Well I demand to come second in the competition for SOCOM attractiveness (and first in the Bolt Gun category).

Yes you are second rikky, but wait till I join the competition and you might be reclassed as number 3 :-) (got a phone call from my gunsmith last week:-)

By the way you might be disqualified if you do not fit a sexy supressor on that fat barrel soon!

How about a first in each category? One for bolt actions and one for autoloaders?

Nice rig!

May I ask what buffer and spring you are running?

Do you find that you use the Paladin gas block's adjustment?

(I don't want to steal your thread or bore you with the details, but I have a much uglier suppressed RRA with a Paladin that I am having trouble getting to reliably cycle with very similar loads.)

Thanks.

Well the shooting session was a wash. I shot 3 shot groups with the 308/cyclone. After 10 different groups at 200 yards, I averaged 0.623. I'm absolutely thrilled with the Savage. The Socom started shooting terrible groups and not locking back on the last round. I changed from a heavy spring and light buffer to a standard spring and a hydraulic buffer. That fixed the lock back and rough brass, but not the groups. Today I shot at 50 with and without the suppressor. With = 4" Without = a cloverleaf with all bullets touching. I'm Going to try some different powders and check the speed on every thing.

The curse of the light barrel and heavy can?

Hey, it may be short but at least its fat.
