I am putting some feelers out there. This rifle has one session of ladder testing, zero, then shooting from 300-980 yards. After that, I put it in the safe and haven’t shot it since. I have a ton of AR type rifles so I think it’s time to clear some out.

No. But I have three tags (none exactly what I wanted) but hey, got to pay to play… if I can restock the freezer I’ll be happy dude. I ain’t complaining about any tag in my pocket!
Like the poster above said, if one was to build an ARC ( or any AR15 sized cartridge) in a mini howa with carbon stock and and short carbon barrel for an ultra light weight rig, I can see that. However, I can also build an ultralight AR system using magnesium, carbon, and Ti components around a...
I personally don’t see the point of the ARC in a bolt gun, just an AR. There are so many choices in the bolt gun world that will outperform the ARC… not to mention the non-std bolt face as you mentioned.

I personally would...
If the 25-06 is new, it will speed up with more rounds through it. If it’s a mid data load, I wouldn’t worry about that speed yet.
I did a 19” tikka 25-06 for a friend, and we are shooting 87gr Berger (bullet isn’t made anymore) at 3430 using below book max 87 gr data if h4831SC. That was just...
Your 25-06 is a Tikka? Are you using Tikka mags? I thought the 135gr couldn’t be used in the factory mag.
Just sell the 7 PRC. It’s a popular round, I’m sure it will sell.
I inquired about the .308 138gr HHT expansion threshold and this is what Steve said:
“We impacted tested the 138gr HHT and the 154gr HHT the other day. With the current batch of copper they both need to stay above 1900 fps. The next batch of copper is going to be better for low vel impacts. The...
