I’m building a 308 to learn the long range game (hopefully switch to 6mm creedmoor after I’m proficient), maybe shoot some PRS matches - impact action, foundation stock, bartlein barrel - I’m thinking about going w the Cronus BTR gen 2 however this doesn’t seem to be super popular amongst shooters from all the pics and posts I’ve looked at…am I crazy for looking at this optic for this purpose?

For sale. Atlas BT46-NC. This is the PSR standard height without a clamp. Choose your own clamp for arca, picatinny, etc...
A few minor scuffs from shooting matches. Includes a Victor Company Atlas Tension Wrench to lock out pan and tilt. Works great!
$230 shipped in conus. Paypal gift preferred.
Thanks for looking, MBanning

I’ve got 2 so this ones gotta go. Stiller predator, 24” proof carbon, xlr element MG 4.0 with folder, jewel hvr trigger. This will come with 50 pieces of new ADG and 50 prices of 4x fired ADG, Redding type s bushing die set (with bushing) and a brand new box of 500 Berger 180 hybrids. If you’re local to Washington state I can also work in an 8lb jug of RL23.
The chassis is brand new and custom painted from Viking armament, carbon buttstock, folder, and ergo grip. Barrel has exactly 200 down the pipe with a mild load of rl23. The trigger is set and tuned by rbros rifles at 1.5lbs. I also have 2 different thickness recoil lugs for this action.
Barrel is 24” 8.4 twist proof prefit. I’ve never weighed it bare but doing a little math, taking weight off scope and suppressor and other accessories it should be 7lbs 2 oz bare rifle. Throw a scope on it and you’re ready to hunt.

Scope, rings suppressor and tripod not included.

$4000.

Hey gang... new to these forums, so be gentle. I did search the forums for similar and found some info that I found useful, but wanted to ask the question anyway to see if there is any additional info specific to this situation.

I have a new Remington 700 Magpul edition .308. Less than 100 rounds through it thus far - all on the range.
22" barrel, 1:10 twist rate
Vortex Viper PST II 5-25x 50mm Scope
ASR muzzle brake(not mounted when pic was taken), but no suppressor used this day.



Took it out to the range a couple months ago when I first got it to zero the scope. Everything was fine... rifle definitely out performs the shooter.
Couple months pass, and I picked up a bench rest and bags and decided that I wanted to re-zero the scope to fine tune it. Just used bi-pods last time. Crude I know, but was good enough to be effective.

Went to the range, and proceeded with zeroing the scope. Was using factory S&B 168gr HPBT rounds for this. Everything was on point. You can see the final result of the zeroing. 3-shot group at 100yrds. So I was pretty happy with this.... then I switched over to test several small batches of some hand loads.



The hand loads use Barnes 168gr TTSX BT. The accuracy and precision was dreadfully bad, and after collecting the velocity data across several small batches, I just assumed that my hand loads were just garbage.

As such, I opened up a new factory box of Barnes VOR-TX 168gr TTSX BT. Put several rounds of that into this group and it performed just a poorly as my hand loads. Only commonality between the hand loads and the factory loads is the same projectile.


As I said, I thought my hand loads were just terrible, but since the factory ammo performed just a poorly, that made me pause.
I really expected the factory Barnes ammo to at least group well, even if not dead on since I zeroed with a different bullet.

Unfortunately, I did not have any S&B ammo left so I did not get a chance to send a few more of those rounds to see if it was just the ammo or something else.
Checked all scope mounting hardware, muzzle brake, etc and nothing off there.
I am going to clean the rifle really good and I have a borescope on order so I can inspect the barrel better...
I know some rifles can be finicky about ammo, but surely this is a bit extreme, right?
Also thinking about copper fouling in the barrel... I wouldn't think so much since I just had near perfect performance minutes prior... and I would think that would be a more gradual degradation and not some thing so sudden and severe.

I know the S&B ammo uses a copper jacketed projectile and the Barnes is a solid copper projectile... but surely that can't be it, can it? I haven't seen any notable negative reviews of the Barnes factory ammo or these specific bullets, so I would expect to get decent performance from them.

Anyone else run into similar issues and is there anything else that I should be looking at?

What is a good 50 bmg rifle for fun and I don't know...end of the world or what not?

So the consensus seems to be against using AR-10’s in PRS, but I‘m not sure I know all the specific reasons why. Saw a @lowlight video where he mentions the recoil cycle is harder to control/maintain consistency. Obviously AR-10’s lag a little in velocity when comparing apples to apples with bolt actions. Are these the only two reasons against using them in matches?

Are they a major handicap or only a slight handicap compared to bolt guns?

So, I'm new fairly new to reloading. Taking in all the information I can. I watch a lot of videos and other things. This however was intriguing. Reloading all day on I.G, and they have a website reloadingallday.com these people or person seems to know a lot. Ballisticians, talks with a lot of experts. etc. Here is my conversation. In the picture. He is saying through extensive testing that seating depth does not do anything for the accuracy of a rifle. Anyone find this to be true or complete B.S. he seems to know his stuff.

I have noticed it’s only liberals still wearing the virtue/ pro big gov masks, when asked they all are “immuno compromised”, if they are so sick they need to wear a mask any time they are outside, probably be dead in a decade no?

Selling a dresser tech, srs. Comes with a 338 lapua kit and 260 rem kit. Also has a new atlas bipod. Would like to sell In one lot. $3400 obo. Everything is good shape. Comes with spare mags and tool.

Note, I am kinda new on here. I've purchased a few items over the years. Will arrange a phone conversation with serious buyers if interested.

I had a rifle built the specs on it are a McMillan a5 stock impact 737 action and supposed to be a bartlein 6mm creedmoor barrel with 7.5 twist. 20” barrel. I was shooting hornady match 108gr eld factory ammo. The scope is a zco 4-20. Took it out brand new today and I was getting keyhole impacts any ideas? The distance was 50 yards with a free hanging paper target here’s some pics

I recently bought a right handed cz457 even though im a lefty. Kind of wishing I got the left handed version now. Guess I could always get a left handed version later and have this one for my wife or friends to shoot. Just looking to see what other lefties prefer.

Read the site rules you agreed to when joining. Do not sell outside PX. Do it again and you will be banned.

Generally speaking, I'm a bolt gun guy....but I do own an older DPMS AR-15. It mostly sits in the safe, but my son has shown a recent interest in it. I'm wondering about the feasibility of swapping out the upper, adding a better trigger and scope, and ending up with something he can shoot at steel out to 300-400 yds (recreationally).

In your opinion, would something like this make sense, or would I end up spending money on something that isn't worth it once assembled?

Thanks!

Well after buying my first load of railroad ties 6 years ago and having a life happens moment I got around to finishing the new range. I can engage targets from multiple angles of the property with the rifle, mostly .22LR, but can handle any rifle with the 1/2” AR500 steel silhouettes and gongs. The plate rack and decision tree are also AR500. Even both KYLs are AR500, the smallest only for air-rifle or Rimfire. Max Distance ~125yds.

Picked up the decision tree when my brother and I were at one of the Knob Creek Subgun matches. The plate rack came from https://www.spartanarmorsystems.com/diy-ar500-plate-rack/ as a kit and a buddy of mine welded it up for me. All the other steel targets came from Shootingtargets.com. They are local to me and after I place an order I have it the next day.

The backstop is backfilled with sand that tapers back from the wall. I put limestone down to keep from tracking all the sand that was the base. A buddy of mine has a sod farm and is going to drop off a skid of sod to “dress up” around the limestone and around the edges of the backstop to help with erosion.

Was released on Apple TV, pretty good flick. Wonder how true to life it was, or was it dramatized for entardtaintment?

Anyone in the construction business, whatever happened to stamped steel replacing 2x4s for residential construction? I thought this was touted as the next great thing, especially with lumber being such poor grade....

Yet another thread about airsoft stocks for rimfire rifles, sorry in advanced.

Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of getting a Bergara B14r barreled action and dropping it in the airsoft versions of the M40A5 or an AICS chassis. It seems like one of these with an HMR bottom metal would be a drop in fit as long as the airsoft version is 1:1 scale. I know trying to drop the B14r in the AICS chassis might take some more DIY/fab work to make it fit since the 700 footpring and the AI footprint are different

Anyone else do anything like this?

(Yes I already know this is probably not the most cost effective idea, I just kinda want a fun .22 clone of something haha)

I got a batch of loaded 6 dasher using 3 times fired(from my rifle) alpha 6 dasher brass. About half of the batch started having chambering issue today.

The problem is the bolt cannot be closed.

70% of the unchambered rounds can be extracted using the bolt's extractor, the rest 30% need to use cleaning rod or some kind of tool to pull from the back.

I compared FL resized brass with fired brass, 0.002inch difference, so I reckon resize part should be good.
Then I measured neck diamater(outside the neck), it is almost identical between unchambered round and round can be chambered.
I also checked the ogive between rounds can be chambered and cannot be chambered, it is.the same.
Lastly, I checked the outer diameter close to the extractor grove between fired and unchambered, it's almost identical.

Same load has been fired in the same rifle few months ago.

And same thing happened on a 308win rifle too, only differenc is on the 195gr ELD bullet of the 308 unchambered rounds, there is some scratches, which I thought could be seating depth issue, but will need to verify this shortly. No marks on the 6 dasher ELD 108gr bullet.

But for the 6 dasher's chambering issue, any suggestion or direction would be really appreciated.

UPDATE:
I also pull the bullet out of a loaded round but could not chamber, compared the headapace it is same as FL resized brass, but even the unloaded brass with only primer can not be chambered, so it was able to fire last time, but after resize 0.002inch, it.can not be chambered, how does this make sense?

UPDATE 2:
So I pulled all of the unchambered rounds, FL resized, check chambering, no problem, expand using .242 mandral, chamber no problem, charge then seat the ELD 108gr bullet about 0.025inch from lands, check chambering, some still could not chamber.
I don't get it, how could seating bullet causing loaded rounds not chambering? And it seems this only happened randomly within the same batch.

I've had a couple PM's asking about the second generation Bering Optics Super Yoter clip on. The main question seems to be "how good is the image at range". I thought I would post these here for others who might be interested also.

I'm not going to call this a comparison, because we all know it's not an apples to apples test because the Yoter is in a wider FOV class and it's a third of the price. But I will say that within a couple hundred yards and under 10x the SY-Cii holds its own very well image wise. Plus it has onboard recording, is smaller, and has the larger FOV. I wouldn't have hesitated to spend this winter hunting with it if the Eotechs hadn't come along.

These pics were taken back to back. I've got more at 700yds I can post later if anybody is interested.

Also note, at 2.5x I'm loosing FOV with the Yoter. There is more past the edges.
