Random zero shift

Looking for some input on an issue I had today at the range I have never experienced before.
Some details on the rig for context
TL3
Proof Pre-Fit .223
Razor gen 2
manners TCS
75 eldm lapua brass 24gr varget

So I have ran this same setup for about 900 rounds now and has been a solid performer.

Today mid range session my zero shifted 8mils up. I couldn't understand what was going on and went to a 100 meter paper range. I checked torque specs on everything ( action, rings, base) nothing was loose. I re-zerod the gun and everything grouped fine and held zero.

My thoughts are something in the optic shifted.
Next step is checking the torque spec on the barrel and head back to the range to confirm.

Anyone ever come across an issue like this?

For $109 million I fully expect it to be able to make a cell phone call

This article on the F35 popped up in my feed today. it just seems kinda underwhelming that the big news is the F35's ability to send an info package. Wait until they find out what we did with SINGARS back in the 90's.


"The US defense contractor Lockheed Martin said one of its F-35 stealth fighters sent classified data from Texas to a command center about 5,000 miles away in Denmark, calling this a milestone and a successful demonstration of how systems work together."

Prayer request: My Dad just jad a stroke. UPDATE: He's doing MUCH better! THANK YOU.

Dad is having a stroke right now. In the hospital (stroke center nearby where they live) and receiving very timely treatments.

His name is Christopher and my mother, Virginia, is at his side. I pray to Jesus this turns out well for them. He just retired after busting is balls for over 50 years to do as best as he could for all of us and love our mother with everything he has.

God's love is upon us.

From my mom:

"Dad just got his room and he’d CALL in a bit, so that’s great, hopefully the blood thinner has …..he just called me and sounded WONDERFUL!!! I only heard a tiny slur. SUPER NEWS!!! I’ll text tomorrow AM."

I don't have words other than thank you and I am so grateful for this outpouring of support.

SOLD So this is Sold

Ladies and gents; I have for your consideration, a slightly salty, older Geissele mk13. It's not "damaged" in any way; simply "used", and looks that part. I'm not a very big fan of this one; got it from a buddy to try out, and its just too short and slim for my liking.

Works great, mounts and functions like it should. It's used, as i mentioned already. Wrench, barrel nut, anti-rotation screws; its all there. This would go great on that battle worn SBR, or micro truck gun.

Ideally, Sold

Gunsmithing First custom barrel - what chemicals to clean it?

I just ordered my first custom barrel for my 308 AR10 (X-Caliber).

I’ve gotten in the habit of using boresnakes and CLP for my (mostly) “guns are just tools” collection.

Well, I really like this rifle and want to use it for long range shooting. Therefore the Faxon Big Gunner is going away and I need advice on barrel cleaning.

I have clp and plain gun oil and that’s about it. I will be using X-Caliber’s advice on break in, which involves a lot of shooting, cleaning, shooting, cleaning.

I have a bore guide and carbon fiber rod. Do I need brushes? What material? Brass? Stainless? Nylon? What chemical do I use for the brushes?

I also need to push patches. After I brush, what chemical am I using on the patch? Hoppes #9?

I searched for an existing discussion and, while I’m certain this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, nothing recent popped up.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!

Looks like removal of silencers from NFA has been added to the budget bill.
