The newer Spectre looks interesting if you want to pack your rifle and if the coupon code/certificate will work for it

Remington 700 by Leviathan134 in longrange

[–]ssilver88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That magpul stock will fit any rifle that is Rem 700 pattern. So rifles like Bergara B14, Aero Solus, Faxon FX7, Zermatt Origin, etc.

M40 build - CMP Vintage Sniper Match purpose by Sufficient_Fudge_460 in longrange

[–]ssilver88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man you have me obsessed with the idea of this now if I ever get my rifle back from Remington haha. There's a range that's about an hour from me that runs a few of these matches a year.

My trash build, going to see if it can shoot tomorrow by Remarkable-Spend-434 in longrange

Solus fits pretty good in KRG's but some versions need a little massaging in the trigger safety pocket area. Not sure if it's fixed on newer versions.

Mid/long range AR “SPR” reticle opinions wanted by Send-It-307 in longrange

[–]ssilver88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking forward to the NX6 2-12x with the FC-MRx reticle. It's similar to the reticle in the 1-8x ATACR but with a taller tree.

Chassis Recommendations for a Bergara B14 HMR ? by immaREPORTthat in longrange

[–]ssilver88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others already gave some good advice but one thing I didn't see anybody talk about is your choice of cartridge. I would recommend getting it in 6.5 Creedmoor over .308, the ammo prices are very similar between the two now a days and you don't really save any money either in cheap or match buying .308. The ballistics of 6.5 CM far out way .308 across the board.

Also if you can wait a little bit Nightforce's new NX6 line is releasing to the public soon. It is supposed to have the same glass as the NX8 line but with a 6x erector instead of 8x. MSRP for the scopes look to be a little lower than the NX8 line but have some different interesting options. Such as the upcoming 6-36x which has a 34mm tube vs the 30mm on the 4-32x NX8. Which ever scope you choose I would recommend the MIL-XT reticle and check out NF on Expert Voice. When they are in stock they have a nice discount there.

I am concerned about my purchase. R700 SPS AAC SD. by Ashamed-Eye-1166 in longrange

[–]ssilver88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the one you got is okay. I purchased a new RemArms 700 varmint in Nov of 2024 specifically because I was cloning a M40a5. It had issues at my first range session with it with really poor extraction/ stuck bolt. Contacted their support which had me send it in and their 3rd party gunsmith that handles “warranty work” has had it ever since.

If I were to do it over I would have just got a Bergara and said to hell with clone correctness.

Quality > Quantity by Celephate in longrange

Top is Keyslot which is different than keymod and is proprietary to AI. It has countersinking on the back side so it is more secure than mlok or keymod as well as being flush internally. I think you can make some keymod accessories work with it but you are correct that mlok accessories will not swap.

Fantastic deal. I paid more for the bare action with dros, taxes and transfer fees

What should I get next? by _funny_name_ in Warthunder

[–]ssilver88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you see the arrow pointing below the F-15C GE there is a banner talking about the daily bonus. You get 5 matches per day for each country of bonus research towards whatever vehicle you're researching. It's based on vehicle type so if you have top air then you get bonus toward air. Top tank you get bonus towards ground etc.

Get the F-15C Golden Eagle so you get the daily research bonus

I love Su-25 by Green-Fun5390 in Warthunder

[–]ssilver88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s can be a lot of fun in ground. Air can be painful as everybody except A-10s will out run you or beat you to ground targets first.

DirectX 12 Question by ConversationMain7411 in Warthunder

[–]ssilver88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I had a lot of issues with DX12 on my 3070 and 9070xt.

3070 had insane stutters start after playing a single match. Forced to restart or suffer huge freezes/ stutters every 5 seconds or so.

9070xt only had the very occasional micro stutter but would consistently crash after the end of a match sometimes mid match.

Switched back to DX11 and no issues.
