Modern "ART"

People actually gathered for... and then applauded... this so called... "performance".

Ladies and gentlemen!!!
(I can say that because our president has confirmed there are only 2 genders)

I give you... "modern art".

I should be so full of hope after this last election, but all I can think of is this old meme.

DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

Last week at SHOT I met with the folks at DNT Optics. Looking at the products, they are gonna do a SH Package to pair several models like the 7-35x, 5-25x and a 3-18x. With that pairing I suggested a reticle for the members. I was thinking we can do one like the old IOR build where we all throw an idea into the pot and boil down a winner.

So with that said, what elements in a reticle would we like to see,

1. Floating Dot

2. XMAS Tree

3. .2 vs .25

4. What above the center crosshairs

So let's discuss ....

DO NOT LOSE YOUR CARD!

Uggggghhh! What a nightmare! My debit card must have fallen out of my pocket when I was "hittin' the head" in a public facility. Instinct #1 kicked in and I got the card blocked. Thankfully, no "nefarious" activity prior to blocking.

That said, there were two transactions that were "on hold" pending resolution. One involves a rental car I'm returning later this morning. They have a $300.00 deposit "on hold." Hopefully, they can release the hold and it will drop. But I have to find another way to pay them because the card can't be used anymore and I don't get the replacement until Thrs 01/30. The charge they made covered both the rental amount and the deposit. Hopefully, if they release the hold, I can either let them debit my checking account directly or I can write them a check. I'll do either one. Or, they're nice enough to wait until Thrs. Nah, not happening. And now I have to change all the "automatic debits" active on the debit card and hope that none of them bounce before I can on Thrs.

Moral of the Story: DON'T LOSE YOUR CARD! Be sure you look around after you "complete the paperwork" when in a public facility!

New Lube for me

A friend told about CherryBalmz lube and balms. https://www.cherrybalmz.com/ I have been using Otis dry lube for my Kidd SG and all of my rimfire's. But, my SG still does not do well in cold weather. His Kidd does about the same as mine in cold weather. He used their "Winter Balm" for extreme cold weather. in 20 degree weather and it worked 100%. I got mine lubed and ready for this week. I will let you know how it works. I got the buy 2 get one free. I got the Bolt Balm, winter, and rimfire, they are tiny bottles, it takes very little, should last a long time.

Remington M700 6.5 Creedmore opinions.

I’ve had a weatherby vanguard 6.5 Creedmoor for a while and while it is serviceable as a hunting rifle, it just doesn’t hold tight groups as I would prefer. I’m not able to drop the big bucks on high end precision rifles so I kept my eyes open for a possible replacement. Not too concerned about looking pristine as long as the bore is fine and it hopefully shoots as desired.
So, I bid on and won this REM Model 700 that hopefully will fit the bill. The exterior has expected usage marks but they say it has an 24” threaded heavy target barrel with excellent bright bore. I’m hoping this will lend to better accuracy than the thinner vanguard barrel. I expect with the heavy barrel and laminated stock the entire package will be a good bit heavier than the vanguard with its tapered barrel and synthetic stock.
Though the matte grey phosphate finish isn’t perfect on this rifle, I would think it’s finished would be ideal for taking a future Cerakote or Duracoat spray finish of choice, if I ever decide it is necessary.

As Remington 700’s go, are there any opinions on this particular make and model, good or bad? Please share!! Did I do good?
Rifle should arrive Tuesday for better pictures.

SOLD Swarovski SLC 15x56 Binos

selling only, sorry no trades.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

for sale:
USED pair of Swarovski SLC 15x56 binoculars.

these have had plenty of match use for the last few years and show the regular signs of use.

the issue that needs to be taken into account is the right side objective bell.
at a match the arca clamp came loose and when moving the tripod the binos fell off and impacted the concrete.
there was damage to the rubberized housing and a slight dent on the end of the aluminum barrel.( see detailed pics)
there was zero harm done to the glass or any other functionality.
my choice was to send them swaro to get fixed at my cost or just run them as is....i chose the latter and installed hard flip up caps for added protection.(the aftermarket caps are not included, just the factory rubber covers)
other than the obvious flaw and general use, all the glass is perfect, no scratches or blemishes and they function as they should.



binos come with original box, paperwork, case, straps, etc...........

$1250 shipped conus.
pp, pmo, venmo accepted(if using pp please pay FF or add any additional fees

if additional shipping insurance is desired that will be the responsibility of the buyer.
package will ship via UPS with signature confirmation. if you wants to use another carrier let me know....but i take zero responsibility if you choose USPS

send me a pm if you wish to purchase, then post in this ad that you will take them

thanks and if you need additional information or pictures feel free to ask.

Question about carbine length vs mid length

Assume all else the same - you have 2 uppers, one is carbine length gas system, one is mid length, 16 inch barrels in 5.56.

If you wanted to use one on a close quarters AR build with a red dot, and one on more of a medium distance range toy with an LPVO, would you have any preference as to which rifle got which upper? Either one perform any better for longer distances vs close quarters?

The AI Arctic Warfare Picture Thread

This thread is for AW's (AWSM, AWM, AW50, etc.) ONLY.

Lets keep chatter to a minimum here. Take it to the general AI thread to converse.


(Note: SH either lost or deleted the previous thread after yesterday's site maintenance *sigh*. So this is going to be take #2. I reached out to SH support to see if we can get that one back but they have not said anything.)
