Hey guys,

I'm just starting to put together my list for my first bolt action rifle.

- I'm looking to stay under 2k. If I could do it for 1500 that would be perfect - that way with glass and bipod I'm in the early 2's
- Very happy with used parts if necessary to stay in price point
- I shoot mainly at 1 - 200 yards but am looking to build something I could fly west with and start taking to long range classes
- Ideally sub .5 moa at 100 yards (My WOA barrel 223 AR can do sub 1 moa ... looking for something significantly better)
- I just converted my LMT MARS-H to 6.5cm and would like to stick with this round for purposes of ammo stocking

I've been looking at things like the tikka t3x tactical, Remington 700 , Ruger precision rifle, but its a lot and I thought I'd come here to gain some good dope to start with.

other than the above, go wild. I'm down to collect an action, barrel, trigger and chassis all separate if I have to - but it would be nice to buy something I can shoot now and have an upgrade path later.

thank you all for putting up with me ;-)

I can't say that I am surprised in the least. Does not bode well for Kash either.

As the story is told [SEE HERE], and it aligns with every scintilla of researched data on the darkest and deepest elements of the Deep State, DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard has reversed her position and will now support FISA-702, the warrantless searches of American communication and electronic metadata.

Apparently the FISA process and the 702 aspect (specific to American citizens) is the line in the sand the Senate Select Intelligence Committee has drawn. If Tulsi Gabbard does not support it, her confirmation is in doubt. As a result, she has reportedly reversed her position and now supports it.

This is also a big part of the reason why the DC Deep State will easily confirm Kash Patel to be Donald Trump’s FBI Director. Kash Patel is a big believer in the value of FISA-702.

With the New production, research and development Facility being built I am eager to see what shot show 2025 has in store. Of course the Meostar R series was released last year but I'm still not seeing it for sale on this side of the pond. Would love to have the 4-24x56imm personally.
Also have noticed a huge new line of optics called the Meoforce DF series for tactical/military application including three prism scopes, red dots, and five scopes that i can't even find pricing for. Visually the look like revamped meostar ZD and TAC scopes of which I own a ZD 4-16x44imm which is an INCREDIBLE optics for $1500 retail. Personally did not pay close to that haha. In the force DF line is a 5-30x56imm that is 100% new in terms of Specs and Visuals, being their most powerfull and heavy
Scope to date. Looks veeery appetizing.

If anyone has more "in the know" information i would love to hear about it.

Gents,
Your choice, $300 + $30.00 shipping. All are GTG. No issues. I just accumulated these over the past few years. All were rimfire mounted. What you see is what you get. First to PM me that you are taking one, gets it. The coated scope is just Krylon. It was picked up by me here on the hide so I'm the second owner.

Thanks for looking.

Darryles comment in the quit smoking thread got me thinking that we should have a giving up booze thread too.

Ive been thinking about giving up beer for a while now, but havent committed yet.

Whats your story?

This morning Nvision posted a photo of a scope on their instagram and it looks like a new thermal from them. See photos below. The ocular lens is different and something on the right side of it. Maybe a focus? The range finder was also different. looks to have a button on it? @Max_R any input since cats out of the bag? See photos below.

Just saw a video of the Boston Massacre where British regulars opened fire on colonists because some kids threw snow balls at them. One killed a few injured- but what really sent the colonists over the edge was the fact that the man who ordered his regular ms to open fire - spent the night in the brig. That was the sun total of accountability.

So with that in mind


January 2023 this guy driving extremely fast ran over a graduate student and killed her and he’s heard laughing and saying she had no value ?

Well so 2 years later his only accountability is that he was fired this week from that department.

Because fuck the colonial peons when kings men are in a hurry .

Looking to put a Octane 45 on a Lage 9mm Mac upper threaded 1/2-28

Would like to use a 3 lug

Does anyone make the male 3 lug in 1/2-28 that would fit a 45ac03 lug can ?

Need a little help deciding what loads to pick from on the ladder test. I’m thinking 44.5-44.8 gr varget in .1 increments to find the winning recipe?

REM700
1:12 20” factory barrel
lapua brass
WLR primers

No exactly sure where to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently, the decision came last night. The justices voted 5-4 to deny, with Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney Barret siding with the liberal justices to deny. Therefore, he will be adjudicated/sentenced this morning at 9:30am and, officially, become a "Convicted Felon."

This is going to be interesting. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Trump takes the "Oath of Office" on the 20th from Roberts himself! Will make for some interesting small talk on that dais! That is, if Roberts actually does it! I wonder if Trump will insist on a different justice (Thomas or Alito) if he can.

Second, what will be the fallout from all this? Will "unfortunate things" start to happen to Judge Merchan or DA Alvin Bragg? Or any others involved? I mean, I'm sure Trump's legal team can get the case reversed and dismissed, no problem. But for that "stain" of becoming a "Convicted felon..." will there be any "retaliation" against those doing the "staining?"

Hmmmmmmm..... Break out the Popcorn!

It's getting interesting out there.

I've had a bit of a run at things on this topic myself. Presently I consider myself an "former" cigarette smoker & dipper but I still have my momentary relapses. Other than that- I still enjoy the occasional cigar (which I absolutely refuse to give up completely) and I'm also a regular pipe smoker these days (imagine how that comes across here in 2025... but hey I've always did things my way).

I imagine I started smoking cigarettes as either a freshman or sophomore in High School (things were a bit different then, not exactly "accepted" but a blind eye was often turned by our 'elders'). In a lot of ways, I'd reckon that I started smoking (1) because it was still socially acceptable (if you went to a restaurant you would be asked smoking or non-smoking) and (2) most of the elders I looked up to (almost exclusively WWII Vets) all smoked like it was going out of fashion and on that matter (3) smoking was still very much a common thing on TV as well.

In a lot of ways- I did things... I'll say differently as I was all about the menthol cigarettes at the time. I'm pretty sure I started smoking Marlboro Milds (the blue pack years before legislation came down to alter how cigarettes were labeled). I eventually moved to Marlboro menthols (full flavor/green packs) but took a side route into smoking Camel Turkish Jades.. I still think about those even though they've been discontinued for likely over 20 years now.

At that time, it was fairly common to see gas stations offer "buy one-get one" type of deals and I ran the gamut I'd suppose. I loved my Turkish Jades and also Marlboro Menthols- but would often take advantage of the deals and would smoke Kool's, Salem 'Blacks' (they had a cool pack that slid sideways), and also Parliament's (the smoke with the recessed filter). Occasionally I'd smoke Newports (hey I went to HS in the inner city and sometimes that's all that was available). But primarily Camels & Marlboro's were my thing. Camel also came out with 'premier' type of smokes that came in a tin rather than a cardboard box and they had otherwise exquisite/other worldly flavors in that line for a short time before that got shut down by the government.

After HS, I somehow got introduced to dipping and supplemented my smoking with dips, at the time Kayak (I remember that being one of my first cans), but also Shoal & Grizzly (want to say peach was my preferred flavor there, but also enjoyed green apple). There was a berry blend (I seem to remember it being from Skoal) that just gave me absolute heartburn so that was short-lived but there was also a vanilla type of blend that caught my fancy. I also was smoking "cigars", quotations being that they were swisher sweets/Philly blunts/etc.

Shortly afterwards- I got lost navigating college and found myself wearing a uniform because (believe it or not) I was afraid I'd miss being able to participate in the 'war' that started after 9/11. I remember going through BCT & AIT and not being allowed any tobacco and it being hell but after months without it, as soon as I was able to, I went back into it without any reservations.

My 'tastes' had changed somewhat though- I now was enjoying non-menthol cigarettes (primarily Marlboro Reds & Camel Filters) and when it came to dip I was all about the Copenhagen (would argue with others about the 'born on date' on the cardboard half of the can, and we'd get it so fresh/like within a week). That was some good stuff there.

Most folks that were also wearing a uniform seemed to gravitate towards the snuff but I never could make that work for me so I was primarily a 'long cut' guy (at least until Copenhagen briefly introduces their 'black' line that was mid-cut which I also enjoyed the hell out of.

Eventually I deployed and got what I was chasing after and dip became a crutch just to stay awake often times. I was also fully exploring chew- I remember before enlisting trying mail pouch tobacco which was just 'bleh' but Levi garret & southern pride (?) that was some tasty stuff there (and inexpensive). While deployed I was also introduced to 'good' cigars, real cuban long leaf type and that's where I fell in love with those/quality cigars in general.

Fast forwarding- I had enough of wearing a uniform and got out when my contract was over. I pretty much gave up on the chew (mainly because my situation had changed) but kept up with the Marlboro's/Camel's & Copenhagen. I eventually started dating locally and as odd as it sounds- I quite literally accidentally 'gave up' the Copenhagen because the lady I was courting didn't care for it and I was rather smitten with her (I eventually ended up marrying her) but it was never an intentional choice to stop enjoying Copenhagen, just one of those things that happened.

Cigarettes however- that's a different story all together. Long story short- I've quit at least a half dozen times and presently I tend to stick with smoking a pipe regularly and having the occasional cigar. BUT- anymore, although I say I've quit cigarettes, at least 2 or 3 times a year since then I cave and just have to give into whatever stressor is going on and buy a pack or two. It's gotten a bit harder to resist now that Lucky Strike cigarettes are back (and I have history with those).

But it is what it is I suppose- but one of the things that shocks me is I know cigarettes were never all that amazing and were primarily just an addiction (same with the dip/chew) but I can go months without any of it but still dream about smoking/dipping/chewing. Just strikes me as a bit crazy.

Anyway- that's my cliff notes about tobacco- just curious if anyone else had any similar stories is all.

Hello everyone, My price Is very flexible send me offers if you dont feel my price is right.

I’m letting go of my PM2 Schmidt & Bender Ultra Short in MSR, paired with a Spuhr mount, due to financial reasons. I’m located in Orange County , Irvine , Southern California (92612), and my preferred method is a local sale. If local isn’t possible, I’m open to working with only reputable and highly regarded members of this community for an online transaction.

I never really got into long-range shooting due to financial constraints, so this setup has seen minimal use. I’m asking $2300 OBO with the Spuhr mount included. I’m also flexible on the pricing and open to working with serious buyers. If you feel my pricing is unreasonable, let’s discuss it—I’m willing to find a fair middle ground.

Payment & Shipping​

• Buyer pays the shipping label for online transactions.
• Due to being recently scammed out of $1350 via a PayPal chargeback on Reddit’s GATF, I’ve migrated to this platform. If needed, I can provide proof of my negative outstanding PayPal balance and dispute.

Trust & Verification​

I understand trust is a two-way street, especially as a new seller here. To build confidence, I’m willing to provide verification, such as:

• Address
• Hostage photo
• Any additional documentation you may need
  Recording of both Packing and Drop off, and whatever the else you need.
  My number, is 949 - 355 - 7781

I believe in open, honest communication to ensure a smooth transaction. My goal is to work with honest and reputable buyers who value transparency as much as I do.
