    12.5" ar10?

    I have read a lot of threads that end up saying that you lose so much power that you may as well shoot a 30-30 or whatever. Doing the math proves otherwise and I like the more compact size of the short barrel. I was more hoping for a user feedback type of thread about the realities of muzzle...

    12.5" ar10?

    Has anyone here dealt with a sbr'd 308? I have an itch to build a 12.5" ar10... I know the ballistics are not up to the full power of the round but doing the math based on a 2250 fps found on another forum it still trumps the typical assault rifle calibers at just shy of 2k ft lbs.

    the do everything rifle on a budget opinions wanted

    Depending on budget, my idea of a general purpose do everything g rifle is an 18" semi auto 308. Platform depends on what you prefer but mine will be a m14 platform. I currently have a 1982 all usgi sai rifle but am seriously debating a m14 scout from 762mmfirearms.com with a 1-6x ffp from...

    Best Trajectory from 18" barrel?

    I would look into the short magnums. 7 mm rsaum? Just take some muffs as it will be stupid loud from a short barrel

    New Shorty Precision Rifle Build Project...Help me spec out the build

    I would also say manners with the lightweight fill. 2.5-10x42 nightforce would be my choice. Maybe the x32 for more compact size and maybe weight...

    Hello from Tennessee

    Glad to see more middle tennesseans. I live in galla ton and just got to shoot my m14 in an indoor 25 yard range today... interesting times. Can you shoot 50s at strategic edge?

    Rifle Scopes mk4 3.5-10x40 vs pst 2.5-10x32

    My primary concern is getting a 40mm or less objective to keep it decently low. Th is will be on a flat vltor rail on a m14 so I would like to keep it low. I guess I don't need the ffp but it is a preference. I may also consider something up to a 4x on the low end as long as it's compact and...

    Rifle Scopes mk4 3.5-10x40 vs pst 2.5-10x32

    Just found out the mk4 is available in ffp as well so between the two which would you guys prefer? This will be going on a m21-ish build with a vltor rail so I would like to keep this fairly compact for the flat rail and in the same magnification range with ffp if there is anything else I...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope under $650 for me?

    I would th ink about the swfa ss 3-9x. It's ffp and fully adjustable. 9x may be stretching precision at 1k but I'm sure you can make good combat hits at 1k with it. Add 50 to your budget and I would consider the 3-15x ffp. The vortex hs-t line seems to be a good budget scope from reviews but...

    "Mexican" match ammo????

    Not quite match ammo but I've pulled sa battle pack bullets and replaced with nbt for hunting season. They were slightly more accurate. All I did was neck size and reseat the new bullets.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Recommendations for Glock sights?

    I use ameriglo hackathorns on my idpa/carry gun. I prefer the plain rear as it makes it faster not trying to visually line multiple dots or lines up for me. The front is tritium with an iridescent orange paint around it which is almost red dot bright in the sunlight. They are fairly cheap too at...

    Reasons for you taking bolt-action over semi-auto?

    I too go back and forth over the years. I like my m14 rifle and it's accurate enough but my bolt gun is more accurate more often. I know the m14 is no ar10 but I haven't been around an ar10 yet that was reliable enough for me to be comfortable with.

    Help quick which rifle!?

    I would go with the remington and put it in a 700p or 5r takeoff stock in letter for a ptg bottom metal. Budget worthy awesomeness. The remington will have better support for extras down the road. The aac sd is a great start. It's one of my favorite bolt actions. I would still have it if not for...

    My new build

    First off I don't have any pics now as the lighting in my office sucks and it's raining outside but pics will be added soon. dpkdavis built this for me. I gave him a Remington 700 adl in 30-06 and he built it into a varmint contour 308 on the long action. It's an older rifle with the old...

    Same buddy stippled a set of mag pul 1911 grips too and they look good.

    Stippling

    Here are a couple glocks a buddy did for me. I also did the rip area on a mossberg 500 stock but it didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Think it was more because of the difference in the polymers.

    Rifle Scopes Need some help ACOG, or 1X4???

    I will defintely go low power variable. Even with a cheap millett dms I could tell the difference over an acog. I could shoot both eyes open with the illumination at full bright at 1x and had good accuracy at 400 yards. That was my intro to low power variables. My next one will be the swfa...

    Rifle Scopes First vs second focal plane

    Don't forget leads on moving targets as well. Those too are only good on the certain power for sfp scopes too. Ffp can be lead accurately at any power in a ffp scope.

    Remington 700 bottom metal delima

    How does the 10 round length compare to a 20 round m14 mag? I shoot an m14 and am building a long action 308. Might eve tally go with a dm setup for that too...

    Remington 700 bottom metal delima

    Ptg makes some affordable options. Problem will be making it worthwhile. 10 round 300 wm magazines are not as easy to come by when I'm looking. That said I think most of the Ai style mags will need to be inletted. Not a huge ordeal. The other thing I would consider is the length of your...
