Clean it as usual then get yourself some JB http://www.brownells.com/gun-cleaning-chemicals/solvents-degreasers/bore-cleaning-paste/j-b-non-embedding-bore-cleaning-compound-prod1160.aspx After around 50-100 strokes of JB, if you still have pitting I would trash that barrel and get another one...

I would certainly be suspicious. What scope is on it? I'm not a CVA fan in the first place since they are cheaply made knockoffs of TC so I'd be doubly suspicious. Lots of folks love them and have good shooters. Lots of folks have had nothing but trouble with them and can't get better than a...

I have Geiselle triggers on all my AR's and absolutely love them. I have shot a few AR's (both 10's and 15's) with the AR Golds in them and I have to admit, they were pretty sporty feeling. Nice a crisp break and easily adjusted for weight. My next build may just include one since they are quite...

It's a pretty new bullet evt so it may be a bit before us experimenters are publishing some useful data.

As you said Dr T, the most important thing is shooter ability/confidence. We all have our favorites and virtually everyone you ask will have a differing opinion for the most part. For me, for whitetails, the 7mm-08 is probably the best whitetail deer cartridge ever developed. Whitetails aren't...

As far as "anti personnel", I'm not worried about a long range weapon for that. I have arms for SHTF scenarios for what I would need, close up work. As far as a 400 yard rifle for hog and deer, you would be fine with a 16 inch barrel as long as you yourself was capable of the shot. AA makes some...

Over the years I have watched several of DNS's videos. I've never seen him have a problem with his AR 6.5gren in feeding issues. My Dad and I both use the 6.8 SPC (dad is superhunt54) in AR's and I have found it about the best all around hog gun I have used out to 200 or so yards. Now he also...

With a standard contour barrel you wont lose anywhere near a pound with 2 inches off the barrel. around 6 ounces at most from a CM barrel. I personally would keep it at 18 inches at minimum and would more than likely have it at 20" for what you intend. As far as velocity loss, that depends on...

Since the 6.5 Gren was actually designed for the AR platform (based off the 6.5 PPC) I'd have to agree with the above statement. There are many offerings in the 6.5 world with excellent BC for that downrange punch. I personally bring out my bigger toys if I am expecting 300+ yard shots. While...

Don't know if you built your own or bought some junkers but your problems with AR's are rare. I have several AR/LR platforms that once tuned up I've never had a FTE/FTF from any of them except from a couple of bad primers which you get a few over the years. As long as you perform the proper...

Not to mention different rifling types and depth as well as the "slickness" of a barrel. Also, 99% of powders are burned by 9 inches in MOST 30 caliber barrels. Your smaller caliber barrels with larger cases (over-bored) tend to have more issues with unburnt powder in short barrels (not to...

It wasn't as much about the speed from barrel length as much as accuracy for ME. I tend to hold a little better off hand with a rifle a bit more front heavy. Most people do actually. Myself, my LR's are for range. I pull them out when I am expecting long shots on hogs 300yds+

Another option for you would be a build. You can come out spending less money for a better rifle. I just finished one in .338fed coming in under $1300 total for a rifle that would be well over $2000 if you could find a company using the same quality parts. Your uppers and lowers are pretty much...

I would also cancel. BUT I would also be sure to contact whatever bank your credit card is with and make sure to let THEM know that you have canceled the order. Some of the lesser reputable companies will still grab the money and make you fight to get it back. Especially since the order was...

I know you said "fixed position", but I had a PRS Magpul put on my AR 10. With it being adjustable, I found it very easy to set up to fit me perfectly. Not only for my LOP but also for my cheek weld height. I also think the slight added weight would benefit you greatly by balancing that .458 out...

I have 6 AR-500 rated plates that I have had for going on 8 years now. Countless rounds have been put into them from everything from .220swift to .300winmag. At ranges from 100 to 1500 yards. As Hammerdown stated, it is best to rotate them. All mine are bolted as well. Theres barely a mark on...

It's according to what you call "stacks of cash". Give us a price range that you can afford and some of us may be able to help you. In Kentucky, getting drawn on an Elk tag is pretty close to hitting the powerball odds. As snakeman stated, hog hunting is fun and relatively cheap in most states...

lmao smarty britches!

Add another 0 to that and you can have mine Robert :D

I can regularly hit my 24" steel at 1000 yards 10 for 10 on pretty much any given day with a couple of my .300WM's but there is a vast difference between hitting a non-moving steel target and a live game animal that can take a step at any given time. No amount of practice or skill can account...
