Re: 16" AI AW
Stacey stated that the 6.5 Creedmoor barrels he is offering are Bartlein barrels. I would not be surprised to find that the 1:10 .308 barrels are from the same source.

Re: 16" AI AW
Deadly, you've got me thinking now. I really like the look of your rig, and I will have an extra barrel when my 20" comes in. I have a suppressor that I'm waiting on the government for, chopping my current 26" to 16" when the 20" comes in is a real attractive option!

Re: 16" AI AW
Probably right. The Coverts are 1-10 Bartlein as well.

Re: 16" AI AW
I am looking forward to muzzle velocity data.
A 16" AE would be very compact and handle nicely. But I don't think I can accept the loss of velocity over the 20".

Lonewolf, we should have the rifle in hand tomorrow and out sometime within the next few days. We will post the velocity once we confirm it.

Already have solid data from my 16" M700.
168 Amax TAP 2470fps
M118 175gr 2450fps
Hope that helps!

I am specifically interested in what you are getting through the AI barrel since it should be significantly faster than a factory Remington barrel.
My 20" AE clocks M118LR at 30fps than my 26" Remington.
If I could get 25-2600 from a 16" AI barrel then it might be a viable option for me.

Re: 16" AI AW
Interesting...
Never had like barrel lengths to compare.
I'll be sure to let you know then.
Should be headed out there today.

This little thing shoots like a laser, its easily the "handiest" gun here. Its running around 2580 fps "ish" with M118LR with the 175 SMK

With a little hotter load that may actually work well up to 1K.

Re: 16" AI AW
You are REALLY making me want to get the AE cut back now.
Good thing I don't have a can for it right now or it would probably be on it's way to the smith.

This thing is great. One of my favorites instantly.

Re: 16" AI AW
It wasn`t a big deal ... thats part of it! Still better than the last F-Class match. I shot right next to a 338. Now that was a little disturbing to say the least

Re: 16" AI AW
I am REALLY happy to see this. For my 1st ever .308, I bit the bullet and ordered the DTA SRS Covert (16", 1 in 11" twist). I hope it performs even half as well as listed above in this post (4" pigeons at 520 yds).
Any of the 16" barrel .308 shooters out there ever tried the 155 gr Scenars for the purpose of squeezing out an extra couple hundred fps??? Ditto for Hornady 168 gr A-Max or 178 gr BTHP???

Re: 16" AI AW
The brake is not necessary but he is running a can so the barrel required threading and why not utilize the brake in place of a thread protector. She looks sweet and enjoy, nothing but fun from here.

Re: 16" AI AW
Havent shot this rifle with a can yet, but the 16" remmy is no louder than one of the other guns with longer barrels.

Re: 16" AI AW
The sound unsuppressed will be more say "shocking" to those around you due to the shorter barrel and close proximity of the dual ports. As for the suppressed, it actually will vary from can to can. Some will demonstrate a small to notable difference in sound. My experience with the cans I am running will be somewhat quieter. Nathan will have to post his experience with his model however.

a 20" AIAW w/ 2.0 folder option, muzzle break is 6600$ last i checked, then you have the fees to get the barrel cut and rethreaded, and the cost of the NV mounting device, my guess would be 7500-8k
