Many have posted their methods of cleaning the dreaded carbon ring in their rimfire rifles with Bore Tech C4.
I've used Bore Tech Rimfire Blend previously and getting the last bit of the carbon ring out was an hour long process with soaking followed by 100+ short strokes with the nylon brush.

I ordered a 4 oz bottle that cost ~$16 delivered and was thinking that this stuff can't be as good as touted on the forums.
I wrapped a small patch around a jag, put 4 drops of C4 on it and let it sit in the chamber for 10 minutes then rotated the patch a few times and removed it.

Ran the bore scope to see how many more times I needed to do this and it was clean as new!

Color me impressed. This 4 oz bottle should last me several years. Best money I've spent on what I thought was an overhyped product.

Happy shooting.

Hi, All. Been on wait lists for months trying to find some Berger 6mm 105gr Hybrid Target bullets, part #24433 [100ct] or the #24733 [500ct]. I'd even take some Berger 109gr Long Range Hybrid Target bullets, part #24485 [100ct] or #24785 [500ct] if I could find them. Does anyone on the Hide know of a good source? Thanks in advance!

Who makes a super compact, lightweight 2-10 power with good glass, an illuminated FFP mil based reticle, .1mil knobs, 10-ish inch OAL, 32-ish mm objective, 20 ounce weight for under $2000?

Does anybody check all those boxes? So far I've looked at the Leupy Mk5HD 2-10 & March Compact 1-10. I'd be all over that Leupold if it had a 30mm tube and a decent reticle. The March is SFP but I may end up going that route if I can't find something I like in a FFP.

It's going on a compact blackout bolt gun for general critter control swapping back and forth between subs and supers. FFP because I'm old and I don't want to have to remember what power I'm at for holds. Lol.

So I recenetly coined the term "Leupolded" which is basically Leupolds ability to get a good idea for a new scope and screw it up with dumb reticle options and other specs they get wrong. I guess that means Vortexed/Vortex'd is when your Vortex scopes shits itself at the worst possible time.

I shot a 22lr match last weekend, I'd been testing/playing around with my scopes and decided to use my 3-15 PST for this particular match.
The first 4 of 8 stages went well and I was happy with my scores but the next 3 went to shit with a lot of misses that I was putting down to wind I wasn't seeing, or just sucking. The final stage 8 of 8 though was prone with zero wind and here I discovered I was hitting 0.8 - 1.0Mil right.

I got home checked everything over on my rifle and gave the barrel a clean.
Checking the scope on paper I was still hitting 1ish Mil right but the elevation was perfect (it's been pretty windy here (right to left) so not sure the exact value).
Because I'd been testing scopes the week before the match I had 4 other scopes all zeroed for this rifle, so I checked 3 of the scopes out (a LRHS, PM2, PST 2.5-10) and they were all nicely zero'd.
Today I've done a tracking test on the 3-15 PST, it is tracking more or less perfectly for the 14Mil of elevation I have available, with no noticable shift in windage.
It's odd that it has permanently shifted to the right after no obvious impacts or abuse, it's holding zero (well it's new zero) and is tracking properly.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
Should I keep using it and see what happens?

I probably need to send it to Vortex as I have now lost faith in it, and wont want to risk using it at a match again.

Not really a gripe against my cheap Uncle Mike's holster for my Browning Buckmark, just bad luck on it taking a shit. I've had a couple of 7 1/4" inch barreled Brownings over the years. I kill varmints with them, hunt squirrels, plink etc.There aren't many holsters available for them. I've had an Uncle Mike's for probably 20 years. Today I plinked a bit and walked the property. The moment I stepped into the garage the belt loop broke and the pistol landed muzzle end into the concrete.

BASTROP, Texas− Three people from Florida fell into an underground water reservoir in Central Texas and died on Wednesday after trying to catch a dog that had fallen into the hole.

Authorities said the group was going to meet a friend to go hog hunting in Bastrop County, just outside of Austin. A dog escaped from their truck and fell in the reservoir, prompting three of the people to go after the dog.

Hydrogen sulfide fumes found in cistern​

Authorities smelled fumes coming from the hole and found high levels of hydrogen sulfide, a toxic gas common in septic tanks and wells. Cook said they speculate the gas affected the buoyancy of the water and caused them to not be able to float.
“It wasn't long in the tank before they went to the bottom," he said.

I recently got a pretty good deal on a MDT ACC Elite Chassis for a Remington SA 700 action. Now I need the action and the barrel that goes with it. Problem is, in my country we are pretty limited regarding parts availability, and both the actions and the barrels are controlled-items which require a license and registration .

I'm inclined to do some smith job on this build, but I want to keep the chassis as-is, without alterations.

So far I have found two options:
1) Get an Area 419 Barrelled Action on a Deviant Tenacity Action.
2) Get a Zermatt TLR3 with a Prefit Savage (Short Shank) Barrel.

I have contacted Area 419 about option 1 and they said that everything if fully compatible; the barrelled action should drop-in without issues. Later I have found out that some people report issues with the bolt-stop (which would require inletting), that are in fact larger than most rem 700's.

Option 2 is probably the most cost-effective option for me, even with the TLR3. What do you guys think about it? A savage prefit barrel will do or I miss something? That would be my first semi-custom "build", that's why I need the guidance.

So snap shot - DOJ has awarded $6 billion dollars in contracts to private firms to look for assets they can take through civil asset forfeiture.
How much must they be stealing annually- and without ever filing charges let alone a conviction.

Seems that on April 8 , 2024 theres going to be quite the Eclipse. My humble AO is right in its path.
We will have a period of total darkness for a little over 4 minutes. Towns and people in the path have already started planning , even going to have some folks from NASA grace our presence !! Supposed to be like 30k eclipse watchers coming this way. Local motels that usually cost $80.00 a night will charge $650.00 per night …like a Motel 6 Some nicer motels bumping their rates to the 1K per night range. A buddy of mine has a cabin on a near by mountain has already rented it for 2 days for $ 950.00 …he has 8 people on a waiting list. Even Going to have a mass wedding ceremony at a near by park .

World has gone totally NUTS !!! It’s official to me now

Might be a rare occurrence… BUT I don’t understand why anyone would travel and pay exorbitant prices to watch it ? All the hype and price gouging on , nobody mentions what happens if it’s pouring down and totally cloudy ??

I’ll give (most) members of the Hide a HELL of a deal. Bring Beer and food , you can sit under my Pecan tree for free

Need some help with information on this rifle. Father surprised me with it today.

Is there a benefit to use one magnification range over another? The low and high end differences don't seem like much, but does the 4x vs 5x range make a difference when using the reticle within the zoom range?

Edit to add- I did try to search for a previous thread on this before asking, but I kept getting a red screen error message

All items are in their original packaging. The brass was never opened until this picture and only one box was opened. The dies are in the original bags as well, I simply added oil to the bag before packaging them up and moving to prevent corrosion.

He is only 11, on the autism spectrum so VERY recoil sensitive and finally stepped up to .223. He was enjoying his TacSol 10/22 but at 200 he was kinda having to lob them in.

We only have had him shoot out to 200 so far but eventually going to go further but nothing really local.

I know he is jerking the trigger and we still have work to do on his fundamentals but i am happy he finally is ok with the .223. My lightweight AR15 was just a tad too much recoil for him.

These are mags I convert myself from 10rd AW they hold 12 round and have been function tested out of an Impact in a XLR envy. Last year I did run my personal 12rd mag with my impact and an ACC. Zero issues. If you have a 10 round that runs great these will run just as good but give you the ability to hold 12 rounds in a very short mag. If you have any questions feel free to let me know. I have a few ready to ship if they sell I can give you a lead time when I will have more available. I have sold several of these this year and haven’t had anyone have issues that I know of.

These prices are shipped to your door.

308 12rd AW $250
BR 12rd AW $310

Best form of payment is venmo. Could possibly do other options but would need to agree upon before deal is made.

The TT just sold and buyer did not want the mount. Parting it out.

Price: $315 shipped (firm, no trades, paypal, venmo, zelle)
