So... just found out that my sister-in-law hit and killed this mountain lion about a mile from my house last night.

Pretty new at this but bought a rifle for long distance shooting this spring. Have had a heck of a time with it trying to sight in. Go through boxes of ammo every time I go to range just to get it zeroed in at 100 Meters. Been suspicious since I bought it that zero is moving around. Finally had an incident today that makes me suspicious of the scope being a dud.

Took a shot at a moose after zeroing in rifle last week with new MDT rings. Didn't appear to even come close to hitting it. Went to end of a road and checked zero at 100 meters shooting at pop cans and I had to adjust up 22.4 mil radians! Rings didn't move since zeroing last week, I am baffled and lost confidence in my equipment.

What would cause this? Has this even ever happened on a level this severe to anyone else? I'm debating sending the scope back to Vortex to be looked at. I am assuming to be out by this much by the rail, the rings or the scope moving, you would see some very obvious visual signs. There is nothing to indicate that any of these are moving around. Any suggestions because I am stumped on this one, and rifle has been very accurate once zeroed in.

For reference, It is a Tikka T3X Tac A-1 rifle with factory 0 moa rail. MDT rings and the Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 scope. Ammo I have shot through it has been quite varied as it has been difficult to find, but generally I have been shooting 140-147 grain Nosler, Hornady, or Barnes. Regardless of powder differences and BC of the ammo used, 22.4 mills out should never be a possibility at 100 meters, I was thinking more along the lines of maybe 0.5 mills out.

For those enjoying our barrels, here's a new product that ought to make your life easier for cleaning them. This product was inspired by a number of barrels we've seen (ours and others) that were damaged severely during cleaning. Especially as more of us use things like H4350, Varget, and Staball where a carbon ring is almost assured if you're not spot-on with the cleaning cycle.

It does work with other barrels, we just recommend you use ours... because they're ours.

Anyway: Here's the Muzzle Jimmy with the add-on "Jimmy Stick"

Yes, I've been told there's a joke in the name somewhere. The goal is for folks to be able to clean barrels more easily and let the cleaning agents do the hard work. This means fewer damaged crowns and gouged throats from over-zealous scrubbing on stubborn carbon and copper fouling.

They're brightly color anodized and hopefully nobody will send a bullet downrange with the Jimmy still over the muzzle. However, if they do, the precautions to make the cap out of low strength aluminum is meant to mitigate the damage caused by the accident.


And a quick clip on why the Jimmy Stick is so useful...

Ok... first... going to say I love this movie. It's sort of a cult classic. Campy... over-acted. Time Travel. Whatever. I still love this movie!

It had military history, fake Zero's (AT-6 Texans) and Tomcats, mixing it up in a chance to revise Pearl Harbor. Even some star actors. And a collie.


Friend just sent me this really cool story from one of the Tomcat pilots who kept notes on the filming and how they did the aviation scenes. No CGI... not even any video cameras for instant looks.

Totally cool article on a movie that, if it's on TV... always gets the nod. Just for the sheer "Hoo Rah" of the air combat scenes.

Ok... I'll go back to my geek sci-fi movies now... Carry on.

Can someone point me in the right direction for a reputable online company that sells and has primers in stock? Looking for large and small rifle. Trying to dial my rifles in and having no luck with legit places.

The U.S. economy is effectively certain to enter a recession in the next 12 months, according to model projections from Bloomberg Economics.


Bloomberg News described this as “a blow to President Joe Biden’s economic messaging ahead of the November elections.”


The probability models maintained by Bloomberg economists Anna Wong and Eliza Winger had earlier shown just a 65 percent chance of a recession over the coming 12 months.


A separate Bloomberg survey of 42 economists predicts the probability of a recession over the next 12 months rose to 60 percent recently, up from 50 percent a month earlier.


The odds of entering a recession even sooner are also up, according to the model. In the 11-month window, the probability is 73 percent, up from 30 percent. In the 10-month window, the probability rose to 25 percent from zero.


The Bloomberg Economics model uses 13 macroeconomic and financial indicators to predict the chance of a downturn at horizons of one month to two years.

I'm looking at getting another 270win rifle. I don't know why, but I've got the need (okay, maybe it's just a want). I'm pretty sure I want a Tikka but I'm not sure if it will be a Lite or a Hunter. Since I know nothing about the Tikka brand other than it seems to be well respected on the Hide, I thought I'd get some other opinions on the matter. I've got 2 other 270 rifles, a Browning A Bolt and a cheap Thompson Venture.

I'll probably this rifle more sighting in the scope than I will in the woods, but it's something I want, so I'm going to get it.

I'm wondering what's the difference in these 2 models? Do you have any experience with either or both? Opinions on which I should purchase for an older fat man who is out of shape and has more health issues than I care to admit.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Just as title says, like new (been to the range once w it). OD Green Kestrel 5700 Elite w/ Applied Ballistics. None link version

Good Morning, and in case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night...​

Newbie to the Precision World... Always wanted to Join... I don't know what the etiquette is on this Forum.. so forgive me If I miss any lines.. Promise to do better.

I'm in the market for a Precision Bolt Action.. and going through a few threads.. I've narrowed it down to a starting rifle... Remington 700. Of course, I'm can be persuaded

Goal is to be able to hit a target at 500-750 yards... Good looking gun, with eventually a suppressor. I'm purely a hobbyist. No plans on hunting. I like my lamb shanks already grilled when I order them.


Saw this one on gunbroker...


Remington 700 Magpul Rifle 308 - Win 22" Hb Blk Mtte Magpul Stk

I like the fact that it holds 5 rounds... has a threaded barrel when I eventually get a stamp... love the black.

Thinking total $2000-$2500 Rifle with Suppressor and Scope... but that would be done in phases...$$$

Would any of you experts have better suggestions? or any input for this Newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ji

Hahaha, what could possibly go wrong?


They splain how they do it too, just in case some enemy lab can't figure it out.

Nuke War In Ukraine? No Big Deal, Says Biden Ally
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/10/16/nukes-in-ukraine-no-probs-said-biden-ally/




Wow, the left really does want a nuclear exchange!!! These little fruit bats have obviously never heard of Kahn… or escalation.

And the Biden admin is saying loud and clear, go ahead use nukes.

These are the same people who have whined about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Bikini, nuclear waste, TMI, Chernobyl, The H Bomb. And every other radioactive thing since their feeling got all squeamish.

Now they can’t wait for nuclear war. Carl Sagan needs to come down from above and bitch slap BSM just on principle.

Wow… just wow.

On the other hand…. Tactical nukes will make TV worth watching. What does the US do when we learn there are hundreds of Americans who got fried… meh, who cares.

I remember Benghazi. The admin knows no one else does!

Are you using the brass from your last barrel in the new barrel you just put on your bolt gun?

I have heard from a couple of people that a new barrel should have new brass. While this may be the perfect world answer I wonder how reasonable this is. I have brass with 8-9 firing on it that seems to be in good condition overall and it seems a shame to retire it when I spin the new barrel on.

On my first barrel change I was going from a factory chamber to an aftermarket barrel and chamber, the brass from the factory barrel was too tight in the aftermarket chamber after resizing and gave me all of the normal issues. I later resized that brass with a better die and it would have worked but I had already purchased new brass and didn't look back. I learned a lot about matching your die to your chamber during that mess.

Now I'm changing barrels again going from an aftermarket to another aftermarket barrel, not the same reamer and would like to continue to run the same brass.
