    Wants to buy a .308 semi auto battle rifle

    Re: Wants to buy a .308 semi auto battle rifle I agree about the guarantee but just correcting the OP. If either of these guns could not shoot .5 MOA with the right ammo then I'd be disappointed.

    Wants to buy a .308 semi auto battle rifle

    Re: Wants to buy a .308 semi auto battle rifle I believe their accuracy guarantee is 3/4 MOA for the GAP-10 - 3/8 is their custom bolt-action rifles. Please keep in mind that all AR type rifle no matter who you buy it from is a parts gun, with the parts made by a variety of companies. This...

    16" 6.5 Grendel - Anyone using one?

    Re: 16" 6.5 Grendel - Anyone using one? That's a 14" handguard isn't it? It doesn't look like a 14.5" barrel to me...

    AR vs Shottie for Home Defense

    Re: AR vs Shottie for Home Defense AR, easily. A 12 GA can get the job done in 99% of circumstances, no doubt, but the AR has advantages. Capacity is much greater, well-aimed follow-up shots are fast and easy, much greater capability to engage multiple threats, weight and length make for...

    semi auto vs bolt action

    Re: semi auto vs bolt action PTR threading is 15x1 RH. The PWS HK muzzle brake is the way to go. I've had a PTR for a couple years and ultimately it is going to frustrate it you if you are wanting a precision rifle. That is not what it is, and few of them will reliably shoot below 2 MOA...

    Opinions on a 16 inch spr?

    Re: Opinions on a 16 inch spr? Tac 30 has a 4 MOA center dot which would really hold you back. Viper PST or SWFA SS 1-4x is the WTG; if you can't afford it maybe the Millet DMS. I also like the red dot with flip to side magnifier option. Eotech is the best red dot for this since the middle...

    Bill Springfield trigger jobs?

    Re: Bill Wilson trigger jobs? He tuned my PTR-91 trigger pack and it came out very nice. Very fast turnaround, I think it was about 10 days including round-trip mail.

    Gunsmithing Style of muzzle brake - does it matter?

    Re: Style of muzzle brake - does it matter? I think the larger diameter baffled designs have some advantages. A Holland brake was on a rifle I recently bought used and it is very very effective. May not be the look you want but on a 300 Wby I'd be looking for function over form.

    Re: Is this rifle a good buy? please give input DMann is right on all counts; I was in the market for used Savage recently and this is a pretty good deal you have if you like that caliber.

    .264 LBC or 6.5 Grendel

    Re: .264 LBC or 6.5 Grendel The name for the chamber only matters to lawyers. Pick the *barrel* you want, not the chamber you want. The AA barrels are Lothar Walther I believe; they are a bit more established than AR Stoner.

    Hydro dipping

    Re: Hydro dipping I really like the way the black rails and other metal accent the camo. That picture could really cost people some serious money.

    Once again...Savage listens!

    Re: Once again...Savage listens! So please educate me.I know why someone would use 300 BLK/Whisper in an AR considering its magwell but why in a bolt-action? Can you explain it?

    Just ordered RRA Elite Operator 2

    Re: Just ordered RRA Elite Operator 2 They've been running that deal for a long time but I agree its a pretty good value. Did they tell you how long you'll have to wait for it?

    designated rifleman upper in .300 BLK? Wilson Com?

    Re: designated rifleman upper in .300 BLK? Wilson Com? I think the only problems with the supersonic loads are the poor external ballistics. The short stubby bullet has a very poor BC and is slow relative to other cartridges with similar weight. For shooting within 200 yards its a great...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Re: LMT .308 MWS Casey it is generally the case that a Stainless barrel will be more precisely machined and thus more accurate than a chrome-lined barrel. Chrome lining significantly improves barrel life and most military fighting rifles are chrome lined, though precision rifles and sniper...

    Suppressors Will a short barrel stabilize heavy bullets well.

    Re: Will a short barrel stabilize heavy bullets well. Relevant parameters are velocity, twist rate and bullet length. The length of the barrel only matters in so far as it effects velocity. This calculator here is quite handy: http://kwk.us/twist.html
