Putting together a .308 carbine (16" barrel). Looking for a good scope to match the versatility of the rifle, and I'm not looking to spend more than $800 (might be able to stretch it to $1k). I'm thinking a 2.5-10x would be perfect. The general range is 50-900 yards. Okay so here is a rundown...

Looking to grab a 308 16" mid-length barrel. This is going to be a battle rifle more than a long range rifle, but I would like to get less than 1" groups. Initially I was planning on grabbing the Rainier Select barrel because its cheaper, lighter, and comes in black, but then I realized that the...

Been away from the hide all summer doing a summer fellowship. While this means I haven't shot a gun in over 2 months, it *does* mean I have some spare change. I toyed around with the idea of building an SPR or something in 6mmAR, but when I saw that Aero Precision had a 308 DPMS patter receiver...

Just finished building this gun a few weeks ago. For initial testing I just loaded up 40 gr of Rl-17 and 123 scenar. It shot real good, my friend and more experienced shooter was able to get under 1/2 inch. Decided to load a OCW up since velocities around 2670 weren't doing it for me. Here are...

So I just finished my 260 rem build and put my first 40 rounds downrange. I used a *light* 40 gr RL-17 and 123 lapua scenar. The build uses Slashes 10oz heavy buffer. The ejected brass had heavy ejection markings. I've heard 260 was tough on brass, but I put my heavy buffer into my friends 308...

So I have a Colt 6920 which I plan on converting to a 10.5" SBR. I realize that you can't use any old suppressor on a SBR, and it sorta seems like a trade off between durability and noise reduction. I was looking at the Thunderbeast 223A. I've read that Ti cans don't hold up as well to wear but...

Just finished putting together my first AR build! Basically a JP 260 barrel on a MKM MATEN. Here are some pics of the build: And here is a really crappy picture of the finished product. Bipod mount is still in the mail, and its dark it my apartment. I'd like to thank all the great...

So, just got Quickload and plugged my current 300 win mag load it to compare. Measured my case capacity right at 93.2 gr H2O , OAL 3.620", 26" barrel, 208gr AMAX, 74 gr H1000, and it underestimated what i chrono'd by almost 200 fps. My friend ran his 338 LM load though and it matched up exactly...

I've just barely finished getting the parts together for my 260 rem AR and I'm already planning my next build. Yes, its a sickness :D. I really like the idea of a SPR style AR with 77gr for practice out to 600-700 yards. These systems seem cheaper to feed as well as to build. I would like to...

Like the title says, I'm tall and my LOP measures about 14.5", so I need to add about an inch to the LOP. Eventually, I will get a new stock with the proper LOP or adjustable LOP, but until then I would like a somewhat cheap solution to my problem. Suggestions?

Looking to pick up a micrometer with the primary purpose of measuring neck wall thickness of brass, but would also like to use it for other things as well. I was thinking about a Mitutoyo but they have a large variety of anvil styles, tube, ball etc etc. In order to measure the inside of the...

When I get behind my rifle (700 PSS w/ the HS precision) I feel like in order to get the rifle solidly in my shoulder, my face is way too close to the front of the rifle. When I pull the bolt all the way back the handle wacks me in the face. I'm a tall guy (6'3") and have long arms. My LOP...

Just putting the finishing touches on my semi auto build. Eventually, I'd like to put an Atlas on it, but for now I just want to get my Harris (which I share between 2 other rifles with sling studs) onto the rail. Don't want to do QD cause my other two rifles don't have rail's to mount onto. Was...

Trying to decide which scope mount. Scope will probably be a 10x SWFA SS, rifle is a MATEN w/ 260 barrel and PRS stock. I'm trying to avoid QD since I don't have a need for it and its just another thing to go wrong. Normally, I'd just go with some Seekins AR height rings, but I'd really like to...

I'm in the market for a new scope. Here's the deal. I've got a 300 win mag with the SS 10x on it. I think I would like to move that up to a 12x or 16x and put the 10x on a 260 rem I'm working on. I would like to stick with these scopes mainly because of the cost and performance I get out of...

I've got a 260 build thats almost done, so I'm starting to collect components for reloading and of course Varget and H4350 are nowhere to be found. But what there is an abundance of (and I already have for my 300 win mag) is H1000. I know this is not the ideal powder for this caliber, but I'd...

I just bought my 260 Remington barrel from JP, and I'm looking at what dies I need. I've seen some reports that JP barrels have really tight chambers and thus benefit from a small base die (this was in general, not necessarily a 260 rem barrel). Does anybody have any experience with this? If...

Title really says it all. Rifle is a precision large frame AR, not for combat (fun/matches/maybe hunting only), but one never knows I suppose. I was looking at the 45 degree offset sights and red dot sights, but is this really something I should put on my gun? Do most guys just put these cause...

So, I've been asking a bunch of questions about this topic here. Before I asked generally about .260 loaded to mag length with big bullets (140 amax, 140 hybrids). Now, I figured I should ask specifically about the JP barrel since I'm pretty set on this one. Basically, my question is: how much...

Just got a Maten receiver (okay, its in the mail to my FFL) and my next purchase will be a BCG (I'm buying things over time so as to spread out the pain). Looking at DPMS or Fulton Armory. The DPMS seems to be the choice of many, but I can't seem to find any in stock. The FA is in stock. Here...
