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.

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...

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...

with handloading and different, maybe just more, powder is it possible to get the same velocity from a 24" gun in an 18" gun? if that's a bit tough, is it easier to do in a 20? shooting buddy has a REPR with an 18" barrel and im debating rebarreling my 30-06 into an 18" .308. I like the...

im trying to get my build parts together and read something the other day that spoke about slower twists for better accuracy and mentioned using a 1:11 twist for 190s. has anyone else worked with this combo before? im planning to build a m24 contour 30-06. I am used to shooting 168gr smks...

I have been scrolling through a few photo threads in the photo forum and cant see any of the pics. do I not have authorization for this? I can see them when posted in other threads...

Can you guys who run dual optics, Like a scope and a red-dot in an offset mount, please post pics? I have been debating a 2.5-10x scope with a red dot offset like some run for 3 gun matches. I just haven't been able to find very many good pics.

I am in the early planning phase of my rifle build and had a few questions. I initially questioned CM barrels vs SS barrels and was given some good advice in support of SS barrels on another forum. That said, I was planning on cerakoting either way but now I have been reading up on meloniting...

I have heard that 30-06 can do 90% of what a 300WM will do without the extra muzzle blast, recoil, and with a longer barrel life. If I load my 30-06 to a 300WM level, like a 190gr at 2900fps, which I believe is the FGGM 300WM load and it has been done in 30-06 with RL22, would this not have...

I currently have a R700 30-06 ADL rifle and am looking at at replacement stock that is a BDL version. my rifle is an older version with the old Remington trigger, pre-xmark. the internal mag box is a spring steel box that screws to the bottom side of the receiver with a small screw and has a...

I am planning a future build of my newly acquired r700 30-06. I plan on running a 24" or 26" barrel and maxing it out for distance as I can gain access to longer ranges. primary use will be targets with the occasional deer hunt. with distance shooting in mind, I saw a Badger Ord. 30moa base and...

I was planning on building a super heavy long range gun but have been rethinking it lately as I would like to use the build as a hunting rifle as well. now im not one to complain about humping a 12lb rifle around as I've done it for years with the military but im starting to debate lighter guns...

I am really wanting to build a Remington 700 in 30-06 and have read more about a resurgence of popularity amongst some, maybe im just researching more :) I am just somewhat hesitant about selling the 308 I have now but couldn't afford to keep both right now and would like to get rid of the...

is there a difference between the 175gr SMK and the 178gr A-max as far as reloading and pressure issues? i have a R700 5R Mil-Spec and am wanting to load the 178gr a-max. i am hoping to get similar accuracy as the m118lr. anyone else use these bullets? with reloader 15?
