    Anyone have experience with Rigid Alloy - specifically for the Savage Mkii?

    I slept on the MDT Black friday/blem sale and now thinking I'll go the Rigid Alloy route on their next sale. Does anyone have experience with their chassis for the Mkii? (not the one made for CZ). Their website is lacking so if anyone cares to send any info they have on theirs, that'd be...

    Rifle Scopes Can't decide between Athlon Talos BTR 4-14 APLR2 or Vortex Diomondback Tactical 4-16 with EBR-2C

    I spoke to Doug at Cameraland and he was helpful and offered a great price on the Talos BTR 4-14. I came home tonight and was looking around at the forums on the Talos and came across the new Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16 FFP. They seem similar and the price is essentially a wash (plus, I...

    XLR Element owners - anyone interested in a "mid-length" swiss-arca rail? question inside.

    Main question - Are there any other Element owners that want a swiss-arca section but not the entire length of the forend? background - My issue is that I've already got a pic rail at the forend for my bipod. I have the ADM q/r for my bipod and the bipod is shared between my Element and my gas...

    Suppressors First shots with 30BA - thoughts and a question

    First off, this is my first time shooting suppressed. I was shooting .308 hornady 168gr bthp and was about .75 moa at 100 yards. Put the can on and was shooting about 1 mil high. The groups also opened up a bit. My questions - is a mil high about normal? For some reason I expected to shoot low...

    Suppressors Any benefit to a dedicated 223 suppressor for AR?

    I'm already waiting on a 30BA and went ahead and had the brakes put on both my bolt 308 and 223 AR build. I was thinking though that i *might want to go ahead and get another can before the *possible new trust changes. I'd still want something that attaches via brake. Considering...

    CHEAP way to do victor co's "grippy bands"

    I grew up working in bike shops and have all sorts of bike inner tubes laying around. I cut a few chunks off of one and used it to hold the pressure switch on my forward grip. It also added a bit of a "sticky" grip to the otherwise smooth plastic of the MOE grip. I figured it was just a rigged...

    Any reloaders make their own practice rounds (dummy ammo)?

    I saw in another thread that someone mentioned that they make their own dummy rounds while reloading. Wanted to see if anyone here would be willing to make/send/sell me 5 or so. I've got a 700 AAC in .308. Just looking for something that I can use while at home to practice the basics. I...

    Question for Mcrees users

    I've got the folding g5 and am pretty happy with it but was looking to trim some weight. I've read that swapping to a lighter buttstock would help. My question is - do I need an adapter of some sort that allows the ability to attach an ar style butt stock to the folding mechanism that's on the...

    Suppressors Cheaper alternative to TBAC's thread protectors?

    I've got a 30BA on order and have the brakes waiting to be put on two rifles. I've read around that it's a good idea to put the thread protectors on them when shooting w/o the can to keep the threads clean, etc. Im wondering if there's a cheaper alternative? I can't wait to get the can and...

    Stock options + dbm or go with XLR, / advice?

    Im having a tough time making up my mind on what stock to go with. I finally narrowed it down to a McMillan A3 style but then started reading posts about going with an XLR (have much more experience with AR’s so this option interests me) because of price of adding a DMB to the McMillan. I’d love...

    Suppressors TBAC owners - ? for you

    After some serious research/reading, I've decided on going with the TBAC 30BA but had one question. This can will be swapped between a precision AR and a 700 .308. Because this can is essentially a thread-on can, does it need to be timed? (forgive the ignorance, it'll be my first can). From the...

    Suppressors Question for current owners - regrets?

    I am in the process of researching the best can for my needs/my budget and I started thinking - does anyone have any regrets? Did you buy one and wished you went with another (not nec. brand but style, qd-vs-thread, etc). Do you wish you did more research, spent less, spent more? I am not really...

    Range Report two different calibers - one zero ?

    I have my scope (on AR) zeroed for a .223 Nosler 60gr at 50 yards. - I am going to place this scope and mount on a Remington 700 - .308 and shoot this weekend. I've searched around without any luck trying to find a ballistic program that would allow me to enter in the AR zero/round info and then...
