Looking for feedback on calibers for large frame ARs.
My intended use isn’t as important necessarily as hearing what has worked best for others and their intended purpose. I’m really interested in what feeds and works reliably.
I’m not interested in 6.5CM and already have a nice .308 Seekins custom upper.
I’m building a couple more large frame uppers and considering 243 Win, 6CM, 260 Rem and 338 Federal to name a few. Haven’t researched much thus far, just thought I’d get some feedback here first.

what do you guys use for mid to long range thermal targets? i've heard of people using hot hands. i tried ice water. i'm thinking about trying some 12v heat tape on the back of steel targets with batteries.

i suppose a higher wattage laser could heat a target if you could aim it well enough and you had a significant power source at the range.

Ok so... I have a rifle I enjoy now. Far from special in 223 caliber. With the Criterion barrel and handloads I can shoot 5 round groups @ 200Y off a rest @ .8s . I would like to cut that in half. Having explored different loads I just don't think this rifle is going to do it. So I'm thinking of assembling a new rifle in 6BR.

I have a "parts gun". A Remington 700P in 308. (Nice rifle but no where near as accurate as I desire) From that Rifle I can source the MDT chassis it sits in, the trigger tech trigger, and Midas Tac scope. I say "parts gun" as I'm skeptical that simply adding a barrel to that rifle will turn it into the shooter I'm looking for.

So I'm about to go the route of a custom action and barrel. It will be dropped in the MDT Chassis, receive the trigger and scope. Before I drop the coin I'm interested to hear opinions on my plan.

Thank you.

Been on this planet for almost 45 damn years and I almost don't recognize this Country anymore. When did men turn into such pussies... as in what actual F'n year. I've had a coworker pass at work and have seen some terrible shit in my day. Not once did my company shut down and everyone give up and go home.

I'll be the first to say that I wish the best for Demar Hamlin and hopefully he is able to pull through. He appears to be a vibrant young man who is definitely giving his all, both on and off the football field.

That being said, I fail to understand why the football game was postponed. When is this shit going to stop, and how much worse will things get? NHRA no longer does a 1/4 mile. 1000ft is all you get. The NBA is nothing but a giant poster for BLM with LeBron virtue signaling for Communist China.

I guess that I'm an old relic that blindly believes that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Some of you will recognize the picture and remember when men still played sports. Lastly RIP Ken Block, you were a hero to many as you taught others to turn dreams into reality.

For a most worthy cause....and a COOL RIFLE

Thanks to T @Terry Cross

I just swapped out a factory 20 inch rifle gas psa 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for a 22 inch +2 gas barrel. This was the first firing on star line brass, had some strange rings around the base of the case on lighter loads, then some primers were leaking gas around them on a few pieces of the next few loads.

The hottest load I checked had a.010 bulge around the back of the case ( belted
magnum ) and one of those lost a primer and it jammed it's self in the bolt cam pin bore and locked the gun up.. needless to say I stopped there.

Shot some factory 123 grain federal stuff and brass looked fine, shot some of these same loads with the same brass out of the factory barrel and they looked fine. I did not run a set of headspace gages through this rifle after the barrel change. What are you guys thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Loads were 39-43 grains of rl17 with 143 eldx set at 2.825 coal. Win primers

Rest well KB #legend

Being short is “better” for the planet and future, according to a recent New York Times piece that describes short people as “inherent conservationists” who save resources by consuming less and are “best suited for long-term survival.” The essay’s author, who boasts of her “tiny” children who “eat like gerbils” and thus help “save money and food,” also calls for mating with a short partner as “an effective way to help the planet” because it can decrease the “needs of subsequent generations.”
The Sunday essay, titled “There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be Short” and penned by author Mara Altman, begins by describing increased height as a “widely held fantasy of superiority that long ago should have been retired.”

“It made sense to fawn over height when it facilitated survival,” she writes. “Ages ago, when the necessity of defending oneself cropped up daily, if not hourly, tall people could more easily protect their families and bring home some woolly rhino flank.”

“Today, those who have the stamina to sit in an office chair all day bring home the plastic-wrapped meats,” she adds.

“From where I stand — at five feet even — being tall is a widely held fantasy of superiority that long ago should have been retired,” writes @maraaltman. https://t.co/HfG2TQWMen

On an individual level, she notes, success “does not depend on beating up other people or animals.”

“Even if it did, in an era of guns and drones, being tall now just makes you a bigger target,” she writes.

Criticizing the “echoes of these early human desires and biases [that] have stuck in our minds like a particularly catchy marketing jingle,” Altman shares that her own twins “are among the smallest in their kindergarten class.”

“ut instead of preparing to medicate them because of an antiquated societal bias, I’m going to let them be as they are: tiny,” she writes. “Because short is better, and it is the future.”

While other parents “boast about how their kids ‘eat them out of house and home’ and grow out of shoes the very week a new pair is bought as if it’s a badge of honor,” Altman states that her children “eat like gerbils.”

“t’s fine, they are healthy — and because of their low percentiles we save money and food, and they fit into the same pair of shoes for a year,” she writes.

“Growing like a weed? No, thanks. I’ll take growing like a cactus,” she adds.

She also highlights the use of performance and exhibitions by artist Arne Hendriks “to encourage people to embrace fewer inches.”

“He’s even restricted dairy from his sons’ diets and only allows them minimal sugar in an attempt to limit their growth, saving them from the ills of height,” she writes.

Altman describes the future she envisions, expressing her desire for her grandchildren “to know the value of short.”

“I want them to call themselves ‘short drinks of water’ with ‘legs for minutes,’” she writes. “While one yells, ‘I’m the shortest,’ I hope the other will bend his knees to gain an advantage, shouting, ‘No, I’m the shortest!’”

Claiming that short people “live longer” and “have fewer incidences of cancer,” Altman cites a theory that attributes the fact to possessing fewer cells — where there is “less likelihood that one goes wrong.”

“I’d take that over dunking a basketball any day,” she writes.

The author describes short people as “inherent conservationists,” something she deems “more crucial than ever in this world of eight billion,” as she cites engineer Thomas Samaras who harbors a philosophy “that considers small superior.”

“[He] calculated that if we kept our proportions the same but were just 10 percent shorter in America alone, we would save 87 million tons of food per year (not to mention trillions of gallons of water, quadrillions of B.T.U.s of energy and millions of tons of trash),” she writes.

According to Altman, short individuals are better for the planet and the future.

“Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival (and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked),” she writes.

Pointing to a population of smaller early humans who survived due to their lack of a need for substantial amounts of food, Altman states “[t]hey could do everything bigger humans could.”

“[They could] make tools, hunt…. [and] could also stay alive when times got tough,” she writes.

Choosing a short partner, she argues, is an effective way to help the planet.

“When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations,” she writes, adding that “[l]owering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet.”

The author also cites a researcher who has claimed that short men, “counter to prevailing stereotypes, may ‘compensate’ for being short by developing positive attributes,” such as behaving in “smart strategic” and possibly “prosocial” ways instead of “being aggressive and mean.”

She recalls how her 5-foot-6 husband seemed to confirm her belief when he told her “it would have been easier to be tall than to have had to put effort into developing his wit” which was necessary to attract her.

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.

Early 20th century pushes for exercise in the U.S. stemmed from “white supremacy” in order to produce “more white babies,” according to a TIME Magazine piece that also blamed the coronavirus pandemic for having “accelerated fitness inequality,” and alleged it is wrong to presume that fat people are “not fit” or that they “want to lose weight.”

The essay by staff writer Olivia B. Waxman, titled “The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise, and 6 Other Surprising Facts About the History of U.S. Physical Fitness,” describes the evolution of U.S. exercise trends, which allegedly began with “reinforcing white supremacy.”

Every time a terrorist or mass killer does something evil in America the killer is supported by, encouraged and supplied, filmed and in many cases driven to the scene of the crimes by his FBI handlers and released to do harm to American citizens. Who exactly is the FBI working for these days? ISIS? Biden or Clinton crime consortiums, maybe Chinese government or Russian oligarchs? They sure as hell are not doing anything for the safety and security of this country.

Note: I will only sell to established members with 100% positive feedback for multiple previous transactions.

All of these are new unfired, unmodified, factory built firearms. They have all been stored in a climate controlled safe. You would be buying directly from my FFL. So you would actually pay my FFL and they will ship to your FFL (I have done this with all of the firearms sales I do on this site. It works well to protect myself and the buyer). Payment would be via credit card directly to the shop. I’ve worked closely with this FFL for almost 8 years, they are an actual brick and mortar shop. I can usually only make it to the shop Fri, Sat, and Sun. So please keep that in mind while waiting for the shop to have received the firearm. Again, payment would not be made to me. Payment will be made directly to my FFL after they have the rifle in their possession and you have connected with them on the phone. They can accept credit card over the phone. Not interested in any trades. Any questions, just ask. Each firearm will be shipped with full insurance. Thanks for looking.

Anyone know what’s going on with minox ? Can’t seem to find any of their scopes in stock, seem to be a backorder only thing. Are they going out of business ? Anyone buy one recently for order times? I have a pmii 3-20 that I really like. And I kinda wanted a 5-25 of that design but I don’t want the tunneling of the pmii. And I can’t afford a tangent. I’ve bought most of pricy optics used. I got a good deal on a Zeiss s5 3-18 but I haven’t been that crazy about it. I get a lot of eye strain behind it. I’m guess because it’s a shorter design. I’m not sure my eyes don’t love it. Was going to sell that and get something else. I hear good things about the zp5 and the old premier heritage. But Id like a warrentee if something breaks. The premier wouldn’t have that. The minox I think is only transferable to the second owner I believe. Not sure

I got a cheap bore scope to be able to check my barrel for wear, and often take it with me to the range if anyone wants to have a look into their barrel. On a couple of occations i have had a look in a couple of Tikka T3x 308 light barrels, that according to the owners only had shot a couple of houndred shots.

Both of them did how ever have strange pittings that i dont really know what they are or what caused it. My first guess was that the rifles(being hunting rifles) had been used in the forrest, and rain droplets had gotten into the barrel during hunting trips causing corrosion. But i have seen this in a third barrel also, and i know that one hadnt been used in rain. There are several of these areas in each barrel, and the steel look a bit matte in the whole barrel, the rifles didnt have any accuracy issues according to their owners.

Could this be a manufacturing defect, or is it corrosion?

PRI MK12 upper has about 300 rounds through it. Scope is a vortex pst 2x10 gen 2. Comes with a atlas bipod. Lower does not come with it, just made taking pictures easier.

$1800 shipped.

Anyone know what happened to John McQuay and his 8541 Tactical channel on YouTube. He hasn't posted a video in nearly a year. I always enjoyed his content.
