    Angled/Canted Cheek Rest?

    With a high recoiling rifle such as a 338 Lapua, your cheek would be sore after a few rounds with the cheek rest angled "backwards" like that. Practice with it. If it works for you, go with it until you can modify your system (if ever). JMHO

    Only use a sized case. Sizing is what makes 'em grow.

    Hacked my V3 Magnetospeed today

    What is the voltage cutoff of the Magnetospeed? You do realize an 18650 is 3.6v and two CR123's are 7.2v. Given the flat voltage curve of Lion batteries, it may be ok....or not. YMMV JMHO

    Best all around rear bag

    I agree. But be careful talking to new shooters. I recommended the same thing to a guy, and he called me up and asked if buttered was ok? I thought at first he was joking. Explained it was the un-popped kernels not the popped stuff.:) He's not dumb or slow either. IDK.

    Harbor Freight Pelican Case Alternative

    I use an "Apache" 5800 case with the roller wheels for electronic equipment. Pretty robust for the price, and it does what I need.

    That's the title and topic of this whole thread! OP's question was .223 vs .308. :D Personally, shooting both, if any distances >600 yds, I'd go .308.

    Lightweight bullets in a 6.5

    Small groups but large SD

    Increase your samples to at least five rounds for initial testing. That should at least give some confidence in your numbers. Then take your most accurate groups with the lowest SD and adjust seating, charge weight, etc. to lower your SD. A low SD or ES doean't do you much good if it isn't...

    MDT Oryx Chassis

    I had the same problem with Firefox when I tried ordering one. I had to open up the pages in chrome to get them to load correctly and be able to place an order. I had my stock in hand w/in 5 working days! (there was a holiday weekend). My HOWA 223 functions smooth as silk with original AICS 223...

    I love Arizona!

    Because the state Attorneys General already reviewed the case and said it's ok, just don't do it again.

    PRIME Ammo Out of Stock?

    They don't "make" ammo. They contract out production to a manufacturer (currently European).

    Bergara vs Howa - please help me decide

    Just to be up-front, my 223 trainer is a re-barreled Howa (that I re-barreled) and I love it. But....If you don't do your own machine work, the number of Gunsmiths that will work on metric can be counted on one hand. After market equipment is "slowly" becoming available for Howas which is a...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell’s Match Optic

    That's because you only ordered one thing. Buy two or more (price grater than the 10% savings) and you get it on the non-back ordered item. I know, it's weird. JME

    PRIME Ammo Out of Stock?

    I asked my LGS (who sells Prime ammo) what was up with no available Prime ammo. "He said" they were negotiating a new production deal, and hopefully would hear something in a few weeks. That's my "heard it" rumor and I'm sticking with it. :)
