    Rifle Scopes Something New From Vortex

    Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but looks like Vortex is rolling out a new/updated 5-25 scope in their lineup. With their release of the 5-25 Strike Eagle not long ago I'd think this might be something on the higher end, but have no idea...

    Origin Control Round Feed Not Working

    Just installed and headspaced a 6.5 Creed CBI barrel on my new Origin. This Origin is my second, with my first using a special push feed bolt head for 223 Ackley. Now I'm having some trouble with the new control feed standard head. My understanding is the rounds are supposed to strip and enter...

    Ended up finding one, thanks all. Just wanted to see what was out there for Gen 1 6-24 PSTs. Was planning on throwing my Gen 2 on a new upper but wanted to see if I could cut a little weight with the Gen 1. Hoping for MIL, can be beat up as long as glass is in good shape. Thanks

    How desperate are you for Large Rifle Primers?

    No idea if these are boxer/berdan, or if they're even usable to be honest, but I'm guessing someone here might just be willing to try them at this point. My arms are tired just thinking about all that depriming. If you're one of these desperate people, let us know how it goes...

    Thoughts on Magpul PRS Lite?

    Didn't see any threads on this, sorry if I missed it. What does everyone think of the new PRS Lite just announced? Seems like it has most of the features I liked from the PRS, but a little more streamlined and lighter (18.2 oz vs 27.8 oz for PRS). Also about 1/2 the price. Probably will pick one...

    Bighorn Arms is Changing to Zermatt Arms

    Not sure if I missed it somewhere here, but a little bit of a change up at Bighorn/Zermatt. Reasoning seems to be pretty solid. I guess I didn't even realize my Origin didn't have Bighorn on it anywhere. Also, they seem to have something big in the works for an upcoming release.
