You should familiarize yourself with the process for calculating bullets stability before you make any decisions: https://bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/ Also need to consider terminal performance .

Actually lighter/faster bullets produce higher recoil and recoil impulse (https://tigersharkballistics.com.au/pages/recoil-heavy-or-light-bullets). The results is more muzzle rise too. Momentum = MxV so slightly reducing mass to greatly increase velocity results in more momentum (recoil)...

Accuracy and velocity spread are also concerns . For example, if your target size is 5” diameter, a 1moa rifle is limited to about 500yd based solely on accuracy (other factors like wind, vel extreme spread, and shooter ability) may reduce that further. That same rifle with a 1/2moa load doubles...

Excellent terminal ballistics info on the 270 win here: https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.270+Winchester.html Several other articles on .270 bullets in the knowledgebase as well.

First, check your barrel twist to be sure you can stabilize the bullets you want to try. Then research the terminal ballistics of each and measure that against your philosophy of use (i.e., what are you hunting). If long range shooting/hunting is a concern, research typical velocities of each...

I’ve had 4 and only one shoots halfway decent. Had to send 2 back and other one is a boat anchor collecting dust. I wouldn’t touch one with a 10ft pole at that price the sell them for. Only good thing about criterion is the customer service. They were excellent and tried everything to fix the...

Price drop: $225 shipped for the SBT brace.

Yes, I also have a new tommy built tactical ump brace for sale that I was going to use with this end cap on my mp5. They work well together and fit my PTR mp5.

Have a new unused SB Tactical SBT5A folding pistol brace ($225 shipped) and a B&T MP5 folding brace adapter/end cap ($115) shipped, also unused. Both fit other mp5 clones. Gilkisonj(at)gmail

Aero makes some good cheap mounts of weight is a concern.

The ADM ADS20 20moa is by far my favorite, especially when they were $150. One piece, solid, made in USA, quick detach, and low enough to give the a comfortable cheek weld. 20moa is a must have for Ar15/10 shooting medium-long range. I can’t stand those goofy cantilevered mounts - these...

If you want to get good at shooting LR, get 223 (75gr bthp) and a fixed 10x and practice shooting 6-700yds. Shoot a lot, miss a lot, learn a lot. No use shooting out the barrel in your overbore 7mm.

How are you evaluating glass quality? What makes you think NF is better than anything else mentioned? I think you should do a little reading, preferably an unbiased non forum publication that objectively compares several scopes based on a uniform set of parameters.
