Burris Customer Services at its worst, please help/advise. (UPDATE: 09DEC23)

A few months back I had ordered (2) New Burris XTR Pro's direct from Burris and after my first outing with them I decided to give both scopes a cleaning, during the cleaning I noticed not just one of the Burris Pro's had debris inside both the Bell and Optical Lens but they both did to an extent it's was visually noticeable while using the Scopes.

Both scopes also suffered from gritty magnification rings that felt like they were rolling over gravel and one had a issue with the parallax not being properly calibrated.

I contacted Burris Customer service and informed them of the issues, they were extremely helpful and sent a prepaid return label, and off they went.

About three weeks later I received a email stating the issues had been fixed and they would soon be on their way. I contacted Burris and to make sure all the issues were addressed, the customer service rep was extremely helpful and even went in back to physically verifie both scopes were repaired and there was no debris inside the scopes. You would imagine my surprise after receiving both scopes back that they still had debris inside on all lenses and only one of the magnification rings was fixed.

So I contacted them again, and just like before the customer service rep was polite and helpful and agreed there most be some issues in the clean rooms and the repair techs missed the magnification ring issue. Again they offered the prepaid shipping label but this time would send out new scopes. Outstanding!! I even told them that I will be using these scope for a Review on Snipershide for a Custom JP LRI-20 and I would make sure to mention their Outstanding customer service 👏 👏👏and out they went again!

Three days again I received another email that said they were sending out my scopes, and just like last time I called and verified that they were sending out two new scopes. Once I reached Customer Service they again verified that was the case and I thanked them again for the outstanding support.

And that brings us to today about a hour ago I received both scopes back and guess what?, yup! same two scopes only this time obviously nothing was repaired just sent back to me just like they left.

Again I called Customer service, this time I got Shawn on the line told him who I was and that the exact same Scopes that I had just returned came back to me not the new ones.
Sean was immediately defensive and stated that on their side the system says two new scopes were sent out, and all he could do is send another shipping label.... Oh Joy! As I try to explain to him that these are definitely my old scopes he decided to cut me off and hang up.

Ok.. Shawn is having a bad day, so I called back again and Shawn picked up so I asked him why he hung up on me and he said I was arguing with him, well yes I was because I was trying to explain that these are definitely my old scopes because I took photos of the serial # on both before I sent them back last time and you can still see the ring marks, the caps that I marked and the blue painters tape I used to seal them up.

20231116_174601.jpg


At this point instead of dealing with Shawn's bullshit and piss poor customer service I asked to speak to his supervisor (Yup total Karen move!) But at this point it's my only option, Shawn states he's not available, cool I'll wait! Then Shawn says he's not here now...lol Okay and again I ask to speak to ANY supervisor because this bullshit needs to be resolved, Shawn replies then don't be our Customer and hangs up.

Did Burris merge with Larue?? What in the actual fuck?

Rifle Scopes Leupold 5HD vs XTRIII vs ?

Hi guys,
I'm wrapping up an accurized small-frame AR build and trying to finalize a decision on the optic. Looking for something in the MPVO category (~3-18x)

After a lot of reading, I've been considering a Leupold 5HD 3.6-18 or the Burris XTRIII. The summary seems to be FOV and eyebox go to the XTRIII, while Leupold wins in glass quality and size/weight. Any other reasons to pick one over the other in 2023? Illumination would be a bonus, but not a necessity for me.

Other options I've weighed are picking up a used Razor gen iii, a Stiener t6xi 2.5-15, or an Athlon. The Ziess S3 sales caught my attention this week, too, but not sure I want to go as big as a 4-25.

Anything else I should be looking at before hiting the order button?



What is the platform for the scope?
Small-frame AR

What cartridge are you shooting?
.223

What is your intended use for the scope?
Range/PRS/scoped carbine course

What type of conditions will you typically shoot in?
Daylight

What are the typical distances you intend to shoot?
300-600yds.

Are there any specific specifications you would like?
3-18x or reasonably similar size/weight class

Get Woke Go Broke a case study: Peloton in free fall

Older story... but Peloton (maker of trendy bikes that cost way too much and come with remote trainers because millenials need gold stars every five seconds... But the company is still in free fall and doing worse.


Now here is their 'answer' to turning themselves around. An utter ESG extravaganza of characters who are simply not part of the Peloton Demographic. And set to a song about gang violence.

Login to view embedded media
Let's get real... outside a handful of NFL or NBA players... the demographic for Pelotons is trophy wives in suburban and urban areas who are trying to keep off the fat so that their rich attorney husband does not divorce them for a hot thin young chick. It's not fat milleniels living in trailers by the river. It's not gangbangers. It's not, by any stretch, the fat, ugly people in the pictures. None of those folks fit an image that Peloton buyers relate to... want to look like... or aspire to.

But look how woke it is! It has every oppressed minority in it. It has giant Rachel Dolezal hair. It has everything that your urbanite woke leftist moron could pack into a commercial (including a theme song about gangbanging)... at an expensive luxury product aimed at cute blonde fuzzy-bunny trophy wives living on the upper west side and in Cos Cob.

THIS is why ESG and Get Woke Go Broke are so retarded. This company is doomed. It's finished. Its image is now... shot. It was flying high during Covid... people were buying these things to replace their 'closed' gym membership. They had such momentum. But not only blew the sales curve once Covid ended... but have now rebranded their over-priced 'toys' towards people who don't have a pot to piss in and certainly aren't putting Peloton in their trailer or their Section 8 housing.

Can't wait to see these folks auger in totally. The sad part is that they will take a lot of 401k's with them. Because Woke Investment counselors and hedge fund managers look at this shit and put YOUR money into this crap. And then you lose your money. Because Peloton and its idiot ad agency (and marketing stooges) pissed it away.

Well, it'll be fun to watch it implode. And as Christmas Season approaches... the last thing you want to do is buy this crap! Noone will be around to support it in another year.

Meat grinders

Quick question for the guys processing their own game. I see no sense in paying close to $200/ whitetail for some guy to make bologna for me.

Wondering if I could get suggestions on a mid level grinder that allows me to also stuff casings. Before you tell me to go be poor somewhere else, I’m not buying a $700 grinder. Looking for a mid tier model that’ll be reliable for 3-4 West Virginia white tails a year.

Thanks!

SEEKINS SP10 6.5 Creedmoor 22" ODG: Experience Part 3: More Details and Discoveries

I am listening and learning some great info. Meeting some very expressive folks and helpful ones too.

Check out part 1 and part 2 if you missed the action. There's before and after bore and chamber borescope pics. As well as lots of interesting and expressive commentary.

About me: Shooting AR's (small frame) since 1996, building them since 2005. (Late 90's Complete factory Bushmaster, Aero Precision, 2A Armament, CMT (ambi), SanTan (ambi-set), ADM UIC SL(ambi), Complete M4 Colt lower, Complete Larue Stealth 556/223 Wylde) Also own two 6.5 CM bolt- Tikka T3X Tac A1, Sig Cross (post recall)

Quick recap:
I purchased my first large frame gas gun, after much deliberation over a Wilson combat or V Seven DIY build vs factory
I will probably still DIY a Wilson Combat or V Seven Harbinger build later this year for a lighter weight setup, stalking/brush rig. Or pick up a POF Rogue on BlackFri/CyberMon deal?

HERE IS WHY I chose the Seekins SP10
Great reputation, base gun for USASOC spec and GA Precision. Very good ambi-lower design and I found one in ODG. Some don't like ODG but it's actually a bit greener and a bit lighter and a lot nicer than any of the pics I have seen online. Yes, I'll post some pics of my setup soon.
Since I have not bought my mountain homestead yet, I can't step out my front door and snap shots (Neither image nor powder burning). Plus my carbon tripod has not arrived yet.

I like the SP10 so far.
Excellent Ambi lower design, Very nice cerakote job, I could find no flaws. Well thought out hand guard design. Nice and rigid, some of the screws that secure the hand guard to the upper receiver were slightly proud. They were all inspected and none were cross threaded. I tightened them all to 18in/lbs. which is what they appeared to have been installed at.
Teeny tiny amount of wobble in the upper / lower (fix with accuwedge?). Un-fenced left side mag release but it seems stiff enough to resist accidental mag drops. Magpul MOE grip angle not vertical enough for my taste. Replaced with a Reptilia CQG.
Mounted a Griffin Plan A, Mini Flash hider suppressor mount so I can use my Dead Air Nomad LT or YHM.

Replacing the grip revealed something interesting. The Seekins SP10 lower receiver selector spring hole is ever so slightly more rearward than any AR15 small frame I have ever worked on. The Magpul grip spring hole is large enough to be within tolerance. However, the Hogue 15 and Reptilia were not. This caused binding of the selector lever. I had to slightly drill the Reptilia spring hole to stop from binding the selector spring.

What I have found out so far:

Packaging / Versions:

There might be 4 different variations of Seekins SP10 produced since 2020. I am going to attempt to clarify this with Seekins.
Earliest ones came with ATC brake installed, Timney 1-stage 3lb trigger, Magpul PRS Stock, large hard plastic case with full piano hinge
Sometime between now and 2020, they started using their own X10 Stock which has a tool-less adjustable Cheek pad (up to .25" travel) and LOOP adjustable via two allen bolts and addition of up to two provided spacers.
The latest one has a thread protector installed, ATC brake separate, Triggertech trigger, good sized Nylon covered hard case OR Cardboard box with Laser cut foam.
Mine was marked 2/2023 and did NOT come with any ATC brake. It came with a Timney trigger, Seekins manual, warning card inside the hand guard, Seekins X10 stock, Two butt stock spacers, 4 butt stock screws. No hex wrenches to adjust the gas block. (It takes two sizes) 20 Round black PMAG. (not in bag)
NOTE: The manual describes how to adjust the gas block but does not specify what size hex wrenches to use.
In a Plano GunGuard case (msrp $29) which would not fit the scoped rifle without a bit of distortion/wrangling.

The dealer of purchase replied: "it's factory new, it came with what it came with and no support (from them) after transfer is complete"
Seekins has not replied as of today but they do have a note on their site saying they are a bit backed up at the moment and may take several days to respond. ( I am not worried )

SP10 BOLT:
As far as I can see, there is no description of the bolt on Seekins site. So here is what mine came with:
Appears to be slick black coating or surface treatment. Possibly Nitride? Bolt is similar finish. Features dual ejectors at 1 and 6 oclock with slightly chamfered lugs.

SP10 Spring is Flat Wire
Gas System seems to be rifle gas + The front of the gas block is slightly protruding from the front plane of the handguard.

I'll be breaking in the Seekins SP10 with Magtech 140gr FMJBT
I just ordered some match and hunting ammo:


HORNADY MATCH 6.5 CREEDMOOR 140 GRAIN EXTREME LOW DRAG MATCH HOLLOW POINT - 20 ROUNDS10
FEDERAL PREMIUM GOLD MEDAL 6.5 CREEDMOOR 140 GRAIN SIERRA MATCHKING BOAT TAIL HOLLOW POINT - 20 ROUNDS10
FEDERAL POWER-SHOK 6.5 CREEDMOOR 140 GRAIN JACKETED SOFT POINT - 20 ROUNDS5

Here are borescope pics from After the first cleaning. I am going to clean it again. (they were in part 2 but buried at the bottom inside a reply)

Tracking deer with no blood

Anyone here ever kill a deer that didn’t leave a blood trail?
I’m tore up at the moment. Grunted in a monster buck and thought I had a good shot on him (aimed mid body behind shoulder slightly quartering away); if I’m being honest, maybe a little high.
Arrow passed through, but very little blood on arrow and nothing on the ground.
Need some advice. High lung? Backstrap? Dead deer? I’m at a loss

Thanks
