Fuckin' AWESOME, brother!

If I could find a '77 Pontiac Can Am with the T/A 6.6 in it, I'd lose my mind. Not interested in the one that had the "6.6 Litre" on the shaker - that was the let-down engine. Other than that, and a nice Trans Am, I'll always be on the hunt for a Grand National that I can afford... I'd love a GNX, but that will never be my reality... Hint - there were hidden "Can Ams" that never got to see the light of day, after the aftermarket factory-builder broke the rear spoiler mold. Once that mold broke, no more were ever made, and the run was cut short. But the actual cars were already produced... I'd take one of those in a heartbeat.

Is this like Eddie, and the 800 meter shot?... After busting this out, at 1,262 yards, and winning money from buddies - I'm certain that pics were taken... You were logged in 7 hours ago, so I'm sure you checked up on your thread, here...

Evanescence - that would be Amy Lee. ❤️ I would impregnate her, just to trap her in a relationship...

GAWD DAYUM! @edgecrusher is gonna love this when he sees it!!!

HELL YEAH!!! If it was a '77 Esprit in Buckskin Gold, I would have shiit my pants...

Pics of the Firebird, man!~ I love those things...

Got the Troy fixed iron sights today - DDs were sold out everywhere I was looking, and I've used the Troy's before - so they got the nod. WOA gas tube arrives Friday. Might be able to shoot it this coming weekend. I know I threatened paint before now, but I'm waiting on two key things for it, before I paint it. I need them, before I can paint. Here she sits - and if I can get that gas tube in it, I'll shoot it on Sunday morning.

He could step up to a Rem 783 in .308 Win, the Varmint version. 26" heavy barrel, great trigger that's actually adjustable (and doesn't suck, for a Rem factory trigger). It actually has a real, detachable magazine, so no top-loading - just change mags. MSRP is $637.50, street price should be lower. Step down to that Primary Arms 4-14x44 mildot scope at MSRP $229, like in the MAC vids above, done. Throw in those same Warne Maxima rings. Under a grand. The gun will do it - that's the same setup on my .243 Win. I went Athlon on the 4-14x44 scope, so I'd have a badass illuminated reticle, so the scope was $300 street, instead of $229 MSRP. Here's the gun: https://www.remington.com/rifles/bolt-action/model-783/model-783-varmint Here's the scope: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-4-14x44mm-riflescope-mil-dot-pa4-14xffp Here's the Athlon version of it, with the GREAT illuminated reticle: https://athlonoptics.com/product/rifle-scopes-talos-btr-4-14x44-aplr-ffp-ir-mil/ IF THE OP IS LOOKING TO DO THIS WITH A .308AR, AND GO OUT TO 1K YARDS, THEN IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. HE'LL HAVE A BOX-OF-SHIIT BUDGET RIFLE THAT WILL NEVER BE UP TO THE TASK... THE BARREL WILL BE A BUDGET BARREL, AND SUCK - THE TRIGGER WILL SUCK... JUST WON'T HAPPEN... My $0.02...

MAC pulled it off, 6/7 years ago. We can do this... That Savage Model 10 he's shooting isn't the same price it was in late 2013, anymore. Gotta move to a different Savage now.

Damn, they have 339 rifle dies/listings, but after #120, they're "temporarily out of stock" on everything else. I did find this interesting tidbit - form 8mm Mauser from 30-06 brass: https://palmettostatearmory.com/rcbs-trim-8mmx57-mauser-15965.html

With your listed possibilities - I'd build a 300BLK over a 5.56, if I was building a short(er) pistol build. I'd definitely build a 6.5 Grendel over a 6.8 SPC II gun, anyday. That's just me...

Yeah it is. My first one was $325. Things were WAY DIFFERENT in Jan 2010.

I don't know, brother - I can pull this off. Savage Axis II Overwatch has a listed MSRP of $529, street price will be lower. Pull an Athlon Ares BTR 6-24x50 mil scope for under $400 street price. That rifle already comes with a Pic rail on top. Set of Warne Maxima Steel 30mm low rings for $50, and I'll still be under a grand - well under, depending on the steet price of that rifle. Bet I could get it under $1k, and hits at 1k, too. Here's the rifle I'd base it on - I THINK he's talking about a bolt action rifle anyway, and the Savage AccuTrigger - from what I could tell of his post: https://www.savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=57484 ^^^ Just saw it on Bud's Gun Shop for $447. Here's the scope I'd do: ^^^ Just saw that one for $399,without looking hard. Another $50 on these, and I'm done. I can splurge and get them straight from Warne for the full MSRP of $62.49: https://warnescopemounts.com/product/213m-30mm-fixed-low-matte-rings/

They're both good, and will easily do what you want them to do. The DB sounds like a better deal, and is already proven reliable, by the previous owner.

Good shooting!... Pics of such an event would be mandatoy...

Savage bolt action rifle, with the Savage Accu-Trigger?

Yep. You'll need the 11.000" tube, AR-10 bend.

I used a KAK Lo-Pro gas block, that's 15/16" front to back, long. Both set screws are on the 0.750" portion of the barrel. Went with the White Oak Armament custom gas tube. Even if you move the gas port back, you'll still need a custom gas tube.

No-Go works like it's supposed to, so you don't have excessive headspace, and that's usually the "danger zone" to look at. Chamber might be tight - then again, it might appear "tight" in every aspect, until you shoot it. From the gauge readings, chamber looks tight. From the live-round test - it engaged. I'd shoot it, if it was mine, in this circumstance. What did you come up with for a gas tube length?

The uppers look identical to DPMS LR-308 upper receivers, but there's no guarantee that they're machined identical. Best bet is to use a DMPS LR-308 lower. PA Gen 3 stuff is proprietary, and they state that on their website. All the PA-10 stuff is proprietary, different from the DPMS pattern in very small ways.

Very, very cool videos - thanks for finding and posting those!

That's an impressive cartridge, brother! That's alot of weight at good speed, and really good accuracy. That's a keeper!

Over 7 5/8" = out of spec. That's why I asked you about the numbers you were getting. Extra depth? Timing, timing, timing...
