I recently ran into a similar situation with my AR pistol and I'm not sure how it happened.

2020-05-14 23:52:24 UTC  

Ok y'all, sorry if this has been beaten to death already but..BCM vs LWRC. Seen both at about the same price point, hear good about both. What do y'all think?

2020-05-14 23:52:38 UTC  

My freedom is just a few cm of heat treated aluminum away

2020-05-14 23:53:42 UTC  

I've heard LWRC is a bit above BCM. But BCM is known for their reliability.

2020-05-14 23:53:55 UTC  

I like the BCM handguard I bought, wouldn't have gotten a different one in hindsight. Very tight fight but...I like it that way

2020-05-14 23:53:58 UTC  

And LWRC is more expensive

2020-05-14 23:54:25 UTC  

BCM parts are very tight, I hear taking their rifles apart past a field strip is a bitch, lol

2020-05-14 23:56:25 UTC  

But also a pro of buying them.

2020-05-14 23:59:48 UTC  

I've always kinda been told that for a "field" rifle you should at least go BCM. But lwrc seems to always be mentioned next. Trying to sort out competition rifles from actual working rifles on the higher tier stuff basically to figure out what I want for the next toy purchase.

2020-05-15 00:00:53 UTC  

My first attachment? 1000 rounds of ammo

2020-05-15 00:01:01 UTC  

Then onto greener pastures

2020-05-15 00:01:50 UTC  

I've heard good things on LWRC... but every time I hear about working rifles, I hear about BCM. And another rifle I've read good things on, is the Barrett REC7

2020-05-15 00:04:36 UTC  

I've always been curious about the Barrett stuff but I know absolutely no one with any hands on experience with them. Same with KAC and Hodge. Read good stuff but can't find anyone who's ever pulled a trigger

2020-05-15 00:05:43 UTC  

KAC is good stuff, been up and close with then. No idea on Hodge, and I'd like to get a hold of a REC7 because It's like an HK416 that's not 4,000+ hahaha

2020-05-15 00:07:28 UTC  

Haha yeah. I'll throw some money down for quality but $4k is a little much.

2020-05-15 00:08:01 UTC  

Granted, they still MSRP at 2,500. But I'd rather pay that than 4k

2020-05-15 00:10:13 UTC  

You and me both. $2500 is pretty much my absolute limit.

2020-05-15 00:10:46 UTC  

I don't even wanna pay that.. but it is a short-stroke piston-driven AR.

2020-05-15 00:14:35 UTC  

I would prefer to not pay that either, just saying if there was a rifle that did absolutely everything I wanted short of reaching down and giving me a handjob everytime I shot it, then yeah.

2020-05-15 02:18:28 UTC  

Any 308/30-06 rifles yall would suggest for an into rifle for precision shooting?

2020-05-15 02:30:24 UTC  

Depends on your price range and platform

2020-05-15 02:31:44 UTC  

You wanting bolt action, Savage 110 LR is a decent out of the box intronrifle.

2020-05-15 02:32:48 UTC  

I've been researching it lately and it seems there's a few good options.
Tikka t3x for 700-1000 usd, I suggest the varmint / tactical barrel
Howa 1500 500-1000 usd, don't let the price fool you, it's extremely high quality with sub 0.5moa using quality ammo, and a flat bottom receiver. You can pick up a barreled action for 500 and mount it on a chassis / have it bedded in a stock of your choice for great customization.
Ruger precision rifle - great out of the box though a tad heavy and a bit more expensive. Supposedly have a few minor problems but I haven't read enough about them.
Remington 700 - poor quality these days but so much parts support you can literally have one built without any Remington parts. More expensive than it's worth.
Ruger American - idk anything about it but it exists
Mossberg patriot - also exists
Barrett fieldcraft - very light, though the barrel heats up quickly. Expensive but barrett quality.
Savage has some stuff too, idk much about them.

2020-05-15 02:38:23 UTC  

Some things:
Get a heavy barrel, it's worth it for the accuracy as full size rounds heat up fast.
Pick moa or mrad and get a good scope, it's probably more important than your rifle. Look for stuff with a maximum magnification of around 12 to 18. You won't use anything past 15 for shooting because the mirage is too much to deal with. You can make thousand yard shots plenty easy with a fixed 10x scope and training. (Though i don't recommend fixed for a fighting or hunting rifle)
Once you have your scope and rifle, get a mount that lets you have the scope as close to your rifle as possible without touching it. Don't skimp on the mount, get a good one or your scope is useless.

2020-05-15 02:39:41 UTC  

In fact I'd even say choose your scope first, then your rifle, then your scope mount.

2020-05-15 02:42:41 UTC  

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.

2020-05-15 02:50:04 UTC  

Good write up

2020-05-15 02:50:21 UTC  

Savages are really good out of the box

2020-05-15 02:50:37 UTC  

But my only tip is to get more scope than gun

2020-05-15 02:55:18 UTC  

How do y'all feel about the seekins precision SP3R mlok rail?

2020-05-15 02:55:23 UTC  

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

2020-05-15 02:55:49 UTC  

Haven't looked at it but Seekins is generally synonymous with quality in the precision shooting world

2020-05-15 02:56:57 UTC  

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.

2020-05-15 02:58:29 UTC  

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.

2020-05-15 03:03:27 UTC  

Big Daddy's BCG should be just fine

2020-05-15 03:03:31 UTC  

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.

2020-05-15 03:08:36 UTC  

Looks like I've become the bad lever guy XD

2020-05-15 03:11:53 UTC  

I really need an LMT enhanced

2020-05-15 04:27:53 UTC  

Question guys. Do they have any reliable plate carriers that actually cover both the stomach and chest area?

2020-05-15 04:28:21 UTC  

All the ones I'm seeing are mainly chest area but I'm concerned because a guy show is a slow but sure death.

2020-05-15 04:33:17 UTC  

No
