I had to use a rubber mallet on my MDT rail. I didn’t have to beat it on but it took a couple pops with the mallet to get it on all the way.

OK I'm gonna throw myself on the chopping block here. I don't know how far off this thing allegedly is. Let's just say it's 10 light years away for the purpose of discussion. Does that mean that this actually took place 10 years ago and it's just now visible here or what? Flame away

No flame suit needed. It is a great point!

It definitely happened a bunch of years ago! But we don’t find out until the light reaches us!!

That’s what is also cool about the vastness of the Universe!

When you get your scope aimed at another Galaxy, you are looking back in time a loooooong way.

Honestly, it would not be first choice. While semi accurate, it will not compete with a Rimx and Vudoo.

Probably wanted to get this done before Iran was able to get the "small packages" in place that they received from China the other day that may make targeting via GPS less accurate. Right or wrong, a lot of American blood is on the shaw's hand... im not going to lose sleep over this. Just be advised, make sure your practicing with your CCW as I'd bet an uptick in violence may come.

Midwest powders 585.3 (RL16)ish

So for those of you who have this powder or RL16 here is some initial data.
1 round at each charge to get some data for speed/pressure.
Powder from American reloading. Bullets from them too.

MP 585.3 (RL16) 6 GT test data

107gr SMK pulled

34.5gr - 2767 FPS

35.0gr- 2791 FPS

35.5gr- 2825 FPS

36.0gr- 2862 FPS

36.5gr- 2881 FPS

37.0gr-2959 FPS

37.5gr-2977 FPS

38.0gr- 3009 FPS
I had the slightest swipe on the brass at 38.0 and the primers still looked rounded

So what speed would you pick to start with? I’m thinking 36.5 to 37.0

35.5 to 36.5, the GT barrels I've used have been great in that 2830 and 2870 range.

$2000 I am selling my 1903 Springfield 30-06 sniper rifle with Warner-Swasey telescopic scope and scope case. SA ordnance bomb marked, 8-17. Scope is functional. The glass shows lots of tiny specs, but you can see what you're aiming at and the fine crosshairs are intact. A person braver than myself might be able to open it up and restore to almost like new. The glass itself appears to be unmolested with no scratches or nicks. The rubber eye-cup is intact, but very stiff and non-pliable. Silicone rejuvenator might restore it. The leather case is in fairly good condition on the outside, fabric lining on the inside is worn. Stitching is solid with the top cover buckle intact. Bottom accessory pouch is missing the buckle. Web belt hanger is there. Maker stamped on the back, "Diamond". The rifle itself is in good working order with the expected nicks, scratches and patina. Stock is solid. Front sight hood. Shipped to your FFL, C&R eligible.

One of my earliest memories, early 50's, is flying on the DC3. Just a little later I remember coming into National at night and she was so low I could see a guy sitting on his front porch reading the newspaper. What a plane. The film goes deep into the military side of her.

Trump kneeled to Netanyahu.

A nice surgical strike but I'll stay with "We should have let them fight their own war."

Bibi would have a bad day if Iran just decided to ignore the US diversion and continued to address Israel with missiles.

Well, since you have such an 'in'... any insight on my question about something in the range of a Viper PST II 5-25X being in the works?

It’s gonna be a tight fit, try loosening or removing the cross retaining screws and use a mallet to tap it into place. Don’t try to drive it in from one end, look at and match the cuts in the receiver dovetail and scope rail.

To answer your question, I have had good luck with MDT CZ457 scope bases, even those I had to (lightly) tap into place with a mallet the first time.

My MDT rail was the same as yours. I only needed to use my “palm hammer” to slide it on.
