Been dabbling with precision shooting with an ar15 build I did and I enjoy it so much that I'm going to venture into bolt gun precision shooting starting with a build bc I also enjoy that as well. I'm going with zermatt origins action in 6.5cm and want to know what some good stainless steel pre-fit barrels are and what the best contour is for long range precision shooting?
Also what are some good chassis?
Thanks,
Justin

I would like to discuss/hear opinions on the technical aspects of the USSS Request for Proposals for a new rifle.
Not politics or anything that belongs in The Pit

I personally found the chamberings interesting, the possibility of a carbon wrapped barrel, required folding stock, and the requirement of a Tbac can should make people here feel warm and fuzzy

Quick TLDR is ...

-Commercially available in serial production

-Must be quick change barrel (no barrel vice)

- Camberings and barrels for 300WM 26", 300PRC 27", 300NM 27", and .308 24"

-*Offered* as Left or right hand

-No heavier than 16lbs empty with no accessories

-Stainless steel barrels, but carbon wrapped stainless is acceptable

-Single-stage trigger that needs to “be free of both perceptible creep, as well as perceptible over-travel” and a “trigger pull [that] shall not measure less than 2.0 pounds, nor more than 3.0 pounds.”

-Whatever ‘chassis’ the barrel and the rest of the action sits in needs to have a folding buttstock that can also be extended or collapsed, and that comes with an adjustable cheekpiece for comb adjustment. It also needs to have a mixture of Picatinny-standard and RRS-Lock (also known as R-Lock) accessory rails for attaching scopes and other accessories

-“The rifle shall be supplied with a Thunder Beast Arms Magnus-SR 30 caliber Suppressor, with secondary retention non-timed brake (SR NTB),” the contracting document says. “If the rifle fails utilizing the requested suppressor a Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 9 shall be installed and tested. If the rifle fails with the Ultra 9 then the submission will be eliminated.”

Hey all,
So I'm in need of some rings. I have a Gen2 PST 1-6 on the way that I'm mounting on a Howa Mini action. Now, let me preface here that I'm cheap. Not NC Star cheap, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for rings. That being said, is lapping rings still a "thing", or has modern manufacturing/consumer standards pretty much made that a thing of the past? I was looking at ....

Seekins
Vortex (aren't they made by Seekins?)
Weaver skeleton/tacs
Burris Xtreme
MDT

Any other recommendations? More importantly, any to avoid?

Here come the big one fellas. Get the gear!!!

Can we hit the pause button on the historical events for a day or two please?
I wouldn't be surprised to pick up my phone in the morning to see that China made a move to take Taiwan. If they were going to do it, now would be the time.
That drags us into WW3 and I can't imagine it would be too big of a leap to some sort of executive action declaring some sort of national emergency in order to suspend the election.

Here's what we know as absolute facts.

13 JUL 2024- Former President Donald Trump was attending a rally during the Campaign trail for this years election in Butler, PA. While on stage- a 'would be' assassin fired several shots towards Mr. Trump, one of which hit his ear and narrowly missed his skull.
21 JUL 2024- Current President, Mr. Joseph Biden announces via Twitter/X that he is withdrawing from the election. As of this posting, no address has been made to the nation publicly other than a 'tweet' and the 'paperwork' being filed, on a Sunday of all days which is well known to be a busy day for government employees.

22 JUL 2024- Ms. Kimberly Cheatle testifies under subpoena from Congress to answer questions regarding the Secret Service's performance on 13JUL. Breaking from the usual decorum of said Congressional hearings, she is subjected to multiple representatives of the committee using profane language and demanding her resignation if not calling for being formally dismissed from the position. Ms. Cheatle also deliberately and obviously obfuscated answering questions from the committee.

23 JUL 2024- Ms. Kimberly Cheatle resigns her position after being questioned by Congress absolving her from personal liability moving forward apparently.


Help me fill in the blanks for the timeline here... from what I can tell we have the following-

*The excuse that SS agents weren't deployed on the roof of the 'almost' assassin, because it was 'sloped'. Furthermore, it was determined later that the counter snipers were deployed on other roofs with a steeper grade in slope.

*It came out shortly afterwards that bystanders not only reported the 'almost' assassin being on said roof, reported it to police, filmed it, and came out later that it occurred for more than 2 minutes. Also the counter sniper SS folks had the person observed at some point during this exchange.

*We're being told that the security detail that was supposed to be patrolling that building (at least as of today) decided to 'beat the heat' and stay inside instead'.

*AOC of all people, I'm guessing on Monday, even asked why the security perimeter didn't exceed the range of such a common rifle as was used in the assassination attempt.

*Somewhere prior to 13JUL and the previous disastrous debate that was televised, standing POTUS, Mr. Joseph Biden, he was swept away from the public eye due to coming down with COVID. Between this timeframe, numerous celebrities that have been longtime Democrat supporters called for Mr. Biden to bow out of the campaign.

*We had a moment of 'back and forth' of who the shooter was and (a comment I was previously going to share) after about 48 hours we finally got the name shared to include the Middle name. There was also a blip of associations with the shooter and BlackRock but think that's been quieted down since this weekend.

*Almost overnight, the standing VP, Ms. Kamala Harris, secured the Democrat nomination without any primary elections or due process AND broke all records raising over $81 Million dollars seemingly overnight shattering all previous records despite being one of the most UNpopular politicians in recent history.

I'm sure I missed plenty but seeing if the Hide has anything to add to bring some more polish to this most recent timeline I'd appreciate it. I know there's several threads already discussing these topics but was hoping to converge them into a single timeline. If you don't care to participate, fair enough, I get it I'll just leave you with this then-

How does one BREAK a scope ring/scope mount without destroying the optic?

I see in another forum where they are talking about a certain brand of scope mounts breaking. I have shot some pretty serious rifles, with scope mounts that cost less than the 300-500 dollars these mounts cost without ever having the slightest bit of a problem. So, the question is, how does one break a mount without destroying the optic and other parts of the rifle?

The man broke up with the country in a Dear John letter(It’s not you, it’s me.) Then his doctor, the same doctor that has been telling us this man is 100% mentally sound and in great shape, tells us Joe is performing all his Presidential duties. Again no one in political authority is telling us this. It’s his doctor. Meanwhile it appears a coup is happening right in front of us?????????

playing with the idea of selling my HK G28 that was done by black ops defense. Rifle is built correct to the G28 spec. Clone correct eratac scope mount and aimpoint mount with shades. Scope is an S&B pm2 ultra short. Rifle probably has less than 100 rounds on it
Asking $10K for package would also consider partial trade for LMT Mars H, Geissele MRGG or GFR. M40A6 or xm3 DARPA rifle or scar 20

Ok so the story goes after the PRS match I did over the weekend I went to go and clean my barrel and after cleaning I wanted to check how things look with my new bore scope. I through on the 6mm mirror (shooting 6GT) and it started to get stuck in the barrel a short way in. I pull it out as soon as I felt it start to bind and when it came out the mirror had crack. I DIDN'T TRY TO FORCE IT THROUGH. I swapped to the .223 diameter mirror and took a look and found what you see in the pictures. This is about an inch into the bore. I’m going to take it out and shoot it to see if the barrel is done for but what your predictions on how it will go. This will suck if the barrels screwed cause it has a lot of life left in it.

Titanium blue. Great, undamaged condition. All original boxes included.

Ordered 1000 of these and popped open a box to check consistency as I’ve never run them and noticed striations running from the ogive towards the meplats. I assumed maybe from the pointing process or maybe cold forming but wondering if any of you guys have seen this and if it’s really anything to worry about?
