    AICS or AX stocks

    Re: AICS or AX stocks I think you also have to considcer what you are comparing the AICS to. I have no regrets on buying my AICS. I had a McMillan A2 and the grip area for me did not have the control I prefer (way fat). I also wanted adjustable cheek and LOP. I will say I also have an...

    Re: best value in all around aftermarket ar15 trigger Now new information. I have put Geissele's in more than one of my guns. But on a budget I agree with Bill Springfield option. Very reasonable, great service. JB

    Re: 300 ultra mag I bought a barreled action done by APA here on the hide, 300RUM, Mike Rock fluted barrel, APA brake, APA reworked Remington action. Put it in a HS stock. Both Nosler and Remington brass shoot 1/2 MOA (and a cheap Simmons WTC scope, soon to be replaced)with H1000 and...

    Rifle Scopes Micro T-1 on my .45-70 Guide Gun

    Re: Micro T-1 on my .45-70 Guide Gun What a great application for the T1. I replaced a CQT on my AR with one and my longer range groups improved. Such a totally different concept, I love having the field of view around the optic, it's almost like it just appears and with a dot big enough to...

    Rifle Scopes Rifle optics on a XP-100.

    Re: Rifle optics on a XP-100. Just go with the Burris 3-12x LER. All the eye relief you ever wanted and for most more power than you can hold still even off a good rest. I know some guys use more power, but you might want to try 12x before you decide more is better. I also have a...

    Rifle Scopes I wonder why the Leupold CQ/T is not more popular?

    Re: I wonder why the Leupold CQ/T is not more popular? The thing that changed my mind after living with one for 3 years was that at 3x the dot was so big I couldn't take advantage of magnification for precision anyway. I shoot better groups now at 100 yards with my Aimpoint T1. Plus what...

    Rifle Scopes Mil Dot vs. Tactical Milling Reticle

    Re: Mil Dot vs. Tactical Milling Reticle A buddy of mine bought a Leupold with TMR recently. maybe it was just me, but it looked like the crosshairs don't meet in the middle. Call me old fashioned, but that is typcially where my focus locks. I can't imagine trying to hold off like that. I...

    Rifle Scopes Is 20x fixed too much?

    I think the new Sightron SIII fixed scope is going to be the next scope for my 300 RUM build. From Sightron's reputation and the specs it sounds like a SS with better coatings. What I am looking for is opinions on if a fixed 20x will cause too much mirage blurriness on year round shooting, and...

    How is the DPMS LR-308L?

    Re: How is the DPMS LR-308L? I've got an 18" LR308. I had mag issues with originals as well, but DPMS switched them for me. I also use C products with no issues. But I find once chamber starts to get dirty, I might as well just stop until I can clean it. I did put a Geiselle trigger in...

    How much neck tension on a Magnum?

    I have been reloading 308 & smaller for a long time, but I just got a 300 RUM. I have a Redding full length bushing die and a Lee Factory Crimp die. I know I can experiment but would like to save time and find out what others use for neck tension in big magnums. In my 308 I find that...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed 16x or 20x in SS

    I just arranged to buy a 300 RUM from a forum member. Can't afford great glass now. In looking < $450 range, I have decided on a fixed Super Sniper (durability, eye relief, elevation range). This gun will primarily be used to shoot at a 1000 yard range near me in IN. I have seen comments...

    AR10 reloading

    Re: AR10 reloading I have an 18" DPMS with under 100 roudns through it. My original handloiads of a 150 gr Hornady FMJ over enough TAC to run them at 2700-2800 FPS resulted in more of a pattern at 100 yards than a group. FGMM 168's I could coax into 2". I had just a few loads using M118...
