    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm The Cobb looks cool but I haven't seen them produce anything (other than the 50) since bushmaster bought them a few years ago. I was only able to find a few for sale after mucho google scouring. It's to bad - that was almost exactly what I wanted.

    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm Excellent - I will research these ideas I wanted to stay with 7mm for the retained energy at range, and reading various threads here lead me to believe that the 243 and 260 were less capable in that regard compared to the 7mm bullets. This may...

    Gunsmithing 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm

    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm Yeah - I'm a little disappointed about this. I contacted accuracy systems inc yesterday and they do build 7mm08 and 284 chambered AR10's. And I'm right back to the 2.8 mag limit again. So I stay with 162/168gr bullets or get into a whole...

    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm Actually the only thing that bothered me is that you seem to think I'm wrong. What did I do to him to make him jump in my shit? Enough of this though - I am interested in rifles, not being a keyboard ninja. Having a rifle that is a one-off...

    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm Hmm - someone chooses to read a thread, chooses to insult the poster, chooses not to answer the question and thats cool. The poster gives it back and gets told he's rude and wont make friends. What am I mising here?

    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm So as long as I pick a "long action" semi-auto and throw money at it its a possiblity then? OAL= Over All Length? COAL= Cartridge over all length? So a 7mm08 should be easier then the 284 in a 30-06 garand? Know any good smiths that need an...

    Re: 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm So you think the M1 garand would be a good firearm to start examining as a potential platform for the 7mm? I have not used an M1 before - could you tell me why you suggest it in particular? (availibility of parts, number of good gunsmiths, etc)

    Gunsmithing 260, 284, 7mm08 into semi auto or AR10 7mm

    The 260 rem, 7mm08, 284 win are all limited by length constraints and case capacity in the AR10 platform and SA bolt rifles. Bolt rifles overcome this with LA frames, custom chambers, and other voodoo. I base that statement on the fact that they all have a listed cartridge length of 2.8. This...

    Re: 2010 Snipers Hide Rifle Build Greg & Ratbert you make some excellent points. As a new member I am constantly overwhelmed by the perception (perhaps mistaken) that everyone here is sporting 8-20k rigs. Looking at the pics people post certainly doesn't prove me wrong. It definitely...

    Caliber for long distance AZ shooting/hunting

    Re: Caliber for long distance AZ shooting/hunting I still want to stuff this into a SA frame so 7mm mag is out. So I can fire .284 diameter bullets from either a .308 case (making it a 7mm-08) or from a 30-06 case (making it a ? 7mm-06? or do we just call it .280 / .284 then, or ?) Does...

    Caliber for long distance AZ shooting/hunting

    Re: Caliber for long distance AZ shooting/hunting I have been browsing through the local sporting goods stores -mostly the chain store "Dick's" here in eastern NC. Also the other stores that sell ammo (Wally-world, etc). I can find .243, .280, .308, and usually 7mm rem mag. This is nice to...
