    Official Accuracy International AT First Look

    The AT sounds like a nice generational leap over the AE. I was all set to buy a discounted AE until I saw this thread. I'm curious to see what real difference there is between the new Pale Brown over the outgoing FDE. Not likely a dramatic change, to be sure. Pre-fit aftermarket barrels sound...

    Howa 1500 target master

    Re: Howa 1500 target master I agree. If the rifle itself suits your needs then by all means purchase it. The Howa action suffers from "N.I.H. (Not Invented Here) Syndrome". Meaning, it would be considerably more popular if built in the US and not Japan. They're very good quality and they're...

    HOWAbout a HOWA 1500 thread...

    Re: HOWAbout a HOWA 1500 thread... Thanks to guys on this site such as AKA-Spook, I decided to give the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard rifles a try. I've got (3) of them now. I took the green Hogue stock off my Howa .223 Varmint and put it on my .300 Blackout barrelled Vanguard. I'm...

    Thoughts on a 300 Blackout bolt gun

    Re: Thoughts on a 300 Blackout bolt gun Frank, thanks for weighing in on the discussion. I agree, the Blackout is a very versatile cartridge within the range of its capabilities. It was never meant to compete with or replace the .308 Win. The Remington .223 Rem bolts can be problematic as...

    Thoughts on a 300 Blackout bolt gun

    Re: Thoughts on a 300 Blackout bolt gun Apparently, Remington is now starting to deliver its SPS Tacticals in .300 Blackout. It might be the best option as opposed to a custom build. It's got a 16.5" 1:7" twist barrel so it should be G2G. If I were to have done it over again, I wouldn't go...

    Thoughts on a 300 Blackout bolt gun

    Re: Thoughts on a 300 Blackout bolt gun No one would argue that the .308 Win. is far more powerful than the .300 Blackout and certainly as flexible. That doesn't mean that the Blackout is a poor choice. One of the Blackout's advantages over the .308 Win. in a bolt gun is the same as it is in...

    6.8 or 300 blackout

    Re: 6.8 or 300 blackout Does anyone else here find it somewhat ironic that the 6.8SPC fans here make their argument soley on the merit of one company that makes non-standard ammo that simply can't be used in all firearms chambered for the 6.8 SPC, yet Silvers is accused of basing his...

    Savage MKII FV-SR questions..

    Re: Savage MKII FV-SR questions.. My brand new FV-SR isn't accurate at all. Best (10) shot 50 yds. groups so far have been around 2" with CCI Mini-Mags or CCI Stingers. Eveything else is 4"-5" groups with several brands of Winchester being measured in feet! Yes, you read it right. I'm...

    Savage walks away from the 300blk

    Re: Savage walks away from the 300blk I had the day off so it was a great day to hit the range. Took my 700 chambered in .300 BLK with (15) rounds of ammo along for the ride. Here's the (3) consecutive 5-shot groups I took with it today. According to Savage, I shouldn't have been able to...

    Savage walks away from the 300blk

    Re: Savage walks away from the 300blk Ironic, you would only see the versatility of a cartridge based on a platform that your nanny state prohibits you from owning in a severely neutered form. Owning an AR in California in .300 Blackout? Now THAT would be a waste of the Blackout's potential...
