I'll say it, I'm skeptical. I've seen barrels with a muzzle device that'd have a crown get caked up with carbon, I've seen corrosion too, but I can't say that I've seen, experienced, or heard of a muzzle device causing any kind of gas cutting at the crown in so few rounds. You said that you removed the brake, re-crowned the muzzle and now it's back to its old self again shooting 1/2 MOA. Does that mean you shot the second 1/2 MOA group without the brake after the crown job? If that's the case, isn't it possible that the muzzle just had some carbon fouling on it and it didn't like having a clamp on device at the end?

I'm not saying that you didn't see a UFO but without pictures this largely becomes conjecture. It is a cautionary tale in muzzle devices though.

That's interesting, since I know the .300BO powder drop definitely goes into the ID of the case mouth (I ordered an Armanov one IIRC, because I didn't want to pay for a complete conversion kit when all I needed was the drop tube and the plastic case feed adapter, since I already had the .223 conversion kit).

Here’s a pic of the inside of an Armanov one I have it might flare it somehow but I can’t see anything that would indicate it’s indexing the drop inside the case.

LaRue C-Note and Ergo grip for $90?

I just stopped at my local Harbor Freight and picked up the small, $80 model. The only cleaning solution I had was Mister Clean. 3 8 minute cycles removed 5k rounds worth of carbon from the BCG. I should have done this a lot sooner.

It’s not a trend in my case. The B14R comes with 18” and 20” heavy. I bought a 18” years ago. Shoots very well. I now bought a hvy 20” model from battlehawk. The price they sell for is worth the $$ in my opinion. I’ll shoot the two against each other and whichever shoots worst (unless they both hammer) will get a barrel upgrade from Modacam or I’ll pull the trigger on a Rimx or something

I’m buying this chassis with the idea that I’ll have a 24” tube or similar in it eventually.

My 18” factory barrel put 29/30 shots inside 1” at 100 yards the last time out with SKLR. Which is why I rolled the Bergara dice again.

We’ll see how it plays out. I shoot mainly prone so balance won’t be a major issue for me but I do like to train with at least tripod shooting as well.

I don’t think the Matrix Pro II will leave me “wanting” after this. The barrel swap can fix the balance issue. I’d spend half what a Modacam barrel would cost on weights if I kept the factory setup so it’ll have to be a hammer. But I’m willing to work with it if it is

Even after the barrel swap, you’ll still need to add weights if you desire the 4” balance point. If it’s just prone and tripod shooting, then it matters much less. I run a Pro2 and love it.

Need a 10x upper limit for the division. 34mm, g2 mildot, adjustable parallax. Going to live on 10x so it's about perfect. Other options would be a mk5 2-10 or zco2-20 but that's like 5-10 times the cost.

I bought a t3x lite 300wm - then found the mag is only 3.350 shorter than even a sav mag. I read through some post here on aics mags and bottom metal where you cut the trigger face down and notch feed ramp -or not- to get to 3.500- sav mag length. which is still too short imo. maybe I didnt read enough post or misunderstood - is there no other options ? if not I may sell it without shooting it and move on back to Remington. any advice appreciated tia

They are lucky that I am not Elon. If I was worth $300B, I'd spend a $B or two to hire a private army to destroy everyone within a block of the people calling for or perpetrating violence against the farmers. My reactions would make Israel after Oct 6th look like amateur hour. If it costs NASA a trillion dollars and 10k employees to put a rocket into space, and Elon did it for a million dollars, while carrying 50x the weight Nasa has ever attempted, with his cell phone. So if it costs the US government half a trillion a year to keep an ineffective war going, Elon should be able to clean up south Africa for about a quarter mil..

I wonder when Elon will become a nuclear nation?

I mean... he can afford it!

Step 1. Buy island.
Step 2. Declare sovreignty.
Step 3. Have a bunch of brains turn a pile of yellowcake into a nuke in about 2 weeks (I mean, they are nerds.)
Step 4. Issue statement that "Anyone who vandalizes a Tesla will be turned into a shadow picture."

Billion dollars, tops.

45-degree Offset


Pros: Easy to acquire by rolling the rifle over.
Inline with the bore and basically at a co-witness height so I can use whatever zero scheme I want.

Cons: It's awkward to use from the support side.
Mounts take up rail space.
I have to take extra shit with me to support the gun while it's canted at an angle to zero.
My situational awareness sucks with larger optics because when the gun is rolled over the optic blocks my field of view.
What ends up happening is that my brain then sends all the signals to my right eye so I end up seeing through a tube with a dot in the
middle surrounded by black. That sucks transitioning from target to target, but hey sweet cheek weld.

12:00 mounting location:


Pros: Easy to zero, I can just stay in position with the same bipod and rear bag and zero at 100 same as the optic.
The optic is no longer blocked by the scope so when in use I have increased SA going from target to target.
I can use the optic from the dominant or support side without much issue.
I can see the dot just over the elevation turret so it's not really a chin weld with the cheek riser, I basically lift my head and there's the dot.
Deconflicts rail space for accessories like dope card holders, brass catchers, levels, etc...

Cons: Taller profile. This can get in the way depending on the situation but so can the 45 offset.
Limited options for quality stand alone mounts unless going with a new mount that has the option to swap turrets.


Those are just some of my experiences in experimenting with the two set ups over the past year.

Mandela was another terrorist. surprised the SA gov didn't off him. got his ass hugely kissed by the lib west. guess they thought it would cause an open uprising? actually the Zulus were in line with the white gov for the most part. tribal thing Mandela was Xhosa tribal enemies i think. when Mandela got in corruption exploded. seems to me the SA gov caved to external pressure because the white pop was so scattered,isolated and too vulnerable to have the army use the big guns. sanctions on them were brutal. they did have nucs i have heard (via Israel).. Kenya was a similar situation that made the white pop very vulnerable to Mau Mau attacks. the white pop was split as well the English part was proish Mandela,the Afrikaners knew better.

Carter and his bleeding heart weenies turned Mandela into a Saint.... US was helping fight the communists all over Africa. Carter came in and the first thing that his people did (esp. Stansfield Turner) went all 'human rights' and then put Gerald Bull in jail. Who had been helping South Africa improve its artillery to fight the commies... with a nod from the Agency. This was why Bull, a great scientists and ballistics genius, ended up in an American Jail... for selling intellectual property to the South Africans. Yup, arrested from his facility in Vermont and put in jail. For doing what the DoD and intel community ASKED him to do.

Carter's weenie State Dept and his gutting of the intel community (Stansfield Turner) was what started the domino's falling. Cuba (Soviet proxy) moved in. So did other proxies... with weapons, info ops and training. While Carter was banning cigarette lighters in the White House because they consumed oil.

Mandela was a bomber and a terrorist. He did a great re-branding as a 'freedom fighter' and the darling of the Hollywood left and the Atlantic. People act like he was in jail for giving some 'we shall overcome' speeches. Nope... for being a bomber.

I can hear the RHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE starting already.
