Can/will 223 cycle in a long action?

So I've been dreaming of a 300 Norma or 300 PRC. I have put together a 243 with a Criterion remage barrel and it shoots fantastic. Looking to do a higher end build next, probably over the next 2 years. I have access to shoot a mile or more and there are places that go further. Shooting at KO2M would be pretty sweet, just to get to try it out. Problem is shooting it would be super expensive so really a few times a year? I am thinking swapping a bolt and spinning another barrel on and now I could shoot the hell out of it in 223 and maybe run some matches with it. Have the same stock/chassis, trigger, scope, bipod.... but shoot it for cheap and shoot it a lot. But will 223 feed in a long action? Does anybody make mags that look like a Bergara or Voodoo 2 mag that puts 223 in a long action?

Next up is a cheap US Peacekeeper drag bag, it's 54" long. The large exterior pocket has about a 6" long section at the top of the pocket where it's started to tear away from the main bag (see picture) I used to pack this thing full and tote it all over. It's a pretty rugged bag.

DMR SPR Optic

I am currently in the process of building a DMR/SPR rifle chambered in 6mm Arc. Current set up pictured below..
I am uncertain of what optic to go with. I am looking at either the ACTAR 4-16x42 Tremor 3 reticle and the Kahles 3-18x50 SKMR3 reticle with a SPUHR/ Badger condition one mount. I have ruled out the Leupold 3.6-18 because most people have told me it is not on the level of ACTAR and does not track as well.. I have read that Kahles are a bit more fragile and have a narrower FOV which concerns me, as this is the optics I am leaning towards. Obviously, ACTAR has the resume but it doesn't have the magnification of Kahles or Leupold. THoughts?

SOLD SPF Bushnell DMRII 25yd parallax $750 shipped

Title says it all, good condition DMRII 3.5-21X50 with the G2 and a 25 yard parallax. Just a little rash on the turrets from normal use, 100% mechanical / tracks perfect as all Bushnell Elite Tactical scopes. I have owned at least 7 DMRs over the years and they are the most bomb proof scopes I have owned. When I was shooting a lot I kept a DMR in rings zeroed for my rifle as a backup in case my PMII went down (which happened a few times). I am selling to move to a lighter scope on this RimX.
I can get you all the pics you want, but more will be added later today.
I would consider a trade for a Sightron SIII PLR illuminated 6-24 MIL, or maybe a Vortex LHT 4.5-22 MIL (with some cash on my end)
Sold pending funds $750 shipped without the rings

How to clean these spots off the bolt?

I try to be good about cleaning my Begara B-14 6.5CM after each day of shooting. I clean with Hopps mostly.

I've noticed that the bolt is getting these two spots and my normal cleaning routine isn't removing them. It did only have one spot for a bunch of months and now I'm seeing two...meaning whatever is happening is still happening and I'm not removing them.

What is it and how can I remove it?

Annealing made perfect meltdown

I bought this amp and amp mate. It was working great. Had it running over in the corner and this happened. Case some how came loose from shell holder. Burnt the case up worse then aztec analysis mode and basically destroyed the inner protective plastic.

This really sucks! Plastic melted down into the ceramic bowl.


Now that I think of it, I don't really know why plastic is anywhere near the heating source. I am hoping they take care of it. Preferably send replacement parts and ill do it myself. I just sent him an email tonight. What do you think?

Any C6 corvette fans here?

Hey all,

Do we have any c6 vette fans here?

I am currently shopping around for one and was wondering if anyone had any idea what the market is like for these Lil cars.

The one I liked the most is a jet stream blue 2008 Z51. Anybody have anything to say about these such as what you like or dislike on yours? The one I'm after will run me $30,000 already transferred to my name with only 76,000 miles and 3 owners. I think the asking price is high but idk. I just barely started looking into these a week ago so I'm barely feeling the marker out.
