    My .308 has a 16” barrel 1:11” twist. It shoots the 151gr hp cast bullets well, only on targets at the moment. I need 6moa comeup from my supersonic loaf to zero the subs at 25”, still pretty much...

    0.5" is going to make a mouses farts difference. It could be 16.5" so what ever supressor they are using butts up against or very close to the forened. Any shorter and they will have to cut the...

    I have a VX6 and VX6HD. The HD seems to have slightly better glass, but the straight VX6 glass is still excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to own another one instead of the HD model for the price...

    There might be a difference in the way the glass is manufactured, but I suspect that because anything to do with optics these days is "High Definition", it will be just a marketing ploy. In saying...

    Last time I was hitting up with NZRAC, they said they will evaluate whether AR triggers are legal to be sold when Troy PAR landed. Not sure the latest news though.
