Am bored, I have been shooting and reloading 6.5cm for about 2 years and 6cm for one for the type of shooting I do they’re perfect. Am able to shoot all the way out to 1354yds at my local club but typically I stay in around 550-1150, both this calibers are more than capable of accurate shooting at those distances. When doing positional shooting I shoot 6cm and it’s easy to manage and stay on target, when I want to shoot prone or off a bench I shoot 6.5cm which gives me a bit more punch of farther steel.

I want to try something new, mostly just because I want to try something new. Maybe something that can do both types of shooting I do, I was looking at the 6GT and have been reading about it but it seems like it doesn’t really do anything better that the 6cm right? Longer barrel life? Maybe 6.5x47 lapua? Would like to stay within the same powder compatibility of the CM due to current shortage as well as SA standard bolt.
Thanks in advance!

What is the estimated life of a rifle action if there is one?Does it get shorter as the caliber size increases?I know barrels have a life expectancy but never saw the same time line applied to the actions.

I have or rather had colon cancer with BRAF 600, 700, and mismatched repair genes. What's that you might wonder? In short, the prognosis was very poor. At one time I was looking into hospice care and making end of life decisions. I liqudated almost all of my firearms, optics, etc. Some of them were sold on here. I either gave away (to relatives) or sold about 40 guns and optics.

I had some colostomy problems and a blocked bowel so I went back under the knife. A very skilled surgeon removed the cancer and left me with a bladder the size of a walnut shell (I piss alot). I also have some spleen and liver problems that I am pretty sure I can beat. The good news is I am cancer free.

So, I have picked up a few pistols beginning with a Wilson Combat EDC and a Staccato C DPO. I don't have a rifle legal to hunt big game with so yesterday I bought a Springfield Waypoint in 6.5 PRC as a cross over big game hunting and long range coyote gun. I am one of the "poors" by hide standards, but I cashed in a few bucks of retirement funds to buy the Wilson and Staccato (bucket list guns). I am single and irresponsible so I have been spendin money like a drunken sailor. In a way it chaps my behind to have to buy a scope and rings for my Waypoint, but I can probably get a decent price on something like a Luepy VX-5 HD on sale for black Friday.

I am just happy to be alive. BTW, any of you know how to call coyotes when you have to pee every 30-45 minutes?

Thanks,

I've been shooting for over 30 years but mostly just for fun and the occasional deer hunt, but recently decided longer range precision shooting might be fun. I'm probably wrong and I will probably spend a bunch of money on it, not be good at it from the get-go, and then, like the impetuous child I am, give up on it too quickly and move on to some other temporary obsession.

So I have this action I figured I'd use. It's a Remington 700UML (NOTE: for those unaware, this is not the 700ML muzzle loader, which is a different beast altogether, this is the "Ultimate" ML, which I am told is essentially a Rem 700 short action receiver without the cut in the bottom to accept rifle cartridges from a box magazine. I initially picked this up with the goofy goal of assembling a smokeless muzzleloader but I think I'd rather go another way with it. Maybe without that cut in the bottom, it's a little stiffer which might help in the precsion department? Or maybe I don't know what the h-e-double-hockey-sticks I'm talking about? Probably the latter...)

Since I'm not a gunsmith and always looking to take the easy way out, I figured I'd try one of the Rem-age style barrels, which have the Savage-style locking nut which apparently makes it easier to headspace.

Anyway, as you know, all decisions are best made under pressure and without research. So I'm looking at this Black Friday sale from x-caliber and thinking of placing an order for a barrel before the sale is over, but there's a crap-ton of options on the barrel that I don't know how to answer, and some I'd never considered or even heard of before.

I picked .308 because I'm old and not interested in learning about new calibers (but mostly because off the shelf ammo is easy to find; I am not a reloader)

I think I've convinced myself a 22" bull sporter would be good (there's also a 'heavy bull sporter'...?) Why? I don't know; I figured a shorter barrel might be stiffer but a longer barrel gets a little bit of extra velocity, so picking a bull profile might help get some of the stiffness back. Plus the extra weight would help. I'm not really planning on trekking across the arctic with it strapped to my back so weight isn't a big deal. Would that profile be really hard to find a stock to fit?

Breech counter-bore: I figure I'm using stock remington extractors so .700 is fine? Does .715 allow me to run either extractor or do I have to pick .700 for remington and 715 for M16 style?

Cal/Twistrate: I randomly selected 1:10 because I saw this chart ( https://www.ammoman.com/blog/308-twist-rate-chart/ ) and consider myself an expert now (just kidding). But what I have no idea about is 5R vs 6 is. What does that even mean?

I know this post will offend a lot of experienced shooters but thanks to anyone who takes pity on a clueless newbie and posts some general rules of thumb to get me pointed in the right direction. The above silliness notwithstanding, I'm not afraid to read and learn but I'm also looking to slap something together and play with it and see if I can get it to work, just for fun.

thanks and happy Thanksgiving

considering trying it for some short range plinking ammo

the steel casing makes me wonder if it'll damage the extractor over time (AI action)

Since you guys helped me figure out my magneto speed I was out playing today. Used a sensitivity setting of 6 except for on sk rifle match. It was about 100 fps slower so I had to increase it to 8. Cz455, yo Dave spring, lilja 21” barrel, krg bravo and a form 1 suppressor.
Ammo. Sd. Ed. Avg
Cci sv. 22.2. 80. 1036
Wolf mt. 23.6. 85. 1052
Eley club. 17.4. 54. 1045
Sk rifle match. 29.1. 102. 950

Was shooting from a bench at 100. Granted my shooting is lacking lately I’ve been busy for quite awhile so just getting back into it. But the eley did shoot the best at 1.6” 10 shot group. With out going crazy expensive is there another ammo that might hold a tighter velocity range? Also gotta hang some lighter gongs on my range. The 1/2” plates weren’t making a sound or budging.

I'm trying to put a new scope on my 300WSM. This is going to be used for hunting purposes out to 500-600yds. Shots can be all the way down to sub 100yds as well. I keep coming back to the Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x50 in the Illuminated Fire Dot or TMOA reticle also looked at the Burris XTR iii in SCR Illuminated. Just wondering if there's a scope out there I'm missing on my short list before I pull the trigger on one. I've went back and fourth between SFP vs FFP. I want this to be as geared for practical hunting purposes and situations as possible. Any feedback or suggestions???

Had a couple great loads last week 5 shots thru one hole. This week I load up the same and as usual both suck on paper. In the past 6 months I have only been able to duplicate one load, and that load I repeated 3 more times. And it continues to shoot great. Nothing changes. Same brass and prep. Annealed. Full length sized. Shoulders bumped .002. All trimmed to same length. Mandrel used to set neck tension. Same seating depth. Same GMM primers. Primer pockets cleaned. Same powder charge double checked on the A&D scale. And also as usual the other loads I tested with single digit SD/ES shot the worst. Am I missing something here?

This sounds not good...

These Fusion binoculars have been mentioned last year and news/rumors have been in circulation since. I am excited to say Visir Inc. is now offering The J-FB (Jerry- Fusion Binoculars) for sale; the first commercially available Fusion binocular system.

LET THE RECORD SHOW, I GOT SOMETHING FIRST BEFORE HORTA. Man that felt nice to announce , now on to the review haha:

Housing came in a super nice box, not the plain cardboard anonomous like all others.


Custom cut foam, with textured top liner, for your pleasure.....Did I menttion nicest packaging I've seen from any NV related products ever (outside of RPNVGs, I've used/built them all). Oh and you get a nice soft case too.


Everything that comes in the box.


Glamor Shots of the Unit.


Due to the physical constraints with cramming thermal integration into a I2 unit, I was concerned with the length of the unit. Wearing something that feels like pinnocio's nose x2 would certainly feel awkward and probably not good for the neck.

The first thing you notice about the unit is it's the size and weight, it comes in under 21oz (with L3 tubes) and is actually shorter than a PVS-14; I was impressed. Compared side by side to a PVS-14 and PVS-23 (F5050)


Getting into the nuts of it, went out with family last night during the new moon. So there was no illumination except starlight. Side by side comparison of the J-FB and the PVS-14. Can you tell which is which?


The picture with pup was the J-FB. Thru the tube of the J-FB, thermal overlay pod. I got that first time looking thru NV "wow" feeling all over again the first time I look thru the J-FB. Warm fuzzies and tight pants all over again. Full thermal and outline modes

The money shot, Raid-xe civ with illuminator opened up fully, treeline around 200 yrds.


Having used them for the last couple of weeks, I REALLY like them and think they are spectacular. Alot of small details went into this one that made if feel ever so slightly more like a premium product. The battery pack cable, as can be seen, is coiled so its self-retracting. The cable also came with caps that were tethered on to them, not seen as I removed them. A very nice presentation box and soft case. The unit has a bluetooth remote with velcro backing so you can attach it to anywhere. You can adjust the thermal overlay settings and NUC the sensor without having to constantly fiddle infont of your face; very convenient.

Now on to points I found a bit lacking. The image produced by the J-FB is competitive, as can be seen from the comparison photo; but the glass is definetly the main drawback. The glass was designed to make the unit extremely compact. But this also leads to a tighter eyebox and shorter eye relief. In order for me to observe the full 40 degree FOV of the tube, I set the bino about 1/2" away from my eyes. You still have a comfortable amount of peripheral fov, but its definetly not optimal. In highlight environments, objects around the edge of the FOV will exhibit what appears similar to chromatic aberation. This appears only in very high light, surburban-urban, situations and I wasnt able to pick up this affect properly on the camera. So its defiently not something thats glaring, but figured worth mentioning. Last there seems to be some artifacts/issues with the thermal overlay. Did you catch them within the videos? I knew what they were and could barely catch them, so more likely than not you didnt catch them lol. I've been told this was a software issue, and Infiray is sending me an update as we speak. So as long as Infiray's software fix works, I consider this a non issue and will edit this part of the review.

Despite the drawbacks listed, the unit works period. The fact that its not vaporware, will set you back well under 20k depending on tubes, and its performance; its pretty fantastic.
