Older NightForce NXS 5.5-22x56mm vs. New Arken

I have a mid 2000's NF NXS 5.5-22x56mm Mildot scope (serial M03251). I'm the original owner. It came in a triangular box, but I can't find the box. It does not have zero stop. That's always been a bit of a pain. Sure, I could put tape on it to ensure it doesn't move in the case or in the field, but any time I want to click up, or have changed it in any way, it's always a guessing game remembering which graduations is zero. It's a mind-f$ck. There were people doing zero-stop conversions back in the day, but I can't find them anymore.

I'm considering just selling the scope and getting something newer with proper zero-stop and mil clicks instead of MOA clicks. I know it's a night force but it's also an older night force, so I'm not sure where things are at. I do have a 5.5-25 x 56mm Arken right now and it's pretty good, but I haven't had it long. The Nightforce is currently on a custom bolt action 243 Winchester and is mainly for sniping coyotes etc long range. I was planning to just stick with a 30mm scope. The 34mm Arkens are incredibly heavy and overkill in my opinion and I already have 30mm rings, so I might get one of the 6-24 x 50mm models. Opinions?

Also, if I was to sell it, what would it be worth. There are a couple of small ring marks from but it's extremely clean everywhere else and was mostly a safe queen. I also have Nightforce wings and badger rings, and NF 20 MOA tapered base I don't use now that I should probably get rid of. The scope is currently in Burris signature rings.

6gt ARC CDG and light primer strikes

Hi all,

I recently broke in a new 6gt build with an ARC CDG. First 20 shots were all factory Hornady/GAP ELDMs and ran fine. My next twenty were my first reloads in 6 gt. Virgin Alpha brass with CCI 450s, 32.5 gr Varget. About 7/10 in each row failed to fire. Light primer strikes. I seated the primers with the Frankford hand primer, though they tended to catch a little on insertion. I’ve since found that i was using the larger primer keyway in the tool with the small primer “ram” piece. I’m not sure if this issue is more related to primer depth or the incorrect tool configuration or something else. Any advice? I’d like to fix my reliability issue with as few trips back and forth to the range as possible since my opportunity to test is limited.



In the picture, the round on the left did not fire, but the right did. What does the rounding on the left primer indicate?

Firearms Full RIMX set up

Alright, really don’t want to sell, but realistically centerfire is my main gig. Bought this from training and looked to get into rimfire but I just don’t use it as I used too.

Full rig rundown
- RimX action
- Proof comp barrel 18 inch. (I ran it suppressed, no thread protector)
- trigger tech diamond flat face
- foundations Centurion w/ full length arca rail. (Some weights are also installed)
- Hawkins DBM
- Bushnell match Pro ED 5-30
- Nightforce Rings
- two mags

I may be willing to split. I want to keep it together as much as possible. Would be willing to split glass for now.

There’s about 540 rounds of ammo also included here. 500 unopened unused. This is also an older rimx. I have had no issues with it at all. Shoots amazing.

Shipped VIA FedEx to your FFL of choice

Primer Suppliers?

I have not purchased reloading supplies in quite a while. Normally I will stack deep essentials when the opportunity arises.

Specifically I am looking at adding more primers but I have noticed that prices are still elevated. I still have a stash so I am not in a hurry but it would be nice to top up.

Ideally I will buy CCI 400 and CCI 500 as my primary staples so those typically get preferable treatment. At first glance I saw some Magtech that were cheap but I have no experience with them.

My main question is which aggregation sites do you guys like to use? I used to frequent AmmoSeek but I'm not sure if there are others that I should be looking at as well.

Any other suggestions for places to frequent would be helpful. The regular ones like Midway, Natches, Powder Valley are on the list but I recently priced out the exact same product at one site vs another and for the exact same product one was over $50 more expensive even though they had a 'sale' going on and had free hazmat. In other words the regular price including shipping and hazmat at one site was cheaper than the sale price w/free hazmat.

Basically put it still seems sort of like a free for all as far as supplies go so I am seeking additional input from the peanut gallery.

Qualified Immunity in Texas


Gov. Abbott signed a law expanding qualified immunity to non-lethal weapons, such as stun guns and tear gas. And I would assume, bean bags, as well.

I know from plenty of the stories shown in this forum of cops exercising force against innocent people who were misidentified as a suspect. I think cops should be sued for negligent or incompetent behavior.

So, for me, this is a large fail for Gov Abbott.

What if they use the stun gun on an old man in a no-knock warrant at 5:00 am on an old man with a pacemaker? The man or his family should be able to sue and there should be legal consequences.

But often times, QI means immunity from lawsuits.

We get so tied up with immigration and constitutional carry and whatnot that we miss on something like this entirely and none of the congressmen and women seem to really be that worried about it.

R700 scope base suggestions

Little more retarded than normal…. I finally talked myself putting money down on an m40a1 clone from GAP. Unless I find the correct scope/base I am going to use a Leupold mark 4 hd4-18 scope as a place holder so I can shoot it/see what it can do.

I’m assuming the scope mounting holes are still using 6-48 screws.

I’m thinking just going with a badger base and rings but wanted to see what other suggestions are out there. Scope is big so I am worried about issues with base/screws.

Accessories MPA (Bix n Andy) single stage trigger (Rem 700)

This is Bix n Andy, MPA branded single stage trigger for Rem 700. It was in my MPA 6.5CR rifle, and I used it for less than 100 rounds. I have changed the trigger to two stage, hence selling this one.
Since it is MPA branded trigger, there is no Bix n Andy model number on it, the best I can tell, it looks like it is Bix'n Andy Remington 700 TacSport PRO - X, Single Stage, Top Right Safety, w/ 90 degree shoe trigger. gain, do your own research.

The trigger has small scratches on pain on the top which doesn't affect functionality in any way. A

Optics ATACR 1-8 FDE "Clone" - $250 shipped

I got scammed on a fake ATACR and this is what eventually showed up in the mail. This is a pretty good clone of a Nightforce ATACR 1-8 that uses a DMx-like reticle and appears to be of "decent" material and optical quality. It even comes with a set of Tenebreax/Nightforce branded scope caps (cannot confirm authenticity). It feels robust enough to at least be suitable for 223/556 use. The scope is in what appears to be new condition and will come as shown.

LINK to the manufacturer's product page.

Price: $250 shipped

No trades please.
