    Need a Bipod for an M1A

    Re: Need a Bipod for an M1A If you have the synthetic stock Harris makes a sling stud that fits throught the weep hole in the front end of the stock ( may be on the wood, not sure). It is the #2R and takes a little bit to hollow out the stock a bit and trim the bolt to fit under the piston...

    Looking for compact binoculars with a reticle.

    This weekend my Steiners had an unfortunate accident. I was dumb enough to leave them on the roof of the truck and drove off. I would like to find a compact 8x30ish pair with the reticle that dosen't break the bank. Any other options out there? Before it is said yes, I have learned my lesson...

    20 inch 308 Twist?

    Re: 20 inch 308 Twist? Good info from everyone, thanks. I guess I just ended the debate- I stumbled into an AAC-SD 700. So 10 twist it will be. Now I have to go shopping...

    20 inch 308 Twist?

    Re: 20 inch 308 Twist? Great info and food for thought. Thanks to everybody. I'm not in a great hurry so I think I can pick up the newer AAC-SD when one appears. I hadn't thought about the VLD's nor was I thinking ahead.

    20 inch 308 Twist?

    Re: 20 inch 308 Twist? Thanks Okie, so many thongs in shooting are counter-intuitive. Heavy bullets go farther, short barrels may be more accurate, t keeps you looking for the next- "Aha got ya", moment.

    20 inch 308 Twist?

    Re: 20 inch 308 Twist? I had heard that the 1:12 out of a shorter barrel may not stabalize the heavier rounds. I was curious as to why. There seems to be a leaning toward the 1:10. I know the 1:12 has done yeomans work for years but with the shortere barrels becoming more popular thought I...

    Doublestar - WTF?

    Re: Doublestar - WTF? I have pieced together several AR's and over that time I have learened that with the exception of a few most are made in the same handful of places. Foundries are big and expensive. The fit and finish can very greatly. I have an Eagle Arms that runs great but had a...

    20 inch 308 Twist?

    Re: 20 inch 308 Twist? Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to get the AAC-SD. Just out of curiosity, what causes the problem with the slower twist/ shorter barrel?

    20 inch 308 Twist?

    Hi. I am a long time reader first time poster. I have been looking at the Rem 700 SPS-T and the new SPS-T AAC-SD. My question is- Does the 20 inch barrel affect the 1:12 using 175 grain SMKs. I have shot 175 out of 1:12 with pretty good results (the rifle more than me), but with a longer...
