    New Frontier GTG?

    Hey all, Instead of further polluting the billet thread, I just thought I start my own. Are the New Frontier Armory G4 lowers good to go? Also looking at JL Billet, but not sure if they’re worth the premium.

    AS for Xeno muzzle device?

    Hey all, So I finally got my Xeno brake in the mail. Now, with regular muzzle devices/flash hiders, I always put a little aeroshell on the threads. DA's instructions don't mention that, in fact they say if you want to use rocksett etc you can. So, should I completely bypass the aeroshell and...

    Xeno compatible brakes?

    Hey all, So I'm going with a Xeno setup for my first centerfire can. I already have DA Xeno FHs on my SBRs. I'm looking for some brakes to put on my bolt guns. I like the DA brake for the lack of a need for timing etc. That being said, it doesn't seem to be that functional as an actual...

    Reference website with most scope OEM info?

    Hey all, I also posted this in the precision rifle section on ARF. Anyway, mebbe y'all can help. There's a website (obviously I can't remember the name) that is a GREAT resource for OEM/manufacturers of scopes. I seem to remember it having "varmint" in the title. But the guy pretty much...

    Chea...err...affordable 1-6?

    Hey all, I'm looking at a LPVO for my Ruger American Ranch in 5.56. I have a Burris RT-6 on my RAR in 7.62x39 and it's great. Anyway, PA has their GLx 1-6 on sale for $399. The problem is, I find the reticles on the GLx to be "busy". That being said, I haven't heard any negatives about the new...

    Suppressors First (possibly only) centerfire suppressor?

    Ok, so I'm looking at getting a budget-friendly suppressor to do double duty on my .308 rifles and 5.56 rifles (semis and ARs..two of them SBR). I figure this will probably be my only centerfire rifle can. I'm looking at the Resonator, Lahar, and the KGM R30. Thoughts?

    Need bore guide for Howa 1500

    Alright, So I got my 1500, and now I need a rod guide. The Possum Hollow ones and Sinclair seem to be unobtainium. I emailed Possum Hollow, so hopefully, I'll get a reply soon. Any ideas where to find one?

    KRG Bravo/Howa. Mag tight.

    Alright, So I've looked around and I think this might solve the issue. I just put my howa together and the Pmag is REALLY right in there. Now, I poked around and found this... since the action is already snugged up in the chassis, just loosen it a bit and do the "pull back on the action and...

    Howa bolt knobs?

    Alrighty, So I have my 1500 on the way. I'd like to have a bolt knob installed. That being said, I'm not a fan of the clamp ons. Now I know it's apples to oranges, but I have an Anarchy ball installed on my Ruger Ranch and I love it. That being said, the Ruger also has an extended handle...

    Chassis for Howa...Bravo or HCR?

    Alright, So I was finally able to track down (and buy) a 16" 1500. I'm looking at the Bravo or the HCR. Any preferences/recommendations?

    Mount for Aero M5

    Ok So I’ll be getting my 18” barreled upper in the Mail soon. I received my Gen II PST 3-15 the other day. So, I need a mount. QD would be cool but not absolutely necessary. I’m pretty sure I don’t need any extra cant since I currently don’t have access to anything over 200 yards here in...

    Sub $500-ish 308AR scope recs?

    Alrighty, So I'm finally getting my Aero M5 put together. Going with 18" .308. Range toy/blaster with current access to 100 yards. If I end up joining Ft. Meade, I'll have access to 600. Anyway, I'm looking at sub $500-ish. So I'm thinking.... Swampfox 1-10? Sightron Stac 3-16? Athlon...

    Howa mini owners....ring question

    So I have everything I need to finish my .223 build except the scope rings. I have a Vortex Diamondback tactical 4-16x44 on the way. Rifle is a 20" HB and I'm using an EGW base. That being the case will Vortex or Burris XTR low rings work? Or, should I go with medium?

    Scope for 7.62x39 bolt gun?

    Alright, so I finally got my Ruger 7.62x39 bolt gun. Now I need some glass. I currently have access to nothing greater than 200 yards. Since this is just a fun toy, I need something in the sub-$400 bracket I'm looking at.... Blackhound 1-8 (don't know much about 'em, but they're supposedly a...

    Scope rec's? Somewhat short range .223 bolt...

    Alright, So I sincerely hope this isn't too redundant, but I'm looking for scope recommendations... The rifle: Howa mini action in .223, will probably get barrel chopped to 16" Range: Currently no more than 200 yards (F-Maryland ) Budget: I'd LIKE to keep it around $400, this is just a "fun"...

    Pick My Camo!

    Alrighty, So I just sent my BRN-1 (pretty much an MDT LSS) chassis out for cerakote. I'm still a little undecided as to what pattern I want. I thought for fun I'd let the forums decide. I'm having Five 9 Firearms outside of Lubbock do it. I figure all three are cool, so there's no losing...

    Bases? EGW vs. Outerimpact

    So, now that I finally have my Howa mini in .223, I'm starting to get it set up. I'm looking at scope bases. Now for a .223, and living here in MD, I don't need any built in elevation. I've seen the EGW and a (new to me) Outerimpact. The Outerimpact certainly has the edge in price. However...

    Lightweight buttstock for small chassis?

    Ok, so I just got my Howa mini in .223 and I'm most likely going to put it in a BRN-1. Now, I know the Luth is popular, but it just seems awfully bulky. What I really wanted, MFT Minimalist with cheek piece, isn't a "thing" at least until 2022 . I like the looks of the XLR TR2, but just seems...

    .223 or 7.62x39 for "S & G"

    Ok just looking at a for-shits-and-giggles bolt gun for a range toy. What’s it going to be .223 or 7.62x39? Being in MD I don't have access to any distances greater than 200 yards currently. So I found a Remington 700 AAC-SD with the 16" barrel NIB for $799. Not sure how good of a deal it...

    Tikka barrel thickness at 16"

    Ok, So I'm obsessed with getting a 16" barreled bolt gun in .223. Naturally, Tikka is pretty much my first choice (especially since the Howa 1500 compact hogue doesn't come in .223). Anyway, given that regardless of what model I get (CTR or Varmint....or even lite) I'd end of getting the...
