Help me identify a "specialty" car brand.

I'm trying to find a custom car brand. It's a kit car but not a kit car. It's a brand but likely built on the chassis of an existing car. It looks like an old style car but is new. It kind of looks like the pic below but I believe it's topless and possibly a roadster. I want to say the brand begins with a Z, but not positive. My Googlefu is lacking on this one.

Bolt shows uneven firing pattern on face, and shines the brass case head upon extraction.

Just like the title says. Brass has been fire-formed (two firings), rifle won't group better than 7/8" regardless the load, and I have a few of these calibers with established data.
Shiny/clean on one half, dirty and carbon fouled on the other.. What would cause this? Since none of my other actions exhibit this pattern from chamberings from the guys listed below, my first thought was the barrel wasn't correctly indexed and trued prior to chambering. Would that deficiency show up like this on the bolt face?

Would appreciate some meaningful input from some of the masters on here, thanks for any help @LongRifles Inc. @Frank Green @spife7980 @pmclaine @Supersubes

Rifle Scopes ZCO Warranty Experience

Does anyone have any experience with ZCO warranty and customer service? I'm considering taking the plunge into ZCO but saw they have a limited 2-year warranty on electronics and ambiguous language on everything else. Basically I'm interested in comparing ZCO's warranty with Vortex/Leupold no-questions-asked warranty. If I drop the scope, crack a lense, etc, will ZCO cover me?

If this has already been asked, please let me know but I couldn't find anything.

5 value scopes image quality comparison

Since no one asked for this, I thought I'd take some time to take some photos through these value oriented scopes.
Arken ep4
Arken ep5
Arken sh4 g2
Athlon argos g1
Bushnell MPO ED

One thing I noticed as I did this was that all the arkens require I readjust the camera focus for each magnification. This phenomenon is less an issue while using the scope, but through a camera lens was a big issue. I took time using an external large screen to view the camera output to adjust the focus properly. The Bushnell and athlon did not exhibit this issue.
I took these using a Nikon d600 with a 50mm f1.8 lens. Distance was about 75 yards. Images downscaled to this resolution from 24mp.
I hope these images do the scopes justice and that this post is useful to someone.

Texas to Sanctuary Cities: Gear Up, More Migrant Buses on the Way


Texas Ramps Up Busing of Migrants from Border. (AP File Photos)



The State of Texas is telling mayors of sanctuary cities in other states to “gear up” as “more migrant buses are on the way.” Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered additional buses to transport migrants being released onto the streets of border communities.
“I have directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to deploy additional buses to send these migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities and provide much-needed relief to our overrun border towns,” Governor Abbott said in a written statement on Friday. “Until President Biden upholds his constitutional duty to secure America’s southern border, Texas will continue to deploy as many buses as needed to relieve the strain caused by the surge of illegal crossings.”
The governor tasked the Texas Division of Emergency Management to increase the number of buses available to move migrants released onto border-town streets to sanctuary cities in other states. So far, these cities include Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles.
TDEM spokesman Seth Christensen told Breitbart Texas on Saturday, “The state of Texas has access to as many buses as necessary to provide relief to our overwhelmed border communities from the massive number of migrants being processed and released by the federal government onto their streets.”

During the first three weeks of September, Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 87,000 migrants who crossed the border into the five Texas-based border sectors. This is an average of more than 4,100 migrants per day since September 1.
The Texas-based sectors account for nearly 60 percent of all migrants apprehended along the southwest border with Mexico, according to unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas.
Christensen told Breitbart there is a near-constant flow of buses out of the Rio Grande Valley Sector cities of Brownsville and McAllen. The RGV Sector is the busiest of the Texas-based sectors this month, with the apprehension of more than 31,000 migrants in three weeks, the reports indicate.
The Del Rio and El Paso Sector apprehensions fell slightly behind the RGV Sector with nearly 29,000 and 25,000 apprehensions, respectively.
“President Biden’s continued refusal to secure our border invites thousands of illegal crossings into Texas and our nation each day,” Gov. Abbott stated. “Texas communities like Eagle Pass and El Paso should not have to shoulder the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration caused by President Biden’s reckless open border policies.”
The Office of the Texas Governor reported:
In April 2022, Governor Abbott directed TDEM to charter transportation for migrants who have been processed and released by the federal government into Texas communities. To board a bus, a migrant must volunteer to be transported and show documentation of their release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
To date, Texas has bused:
Since Abbott began busing migrants to these sanctuary cities, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has become an outspoken critic of the Biden administration’s policies on border security and immigration.
Three days ago, Mayor Adams warned President Joe Biden of the “tremendous toll” the “asylum seekers” are placing on his city, Breitbart’s Elaine Mallon reported. His warning came as the president prepared to travel to New York City for a meeting at the United Nations.
“President Biden is coming to the city,” Adams said on Thursday. “New York doesn’t deserve this. The asylum seekers don’t deserve this.”
The president, however, did not meet with the outspoken mayor. Instead, he met with New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
“Had a very productive conversation with President Biden tonight regarding some of our specific requests for help with the migrant crisis. Also commended him on his leadership at the UN today,” Hochul posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Since beginning the migrant busing program in April 2022, Texas bused more than 40,000 migrants to the cities of Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles.
