SOLD WTS Vortex

Strike Eagle 1-6 with AR height offset mount. This has been on my AR for about 4 months now with maybe 450rds down the pipe. Very gently used. Looking to sell to purchase something more powerful and NV compatible.

I have the original box and stuff that come with it from Vortex.

Thanks for looking.

Pics tomorrow.

Asking 230.00 shipped.

Doc

Mcmillan edge cracked. How bad is it?

Well I was cleaning my 300wsm and noticed I have developed a crack from my front piller to to the magazine well. I emailed McMillan but haven't heard back yet.

Where would it fall in? From safe to shoot. Or ok to hunt with but keep an eye on it. Or unsafe and don't shoot until fixed?

It's my main elk rifle and elk season is November. But it's also my backup deer rifle, although I'd have others that could fill the deer rifle role. This is pretty much my only elk rifle.

Suppressors Suppressor selection, 6.5CM AR10

Looking to add a suppressor to my 6.5 CM. 26” barrel built on an AR10T chassis, weight and length not a consideration, this is a dedicated bench/prone rifle. Prime consideration is not affecting precision at range (500-1000 yards), but want to have good suppression also. Mainly shooting steel with the occasional hunt/cull, most of our locations while rural have some houses etc and trying to keep said locations by not making a ton of noise. Do not really need the ability to switch between rifles, have a dedicated large bore can and SMG can, about the only thing it may also go on would be a heavy varmint rifle (same thoughts). Would like to buy quality for the long haul without going overboard. Would run an adjustable gas block if needed. Thinking TBAC Ultra 9 at this point but looking for suggestions and pro/cons.

SOLD WTS ZCO 527 MPCT2 w/ Spuhr 6001

Looking to sell my ZCO 527 MPCT2 and Spuhr SP-6001. I bought it from mile high back in 2020. I included pictures of every scuff. No scratches through the finish. I want to sell them as a set, I don't have any other 36mm scopes. I don't have any reputation on the hide, and haven't posted for years, but I am more than happy to send pictures of me, the scope, and my license in front of this add, or facetime. If you are in the DFW area I am more than happy to meet up in person one evening or weekend day.

Scope and spuhr 3300

Something odd in my bolt

I need some help with an issue on a .308 build. I have a rifle that generally performs well. Recently I began noticing 2 things. 1..... the ejected brass is very dirty, and 2.....after some firing the BCG locks up and no matter how hard I pull on the charging handle I cannot get it to budge. I thought maybe the rifle it is over-gassed and hence so dirty and fouled that the cam pin is too fouled to move and the bolt face then cannot turn to unlock from the barrel.

When I took it apart to clean it, 15 of these little fellows fella's out of the bolt.....I am unsure what these are. I am firing Hornady Black 80971 rounds....not my own shitty reloads or anything like that.... 308 Win 168 gr A-MAX® Hornady BLACK® - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc

So my brilliant idea is putting an adjustable gas block on.....which I have done. But in cleaning the weapon before re-assembling it, I saw these things fall out of the bolt. I am sure their presence is what is causing the rifle to lock up.....

Any idea what these are and any idea what may be causing this?

Any help is appreciated.

PRS Cartridge change advice

New PRS shooter here, went from a 6.5 Creed shooting 140’s to a 6.5x47 shooting 123 Scenars now looking at the 6BR/A. I got to shoot someone’s BR only at 300 yards but really liked the recoil impulse and accuracy, never owned a 6mm so have a few questions for you all. Would it be worth it to move away from the 6.5x47 to a 6BR/A? I like the idea of the BRA getting alittle more MV and using 109’s. I hear it’s easy to fire form BR to BRA, and like that idea since I want to keep things as simple as possible if Iam going to fire form. I currently have Varget and CCI 450’s from my x47. I like the idea of the BR/A because of the Lapua brass, ease of tuning, longer barrel life I hear about. I really like the 6.5x47 but wanted to hear from the guys that have switched and see if it’s worth the change. Again Iam fairly new to PRS but want to make sure I spend wisely if Iam going to make the change. Thanks

China - something is up?

I’m seeing social media reports of Chinese military units rushing to their capital, a freeze on flights into and out of the area, and a news blackout with rumors swirling about coup attempts or (more likely) an internal house cleaning of political figures who oppose Xi. Anyone have a good read on what’s up? Official propaganda sources such as bbc, fox, etc are all radio quiet.

Accessories WTS lathe supplies and True Bore Alignment System

I had a lathe on order but due to some health issues with my wife, I had to cancel the order.

I have a brand new still in the box Straight Shot Gun Smithing True Bore Alignment System. I was waiting on a precision Matthew’s 1440GT so this kit has a D1-5 spindle attachment and comes with a Gator 6 jaw chuck. Asking $2200

I have some indicators and a JGS floating reamer holder as well if there’s any interest.

I didn’t post pictures because everything is in brand new in the box but would be happy to open them up if need be.

PRS Talk Backpack for PRS matches

I shot my first two PRS matches this season and I made a list of needs and wants of items to buy going forward. One item high on the needs list is a backpack. Right now I’m using my Midway USA range bag to carry my gear but with the addition of a tripod I now can’t move everything from stage to stage in one trip. A backpack will be much easier to transport my gear leaving my hands free to carry my rifle.

What packs are people using and seeing at matches? Im looking at options from Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier, Eberlestock, Kifaru, and Kuiu. I currently run a Kuiu Pro system for my hunting load out and very much like it, but I don’t like to mix my hunting gear with other disciplines. I don’t think the pack needs to be very big. Somewhere in the 2,000 cubic inch range should be plenty.

Both of them work perfectly fine and are accurate.

'She and I go back a long ways. She was 12, I was 30.'

FJB recognizes a face in the crowd at a Teachers Union, leers and stops his speech to tell the woman 'You better come say Hi to me. We go back a long ways. She was 12. I was 30...(She) helped me get a lot done.'

WTF??

Whats even worse is the teachers cheered and clapped. I'm beginning to believe grooming and pedophilia now earns extra credit in the teaching profession.

When did Americans become so F*cking Stupid?

In hindsight, I started noticing the beginning of the end in the late 90's,early 2000's. Then it accelerated at breakneck speed during the Obama years. With the election of our current mentally disabled President, I realized we're done, finished. Seriously, how did our population get so fucking stupid so quickly? Just look at the current political situation. The Democrats have basically destroyed our economy, increased crime 10x fold, energy costs are through the roof, mentally disturbed freaks that can't decide what gender they are are setting the agenda, we are being invaded by illegals at the border, etc. Yet, unbelievably, at least 50% of our population will still vote for these idiots. In my mind, no sane person would elect a single Democrat ever again. Yet they have a real shot of keeping control of Congress. How the fuck can this be? A lot of it is these stupid fucking women (and pussy beta males) who are incapable of thinking critically about anything other than abortion. They can't afford to eat, drive to work, their rent, aren't safe in their neighborhoods, and their kids are being indoctrinated in school by leftists. But the the most important thing for these cunts is that they can have an abortion every few months. These women are controlled by their vaginas, and by god they will vote to protect their right to be sluts even if the country is falling apart around them. I don't fucking get it :(

Take a look at Pennsylvania for example. You have a candidate for Senate, John Fetterman, who basically looks and acts like a dirtbag thug with his goatee, hoody and tattoos. The guy could be a spokesman for Antifa and fit right in. He can't even speak since he had a stroke a few months ago. Yet this guy is going to win the race, mark my words. Are Pennsylvanians really this idiotic? Apparently yes. Then you have that bald fuck in AZ, Mark Kelly. The guy has done nothing but support Biden's agenda. He supports open borders in a state like Arizona. You would think this guy wouldn't get 10% of the vote. But he is going to win, no question. Then you have that twat Hassan in New Hampshire. A leftist whose only campaign promise is to keep abortion legal for the women in the state who get pregnant every few months. She has no other agenda, none. But she is going to win the election. These are just a few examples.

I honestly and truly believe the best years are behind us and they are never returning. It's all down hill from here. And it's all due to the utter stupidity and lack of common sense from our fellow Americans. Most of whom are dumber than a fucking tree stump and have no business voting. Rant over and no apologies from me given or offered.
