    Would I be missing anything by skipping the bolt and going straight to semi for LR?

    You're never going to shoot a human at 1200 yards...unless some ridiculous Red Dawn shit is going on...and even then I doubt it... Here's a general rule of thumb (and like all rules, there are exceptions). AR's are battle/sporting/fun rifles. They're for dumping a lot of lead really...

    Headshots Vs Centre Mass

    The reasoning is simple. Higher hit probability given the factors of: physical and mental exhaustion, distracting environmental effects (not just wind and shit but bullets flying your way), not always being able to have a good shooting position/stance (body armor is a fking bitch at times...)...

    Optics base for Weatherby Vanguard Series II .308

    Hey everyone, been absent for a long time and a lot has happened but now I'm back and I need some input. My wife picked out a Weatherby Vanguard Series II .308 (the one with the Kryptek Highlander camo...she has such good taste!), and I'm investigating the best way to mount a scope (more than...

    Considering joining Marines to be USMC Sniper. Please Read

    An admirable goal, but an exceedingly challenging one to achieve. Don't let that dissuade you though. Now there are no Scout Sniper contracts, the route to take would be to contract into an 03xx MOS (0311 Rifleman, 0321 Reconnaissance Man, etc). You will attend Recruit Training then the School...

    LaRue now making their own barrels

    Never owned a LaRue but I've handled a couple. Definitely Tier 1 products that deliver outstanding results but if they're gonna screw (and I mean SCREW) their customers (some of whom cannot afford to wait while Marky Mark dicks around with some new shit) out of their money and force them to wait...

    who makes a good piston driven SBR 14" or less

    Wait for LWRC varies depending on who you're getting them from. Shop around, be patient, and have about $2500 ready to drop in an instant. $2,500 is a fair price to pay for what is, IMHO, pretty much the most reliable and accurate combat (not competition) AR on the market. Barrels are rated for...

    Modifying an ACH helmet...

    Better idea...don't cut the dang thing at all and use Surefire Defender ear plugs...if shooting M240's and M2's is pleasurable with them on then I can't imagine anything you'll be doing will exceed that. Use the Peltors w/out the helmet and maybe later on down the road once you're stable again...

    Is there a good workout regimen for people without access to gym equipment?

    You can get dang strong and gain high endurance doing strictly body weight exercises. I've been a Marine grunt coming up on 6 years now and the best workouts are the ones outside the gym in my experience. Weight lifting is great for putting on mass and certain directional muscle strength but in...

    AR-10 barrel

    Mmk, I found that group data searching here on the hide actually. The guy's best group was just a hair under .5 but he was averaging around .7. And 1 moa aint too bad. That being that, I think I'll go with the Lija cause they have rxactly what I want in stock. Oh and their 20" AR10740 .308...

    AR-10 barrel

    Gotcha, good stuff to know! thanks! Looks like BHW barrels are capable of .5 moa with average groups being .7ish moa from what ive found so far. That being said Lija has 20" barrels in stock now for $465...is the $130 price difference worth it???

    AR-10 barrel

    Lead time for the BHW barrels is 10-12 weeks which I dont mind. Theyre set up for DPMS which leads to my next question: how do the DPMS BCGs compare to the Armalite ones in terms of durability, reliabilty, and overall quality?

    AR-10 barrel

    Just checked rainier and noveske, no .308 options. Black Hole Weaponry has a 20" 1-11 heavy bull barrel for $329 that looks good (and if i forked over more money they'd flute it too but then it would be as much as a Krieger). I've heard good things about their barrels over on CalGuns.net but...

    AR-10 barrel

    Gonna start building an AR-10 here in the next few weeks and I've got everything picked out except for my barrel...I was going to place an order with Krieger but I dont want to wait 8-12 months on it lol! What are some other options i have? Im looking for something that I can push out to 1k and...

    Desert boot recommendations

    If you're willing to spend a lot of time breaking them in and don't mind a heavier boot I recommend the USMC Danners hot weather boots. Yeah they're heavy but after a few months of break-in (yup long time lol!) they're comfy as fuck. Done 20 mile hikes and kinetic patrols in them and they've...

    Getting Started Out

    the RRA is the LPK and trigger so it's a better deal IMO...My dad has the Giselle SSA on his AR and I do agree that it is very, very nice...perhaps down the road lol. I just want to get something set up now so I can shoot.
