    Proof SS or Wilson combat super sniper

    Sometimes a cheaper barrel will meet my expectations, but it took me a while to accept that rolling the dice isn't a gamble I'm willing to take these days. In the past, I've spent untold number of hours and hundreds of dollars of ammo and reloading components trying to polish a turd. I'd buy...

    New rifle case for ATX with folder? Triad/AIM

    I'm probably a cheap bastard when it comes to rifle cases and stuff like that, but I have a 42-in Savior brand that seems like a whole lot of case for the money. My AI AT-X fits nicely with room to spare. I'm very happy with it, probably made in china, but it seems much higher quality than the...

    Geissele Super Duty or LMT MARS L-5.56 16in

    It's almost definitely chrome lined. LMT does sell their own line of factory 5r cut rifled stainless steel barrels, but I have never seen one of these come on a small frame LMT factory rifle or upper. I've owned two of these (still own one), while they are more accurate than the chrome lined...

    Geissele Super Duty or LMT MARS L-5.56 16in

    You are going to be happy either way. My LMT is my favorite ar-15, my LMT 6.5 is my favorite ar-10. They make outstanding rifles.

    Geissele Super Duty or LMT MARS L-5.56 16in

    I also have both, this is my exact experience. I love both rifles, they are both outstanding. The only drawback with LMT is the fact that their factory barrels don't tend to shoot as well as Geissele. I've only had 2 Geissele barrels, but I've had 5 factory LMT 5.56 barrels. 3 chrome lined and...

    Vortex 1-10

    I have a Razor 1-10 and I really like it. It does really well out to 650 yards (as far as I've shot with the rifle it's on), and it's nearly as fast as a red dot up close. I think it's a great optic for an accurate 5.56 AR when weight is a consideration. Here's a write-up I did on an LMT AR...

    Accuracy International AT-X

    I agree with this. AI is the easy button. It will give no BS trouble-free top tier performance for a very long time. Maybe I've been lucky, but with modest load development, my 3 AI barrels all shoot several bullets in the .3's consistently. Shoot the barrel out, give Euro or MH $1,000 and...

    People ask me why I don't like Sig.......

    I used to be the biggest Sig fanatic. I discovered their pistols more than 25 years ago, my older P226's and 228's were amazing. My earliest one even came with a test target signed by Hans Gruber or somebody. The level of pride that was taken to make arguably the finest combat handgun in the...

    What's the difference between Black Hills 5.56x45mm NATO Ammo 77 Grain Open Tip Match and Black Hills MK262 MOD 1-C?

    IMI switched to a non-Sierra 77 grain bullet for their IMI 77 grain Razorcore a while back as well

    Cleaning for Carbon

    I think some of these modern high performance smaller caliber cartridges are more prone to carbon rings. That fact, combined with the fact that a lot of shooters seem to be adverse from using a bronze or brass brush. There is also now more awareness due to borescopes being in common usage...

    Well, that sucked.

    I don't see anything worth saving there. Personally, I would trash it and move on.

    Bergara issues

    If it's really shooting large sample size groups well at 100 yards, it should also shoot the same MOA sized groups at 200 yards. It's not an issue with the rifle or the load. A large extreme spread in velocity won't show vertical dispersion until several hundred yards out. It could be...

    Cleaning for Carbon

    I had an older 6.5 CM barrel that still had some life left in it with a carbon ring. I let it soak with Boretech for a while, but patches did not do anything. Because it was an older barrel and I had little to lose, I chucked up a bronze 30 caliber brush on a section of cleaning rod in a...

    Question about potential throat issue on brand new Accuracy International replacement barrel, pic's attached

    This borescope is an Amazon special. I spent the rest of my money on ammo. It's all I have. I did punch the bore, that's after. It is definitely tooling marks, there are five of them that look identical where each groove starts near the throat

    Question about potential throat issue on brand new Accuracy International replacement barrel, pic's attached

    I just received a replacement barrel for my Accuracy International AT-X from a reputable vendor. I have not shot the new barrel yet, or even installed it. The original barrel is well over 3,000 rounds, while it is still shooting acceptably well, I realize I'm on borrowed time as I shoot a lot...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I used to always load 140's with RL16, but I have moved to Berger 130 Hybrids and H4350. In my 24" AI, I get about 2,910 FPS with 130's vs. 2790ish with Berger 140's and RL16. Both group extremely well and have similar velocity consistency. However, the 130 performs much better down range...

    LPVO-second focal options

    Razor 1-6 is a benchmark in the SFP LPVO category. It's unbeatable for the price in my humble opinion. You have to spend considerably more to get something marginally better. Sig Optics are a pass for me, you have to sort through the overwhelming majority of overseas garbage they make to find...

    LMT Barrel conversion review and accuracy report, before conversion vs. after D Wilson conversion

    I have both the 10x and the 6x Razors. I see very little difference in the eyebox. The 10x does get tighter above 8X for sure, but at 6X they seem identical to me. The resolution and brightness on the 10x is outstanding, it's at least as good as the 6X at the same power. I think the 6X is...
