What do I have on order? Well, I'm glad you asked... Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmore!

Well you said it yourself, look how many he's got on his payroll....

In front of a dozen of Doc's actual friends no less.... That was ballsy!

It's not a rule, by any stretch of the imagination. It's simply my recommendation, I don't begrudge anyone who wants to disregard it. My only intention is to save others some grief, by all means use what you know will work for you.

That will depend on your ammunition and whether your turrets are MIL or MOA. The likelihood is that they are MIL turrets.

Nice rig!!!

Done, it's in the BRO section now.

I wouldn't advise trying to run any soft-point bullet in a 308 AR, it may or may not work out, with failure being more common than success. It has to hurt to watch good handloads be ruined by a rifle that's designed for hard-pointed ammunition.

Wilson Combat is notorious for an undersized gas port on early run barrels. You'll end up drilling that gas port size up. Fortunately, it's not too difficult.

Welcome to the forum!

Belated happy birthday Mack!

Welcome from a fellow Tool & Die backgrounded machinist.

He's gone, been gone for a day or two.

You gotta admit that would take care of the headaches...

Indeed, happy birthday Rob!!

No, I believe they did so to elect a president that would toe the party line and maintain the status quo of imposing the will of establishment crooks. Do you really believe that Republicans genuinely represent your best interests? Why did so many of them oppose DJT at the outset of his campaign, and why did they flip-flop once he became the clear favorite for the Presidency? Trump campaigned on draining the swamp and that's counter to both the Democratic and Republican establishment agenda.

That's the kind that's so good/bad you gotta share it!

Glad it worked out for you, that's a fantastic outcome!

The joke is on you, you have absolutely no idea of which industry experts this forum includes in it's core group, ironically because you're just another internet expert.

Welcome to the forum, great to have you and glad your rifle is running top notch!

This isn't Barfcom, if you're around long enough, that'll become apparent pretty quickly. We were here before large ARs had any kind of substantial market share, and the information that's freely given here is directly from experience and first-hand knowledge, not conjecture. Before you go making unflattering comparisons between this forum and the rest of the internet, take into account that the core group all know each other, most have met each other in person on more than one occasion, and all are part of a tight-knit family that's only partly forum based. You're welcome to benefit from years of things we've learned the hard way, at no cost and substantial benefit to yourself. If you feel like wasting that opportunity on arguments based on conjecture and conflicting hearsay, don't be surprised when it's not well received or even outright mocked. Information offered here comes directly from first-hand experience, if you want to make that out to be just more internet pablum you're in the wrong place.

Darwin and Nike are both behind you: Go for it!

And likewise there's no definitive data that says that mixing components is safe, so for both reasons of common sense and forum liability, I'll continue to recommend folks match their bolts to their barrel type until you're willing to foot the bill for any lawsuits against the forum.

What exactly IS the problem? It seems like you're trying to invent a more round wheel.
