I took this on a trade, low round count in excellent condition.
$700

This was just posted by Spuhr. I understand the product is about "ready" to ship, as in not just a marketing trick and then wait another 2-3 years before you can actually buy it.

I hope to get a sample very soon for a Remington 700 to try it out.

What do you think about the potential?

SPUHR IDEAL CHASSIS SYSTEM™ (SICS™) Löddeköpinge, Sweden (September 6, 2021) – Spuhr i Dalby AB (Spuhr®) is introducing the Spuhr Ideal Chassis System™ (SICS™) to the North American market. Mr. Ulf Nilsson, CEO, says, “This is a project we’re extremely proud of. The Spuhr Ideal Chassis system, or ‘6’ for short, has been the company’s main focus for the past 18 months. The SICS™ was designed around the concepts of modularity, stability, innovation, and quality.” Integrating the Spuhr Interface™ into a chassis system allows the user to position accessories originally designed for the Spuhr Ideal Scope Mount System™ (ISMS™) at various positions on the rifle system, combined with an exchangeable handguard and bag rider, provides unsurpassed modularity. Machined from aircraft aluminum, with the sole synthetic parts being the rubberized pistol grip, cheek piece, and a Limbsaver® Airtech® recoil pad, the SICS™ offers an extremely rigid shooting platform. An innovative, and patented, quick-adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) allows the user to instantly adjust the LOP when shifting from one shooting position to another. The SICS™ also features LOP Presets so that the user can tailor his maximum and minimum Length of Pull. Integrated into the standard 16-inch forend is an Arca Swiss® rail for use with bipods and tripods, but even this part of the chassis still accepts Spuhr Interface™ accessories. As always, quality has been a priority, where the SICS™ does not feature any sharp edges while featuring the same high quality black anodizing known from the Spuhr Hunting Series mounts and rings (other colors will be available.) The first versions released will be for the Remington 700 and Tikka T3/T3x short action footprints, for use with AICS magazines. Pre-orders for the North American market will be accepted starting September 27th.

I'll admit that I probably have more time and ammo on my hands than most people. However, these days, I don't think that's such a bad thing. But, after shooting all my life, I took notice of something that has much more effect on long-range shooting than I gave it credit for. To begin with, I sometimes spend an inordinate amount of time at trying to do things with a gun that most people would call a total waste of time. But, I think that this is how you learn things.

Last week, I was running some ammo through my .22 long rifle gun, and learned that I really could hit a 20"plate at 500 yards with my setup. But, even under zero wind conditions, it was incredibly hard to do compared to 300 and even 400 yards. What was most obvious, was my groups (if you can call them that) looked tall and skinny like this:

The above is six hits out of ten shots. (The mark close to the 6-o'clock position is two hits.)

Now, at 300 yards on a 12 inch plate, I can keep them all on the plate and grouped pretty close to the middle between 1 and 2 MOA. At 400 yds on a 16" plate, it gets worse. But, at 500 on the 20" plate, it usually doesn't get any better than what you see here. But, then it occurred to me: that bullet at that distance is coming down at such a down angle, maybe close to 60 degrees. If true, the intersection of the bullet and the plate probably looks more like this:


This would explain a lot when it comes to the compounded difficulty of hitting targets at extremely long ranges. According to this scenario, I'm trying to hit 40 percent less target area than what actually appears in my scope. Here are my shooting parameters:

.22 Long Rifle
Bullet Weight: 40 grain
Muzzle Velocity: 1200 fps
BC: 138
Distance: 500 yards
Zero distance: 50 yards
Holdover: 26 mills with scope mounted on a 20 MOA rail

I invite any comments on this from others who aren't as ballistically challenged as I am. This is obviously food for thought.

Give me your best tips/advice on cutting foam. I just attempted cutting foam for a pistol and mag case, and it’s looks like ass…
Also, aren’t there some guys that cut foam for cases and sell replacement foam??

Apparently the company i work for wants to take the entire sales team to ST maarten in Nov. There are supposed to be only limited meetings so I will have a lot of free time on my hands. I would like to fish. do they rent poles, daily, etc... Can you you bring and carry a normal pocket knife for EDC. is the french side better than the dutch? I am looking for intel and not the standard crap you get on the google
thanks in advance

Revealed: Biden's ethics exceptions​

Lachlan MarkayAug 29, 2021 - Politics & Policy
Top Biden officials have been excused from the ethics rules President Biden boasts about so they can do work involving large Wall Street banks, a leading defense contractor and prominent national media outlets, records show.

Driving the news: At least 16 Senate-confirmed officials have received waivers to ethics laws and regulations, according to an Axios review of their federal ethics paperwork.

• Three were excused from portions of a widely publicized ethics pledge imposed by executive order on the day the president took office.
• Thirteen got waivers to a federal regulation restricting work that could be perceived as a conflict of interest based on past professional relationships.

The details: NASA Administrator Bill Nelson was excused from rules that would have barred him from working with Lockheed Martin, for which he was a paid advisory board member.

• Nelson assured ethics officials prior to his confirmation that he would only be participating in policy matters potentially affecting Lockheed, not any procurement or contracting decisions involving the company.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's waiverdoesn't concern work with any specific company but permits her to oversee policy affecting large financial institutions — some of which paid her hefty speaking fees.

• The language of Biden's ethics pledge excludes past paid speeches and media appearances from the kind of financial arrangements that would restrict appointees' work. Yellen sought the waiver, she told ethics officials, "out of an abundance of caution."
• She also told officials she would seek additional written authorization for work specifically affecting companies that paid her speaking fees.

The big picture: The waivers show how some officials are balancing previous professional work with their current policy portfolios. Many cover past public sector gigs, as well.

• Six of the waivers permit officials‚ including Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra of California and EPA Administrator Michael Regan of North Carolina — to work with the state governments where they previously held senior posts.
• Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack still draws payments directly from the agency he leads via a program that compensates landowners who agree not to farm environmentally sensitive land. The Iowan's waiver allows him to oversee that program.
• CIA Ddrector William Burns is free to interact with the United Nations, where his wife works. Deputy secretary of Energy David Turk is allowed to work with the International Energy Agency, his former employer.
• Four senior Biden officials got waivers allowing them to communicate with media outlets that paid or employed them or their spouses: Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and senior State Department officials Wendy Sherman and Victoria Nuland.

Be smart: Most of the Biden administration ethics waivers are qualitatively distinct from those granted to top Trump officials, many of whom were permitted to work with companies and industries for which they'd just been lobbying.

• Biden officials also have been largely forthcoming about the ethics carveouts they've sought.
• Most of the waivers — including Yellen'sand Nelson's — were flagged in pre-confirmation ethics paperwork.
• Senators charged with reviewing and confirming the nominations were aware the officials would be seeking them.

What they're saying: "President Biden put in place the most stringent ethical standards of any administration in history," White House spokesperson Michael Gwin told Axios in an emailed statement.

• "[H]e’s proud to have filled the senior ranks of his team with individuals who exceed those high standards and bring a wide range of experience — particularly in the public interest — that equip them to deliver for the American people.”

my 3-18 rests in a Midwest Mount, I went this way because of what I read about vertical split rings. I had it in a ADM Mount briefly about two years ago. The MI sits lower than the ADM I had so it wouldn’t clear my BUIS (ARMS #40L-SP) so I put a YHM riser under the MI Mount. I had to rezero and this is where my problems started. my elevation changed but so did my windage, I could barely get on paper but I had about one revolution of wind age left. The impacts would wander, I checked everything and all was tight. I used a FAT wrench on the mount at 17 inch pounds and the bolts weren’t loose neither was the Mount.


So today I took off the sights and the riser expecting every thing to return to normal. I had to dial down 2 revolutions to get on paper and my impacts were still left edge of a B27 style target at 25 yards. I dialed left 1/4 of revolution and I fired a shot. My impact moved up to the top of the paper While remaining on the right edge. So I have a scope problem, it’s a good thing I reached out to Vortex last week and I have a return label. I never dropped this scope nor have has it taken a ding or impact. I find it hard to believe just putting a riser under it would cause this to happen. Anyone else hear of a problem similar to this with a razor?

Wifey came home today and said A LOT of the covid patients at her hospital are being treated with the anti-viral drug Remdesivir.

This is literally the first time I have heard of it and a little reading shows its a "newly" approved drug for covid-19 treatment.


Since we are all basically doctors (or at least what some of us say)........what say ye. Any better research out there?

*This is not medical advice, nor should it be interpreted as such. This is a discussion about some drugs I just heard about*

I've used the .mil ATAK before and I know its evolved since then. An ECOTI wasn't a thing yet and I'm betting the capabilities and compatible equipment list within the system has grown as well. A civ version of ATAK (probably to data mine you and/or keep track of people who think you can use this during some kind of insurgency fantasy) has been available for a while now. However, their site as well as the subreddits dedicated to it give you next to zero actual information as far as what works and what doesnt and outside of people needing troubleshooting or nerds nerding out over some sort of specs or whatever, thats about it.

If you're not familiar with ATAK, its basically a newer version of what the DAGR used to be, and can now be run on a cell phone. It allows you to mark waypoints in real time on the phone using a terrain overlay (think interactive google maps) that everyone else on your network can see and also interact with. You can enter info on the targets and waypoints as well as they can be made via other equipment like the PLRF25. A basic example of this would be that you see 3 guys with weapons walking across a hillside. You hit them with the PLRF25 and it'll update into ATAK that there is something there; youd then label it '3 armed personnel, unknown, heading 246 at 1723. Everyone on that net now sees that waypoint on their unit as well as the info.

The other cool thing is anyone linked to the network shows up on ATAK so you know where all of your elements currently are. Even if you are out of cellular range, the GoTenna it works with will continue to receive/transmit via (I think) satellite and will continue to receive and broadcast.

Some of the equipment that works with it are rangefiders, the MBITR radio where the phone will work as a KDU and allow you to manipulate your radio without having to take it out of its pouch and the ECOTI, which from my understanding, if attached, will then give you a real time HUD of the waypoints and where your elements are. It's basically like a fucking round of Battlefield 4 with a HUD and waypoints you see as you move your head towards them.


Basic equipment list for the 'system' would be:

- Galaxy S20 phone 'tactical' version (which they wont sell you because it has the .mil ATAK version on it but you can get the regular S20)

- ATAK software app (civ version available)

- GoTenna Pro (available)

- MBITR (can't get this, however there are civ versions now that are broadband, 15w, near indestructible, and work with all Harris/Thales PTT, Harris batteries and even now work with the old school KDU module)

- ECOTI (available after we were all told it never would be)


The ideal setup would be to have the civ ATAK on the phone. Have the GoTenna linked to the phone. Then via cable have the phone linked to both the ECOTI and the MBITR which in itself I am not sure if its possible as I do not believe the phone has 2 ports, but could be wrong.

The main question here is - do any of you have experience using the civ version, and what is it capable of, and what are its shortcomings/where is it bottlenecked?

And then a few other random questions:

- How does the ECOTI attach to I am assuming the phone? Cable?

- Can you attach the MBITR and ECOTI simultaneously?

- Does the phone still/capable of working as a KDU?

Circumstances dictate I move my favorite optic so my fiancé and I have a safe buffer to close on our first house. ZCO 5-27 with the MPCT 2 reticle. Glass and scope are in flawless condition and has been well taken care of. Comes with the spuhr 6002 mount and Aadland caps and throw lever. No sunshade. Holding on to it for the time being. Looking for 3500 with an insured ride to the destination. The AI is not for sale neither are the other accessories.

I took this in trade and decided I am not going to proceed with my build. It has very low rounds on it from the previous owner.

Hi all,

I just sold the Vortex Razor 4.5-27 that lived on my AIAT and am looking to upgrade optics.
I’m mainly debating between the following 4 options:

NF ATACR 4-20
NF ATACR 5-25
ZCO 4-20
ZCO 5-27

The max range I’d use this at is 1200-1300m for target shooting, but typically sub-700m. I’ll also do some hunting with it and want to compete in PRS and NRL matches, but those aren’t as high of priorities. I really like the decreased weight of the ZC420 but not sure if the weight savings are worth giving up 7x extra magnification for the ranges I’m looking at shooting to. I also do intend on getting either a CNVD or clip on thermal unit in the near future, if that makes a difference.

Dropped a pic of the rifle as it was set up for some eye candy below.
Appreciate all the help!

What is the groups opinion of the new for 2021 GAP PPR. I started to order one last week but the order line was blocked to only left handed versions. Defiance does not list a Gladius action on their website? Thanks

I am not sure this is the best place for this and I already did some searching. I am looking for recommendations on the best trail cams for night vision pictures. Looking at some of the browning ones now. Wanting clear night pictures.

I have been using new Winchester brand .308 brass for a long time, but my supply was running out, so I sent it off to have it resized, trimmed, and cleaned. After receiving the brass, I checked to see if would chamber and extract in my Rem 700 and it was fine. Today was my first loading session with the resized brass. After loading the first case, it shaved some jacket material from the bullet, a 175g SMK. After that I ran the brass through a Sinclair expander mandrel, and used my RCBS case prep center to chamfer the inside and outside of the cases. My recollection is that the mandrel expands the case mouths by .002". It appears that there is still some scraping of the jackets, but not as bad as initially.

Should I:

• Be concerned that this will affect accuracy?
• Try shooting it before worrying about it?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

So I went shooting with my stepson yesterday and I pulled out a 6.5 creedmoor AR with 18" barrel I built awhile back and just for fun I decided to try a shot at 1000 cold bore. I looked over at him and asked what dope he thought I should use and he thought a few seconds and said try 10.8. Was a miss low and he said try 11.1. So I hold 11 on this IPSC at 1000 with a 1-8x VCOG and get a hit. I was kind of stunned. We haven't been shooting 6.5 at all, and never out of an 18" barrel.

Asked him how he did it and he said he remembers a couple of numbers for a caliber, and then just adjusts for barrel length and I guess an estimated velocity as well, all in his head.

Maybe not impressive to some, but I can't remember what I held at a certain distance 5 minutes ago, much less figure that shit out in my head on the fly.

Have a Savage 12 FV in .223 that I am looking to put inexpensive gridded reticle on. Planning on taking out to 700-800 yards. Specs are

Variable FFP
Around 4-6x on low end and 18-24x on high end
Prefer Milliradian
Parallax adjustment
Not concerned about reliability of turrets. Planning on holds for everything.
No particular gridded reticle in mind. Have used GAP G3 and H59. Liked both.

Midway USA has an Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x with APMR FFP IR MIL reticle for $270. Pretty much fits the bill but seeing what other recommendations the community might have.

This shit is getting good.....

I'm looking for some flashlight suggestions.
General use, nightstand, hunting pack, vehicle, in the yard with the dog (I live in the country).
I'm thinking 8" or less, CR123 and or rechargeable.
Multiple illumination levels so it can be daylight bright or dim enough to read a map.
Thank you,
DW

When we've had (in the past) a choice between LIEberals, NDP (Need Dumber Politicians), Conservatives, Partie Queerbeqoise (some unintelligible crap spoken through noses), or the Green Party (4:20 dude, and ban all humans)..... one has a choice to make.

Except now, where the much-supported (previously) Conservatives have now turned into "LIEberal-Lite".... but no worries, we also have ANOTHER new party to vote for:

The People's Party of Canada. (tell me that don't sound communistic?)

Except the People's Party (purple is their colour) is the ONLY ONE to actually support the Law Abiding Citizens as well as want to rescind previously made gun-grabbing laws.

How many times here have I expounded about 'more than 2 party systems' are bad??????

This is why.

Half of the former conservatives are going to vote for the Purple Party. The other half are going to be 'steadfast conservatives' because.... well, that's just what they do.
And when ALL of the LIEberal supporters are still going to vote for the Lying party.... well, they're still going to get it. but each of the other parties are going to receive small portions of the remainder.

God, do I ever want to be wrong about this. But our country is going to hell, and this is NOT the county that my ancestors made/build/created.

Thoughts?

Options?
