    7prc > 7rm ??

    Yep, not as advertised. Barrel is a 24” Proof CF. Pic of velocity was through a new barrel. It sped up to 2889 after 100 rounds, but it’s still slow. Accuracy was 3/4” @ 100. I can load for it and will be doing so soon. I’d be ****ed if I couldn’t load. Marketing burnt a lot of people I...

    ZCO owners

    Don't mean to derail thread but with several ZCO owners here I want to ask (hope OP doesn't mind)…Why did you pick a 420? What did it replace and / or did you also consider? Which reticle did you select? Can you describe what it's like (image quality, how much of the scope body you see, FOV...

    SOLD/EXPIRED Berger 6.5mm / .264 130gr. Hybrid OTM Tactical Bullets.

    I'm offering approx. 1022 (likely more) of these Berger 130's. I say approx because I cracked into one of the 500 count boxes and used less than 50, but not going to count them. You'll receive: 950 of same lot (likely more) 72 of a different lot. All the above bullets shipped to your door for...

    GA Precision Hospitaller 308 Surgeon Action

    Good Morning. Great looking rifle. GAP builds hammers. How many rounds down the barrel? Weight? The bipod attachment is the single stud? Thanks and free bump.

    What to buy? NX8 or MK5HD

    It’s great. 24” proof carbon. Harris bipod. Wouldn’t change anything.

    What to buy? NX8 or MK5HD

    I just put a Mk5 3-18 with the Gunwerks RH1 hunting reticle on a 7PRC (Origin action, proof bbl, Manners Pro Hunter) and I like it quite a bit. Weight is perfect, tracks true to 1020y, RH1 reticle is visible to my eye at low magnification and is easy to use at higher magnification. Glass is...

    Colt AR-15 A4 vs DPMS Prairie Panther

    I think it has to do with how the rifle is set up. I wouldn’t want to hunt with a 20” A2 with fixed sights and a 5-7lb mil spec trigger, but a .223 with 52-55gr NBT, good optic and a great trigger for coyotes or prairie dogs would be perfect. Add a suppressor for quieter fun. Switch uppers...

    7mm PRC

    My velocity with factory Hornady 175ELDX was similar to yours. Through a new 24” proof CF barrel I’m getting 2839fps, SD 9. I was bummed, as I was hoping for 2900-2950 w/ a speed up after bbl break in. I know the bbl will speed up, but not likely 100+fps. The proof bbl does stacks the...
