Bubba will get you right at the distances, and quick, too. <thumbsup>

Working on Saturday, brother. Superbowl Sunday is open. Hit the range in the morning, watch the game later. <thumbsup> I have a ton of new steel to setup, too. We have enough to set many multiple targets at as many distances as you want. At the same time.

I'm talking about any drop built into the mount - 10 MOA drop, 20 MOA drop, 30 MOA drop... That stuff. Gets you more range out of a scope that doesn't have enough internal adjustment.

Can't believe he went there - to himself!!! <lmao>

That scope should out-range that rifle, in .308 Win. That's plenty of scope. Zero is personal preference. How much total elevation adjustment does your scope have, do you have a mount with offset, and what's the max distance you'll shoot? (800 meters, I know... <lmao>) That determines what you need to zero to in order to reach your farthest targets.

Just wait 'til your 7 triggers show up... <lmao>

Not weird at all - the more magnification you have, the more movement you're going to see. The greater the magnification, the easier it is to see how shaky you are. Dial it down, things move less, and you get more comfortable on target. When you see the target moving, at higher magnifications, most people have the tendency to "ambush" the target - jerk the shot right when the target is centered in the crosshairs, and not moving around. My $0.02.

Action spring coil bind. $hitcan that spring.

Details on the barrel, so we can track crazy-dimension barrels?

That is damn awesome!

This thread initially confused me... <lmao>

Yes, changing that out shouldn't be an issue at all. Nice build, and nice write-up. <thumbsup>

Yes, 2.5" buffer for a 7" internal depth carbine receiver extension. I think you're hitting coil bind on that weirdass spring - whatever that thing is meant for. It doesn't match any .308 AR or AR-15 published lengths or coil count, at all. EDIT - That might be a spring for some RRA .308 Carbine design - have to hit up the RRA owners.

That measurement you gave in the first post - 10.5". That's about 3" too short, and 4 coils too many. That's why I asked. Sitting it on the table is the relaxed length - not compressed. Wrong spring for a .308 AR, for certain.

Wrong spring? You running a rifle spring? Measure the relaxed length of the spring.

^^^ Yep, exactly...

Exactly what I thought when I read that. If that GS said there's a burr on the barrel that won't let it fully seat, then he has to be talking about a burr on the outside of the barrel extension, and it's not fully mounted in the upper receiver - would create too much headspace with the bolt. That would be a very easy fix. However, if he's talking about some burr in the chamber (most likely) that is scratching the case, stopping the case in the chamber, and not letting the bolt fully close - that shouldn't be a tough fix, either. Like others have said, I'd polish the chamber first...

It came in, brother! :hethan: Sadly, I can't pick it up at the PO until Tuesday... :'( Work will begin immediately.

Not gonna lie - anytime I see you post "98" anything, it makes me a little nervous... <dontknow>

I think they've had this model for awhile - can't remember. They were the first to have a real .338 LM AR, and they had other long-action calibers at the time that were overlooked because of the Lapua.

It'll be tough for prosecutors to get the SBR charge to stick, even with all the other things these dickheads did. Hold it up in court, give the definition of SBR, see it doesn't fit that definition, charge dropped. I'd like to think that's how it would go in a court in most other states, anyway - State the charge, view the evidence, debate the proof of the evidence...

I love the hell out of that rifle. <thumbsup>

I'll pick the thing up and fire it off, that's for sure. :banana:

You're crazy. I need this thing instead:

That's damn good news, right there - you need to take care of those thumbs... I'm just sayin'...
