    AR Ban Implications on existing owners and Boulder Tragedy

    The King Soopers tragedy hit close to home as it is 1 mile from my son's college apartment and he usually shops there on Monday's - fortunately he was with me that night - It got me thinking about my position on an A/R ban - I have several in addition to my bolt guns. I wonder what would happen...

    Best Silencer Value for POF 6.8 SPC

    I just discovered I cannot use my ThunderBeast Ultra 9 cans (I have 2) on my POF piston 6.8 SPC since it has 1/2 x 28 threads and TB does not offer a threaded brake for these cans in that thread. I picked TB Ultra 9's because they are extremely accurate and I do not need high rates of fire. I...

    Powder Temperature Sensitivity

    After finding out today that Alliant Power Pro 2000 has a 1 to 2 fps variance per degree F, I asked the Alliant guys which of their other products (almost all of them) were temperature sensitive and found out some of my favorite loads will have this problem (especially for my 6.5-06 which uses...

    Alliant Power Pro 2000 in 308 AR Piston - Free Lunch?

    I was thinking of using my POF P308 for the next ELK hunt - but consider the velocity marginal at best for the long 250 - 350 yd shots that might be required. I am getting 2578 with the 20 in barrel with factory Hornady ELD-X 178 which surprised me as it is only 22fps slower than the factory...

    Best AR Platform value?

    Interested in hearing about the latest generations of AR platforms where value, accuracy, weight, reliability and the company behind the product are criteria. It seems like the KA, H&K and FN carry a considerable premium for being a military platform. I imagine testing, reliability and...

    Bighorn Origin Bolt Handle Angle

    I just got my second Bighorn / KRG Bravo rifle built - The first has a 6.5 CM Steel and 300 WSM Proof Carbon barrel with a TL3. The second is a Origin / KRG Bravo with a 6.5 PRC Proof CF barrel - Both are extremely accurate and have Tactical Bolt Handles and Timney Calvin Elite Triggers. Much...

    POF Barrel Accuracy?

    I would welcome any comments on the barrels used by POF and where I can get a cut-rifled or other precision barrel for my POF's. I have contacted Rock Creek and also Proof and they do not have anything to offer. POF also just sells their current production - although they are always very...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5xi 5-25x56 FFP vs Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 SFP on POF P308

    I have a POF P308 with a 20in barrel and I also have the two scopes in the title and would appreciate opinions on which one to use for this rifle. The Rifle is used for Target/Tactical/SHTF and possibly as a medium range hunting platform. It shoots ELD X 178 at 2580 and I am capable of 1 MOA on...

    Burris Eliminator III on POF p308 Piston gun

    I posted this in scopes bit it occurred to me that I might get more appropriate feedback here. I was thinking of replacing my Bushnell 6500 elite 2.5x16x50 with an Eliminator III - 3x12x44 which I already own, on my POF P308 Semi Auto Piston gun with a 20" barrel. They seem to get criticized...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator III on POF P308 AR-10

    I was thinking of replacing my Bushnell 6500 elite 2.5x16x50 with an Eliminator III - 3x12x44 which I already own, on my POF P308 Semi Auto Piston gun with a 20" barrel. They seem to get criticized fairly often but I have yet to read about them failing. The glass is good enough and the...

    Leica HD-B Ballistics using Hornady 4DOF Data

    I just bought my first pair of Tier One Optics - the Leica Geovid HD-B from Doug. I shoot Hornady 143 ELDX in my 6.5-06 because they group, give me acceptable velocity (2814) in my 22.25 barrel and seem like they will be a great all purpose hunting bullet. I am attracted to using the actual...

    Nikon Laserforce vs Leica Geovid HD-B 2000

    This year's Elk hunt was especially difficult due to heavy snow and 14 degrees F temperature. The usual process of digging in the pack for the rangefinder, getting the binoculars dialed in and taking off my gloves to operate the two devices was far more taxing then in less extreme situations. I...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner MX5i and T5xi Value

    "I just purchased both a Steiner 5-25x56 M5Xi MSR2 for 2270 and also a Steiner T5Xi 5-25x56mm SCR-MOA Reticle for 1435 online with the idea to pick one and send the other back - I have read a ton on-line and as no one has both in stock near me I wanted opinions as to whether the 835 US is worth...
