In fact I'd even say choose your scope first, then your rifle, then your scope mount.
Don't worry about fancy shit like a kestrel, you don't need it. A good instructor will train you how to make calculations and judge wind by eyesight. You can actually see the wind using a spotting scope, it's pretty wild.
Good write up
Savages are really good out of the box
But my only tip is to get more scope than gun
How do y'all feel about the seekins precision SP3R mlok rail?
Definitely this ^
If you hand a scout sniper a shitty rifle with a good scope and mount, they can do a ton, but if you hand them some fancy Sako rifle and a shitty walmart scope and mount, there's not all that much they can do
Haven't looked at it but Seekins is generally synonymous with quality in the precision shooting world
I figured. Grabbed it because the BCM 13" got sold out by the time I ordered it, the seekins was only $10 more and 15"; on a 16" aero QPQ 1/7 barrel.
Only component of my rifle I'm concerned about that I couldn't find any info on is the big daddy unlimited BCG; It's full auto profile but couldn't find any reviews on it. Guess I'll be doing a good bit of measuring before shooting it.
Big Daddy's BCG should be just fine
Typically if a bcg has been magnetic particle inspected and high pressure tested, and has a properly staked gas key (literally the only bcg I've seen without a properly staked gas key was Anderson) then it's good to go. There's a couple other little things like checking the wear on gas rings and such.
Looks like I've become the bad lever guy XD
I really need an LMT enhanced
Question guys. Do they have any reliable plate carriers that actually cover both the stomach and chest area?
All the ones I'm seeing are mainly chest area but I'm concerned because a guy show is a slow but sure death.
No
Learn how to use cover
And don’t worry about covering your whole body in armor
Current inventory at distributor is 63 cases available. My cost is 800 plus shipping. LMK
Shipping should run Round 40 bucks
They tried armor that covers the stomach but it's so heavy and cumbersome that it was detrimental. If you didn't die from not being able to move fast enough, heat stroke would get you.
@BigRed1 what's green tip good for
Know fragmentation is low so lethality also drops
Is it better for shooting through things (not plates because I heard theyre not great for that) and at things (objects)
Light cover, like plywood, drywall, sheet metal, car doors, ect., don't really know why you wouldn't just run high velocity 77gr for barrier penetration though
Yea civilian market has unlimited ammo options
Or 62 Gn barrier blind softpoint
What do yall suggest would be the most applicable ammo to run? 556, 16" barrel
Yep
I just said it
What’s your twist
1:7
Heard heavier rounds are better for mine? I may be mistaken
62
55 is just fine though
1:7 is bettter for stabilizing heavier rounds. However, it will still throw 55 pretty decently. 1:9 is better for light rounds. And 1:8 is the lovely sweet spot that will throw anything.
Yea what he said ^ lol
For sure, I have 55 and 62, so I think I'm solid! Thanks guys
Anyone asking about ammo should reference the AR15 self defense ammunition article
