Very NICE!... How's it run? .... Do you like the Trijicon MRO?

ahhh Mr. Smith.   Soon as I take care of some things and get back in town....I'm so tempted to get a Mtn. Bike & did a lot of Mtn bike riding in my much younger days in CO ...., but working a few years in MD at a shop has almost pretty much ruined me.  No matter how great the deal, I'll always know some of those prices are still so high.    Sigh, at least I got some great accessories, goodies, and well 2 bikes left from my time in the industry... I'll let cha know if I do get/ build ?  a Mtn. bike though, maybe we can do some 'riding.'.... for now, the 'road' still calls me out all the time.  Giddy Up!    Nice set-up btw (on your new ride)

welcome, Sir, been watching your vids for a time now.  Hope to get some training with y'all soon.

I've used and fired about 500 each of the 147gr Ozark without any issues.  500 thru my 16" rifle build, and 500 thru my pistol build.  I don't have a suppressor, but I dont' see any problems with the ammo. About 2-3" @ 100 1-2" @ 50 yards. (thru the rifle) sub 1" @ 25 yards with rifle and pistol.   Good reliable ammo for the range and practice.   Corrected per wrong distance and MOA information.  WarPig I hope you got the jist of my previous post on accuracy. 

I got the Rem 700 SPS with the 20" barrel and 1:10 twist.... .5 & some .4" groups @ 100.  with Federal GMM 175gr.  So, my SPS likes 175's better than 168.  I am reloading with similar results. 

That, or since its threaded, a good muzzle break will help out a lot. 

congrats!  if that's anything like the Savage 'hog hunter' 308.  get that limbsaver buttstock pad right away!

Have 2 of them on my AR's with UTG pro buttstocks fit nice and tight. Design is incredibly simple, don't know why other companies haven't adopted this design. Light and simple! I really haven't found any problems whatsoever and operates just as good if not better than my Magpul MOE, CTR's, and my Vltor's There has been some 'talk' about how the 'hook' can snag on your plate vest or rig, but I don't wear either on a regular basis so its not a problem to me at all. (if it really bother's someone I've seen them run 550 cord to make the 'triangle,' to make it snag-free.

Again it kinda of depends on what your doing with your AR.   If your doing more target and benchrest stuff a good 2 stage trigger at a great price would be RRA NM.   I have 2 geissele SSA-E, a CMC drop in, hiperfire, RRA NM 2-stage, and a standard single stage AR trigger, and I use each one for different purposes.  That being said you can always get use to a standard single stage trigger, but the geissele's, ar gold, timney and other triggers are definitely more refined in break, reset.   I never get enough rounds down range anymore so my trigger control and timing improve with these upper end and cost triggers. That said the Geissele's are nice solid triggers, and you get what you pay for.

Yep carbine and pistol length... thanks Dolomite!.... ya, got it confused with my 5.56 rifles. ....since I didn't have either in front of me when I posted.    

I have 2 built up (midlengh & pistol), and find more ammo and accessories, barrels etc. for 300 blkout these days than in the past 7-9 months.  With that said, I do reload from my spent 5.56 casings, which makes my ammo costs about the same or sometimes a little less than .223/ 5.56 these days.    Its a caliber designed for a specific purpose/// and since I use my .308 bolt action for long range, and 90% of the time don't shoot past 200 yards... the 300 blkout has been excellent shooting and fun caliber to play around with in set-up and reloads.   O boy, now if the .375 Reaper might make some way in i'd choose to reload and shoot it for some of the same reasons I choose the blackout.

    That's what its supposed to be competitive with, but like the .223/ 5.56 with 300 blackout,  I can cut down some .308 so same fun concept...( same AR mags/ different barrel and bolt).... heard .458 brass can get expensive too...   and there's some things that are just uh.  'attractive'  the look of it, maybe performance, and come on!... the Name...  Reaper Reaper Reaper!!!!

GREAAAAT..... I hope this works out.... that way I can spend MORE $$$ :squint: on reloading it... :drool: :drool: :drool: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/06/27/another-new-ar15-round-375-reaper/

I think Gallatin and Hendersonville P.D.  already have one of these vehicles. (MRAP)  Just say'in

Midway USA ---Gorilla Ammunition 300 AAC Blackout 147 Grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail Case of 200.   $194 on sale right now.... FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $150.

300 blk got me into  reloading... but yah.. that's one wicked looking bullet, might try some just to see how well it'd work.  thanks for the head's up.

Running one for awhile thru my 16" AR gas build.  It to me, makes it feels like a piston gun.  It is quiet, I like it for a 'regular 16" gas AR.    I don't know how'd it run at all in an SBR.

Yep  I think,  Kilo guns put together a nice gun and box package in 'tiffany blue.'   Nice sales idea.

I'm going to 'trust' Rex reviews on this one.  I've seen a ton of his vids and he's pretty sound guy...especially for long distance shots and knowledge and science.   That being said, I can't even see 500-600 yard target well without an magnified optic so.... pretty incredible shot with a Mosin, second shot or not.

  that's the one I have.  I like it.  It has a consistent pull once set.  I set mine @ 3lbs.  I have a different hand hold on my B & C stock so I'm just trying to pull straight back on the trigger. All in all I like the Timney trigger, easy to install and set-up.

Met the owners at a trade show.  Good guys.  Got one for my Glock 19, and it works pretty well.  I don't carry my 19 all the time anymore, but great thing is their simple and work well IWB, and as a clip in holster for the inside of a car door.

Mine was on the list, but I've already changed the trigger to a Timney trigger a couple months after I got my 700..so all is well.   In fact the only original parts I have of my 700 are the receiver, bolt and barrel. :up:  Thanks for the heads-up.  

I carry the Shield daily. Shoots great! Just put it side by side with the XDS.  Well dimensions are not really noticeable though they both feel different in hand.  Shield has a lighter trigger to me since the XDS recall. To me I found the front sight quicker with the XDS, but its nothing that can't be modified with the Shield.  Both pointed naturally to me with both having a higher sight picture till I adjusted my wrist but that maybe only because I need more practice.  That said, a Shield to the gun 'stable' has been a good thing from my experiences.

Geezzzz ... get some!   All the guns are on sale at D&T Arms in Goodlettsville.  Saw some great deals!
