Well, after bragging on my Burris XTR Pro about it being problem free (albeit that I didn't exactly have a ton of rounds through it), it will now not dial back to zero .

I have no clue what is going on, but I took the dials off and the only thing that appeared off was that my little zero stop -4 brass triangle screw had backed out a tad. BUT when I tightened it down (1/2 turn) and tried getting it to work again, I lost another .3mils of downward travel and it sounded like I was trying to grind sand. Previously it was sitting at 3.7 from my last little attempt at 655 with my 6gt. When I tried to dial back to my 100 yard zero it came to a grinding halt at .9. Zero hard use...most abuse it saw was the massive recoil of a 6.5CM (with brake). Mount is a Badger Condition 1 Max that was not ham-fisted by a gorilla.

Shit happens. Info sent to Burris. We shall see how this experience goes. Regardless, I'd feel dishonest NOT to disclose this situation after flapping my gums so much over the past few months. I will update when I know more.

So I have a 1.25 - 1.1 tapered barrel, will the 1.25 straight pushing work from short action customs? Because I don’t see a tapered bushing for that size. Thanks Jimmy

I have a aero solus action on a bartlein m24 20 inch 308 barrel. Barrel was done by bugholes originally for a tl3 I had it respaced for the solus. Barrel has 120rounds on it. The action has 20 rounds on it. I only shot it to make sure it would group.
Asking 1k shipped barreled action only.

What do guys think of this? Pics are of a 308 factory barrel on a bolt gun that I've had for a while and have put about 7 or 8 hundred rounds though it.

I was cleaning it the other day and thought I would try out the bore scope. Wish I hadn't.

I've always struggled with this rifle.

Any one seen one this before?

DID YOU KNOW......
For all the fans of “It’s A Wonderful Life” and Jimmy Stewart . . .
Just months after winning his 1941 Academy Award for best actor in “The Philadelphia Story,” Jimmy Stewart, one of the best-known actors of the day, left Hollywood and joined the US Army. He was the first big-name movie star to enlist in World War II.
An accomplished private pilot, the 33-year-old Hollywood icon became a US Army Air Force aviator, earning his 2nd Lieutenant commission in early 1942. With his celebrity status and huge popularity with the American public, he was assigned to starring in recruiting films, attending rallies, and training younger pilots.
Stewart, however, wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to fly combat missions in Europe, not spend time in a stateside training command. By 1944, frustrated and feeling the war was passing him by, he asked his commanding officer to transfer him to a unit deploying to Europe. His request was reluctantly granted.
Stewart, now a Captain, was sent to England, where he spent the next 18 months flying B-24 Liberator bombers over Germany. Throughout his time overseas, the US Army Air Corps' top brass had tried to keep the popular movie star from flying over enemy territory. But Stewart would hear nothing of it.
Determined to lead by example, he bucked the system, assigning himself to every combat mission he could. By the end of the war he was one of the most respected and decorated pilots in his unit.
But his wartime service came at a high personal price.
In the final months of WWII he was grounded
for being “flak happy,” today called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). When he returned to the US in August 1945, Stewart was a changed man. He had lost so much weight that he looked sickly. He rarely slept, and when he did he had nightmares of planes exploding and men falling through the air screaming (in one mission alone his unit had lost 13 planes and 130 men, most of whom he knew personally).
He was depressed, couldn’t focus, and refused to talk to anyone about his war experiences. His acting career was all but over. As one of Stewart's biographers put it,
“Every decision he made [during the war] was going to preserve life or cost lives. He took back to Hollywood all the stress that he had built up.”
In 1946 he got his break. He took the role of George Bailey, the suicidal father in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ The rest is history.
Actors and crew of the set realized that in many of the disturbing scenes of George Bailey unraveling in front of his family, Stewart wasn’t acting. His PTSD was being captured on filmed for potentially millions to see. But despite Stewart's inner turmoil, making the movie was therapeutic for the combat veteran. He would go on to become one of the most accomplished and loved actors in American history.
When asked in 1941 why he wanted to leave his acting career to fly combat missions over Nazi Germany, he said,
“This country's conscience is bigger than all the studios in Hollywood put together, and the time will come when we'll have to fight.”
This Christmas season, as many of us watch the classic Christmas film, ‘It’s A Wonderful Life,’ it’s also a fitting time to remember the sacrifices of Jimmy Stewart and all the men who gave up so much to serve their country during wartime. We will always remember you!
Postscript:
While fighting in Europe, Stewart's Oscar statue was proudly displayed in his father’s Pennsylvania hardware store. Throughout his life, the beloved actor always said his father, a World War I veteran, was the person who had made the biggest impact on him.
Jimmy Stewart was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1985 and died in 1997 at the age of 89.

I dont really care whether or not anyone likes him, I admire the standing up to JoeyB. Dont miss the photo below the link.

Brief overview:

We finally got the Ultra50 out the door. It's unbelievably awesome


We expanded the Magnus line to be 3 different lengths (K, S, and full length); each length is available in .30, .338, or .375 caliber), and each of those is available as a normal can, or with our new RR (reduced recoil / race ready) brake like the 50 has. Recoil reduction on 300WM as an example exceeds 60%.


These are available with four different mount options, some are restricted by caliber applicability, CB, BA, HUB, SR.
I know you can't read the above table-- there is a PDF linked from the link at the top of this post.

We also added the RR option to the 338 Ultra,

Recoil reduction on 338LM is 54% where the normal can is 32%.

Introduced by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) on Thursday, a bill dubbed the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” would prohibit privately organized groups from “publicly patrolling, drilling, or engaging in harmful or deadly paramilitary techniques,” “interfering with or interrupting government proceedings,” or “interfering with the exercise of someone else’s constitutional rights,” according to Mr. Markey.

This is not surprising. Cockroaches hate being exposed to the light.

Hi guys - the rifle is a Rem 700 5R Gen 2 SS in .308 Win (love those succinct and brief names, eh? LOL). I bought this rifle new 5 years ago so not immediately before Rem was broken up. But this is certainly well into the period where the private equity guys fucked that company over royally and was turning out subpar products. It shoots ok for a deer at 200 yards and in but its not a tack driver by any means. Rifle has 1,200 rounds thru it.

I didn't have a bore scope at the time it was new and then after I did have a scope (mostly to check for state of cleaning on my precision rifles) I never looked into this barrel until recently. And when I did I was shocked to see that about 35-40% of the throat...and a bit beyond...seems to be missing. This is not throat erosion from shooting....the other half of the throat is right with the lands of the lead coming up to the free bore as you would expect. Its just gouged out.

Questions to the experts:

1. I'm mostly just wondering how they could have fucked this up this way? if the throat reamer was off center or cocked relative to the bore, then it would have eaten the throat all the way around as the barrel was spun in the lathe. Is this right?

2. Can the barrel be set back just a small bit and have the chamber extended again and the throat re-cut?

And ideas?






Thanks for looking.

So I work at a range, I'm continually amazed at what gets left by shooters.
Bags, shooting mats, ear pro, phones some things expensive, some not.
Members have found rifles, shotguns, you name it. We send out an email to our members and eventually the owner responds and they get their stuff back.
Yesterday takes the cake though....
I think I would have just about thrown up when someone found a like new Winchester SX4 and I didn't miss it for two months.

But what I found yesterday would have me shitting down both legs.

A Thunderbeast 338! HOLY SHIT!
I couldn't believe it! We're trying to track the owner down now.

Original owner that ordered the build did not fire it.
I have ran a total of 100rds thru it.
Black Nitride Finish
Non OIS model


*What makes this build unique is the threaded Jarvis Bull Barrel.
This was the only GRP built with 9mm bull barrel when it was built.
The orginal owner had to waite some time to get NH VP approval to have this built with a 9mm bull barrel.

Hands down one of the softest shooting 2011s I have ever fired. Actually a hair softer shooting than my Infinity sight tracker.
The very crisp trigger feels about 3#s.
*only blemish is where my Aggie ring took a tiny bit of finish off the grip. Circled it in the photos.

A seller on Gun Broker has "Rare Remington 700 Police" listed for $3500. [Item 1025228856]

He points to a 2016 article in Sniper Country PX Blog by Scott Powers regarding a limited run of 700 Police with a 20" stainless 5R barrel. 700 Police 5R Stainless “Exclusive” (SKU: 86594)

It appears to me that the seller wants full new cost for his 8-32x 56mm Nightforce scope, and a pretty penny for the rile also. Or, maybe as a neo there's something about a mid-teens 700 Police with a 20" barrel in stainless that I'm not aware of?
