Sighted this rifle yesterday. 50 yards 5 shots at 1/2” dot. It took a bit of tapping to get it centered of course. May not be perfect yet, had a bit of gusty wind. It’s close enough for 50 yard headshots on squirrels.
We have a snow storm moving in so first outing will be a rabbit hunt later this week.
Ammo is Winchester Super Match.

Hi Guys,

I bought some new Lapua Brass to start reloading 6.5 CM.
According to my math:
Brass thickness: 0.015 x 2 + 264 = 294 - 0.003 = 291
so i just got my bushing (L.E WILSON) 291 and start preparing the brass, but when i get to bullet seating (Lapua Scenar 139), it's really tight and hard to push it down ( i'm using K&M Arbor press for the seating)
What is your experience with new 6.5 Lapua brass ?

Thanks for your help.

Hey guys, looking at specs on a few scopes and I'm noticing some things that seem out of place. Keep in mind I'm a novice at this so maybe there's a perfect explanation. Or maybe the specs are listed wrong? I don't know. What do you think?

GPO Centuri
3-18x44i 23.3 oz, 13.3", 90" of elevation, 30mm tube
2.5-15x50i 22.7 oz, 14.7", 110" of elevation, 30mm tube

Doesn't it seem wrong that the 3-18 would be over an inch shorter and only a half an ounce lighter? The strangest thing to me is why it would be so much shorter? Also, with the same tube diameter, why would the internal elevation be so different?

Not my deal but I thought @sirhrmechanic might enjoy a look.

Hello Hide,

I think this is the 3rd time I've broached this subject within the past year but feel like I've somehow fucked up again.

My father recently celebrated a birthday (a celebration I wasn't invited to despite living "close enough") that entered him into a new decade. I completely blew it in that regard- I thought the milestone birthday was next year but... nope.

I'm the eldest of 3 siblings, everyone else lives across other states (and we couldn't have pulled off bringing everyone together at the point). That said- I feel somewhat obligated to direct these type of things and corral my brothers/sisters but frankly I don't know how old even I am at this point without asking my wife let alone how old my parents are. Not offering that as an excuse either- just an explanation of where I'm at.

As I mentioned, I can't help but feel like an unspoken expectation falls on me as the eldest child (far from the favorite child) to rally my siblings into having a later celebration for our father. But I'm not gaining much ground there (and before anyone asks he was as good a father as he could be-no issues there, if I would hazard a guess, it's just dang expensive to pull off a celebration is all and everyone is/has been struggling in their own ways.

So that all said (and yes I tend to be lengthy in my posts), one of the things that really bothers me is I don't recall this particular struggle ever being a 'thing' decades ago. Growing up- we always knew we'd go to my grandparents (about an hour or so away from my childhood house) for 'lesser' holidays like Father's Day/ Mother's Day/ Memorial Day/ Veterans Day/ etc and the more "important" holidays such as Easter & Christmas the grandparents would visit their children's houses (but you better believe everyone would visit their house around that time too).

I can't speak for anyone else- but I can't help but believe my own father has the same expectations but the "realities/differences" exist that their kids cast a much wider net than his own siblings did. A long trek home was a 2 hours drive but now it's a plane ticket for the children and their families (TL/DR: thousands of dollars to bring their own families back to "home base").

Anywho- I'm just venting and complaining that I feel that as the eldest child & closest living child I was supposed to make this particular birthday about 10 degrees better than it ended up being (and didn't) It just seemed a lot simpler even 30 years ago on what was expected and what was done but the rules seemed to change rather drastically and I'm still waiting on the updated playbook.

It’ll come as little surprise to anyone here, but the recent “protests” by Illegal Alien Invaders (“IAI”) and what they REALLY want has been intentionally buried by the Fakestream Media.

Login to view embedded media
They don’t want to be or become Americans. They want to either retake or sieze as much of America for themselves as possible. They have no desire or intent to assimilate. They want to push their “La Raza” agenda (“The Race”). They are genuine racists who believe in the superiority of the Latino above all other races.

It is widespread. It is irrefutable. They are criminal invaders.

Anyone hear anything on this, someone just sent it to me. Is it legit?

2684fps low

can a shitty barrel do that? even his Douglas seems extreme and thats no shitty barrel.
garmin problem?
what other info do we need here?
i chrono’ed my buddys douglass barrel and his had a 95fps spread.
2837fps to 2742fps over only 5 shots.

Needing some advice. Story goes like this: I tore down a Remington 700 chambered in 243 with no more than five boxes put through it wanting to build a competition rifle chambered in 6mm creed. Teardown went great and assembly went equally as good. First ammo I put through it was some Hornady eld-m with no problems. I bought a couple cases of Norma Golden Target, shot a couple boxes with no problems and some pretty good groups. All was good until I had a “click” and no boom. Recocked the firing pin and another click. Pulled the round and saw a light primer strike. Didn’t think anything of it, chambered another round and another click but this time no strike at all. Looking into it I found several fired brass that had “inverted primer strikes” by that I mean they were not a crater but a dimple like they flowed into the firing pin hole. Also found one that had a perfect circle cut out of it which I found inside my bolt assembly along with a bent firing pin. I figured that my pin failed somehow and caused all this and went on a search for a new one. I decided to purchase an entire assembly from PTG instead. All was good except for the first half box and then the same problem came back along with the problem that when you run the bolt home with any haste the firing pin will fall with the bolt handle when closing unless the safety is on. Now, before I get hammered about Remington’s trigger problem this is not the factory trigger but rather a Triggertech although the same thing happens with the factory trigger and a jewel from another rifle. I called PTG and they said they “knew what the problem was” and would send another bolt. Got the second new bolt still acts the same but now it also drags on the sides of the slot in the receiver that the bottom of the cocking piece slides through. My factory trigger has a small window where you can see the sear engagement with another piece and when you run the bolt home too hard you can see that the sear slides past that piece and the pin will fall as the bolt closes. If when they disengage from one another you back the bolt up ever so slightly they reset and the group functions as normal. I’ll up load any pics needed and can measure anything to the best of my ability this one is Messi no with my head and needing a little directional input. Thank you all in advance!

Hey guys,

I've got some basic questions that my google fu is weak on. I'm just going to go ahead and list my questions in no particular order. Any help would be appreciated. These questions are only applicable to Thermal as that is what I am interested in.

1. Do you need an illuminated reticle to use with a clip on? I'm a little confused as to how visible the reticle will be without illumination overlaid on a digital screen.

2. Obviously this is clip on dependent and seemingly subjective but how much low end magnification can you get away with using a clip on? I was hoping to be able to use a Mk5 3.6-18. I'd rather not buy an LPVO if I can avoid it. By the same token, if say my optic is 3.6 on the low end, will this be similar to listed native magnifications on thermal scopes, ie "base mag of 2X". Would 3.6 effectively be my "base mag"?

3. To the best of my understanding, there are only a few commercial grade clip ons that supposedly don't require collimation. The Sig offering and I believe the new Armasight clip on. Am I missing any?

4. RE: Zeroing profiles and collimation. Lets say you have four guns and four zero profiles. Do you have to collimate the optic each time you place it onto a different platform and switch zero profiles or is that somehow saved within the zero profile?

I think that about covers my questions for now. If I think of anymore i'll add em!

Thanks guys!
