TerrapinX - Lightly Used - $1,100 - Purchased in late 2018 and not used until 2020 due to life stuff. Great tool and fully functional. Used less than a handful of times, but just not the right tool for me. Full kit as you see in pictures. Venmo $1,100 and I'll ship it insured to you. Only looking to sell; zero trades.

Stephen Hunter's latest. Another chapter in the life of Earl Swagger.

I thought it was well done, and tells a new part of the story. Fits somewhere between the events of G-man and Hot Springs.

His writing appeals to me because he rarely makes a firearms mistake. Also, I really like how he vaguely refers to real people, like he did with the "helpers" in Pale Horse Coming, although he does that in lots of his books.

User Medicfrost is asking me for pics of a scope I have for sale with a picture of his username and date written on a paper so he can save the picture and post it somewhere else to scam someone. Watch out.

I am not normally into his videos but this is pretty awesome. Tank rounds vs Ballistic Dummy

I'm new to LPVOs and decided to get a premium one for my first. I have a Razor Gen III 1-10X LPVO mounted on a Badger C1 1.7". I'm on the shorter side so my AR has a 11.5-12" LOP. I can just barely squeeze two fingers between the stock and my arm if I make a L shape with my arm while holding up my rifle to guess my LOP. Any further out and the rifle gets too unwieldy to hold up.

With that LOP I simply cannot get any sight picture even at 1x while prone. I'm just way too close when prone. I have the scope all the way forward in the rings and the mount itself is as far it can go. It's a little far away when I'm standing upright, but workable.

The obvious solution is to extend the stock while prone. However, Ideally I'd have a rifle that I can shoot standing and prone without adjusting the stock as this is meant to be my self defense rifle. I have a few questions:

1. Would I be able to get a better sight picture up close with another LPVO?
   1. I was originally weighing in between the Razor and ATACR, but thought I could save $800 on something that seemed up to par.
2. Did I basically discover LPVOs don't work with my body profile?
3. Is there something else I could try to make this setup work?

Here is what it looks like mounted, for any interested:

Im not really into holidays but since no one else has put it up, here it is.

Praise Jesus, Lord of all.

Let his example be your guide.

Been buying guns for 10 years or so but I really turned up the hobby a good bit 4-5 years ago when I bought some land I could shoot on.

Started building ARs, reloading, then got into the less mainstream cartridges like most of us do. 6BR, BRA, 22BR, grendel varieties, etc.

Did a big inventory reduction last year to take me down to 223, 308, 243, 6.5CM, 22CM, 38, 357, 9mm, 45, 22lr, and 17hmr. Reloading for all the centerfires.

Still it just feels like too much.

Part of me things I'd be happy if I could start over with a 10.5, and 18" AR in 223, my 223 and 6.5 bolt guns, a couple Glocks and my rimfires.

Honestly I think the threat of TEOTWAWKI bartering abilities is the only thing holding me back at this point. Oh and dedicated silencers that'd be left homeless.

Curious to hear the hindsight perspective of those who've thinned the heard. Are you happier with less? Anything you miss or regret?

As expected, the clearly unconstitutional HB 2005, with the -11 amendment passed out of the Ways and Means Committee today on a party line vote. (Even the lawyer who wrote the bill told the committee that it’s likely much of the bill is unconstitutional.)
The bill will NOT be considered by a senate committee, something that was pointed out by Republicans on Ways and Means. So the Senate will not get to consider the policies in the bill, though they still will be voting on it.
This bill bans young adults from possessing modern firearms and prohibits licensed concealed carry in as-of-yet undefined areas across the state.
The bill will also effectively turn all AR-15 rifles into contraband. There are no exceptions for previously owned rifles or law enforcement.
This is because of the new definition of “receiver” that was crafted by the drafter of the bill. And here it is:
Receiver” means the part of a rifle, shotgun or projectile weapon other than a handgun, or a variant of a rifle, shotgun or projectile weapon other than a handgun, that provides housing or a structure for the primary component designed to block or seal the breech prior to initiation of the firing sequence, even if pins or other attachments are required to connect the component to the housing or structure.
While this is an attempt to copy the more recent federal definition, it does not recognize any exceptions. And obviously, this is NOT a description of an AR-15 lower, which has always been the regulated part.
Under this definition, previously unregulated uppers will be required to have serial numbers. It’s not clear how the many thousands of these rifles currently in the possession of Oregonians can comply.
Given that many distributors have stopped shipping magazines to Oregon because of their fears of Mz 114, it’s hard to imagine that any will continue to ship AR’s or AR uppers to Oregon once this becomes law.
This issue was briefly mentioned in the committee by House Rep Rick Lewis and was promptly ignored.
We do NOT recommend you watch this hearing when the video recording is uploaded. You will lose what little faith you have in humanity. But we can point out some low lights.
Anti-gun activist Sara Gelser noted how happy she was when “they” (meaning her daughter) was unarmed while being robbed at gun point. (Not a misprint.)
She also noted that people under 21 who were involved in mass shootings are not mentally ill, just not properly developed. And therefore they lack the maturity to own modern firearms. Senator Findley pointed out the apparent incongruity for Gelser’s strong support for children’s rights to have sex changes without their parent’s consent. For that decision, apparently, 15 year olds are well equipped.
Senator Lew Fredrick emotionally decried that deaths of so many of the kids in his inner city district and the funerals he had to attend, somehow neglecting to mention that the kids who were being killed in his district were being killed by kids in his district. A peculiar oversight.
More disturbing, but not surprising, was his comments about not wanting to hear about the “constitution,” that pesky document he took an oath to uphold.
The implications of this bill are staggering. It’s unknown how it will be enforced or how gun owners and dealers will deal with the new regulations which clearly the people who wrote the bill do not understand.
What is clear is this. If the Republicans are on the floor when this bill is voted on in either house, they will have effectively voted “yes” simply by being there and all the comments and remonstrances against the bill will be pointless fluff.
Thousands and thousands of Oregonians are going to lose basic rights under this insanity. The Republicans can stop it.
Remind them of that fact.
Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp
House Republican Leader Vikki Breese Iverson
Also moving forward SB 348 It includes Hi cap mag bans retroactively. Illegal and unconstitutional. Ex Post Facto
What is clear is, is that along with all the other elements of these bills, anyone with any firearm’s magazine will be subject to arrest after it becomes law. And despite the incorrect information given today by the committee counsel, under SB 348, if you are charged with possession of a magazine, you have no right to the presumption of innocence. The “affirmative defense” mentioned in the bill means it will be up to you to prove you’re not guilty. And by the way, that’s impossible. No photograph or receipt means a damn thing for devices that all look alike and have no serial numbers.

Hello all,
This is a catch and release for me, Autotricker v2 with spare belts, pics attached, please let me know if I can take other photos to help answer any questions you may have.
Pp f&f or personal check.
Thanks

Is this common? I only have a couple hundred rounds thru it. Is it easy to change?. I'm going to call Joel on Monday.

Extraction issue. Need advice.

New custom barrel from renowned maker. Chambered in 6mm Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist. Only 120 rounds through the barrel, break in and load development. Reloder 16, CCIBR4, Peterson SRP brass new and the 108 ELDM. Developed a load with avg velocities 2955 fps with no pressure signs. Then all of a sudden, very stiff bolt lifts, brass and primer show no signs of pressure. Load has not changed and environmental temperatures aren’t at extreme opposites (fairly consistent). I tested lighter loads and they still produce stiff bolt lifts. I tested the load in another 6 Creedmoor I have and no issues. Barrel is mounted on a Rem 700 Stainless steel action, brand new.

Additional info: I’ve kept data on fired brass measurements and nothing has changed. Load development has always been performed within recommended powder charges, I’ve never loaded hot and been reloading since 2009. Competed in PRS and Sniper competitions with my handloads. Never had an issue. I’ve inspected the bolt to the best of my capabilities and the chamber using a bore scope and nothing odd was seen.

Worst part, is that the stiffness of the bolt lift is now at a point where I have to slam the bolt handle to get it to go up. I’ve stopped shooting

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thx

Have a Les Baer in hard chrome, last 10 years been my pride and joy. Right wrist has some issues so wanted an ambi safety installed. Ordered from Baer, had them hard chrome it so everything matches. Dropped off at shop last week. Says $75-100 depending on work. Yesterday pick it up, can’t get it to engage and disengage without major effort. Says it need break in!! Told him no, too damned tight, says leave it. An hour later says come get it, seems a little better, ok. Get home and start manipulating safety, its good a few times, them just not. Look at frame and notice scratches appearing, below bottom of the left side safety. Stop, break it down to find this damned mess! Like someone took a Dremel to frame, also in front of plunger for safety, again all galled up, what tools did they use?
Was going to try and polish out with red rouge, friend says don’t touch it, bring it back, frame needs to be refinished. I know there’s gonna be a fight. He’ll try to blame me, not looking forward to it, but not gonna let him walk away either.
How to handle, because right now I’m livid. Thanks for letting me rant

UPDATE
Rather than keep bumping this to the top of the forum, I’ll just edit this post up top in bold.

Burris' repair process was about as hassle-free as it can get. Although I'm very please with Burris' response & how fast they turned the scope around, I'd rather not need any customer service in the first place. I'm probably just an outlier failure case, but this XTR3 will now be mounted on a Bergara B-14R & used for practice.

_____________________________________
4/11/23 Burris sent an RMA # and prepaid label within 24 hours of my filing a claim.
4/20/23 Burris received scope.
5/8/23 Burris repaired optic, free of charge & no questions asked. Repair notes to be mailed with scope. Shipped.

5/11/23 Repaired optic delivered with repair notes:

• Damaged elevation turret replaced. No explanation regarding the damage.
• Parallax & windage functioned properly.
• Suggest that the bottoming-out may have resulted from user error due to maxed out elevation (while mounted on a B-14R in my videos below). While I suppose this is possible & it does correlate to the direction of adjustment in the videos... I'm skeptical. 90MOA total internal adjustment range * 1/2 - 30MOA base = 15MOA remaining "Down" = ~3.75" @25yds. Since the POI were <2.5" high (~10MOA @ 25yds) prior to making any adjustment, this would require an adjustment shortfall of at least ~4MOA. In reality, the shortfall would have to be even greater than this 4MOA to account for drop, however minimal the drop of a .22LR is @ 25yds.
• Grinding noise due to "pin on the elevation turret was digging into the knob. This is caused by applying too much force onto the knob when setting the zero" - this doesn't sound like I over-tightened the Allen screws, so I don't have a clue what this means. I pushed downward too forcefully while resetting the zero stop? I may give Burris a call.

I've attached 3 more images from a quick tracking test. Point of Aim was the lower right target for all 6 groups. 5 rounds on each, shot from upper-right across to upper-left, then down to lower-left and back across to lower-right. Range @ muzzle was 50.5yds. B-14R isn't great with Eley Tenex, all 30 shots are @ 0.8" (1.6MOA).

END OF UPDATES (unless the scope breaks again)
_____________________________________

I fired sub-MOA groups @ >600 yards on Saturday, then drove around feeding cattle with the rifle in the passenger seat. I later missed two shots @ 250 yards on two different coyotes & knew something was off. I figured I just bumped the optic & lost zero, so I fired the 13 shots in the chart & recorded the results. I remounted the scope after shot #7.

Does the attached shot progression look like the results from a damaged optic? Or could this be the result from an improperly torqued stock?

I have >700 rounds through this .308 Win M700 5R, ~650 being hand loads. This rifle is my ranch gun & sees more abuse than use. Despite that, has consistently shot ~0.3 to 0.4 MOA through multiple optic changes & removal/reinstall of the factory HSP stock (bedded in 2009 @ ~100 rounds). I also double checked the COAL/CBTO/shoulders on the remaining 50 rounds from this batch of reloads, they're to my specs.

FWIW this is a new scope from a good manufacturer with less than 200 rounds on it. I'm hesitant to mention the manufacturer/model at this point and throw them under the bus before I've even contacted them. It's my understanding they have good CS, but wanted to check in here first. In the meantime, I'm considering mounting it on a .22LR & running a tracking test. It was probably going to end up that .22LR anyways...
