You won’t feel too bad in a few years when they double in price again. 🤣

There’s an old idiom: “the market is rational but people are not.” Are SVDs overrated in performance compared with modern semi-auto platforms? Yes. Will that stop people from going bananas over them? No. I’ll just have to consider my trigger time behind the SVDs to be a blessing enough, as...

Look, I’m here under my own name with the intention for everyone to see. There is no mystery as to who I am, nor my purpose in this thread. If you are going to make yourself known then do so plainly. My personal perspective on war and peace clearly differs from yours and while I would love to...

No my response was not meant to be snarky, as it was not at all sarcastic, rude or impertinent. The response was humorous yes and perhaps too dark for taste but nonetheless relevant to addressing the misconception purposed. I meant no offense, nor do I take any and I can appreciate the age old...

🙄 No it was not made for QP, it was made for murder. 🙃 Edit: Lol, Due to the political sensitivity of the age we all live in, allow me to expand on that comment. The RD LPR is at its heart a purpose built fighting rifle. We specifically geared the LPR towards the professional end user (and...

Yeah sometimes coming in a notch on the stock help shooters get behind the rifle a little better, as long as it’s not too much of a compromise in the LOP. The lateral POI shifts could be from sloppy NPA (it’s very tempting to muscle the rifle in a tripod/barricade). Could be from over/under...

@bigjake83 actually did a really in-depth review on “fixing” some of the OBR shortcomings https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/a-tale-of-three-larues-large-frame-review-part-1-obr.7213077/ I believe my particular OBR might have suffered from this problem he mentioned where the hand guard...

So what I’d recommend is mapping out any mechanical POI shift and document the correct in angular units. I like to then, using a paint pen, write that correction directly on the buttstock as a reminder. You can then dial or hold that correction (in addition to your normal elevation) as need as...

I agree, positional shift is often a mix of mechanical influence of the hand guard along with subtle changes to the attitude of the body in relation to the rifle, and which obviously any error of parallax would be exaggerated. This last part about parallax creeps in a lot when concerning LPVOs...

77gr. FGMM has been statistically one of the most consistent performing .223/5.556 factory loads. Black Hills is a close second but it’s been a little more lot to lot these days.

I would tend to disagree on the point of gas systems not be critical to accuracy. I honestly think it’s one of the most overlooked aspects of building accurate ARs. I would probably base it 3rd in my priorities right after having a quality barrel and tight receiver interface. In regards to...

Yeah we are in a way insulating our selves from certain markets and there is some intention behind that. That may seem odd to draw a boundary but being as we’re just starting this part of our company that means we can’t be everything to everyone. Our initial goal was a rifle designed and...

Others have inquired, but let me answer for the group. Can it be done? Yes there are no proprietary tools needed but knowledge of induction heating would be required, along with corresponding skill sets. I don’t want to belittle anyone but successful disassembly is likely beyond your typical...

I honestly don’t know enough to say what that time line is like at the moment. I am sure there are growing pains as we scale up, so please be kind to Blake, besides managing the rifles they also manage shipping for our Outfitter warehouse. My focus has been part QC, production and test fire...

The boys in shipping are working through the list (which was massive long) but I’d say we should be through by June.
