SOLD Factory KAC PVS30 L3 White Unfilmed Clip-On PRICE DROP

Looking to move to a thermal clip on, so this is for sale. Less than 3 hours of use on it. BLEM FREE tube. Email from KAC confirmed it is an unfilmed white L3 tube with a FOM around 2300. There is zero POI/POA shift. I have put it on my SP10 and taken it to 1100 yards. This unit smokes the single battery green PVS30s, PVS27s, and white L3 CNVD-LR I have compared it against in terms of resolution and light transmission. And again, zero blems anywhere in the tube.

It has only been used on a 6.5CM, 5.56, and 22LR. It is 3 months into a 1 year warranty from KAC (they can be finicky about transferring, but I haven't had issues doing so with other units that had defects). I have all of the paperwork to show that this is a legit unit that was shipped directly to me from KAC. You won’t have to worry about a knock on your door from a .gov suit in the future.

The pics through the scope were taken from my phone last night at 50 yds while it snowed. First picture is at 4x (no IR), second picture is at 8x (no IR), third pic is at 8x (with IR).

Will trade or work a trade for a CLIP-IR ELR, UTM/UTX, etc. Or $8500 firm shipped to you. I would also trade for a green single battery PVS30 or PVS27 and $$ so that I can invest the cash towards a thermal.

Happy to answer any questions you may have. Other Hide members have looked through the unit in person and can also verify or attest to the quality.

Manners / Tac Ops Possible Collaboration Build

Tom and I have been speaking about doing a collaboration build. The platform would be the Tac Ops X-Ray 51mf. That would be his T4A folder with a Badger Forward EFR mount with a Krieger Varmint contour barrel installed into a Surgeon 591 action & DBM. I’ll probably offer a 16 ¼ to 18 inch barrel threaded for a Tac Ops Titanium Can. He was thinking seriously about discontinuing the folder and I hope that he keeps it in his fine inventory of products.

We are still in talks about this collaboration and wanted to see who might be interested? We are talking about 25 to 50 platforms atm

SOLD Rimx/proof/Ep5

Barreled action, bix trigger, and arken EP5 up for grabs. About 500 rounds down it. Shoots the SK long range into tiny groups. Subs shoot not as well but that's to be as expected, however they are very fun with a suppressor. Group below was first 5 round group with SK long range. I'll probably regret selling this but to many irons in the fire. Included is roughly 900 rounds SK long range and 400 rounds cci quiet. (Suppressor not included)
Also comes with 2 mags
$2500 tyd.

May be willing to trade for ATACR or mark5 in mils.

I’m rebarreling a 28nosler and leaning toward 300 prc. Check my logic.

I want the gun to do what a 28nosler does- carry 1500 ft/lbs out to 800 yards. I have basic stuff for reloading, and about 100 once-used 300 prc brass, but if I can find factory ammo that does what I want, I’ll just save myself time and use that.

The other options.

Vs 300 win mag. I first assumed I wanted 300 win mag because of the availability of ammo. But I’m not seeing any factory ammo that gets 1500 ft/lbs at 800. A few hard-to-find and expensive options get it out to 700, but most of the typical 180grain stuff peters out at 600. I could get a 1:9 twist barrel, deepen the throat and shoot heavy bullets to get me out to 800, but why not just get a PRC that does that out of the box?

Vs 28 nos - quickly becoming convinced 28nosler is being made obsolete by 7mm prc. Everything about it is expensive and hard to find.

Vs 7mm prc - I don’t see any advantage over 300prc, unless you want less recoil. I put brakes on all my stuff, so not an issue.

Vs 338 win mag - kind of seems to be becoming obsolete- stuff is expensive and not so easy to find. Might as well get a PRC with slightly better inherent ballistics.

Vs 338 lapua- same as 28 nos. At $7 a round, I won’t shoot enough to become proficient with the rifle. I’d have to reload to get the price down enough to shoot a few hundred rounds without going broke.

Kind of seems 300prc is the way to go. Kind of stinks that honrnady eld-x is the only widely accessible hunting ammo, so there’s a chance I’ll wind up reloading. But all the options above would probably require reloading anyway, either to get the ballistics I need or to get the price of ammo down to a tolerable level.

Made a poll for the fun of it.

Night Vision Thermals

Long time listener, first time caller.

I have spent the last two weeks following a similar jump into the world of thermal optics this past summer and all I manage to do is confuse myself. I’m posting because I’m just frustrated and tired of running in freaking circles…I live in a small town so it’s not like I can run down to (fill in the blank) and handle/try out anything; I’m entirely reliant on the internet/forums and I’m just getting nowhere.

I’m looking for two things. The first and one that’s confusing me is a thermal weapon sight. I’m north of 50, I’ve learned to buy the one I want first because it’s far more expensive to ladder my way up and I’ll end up with that one way or another anyway.

Best example is probably early in my hunting career, also optics. I bought three sets of binos up until I finally got what I really wanted…a nice pair of rangefinder binos. Would have been way less expensive to just save up and get what I wanted although it’s nice to have a couple of pretty good binos for the kids or friends who forget or don’t have them or whatever. Also I never wonder if I could see better with a little bit better glass.

This stuff is far too expensive to go jacking around with and I don’t want to buy three to get the fourth that I really want, so here I am. I cannot be the only one who finds this incredibly confusing.

Plan is to buy Pulsar XR50’s for scanning and a dedicated weapon sight for rifle(s).

I think I’ve learned enough to know that 640 is an important number, I don’t care whether I can record video at all, in fact I won’t use that feature at all. I just don’t want to have buyers remorse. I’ll shoot inside of 300 and may swap between a .300BO and 6.5 Grendel, both are AR’s but primary is .300BO. I’d like it to range whatever I’m looking at and would like to zero a couple of reticles to my rifles/loads.

Of course the first question back at me is probably, “What’s your budget?” The answer is I don’t know. Maybe below $8k? $5000? No idea. Brand? Don’t know, don’t care. I like and run Trijicon and EoTech among other brands on different rifles but I’m not married to any of them. My open tabs on my ipad right now are, “I Ray”, “Trijicon”, “Halo-LR” but because I’ve got over 100 tabs open that’s just the start. I’m not above buying used either.

Would one or more of you who knows this stuff be so kind as to throw two or three brands/models out there that you believe will fit the bill? Say run the spectrum of $3500-$8000.

I should have done this about July so I could shop and potentially grab one at some sort of a decent price. Now is most likely the time that demand is strongest so I suspect price is not moving around much.

Will probably buy this first and wait on the binos…it’s a lot of $ and I dang sure want to know I’m going to use this stuff enough to justify the spend.

Since I’ve got you…are the Pulsar binos I mentioned what I ought to be looking at? Are there others/as good/better at roughly the same price?

Thanks guys, and I’m sure thankful for forums such as this where others give so freely of their experience/knowledge. I’d chime in if I thought I’d be helpful but since this stuff is NOT my specialty I just keep my mouth shut and am thankful for those who give so freely of their experience/knowledge to complete strangers. If you want to know something about inshore gulf coast fishing or smoking ribs…happy to oblige with what I know. That’s all I’ll claim to be half good at.

Bill Maher

He's a talented funny fellow and though I disagree with much of his rhetoric. He pretty well nails it here.

-Christ was not born on 25 December. Its the celebration of the pagan solstice. As Im going to prove in a follow up thread, Christmas is nothing but a lie deception. Santa is a foul lie foisted on children. I remember a Xmas cartoon that stood out starkly...All good things come from Father Christmas Im not being a scrooge, but think we all need to see the truth. Honoring a lie is almost always catastrophic.

-Our country was not founded on 'Christian' values. The words were "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. John Adams ". Many of the founders thought of themselves as deists'. Google it. To do what Johnson and many others want would be exactly contrary to separation of church and state.

best place to buy factory ammo these days? maybe family run?

i've tried ammseek but the top three "affordable choices" seem to jack up the shipping, one place wanted 120$ vs 50 or 60$ at the others. plus i had never heard of any of them. 2 of them had the exact same website format which made my paranoia crank up. i was thinking of using a smaller shop but they are so hard to find. might as well support a new business if possible. just getting a full case or 1/2 a case of hornady varmint express 6.5cm so it's not like a big order or anything

can anyone recommend a smaller store that may need business with the holidays coming up? maybe a long time member on here who has opened a new store? online or brick and mortar, doesn't matter.

went to the "resources" tab on here to look for forum sponsers but nothing is jumping out

FUDD Stupidity (but I repeat myself)

Lokel Yokel reported his precious firearm (hunting rifle) was stolen.

(1) Given to him by his grandad who has passed
(2) Left it in his car for 4 days

If it weren't for shit for brains, we'd have no brains.

Edit: all the fuckatrds on FB are "so sorry", "people suck"


YEAH FUCKTARDS WHO LEAVE THEIR GUNS IN UNLOCKED CARS SUCK. I wish it were legal to go give him an asswhoopin for makin us look bad.

Rifle Scopes Leupold mk5hd 2-10 vs USO FDN 10X(1.8-10) for SPR

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a MPVO for 5.56 SPR, I will use reddot for 1x, so don't really care about the performance under 3x. I narrowed down my choice to Leupold mk5hd 2-10 vs USO FDN 10X, however there is barely a review of those two on the net.
Looking for insights from anyone handled either of them, Thanks!

AR15 accuracy issues

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on an AR15 that I can't get to shoot. It's about 1.25-3MOA and very inconsistent. It's chambered in 6 ARC and it's a home build. I'm also not claiming to be an expert shooter but I've built 3 other AR15s and one AR10 that all shoot less than 1 MOA.

The rifle in question originally had a Shaw barrel and had the same issues. I tried disassembling and reassembling making sure everything was torqued correctly etc. I finally replaced the barrel with a Proof stainless barrel but I'm still having finicky results. I've got about 60-80 rounds on the new barrel.

Any suggestions on what I should check next? It does seem to have a little bit more vertical dispersion than horizontal so I'm almost wondering if it could be something in the handguard, barrel nut upper receiver chain. I have tried to put consistent pressure on the bipod, so off that's the issue, then this gun is far more sensitive than any other I have.

Other parts are BCM stripped upper receiver. Alexander arms bolt, Areo precision handguard. Aero lower parts kit, aero adjustable gas block, geissele SSA-e trigger, and Primary arms 4-14 R-Grid scope.
