Rub one out in her honor…

I posted a thread a few months ago but thought I'd start a new thread regarding going from a 1-8 ATACR to a 3-18 scope for the tactical games. For reference I'm 55 and the eyesight ain't what it used to be. We typically shoot most of our stages with rifle anywhere from 50-100/200 yards and a couple stages out to 300-600. We also typically have one 2 gun type stage each day so an offset red dot is needed. All this varies per competition. A lot of guys have started going up to the 18x range with an offset red dot. Precision is a paramount as each miss is a 10 second penalty added to your total workout time. Advantages are you can see your target better and see your misses. With an 8x it's hard to tell if I'm missing and/or where I'm missing at longer distances. Ability to dial on certain stages is a nice option but most of the time I'll use holdovers.

As mentioned, I have an ATACR 1-8 and just bought an Athlon Helos 2-12 to try out. I like the Helos and the reticle but worried about durability and 12x. Because if 12x is nice 18x has to be nicer. lol


I think I have it narrowed dow to a few options:

Nightforce NX8 2.5-20
Leupold Mark 5hd 3.6-18
Burris XTRIII 3.3-18

Nightforce-
Things I like:
Form factor and weight
30mm tube (I have mounts already)
Durability
20x (although I probably won't go this high)
FOV is good
Illumination

Things I potentially don't like:
Tight eye box
No locking elevation turrets.

Leupold-
Things I like:
Form factor and weight
Durability
PR2 reticle
Locking elevation turrets
Proven- Elite winner uses this along with several others

Things I don't like:
Cost- I always feel like Leupold is overpriced.
35mm tube (have to buy another mount).
FOV is small
No illumination (extra cost and not available on PR2)

Burris-
Things I like:
Form factor and weight (not shortest or lightest but still acceptable).
SCR 2 reticle- it might be a little thin but I like the overall form factor.
FOV is good
Illumination and T illumination at center of reticle
Cost- almost half of the other scopes

Things I don't like: Durability?- not sure if it's durable enough for this type of competition
Turrets?- I've heard some complaints about these
Locking turrets?- I'm not sure if this has locking turrets or not
34mm tube- I don't have an extra mount for this but lower cost makes up for it


Any thoughts on these scopes for these types of competitions is appreciated. Or are there other options I've potentially missed?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a setting that I might change, to change up how difficult this site is to sign in to? My two examples are, that I cant get in on aicraft wifi because of some weird security issue, and, whenever I sign in from another computer, there's always some odd " Ut ohhhhh, you signed in from another ip address! Can you confirm it's you?"
Can I change some setting to avoid these things that I have never seen before on any other website?

I’m getting nothing but failure to eject. The bolt gets stuck at the top and if I force it, the ejector skips over the rim of the case and it fails to eject.

I have to grab the cleaning rod and hammer it out after each time. Problem is, I’m using a very light charge.

specs:
30 inch barrel + huxwrx flow through can
Defiance ruckus action

Lapua brass
300 gr 338 OTM
81 gr of retumbo
3.055 inches base to ogive.

Every time it gets stuck: as video shows (via YouTube)

Not sure what’s going on? I know I’m no where near max pressure. Case gets stuck even without suppressor on too.

So a felon is driving to surrounding states and buying pistols from other criminals.

They drive back home to resell the guns to other felons / gang members.


Will the Feds ever stop doing deals and not really punishing criminals?

Is this prison time acceptable?

Should he be held as an accomplice/ aiding and abetting all the crimes the gangs committed with the guns as he knew he was selling to prohibited people?

Any Concerns here? I have at least two Anderson lowers and my currently built AR-15 has an Anderson Lower. Works great. I think I also have an Upper or two as well.

Doubling down on my previous post tonight about "manly" things-

I'm finishing up on applying leather conditioner to my "fine leather goods" & one of which is my wallet in which I took everything out off prior to applying the leather conditioner... A handful of credit cards, insurance cards, and membership cards to places like the AL & VFW, my total amount of actual cash was a whopping $6. That's one $5 & $1 bill & that's all I had.

This is a bit "wild" to me because 20 years ago I would have felt absolutely naked if I had anything less than $200 cash in my wallet. $200 now is worth significantly less than it was 20 years ago and $6 wasn't much money even then either. But I really don't use cash these days...

Anywho- I'll have to hit the ATM or bank and replenish my cash reserves but the question posed is whether anyone else is surprised with how little cash they carry/use regularly as compared to what they used to.

Bullet (dodged) as police arrest this piece of shit who was prepping her 13 year old school-shooter-worshipping retard to take out a middle school.

When do we start re opening the asylums.

Let’s see… the kid probably gets counseling and his record expunged in less than 5 years.

Wanna bet he is in jail or dead before he is 25? How many does he kill before then?

Bet “mom” gets off as well. “It was all just fantasy and designed to help him deal with his urges. I never would have let him do it.”

Just watch the lawyers go all bleeding heart on how she is just a challenged single mom…. We have to let her off.

Wonder what the parents of the other kids in the Texas middle school think? The peers who “should” make up 100 percent of her jury. But won’t, because jury will be transgender furry Marxists who identify as social workers.

This shit just had to stop.

So ran some errands after dinner last night. Blue button down for Graduation Party, 511 and check . Top off gas in truck. Check . Stop for a 12 pack . Holy Mother a Homeless Crackhead ax juggling wackadoo .
I pull into the parking lot and Slotard the bicycle ridin clown is weaving in and out of lot traffic whilst flipping a hatchet in the air . K . I enjoy the show , find a parking spot and get out . Well our fine Crystal Methodist pulls up at Beer Distributor and dismounts hatchet in hand a fallipin . Guy is just hangin, effin with the ax and his bike next to the entrance. If I haven't clearly painted the Bob Ross masterpiece by know leh me
splain it. Mofugga looks not shelf stable , 5'10" and a buck fitty of unwashed Cray Cray .
So keeping Tueller in mind . For y'all non LEO that's , Stupid with a weapon can traverse 21ft and give you a makeover before you can draw . So I digress. I walk past keeping an eye etc . Low and behold Dumbass walks in behind me . In summation. Henry Longfellow Eisten buys a tallboy , goes out , cracks it open and proceeds with the ax show whilst owning the area . No one at this point goes anywhere near . After all the inexplicable evil and violence lately I decided to call 911 .
So I call and get the Queen of the ghetto. She doesn't have any idea of the location , street , cross street or businesses being described . She asked " is he bothering anybody "? Pretty sure I just explained it . So I just said hey , with all the crazy violence going on I figured I should call . Her response was a resounding " ahh muh gahd ", as if I was here toddler waking her up at 2am . How bout save your editorial and send a cop . You know the thing . You get paid for it . Ya know in between surfing your phone and tryna remember to breathe .
Funny if Skippy did go all Paul Bunyon on some suburban housewife local authorities would be bitchin that " no one called about an ax wielding lunatic" .

If I change the bolt stop and magazine to a 270 length or long, will it still feed? ie longer seated bullets. Has anyone done this change?

Anyone else heard or seen anything about this?

Looks like it's a pro hunter using the adjustable hardware like is used on the night stalker.

Hey all,

This is a first for me. Anyone have any clue how these marks got here? The marks are on the cases after having spent an afternoon dry tumbling in rice. I suppose it's possible they were there prior to going into the tumbler. However, I cannot recall me making that observation before. This is on factory ammo 6.5 grendel.

I also have other cases there from reloads that are tumbling in the same rice simultaneously. These other cases are 6.5 creedmoor and do not show any signs like that.

Any clues?

In the wake of the SIG P320 drama, there's been a whole bunch of these types of videos online.

Way too many.

Looking at what he's doing...



...loading the trigger on this particular Glock with a fastener does the following:



1. Negates the Trigger Safety (dingus)
2. Negates the Firing Pin Block
3. Negates the Drop Safety

What is the point of this maneuver, though?

In a loaded / cocked Glock with the finger off the trigger, safeties 1. through 3b. are doing their thing.

When "riding the reset," you negate 1. and 2., but safeties 3a. and 3b. perform their functions (well, if you’re really good - maybe only 3b.).

When tensing the trigger with that fastener, you're leaving the sear 3b. hanging by the skin of its teeth, something hard to do with your finger in practice because of that final “10% hump” (see subsequent posts below).

What exactly are these Glock videos trying to prove?

The action is a Savage 110
The stock is a Bell and Carlson
I added AICS bottom metal and Mag
The barrel is a FAXON M24 Contour Blank 27" 1:10 Twist

First I zeroed the barrel in the lathe and cut the receiver threads, then chambered carefully. I then cut the muzzle for a brake 5/8 24. I had to seriously inlet the stock to free float this barrel.

Out at the range today, the rifle is shooting the federal fusion tipped 180gr over 91.5gr of N570 into a single hole, 7 shot group all can covered with a dime. Seems this one is good to go now. Very low recoil, like shooting a 22 250.

My data shows 91.5gr (Max safe published load) of N570 is around 64k pressure but I see NO SIGNS, running a 180gr pill at 3300fps should be serious medicine for the dear this year

I am looking to trade this Anvil 30 ball head for the old model (Gen 1) that has the non locking release. This is in great condition. Has been used but functions perfectly.

To start this thread off, I'd like to begin this discussion with the topic of watches since that's what's on my mind.

Watches seem to be a "manly" thing and for reasons I'm not sure why. I've been digging into/researching this topic and the best explanation I'm finding is that men use watches as one of the few "approved" jewelry accessories that they can wear. Perhaps there's some merit to this but I'm not sure if this summation conveys why I'm personally interested in watches.


Just speaking for myself- I personally find it absolutely fascinating that we can wear such a complicated machine on our wrist which requires literally hundreds of small parts to work in unison to perform a function requiring absolve precision & accuracy. Precision & accuracy.. if there ever was a unifying concept to state with the participants here...

Personally- I've always held a fascination with watches. Not so much from a status symbol perspective but more so from a perspective that appreciates the precision of such a small device.

A few decades ago my first "real" watch was a Luminox Navy Seal model that looked something like this...



Good lord did I love this watch. It was my first "expensive" watch which took me months to save up for while working retail jobs (yes plural) and when my finances aligned I thought this was amongst the most amazing purchases I had made at that point in my young life. It was far from a luxury watch by other standards but it was amazing to me & what it represented for my income at that stage of my life.

It was an amazing watch too- quartz movement of course but tritium dials on the hands and that made it "special" to me then. I forget how many times I had to replace the batteries & straps because each part just wore out (I lived in that watch for years) but remember when it finally "died" on me and a part of me died with it. I got well over a decade with that watch, it spanned my entire military "career" but I rode it hard and ran it into the ground and it finally had enough. Certainly a sad day for me.

I limped through college with cheap (think Kmart Timex type of watches) but always missed having a "good" watch. Of all people, my little brother gave me one of the best Christmas gifts I'd ever received in my adult life... A Citizen promaster with eco drive aka- solar powered and I was once again smitten with a watch (not even that terribly expensive either). That looked/(s) like this...



Talk about a cool watch- the luminosity wasn't tritium but rather a high quality luminescent painting that doesn't have a "half-life". The watch was built "tough" and the strap contained kevlar if I remember right... I still have & love that watch. I'm still bitter that I don't have the exact same watch in the Black configuration.


Moving on- my tastes & budgets for watches has expanded & grown but nothing too extravagant either.



I picked up the above Timex for something like $30 6 years ago. I bought it as a "beater"/"throwaway" but god damn- that watch rocks and I'm still trying to keep life into it. The battery is presently dead as a doornail but I've got a pack of 'em coming to see if we can't breath some life into this "old" girl.

I'm getting long winded so to wrap things up... my latest acquisition is a relatively inexpensive but classic watch.. the Seiko "turtle" which is looks like the below & is an otherwise inexpensive option for an automatic movement driven watch.



I'm rambling now but to sum things up- there are some things "we" all like that are just inherently "manly". Watches have to be amongst that category. Not even as a flex/opportunity to drop 1,000's of $ on either.

Just on the discussion of "man things" there's certain products that just seem to 'strike that masculine chord' & amplifies one's testosterone while similetanously receiving olympic eye rolls from spouses and lesser lady friends.

I knew when I first heard some of the bold claims about the Geissele mrgg rifle that I was going to want one to try myself. When they started showing up at Euro and a few other places I went ahead and put an order in. Initial impressions were positive. Fit and finish is unreal. I personally think it’s a super sexy rifle.

Rifle ships in a nice pelican case with gun lock, manual, and a sweet beanie. Which brings up my first complaint. Give me a freaking magazine with my 6k rifle geissele. Yes I have plenty but it should be standard. Yes I understand ban states etc but literally every other company makes it work. Let’s start back to front.



STOCK-Ships with a Magpul prs lite. I honestly thought I would change this out. I like a short lop on my rifles but after shooting with it I believe I’ll keep it. No complaints.


PISTOL GRIP-I like the grip they use on their rifles and it will stay on my rifle. If anything I wish it was a hair more vertical. It fits the hand nice though.

TRIGGER- Comes with a geissele ssa-e trigger which is my favorite offering from geissele. No complaints.

RECEIVERS/CONTROLS- The receivers are machined beautifully. Like work of art beautiful. One complaint I have, and this is carried over with the gfr. They’re to tight. I like a tight upper/lower fit with minimal wobble. What I don’t like is having to use a plastic punch to pop the pins out to field strip. There is a spring loaded plunger in the lower that keeps fitment tight. Maybe a little less powerful spring would split the difference?


The left side ambi controls are great. I have zero complaints there. The right side is growing on me. The right side bolt release is pretty stiff but has seemed to wear in a little and I can now depress it with my index finger. I do on the other hand struggle to reach the dust cover which actuates the catch on the right side without breaking my grip substantially. With that said I have the hands of an 8 year old girl.



HANDGAURD- I love the handgaurd. Super solid and has a tab at the 12:00 that interlocks it to the receiver. Full arca rail with mlok slots on the bottom. Two steel qd cups that are positioned closer to the receiver and an included geissele mlok qd cups.








BCG- The bcg has nice machining and a slick finish. I’m a fan of the nano coating as it cleans up great and has a natural lubricity feeling to it. Bolt has dual ejectors and gas key has good staking. It appears the carrier has some sort of plug/weight? In the rear. Not sure what this is maybe someone will chime in with the answer on that.


CHARGING HANDLE- Comes with a nice Geissele charging handle. No complaints.



BUFFER/SPRING- The Mrgg uses geisseles super 42 braided spring and a h2 buffer.



Geissele advertises the barrel as “user changeable” (isn’t that every ar?) . Here’s the barrel nut pictured. The handguard screws are captured which is nice.



I struggled to get pics of this but the Mrgg has two sets of feed ramps. One in the normal spot that interfaces with the receiver and another set before the chamber. I assume this helps with bullets not getting deformed.

Now for the accuracy portion. All groups were shot from a bench. A bipod and rear bags were used for all shots. Upon getting the rifle I fully cleaned the bore and shot 10 rounds to zero and season the bore. A Schmidt 5-20 ultrashort was used in a badger comm mount. I want to also mention I tend to shoot much better with a suppresor. All these groups were shot with the hux brake.(haven’t decided if I want to order a hux flow or not)




Hornady 140 eld match
0.760 moa avg
Avg velocity-2485.1
Extreme spread-92.7
STD dev-27.1
Group 2 the 5th shot was the flyer. Unfortunately it still counts but I will say that shot didn’t feel good. I still included what the group would have measured as a note in the target.



Hornady 147 grn eld match
1.01 avg moa
Avg velocity-2587
Extreme spread-57.1
STD dev-13.4
It definitely seemed to like the 140s better. I was also a little fatigued trying to make y’all proud and the rifle was hotter. I noted two groups that I didn’t wait as long to shoot on between 5 rounds. Being a gas gun I wanted to see how it did a little warm.

I REALLY think this rifle has potential. Keep in mind this a chf chrome lined barrel! Geissele has their barrel making down. So far I LOVE THIS GUN. Will definitely pick up a 16 inch and 14.5 when they drop. I plan on shooting more when I get a suppresor mounted up. Will get some more factory match ammo options and post up results. I experienced no malfunctions as one would expect. It has a really nice recoil impulse that seems “slower”. I’d encourage anyone who has one to post your findings and results! If anyone has questions for wants info on something specific just ask!
