Hope I can help a Brother (or Sister) out here. I have a Garmin Tactix 7 Pro Ballistics edition GPS watch. This was purchased on September 24, 2020 and was a daily wearer for me. Daily. All day, every day. The only time this watch came off my wrist was when it was being charged (about every 20 days or so). It has some, patina(?) for sure or as I would describe it, well loved. That said, it comes with the Applied Ballistics software and everything on the watch runs and functions perfectly. The sapphire glass crystal is in perfect condition. It includes the charging cable (plugs into any USB port) and the rubber strap (I never liked it as much as the nylon). I don't have the box and manuals are available online (can be downloaded in PDF format).

This watch was $1,399 new and they sell for $1,599 now.

New nylon straps can be purchased from Garmin for $129.99 if you want to replace it, rubber is $49.99.

Selling this builders set with a total of 50 rounds on it. Was used as a show piece for my Cerakote work at a gun show. Parting out the build.

Pictures show the whole rifle but what I am selling includes the following.

Aero precision M4A1 upper, lower, handguard 15" all parts and pins cerakoted in glock FDE, Magpul FDE pistol grip and charging handle. Also selling barrel and PRS Lite stock separately.

The barrel is a White Oak Armament Fluted 18" SPR barrel with a 223 CLE chamber if anyone is interested. Can Cerakote it a different color if wanted.

Please PM for any questions.

$300 shipped or make offer, would take trades for?

Thanks!

As long as forums have existed- the proverbial question has always existed... "what is the best hiking gun"? I think I finally cracked the nuances behind the decades old question. The pistol has to be light enough... It has to be chambered in a caliber capable enough... it also needs to be concealable. I think I've got it finally...

A S&W Shield (Gen 1 or 2) chambered in 40 S&W, loaded with 180 gr Nosler controlled expansion rounds is about as good as it ever will come with what's available on the market today.

If not paying attention to Mexico lately ? , I know I haven't, as I sick of the Cartel bullshit, Fentanyl murder here, and kidnapping extortion of friend of mine. I will never go back again. But I used to really like the Puerto Villarta area, and even got married at sunset on the beach there once. Years back that whole area was pretty sweet.

I just talked with someone today who just got back yesterday, and just a few miles N. of PO.Villarta, is Puerta Nuevo. The big buzz in PO.Nueva and Villarta is currently under construction, and the way my brain is wired I can't help think this is the Cartels own artistic interpretation of .. 'Disney Land'.
I mean you Got to invest-$$$ to Wash that money-$$$. So this ( just my opinion ) is the new Cartel Land for tourist and Mex.Laundromat .

I had put together a cheap truck gun last week that I wouldn't lose too much sleep over if it turned up missing for whatever reason, PSA 11.5 upper in 5.56 ,so it's a pistol , already had a lower pistol in 300blkout so just robbed that lower for now . So went to the range yesterday to test it for function , no problems , probably 60rds down range , used a Vortex spark red dot , New out of the box ,zeroed no adjustment at 25yrds ,that never happens for me , so we back up to 100 yds and I can't believe how hard it is to focus on the red site- in target , but squeeze off 5 rounds and had to walk down range to ck target because I forgot my spotting scope ,damn 6 inch group 4 inch high and 3 inch right , now I can see why Crooks missed his kill shot , all those other bodies behind Trump would have been a big problem for him to focus on Trump , I ended up sticking a black shoot n see 6 inch target on the red site in target and adjusted the optic and was able to shrink the group to 3 inch at 100 after some practice , of course this is with a 11 .5 inch pistol and not a quality barrel , but it does have a jewel trigger. I doubt I would ever need to engage anyone at 100yrds with the gun , if I'm that far away I'll just get away but it's nice to know you can if you have to .

MDT acc with internal and external weights will add a 2 rnd holder and dope card holder. Both are brand new from mdt.

During a police act tribunal decision on Wednesday, Toronto Police Service’s first black female superintendent was handed a two-year demotion after she admitted to helping black cops get promotions by cheating.
Last year, Clarke pleaded guilty to seven counts of professional misconduct after she admitted to playing a primary role in the 2021 scandal, where she leaked confidential exam questions to six black officers so that they could be awarded promotions that she believes they wouldn’t otherwise be capable of earning, due to, you guessed it, ‘racism’.
“I felt at the time that (the six officers) did not have a fair chance in this process and my own history and experience of racial inequity compounded this feeling,” Clarke wrote in a police report, referring to the cheating as “a desperate effort to level the playing field.”
The former president of the Jamaican Canadian Association, Audrey Campbell, made comments in support of Clarke, likening the corrupt officer to a “freedom fighter”.
“You can talk about fairness of systems. You can talk about the rules. No substantive change has ever been accomplished by following the rules that the system made…” “One man’s criminal is another man’s freedom fighter,” she said, minimizing the severity of Clarke’s corrupt actions.
Tribunal adjudicator Robin McElary-Downer ultimately gave Clarke a slap on the wrist by ruling that she only be demoted for two-years and have to reapply for her position as superintendent while simultaneously stating that Clarke showed a lack of honesty and integrity – values that are essential to the role she once held.
“Honesty and integrity are non-negotiable character traits of a police officer. Superintendent Clarke’s actions demonstrated both were absent.” She said
When speaking to reporters outside the Toronto Police Headquarters, Clarke stated that she was disappointed with the ruling and will be taking time to figure out what she will do next.

Clarke has 30 days to appeal the ruling.
This scandal highlights a glaring issue in the current age of DEI and Affirmative Action initiatives. When positions are filled not on the basis of merit but on identity politics, we risk a generation of leadership that does not possess the qualifications or capability to foster trust in our institutions.
Just remember, DEI = Didn’t Earn It

Those who benefit from such schemes are often the most threatened by genuine competence, exposing a profound flaw in the very foundations of these programs. This kind of behavior only serves to further erode society under the guise of ‘diversity’.

If yes, I'd love to have a conversation off-line. Another member here and I designed an accessory for the R1T, and we're looking for a few Rivian owners to post links to our website on some of the Rivian focused Facebook pages.

As the title says

I got bored and stripped one of my rifles down…

It’s 3.1kg (6.8lbs) empty with no clipazine inserted, and uses a pretty accurate 20” pencil barrel.

It’s more in line with the original M16.

I imagine that participating in an 800m 3 - Gun match would give me more insight…

…but truth be told, I’m just too old, fat, slow, and blind.

What optic combo stereotype’s popular nowadays for this kind of setup?

1. RDS with newer 6x magnifier (said to be a bear to use, no idea on parallax)
2. Trijicon TA-11 ACOG with RDS (fixed parallax)
3. Trijicon AccuPower 1-8x28mm (nice, bright, with relaxed eyebox - can probably do without a RDS, but heavy and parallax is fixed)
4. SWFA 3-15x42mm or Nightforce ATACR 4-16x42mm (said to be the Gold Standard in its class) with RDS

I know this has all been asked before

I have a friend who wants me to load up reduced charge 223 so it will be quiet. So I loaded some CFE223 at 17gr and 14gr and some Titegroup at 3.6gr. I did not run the chrono for the two CFE223 loads and the Titegroup load was 1030FPS with a 62gr bullet. He reports that none of these loads are quiet and I have yet to get the make of suppressor from him.

My reason for this post is somewhere I think I remember that too little powder can cause problems. He now wants to try 11 gr CFE223 and I think I am not going to oblige him on that depending on what I hear here.

Yes I mentioned Blackout and he is not interested.

I’m looking for an optic to replace my Bushnell XRS3. The more time I spend behind it the more I think my eyes just don’t really agree with it, it’s hard to get the focus right and things just never appear really crisp. It also seems to suffer horribly with mirage. I’m currently looking at the Burris XTR pro (or XTR 3 as I understand they’re pretty comparable with some upgrades for comp specific use in the pro,) the zeiss S3 6-36 (I’ve heard it’s notably better than the 4.5-25?), and the atacr 5-25. I’d like to avoid the razor G3 because of the weight on this particular rifle. It’ll be going on a 308 that sees some positional shooting but not my main comp rifle. Most of my time is spent behind a ZCO 527 and an atacr 4-16. I also own an atacr 5-25 but it’s on my hunting rifle and doesn’t get shot as much. Things that matter to me (other than the obvious like accurate tracking etc):

- Generous eye box
- Mirage performance
- Finer reticles
- Forgiving parallax

I’m afraid my experience with the Bushnell might be skewed by the ZCO and atacr and it’s just not realistic to expect that performance in a less expensive scope, but I also know that manufacturers will at times save in certain areas to boost others, whereas the ZCO is the total package etc. for example, I don’t care too much about turret “feel”. I also understand I’ve posted scopes at pretty different price points but I’ve heard such good things about the XTR III that I couldn’t leave it out. But I don’t have any experience behind them either.

Budget is around $2k but like anyone I don’t like spending more than I have to. I know that sounds low for the atacr and the zeiss but I’m a big proponent of buying used optics and they come up in that price point semi regularly.

1. Lee Factory Crimp Die (6.5 Creedmoor) never used - $5

2. RCBS Shell holders (#10 still available for 223 Remington bolt face) - $5

3. Redding Powder funnel - $5

4. RCBS Case lube prep pad (one side is unused, the other is hardly used) - $5

He passed away 8/11/2024

I came across his articles in Precision Shooting magazine in the 90's. He introduced rimfire barrel tuners there in 1994.
@tonykharper has posted a series of reminiscence threads on forum.accurateshooter.com, hopefully he will cross post them here or I will link them with his say so.

Know there is some bad blood between these forums, and tuners are a controversial topic for many. But there is no denying the impact Bill Calfee and tuners had on the Rimfire Benchrest world.
