Full Build - $2000 Budget

I wanted to get some ideas on how others would spend a $2000 budget for a full rifle build (stock, action, barrel, bipod, scope, mount, rings). I’m currently in this boat, looking to build a rifle for NRL22/long range target practice (300 yards).

Currently, I’m thinking:
- Bergara b14r steel actioned barrel
- KRG Bravo
- Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 or Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27 (mil discounts)
- Harris bipod
-unknown mount and rings

SOLD AR-10/LR-308 Barreled Upper Aero M5 .308 16" Multicam

Built this because I thought I was going to be 12-16 weeks out on a McGowen 6GT barrel and they had it built in 4 weeks. Took it out Saturday just to function test it, after adjusting the gas it put 3 rounds of Hornady ELD-M touching at 100 yards, not bad for a budget upper. It has a total of 6 rounds through it.

Aero M5 Upper
Hontac 15" M-LOK Rail
16" Diamondback .308 Barrel
Aero Click Adjust Gas Block
Threaded 5/8-24
Multicam Dip by Rahoffer LLC
Mil-Spec Dust Cover & Forward Assist
NO Charging Handle
NO BCG

Looking for $310 shipped. Can add 14 rounds of Hornady ELD-M factory ammo and 60 rounds of Norma Whitetail ammo for $60.

Optics Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 F1 Mil-XT w/ spuhr 3060 mount

I have a NF NX8 4-32x50 F1 with the MIL-XT reticle. A very very nice scope that has only a couple of range trips on it. It wears a spuhr 3060 mount and has never worn rings (no scope marks). I have original box for both items. I don’t want to split the mount or scope so they are a bundle. I included a note with my user and date for those that want it. Feel free to check my feedback too.

How do you carry a DSLR/Mirrorless camera while hunting or hiking?

Hello.

I hope this finds everyone in good spirits and hopefully remembering the sacrifices that took place on 9/11.

I wanted to ask how people carry a DSLR or Mirrorless camera while hunting or hiking. I bought this semi-rigid case and planned on keeping it on my hip, or maybe on the side of my bino case ( Alaska Guide Creations, classic with MAX pocket). I seems like it'll be kind of bulky on the bino pack, though I don't mind a heavily loaded chest rig.

Thank you for your answers, I'm sure you guys have some great insight.

Best regards.

6.5 Grendel Build or Buy

A buddy is twisting my arm to get into nighttime yote hunting under thermal or NV.

I’m going to use this to justify a new build in 6.5G. So I am on the fence about NV vs Thermal-but that needs more research and a budget set by me.

I’m looking at the LaRue 6.5 match upper-but my buddy is admit-must be a 20” barrel. I’m not really seeing the gains for the 2” of barrel for a rifle that will live inside 300 most of its life and rarely reach 500.

That being said I’m down to the LaRue upper on a LaRue lower or building on a geissele receiver set I have laying and ordering up a proof stainless 20”.

I will be shooting suppressed, once my cans are freed from the federal pen. So much for E-forms being quicker.

Given y’all’s experience, which way would you go? Am I missing anything?

SOLD ZCO 5-27 MPCT1 sold

Up for sale is ZCO 5-27 scope with the MPCT 1 reticle. Scope is in great shape, it’s been mostly a safe queen on my long range rifle, no matches shot with it. Only reason I’m selling is I decided to go all one optic and reticle and this one doesn’t match up. I have some 36mm arc rings and a 36 mm mount (RRS i think) I could sell to buyer of scope for a good deal. I’ll have to get details on them. Also need to verify if I have the original box for this.

Sold shipped payment via discreet PP f&f

Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42 vs NF ATACR 4-16x50

I am in the market for an optic to mount on my Seekins Havak element chambered in .300 win mag. The two that I am considering for my applications are the Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42 and the NF ATACR 4-16x50 (SFP).

The optic will be used 80% of the time hunting in the mountains of northern and central PA, with the occasional trip out west for elk and muleys.

My biggest dilemma is that I like the price point ( have discounts for both companies, though) and weight of the razor lht but I am concerned with the durability and quality vs. the NF. Likewise, I find the NF MIL-R reticle more appealing. Both optics are second focal plane as I find that more appealing for my broad range of hunting scenarios. But I am also interested in the warranty between NF and Vortex since I've eaten shit a time or two with my optics (hence the durability). Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input and opinions.

TLDR:
Razor lht is much lighter and cheaper but is it better or just as durable as the ATACR 4-16?

SOLD MPA Matrix Pro Chassis

I can do payment via Venmo or Paypal G&S. If paying via Paypal, buyer needs to add 4% for fees.

MPA Matrix Pro Chassis (Tungsten) - $1,200 OBO SOLD
- CLICK HERE FOR PICS
- Please note that the previous owner had this chassis professionally bedded for an Impact 737r, so that's that. That didn't bother me, as that's the action I had planned to put in it anyways. However, I have too many builds/things going on, and never got around to using this. It is used, but still in very good condition.
- Ships with internal weights, external weights, NVG bridge, 3 thumb rests, and 4 trigger finger supports. I believe the grip on it now is the "Vertical 3" grip.

Trade Interests:
- Nightforce NX8 1-8x FC-DMx MRAD
- Eotech Vudu 1-10x LE5 or SR5 MRAD
- MK12 Mod 1 Upper
- B5 Precision Stock (Short)

Surveillance-proof phone?

Ok… let’s forget for a second that this is Erik Prince. And that the OS, etc is made in Israel… that spies on everyone. And that the source is OAN (at lest more believeable than CNN)….


But comments about the technology, the market (huge?) and the possibilities.

Seems like this is a huge potential opportunity for some techies.

Will USG even allow? Or call it a weapon and send people to jail for it like they did with encryption algorithms in the 1990’s?
