Eric.

I know this question is for Freddy, but, i can get out to 750yds with my gun (18" barrel, shooting 69gr BlackHills smk's). Also, what reticle does your scope have? Eric

Welcome to the forum, Freddy. I think we'll all benefit from having your input here! Guys, bhtc is Freddy Wissing: Black Hat Training Corp www.bhtcorp.com Eric

The only issue is that a .223 is typically going transonic around the 625 yd area. While hits can be made past that, its a bit of a crap shoot. Eric

Ive taken training with BHTC and Freddy Wissing. Couldnt be more satisfied with their product(s). Eric

Personally, for long range, I feel Black Hat Training Corp cannot be beat. In addition to an outstanding course, by instructors that know how to shoot well and teach it, you get to train on a range that goes out to 1050 yards. Maybe Freddy Wissing will chime in. I dont know of anywhere to shoot to 1000 yds in Jersey. Www.bhtcorps.com Eric

You can talk to John Donald, who runs the high power events. That group has the scopes. If you ask him, im sure he'll let you try one. The other option is that if you want to guest me in, Id be happy to bring mine one afternoon and spend a couple hours shooting... Eric

Sounds very fair to me, to not have to spend a Sat afternoon doing it myself. Eric

Why would any of us from Jersey, know anything about IWB carry?? J/K. Eric

And, of course, the most compliant way woukd be to ship it to an FFL who will do the compliance mods for you, then you take possesion... Eric

fwiw, I use a lil Anti Seize lube on taper pins. It helps prevent oxidation and makes it a ton easier to remove again. Eric

I use Impact too. I have it in a molle compatible case/cover and attached to my range bag. I like the variety of pages i.e. Silhouette, circle targets, square, free form... You can take out the target pages you don't use and slim the book down some. Eric

One more pro: cooler running bcg One more con: extra weight attached to barrel affects accuracy Eric

Ived used autoparts store grade Brake Kleen and had no bad effects. Truth be told, I prefer "carb and choke cleaner" over brake kleen because it does a much better job with dissolving carbon. Brake Kleen doesn't work well on carbon deposits. Eric

Theres a good thread on SH. A few guys bought one in 243 and 6.5C. Good reviews, so far. Eric

I haven't tried a Super Tricon yet. The 4.5lb trigger is a tad heavy for me but satisfies the mil spec standard, I suppose. I saw one of the features is a stainless steel hammer spring. Makes sense for those that have salt water engagements. Eric

Looks like a post ban but pre Freedom Group XM 15? For service rifle competition, you might not get the accuracy potential with the stock chrome lined barrel. The stock trigger would be a huge hinderance too. Eric

I would still like to know the barrel measurements for my own satisfaction, but if Frank/Lowlight says its GTG, it probably is. Eric

The only issue i can see is that the stock barrel is a little light for extended strings of fire. .75 at the muzzle and medium profile hints of it being more of a "sporter" profile. Hopefully, either Ruger or a good barrel maker will offer different barrel choices in the future. Still, this sounds like one helluva entry level precision rifle. I would take this all day over, say, a Rem 700 SPS AAC. For an extra $400 ish, you are getting much more gun than you would dumping that money into upgrades for the 700. Eric

I like the EBR 2 Mil hash reticle by Vortex Optics. IMO, if you plan on staying with long range, precision rifle, get what you will eventually need someday (even though you are only shooting 300 yds at the moment). BTW, Cumberland (rifle range) goes out to 600 and is in south NJ. Eric

I've had this list for a while. It's a comprehensive list of various AR part weights for everything from stocks to muzzle brakes. I thought this might be useful for anyone building or modifying their AR. *Note-I don't know the original writer, to give credit, but I have verified a good portion of hte data, myself. Eric

Ridiculously cheap, for what you are getting. If the Ruger Precision delivers on all the talking points, they will sell a metric shit-ton of them. There might be one in my future. Eric

The OP has issues with the bolt cycling. First, you tell him he needs a heavier buffer, implying that the fix is delaying bolt movement. Next (probably after reading up some) you now also say that its undergassed, trying to imply that a heavier bolt will increase gas pressure. BTW, the gas pressure is the same, regardless of bolt weight, fyi. At the end of the day, a heavier bolt has more mass. As such, it takes more force to move it further (which is the problem here). The fix is a lighter bolt or more gas to assist bolt movement. Lastly, machine guns use heavier buffers to adjust the cyclic rate of fire/ bolt movement, just so you now know. It has zero bearing towardsnincreasing pressure. Eric

Umm, no. This is incorrect. Eric

Nice. It looks like you have the Ops Inc collar. Do you have the suppressor or are you in New Jerkey? Eric

Agreed, T. A somewhat shorter barrel life is the only drawback. Eric
