Rifle Scopes Anyone still making a direct mount one-piece base for Rem 700 Long Actions?

About to get one of my long actions back from Hill Country Rifles (they’re very local to me); trued receiver and with a new 280AI barrel. Also had the base/rings mounting holes bumped up to #8-40. Just need a scope mount now….

Probably Medium height and 30mm Ring diameter for a Zeiss scope I already have on hand.

Had my eye on a mount from Night Force, but it appears they’re no longer making them; nothing on their direct mount page: https://www.nightforceusa.com/nightforce-accessories-direct-mounts.aspx

This is the only one I can find so far (at Brownell’s):

p_749012018_1.jpg



…but it’s a high mount. Not a show stopper, but not exactly what I’m looking for either. I also prefer the version with 6 bolts per cap; can’t find that anywhere. Not a big fan of buying used either.

I can obviously just mount a base and then mount a pic rail version, but really wanted to limit the number of interfaces on this build. Anywhere I should be looking? Not 100% committed to that NF, but want a solid, well-made one piece direct mount, and I know of that one.

Thanks in advance…. appreciate any pointers, or hell, just some help getting pointed in the right direction!

7-6.5 PRC

I think there was a group of us that was super stoked that the 7 PRC would be a adaptation of the 6.5 PRC, at least, I was.

Now that we know that it's not, we can start making one ourselves. I've talked to PVA and they have a reamer ready to go. Brass is easy to find and good quality. F-class guys are pushing 180 hybrids 2900-2925. I'd imagine that's using a long action though. Based on looks alone I don't think it'd be giving much if anything up to the 7 RSAUM or sherman's (SS & SST).

It seems that using a short action will always be compromising when looking at a magnum. I'm hoping this fits my needs until I build a dedicated ELR rig. I've been bouncing a lot of ideas around but I think this is where I'm landing.

What do you guys think?

Has anyone here been running one?

Nadler Congressional opponent, USAR Major, makes Pronhub videos for campaign.

Wow.



Mike Itkis, a third-party liberal candidate in New York's 12th District and current major in the US Army Reserve, is running to unseat Jerry Nadler in November, having achieved ballot access in September.

One of Itkis' key campaign issues is decriminalizing sex work, so to promote it, he participated in an adult film which he posted to the sex site PornHub on his own account.

The 53-year-old Itkis - whose bio describes himself as 'Not married. No kids. Not celibate. Atheist.' - stars with adult actress Nicole Sage in the X-rated clip, which features the pair having sex on camera twice over the course of the past year.

The video, which is about 13 minutes long opens with the performer Sage, clarifying that she consents to the scene and is 'not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.'


Campaign ad pix of the Major

Stolen valor experience…to save someone else under $100..

Whole lot of what the fuck


I’m on a trip with a co worker

We end up having to get hotel rooms, company pays for it

He remarks that mid to low 200 a night is way too much, even though this is a vacation destination type place, says we should get rooms at some roach inn, I’m like “homie don’t play that game”

He instantly asks if I have a hotel app, says all you need to do select the gov rate discount (for Mil FD PD) and if you check in on the app you won’t be asked for your gov ID….as he’s never worked for gov

This same person won’t work on a Sunday as he needs to go to church…I don’t think Jesus would stolen valor a fucking hotel room to save his company a few bucks a night 🤷‍♂️


He booked his shady way, I just used my hotel member status and booked a room like a normal honest person


Oddly enough I have found a high percentage of hard core church goers tend to be of iffy character

Yet another 223 load question...

Rifle is surgeon action 223 Wylde.
25" Bartlien bull barrel 1/7 twist
24.0gn Imr8208 powder
Lapua virgin brass
CCI 400 primers
Hornady 88 eld

At 24.00gn of powder I get a velocity of 2834f/s. But I'm seeing over pressure signs, in fact 1 blown primer. See attached pic. It may have been a damp round that blew the primer, but all the rest look like cratering as well.

Am I pushing this too much? It's a fantastic group .3" , SD=2.

My next lower node looks to be at 23.60gn haven't shot it yet to see pressure signs. I really wanna maximize this for PRS.

New Year, New Rules, maybe ...

As 2022 comes to a close, people should have started to look to 2023.

This is a golden opportunity to improve and correct some issues locally if you notice any or have had some negative feedback.

One area I see being discussed is Production Class or Factory Class and how to address these rifles. People want to open the door to enter and bring in new shooters, the problem is the PRS crowd that dictated a minimum entry price. Saying a Production rifle is one with a maximum price immediately closes the door to anything sold for less money. If they say, Production class is a $2500 rifle and $2500 scope, that means anyone with a practical streak will not show up unless their rifle meets these minimums.

If you want an entry class, consider a limited division with fewer rules. You want to look at what features a basic rifle provides vs what features a custom rifle does. You want the guys with the $800 Tikkas and $500 Arkens to show up right, so you want to speak to them.

I still believe wholeheartedly that factory ammo is the real deciding factor. My personal model of a limited division is any rifle under 19LBS with a max barrel length of 26" and factory ammo. That is really the most basic entry point. (I went 19LBS because some AIs are 18+ out of the box) and really, rifle weight should not include the scope if you are doing rifle weight unless you just say, as carried, which makes it easy to pop a complete rifle on a scale.

Overcomplicating rules is where things fall down. If you simplify them, you have less drama.

An open division with nothing but a weight limit (we should have a weight limit every other discipline does) and then Factory vs. Handload is your biggest offset of score next to the skill. Barrels have to be replaced, so if you say 26" is a factory max, you let people use the same rifle and continue down the same path.

Things to think about, the subcategories are easier too; you can have an open and limited and then, say, Lady and Junior inside those two, very straightforward.

A new year is a great time to make changes that can be looked at to help improve participation a bit.

Photos Hurricanes before and after the invention of global warming

Hurricane Camille, the second most powerful storm to hit the United States. Date 1969

Hurricane Ian, only the third named storm of 2022

The difference, Lots and lots more people living in and around the coastal areas.

Another truth, a hurricane hunter aircraft, flew into the eye of Camille just a few hours before she made landfall. They gave out a warning, GET OUT NOW, THIS IS ONE BAD BITCH. Until Camille, everyone thought a small hurricane was a weak hurricane.

Build high, stay dry, build on the coast, no hope

Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

I have been looking for one of these for a while and I just saw a variety of these guns on GB. It checks every box I have been looking for:
23.7 inch barrel
threaded barrel 1/8 twist
good trigger, and smooth bolt
Decent stock
built in rail to upper

I have a Rem 700 5r that I have loved for years. But wanted longer barrel in 1/8 vs its 1/9. It still shoots 77grain ammo great. It 10 years old and still running, but I wanted to play with a new toy.

If you have been looking for one of these, some are released now. Maybe old news but it was new to me.

New hunting scope for hunting/ target shooting.

I was lucky and found a Weatherby Mark V carbonmark on sale about half off and would like to put the best glass I can on it. Right now I’m looking at the Leupold Mark 5HD in 3.6-18, the Burris XTR iii in 3.3-18, and a few others that I know very little about. Zeiss, Swarovski, Nightforce. This rifle is chambered in 6.5 creedmore and will be my new primary rifle used mostly for deer and possibly elk. Any recommendations would be welcome.

It’s For Your Safety🙄

Katrina… NYC stop & frisk… Round up the usual suspects… It’s for your safety…

IIRC there was an incident a few years ago in Indiana(?) where the police put up a barricade, had everyone get out of their cars, handcuffed them and had them sit on the curb while their vehicles were searched for something that could identify one of them as a suspect in a shooting.

Now this.

Arrogant assholes is too polite a term to apply to these jackboots.
