Is there an actual question lurking in the OP?

Steel+Killer said:
Anyone done one via e-forms recently?

Ha Ha I know I was just checking the temp on doing one....

Is it easier to do as an individual than a trust?

If I did it as an individual, would it be possible or easier to add it to my gun trust down the road?

Other questions are since it's the serialized lower that you are registering after you SBR it can you legally use other uppers on the lower afterwards?

I guess they used to accept "multi" as the caliber now they want the specific caliber and barrel length, so I am guessing the answer is no to my previous question.

Guys I know these questions have been probably asked before and yes, I did do a search before but came up with little results.

Thanks for sharing any info and experience!

My semi auto 6.5 (which used the 22" JP-Enterprises 6.5 Creedmoor barrel and their BCG) seems to shoot best with 41.6gr H4350 and 140gr ELDs. That's with Hornady brass and CCI 34 primers though, haven't tried others.

Hey guys. Looking for my first longer range range finder. My buddy says get the biggest l can afford. I honestly hate blanket statement advise like that. I want to range to 1000 for target shooting and deer at say 600 even though that's very very unlikely.

It seems the diamondback HD2000 should work for $300. The Viper 3000 definitely seems like it would at +$100. He recommends l get the Razor HD4000 for +$200.

Can anyone elaborate on why l need the extra expense, size and weight?

When I look for a rangefinder I half the reported range it will get to to make sure I have enough power. The ranges listed by most any manufacturer are usually for reflective targets most times so non reflective can be less so buying over what you need covers pretty much anything you will range.

For what you want I wouldn’t go less than the Viper 3000 just to be sure. I have the Razor 4000 myself and it’s an excellent LRF and if you could swing the price you will be very happy with its performance. If not get the Viper 3000.

I think it does have more up to a certain distance (800yd?) then 6.5 starts pulling away. So as others have said the use cases for LE taking shots that long from gassers are pretty nonexistent. The cost to re-outfit everyone, more barrels to replace, etc compared to the nonexistent benefit makes no sense.

Depending on the bullet and barrel length, it's usually a little sooner than this. I think 600 or so is where the lesser bc of the 308 starts hampering it.

What the FUCK?!?!? They dont use the ones they have NOW lol. Shoot a few more people with the CURRENT ones that WE overpaid for, miss a few times, THEN come back with a need statement that you could actually justify. Wow. Just wanting to blow money for NO REASON. And I doubt that stupid 300wm they had on that roof is the only model they have. They have to have some sort of .223 spr somewhere for close in work, where they dont want to blow through 43 bodies before accidentally killing an innocent.

Except there’s no “lysine contingency. And, they’re not all female.

And, and, I’d bet dollars to donuts that these pups can breed with true grey wolves to create viable offspring.

Being kept at an undisclosed outdoor habitat? Hmm…

Pretty much, it's about time people started catching on to the overpriced worthlessness that is SIG. They have not released a single new design in the last decade that did not have major issues that never should have got past testing. We're not talking about things that show up 10,000 rounds later, we're talking about stuff that doesn't make it through the first range trip. If it's SIG and it either wasn't made in germany or says 226 on it, it's likely overpriced trash. Did no one learn from Kimber.......what do you think the same guy is going to do running another gun company.....

The 716/516, MCX, MPX, P210, 320, 365, Cross all had major issues and some (516/716/MCX/Cross) had recalls out of the gate, The 365 and 320 should have. The MPX was on generation 3 by it's 3rd year on the market, Gen 1 didn't even make it a year. MCX has constantly had accuracy issues, and as far as SIG is concerned 4 MOA is acceptable. P210 had recoil rod/spring failures, 365 had a host of issues cycling, and well everyone knows the 320's drama.

Every gun company has issues, and there are always things that will pop up that didn't show up in testing, until it's in 10,000 people's hands and lots of rounds downrange. The problem with Sig is a lot of their new designs have recoil spring-rate/impulse issues, that says to me SIG's engineers probably should stick to making something other than guns.

The MPX and MCX have such violent fast cycling that they destroy AR triggers..... The MPX was so bad, that for years Geiselle tried to make a trigger that would take the abuse, they couldn't, the best they could do was include 45-60% recoil springs to try and slow the bolt down. The MPX was supposedly designed from the ground up to be a suppressed platform, but it's the absolute worst at putting gas back in the users face. The 320 when it came out had such a poor spring rate that it was so weak to go into battery it didn't have enough spring tension to reliable strip and chamber rounds, but was so stiff at the end of the stroke that it was short stroking. Sig's answer.........you need 1000 rounds of break in.......no you need to put a proper recoil spring in it.

MCX has been plagued by accuracy issues, I get that they are battle rifles but in 2025 there's no reason an AR should not be able to be sub 2 MOA with good ammo, especially when SIG is charging $800 for barrels. I've bought several JP Nato barrels, every one has been sub MOA with good ammo, and for under $500.

Not to mention Sig's ridiculous parts prices.......$800 for 4 MOA barrels, $200 bolts, $600 for a stripped upper, $500 for a bolt/carrier, $350 for the recoil assembly. They make JP parts look cheap but Sig's quality is garbage on top of it.

Couldnt have said it better myself. They're trying REALLY hard to just pass off shit riding on their old reputation, thinking they dont have to adhere to same Swiss QA they once did. Past their SP2009, everything is pure garbage, even their horrible P210 imitations. I fired the real thing in Norway, and there's no comparison.

Bridger reportedly killed the bear with his hunting knife during a life or death fight after it mauled one of the campers to death.
Married into the Flathead and Shoshone and attained status as 'White Chief' among them for his expert mediation and negotiation skills.
Scout for the Union Pacific Railroad (1868-1872)
Discovered, explored, and founded the first American outposts at Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Montana Territories (1824-1830)

You’re just jealous cause I got nice pretty wood and a better pick up truck.

If I’m jealous of anything, it would be that you are driving around my old stomping grounds. I miss picking a random dirt road, and driving deep into the mountains or desert, across what would be half a state in some places. Practiced medicine in Lakeview for 10 years. Retired there, for a while, then moved to Texas. Still go back to hunt Elk near Prairie City. The guy with the big load, is standing next to his buddy’s truck, and has already loaded his own truck, the same way. He’s in his 70’s , and spent much of his life logging around NE California. Tree faller. They cut what people ask for, and in that area around Mt Lassen, they dont want lodge pole.

What is the cutoff? That is my point, is it 21 genes? Or 21million genes? I have yet to see a non philosophical answer.
It's nifty what they are doing and this is a great way to get the ball rolling with the public. The ceo has stated each de-extinction is paired with a conservation effort. I think its red wolves in north Carolina?
Does it matter if it is a restoration,restomod, or original? When does it cross over to a real dire wolf? Or is it something completely new?

I kinda want a woolly mouse with tusks.

What’s the cutoff? Well, let’s think about it. And, let’s use the human/chimpanzee example. There’s roughly 1% variation between humans and chimps. What’s the variability between humans? SUBSTANTIALLY LESS than 1%.

That can almost certainly be extrapolated to wolves as well. What’s the variation within the grey wolf genome? How about the dire wolf genome? In both cases, the variation within a genome is substantially less than the variation between genomes. So, are the genomes of these pups (grey wolf + 20 changes) closer to grey wolf genomes, or dire wolf genomes (grey wolf + ~30 million changes)?

Yes, their outward appearance resembles the dire wolf archeological evidence. But, they are circus attractions. The physical embodiment of the “dinosaurs” (Dino-amphibian chimeras) from Jurassic Park.

Don’t let the hype and media fool you. This would be a very different discussion if the headline said “Scientists study ancient Dire Wolf DNA and use the discoveries to create a really big Grey Wolf.”

This is what they did, of course.

How well it meters is a big reason I like 8208 so much. For most of my 223 loads it's not compressed like varget is. Although I tend to use 8208 for 55g. I tend to use varget in my bolt action with heavey bullets. I like 8208 for ar15 mag length rounds with 77 smk.

I saw someone in another thread mentioned they weren’t happy with the cam pressure needed to close the bolt. I am going to wait and see what my clearances are like with the 90 and my optic setup before I rush out and drop $500+ on a new bolt to save 15 degrees.

I'm all for it, full speed ahead!

Next I want to see Deinosuchus all over Florida. That place needs to get cleaned up.

The only "ethical" guardrail I see is that we need to have a strict prohibition on using it to bring back Russians after we finally get to the point of extinction.

Emerson0311 · Apr 9, 2025

I use a 2 MOA red dot on my Rimfire. I find it helps quite a bit. I use my left eye for the dot and right for the scope. My level is also on the left, although with both eyes open I “see” it in the lower left quadrant of my scope reticle. FOV at higher magnification is limiting on small targets. Factor in 700yds of open featureless field with 1-2MOA targets and it works. For $60, it adds points to my finishes. I hope my competitors think it’s dumb though.
