I'm thinking that I <span style="text-decoration: underline">need</span> a 50cal bolt action with a mag. Call it the caliber completion project (223, 308, 338, now 50cal) (I also need a 6mmBR, but thats anther topic) What do you guys think? Is the bushmaster worth a sh*t? The DTA is 5lbs...

So, at the range today I was shooting at 200yrds. I was shooting FGMM 168, and 2 flavors of the southwest ammo- 175 smk's and 155 scenars. Its a newish rock creek barrel that is 19.5". I seemed to be getting the best results with the 155gr bullets (a touch over .75" groups) I am not too...

Some unimportant bs that has probably been discussed before.... We are always talking about a rifles potential accuracy in terms of moa. If a given gun can produce .5" groups at 100, we call it a 1/2moa gun. But maybe we should call it a 1/4 moa gun. It seems like to consistently produce 1/2...

I know that some of the peeps on here have bought these barrels. How are they shooting for you? I have a 16" and I'm not too happy with it. It seems to average about 1.5 MOA w/ FGMM. I had a professional shooter confirm this (He works up loads for other peoples guns.) He did get one decent...

Ok, I was at the range today w a new rock creek 308 conversion for my DTA- work done by APA. Ammo- FGMM 168. I shot 3 groups at 200yds all at a hair over an inch (1/2+ moa). I them moved to 100 and shot a 5/8" group and then shot a second 3 shot group at the center of a target sheet. The...

I have a DTA with a 338 barrel conversion. The barrel is fluted and is 26" long. I am thinking about cutting it down to 23" and slimming the barrel down considerably. Is this possible? Can I drop a few lbs this way, or only oz's. I know that this will reduce the accuracy after the first few...

Thinking about a new 308. Thanks for the input.

Let me start with the things that make the P308 great- super accurate- I can't seem to shoot a big group with this gun and I'm a shi**y shot. I'm sure this is related to the rock creek barrel boringly reliable operation- the piston system just hums along without any missteps. I haven't had a...

I have a PRS stock on my POF p308. Can I use the buffer that was in the shorter buffer tube that came with the rifle? Will a buffer that is too short cause problems? What kind? Thanks.

I am in the process of gathering parts for a new SR-25 type upper. (I know this isn't an ar-10. It just made for a catchier title) I am planning on using a JD machine receiver. As I stated in an earlier post, I am not using an Iron Ridge upper b/c I think I want a forward assist. Other...

Anybody use one of these? I am assembling the parts for a DPMS pattern precision 308. I like iron ridge, but I want a forward assist. http://www.jdmachinetech.com/ Other options for stripped uppers? BTW-going w/ Rock Creek barrel, DPMS barrel ext, JP hand guard, JP BCG, JP adj gas block.

Does anyone know if a POF piston system would work with a DPMS type upper? In other words, does a POF stripped upper have the same specs as a DPMS stripped upper? I am interested in the 308, not the 223. I really like the piston set up on the POF, but not the rail. I would rather have a rail...

At the range today w/ my P-308 and it was shooting somewhat erratically. I thought is was me until I got home and pulled it out of the case and things seemed a little too loose. I quickly realized that the rail had become loose. The POF rail is not part of the receiver, so when it is loose...

LL's thread about back up optics made think about this system. I tried asking about it in that thread, but I think that there were some distractions. The idea is that you have a mount on the gun and then mounts on each optic that simply snap in to the gun's mount. One could have a single gun...

Anybody have experience with these or any of the Vortex viper binos?

I know this isn't the right place for this, but I figure that more people will see it here. I'm thinking about going to the orientation next weekend- should I do it? It seems like there are a lot of somewhat unnecessary regs- no class 3 weapons, no .338lm or larger calibers, etc. Also, it...

I am having a smith assemble a barrel for my DTA. It is going to be a 308 with a 1 in 11 or 1 in 10 twist and 20" long. The only barrel that I would consider that I can get now is a Rock Creek. Everything else is months out. (Kreiger, Bartlin, Broughton) Opinions please on the Rock Creek...

Can this be done? I hear about people getting their rem 700 actions blueprinted and trued. Can a smith do the same thing to an AR-10 or AR-15? Would it make a difference?

Anybody shoot one of these? How accurate are they? Any reliability issues? thx

What do you guys think of these? I have one of the JP enterprise pins on the way. My POF has a little more slop between the upper and lower than I want. BTW- Does the iron ridge lower have one of those tensioning screws like some ar15 lowers have? thx
