Firearm BS thread

That’s the “with scope” price, right? The Axis comes with a 3-9x40 Weaver. The Ruger comes with a 3-9x40 Vortex II. It’s a great scope. I A/B’d them at the shop during the rebate window and couldn’t decide. It wasn’t until after the rebate period that I decided to keep saving and go with the Ruger American. Also, the Ruger has a direct copy of the Savage trigger.

 

Welp I took my AR into a local shop for them to check the headspacing because I don't have a set of the gauges. It wouldn't even come close to closing on a "go" gauge, chamber was not made deep enough! Its a cheap unnamed barrel so I think I am just going to buy a new barrel for the rifle and move on.

The only decision is 556 or 6.5grendel.......

 

If given the opportunity, I'd go for the 6.5 Grendel!. everyone HAS a 556

 

In regards to our conversation yesterday about this, look at the post I put up today in the AR BS thread
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ar-15-bs-thread.27862/page-924#post-16862749

 

I'm looking into the grendel but the $ just keeps adding up. So far I'm looking at $80ish for the barrel, $100 for a bolt, gas system parts (my rifle has carbine length and all the 6.5 ones I've found are mid length or rifle) and then magazines and a new scope. Thinking I might just get a 556 barrel because then itll only cost me the $80ish for the new barrel and I don't have to get any other parts.

 

I actually watched that this morning!

 

I picked up the Glock 43 I ordered for my Future Son in law today. He came by after work and we went out back and ran a box of 9mm through it. I am not sure I like it more than my Glock 26 but it is a nice CCW pistol.

 

Can't have the manufacturer fix or replace it?

 

I'm going to call them tomorrow but I'm not gonna hold my breath. If they want me to send the whole rifle back on my $ I'm just gonna put a different barrel on it and not worry about it. If they will just exchange barrels or send me a new barrel then thats what I'll do.

Part of me is looking at this as an opportunity to put a nicer barrel into it

 

Get a quality barrel. Maybe spend a little extra and get a Larue. They are only $200.
Guy I shoot with has an 18 or 20" and can easily hit at 600 yards ( and has done 800 numerous times) with 77gr ammo.

 

Oooo boy! here we we go again with that whole Larue argument !

 

I have no brand loyalty with this so The bear creek barrels are guaranteed sub 1moa at 100yds and have good reviews, looking like a good way to go.

 

Put legs on my m&p15.

 

Grendel all the way. Starting to get the same numbers as 308 in a ar15 package is a no brainer.

Youre welcome

 

That Bear Creek Arsenal barrel I Fucken sweet! damn, you've wet my whistle!

 

Don't forget about ammo costs too. Reloading I would guess makes it almost a wash.

 

It is pretty bad ass.

 

Glad I could help
