Scope Recommendation

Good afternoon, I had posted on another thread about wanting to do a M40 platform tribute build. I say tribute because its going to be left handed, and in 6.5 Creedmoor. I have had ZERO proper training in the use of optics. So whatever I get will be going with me to training and classes.

I'm needing scope recommendations and I'll list the ones I'm looking at. All of them are FFP and in MRAD. The rifle will be used in a predominantly bench rest, prone, competition, and class shooting role. It might go hunting with me as well. Max range I have access to is 1,100 yards. I though about getting a Leupold Mk 4 4.5-15x50 but its not FFP has mismatched MOA knobs on a MIL reticle, which I read on this sight isn't ideal. I was also warned that just because the military uses it doesn't mean its the best option. I'm a little nervous about "christmas tree" reticles as they look busy to me. However I realize that they might be the best option and I need to be open-minded and could be trained on it from the start.

Here are the ones I'm considering. My max dollar right now is $1,500

1. Arken SH4 GEN2 4-16X50mm FFP MIL VPR
2. Arken EPL4 4-16x44 FFP MIL VHR Illuminated Reticle
3. Athlon MIDAS TAC HD 4-16×44 APRS2 FFP MIL
4. BurrisXTR III 3.3-18x50mm - SCR Mil
5. NIGHTFORCE SHV 4-14X50 F1 .1 MIL -ILLUMINATED MIL-R RETICLE
6. Vortex Viper PST GEN II 3-15X44 FFP
7. Bushnell ELITE TACTICAL 3.5-21X50 DMR3 RIFLESCOPE G4P RETICLE

What's you're life expectancy?

They released the bodycam.



You're an ex-cop, with four of your partners, on video brutally beating a guy so bad he bled out internally three days later.

You've been charged with murder. Not much of a defense since it's all on video.

You're headed to a jail that is so ridiculously violent, it's had the nickname of Thunderdome for over 20 years.

Jane Fonda: ‘There’d Be No Climate Crisis if It Wasn’t For Racism’

Hollywood star and radical leftist activist Jane Fonda has declared that the current “climate crisis” is a result of racism, saying in a recent interview that “everything’s connected.”
Speaking this week on NBC’s “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Jane Fonda offered her theory on climate and race.
“Well, you know, you can take anything -– sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war, and if you really get into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it and — everything’s connected. There’d be no climate crisis if it wasn’t for racism,” she said.
When asked to elaborate, Fonda replied: “Where would they put the shit ?”
“Where would they put the poison and the pollution?” she continued. “They’re not gonna put it in Bel Air. They’ve got to find some place where poor people or indigenous people or people of color are living. Put it there. They can’t fight back. And that’s why a big part of the climate movement now has to do with climate justice.”

This isn’t the first time Jane Fonda has linked racism and the climate.
In a December appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” the two-time Oscar winner said that racist and misogynistic “mindsets” are causing the “climate crisis.”
Fonda’s climate activism began in earnest in 2019 when she led a series of protests in Washington, including one where she was arrested on Capitol Hill. She has since organized “Firedrill Fridays” — a series of in-person and virtual climate protests that recruit Hollywood celebrities to champion her cause.
Celebrities who have joined Fonda in her climate protests include Sally Field, Sam Waterston, Rosanna Arquette, and Joaquin Phoenix.

A good friend, veteran, spit on this traitorous bitch when she was at a book signing in Albuquerque many years ago. He's one of my heroes.

KRG Bravo vs MDT XRS

Looking for some first-hand experience with these 2 stock/chassis. My project is a 300 PRC for ELR shooting. My Origin LA is in NICS purgatory (Oregon, 2 month wait right now) and I've picked Straight Jacket Armory to do the barrel work (Benchmark blank, 26" MTU profile).

I'm now in the process of choosing a stocks/chassis. Easiest option is the KRG Bravo. Seems that everybody likes it and it comes already with a CIP length magwell to fit the 300 PRC mags (3.850").

The other stock that looks really interesting to me is the MDT XRS. I like the look and the fact that it has a longer forend than the Bravo, as well as MLok slots and changeable grip angle. The problem is the magwell is only standard AICS length. MDT told me that it could be adapted by a gunsmith removing 0.135" material at the front of the magwell.

Assuming I have the magwell opened up, is there any opinion on which of these would be better?

Suppressors Suppressor Mounts: Weight and Length

Hey folks!

I wanted to provide a summary of some mounting options out on the market for HUB or 1.375x24 threaded suppressors. There are a ton of systems out on the market, each with their own spec, weights, and lengths, and I wanted to highlight some of what I've found through experience, to help inform purchase decisions. Hopefully this sparks some discussion or encourages some thought about your own setups, and why you choose what you did.

I will say that I am currently switching to rearden atlas for my sdn6, coming from keymo and hellfire. This is temporary until I have a dedicated bolt gun can, but I want to share between bolt guns and gas guns...until my kgm r30 clears. Then it's back to hellfire for bolt guns for me.

Holler! Photos below for you visual learners.

Mount overview
System weight: muzzle device and bravo spec adapter weight.
Length added to suppressor: adapter length when added to suppressor.
Length added from barrel shoulder to rear of suppressor: length of total system when muzzle device is inside adapter.

Keymo.
System weight: 8.4oz.
Length added to suppressor: 1.15".
Length added from barrel shoulder to rear of suppressor: 1.32"

Area 419 Hellfire.
System weight: 3.3oz.
Length added to suppressor: 0.35".
Length added from barrel shoulder to rear of suppressor: 0.35

Plan B spec/Rearden Atlas.
System weight: 4.4oz.
Length added to suppressor: 0.5".
Length added from barrel shoulder to rear of suppressor: 0.65".

Keymo Pros.
Good lockup.
Industry support.

Keymo cons.
Heavy.
Long.

Area 419 hellfire pros.
Lightest overall.
Minimal length added.
Ability to run highly effective muzzle brakes when un suppressed.
Amazing return to zero.
Adapters for nearly every suppressor made.
Best for precision rifle applications.

Area 419 cons.
Looks goofy AF on small diameter barrels.
Limited muzzle device options.
Muzzle device is separate from suppressor mount.

Plan B/Rearden Atlas pros.
Light and compact for QD style system. Solid overall system.
Usable muzzle devices when un suppressed.
Effective taper mount.
Lots of aftermarket support.
Affordable.
Threads feel buttery.

Plan B/Rearden Atlas Cons

I've only put 320rds through the 308 Win barrel, and only 160rds through the Gradous 260 Rem barrel.

AI AT with 20" 308 Win barrel and Green skins
26" Gradous 260 Rem Barrel with barrel sleeve
Atlas bipod with AI spigot mount
3x 10rd AI AW mags

What firearm youtube channels do you like?

So I do overnight security for a gov contract, which means lots of sitting on youtube since it's all we can get on..... Also starting at page 1 I've made it to page 1349 of the motivational thread lol. What channels do you gentlemen prefer? What do you recommend? Any suggestions on good precision/long range ones that aren't dry as shit. When I joined I got sent some youtube links to Phillip Velayo to educate me on this lifestyle. I loved it educational but he has character which keeps me attentive. So far here's what I watch incase any of you are interested.

Vickers tactv-His older videos are great cinematics, educational, entertaining.
Garandthumb- Interesting unbiased gun reviews, military sense of humor, shoots cool shit
9 Holes reviews-Tests and pushes out military styled weapons out to different ranges, gives good history on things. I wish we had a range like the one he shoots at here in Colorado.
Vintage shooters club- I think he's the guy from ak operators union, shoots interesting weapons, can seem a bit off, love the camera though you see the trace on everything he shoots clearly.
Military Arms Channel- entertaining, cool firearms, but very professional really unlike most marinetubers I've seen so this is what I watch when people are in the office
Shawn Ryans channel- just seems like a down to earth Vet, keeps it real, pretty good shit on a lot of topics
TFBTV- Started off really good back in the day now it just seems like a new review on a glock every other week, shit has gotten boring.

What's the most horrifying two-animal hybrid you can think of?

Any two in the animal kingdom. Sizes can be adjusted within reason, i.e. a blue-whale/piranha hybrid is ok. Zeppelin-size bald face hornets, though disturbing, are probably pushing it. An alligator size house centipede is good to go, even with Joy Behar's head. Rabbit-scorpions, fine. Black-widow vampire bats? No problemo.

So then, two picks, any two critters, mashed up in the most terrifying nightmare-inducing, abominable combinations, whatcha got?

Firearms Speedy Build Remington 700 SA .308 Accuracy International Chassis 1.5 Leupold Vari X 3

Decided to buy an AI so need to recoup some funds.

I bought this from an estate and have not fired it. Gun appears to be never fired or fired only a few times Speedy build. Barrel is stainless and only marked S.G.& Y .308 that I can see. The action doesn't have a scratch on it and like I said bolt looks new. Has a match trigger of some kind that is super smooth. The AI chassis is like new as well. Leupold scope Vari-X 3 4.5-14x50mm scope mint condition with what I believe are Badger rings.
Harris Bi-pod

Any other questions I will be happy to try and answer

Asking $2500 shipped
