    how accurate can a 7.62 gasser get

    1/2" in my rra lar 8- stock off the shelf set up with hand loads, five shot groups. Same thing with a 6.5 Creedmoor build I did. That's my goal in load development, I stop experimenting once I get that accuracy. That being said, load development for gassers can make you pull your hair out at...

    Anyone use Aero M5E1 Builder Set?

    For what it's worth, the receiver and lower have little to do with the overall accuracy of the weapon system. Aero, mega, whatever you choose. In my opinion, I feel the trigger group and barrel are some of the more critical areas to focus your attention on as far as cost/accuracy. Second to...

    Anyone use Aero M5E1 Builder Set?

    I built one in 6.5 Creedmoor, ba Hanson 22" barrel, rca hp bcg, Gisselle trigger. Top notch component group in theory. Load development was a bitch, by far the most finicky rifle I've ever dealt with. My stock rock river arms .308 was easy- 1/4 Moa five shot groups with a few loads, so I'm not...

    Rifle Scopes Practical zero range

    I've done what I assume most people do when they zero their scopes. I set them all up for a 100 yard zero. Whether it's a muzzle loader for hunting, or one of my 6.5 tactical long range rigs - 100 yard zero is what I consistently do. That got me thinking, why do I do it on my varmint/steel...

    Detachable Box Mags Question

    I am looking at a new short action Savage build and have some questions concerning DBM's. I'm looking at possibly going with CDI for the bottom metal because they have a good reputation and they can do the stock inletting as well. The fit/functionality of CDI is supposed to be top notch, however...

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    I want a 338 Lapua for sure due to the impressive terminal performance at range. I just want to know my options for converting it to a more practical caliber for the rest of my <1K shooting.

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    I've heard of people using some sort of spacer in the longer mags. That may be a solution to any feeding issues. I'll have to explore that further. I don't know if this would make it possible to go from 338 Lapua to .260 rem. I've read that it would theoretically work, I would just have a wicked...

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    I am considering buying a savage 110 fcp chambered in 338 Lapua. I like the savage action for it's convenience in switching out spent barrels or changing calibers. Before I commit to buying this rifle, I have been looking at my options for switching to other calibers and I have some concerns...

    Rifle Scopes opticsplanet.com

    Myself and two other people I know have been burned by Optics Planet. They will show the item's status as "in-stock", when actually it is not. I would wait patiently for weeks, call them and get a reply that the items will be sent in a couple of weeks. They strung me along for literally months...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Is stainless media tumbling hard on your brass? I'm ready to jump into the stainless media method of brass cleaning. My only concern is how bad does it beat up your brass? I've heard one criticism to stainless tumbling is that it tends to damage the case mouths. One guy said that he has seen...

    redding seating mic.

    I am interested in upgrading my standard Redding seating dies with a mic gauge seating die assembly. Redding makes two styles. One is for "standard" bullets and the other is for VLD style bullets. I read that some bullets, even though they are not listed as "vld" bullets, are long enough to have...

    Range Report smk's 175g. or 180g.- am I missing something?

    Re: smk's 175g. or 180g.- am I missing something? Thanks for the info. I found similar velocities and Max load pressures out of my Rra lar 8.

    Range Report smk's 175g. or 180g.- am I missing something?

    I'm having a really hard time finding .308 175g. SMK's locally, and every place I look on the web is on backorder. I was looking at the 180 grain SMK. From what I can tell, the b.c.'s are the same, if not, very close. Why are 175 grain SMK's so much more popular than the 180 grain pills? I...

    Gunsmithing rra lar-8 trigger upgrade?

    Re: rra lar-8 trigger upgrade? I was looking at either the geissele ssa or the lighter ssa-e. Is the enhanced version going to be too sensitive? My only frame of reference is with single stage timney triggers on my bolt guns.

    Gunsmithing rra lar-8 trigger upgrade?

    Recently I bought a RRA LAR-8 Predator expecting it to have a nice, light two- stage trigger. The pull weight on my trigger is 5 lbs./10 oz. I would like a lighter pull - for me this is fairly heavy. Should I try a cheap-o JP Enterprises light spring kit and polish up the trigger? The next...

    Rock River Arms

    Re: Rock River Arms I just got a rra predator lar-8. It took about ten months of waiting. It was weird because the weapon got to the shop the day before that a-hole shot up the school . I'll bet the lead times are now even more outrageous. For what it's worth, I'm glad I waited. I've been...
