Rifle Scopes Dilemma - WMLRF on older scope vs new Scope & and HHLRF

Take all that wmlrf money and add it to your scope budget.

Then go in the px here and buy any flavor of used 7x lrf.

Unless you are specifically wanting it for field matches. Then disregard.

Well it's either WMLRF with old scope or new scope and no WMLRF, but a budget LRF like Sig Kilo 3 or sm. lol

so around 1500 for scope and 400ish for LRF (plus rings). there goes 2k

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

XBR is the best powder I have used for the 77gr SMK. 24gr is what I have used. Recently got some 73gr ELDM and the 24.5 load has been shooting well.
That's warm! I usually start getting some light ejector marks around 23.8.

It's good it's been so available. They charge as if it's actually wrapped in gold haha.

Customer Accuracy Expectations

A full custom purpose built gun...... Most everyone seems to be using factory made guns and just replacing parts as their custom. No one here has ever showed a real benchrest rimfire gun and what they do compared to a put together gun.

So are you building a benchrest or a NRL type? A pure br then take 0.1" off below #'s

0.3" @ 50
0.7" @ 100
don't shoot past that soo can't say.
Right about here, ish… These would be the absolute max for average group size at 50 yards, I actually expect better with very good ammo (not necessarily stringently lot tested for that rifle) in perfect conditions. At 100 yards 0.7-0.8/0.85 inch is about what I expect. Beyond that I don’t care because to me that proves the rifle is capable and it’s is a matter of finding the best ammo. I am talking in terms of 5 round groups for at least a 30-50 rounds or 10 round groups for 5 groups or so. Something like that.

I have owned several rifles that were able to repeat this over the years, all were shot prone with a bipod and light weight rear bag. For a true Benchrest rifle I would expect better.

I do agree with everything Justin armature has said over the years about groups don’t really matter if they are not centered up, but IMO that is more on the shooter than the rifle. Especially when shooting in a fashion other than pure Benchrest.

For a little more on this, if I have a rifle that no matter what I do will not consistently shoot in the 1/2 MOA range at 50 yards I will either rebarrel it or sell it hard stop.

Smarter Than You

So what your saying is stick to the trades and skip college and stay out of debt
No better time to go to college than the present. With professors having chatGPT write all their assignments and students having chatGPT complete them. One can pay 10s of thousands of dollars and get through college without learning anything. 🤡🤡🤡

what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

I prefer to assm. uppers with accuracy being preferred... and BA / Aero barrels tend to be a "hit or miss" in that dept.

A respected barrel is a inexpensive cost , compared to the ammo's cost used during a barrels life... so why not buy a better barrel for about a $120 dollars.
We all are willing to buy "expensive" ammo ,in hopes of improving accuracy, and tend to spend that extra "$120" on ammo trying to make a inexpensive barrel shoot to our expectations.
To me, buying a more precision oriented barrel, is worth more than a more expensive trigger or "fancy" BCG. ( How ever I do like a better trigger, Lol )

I have had great results from Criterion barrels... so IMHO, that is money well spent.

The gain in overall general accuracy, has been worth it to me... even in less prone to accuracy built uppers.. ( 300BK / 5.56 Pistols. )

That said, BA and Aero have their place in the AR world. They all seem to work and meet a spot in the AR market.

It is kinda about what you want from your barrel.

Ultrasonic cleaners

I use brass juice, doesn't take much and I get a couple washings before I replace it.

Are they still in Business? I ordered some a couple years ago. Took my money and never sent a thing. Reached out via every form of contact and never got a reply. Ended up doing a chargeback. Saw god reviews but it was an odd experience.

Lying through their teeth about the clot shot.

Senate testimony about the clot shot is going on. The first guy i saw was talking about how scientists and public health officials were very forthwith publicizing any potential dangers of the jab, and that claiming there was absolutely no cover up of dangerous side effects.

Then the next guy starts in about how many lives the COVID jabs saved by reducing the severity of disease. And how Trumps cuts are going to effect vaccine safety.

So not only will nobody be hanged for it, if we let them sort it out. We are going to have to listen to a bunch of bloviating retards, retell all the lies from 2020-2023 as though they haven't been proven false.

"The clinical data shows the shots reduced the severity of disease."

"The shots were safe and effective."
