AN/PVS-10 eBay $4000. Titled as a .50BMG version, but this is for the M24 in 8.5X. There were some scopes made for the Barrett M82/M107 in I think 12.5X.

Those things SUCKED when new... horrible piece of kit. Didn't work as a day or night optic worth a crap.

I was lucky and got my stuff retrieved. Not much hassle, other than having to reset my password to the same password .

Usually you'll see a couple headaches with new website launches. I don't think you'll see anyone more concerned than EuroOptic themselves, as that will translate to lost sales.

Give it a couple weeks.

200 down the 308
6.5 Creedmoor is brand new.

Marcus Lutrell is not a member of Congress.

atomic41 said:

Basically Lutrell was told by the navy to go along with this fake story and they wrote a book without his knowledge. Then showed up with the book and said, "here is your book and now you are a recruiter".

Click to expand...

Nope. Lutrell ran for his life and then lied to save face.

He later spun the same lie into a cash-generating scheme, and celebrity.

He is now thoroughly disgraced.

Tim Kennedy's lies, stolen valor, and meltdowns have been entertaining though.

LOL- Tim Kennedy and his 50 grenade rucksack.

He has enough documented assclown behavior that is vouched for by witnesses- I just hope the story about maiming the Iraqi kid who touched his eyepro was also BS.

What’s the real story behind Chris Kyle and joko? Haven’t heard any of that…

Click to expand...

Chris Kyle was like a mini-Gallagher collecting sport kills against non-combatants, in order to fuel the insurgency and get more Americans killed.

Maj. Jacko, like Lt. Jake Portier in the Gallagher misconduct, buried his head in the sand, and supposedly even covered up some of his crimes.

It's actually something of a joke...

Jacko sells "Extreme Ownership" to civvies after a career ducking responsibility and failing to uphold the standard.

"The Murph" is the hardest CrossFit workout- named after a guy who was too lazy to bring along the crew served because it was heavy, was too lazy to bring along a real radio so he grabbed an MBITR, was too lazy to walk uphill so he told the birds to drop him right on top of the OBJ....

etc, etc..................

I just noticed Hornady recommends a minimum twist of 1:8.5" for their 250 grains A-Tip... my barrel is a 1:10". Isn't that the issue ?

Click to expand...

Yes the twist is incorrect. Most guys are running at least 1:9 and often 1:8 twist. Depending on your density altitude and with enough velocity you might get away with it at high altitude but I assume you are near sea level. It sounds like the 230 grain bullet is as heavy as you are able to stabilize.

No doubt they are 100%. I only started this thread because the website was completely new from the last time I was there and seen something that could have been fishiness. Can't be too careful these days.

Aftet hearing it was legit I made the mistake of resetting my password and logging in. That simple password reset cost me over $3k.

No pitchforks here.

Exactly.

And exactly why I’m pushing so hard for Anybody But Cornyn next year here in Tejas. I’m seriously considering raising money for billboards that say something like that…

A picture of a play-set with wooden blocks that says “Remember your ABCs..Anybody But Cornyn”

Or a picture of a rhino with Cornyn’s face goring Sam Houston, Jim Bowie or some other Texas Patriot in the back, with something like “I’d rather fight a Democrat face-to-face than get stabbed in the back by a RINO” as the copy line.

We need to fight hard to purge the ranks of these cucks and traitors… We need fighters.

From what I have seen of Stephen Miller so far, I think he would make a solid presidential or VP candidate in the future.

I doubt it is the same quality you would normally get.
The machines are probably running 24/7 at warp speeds.
Its probable it's been loosened up on thier qc.

I don't understand all the concerns, you can headstamp sort range brass and still make sub moa rounds. It saves one round of supplies and barrel life.

I won't argue the quality of Lapua brass, but if you think it's keeping you from producing a good round you should look at your process or setup.

For actual PRS, I wouldn't bother with anything under 7 lbs and 1.20 x 24...and even that won't auto-balance in any modern chassis. So you have a dilemma now that PRS match rifles are now one-trick ponies and very expensive.

For basic club shooting, prone/bench, plinking, varmits, walkabout etc...you'd be way better off with a .75, .87 or .90 straight taper. And yet it makes zero sense to but a second barrel if the resale value/ ROI on the second barrel is -90% of investment.

Click to expand...

Yeah that’s the way to go now so people can just buy it that way and go. Probably never have to rebarrel. I only kept my original barrel in the pic above for if I ever wanted to swap my 1.2” to something lighter. It’s all set for my action.

Rubicon I get being able to use a prefit as I use them on the center fire but if you buy the rifle correct for the use the first time it’s really a non issue with the Rimfire barrel life.

David Lott said:

We individually made stuff work back then. A 100-yard shot was a long poke with big targets. Now, if you do your part, you can buy a barreled action, chassis, trigger, and your choice of optics and go straight to the podium.

Click to expand...

We were shooting 350+ at that match in the pic. I had that rifle accurately to 550 yards. Now the game has turned into the 22+ weight rifles and that’s fine as I have one now too but you aren’t buying a podium spot. lol

The NASDAQ, S&P, and Dow are all below their 200 DMA. The head and shoulders topping pattern I talked about regarding NVDA has confirmed to be real and it is well below its 200 DMA, has been for a bit.

Bloomberg's Mag7 Index, which peaked in December is down around 20% more than the rest of the stocks in the S&P 500.

Junk bond spreads are increasing - this is the real story.

NO fun in saying that, but the technicals are a thing. This has been telegraphed as an upcoming event for a while now.

damn i thought i got a good deal snatching a Rico hybrid 50 with free LRF a week ago. This is a great deal on a killer thermal with the built in LRF. GLWS, wish I waited a week

I went with the unimount just because it looked like there is more space between the rings and the rear ring is farther back on the unimount. I like to get the rear ring as close to the ocular bell as possible to minimize the effects of leverage in case the bell takes a hit.

In any case, one thing I found disappointing with the nightforce mounts is the lack of options for mounting a top dot. I found that using the options from nightforce too high. I did find a company by the name of Koeng that offers mounting plates for mounts, like the nightforce and Leupold stuff.

Check this out...

These are the error budgets for that 375 with the Velocity spread opened up to 30 fps, the BC spread to 3%, and the precision to 1.0 moa for the Intermediate shooter. The Beginner has 60 fps, 6% BC, and 1.5 moa. This is as much about the reloader as it is the shooter.



Wind is included here as well to provide another sense of scale.

Another huge problem with bum rushing the problem with velocity and BC is most ELR matches require strings of 10+ shots and the match is generally decided at the longest targets which are the last ones shot.

Thanks for posting the link guys.
I don't know how i missed that.
I been oxygen deprived a little this week.

Exactly this. It’s not really that it’s a new idea, it’s that we can now actually make it work as originally ideated.

For example, 6.5 CM and .276 Pedersen

Click to expand...

7PRC, 6.5PRC, 300PRC, ect. They just have good marketing behind them.

I have not seen a single new cartridge after the IHMSA craze in the 70'ies.
6.5IHMSA = 6.5x47 = 6.5CM.
6mmBR/6.5BR/7BR.
Etc, etc.

The only new cartridges I know of are the defunct Voere 6mm Vec91 caseless, that was emediatly forbidden in BR comps based on Jarrett rifles prototypes that shot too well, 277Fury and the new 280 Federal Whatever..

There are a few seals that have talked about it. Basically jocko was a terrible leader and kyle was under his command. They worked to pump up the sniper kills so a lot of sketchy war crimey shit was done. If you just search youtube you will find lots of talk about it.

Chris Kyle also lied about the superdome, he absolutely lied and defamed Jesse Ventura, he lied about his kill count. Oh and shot of a lot of innocent. Oh he also lied about his medal count for some reasons.
Greatest American sniper …
