Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12?

I had a bunch of 2-12 Athlons, but gradually they have been replaced by S&B 3-12 Klassiks. The Athlon is better at bad breath distance, and has a much better dialability.
The glass in the S&B is just better, and unfortunately a 20% improvement costs 300% more.
So be it.
What I'd like to see is the 2-12 made in Japan. They'd rule the world.
You nailed it. This is a great scope for the money, but again I can’t get over CHINA. 🇨🇳

Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

Lower pressure is the biggest thing, the nut on the stem sounds like it's not quite tight enoughI have much better luck with flats with tubeless also. I use the E13 Shraeder valve stems. I despise the run of the mill presta tubeless valve stems. Orange seal endurance for sealant.
I do use the Tubolight SL inserts to help with side wall strength and damaging rims ( somewhat like a mousse inserts that only fills part of the volume. ) when we get dirt bikes soon, I plan on running mousseballs or something similar.
A couple of the guys in our moto group run Mousse inserts and the others run Tubliss set up. I have Tubliss on both my bikes and have had great luck. The only issue I have with the mousse inserts is they breakdown over time and need to be replaced every year ish.
$175 per insert is kinda expensive, but they won’t leave you stranded with a flat. There are trade offs for sure. (Sorry for the moto interjection….back to MTB’s)

Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

Personally, at this point, I'm of the opinion a dot on a pistol is like a scope on a rifle. Unless I'm doing something intentional that requires irons, limited division in uspsa, hunting with a iron sighted muzzleloader, or shooting a single action revolver, I don't even consider iron sights. With the quality of electronics and optics available now, and the overwhelming advantage of a dot, it's a no brainer for me. Just my opinion. To be fair, my carry guns do have useable irons, that never get used 😂.

Notice I wear a bike lock as a belt to protect both my virginity and my precious man seed from falling into the hands of an undeserving Trollope

That bike lock belt is going to make a Taco Bell ass blasting shit awful hard to clean up.

This is my SECOND lawyer. Going to speak to 2 other lawyers and fire this one tomorrow. I will pay. Show me someone who knows the law
I’m not in your AO, but reach out the anyone wealthy who has dealt with this stuff. Friend, relative, hell, even a borderline criminal acquaintance. Asking as the $$ is not important, I’m sure you can find solid representation. I would suggest the hottest meanest female you can find. Not dating material, but a tool for the job. Remember, holding fast on the moral or righteous point is stupid and not productive. This woman wants to continue her association with you because that hurts you. Your goal is to pay whatever it costs to never interact with her again. Fuck the $$, you can make more. Don’t sniff the kitty one more time, there are lots of fish in the sea.

New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

Edit 10-13, Nosler cases not Norma

Think I have it sorted. I ran 50 or so rounds today. All new Nosler gear brass that has been FLSB sized.

I changed the buffer spring to a standard carbine spring and went down to an H1 buffer. With the gas wide open w/no bleed off and 105s it’s kick the cases out at 4 o’clock. Locks back on all six mags, feeds from all six mags (not tried full yet).

Chrono of the 105s over lever (.5gr under listed max) showed 2575fps with an SD of 8.1fps. Shot one group off a bipod that went a touch over .9” at 100 yards. Plugged the numbers into quantum and verified come ups at 300,400,500 and 600 yards. Pretty much spot on.

I loaded 30 rounds of 80gr ELD VT as well. Shot one group of 5 at 100 yards and it went to 2.5”. Brass went to 3 o’clock but they shoot like shit sonI probably won’t mess with these. The 105s are cheaper anyway.

Reduced quality 22LR ammo - most match brands

Anschutz late 90's you could see bunch of these with bulky blop tube barrel weight , and a 500mm barrel
Initialy the boxy 20xx action was only availible with these short barrels only some time later could you buy the 660 and 690mm barrels that were standard for xx07 and xx13 Anschutz , at that time Anschutz was undisputed king of the hill .
Anschutz did offer a 500mm (19.7 inch) barrel with the 20xx action when it first came out in the early 1990s. It may have first served as the barreled action for the Anschutz BR-50 benchrest rifle.

By 1995 the 2013 with the long, heavy 690mm (27.1 inch) barrel was available. (In fact it's shown in the 1995/1996 Anschutz brochure excerpt you show.) In the 1990s other smallbore match rifle makers such as Walther and FWB didn't offer short barrel models.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

You dont find the dot. You foc8s on your target and bring the pistol up and the dot superimposes on the target. you dont focus on the dot like you do a front sight.
I do use target focus with a dot. So much so that when I switch back to an iron sight pistol, I find myself still using target focus for a little while.

One still needs a good index with their pistol so that the dot reliably shows up for them in a timely manner.

I guess I didn’t explain this well enough. Here’s the issue now. The judge is confiscating every firearm and everything related to firearms. Even firearms acquired AFTER I was served and purchased with money coming solely from my income. I have provided the receipts. He is also attempting to seize my NFA items which are in trust and again receipts were provided showing they are nonmarital. That is a grossly obvious unlawful seizure. This is purely punitive with no legitimate grounds. I think we’ve all seen the lawlessness in the judicial system. Once they have the items. It may be years and thousands of dollars before you get them back. I’ve SEEN IT. 10 years in law enforcement. I will not stand for a senile degenerate with a superiority complex trampling my constitutional rights. Are you guys really not seeing how overtly illegal this is? It says in the order “they will be returned at the discretion of the court”. Nope…
Apparently you refuse to spend real $$ on professional legal advice. Either you are stupid, or this is a scam thread. Get your shit together or fuck off and stop wasting the time of those who have lived this.

Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

There were A1s built with new receivers with B671xxxx serials
On edit: I was still thinking about A3s made in early 200xs, not the A1s that you noted. My oversight.

B67 or E67? I thought the “B” prefix was the early to mid-1980s era? The USMC reportedly bought their first post-Vietnam M700 receivers circa 1992, which were C-prefix. I took this picture at Quantico of what I’d guess to be one of the last of the A1s made, an E prefix with a July 2001 barrel install date…hence my confusion.

So I thought B-prefix was the approx (edit) 1980-87 era? Hence my confusion about Skunks picture…unless it was perhaps from an FBI M700 circa 1983 made in the Ray Sweet era?

Is it time to panic about my twist rate being too fast?

Here is the situation - I live in Virginia but am going to hunt in Montana the first week of November. I am using a 300 WSM with a 1:9 twist and handloaded 175gr Federal Terminal Ascents going about 2900. I had thought about stability before and looked up Montana's average November air pressure, plugged it into the bison ballistics calculator, and things looked good.

View attachment 8785438

Turns out where I will be hunting the air pressure is a good bit lower, and the ballistics stability calculator is now showing the bullet significantly overspun (Sg 2.65). Is it time to panic? I could do a quick order barrel from PVA, but would need to do more load workup. I could hope I can find some factory loads that work, I could be freaking out over nothing.

What should I do?
I'm happy to make you a rush, but it's not needed. You're fine. There's nothing to worry about with that bullet, chamber and twist rate.


Again though, if it makes you sleep better at night we can cut you a rush replacement with a slower twist rate 😁😁
