Didn't realize we had a lever gun thread. Here's my latest acquisition for the category...

I had started a thread on it here when I picked it up about two weeks ago but suffice to say Jurassic Park and Marlin's marketing had me hooked.

Quick question for the lever aficionados hear- I'm looking at ordering a few accoutrements for this and another lever rifle I have, specifically a leather butt cuff & leather lever wrap such as below:

For those that have experience with those additions any concerns/complaints? I'm concerned that while the leather wrap for the lever might add in comfort it potentially could/would trap moisture & introduce rust issues and the cuff potentially rotting where it sits against the stock if it gets wet.

Appreciate any insight there.

Those are sharp. I would get the lever cerakoted in a clear coat and rock one.

Night Vision Best used thermal clip on $4K-6K

Been going down this road searching a minute now. My experience thus far is limited to what i own which is a dnt hydra 640 and a guide tb630lrf. I just got behind the guide and its shockingly good for what i paid in comparison to the dnt as far as clip on is concerned.

I think in that range if you’re willing to outsource a mount the TB1250lrf would probably be my go to.

I took this tonight with my phone 371yds 75% humidity Steiner 2-12 is at 6x. Thus far I’m extremely impressed

As to the USA vs chinesium i think the older bae stuff still looks way better just based on footage I’ve seen via YouTube. However one my limiting factors is i really want a laser rangefinder.

My goal is to run what i have now and get the halo C when it launches.

And for those that are curious, here is the performance of the black hills M1200C load out of my rifle. 10 rounds at 100 yards

I was genuinely curious how that load would shoot. I read that it is h4350 with a Berger 140 hybrid, COL of 2.815" I believe.

I handload and have tested several loads quite a bit for my LMT 6.5 20" SS barrel. I get similar performance with the same handload. Certainly decent, but not outstanding.

I've had much better luck with the Berger 130 grain Hybrid bullet and H4350. It is consistently between .7 and 1.1 at 100 with 10 round groups, and 2,750 FPS. I know it is a lower bc, but I get significantly higher velocity. I'm surprised the military did not go with that bullet as Bryan Litz explained in an article that Berger developed that bullet specifically for AR10 use loaded shorter than 2.82".

Question for the older farts on behalf of LeftyDad. My dad had a lp record album in college in 73 or 74 (for sure before 75) that had a song on it that had a train approaching and going by on it. Started off soft with dings. Gradually got louder til the train passed. The train was not a steam train.

My dad got it from a room mate who was a dj and got it from the radio station at Snow College in Utah. My dad did a prank with it at 2am pushing 20 watts and made the people on a lower story look for the rail road tracks.

I have heard this story many times growing up.
