Rifle Scopes ATACR Replacement?

I currently have a 4-16X42 ATACR with the MIL-R reticle on my LMT MWS in .308.
Overall, I am happy with it. The size and mag range are about perfect for the gun and my purposes.
I want to move to a tree type reticle. I have started shooting with clip on NV and thermal and a tree has to be better than trying to dial elevation in the dark. Additionally, my eyesight is starting to suck and dialing in the daytime is more work than it used to be.
I was thinking of picking up another ATACR with a more suitable reticle.
Thought I should get some opinions on other options to look at with a similar size and mag in the sub-$3000 range.
What else should I be looking at?

Kimchee?

What's with all the ads all of a sudden for Kimchee? And a 'special' on Kimchee on the science channel?

Seems that the SK Government is trying to push Korean food into our palettes? To compete with all the other good Asian stuff? I mean... last year it was India and pushing Curry... which is also awesome!

Which is actually awesome, because I love Kimchee and all foods South Korean. North Korean, not so much. I never developed a taste for crickets, ants and grass. But South Korean food... ranging from BBQ to really hot Kimchee is among my favorites.

Just seems interesting that this is suddenly a thing! But bring it on! I'd love to be able to buy good kimchee at my local grocery store. Anyone else here a Korean food fan?

Sirhr

PS. Developed a taste for it when a buddy came back from a tour in Korea. We were rooming together in NC and he was constantly making kimchee and stuff. Even burying it in the yard to Ferment. Stupid good!!!

Nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Its only the middle of November and already 5 feet of snow in upstate New York. Fuck that Ill send a post card from Columbia.

Lyman Alaskan?

The other day I won an auction for Lyman Alaskan. It looked pretty rough in the pictures so I got it cheap.

When it got here the blueing was pretty freckled with rust. I started carefully cleaning it and found that instead of the serial number being 84592, it is B4592.

I remembered reading that the B Series Alaskans were military, but I don't find any markings to indicate that it is.

My question is; What is the REAL story on the B Series Alaskans?

Reputable Names for innovative BCG's, Firing pins, Buffer Springs, and Gas Systems (2022-2023)

I made this thread in 2019 and now as we’re nearing the end of 2022, I wanted to ask it again to see if things have changed.

Link to previous thread: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...-pins-buffer-springs-and-gas-systems.6967422/

I was wondering if you guys could list off your top 3 manufacturers for each of the following four areas so that I can expand my parts list beyond just JP:

  • 1.) Bolt Carrier Groups
  • 2.) Firing Pins
  • 3.) Buffer Springs
  • 4.) Gas Systems
I'm looking for innovative parts, maybe it's made a certain way or coated in a certain coating that you feel makes their offerings superior to much of the rest of the market.

My priorities are:

  • Reliability,
  • Durability,
  • Weight,
  • Innovation,
  • Value
(In that order)

What is your gun collection journey? How did you start?

This past month, I've just decided to start/build my gun collection, I bought:

  • 6 9mm handguns,
  • 2 9mm PDW's,
  • 2 12-gauge shotguns,
  • 3 AR-15 builder kits and and two AR-15 lowers,
  • 2 AR-10 complete lowers and an AR-10 lower receiver,
  • 3 Bolt-action Receivers (2 308, 1 223/556)
  • 1 22LR Rifle

I feel content with my collection and will be building/finishing these guns over the next 3 years with parts and accessories, I think I have most areas of firearms covered.

Question: What was your gun collection progression, what did you start with, what do you now have, and what do you still have left to get? Did you build your collection all at once or did you do it over time?

I think the only thing I want left is a 22 LR barrelled action to build a trainer rifle with and 1 10mm handgun, preferably a 1911 since I don't have one.

Special counsel appointed to investigate Trump x 2

Attorney General Merrick Garland has named Friday a special counsel to investigate the entirety of the criminal probe into the unlawful retention of national defense information at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, Fox News has learned
Smith will also oversee the investigation into key aspects of the Jan. 6 investigation, a senior Justice Department official also told Fox News.
It’s bad men. How many still believe in voting this away and how many of you are still willing to back the blue at any level. Do not think for a second that your local gov’t that works with your state gov’t that works with the federal gov’t aren’t all in lockstep. They are.

SOLD FN M249S Para w/ accessories $8900 shipped

Hi guys,

Have an FN M249S Para for sale today.

Has had about 300 rounds run through it, this is the newest manufacture run (2022) with the updated Slide Hammer.

Kind of bought on a whim, thought I'd shoot it more than I do but it's kinda just sat in the safe most of the year.

No issues, in great condition, this one does have the heavier trigger pull (14lb) vs the 1st gen ones (4-5lbs if I remember correctly). This makes it exactly the same as an F/A M249, but obviously for a semi auto it's a pain - though you're not gonna be shooting this thing for groups.

Comes with:

- M249S Para w/ box, manuals, etc
- Savit collapsible M4 stype stock assembly (a little salty from previous .mil use but perfectly operational)
- M249 Rail System - this isn't the KAC rail, this is the newer blockier style one made by P&S I think for the DoD
- 1 x woodland 100 round soft nutsack
- 1 x 200 round black box
- 1000 x new M27 links

Trades I’m currently interested in (+ or - cash either way)

Desert Tech HTI in .50BMG
AI AX50 older or newer style
Barrett MRAD in 338LM
NF ATACR 7-35 Mil-XT or Mil-C
S&B 5-25 PMII in Mils
Tangent Theta 5-25 in Mils


Price is $8900 shipped to your FFL from mine.


I accept Paypal (F&F, of if using G&S add the 3% with no mention of firearms whatsoever), Venmo (same rules apply), and since this is such a large amount, I'd also accept Personal Checks or Major Bank Drafted Money Orders / Cashiers checks from members have established feedback - though the check will absolutely clear before I ship.

Please IM or email with any questions.

Thanks

The “un-winnable war”


Not surprised by this story at all but reinforces my confirmation bias that this agency should be added to the list of other alphabets needing to be defunded.

“The disgraced former narcotics agent met with The Associated Press for a series of interviews before he headed to prison this week, revealing that he wasn't going down for this alone, accusing some long-trusted DEA colleagues of joining him in skimming millions of dollars from drug money laundering stings to fund a decade's worth of luxury overseas travel, fine dining, top seats at sporting events and frat house-style debauchery.

According to Irizarry, dozens of other federal agents, prosecutors, informants, and in some cases cartel smugglers themselves were all in on the three-continent joyride known as 'Team America' that chose cities for money laundering pick-ups mostly for party purposes or to coincide with Real Madrid soccer or Rafael Nadal tennis matches.

They partied in VIP rooms of Caribbean strip joints, Amsterdam's red-light district, and aboard a Colombianp yacht that launched with plenty of booze and more than a dozen prostitutes.

'We had free access to do whatever we wanted,' Irizarry said. 'We would generate money pick-ups in places we wanted to go. And once we got there it was about drinking and girls.'

All this revelry was rooted, Irizarry said, in a crushing realization among DEA agents around the world that there's nothing they can do to make a dent in the drug war anyway.

Only nominal concern was given to actually building cases or stemming a record flow of illegal cocaine and opioids into the United States that has driven more than 100,000 drug overdose deaths a year.

'You can't win an unwinnable war,' he said. 'The drug war is a game. ... It was a very fun game that we were playing.'

NF NSX vs SHV

I’m picking up a 270 wsm and needing a scope for it. This will be dedicated hunting rig out to 300-400yds max. I own a few NSXs which I have on Semi auto rifles and love the brand, glass, durability etc. Im trying not to go too overkill with the scope (rifle is a 8400 Kimber). After looking through NF for many years would like to stick with them.

Functionally, glass, weight are important. Im looking at the 3-10x42 SHV line as opposed to 2.5-10x42 NSX. Im curious if anybody has w Experience with these models and comparison. Will be hunting mostly in shooting boxes with open areas and wood lines.

I think the 10 should be enough magnification? Trying to avoid pulling the NSX 3.5-15 off the LMT.

Thanks for input
