Carothers and Guns

[Jsega51]

Excellent suggestions thanks everyone, Butler Creek and the like don’t last very long at all, they’re only good for storage and even then I’ve pulled rifles out after a few years and the plastic is brittle as hell.

In the words of Clint Smith, and in regard to the M1A...


"It doesn't shoot stuff. It shoots THRU stuff to GET to stuff."



*For me, the "Mr. Hyde" configuration screams "Counter Assault Team".

Checked function on the M1A today with suppressor. Worked just fine. No gas in my face and ejection was the same as unsuppressed. Quieter than I thought it would be.




Also checked collimation on some thermal mounted on a 22.

Yes sir. Hopefully they get back up and running soon. Some excellent rifles.

10 shot group at 50 yards the other day.

Well that ain't too shabby at all. And agreed, kind of a bummer if some of what the rumor mill has said is true, but I hope they're able to pull it together.

I've tried at least 6-7 varieties in different lots of eley in my one anschutz and not found one it likes very much. Been using SK match with good results.

Not as good as your vudoo but I've been happy with its performance.

That looks pretty dang good. I have a few test lots incoming to see what works best, but I was pleasantly surprised by the standard Eley.

I was a little relieved my gun didn't decide tenex was the one it preferred.

The more time I spend behind this one the more I like it.

What have you got there ?

 

[trevitrace]

What have you got there ?

Kelbly action, bartlein #6 barrel in 6.5 CM, McMillan a5.

Not an amazing group, but if I'm doing my part it's a capable gun. Only three shots but at 400 with factory ammo I'm pretty happy.

I'm out of touch, i didn't know there was factory ammo for 6.5mm Creedmoor. Huge growth in that.

That action needs an aftermarket trigger ?
What kind did you use ?

ACOG is in a Cogburn Arsenal mount. Had to grind the stripper clip guide a little to get the ACOG low enough. Works very well though.


Can is a Huxwrx flow TI. I added an adjustable gas valve and with the flow through can design I’m not seeing any issues with cycling or gas in my face.

Damn it!

I just ordered my new hunting rifle. I was going to wait to see if I drew tags this year, but I found a deal that was too good to pass up.

With all the landscaping crap I'm doing though, the costs are piling up....meh.... that's tomorrow me's problem.

Benelli Lupo in 300 win mag is on its way now! I know it's not for everyone, but I really liked the ergos and the rifle is plenty accurate. Can't wait to try it with my suppressor!
