Yeah, the Omega was the hottest thing going for awhile, but it seems like it's fallen out of favor. TC isn't even making it anymore. I know in muzzle loading circles it's not very highly thought of, something to do with lock time. I think they're fine, and call me crazy, but I can't see how a...

Anybody know of a place making replacement omega barrels? Obviously if you search "TC" and "barrel" all you get is contender and encore stuff. If you leave out the "TC", you get watch stuff. I know I could just buy another one, but I kinda wanted to see if there was a more accurate custom option.

Thank you, for bringing this to my attention! That is awesome! I wouldn't want it in 300 win mag, but they're just scratching the surface of the capabilities of that platform. I understand. They have to cater to the military first. Not that the 300 couldn't do what I want. It could, and do...

Man... The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper don't it. I'm starting to think I may be better off to shelve this idea and see how the market goes. Hell, the way the AR market is going we may have ultra mag ARs in no time. I think I'll just enjoy my .25 WSSM for now. It'll do...

Would I be better off to just buy an LR308 and re-barrel it in .284 Win.? Seems like a hell of a lot less trouble, and I wouldn't give up much velocity. Even if I have to use the lighter bullets, I think I can get it done out to 800. Brass is pretty readily available, as well as load data.

c_bass16 I knew you'd come through for me on this one. I almost just messaged you. What do you know about these guys? Rifle Accuracy Systems Inc Custom Accurate Rifles Barrel Conversions Ruger Mini Remington 700 7400 750 AR10 AR15 I was thinking about them for the upper. As far as...

I forgot to mention. I'll be building at least the lower myself.

I am reasonably certain my next project is gonna be a big AR. This is the beginning, I know there are several different variations of the "AR-10, but that's about all I know. Other than it will be in 7mm SAUM, it will have a heavy 28 or 30 inch barrel, and of course accuracy is the most...

Love it! I got completely off of the sniper's hide forums because it filled up with "so called" 1000 yard bench rest know it alls. This is long range hunting. Not paper punching. Go get on a bench rest forum if you want to talk about that ****. I have a theory that the reason we find so...

That's what I was thinking about Geissele, knowing the AR like I do. I just didn't see how they could be worth what you would pay for an entire lower. The drop-ins intrigued me. Then, I've got a buddy who is a police swat sniper in Tulsa. He had a run-away gun (in training, thank god) with...

I see your point when you put it like that. I just assumed it was a given, a good bolt gun trigger was the standard by which it would be judged. I'll be honest though, I've never really understood why some people gripe so much about so called bad triggers. I appreciate a good trigger, but...

Well I've shot AR's my entire adult life. Both on the range and the battle field. Honestly I do quite well with a factory trigger, and being that I was the armorer for my unit and my marksmanship team in the Army I can even tune them up a little myself. I just thought someone might have some...

Took my rifle out over the weekend. Shot some perfect one hole three shot groups at 100 yards. I'm getting right at 2900 fps with the 120 grain Winchesters. That's 808 ft-lbs and still 1742 fps at 500 yards. I'm sure I can get more out of that cartridge when I start reloading for it, but...

Geissele has so many different triggers. I don't want to spend the money only to find out later that I would have been better served with a different one. What are your thoughts? This will be used primarily for deer hunting. However nothing is out of the question. Hogs, predators, and...

Update; I went to Dtech and ordered a .25 WSSM upper and built a Black Rain billet lower myself. It took 16 months to get the upper (thank you gun grabbing democrats) but it was well worth the wait. Mike is an artist. Took it out Saturday for some barrel break in and function / reliability...
