SOLD Manners TCS, high gloss metallic GAP, mini chassis, steel ARCA rail

Sold 7/15

Up for sale is a Manners TCS for an R700 SA finished in high gloss metallic GAP camo with mini-chassis. Includes 1x butt weight, butt spacers, manners steel ARCA rail along with a full weight set for the ARCA rail. 4 flush cups (1x left front, 3x on rear – left, right, and bottom.) Also includes both standard hex key clamp hardware as well as 2x manners finger knobs for the cheek rest and butt pad KMW hardware.

Very good condition overall but a few marks in the bottom metal around the mag well from inserting and removing mags, a couple scuffs/marks on the bottom of the butt plate where it rests, and a few very light scuffs on the steel ARCA rail from bipod/tripod clamps and use on props and such which I tried to capture in the pics.

I had shortened the mag latch in the DBM to get AW mags to latch for my CDG action, but I just installed a brand new unmodified mag latch from Manners so it's good to go with standard AICS magazines in a standard R700 style action.

Asking $1350 shipped and insured. Payment via discreet Paypal F&F, Zelle, USPS MO, or check (will ship when payment clears.)

Your PVA prefit experience

Only Osprey barrels anymore? I'm looking for a Rock Creek, etc, .223 1:8. Not seeing anything like that anymore. I LOVE my current .223 PVA, but I think it will be shot out relatively soon.

So order another! lol Why look for a Rock Creek or other? I wasn’t hesitant getting my first Osprey as I had known Josh for a long time and trusted him but after shooting them I trust him more. lol Seriously though they are very accurate, as you know, and clean up quick. Cant ask for more in a barrel.

So, after dealing with breeders, scammers, etc, we had firmly decided NOT to get a dog Wednesday before last. The wife texts me the next day and says this guy needs a home. Fine, we will meet him and see. A half hour later we were at Tractor supply buying all the dog things. Meet Wilson, the Havanese. He’s a rescue, about 6-8 months old. We are alternating taking him to work (he hates to be left) at our store with the wife, and with me at the office and in the field. He’s a pretty good boy, MOST of the time. He loves everybody, but will judge the shit out of you and side eye you all day long.

He was DONE after working with me while I ran power and fiber yesterday.

He apparently likes a good Godfather also (mostly ice at that point)

Neck Lubing Process with Dry Neck Lube?

There seems to be a handful of variables that would need to be absolutely controlled to draw any meaningful conclusion on which process works best. Neck wall thickness, annealing consistency, die and mandrel dimensions, lot to lot variation, etc. Short of having an arbor press and seating pressure indication, I am using a very simple Forster stepped neck ID gauge and getting a feel for net neck tension, and don’t get overly concerned about removing or rebooting remaining Redding dry neck lube on/off cases. SD’s in single digits in a handful of 6.5 GR/CM semiautos.

Optics Advice for AR-15

I'm building my first AR-15 (JP, 18") and could use some recommendations for optics. I'll be shooting mostly bench and prone 25, 100, and 300yds. Budget is max $1200 (unless you make a strong case).

From what I've found I'm likely looking at a 1-6 or 1-8 LPVO, or something like a 2-10 with a possible offset RD. I'd really appreciate any thoughts on what makes the most sense for this!
For 300 and in, I'd be looking at a second focal plane 1-6. For your stated budget, including a good mount, I'd go with a Trijicon Credo 1-6, second focal plane. Not the HX. The one with the etched reticle with BDC for 5.56. Put it into a Leupold Mark AR mount. This is a very nice rig.

My primary LPVO is an NX8, but I take that rig out beyond 600 pretty often. Cut that distance in half and the NX8 is wholly unnecessary.

Honestly, if this is going to be a bench and prone gun, you can get a lot more for your money by going with a 2-10 or 2-12x. My 16" 800 yard rig has a Leupold Mark 4HD on top of it. You can get the non illuminated model for about $1k. In terms of actually sending rounds down range, the Mark 4 runs rings around the NX8. Don't get a scope with a 1x, unless you need that 1x and the form factor typical of an LPVO.

Of course, you could always go with a Vortex venom 1-6x AND an Athlon Helos 2-12 and have both and still be within your budget.
