I know a guy who uses it for NRL22, and a few guys who, if buying a NF for PRS in 2025 would be buying a MIL-C. I have a MIL-XT in mine, and wouldn't feel held back in any way whatsoever for PRS with the MIL-C. I think the common trend is to ditch the tree these days.

I appreciate the tons of feedback about preferred magazine capacity, and I'm not too surprised about the responses. I won't give too much away at this point, but I'll say now that I'm definitely doing a legit 10 round. I'm focused on modularizing a few things and I believe everyone will be pleased.

As I've worked through this, I've noted a few interesting things and I'm pretty excited about the path to the new magazines. So, another question; given what's been available, what has worked the best for you guys? Where do you see the greater challenges related to feeding (based on how you use your rifles)?

As I mentioned recently, a lot is happening in parallel to try and make everything available around the same timeframe. I'll continue to keep everyone posted and believe I can speak to timelines very soon.

Thanks for the link...

I will try them out when they are available.

It would be nice if someone would set up a magazine for the short mag cartridges

UPDATE: So my Leupold Mk3 shit the bed after about 220 rounds. It does not hold zero and does not track anymore. So it was sent back to the distributor and it was proptly replaced with something that should be a considerable upgrade, a Nightforce NX8 1-8x.
I have just had it to the range once but I like everything about it so far.

I have been running one on a RECCE and it does well. Eye placement is a little tight, but it’s a small scope so expected. Only issue I’ve had with the reticle (FC-DMX ) is getting lost in the aiming dots under stress. I think I can overcome that by turning the illumination on dimly so the aiming dot stands out a little. If I get another it will be the MOA reticle, which is much more in line with what I shoot traditionally.

Still playing with placement, but it’s nice.

My mom inherited this Mauser from her late father, none of the family wanted it so she took it. I looked into it a bit and found that it is a desirable one, but missing some parts such as front sight hood and cleaning rod. Are there any companies that sell replacement parts or manufacture new ones? I’d like it to be as close to 100% as possible. Thanks

All day long. I have the same rifle that I'm slowing starting to restore as well. My bore is JACKED, and still shot a 1.2" group WITH IRONS at the range the other day, and my eyes are toast. I love my old Mausers.

Why not use LRFs or wind sensors as peripherals? They can stream data to ABQ, with ABQ acting as the solver. This enables live wind dope and avoids Bluetooth compatibility issues—as long as they connect to ABQ, we’re good.

I am not sure I understand what you are getting at? You can use an LRF or Calypso AB Mini as a peripheral to AB Quantum. The question I was answering is that you do not need the app running to keep the Calypso AB Mini paired to an LRF (where compatible).

“Varmint” in Secondofangle’s neck of the woods.

NATO/MIC are both irrelevant and unnecessary if it doesn't have a boogie man ie Cold War/russia as an adversary. Follow the money, that simple. To me anyways, the conflict with Ukraine has shown Russia is no threat to anyone with a quality military.

I use it on my gas guns as well. Though I use cleaning pellets that thread on to a threaded jag, and i rub it in to the pellet so there's not a lot of excess all over the place. It works, but not totally necessary if you stay on your cleaning regimen. As soon as you get home from the range, hit that bore with a new bronze brush a few times (with bore guide of course) then some tough solvent then more bore brush then patches, and the tough carbon will be minimal enough so that you wont need to use that bore paste but maybe 1 time a year obviously depending on your shooting schedule.
But no, after you clean your bore after using the stuff, there's minimal residue left afterwards. No ill effects.

Nightforce and Leupold have/had quite a few MOA options. Oldschool Short Dot LE was a German #7 or #2 post with 1/2 MOA in 2nd FP

It will lay waste to your wallet, though. But it’s never really wasted, knowwhatimean?

If you want to really lay waste to your wallet, buy an Aero M5 or any other AR10 receiver. Then set your sights on making it perform like a quality bolt gun.

It gets expensive, but damn it’s fun!

Doing that very thing right now. Your financial advisor will quit you, but hopefully you took notes when he was still talking and now you dont need him quite as much any more.

Absolutely. An extra lower or two will never go to waste, trust us.

Yup! I thought I could keep a couple as spares. Nope. Fuckin accidentally tripped and built them all. It's like the slow runup to getting hooked on heroin. The best thing to do, is listen to your therapist when they tell you that when you're talking to yourself, you're lying... Stop lying to yourself.

XTR II appear to have been discontinued. The newer LPVO from Burris all carry a lower price tag. I'm thinking quality will reflect the price.

Bury him neck-deep in a nice, big fire ant mound and come back in a couple days.

Was mine too until Eurooptic in an attempt to make me spend even more money there, told us about Sako's classic rifle bringback sale lol. So that project's on hold now.

I believe the Burris XTR II 1-8s are available in sfp.

Ahhh I see. So a perfect storm. Normally, this does not happen. Joes training, especially in a jungle or arctic warfare or like pro athletes in the summer months are under stresses normal humans are not, sometimes EVER in their lives. This is extraordinarily rare. Most of the time you dehydrate, not accidentally flush the elctrolytes out by overhydrating. And MRE's have a lot of sodium in them as well, which is why I'm so confused.

I saw “New” and thought “oh, maybe something’s finally happening with Vudoo…” what was I thinking…

No budget to work within.

By BDC, I'm referring to reticles with stadia marks based on a specific cartridge. A definite no go.

I'd rather have the stadia evenly disturbed. Example, every 5 moa or 2 moa.

The dials don't need to be exposed. Using holdovers is preferred.

I haven't heard much good regarding the Sig Tango. While the extreme opposite is true of the Vortex Razor.

I'm just surprised that the options are so few.
