Last year I bought an AAC SDN-6 with the original intent of using it on my SBR'd AR-15. I went with the N-6 to allow for 300 Blackout, 308, etc. as desired. It quickly found its way onto my AAC-SD Remington 700, however, only for me to discover that the SDN-6 really isn't a great can for a precision rifle.... but shooting with the can is way too damn much fun. Plus the milder recoil impulse and straight back recoil is awesome for long range and moving targets.
So, much to my future wife's chagrin, it's time for Stamp #4 - a real PR can. Here's what I know I want:
1) Quick detach. Cleaning with a thread mount can, and trying to travel set up that way doesn't look like much fun, especially after seeing mounting issues with some of the nicer thread mount cans.
2) Repeatability. I want something that I can fire one round, pull the can off, put it back on and put shot #2 in the same hole as number 1. Assuming I'm not over-thinking shit like I usually do, anyway. Mental voodoo tends to get to me.
3) Reasonable price - $1,000, give or take. That's before the stamp, of course.
This can will probably see some use on my AAC-SD, but will likely be seeing a near permanent home on a GAP-trued 700 in 6 Creedmoor that will be coming home with me this year (come hell or high water). I don't see any long actions or magnums in my near future, though, so 308 and under should be fine.
Right now, Mack Bros and TBAC are my two leading contenders. Both are right in my price range (or slightly under), and I have heard great things about both companies. Is there something else out there I should consider?
