I've looked through some of the previous posts about problems similar to mine, so I apologize if I'm rehashing an issue, but this is just different enough (to me anyway) to post it. I apologize in advance if I'm being repetitive.
And I need help.
Earlier this year I ordered, and received a Rock River LAR-BT3 in 6.5 Creedmore. Its intended purpose was to start PRS competition, since my son works with a guy that competes. The rifle is kept stock, except for a Vortex scope, and some weights for proper balancing.
I use only factory loaded ammo, since I don't have the time or patience for reloading. I've used Hornady 140 Match, Berger 144 Match (currently my choice), and Winchester 140 Match. I used Ammo Inc 140 Match for initial scope sighting to 200 yds (cheaper).
We were getting used to the rifle's performance at various distances, had shot about 400 rds through it, when we noticed a primer fell out of a fired case. The next few times it started happening more often, and the ejected cases started looking worse. That's when I started to try different factory loads as described above.
The signs are of EXTREME pressure. First I thought there was a carbon build up ring in the barrel/chamber. After a thorough chemical cleaning (left plugged barrel sit overnight with solvent), manual cleaning and rechecking I tried again: symptoms did not change.
Fast forward to experimenting with adjustable gas block, and more cleaning: nothing changed. Adjusted the gas block from full open to where it failed to extract: no real change. The fired brass was VERY difficult to manually extract with the gas closed off. I put original gas block back (since it worked fine in the beginning).
My last range outing for testing after ANOTHER thorough cleaning only showed me the problem is actually getting worse. Every ejected case is now missing the primer, and the rims are bent. Also noticed that accuracy has fallen off, from sub MOA to over 1.5 MOA. There's some damage from what I assume is the ejection port on the neck of the fired brass.
I should also note that I can easily chamber an unfired round with a gentle finger push, and the unfired case will readily fall out if I tilt the barrel and gently tap the rifle butt on a table.
I've tried reaching out to Rock River, but they're not answering my emails. The time I called and spoke with someone from Tech Support, they basically blew me off, blamed ALL the factory ammo as a "common industry problem", and "probably a dirty chamber/barrel". It really was a very insulting tone and conversation, so I thanked them for their time, and let it go. It seems I'm on my own here with an almost-new, expensive, non-functioning gas gun. If anybody knows who else to contact at Rock River Arms that would listen, that might help.
I'm expecting a set of Forster gauges tomorrow to check headspace. As to why headspace would change in a few hundred rounds, that's another question.
Anybody out there who can possibly help? I'm attaching a couple of pictures. You can also see neck damage on ejected brass, though it did that from the first day, before the over-pressure signs started.
Any answers are fully appreciated.

I wonder if the slut was shopping for an age appropriate outfit of a First Lady instead of trying to look like a teenager.

Too bad her SS didn't treat a gunman setting up on a roof to shoot Pres. Trump with the same rudeness.

What’s the general opinion on the best optic you can “typically find” for under 2500$. We are NOT talking MSRP. Not from a dealer. But if you hop in a buy/sell/trade page, or a classified section: a scope you can usually see for under 2500$ pretty regularly.

Kahles 525i
NF ATACR
MK5
Gen 3 razor
XTR pro
XTR3
NX8
???Others????



Not interested in the “save a little more money” and get a way over 2500$ scopes. Cause yes, I’d get a S&B, tangent theta, or a zero comp. That’s not what I’m looking for.


Under 2500$, typically found in a used market. What’s the best.


Considering price, quality, warranty transfer, warranty in general (vortex the best?) Mount options, Etc. Let’s see your opinions. Feel ALOT of people wanna see this thread.

New hiccup for me, hopefully it’s a relatively common occurrence.

BLUF; consistent sub moa 100 group. Very inconsistent hits at 1000. Stand deviations around 12 and acceptable ES. 2 moa target at 1000 (20”)

Any thoughts on where to start for trouble shooting?

Set up: vortex viper 5-25 properly torqued
Aero Solus action
Aero 6mm creed barre
Trigger tech diamond
Krg bravo
Berger 105s H4350

At 1000 I’d be 4/10 for hits on 6 creed and 6.5 I’d be 9/10.

Wondering if anyone has ever had a barrel that just wants to be a 100 yard barrel lol

Always considering myself as the issue but I will also point out I swapped barrel on same action to 6.5 proof and was consistent with it, same targets same day etc


Swapped barrel back and still very inconsistent hits. Also tried 6 creed barrel on another action with no change.

Thanks for any advice

As there must be major happenings going on, about the arrests of the S/M kings. The powers too be can't stand this much light that self thinkers already knew about, but the public in general could not grasp, the game is changing. Guessing he believes if Trump gets in, his life will take a turn for the worst, hence coming clean now,...?

Because fuck illegals and filthy commies.

Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 Mil-XT Riflescope C632

New, never mounted not looking for trades. Was going to put on a .22, I’m clearing a lot of stuff out now.

$1500 shipped

ZCO 5-27x56, MPCT 2, 15 mil (locking elevation) in great shape. Glass is clean, comes with Aadmount accessories and the box. There’s a chance the S/N on the box isn’t the actual of the scope…I have multiple scopes.

Fuzzy picture of lite reticle is the best I could do to show it functions.

SOLD shipped/insured.

First I’ll take, NO TRADES, PP (F&F) or Venmo only.

New Manners TCS in Altus sage flats matte camo. Comes with sikes clutch rail and knob, 1 butt stock weight, and 2 arca rail weights.

Was going to build on this but a sweet deal on a foundation just popped up. Lucky you.

$1575 shipped
PP F&F

Trade:
Foundation MG2 impact 737 black with arca rail and Hawkins M5 or Foundation Samson MG2 grip impact 737 black or dark with aluminum inserts/arca rail

New to PRS and looking into 2 specific brands of actions for a 6mm dasher build. What are the thoughts and opinions of you folks on the Terminus Zeus vs Impact Precision 737R actions? Thanks.

Well, I have some Titanium brakes and Ti mounts on the way, so I go to remove one of my steel- YHM- phantom mounts from my Nomad Ti, and that thing will not budge. It has nothing accept possibly some copper antisieze on it (though given the situation that's doubtful).

I tried heat, I tried putting it in the freezer. I don't want to mess my can up but I'd really like to get this thing off. Sending it back to Dead Air is a no go for obvious reasons.

I guess I need to invest in a good strap wrench? My last one broke and I haven't replaced it so, if that's in your suggestion, what's a good one for this purpose?

Any help would be much appreciated.

The good old YouTube algorithm brought up an internet gun fails video as I've watched several over the last year. This one is pretty typical moron-level shit.

However...please tell me that the guy shooting the frigging AK into the dirt next to the students isn't Rob Ski from the AK Operators Union and Vintage Rifle Shooters Club YouTube channels.

Maybe I'm seeing and hearing a doppelganger. I damn sure hope that I am.

Watch from the 6:35 to about the 7:40 mark.

Did I just hear that right? That Kamala talked about "Strength through Joy?"

Either she is brain dead (my bet) or they are literally invoking their true colors as Nazi Fascists.

Doesn't anyone know what the "Strength Through Joy" organization was? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

The NSDAP? Which took over every organization in Germany in the early 1930's? And actually made a rather nice people's car favored by Hippies... but also turned about 10 million people into air pollution.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. These people are telling you what their plans are... just as clearly as the screwball Austrian Corporal failed-painter did in his "My Struggle" bullshit book. He told the world what he was going to do. The world ignored him.

Kamala literally just adopted the slogan of the Nazi Party. I tend to think it's because she is too busy sucking cock to open a history book. But then again... crazy like a fox. Millions of 'voters' so brain dead (or literally dead) that they will still vote for her. Maybe they are so confident that they are just saying "Screw all of you.... we're going to throw this crap in your face and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Wow.. back when I was getting my history masters... they talked about how historians end up as sort of Cassandras. I am now getting the picture!

Cheers,

Fresh build, so I haven't shot it yet. But I saw a post on Reddit where someone was experiencing something similar, so I decided to check mine out closer. Is this normal? I reached out to LPA today but figured I'd ask here too.

When closing the bolt, there's a prominent click/detent part way through the cocking action. The firing pin does drop forward a bit and the bolt shroud kind of jiggles/rotates suddenly. After that point, everything seems normal. No slam fires. Firing pin and trigger seem to function fine. But I've not experienced this in other firearms.

Is it a function of how the Fuzion was designed?

Trigger is Bix'n Andy Tacsport Pro with standard sear.

We have a Hunter Diagnostic coming out asap, the draft is up, here is a sneak peek at the 1 Box hunter diagnostic

RifleKraft Hunter 1 Box Diagnostic
This guide is designed to help shooters determine the maximum effective distance at which
they can reliably hit a target of a specific size. The Hunter 1 Box Diagnostic focuses on
measuring the shooter's fundamental consistency, wind reading and variability, stress, and
accounts for some ballistic uncertainty as the cone of fire extends to further distances. The
calculations presented here are not simple extrapolations from a group shot at 100 yards or
based solely on the wind conditions on the day of the test. Instead, they provide a
comprehensive approach to evaluating likely hit or miss scenarios under various
conditions.

This diagnostic tool can be particularly useful in hunting situations, where ethical
considerations are paramount. By assessing kill zone sizes for game animals and
determining an absolute maximum no-shoot distance, hunters can make more informed
decisions, reducing the risk of injuring or missing their target.

Step 1: Paper at 100 Yards
Shooting Positions and Sequence
Perform the diagnostic from the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the
hunt with the same equipment and ammunition. Follow a build-and-break sequence for
each shot to simulate hunting conditions.

Build and Break Shots: Shoot from the three most likely positions you anticipate using
during the hunt—three shots each, totaling 12 shots.

On top of this Weatherby has been supporting the site and recently we were using the Weatherby 307 in 6.5CM, but soon we'll be looking at the Alpine models for the site.

The Alpine CT https://weatherby.com/store/model-307-alpine-ct/

And the Alpine MDT which is what I like for a hunting stock

Alpine MDT https://weatherby.com/store/model-307-alpine-mdt-carbon/

What are you doing to prepare, what caliber / cartridge will you be shooting ?

Looking at a 6CM and reading about people keeping at 3000 or just under and increasing barrel life some.

Is it the same concept if I were to load a smaller bullet like a 85gr to get up to 3200 fps vs pushing a 103-108 at the same speed?

I’m not sure if it’s the velocity that’s killing the barrel life or the pressure?

I did a search and the newsest threads are from like 2020.

What do you guys recommend for cams? I got some property in WV I used to hunt as a kid, that got passed down. Its 6 hours away so we would like to set some game cams up to monitor the wildlife and anything else going up there. The top half of the property according verizons map gets LTE data.

Between all the game cams and the different plans its kind of overwhelming. Do you guys have any suggestions for reliable cams with LONG battery lives (we may only get up there once or twice a year.

Change my mind...

Is this a real company? https://www.powdervalley.com/
They have the same website name as the real powder valley but it's actually called powder valley outdoors. I did a web search and found some other forum threads but the people obviously have a reading compression problem. Every thread about it the OP clearly said PV Outdoors and everyone assumed they were talking about the regular powder valley.
