I’ll take the ARC m10 34-24 rings

This appears to be correct, they finally charged my card for the $881 Bravo Solus. Now I feel like I need to spend some more money with Aero for the good deed they have done.

Smoking deal on the complete Solus Bravo rifle right now, I almost thing they may have messed up their pricing… I took the plunge, we’ll see if it works out.

I think the Stiller Tac-30 is an excellent value for what you get. If you were to take a Rem 700 action, and add a good base, 8-40 base screws, truing, pinned lug, tactical bolt knob and fluted bolt, you've spent just as much as if you had bought a Stiller in the first place.

My main gripe about today's new 700's is they all seem to have a really long throat. With a 175smk, my AAC needed 2.940 to touch the lands, and my 5r needed 2.955" to touch the lands. Granted the smk will jump very well loaded at shorter lengths, i was just using that as a reference. Quality...

I assure you, this was not a trick question. Builders 1 and 2 are both well reviewed on this site. What i posted above is what they suggested, though they both said theyd do whatever i wanted. Their suggestions struck me as odd, which is why i wanted the hide's input.

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally gotten some parts together for a 6.5 Creedmoor build. Stiller Tac-30, Bartlein Heavy Varmint 6.5 1 in 8 barrel, Timney 510U, and Manners T4A mini chassis stock. I've emailed 3 different builders for quotes and lead times, and the rifle will be...

For a solid scope under $500, you can take a look at the SWFA SS fixed power scopes. In the $500-$1000 range, Vortex PST and Bushnell Elite have excellent options. For rings and bases don't go cheap, because if you do, you'll want to upgrade in the future. Badger or Seekins rings and bases...

Another thing to note with your HS, my unbedded HS shot much better torqued to 42 in/lbs front and rear than it did torqued to 65 in/lbs. Just something you could try.

I just switched from an HS to a t4a mini chassis. True, the mini-chassis doesn't have to be bedded, but there are those who bed them to get every bit of accuracy possible. If you are happy with the feel of the HS, A bedded HS should have as much or more of an accuracy advantage vs. the...

sell the X-mark trigger for $40, order you a Timney 510 pre-set from Timney at 2lbs, and enjoy your new rifle.

the 36" will be plenty for a 20" barrel. I went with a 40, and that's overkill on my 20" barrel. Keep in mind if you have a longer barreled rifle in the future, you may be better off getting the 40".

AAC-SD in Bell & Carlson M40, Vortex viper PST 6-24. Group pic is from the "1 MOA all day" challenge on ar15.com. ETA: Scope adjustment was made after shooting top-right and center targets.

I'm with 19Scout, you need a new scale. Dillon's 'Eliminator' Scale: Powder Scales

My AAC-SD shot consistently in the .6" range at 100 yards, in an aluminum bedded B&C stock with hand loads. Also loved Federal Gold Medal 175g.

IMO Remington vs. Savage is a Ford vs. Chevy debate. If you plan to go suppressed, take a look at the Remington 700 AAC-SD or the Savage Hog Hunter. Both come with threaded barrels, but you will need to replace the stocks with something more solid like a Bell & Carlson or HS Precision. The...

I'll shoot anytime the range is open. I actually prefer to go when the weather is the crappiest, so it'll be less crowded. Supposed to be 7 degrees F tomorrow, and we've received 3 inches of snow today. I'll be at the range tomorrow within an hour of the UPS man dropping off my t4a.

My AAC SD was dirty straight out of the box. I cant imagine their accuracy standards are very tight since they dont offer an MOA guarantee. Im willing to bet if it functions and shoots sub 2moa, they send it on. Fwiw, my AAC in a B&C stock shot in the .6's average using handloads with Varget...

It's odd that they didn't contact you. I ordered a certain 20moa base from swfa, and they called to let me know that it was on backorder, and they were willing to upgrade me to a better more expensive base for free.

A guy on Longrangehunting measured 5 different AI mags and came up with an average of 2.888, which should be longer than your factory internal mag. My internal mag on my 5R measures 2.840 with calipers.
