"Best" stock for precision 223 ar15?

I havent put together a rifle in a while and decided to go for a 223 wylde ar15 build. **I have all different size ar's from 7.5 - 20 inch but my 20s are more just your A4 types. parts arent exaxtly "precision" level lol. I have built different caliber ar15 and ar10 type precision rifles in the past and for the most part, all the interals are the same as far as higher quality parts.

That being said, I've always kind of just stuck with the mapgul prs stock (rifle buffertunbe). I like the gen 1 and I have 1 gen 2 and it's just as good. I havent tried a gen 3 but I've heard it's about an inch longer in the LOP. I'm 6'3" so the LOP isn't going to really change anything. I did try a LuthAR stock once and hated it.

Im just seeing if there is anything "better" than the magpul prs stock that's out now.

should i sell outright or find a trade to make weight?

I've recently gotten into more IBS stuff and have tactical gear, shooting tactical class. I kinda want to swap around so i can make weight for light class. I'm sitting on a nf atacr 5-25 in a spuhr mount and its heavy.... heavy heavy. Also in an ai chassis with bipod. I'm pretty sure that i can make the barreled action work in a benchrest stock with something more like the NF benchrest scope and make weight. Any opinions on whether it would be easier to sell then buy new stuff, or try to find a BR guy looking to get tactical gear?

thanks for the feedback in advance.

So even if it was a stolen car and even if they actually knew the difference between states why handcuff a minor child ? And by the way the car was not stolen.

Is this why no one from Epstein island has been arrested- no one is smart enough to figure out which state ALL the doxxed names are actually from?

Spotting scope $1000ish

I am looking to get a spotter. Primary use will be spotting game (deer) from the truck window or tripod. At this point I don't expect to haul it into the backcountry so size or weight doesn't really concern me.

At this budget I can't be to picky on zoom range. As for distance I would say the further the better but I realize I am not buying premium so again I can't be to picky.

Cabelas has razor hd 20-60 on sale right now. That falls well in my budget.

Maven has a 15-45 for 800.

Not sure what else to look at. Not interested in anything from China. I can deal with Philippines or some other country.

Can this be done with my budget or should I just wait?

SOLD Knights Armament SR25 Vero Beach Pre-Ban

Knight’s Armament SR25
Vero Beach, FL Pre-Ban

9.9/10 condition. I can’t definitively say, but I’m confident it’s unfired. There is no carbon anywhere and the gun is immaculate. Original waffle style Armalite magazine.

This version of the rifle is rare “standard” model as it utilizes an A2 post and a floated M16 style handguard. The carry handle is removable. The 21xxx SN puts it as late 1993 based on my research.

I got it with the intention to do a MK11 build but I have too many other projects I’m working on currently.

Asking $5000 shipped and fully insured. You won’t find one in better condition. May do partial trade on higher end optics but must be FFP and MIL/MIL. Open to offers on cash and cool stuff.

Local to Cincinnati, OH for face to face.

REPORT: Not One 8th Grader at LeBron James’ I Promise School Has Passed State Math Test in 3 Years!


lebron-james-addresses-the-media-following-the-grand-opening-of-the-i-promise-school-on-july.jpg



Not a single 8th grader at the I Promise School LeBron in Akron, Ohio, a school founded by LeBron James, has passed their state math test in three years, and critics are blasting the school for its unkept promises.
When LeBron James dropped into Akron with great fanfare and media coverage in 2018, promising to fund a new sort of school to help educate young people in his hometown, many hailed him as just the savior the city needed. But did James’ “I Promise” school fulfill its promises? Test scores are showing that it hasn’t.
Now, even Akron school board members are beginning to question James’ commitment to actual education and wondering if it was more about burnishing his reputation as a philanthropist than a serious effort to reform and reinvigorate education.

Last week, members of the Akron school board began taking a closer look at James’ so-called I Promise school and found that real academic achievements are few and far between.
The state of Ohio also found problems.
Per Yahoo News: “Two of I Promise’s biggest subgroups of students, Black students and those with disabilities, are now testing in the bottom 5% in the state, landing the school on the Ohio Department of Education’s list of those requiring targeted intervention.”
Akron school board President Derrick Hall said he was “disappointed” by the school’s serious deficits.

“For me as a board member, I just think about all the resources that we’re providing,” Hall told the media. “And I just, I’m just disappointed that I don’t think, it doesn’t appear like we’re seeing the kind of change that we would expect to see.”
Keith Liechty-Clifford, the Akron School District’s director of school improvement, said, “It is discouraging.

James’s school makes airy assertions about how important education is on its website on a page touting its “I Promise Method.”


With education as the driving force of change, the LeBron James Family Foundation is not only spreading that impact and improving lives of inner-city students and families, but also shifting the course of an entire community. Focusing on his hometown of Akron, the Foundation’s I PROMISE program provides year-round resources, access to opportunities, supportive skill development, constant encouragement and other wraparound supports to more than 1,300 Akron Public School students who have all been guaranteed college scholarships if they do their part. These efforts have culminated in the groundbreaking new public school – the I Promise School – that is taking an innovative approach to providing a challenging, supportive, and life-changing education, creating a new model for urban public education.

James earned much media praise for dropping into Akron in 2018 to announce his grand school funding ideas.
“This is a huge moment, not only in my life, not only in my family’s life, not only in the foundation’s life but for these kids and for the whole city of Akron more importantly,” James said in a speech on opening day. “This is a huge moment for all of us.”
But it soon came to light that Ohio taxpayers were still paying most of the school’s expenses, just like any other school. More than 75 percent of the funding is still coming from government sources.
There is also still inner-city crime to deal with on the campus of James’ school, too. Last year a teen was beaten to death in the school’s parking lot.
Now the Ohio Department of Education is about to pour even more state-funded resources into the I Promise school in a desperate attempt to increase test scores.
In hopes of turning the failing school around, the Akron School District has assigned a new principal for the coming school year. That candidate, Stephanie Davis, pronounced her hopes for the future.
“One of the things I’m most excited about coming into the I Promise School is the optimism and energy around getting our students to a level of achievement we know they’re capable of,” Davis said. “At the recent board meeting, our preliminary (state testing) data was shared, but it’s important to note that proficiency is based on mastering grade-level standards.”
But Board President Derrick Hall also tried to take the heat off LeBron James’ foundation, saying that criticism should be on the heads of school officials, not the foundation. “The foundation’s not here to educate our kids,” Hall said. “That’s our job..
Still, it is remarkable that despite all the media stroking James received for his school investment plan, he is also getting a pass for that same school’s utter failure to educate.

So a closed door meeting. I wonder if this is going to have any real ramifications. Or just more noise in rabble.

Scope: Hunting 200 Yards and in.

Decided not to carry the behmoth into the woods as
(1) Its kinda woody in there so I won't be taking long shots
(2) its phat

Pulling out an old Marlin 30-30. Hunting in Thick Woodlands with some open area but mostly, DENSE AF woods. So 50-100 yards shots (along a creek), maybe 200. Visibility is usually 50 yards or less.

Open sights are cool: when you are young: I'm not. Looking for a good scope under $1k doesn't have to be a 1-X but maybe like a 3-8 or similar. Maybe 2-8 or 2-10. I really have no clue in this range as I'm used to Long Distance optics.

4DOF’s good but Frank is better

I was at a Frank and Marc class in Imperial, NE this weekend walking my 223 out to distance.

@Lowlight
@Enough Said

My dope was funky at 655 and I couldn’t spot my miss so I asked Frank for dope for my 223 at 655.

Frank said “5 mils”

I dialed on 5.0 and sent it. Impact. Waterline. I had to true the MV to get 4DOF to match.

4DOF is good but Frank is better. Haha

Great class. Dynamic wind. Lots of terrain. Fun shooters. Big steaks. Cold beer. I’ll be back.
