Ok guys I am a Bolt gun guy. I am looking to buy one or the other seekins SP10 6.5CM or Wilson Combat super sniper. I will be running this primarily for Predator at Night with my Pulsar thermal on top. I have researched high and low and really need honest opinions seeing as I know very little about gas guns. I know I want a quality rifle but tell me why one over the other?

Here's a big shout out to our brethren in Texas. More specifically Nacogdoches, Texas.

Don't watch the video if you don't like getting pissed off. I had some dealings in Nacogdoches a long time ago. More specifically, with John Fleming, the County Attorney.

You will note his appearance in the video several times. He's as sleazy as they come. It's nice to see him in some hot water for a change. It will be even nicer to see him behind bars.

BTW, I like Texas and spent many years in that great state. However, Nacogdoches is a place I stay clear of.

A couple of real gems as politicians...................

I ordered a custom action, and I'm just curious on your guys thoughts. The base of the bolt right in front of the handle is missing nitriding, and there is a scratch on the bottom of the action right where the mag would seat showing bare metal.

This is a new action, from a vendor. I don't want to put anyone on blast.

Not gonna affect function, however $1500 for just the action I suppose I had higher expectations on fit and finish.

Hi all,

It's been a minute since I've been on this site and after years of the tactical game, I've started down the rabbit hole of scout rifles and "general purpose" rifles. My scout game is covered with both a Steyr Scout and a Ruger GSR and I recently purchased a Tikka T3x Arctic which is a lovely beast. However, I found myself with a left over West German Schmidt & Bender fixed 4x scope that is amazingly bright and sharp and thus the hunt began for a host rifle for this scope.

Last week I picked up a .308 Tikka T3x Lite. 22.4" Stainless, 1:11 twist, synthetic stock, etc. My initial thought is to have it cut back to either 18.5" or 20". I envision this rifle to be a handy "ranch" rifle so to speak. I plan to drop it into a used CTR stock I just bought off eBay so that I have 10 rd. mag compatibility with my Arctic. With a fixed 4x I don't imagine shots over 300-400m. I found a reputable gunsmith in the area who will cut my barrel back, thread and even mount his proprietary muzzle brake (Scott @ Live Oak Accuracy outside of Dallas). However, because the barrel diameter being pretty thin to begin with, he'd have to thread to 1/2x28 instead of the more common 5/8x24 for .308.

So now I'm waffling on which direction to go. Should I simply have it cut? If so...to what length? I'm leaning towards 20" to keep it the same as the Arctic, but 18.5" is kind of the old school "carbine" length.

Do I have it threaded...and then have to live with a very specific muzzle brake (albeit a very effective and well made one)? If this option, I'm thinking 18.5" which would put the finished length at 19.75" or thereabouts. Scott did offer to make a thread adaptor which would allow me to use other muzzle devices, but I'm hesitant to use a can with a thread adaptor. But it does provide options for other muzzle devices, flash hiders, etc.

Then there's the piece about gambling with accuracy. The Tikka is guaranteed MOA...do I risk negatively impacting accuracy by cutting? I have faith in Scott's work and reputation but I tend to follow the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to life.

So, I'm torn...which direction would you go if faced with this dilemma?

I recently picked up at an auction a bolt gun. Literally one photo but decided I’d throw a risk out and put a bid in…I won. So it came and I’m trying to figure out just what the hell I have now. Looks to be a Surgeon action, McMillan stock and carbon wrapped barrel. There are no other markings on the barrel besides 22-250 REM on one side and Valhalla on the other. It has the appearance of a proof barrel and measures 24”. I’m trying to figure out without disassembling the rifle what the barrel manufacturer is. I can’t seem to find a Valhalla barrel anywhere and Proof won’t respond to my questions. Any idea?

I just built a new zermatt arms origin action. With a 26" 6.5cm proof research stainless steel 1/8 twist pre fit barrel. Head space is good. But when I shot hornady 140gr eld match ammo today the brass had these rings on them and I'm not sure with this means.?? Does anyone have an idea what this means? I also measured the fired brass and it was 1.534" to the datum line. And that I have some new alpha brass that measures the same so it the headspacing short? Or is that about normal what most ppl see?

I have a like new bushnell elite tactical dmr3 3.5x21-50mm with G4P reticle for sale. This scope was bought new, mounted on a rifle, and then removed when I sold the rifle.

I am wondering about the new Sako TRG 62 and similar rifles in 375 Cheytac versus something potentially in the 338 class like the 338 Norma or that new Swiss round. I run a 300WM now so, my next option is something larger for >1,000 yards that won't kick like a mule every time I shoot it. I will likely also get a suppressor for it. The M200 Interdiction rifle never did much for me nor did a 50BMG rifle which can be had much cheaper.

Is 375 Cheytac viable in today's market? Specifically, is it an obsolete caliber that will be hard to support? Or, I am better off with a hot rod 338 option? I expect to handload my rounds so, factory ammo is only viable to harvest brass assuming it is cost-effective to do so. 338's are probably a lot easier to source or fireform from something more common in the commercial market so, that is a thought for something else in terms of caliber. In any case, I would like to stay supersonic to at least 1600 yards with an appropriate load.

For the base rifle, I'd like to stay in the $12K range. Optics and other stuff would be additional once the base rifle is chosen.

So, is the 375 Cheytac really viable today? Or should I be looking at 338 options based on Lapua or similar brass "base" cartridges? I don't want to end up with something obsolete like some of my African Safari rifles. I also don't want to have >$20 per round in what I am shooting. $10 to $15 would be much better.

TIA,
Sid

Vice President Kamala Harris’s hometown paper, the Los Angeles Times, will not deliver a 2024 presidential endorsement.


The paper’s lack of an endorsement is a slight to Harris. The Times endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Barack Obama in 2012 and 2008.


The decision not to endorse Harris came from the paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shion, Semafor’s Max Tani reported Tuesday:

[A]ccording to two people familiar with the situation, executive editor Terry Tang told editorial board staff earlier this month that the paper would not be endorsing a candidate in the presidential election this cycle, a decision that came from the paper’s owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a doctor who made his fortune in the healthcare industry.
The paper did not explain its decision, though it noted at the bottom of its online endorsement page that “the editorial board endorses selectively, choosing the most consequential races in which to make recommendations.”
…
It wouldn’t be the first time since he bought the paper in 2018 that owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong had overruled the wishes of the paper’s editorial board. In 2020, the paper met with Democratic candidates for president for interviews with the intention of making a pick in the race. But after deciding to endorse Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic, at the last minute Soon-Shiong overruled its leadership and said there would be no endorsement in the primary race (the paper endorsed Joe Biden in the general election).

Click to expand...

After Richard Nixon won reelection in 1972 and then resigned from the presidency in the wake of Watergate, the paper stopped endorsing candidates. Throughout Nixon’s career, the Times had backed the California Republican throughout his House, senate, and presidential campaigns. Its next endorsement came about 30 years later in 2008.

Thats a good sign.

Unlike many, I like her.

Long story short:
I'm looking for a medium weight 20" 1/7 twist quality AR barrel and they don't seem to exist.
Normally the answer is turn key WOA, Craddock, or CLE [RIP], but not this time.
What are the options out there?

Details:
I'm building a general purpose 20" AR in 5.56/.223 that needs to be usable [weight wise] in the field. But it also needs to be accurate and able to shoot groups without heating up too quickly.
I'm going for something like an accurized M16A5 concept or lightweight SAM-R... So no flutes.

Criteria:
I need the barrel to be match quality, be under 2.75lbs, have a .750 gas block diameter, and I'd prefer 1/7 twist.
Everything I can find seems to compromise on one or more of my criteria.

This Lilja looks like the closest thing I can find, but I'll have to accept the 1/8 twist, which should be fine for 77gr pills, but I'd prefer 1/7. Also, it's a premium.

What else is there?

Let’s just say if this is true…..oh boy.

Any of you have experience with a Armalite AR10 in 308? Seen them come on sale for about $1300 and have been looking for another hog hunting rifle. This will serve as my dedicated nighttime hog hunting rifle.

My son had an interesting adventure over the weekend mule deer hunting. He broke the trigger guard and trigger while shooting at a mule deer (recoil slammed trigger guard into a rock he was laying over). What was fortunate for him , is that the gun still functioned after the damage shown, and he was able to put the finishing shot on a mule deer at 700 yards with the rifle. (Buddy was not hunting nor did he have a rifle).

It's not huge, but it will eat good, and any more, any deer in this State is a good deer (communist mismanaged state of WA). Department of No Fish and Wildlife, but I digress.

7mm Remington Magnum factory VSSF 162 Amax 71.4 grains Retumbo Fed 215.

It is the most tender liver I've ever eaten, and I've eaten a few in 50 + yrs of hunting.

Surprisingly, there was quite a bit of hydraulic damage, even at distance. I'll have to look at the ballistic program and see what the impact velocity was.
