    Double Duty Suggestions

    Alright guys, time for another question. I’ve nearly got my build done, super excited about that. 20” HB Howa .308 in an MDT LSS XL Gen 2. The rifle is going to be my new do all, so I’m looking for a solid scope for hunting out to roughly 350 yards and...

    .308 Barrel Length Question

    First post on here, figured you guys could help a ton! I’ve shot bolt guns my whole life, but never really delved into them past shooting and swapping scope bases. I’m looking at a new semi custom/custom bolt rifle for myself and I’m going with .308...

    Howa 20” Heavy Barrel .308 Velocity Question

    I appreciate it! I adjusted my come up on the fly without the app I used. App said 5.1 MILs, I was high, came down to 4.5 and was still high, 4 had me hitting the steel. I’ll have to go back into the app and do like you said.

    Howa 20” Heavy Barrel .308 Velocity Question

    Awesome, thanks for that. The box of ammo said 2820, which I assumed was out of a 24” barrel. Worked off of 2600 to start and was high at 500 so I’m trying to get a better idea of where I’m at until can get it on a chronograph.

    Howa 20” Heavy Barrel .308 Velocity Question

    Hey guys, just wondering about what type of muzzle velocity you guys have experienced. Have a 20” heavy barrel .308 Howa and haven’t had much chance to shoot it. Took it to 500 last weekend, but had no muzzle velocity data at all. Winchester Super X 150gr was what I was shooting (not ideal but...

    Man, thanks again for all the help guys. I think the price range of the pig and the SLIK fit me best and should be great for what I want to do

    1st Tripod Setup

    I appreciate all of the suggestions guys, thank you for the info. Definitely a lot of stuff to read through and decide on. The SLIK options that I’ve handled before have seemed sturdy enough but I’ve never shot off of any of them, only messed with a friend’s.

    1st Tripod Setup

    Hey guys, first post in a while. I’m having trouble finding some threads through the search about this, so if you’ve got links to them let me know so I don’t bug you guys with redundant questions! I’m wanting to get my first tripod set up to use with my ARs and my bolt .308 in the MDT LSS XL...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 Grendel bullet for Deer

    I’ve used the 123 SSTs out of my 18” AR with great success. Shot 5 deer with it, only 1 without an exit wound and it dropped right where it stood from about 120 yards. This is him.

    Rifle Scopes Double Duty Suggestions

    Thank you all for your replies and the info. Unfortunately I’ve run into some issues with my truck that I have to get squared away, so this will have to keep waiting for now.

    MDT LSS-XL barrel length

    I’ve got one with a Howa 20” heavy barrel in it, the balance is pretty nice. A little front heavy but not drastically

    Which 308 upper and lower receivers are best quality for the buck?

    Let me correct, my mistake. I’ve used several AP sets, but only one M5 set. None of them have ever had an issue. I’ve never had any issues with their customer service, but that was more in simply asking questions than anything else. My fault for the lack of clarification.

    Which 308 upper and lower receivers are best quality for the buck?

    I’ve used several Aero Precision receiver sets and never had an issue with any of them. Customer service is great as well

    MDT HS3 vs LSS-XL Gen2

    Phil, just from personal experience I love my LSS XL Gen 2. I’ve got a Howa .308 sitting in mine and I’m using the polymer mags as well, and I love it. I haven’t even finished my rifle yet, took a stock off one of my ARs and just slapped a random scope on just to go squeeze a couple rounds off...
