17 hornet Scope

Hi Fellas,

Purchased a Savage varmiter in 17 hornet. I plan on shooting mostly ground squirrels and similar sized things mostly at 100-150 yards, with some stretching out 200-300 yards.

Is there a scope that jumps out to you with a budget of $600? I’d prefer to be in the $300-400 range, but can make 600 work.

Been looking at SFP scopes: 6-18x40 VX freedom, Mark 3 6-18x50, some vortex vipers and Burris’s.

Do you think 6 power is too high for minimal magnification? I like the higher mag because squirrels are so small, but don’t want to chase that and sacrifice quality.

Any suggestions would be great, I really appreciate it.

Jake

Reloading side hustle

Someone at work got wind that I reload and is asking if I’ll do some for him. It’s not a small amount though, it sounds like he has several gallon bags in a couple of cartridges.

Anyone do this for friends/acquaintances? Is this amount something you would charge for(I think this guy is kind of a douchebag so I’m definitely not doing it for free)? How do you determine pricing?

Mods, if this is verboten I’ll take my pee pee slap and be on my way

Thoughts on pricing used custom rifles?

I'm trying to get my head around pricing a used custom rifle. I've bought and sold plenty of guns before, but never a custom rifle. Part of me wonders if it's even worth going through the process of selling something custom as a whole, or if there's some way to part it out. I just don't know what the odds are that someone is going to want to buy a custom rifle exactly the way I did when I ordered it years ago when they could build their own just the way they want it today.

My other concern with selling a custom rifle is it'll likely be online so I'm going to have to find a local FFL to ship to someone elses FFL. I just sold a rifle last night that I had listed online, but the guy was close enough that we drove and met up.

My other concern is I don't want to put a dumb price on the gun. When I bought it 5 years ago it was XYZ dollars, and to buy it again today would be XYZ plus almost $1,500. When I put a price on something I do it to sell it, not just to list it. The round count on the gun is somewhere around 1,000 rounds and it's been used in competitions, but otherwise has been very well cared for. I just don't want to be the dumb guy asking $700 for a used glock, or likewise the guy who sells a glock with one box through it $200.

MDT Launch the New Control Bridge - ACC Elite.

MDT_ACCEliteControlBridge_01 (4).jpg

MDT Sporting Goods Ltd. Announces Their New Control Bridge - ACC Elite.

We're excited to announce the launch of our new MDT ACC Elite Control Bridge. This accessory acts as a mirage mitigation device and provides a barrel cover when reaching up and over your forend for added control.

The textured top face reduces the chance of your hand slipping and provides additional grip, while the six screws securely fasten the bridge to the forend for a very rigid interface. Optionally, they can be stacked for full forend enclosure or coupled with the NV Bridge (coming soon). It has clearance for large-diameter, straight taper match barrels. This product is only compatible with the MDT ACC Elite chassis systems.

The MDT ACC Elite Control Bridge is now available with a starting price of $119.95 USD and can be found at https://mdttac.com/control-bridge-acc-elite/

Pre-Fit or No Pre-Fit

I put a KRG Bravo stock and Triggertech trigger on a Remington 700 .223 that had that cheap plastic stock from the factory. It is a stainless action with a varmint weight barrel in 12 twist. The barrel is still shooting well enough but got to thinking about a new barrel to go with the new stock & trigger. How would a pre-fit work with the 700 action or should I go with the gunsmith route and the associated extra cost? This is not a competition gun just the casual paper puncher. I put a WOA barrel on my RPR last week which is another reason I got to thinking about the R700 upgrades. TIA

Tikka T3 scope

I just got a new Tikka T3X Lite stainless in .223 and had a couple questions.

I have a Bergara B14 HMR in .308 and in my old age was looking for something a little lighter in weight and less recoil.

I was going to add a Mountain Tactical bottom metal [will use the factory mags] and was wondering if that was a good choice [just to get rid of some plastic] and was looking at a Leupold VX-3HD CDS-ZL 3.5-10x40 duplex scope for it. Is that a good scope for general use at 100-200 yards? Not really looking for anything over 10X.

On my last Tikka T3 in .308 I used Talley one piece lightweight mounts, but that has been a few years ago, is that still a good choice for mounts?

Thanks

Hunting & Fishing Wyoming Range Deer Herd Gone

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Wyoming Range, it's home to one of the most well known trophy deer herds in the wetstern US. I saw this Headline on the Cowboy State Daily this morning. "

Wyoming Range Winterkill Far Worse Than Thought: 80% Of Adult Deer & Nearly All Fawns Dead​

Wyoming Range Winterkill

Fort Sill Oklahoma commander canned for hunting violation

This sounds much more like a purge of those in the military deemed undesirable to the current political climate, or for the first time the military for some reason is taking a incredible interest in the safety of most likely wild hogs, at a military base.

Grouping at 100 yd - then suddenly nowhere on paper?

I had previously brought my Form 1 SBR Kriss Vector to the range at 100 yd using my cut barrel at 7.5" length and it was averaging 5"-6" 5-shot groups at 100 yd. I had then sent it into Kriss for their 6.5" SBR conversion and today was the first time I was able to test it at the range. During initial zero/sight-in, it was shooting low and to the right. I adjusted my Holosun 510C (the same 510C I used the last time) and was getting it on paper. I got some nice 4" groups using the same ammo (CCI Blazer 115gr) and then started to notice my shots were no longer anywhere on paper.

I tried bigger targets, aiming at different corners and even dirt to see POI. I'd adjust to try and compensate, get a few shots on paper, and then the POI would disappear again.

I checked the Holosun 510C mount, checked the barrel for obstructions, etc.... and short of doing a disassembly during cleaning to inspect, I'm kind of out of ideas. I've never had this happen the last time and I put it through its paces with about 250+ rd the last time.

The good news is that it seems to run like a sewing machine, even with a suppressor (Silencer Central Banish 45) that I attached at the end just to try it out for a few dozen rounds. It's filthy and I was getting a lot of carbon/gas blowback but she was running just fine... except for not seeing the impacts. Even with the can on, I did not see any baffle strikes or end cap strikes. So the bullet is leaving the bore straight.
