The PA prisms have an adjustable ocular the Acog doesn't. The glass is plenty good. Reports are good on reliability so far as well. I'd say they're more than 80 percent an Acog. Got plenty of those, but my last 2 optics purchases for ARs have been PA prisms. Considering a third for an 11.5...

My wife gave me a no lock Smith and Wesson 642 for my birthday once. My middle daughter got me a Henry Homesteader 9mm this past Christmas which I love. Other than that, I inherited 4 Ruger Blackhawks, a JM marked 45/70 Marlin and a Stoeger side by side 12 Guage from my pop when he passed in 2014.

I own several 20 round cardboard packages of 45acp ball ammo made by, IIRC, Frankford Arsenal in about 1918 for 1911 pistols. A good friend gave them to me about 20 years ago.

Traded for a Cimmaron uberti Evil Roy.

Correct it is a pistol with a brace.

Pork Sword 300blk bolt pistol. No need for sbr.

LOL. I am getting a 300blk due to its versatility and it looks damn fun!

Thanks E, I have read that before but will pay more attention to it now. didnt make it to the range this AM, but hopefully tomorrow. I need to load some more ammo anyway. Apparently, I started too hot with the 44.3 grains of Varget in 1x Lapua cases behind 175 SMK's. Not at all hot in my savage...

Thanks guys. I will work harder to develop that "perfect" load for this rifle than any other I have had.

Really? I loaded about 35 rounds. Half with 44.3 grains of varget and half with 44.7. I used 1X Lapua cases, 175 SMK's to a COAL of 2.800. I will load some lighter and use these later, assuming the load takes me in that direction. The loads I used were significantly lighter than loads I have...

Thank you Zak. I think I will start with the 175's using once fired (FL Sized) Lapua brass and 44.0 grains of Varget. Probably too light, but I have never loaded for anything that has been trued, blueprinted etc.. and using an Obermeyer barrel that I have heard is "tight". Not exactly sure what...

I have the rifle in my hands now. Just got the MKIV (60000) mounted. The rifle is mounted on an aluminum Seekins base and rings. Trying to determine a good starting point for loads for the 22" Obermeyer barrel. It is a 11.25 twist. Boots suggested using 175 SMK's. I have Lapua brass and either...

Buy some AR10 lowers. You can buy 5-6 of them for the price of one complete Ar.

I got one of the 20" BA's for $399 and put it in the $99 Hogue. The stock is pretty flexy but works well enough to shoot consistent 3/4MOA to 100 with handloads. I have a Manners T4A on order that should be here in 8-10 weeks. With all the CDNN BA's going on, Mr Manners is doing a run. So if you...

I am in the process of getting my first custom rifle and I am curious to hear from owners of GAP rifles and other custom tactical rigs. What makes one better than another? What makes them so good that we are willing to spend 3 grand and more for them? I want one either way, and I hope it shoots...
