Top Tier Scope for 6.4# .300 PRC

I am looking for a top tier piece of glass to complete my custom 6.4# .300 PRC built on a Defiance AnTi action. This rifle will primarily be used for backpack elk hunting in the mountains. I just purchased a ZCO 5-27 intending to put it on this rifle. While the scope is awesome, it is way too big and heavy. I'm going to return it and try something else. I am currently waffling between a NX8 4-32 or an S&B PMII 3-20. The NX8 is lighter, cheaper, and has better magnification range. Presumably, the S&B has better glass and has a smaller form factor. Is it worth an extra 4 ounces for the S&B? They likely both have bomb proof reliability. Which of those scopes would the Hide recommend and what other options should I be looking at? Is the March 4.5-28 a viable alternative? My ideal list of requirements is below.

Weight- <32 ounces
Ideal mag range- 5-25x
FFP
Target turrets with capped/ lockable windage
Illumination is required
Reticle that allows me to hold for wind

Not sure about this one (surely they are not serious)

Should I be making fun of this product or not. Not sure. But the advertising surly seems over the top. Price, I think $80.00. (Unless you purchase two or three or more than they give a discount.).

Somehow, it just seems a bit too true to be any good.

What is this spot on a AIAT bolt face?

Swapping barrels on my relatively new (sub 600rds) AIAT this morning and noticed this spot on the face of one of the bolt lugs? It looks like someone had hit it with a roll pin punch. It has transferred the shape of the spot to the barrel but there is no burr on the bolt or barrel. It is not raised or anything and doesn’t snag a fingernail or razor blade on either.

Kamala Harris Agrees to Debate Donald Trump: ‘I’m Ready’


Vice President Kamala Harris agreed on Thursday to debate former President Donald Trump. It appears the campaigns have not yet agreed upon a date and network.
“…[Trump] previously agreed upon [a] September 10 debate,” Harris claimed. “Now it appears he’s backpedaling, but I’m ready, and I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage, and, so, I’m ready; let’s go.”
It is unclear why Harris believes Trump is “backpedaling.” Trump offered to debate Harris multiple times, he told Fox News’s Bill Melugin on Tuesday.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told Axios on Thursday he was unsure if the previously scheduled debate on September 10 would occur, but he noted there would be another debate and that there “should be multiple debates.”
“Not only will there be another debate, but there should be multiple debates,” Miller told Axios. “We do think there should be some diversification in the outlets for who hosts a debate, but I think the public would be sold short if we only did one debate against Kamala Harris in the general election.”
Miller suggested Spanish-American outlets could be a part of the event.
Fox News proposed to both campaigns on Wednesday that the candidates meet on September 17 in Pennsylvania with anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum moderating.

This I WILL watch!

Fake Vintage Parts

Guys please be aware of PTG trying to sell fake vintage rifle parts.
This is a follow up post from my previous posts about asking if it was a legitimate part.
USMCSGT0331 seen the post and with his much appreciated knowledge and feedback it was obviously fake.
I’m grateful to have him in this group otherwise how would the community know if they are being scammed or not.
I returned the base and finally received a full refund.
Nine months ago I spoke with the owner about purchasing some original M40 ,Commerative and Limited Edition parts that they said they had.
After months of waiting I finally decided to settle for what was supposed to be an Original Redfield 40X M40 scope base total cost of $223 for the base only and did not include windage or mounting screws upon arrival.
Needless to say those parts were never made available for one reason or another.
Do they actually have the parts I don’t know.
Maybe they go to the highest bidder.
Just wanted to share my experience with the community.
The base marked 40 X is what I had received.
Be cautious and get plenty of proof regarding authenticity of items sold as originals.
Good luck with your vintage rifle builds guys.

Factory 5.56 Hornady 73 ELD M too hot?

About 5 years ago I bought a bunch of Hornady 5.56 73 grain ELD M ammo. It shot under an MOA in the Stag Varminter with the 5.56 chambered 24” 1:8 barrel.
IMG_5728.jpeg


I didn’t see any of the usual pressure signs so I bought a shitload more.

I took it out recently and tested it again with a different rifle with Krieger 1:7 24” barrel, 5.56 chamber.
Screenshot 2024-07-15 at 11.21.59.jpeg


It grouped about the same as before. No flattened or cratered primers.

Is this ammo too hot? Am I prematurely wearing out components?

Term Limits &??

We all know term limits would cure 75% of the shit these embedded ticks(see Pelosi,McConnel,Schumer,Nadler etc)cause but what else would it take to get the Govt back into the hands of the legal citizens. was thinking after seeing how much each campaign has made since the assassination attempt and Joe dropping out that a campaign donation cap alla MLB salary cap would be in order.Each campaign would have a limit of??? 50 million they could spend on their respective candidates for President. I have not checked the numbers but i am sure the present spending on a Presidential race far far exceeds this amount.Use your money to target states you have to win and to mobilize the workers to spread your agenda ideas.Its obscene what they spend on one race which only proves that the people on the giving end expect a large return on their investment.No more Soros or Koch brothers or any big donors influencing campaigns.What else could right this ship besides the obvious.

Wokism gone mad

Wokeism gone made......

The Lord Of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is a story of epic high fantasy set in Middle-earth that has been beloved by many around the world - many WHITE SUPREMACISTS, that is. Here are just ten reasons why this fantasy is not innocent fun, but is actually a white supremacy tome disguised as literature:

1. There are 9 members of the Fellowship, yet not a single elf or hobbit of color: Shameful.

2. Middle-earth is absolutely filled with wizards in robes: Just like the KKK.

3. Speaking of wizards, the main wizard is Gandalf The White: Be a little less obvious, Tolkien.

4. The poor, disenfranchised creatures known as "orcs" are portrayed as evil: Tolkien really missed the boat in not showing why their violent war against white supremacy is justified.

5. The evil land of Mordor is known as the Black Land, which is behind the Black Gate: The bigotry is overwhelming.

6. The White Tree of Gondor is a symbol of goodness: Clearly a sign that according to Tolkien, the good guys are the white guys. Disgusting.

7. Actually, everything in the free city of Minas Tirith is white: It is located by the White Mountains, seven levels of the city are surrounded by white walls, and it is built higher and higher until it finally reaches the highest point of the city, which is the White Tower. What more evidence could you need?

8. Saruman, who is depicted as a traitorous bad wizard, quits wearing his white robe: Gandalf even tells Saruman, "I liked white better." It's been right in front of us this whole time.

9. The Easterlings and Haradrim are foreigners who just so happen to ally with the evil Lord Sauron: Will the xenophobia never end?

10. Finally, the whole story is praising white people for stealing and destroying the Ring of Power forged in the Black Land: REEEEE!!!!

Well, there you have it. These are just ten of the reasons that The Lord of the Rings is a clear textbook on white supremacy. Until next time — read better books, and don't be white

From Babylon bee in case you have not guessed.

I purchased this from another hide member years ago. This was prior to one of the recent reiterations of the hide and an old account. Previous owner had 200rnds through it and I did load development and shot 4 local prs matches with it. I decided to chase velocity in the 6mm world and this has spent the time since then as a hunting rifle. In other words it sat in the safe for the past 3 or so years. The only bullets I ran through it were Berger 140 Hybrids at 2750. I settled on a load that got me sub moa and rolled onward. Great shooting rifle. I am consolidating platforms ahead of my first child arriving later this year.

$800 Barreled action only
