buffer is too light, so this Armaspec SRS has a 5.7oz buffer. then i can tune...

I have a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 scope I'm going to sale. It was for a gun I was building but had a bad barrel and now I have lost interest, and this scope is just sitting around. It is in great shape, tracks well and has great glass. It comes with the sun shade, and Vortex Defender flip up caps...

I bought a Tikka t3x lite in 6.5cm and a couple cases of Federal Non-typical whitetail ammo. It is cheap and shot well in my other guns, however for some reason 50% of teh rounds are either hard to close the bolt or some simply won't close. I have heard Tikkas have tighter chambers. I sent the...

Looking for a new Remage style barrel for a remington 700. Who all makes them? I wanted to get a criterion but they refuse to chamber short action magnums. I believe pac-nor makes them as well as patriot valley. Any other options out there I should be looking at?

I finally broke down and bought Tikka t3x lite. Love this gun and it is becoming my favorite hunting gun. I have the action/barrel off to get threaded. While I have it apart I'm wondering if i should free float the barrel? So far it has shot cheap factory ammo extremely well (1/2 moa). I was...

I wanted to hear from other owners of 6.5 PRC's. Shooting Hornady factory ammo, do you have ejector swipes? On my 6.5 prc I have been fighting it for about a year. I sent the barreled action back to the place that made the barrel, so they could inspect it. I am getting ejector swipes bad...

I bought a Ruger Hawkeye as i have several of the M77 MKII's (same action) and love them. However this rifle has been a turd from the get go. The action and bolt were both bead blasted to make for the roughest operating action I have ever seen. I polished the bolt, and ran it about 1000 times to...

Have you ever seen an extractor get stuck in the bolt? I tore my 300wm apart, and put on a 6.5prc barrel. I had the action and barrel cerakoted, and the face of the action trued. After I received it back I am having this issue. Essentially the extractor is getting brass shavings somehow...

So finally got my Stag AR10 in 6.5cm. Gun shoots amazingly well, like I didn't think a factory AR10 would ever shoot that well. The thing seems to be hard on brass. Any spent brass has a big scratch down the side of it. Also if i eject the shell with out firing it, the scratch goes down the...

Does cold weather make for difficult conditions on a rangefinder? Reason i ask is I had a sig kilo 2000, and could never get it to range very far in the cold. However in warm weather it did great. Got a kilo2200 and same thing, can't range animals out very far in the cold. I tried keeping the...

I have started looking around at getting a set of rangefinder binos since I lost my sig kilo 2000, and I need a better set of binoculars. I was looking at the Nikon Laserforce and the Vortex Fury. Has anyone compared these two? Price is similar, wondering how the ranging ability would be on...
