Precision Rifle Gear Bipods?

working on it, just got my prototype back from a buddy who was testing it after the last NRL hunter match I shot
I'm all over this. However, I've personally experienced and witnessed with other brands of carbon legged bipods (going back approximately 10 years) where the legs break in someway or another under a lot of competition/hard use work. In fact, there is a Tricer bipod thread going on right now and it is also has carbon legs....someone already posted a video of a carbon leg failure (not even from hard use).

I know it's got to be challenging making carbon legs on a bipod durable enough for hard use. Just curious how your design addresses that challenge.

MARS Zeroing

Hey everyone,

I got a MARS, and the info sheet is pretty vague about zeroing/collimating the day optic and the WMLRF.

It says to use 100m, which I’m assuming 100y would be better if that’s what I’m shooting in. But beyond that it’s not really specific enough for my simple mind.

In using an Impact 4k previously it had the user measure HOB from the diving board and optical center line then essentially offsetting them (I think it was a 0.6 mil offset or something similar).

The MARS literature says nothing about that what so ever just. Just align the reticle with the vis laser at 100m, and aligning it with the range of engagement is even better. Kinda hilarious considering the device is for finding said range of engagement, but I digress.

Anyone have any advice or tips for how to maximize this things ability? It’s going on a field match rifle so the whole idea is less gear to mess with and accurate range and firing solutions as fast as possible.

Thank y’all.

Pistol Reloading Issue I cant figure out

So I had a bunch of 9mm loaded not too long ago. Just range ammo using some 115gr XTP that I got free from Hornaday on their free bullet promo.
Loaded up a bunch and never did anything any different than I ever have.
Had bought a new carry gun in 9mm so wanted to get to the range and shoot it.
Get there and the first mag I made about 7 rounds and the gun locks up, and I mean locks up solid.
Finally got it free and notice the round in the chamber the bullet had pushed back in the case...Kind of weird, never had it happen before.
So loaded up and shot again. Made it about 5 or so rounds and it did the same thing.
Got my other 9mm out and it happened again.
So stopped shooting and went home.
Got to looking and there were a bunch of rounds in the 100 count box that would just push back in the case.
So checked all I had done and out of about 500 rounds, about half would push back.
So checked my dies and reset them and loaded a few dummy rounds and did a push test and again the bullet would push back into the case.
Had the taper set just like the instructions said. Nothing worked right.
Probably reset the dies 5-6 different times, took them apart and cleaned them. Nothing worked.
I cant figure it out at all. I don't know if its a die issue or what.
I had some loaded from a few years ago still that were done with a RCBS die and they are all fine.

The only difference in the two is the ones I had issues with were the Hornady bullet and loaded with Hornady dies. And the others were just round nose bullets loaded with RCBS dies.


Contacted Hornady and they said I could send the dies, bullets, brass in and they would check them. But I don't understand what might be the issue.

Not new to reloading pistols as I load for 45acp, 40S&W and 357 also and have zero problems with them.

Anyone by chance have any ideas?

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

Nothing personal but the buisiness " reality" is what got us to this point.

Pure greed, and fuck everyone additudes of all buisiness in general and the sheep that can't tell the difference. Yes I had a successful buisiness till I hurt the feelings of some big players and they fucked me over . Also shits. They couldn't beat me at the game so they bought out the players.

The additude of never investing in the future to maximize current gains will kill this country like a slow nuclear war that some of us apparently have allready thrown the towel in the ring on.

No God damned use getting sweaty or bludgeoned up just take a dive and get paid.

Corporate shits.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

So I suppose we just sit here and take it? No

Let's get this strait, bad policies in the past mostly by Democrats got us in this shitty position and the plan is to wait around till they come back in power to reinforce stupidity?

You're kidding right?
Not kidding at all. Its basic risk management for any business. Why invest in something when there is a real risk of it being nullified down the road? Have you ever run a business? Everything is risk v reward. Either you run it out of your pocket or the shareholders' pockets, both of which require profit on investments. In order to move the businesses here permanently you are looking at either permanent tariffs or government subsidies to those companies. I have serious doubts about these tariffs being permanent and I for sure wouldn't go all in on expansion until the dust settles.

I'm not against the tariffs, I never said that. But there are things businesses must consider before they invest in America. Basically, there is no trust that the politicians won't turn their backs on both the American business and the American workers the first chance they get. This is one of his main points in the article. Why? Because they are beholden to their donors and for those donors it is still too expensive to produce here at the same price point it can be gotten overseas, and at a minimum if the tariffs go away the profits of these companies are better if they go international where the production cost are lower, so you can bet your ass they will be pushing for that, and soon. Case in point: Walmart and Target have already met with Trump over this issue. Until that changes and you get lobbyists out of the politicians offices nothing is going to change in any permanent fashion. This is the reality of business.

Need UPS for FX120i

Putting a 100-gram weight on the scale and seeing "100" is not calibrating it. See pages 30-31 of the manual for the external-weight calibration procedure.

I'm not saying calibration should/would have any effect on drifting - it probably shouldn't - but to me it's a reasonable step to take.
View attachment 8670357
You're right about just putting the weight on the scale and I guess I should have been more clear how I was using the check weight. Because that calibration procedure is so simple, that's what I do verily often for the reason I stated. :giggle:

Maybe that's one of the things that keeps mine from drifting. 🤷‍♂️ ;)
