How Big is TOO Big
How heavy is too heavy for you predator hunters?
Personally 15 pounds ready to shoot is my cap.
This includes surpressor, thermal and sling.
I know some guys like feather weight rigs….
But I like a little mass it makes the rifle much more forgiving to shoot in a rush and off a tripod.
Thanks for your input!
American Rifle Company: New Favorite!
American Rifle Company is quickly becoming one of my favorite companies. They aren’t afraid to do things completely different in the industry.
The barreled action in the photo probably looks familiar. It used to be in a Bergara HMR stock – it’s my personal rifle chambered in 22 Creedmoor. I pulled it from the HMR and dropped it into the American Rifle Company Xylo chassis.
First things first when it comes to a stock or chassis for me:
- It can’t have a bar/tube running over my thumb. Not interested. I’ve shot the old-school way too many years.
- The cheek weld has to be adjustable. With thermals, night vision, and large-objective scopes, this is no longer optional – it’s a must.
- ARCA is clearly here to stay. I don’t think we need a full ARCA rail on the forearm, but we definitely need it for the amazing modern tripods on the market. This chassis has a full ARCA forearm.
The wood grip is big (which I like!) and cut deep at the back, so the palm of my thumb doesn’t collect unwanted pressure.
AW mags? Absolutely. The only way to run .308/ Creedmoor cases.
Hopefully before long we’ll get the chance to chase some mutts with it.

God Bless,
Thoughts on AR10s with 22Creedmoor bullets?
Working on a SAFE permanent solution for the 22 Creedmoor AR10s bending tips. And feeding issues.
I have factory 80 Grain ELDX feeding in a AR without bending tips, hitting the back of the chamber or requiring a .200 chamfer in the chamber.
For all of you hunters and shooters out there what is then minimum round count you’d want in a 22 Creedmoor AR?
My thoughts is 7 rounds.
Please send in your thoughts and suggestions!
