    BUIS question.

    I am looking at backup irons for my MWS, and am in a bit of a quandary. Is there a good elevation-adjustable/BDC folding BUIS for the 7.62? I assume the KAC 600m works for the 7.62? I am also wondering if the folding irons are precise enough to even worry about shooting 600m, or if I should...

    Powders for 16" .308?

    I am in the process of starting to load for my LMT MWS, and will be loading both 178gr. AMax's and 150gr. BT's, as I have a ton of these. Have heard less than stellar reviews of 150gr. performance in this rifle, but might as well try some, anyway. My interest in powder choices is in trying to...

    Any body use a Phantom .308 Comp/Flash Suppressor?

    I am looking into options for the flash suppressor on my MWS, and saw this. I am interested more in the flash suppression than the recoil damping, but less recoil never hurts, either, and I was wondering if anybody else was using one of these. The two reviews I could find said it did a great job...

    Odd thread adapter?

    If a guy wants to put a thread-on 1/2x28 can on a 5/8x24 barrel, is there someone making a thread adapter for that? I have a buddy looking for one, and all we have found are adapters to put a 5/8x24 can on a 1/2x28 barrel. He has a thread-on can that he uses on AR's, .22's, and 9mm. It is...

    Anybody using an extra heavy buffer?

    I am in the process of setting up to install the UBR stock on my LMT MWS. In looking at the shorter buffer necessary for the swap over at heavybuffers.com, I noticed that Clint also markets an even heavier buffer than the standard 5.6 oz. model, stating that it is for suppressed weapons and...

    Expected service life of Magpul LR-20?

    This may seem like a dumb question, but I need to know, as I am in the process of deciding on a supplier for magazines for my MWS. Having never used Magpul products before, I am wondering about the longevity of their magazines' serviceable life. Having never used a plastic mag with good results...

    Rifle Scopes Some observations, NF vs. SS

    I recently picked up a NF 2.5-10x24 for my LMT MWS, thinking it would be a top choice for an all-around scope on that rifle. I already had a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on a FN FAL, and it is a very good scope, as well. Between the two, I see very little if any difference in glass quality. This is of...

    Night Vision Height of TM14 PVS-14 mount?

    Does anyone know the height(to optical centerline) of the TM14 PVS-14 mount by TNVC? I am trying to figure out what mounting system to buy for compatability with it, since that is the PVS-14 mount I am going to use.

    Rifle Scopes Larue or Nightforce Uni-mount?

    I am in the process of mounting a Nightforce 2.5-10x24 on my LMT MWS. I hear all the rave reviews on the Larue QR mounts, but also have heard they sometimes mar the reciever finish. I have read good reviews of the Nightforce Uni-mount, which state that they do not mar the reciever, and are just...

    Rifle Scopes NV-capable variable for LMT MWS?

    I have an LMT MWS. I also have a PVS-14. So, in glassing this beast, I want to use a low-to-mid power variable optic, but it needs to have a NV-compatible illuminated reticle. What are my options? Of course a ranging/BDC reticle, locking/capped target knobs, great glass, bombproof construction...

    Rifle Scopes Question on optic setup for .308 AR.

    I am in the process of setting a LMT MWS up with optics. My first thought is to use a NF 2.5-10x32, with a piggybacked Trijicon mini red dot for up close. I will be using the gun for shooting steel out to 800m, hunting(15-400m), and possibly doing some tactical rifle courses with it in the...

    Barrel profile for FN SPR build w/NVD Capability?

    Guys, I am building a rifle on an FN SPR action with the NEAR base. What I am trying to figure out is the best way to end up with the ability to mount my PVS-14 in front of the day optic I will be using. Have read somewhere that barrel profile can be a factor. Also interested in seeing how...

    Questions on new build.

    I just bought an FN SPR action with the intention of building a nice all-around rifle on it. Probably going to go with .308 for a caliber choice, since I am awash in ammo and components for that already. Since the gun will be used for hunting(up to black bear, down to coyotes) and target...

    Questions about new build.

    Guys, I am considering a new rifle. Looking at a .300WM for a 1200yd. gun, using an FN-built Model 70 action, a McMillan A5, and a Rock barrel. Is Rock Creek the best choice for this application, or can I do better? Are there better(smaller) calibers for the 1200yd. game? Any reason why not...

    Suppressors Tactical Solutions Paclite for Ruger 22/45?

    I am looking at puttting a Tactical Solutions barrel on my Ruger 22/45 to make a lightweight pothunting gun. Anybody had one for any length of time, can school me on the accuracy potential, durability of the system? I read a lot of good things, but looking for firsthand info.

    Opinions of Ruger 77 action?

    Guys, I am looking at building a lightweight tack driver, and have been looking for the best options available. I plan at this point to use a Rock 5R/ABS carbon wrap barrel, a McMillan stock, and possibly a Ruger 77 action. Reasoning for the Ruger? I like the CRF, and the Mauser type extractor...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 1500m rifle?

    I am looking to put together a rig to shoot 1000-1500m, and would like to get some input on a scope setup for it. I am interested in a mil-dot reticle, preferably with illumination, target turrets(obviously), and the best glass I can get- all for $2,000 or less. This price needs to include rings...

Here are the criteria, and I would appreciate you guys' input. <span style="font-weight: bold">Caliber:</span> Must be a standard factory load for ammo availability. No wildcats...
