Importance of changing Lop/eyerelief?

Modern High magnified scopes are really picky with eyerelief and not forgiving at all.
Mostly shooters adapt and do the best they can in the situation but I belive as I see a need of it that the distance in the future will be easy to change.
Different clothing, ballistic armour, shooting stances all are moving you’r eye away from or put it to close to the scope.
100 years ago it didnt matter if distance from eye to iron sight was 12 or 14”.
30-40 years ago magnification was way less and this the eyerelief less sensitive.

So why do we in 2022 use gear that we have to compensate by forcing neck to get closer or further away for the wrong eyerelief?

The easyest solution is to change LOP so eye comes at correct distance to the optic.

I assume for a proffessional sniper it is way more problematic as a five hour standoff in a weird shootingposition probably get very tiresome?

I been shooting Sako TRG folder since 2010 and it was an eyeopener.
Really easy to change Lop, but sadly without memory so if trying to change it on the run it can easaly be to short or to long.

On Sics chassi this was my first and most important festure, to have a quick change LOP with memory so i have two positions that I preset and then alternate betwen.
And its done in a second.

I use different LOP due to different positions and prone gets usally around 1” longer Lop.
Different clothing changes Lop a lot to.

Pictures here is for my main huntingrifle that I made a similar solution some years ago.
This is not a product, its a prototype and it makes my life easyer.

So what is you’r opinions about the eyerelief issue?
Does it bother you?

Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

Search didn’t find any discussion newer that a year ago.
Has anyone here used this scope extensively and able to give a solid review? Looking at the FD-2 reticle.

Considering it for a lightweight hunting rifle project. While SFP isn’t my first choice, the rest of the features on this scope check all my boxes. I can slum SFP on this project.

Russia's Staggering Losses In Ukraine

Russia has lost as many troops in the last 7 months of fighting in Ukraine, (almost 54,000), than we lost in 10 YEARS in Vietnam! Their equipment losses are even more staggering.

This war is going horribly wrong for Putin. It is devastating Russia both morally, as well as economically. They can't keep this up, and Putin knows it. Last week someone from his elite inner circle gave up his location. They hit his limousine, and damaged it.

Ukraine is now taking back captured Russian territory with the advanced weapons they're receiving from us and other countries. The Javelin Missiles are proving to be devastating to their tanks and armored personnel carriers.

The people of Russia are turning against him, and he is on borrowed time. It's only a matter of time before they get him. He has cost the politically powerful Russian oligarchs there billions of dollars in seized property and currency worldwide. They are NOT happy with him.... And remember, they are the ones who put him in, and keep him in power.

And even if these numbers are inflated by 50%, it is still staggering.

is this throat work acceptable?

I recently ordered a 308 barrel processed from a Bartlein 4 groove blank. At this point, I don't want to reveal the name of the company. But I received the barrel today and immediately examined it with my bore scope. The throat seems concerning: each of the lands at the throat showed at least some degrees of machine marks. In addition, in the second image, you can see this rifle land's transition is not smooth at all. In the third image, the transition of the two adjacent rifle lands is not consistent - judged from the bore scope, the three rifle lands' throats look deeper than the last one.
Should I be concerned and sent this back? This is supposed to be a precision rifle build. I don't think the throat is looking very good compared to my Wintac AI barrels. My 3 Wintac barrels have a very smooth transition in the throats, with no machine mark at all.

Strange issue with Rem 700

Here’s the breakdown, hope someone can help. I bought this Rem 700 off of here a few years back. Blueprinted, PTG bolt with Sako extractor and spiral fluting on the bolt, 2 Proof research barrels and a Chip McCormic trigger. Anyways, here’s where the strange issue started.

It shot well, 1/2 MOA still, but I wanted the heavier steel barrel and had the carbon one pulled and figured I would toss it on later if I ever wanted to hunt with it, it’s mostly used off the bench or prone. Then I had all the metal redone, went to the range and shot even better. I noticed if I ran the bolt hard I started having the sear trip, did some adjusting and it kept happening. So I yanked the trigger and ordered 1.5# Timney and the Timney HIT for my new Bergara B14R. When I pulled the CMC trigger I realized that it’s an all in one unit and I needed the spring and bolt stop, so I ordered one.

Just finished installing it all, functions perfectly, all safety checks done, love this flat trigger over the CMC. But the bolt stop, the piece the goes up into the receiver rides along the fluted bolt just enough that it causes a strange ticking sound as it glides over the flutes. Can I file that down a bit so it stops with the sound and not effect the function. It’s not hurting anything, it’s just mildly annoying. And how much can I take off before it’s an issue?

Accessories 3D printed Tac Table

Eli, My 11 year old is now making Tac Tables on his 3d printer. They are roughly 5"x8" which is the same size as a Schmedium bag. We added 1/4 holes for mounting accessories around the edges, and two along the center plane. There are also slots so you can strap a bag using the AG gear Schmedium bra, or the Wiebad gear gray ops mini plate bag. This tac table also has a built in ARCA-SWISS adapter to mount it directly to your tripod.

I have been testing this table since February and am very pleased with it. Its a great alternative to a machined table, or a good starter one.

Here are some of the other things he is making




45$ shipped CONUSA and available colors as of now is Black, Orange, and Green. If you would like a specific color, just let me know!

Wilson arms barrel borescope question.

So I bought a borescope a few weeks ago, just out of curiosity, looked down my criterion and learned some things, then looked down a ballistic advantage barrel and yikes. Those pictures are for another day.

Bought this Wilson arms barrel blank from ragged hole barrels for $185.00 and was wondering a few things. Very new to the bolt action world. not 100 percent sure what I'm looking at. I didn't see any tooling marks to my knowledge? I understand it's only a $185 barrel. The only thing I did see was this. What would cause a nic/pit like that? (It's circled in red.) Anything to concern myself with? Any other thoughts on these pictures?

Narcan doesn’t save lives

So the big pharma folks pushing opioids on one hand and Narcan with the other… use the slogan “Narcan Saves Lives.”

What utter bullshit. Narcan kills.

It does so in many ways… by prolonging addicts long enough that they can, well, do what addicts do.

— Narcan keeps junkies on the streets so they can Sell more drugs and hook other people to support their habits. Every junkie creates more junkies.

— Narcan Keeps junkies on the street where they turn to violent crime.

— Narcan Gives the impression that fentanyl and opioids are save and risk free, upping the demand and creating bigger markets for violent cartels who are murdering people in the thousands for control of the trade.

— Narcan lets junkies think they can “maintain” a lifestyle of addiction that looks normal… until they drive their car head on into an innocent driver, which has happened multiple times here in the last few years.

— Narcan puts first reponders at risk…

Narcan saves lives… not a chance. It is dramatically prolonging the opioid and fentanyl crisis by making them look safe and risk-free. And the longer it goes on the worse it gets.

Every Worthless pos “saved” by Narcan goes on to kill many more and addict many more… directly or indirectly.

Show me some junkie saved by Narcan who has gone on to win a Nobel Prize or invent a better lightbulb…. Or do anything useful.

Narcan has made everything worse… and made the pharma company selling it… billions. Solving a problem it helped create.

Ban Narcan and the drug epidemic, along with its related secondary effects, goes away in weeks.

Prove me wrong.

Permanent ban from Reddit

So I was in a thread, called r/NY guns. Someone mentioned the election being stolen, and the mods removed the comment, and said they didn't allow "election misinformation" I then proceeded to tell them to "go f**** yourselves you your mother's D****" and then was permanently banned within 30 seconds of it being posted. I thought Reddit was "edgy." When did they stop allowing free speech on thier website. What's the world coming to?
