    Ghillie design considerations help.

    I'm working one of my own, My focus is to put the netting on the back so I can be prone (front stuff will abrade easier), since you bow hunt, then go for the full 360. You'll be standing or at least kneeling to take your shots, so your front will face your target. The materials I'm using...

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build @Z Whetz: Thank you for the input, that's the kind of information that I was looking for by posting to Sniper's Hide. I know the Mosin isn't cuttin' edge sniper technology, but it's got a history, and x54R packs a good whallop. I don't know of anywhere...

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build @Z_Whetz: I spent 4 years in the Army shooting 5.56x45, and I own a 7.62x51 FAL, but I don't shoot long range. I recently bought a 7.62x54Rmm Mosin 1891/30 PU, but I haven't shot it yet. She's gonna be my build-up to harder-kicking calibers, and...

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build Razor: Thank you for pointing me to a one-stop build. Are AICS mags available in 10-rd? @Victory: I'm starting at the XM2010, and Improving it with superior or comparable components. I think .338 will escape a caliber ban, because it will go after...

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build Remington stole CADEX's design--from what I've been told. Didn't even acknowledge them as designers... I'd go CADEX or Drake for the Chassis (And I'll ask for Chris @Drake; Thank you!!). With the praise it's received, Bartlien for the bbl. Does the...

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build I've been recommended to check Bartlien, Broughton, Krieger, Hart & LiJia for barrels. Surgeon, McGowan & Shilen for Actions. And Drake Associates for a significantly cheaper Chassis. Thoughts on each company? The specs I got from Remington mostly apply...

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build Haven't seen the chassis up close, but how different can it be from handling an M4 with a rail system? I also like how the folding stock is adjustable in a million different directions. I'm aware that .338 Lapua Magnum is an atrocious 'starter caliber'...

    Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build

    Re: Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build I have all the specs written down, but all of the parts are Remington standard. Don't take this the wrong way, Remington's great... but their factory out-of-box gear doesn't hold a candle to the performance I can achieve from a Frankengun of aftermarket...

    Where to begin: XM2010 Clone Build

    Hello folks of Sniper's Hide, I'm interested in the Remington XM2010, but I don't think $18,000 is a fair price for an out-of-box production. I'm looking for advice and leads on how to assemble the final product I seek. I was informed of Sniper's Hide by an FFL who thought I should ask the...
