The SIG Sauer P320 drama continues

Provincial RCMP said they saw the video of the Sept. 4th incident, which happened near the Provincial Correctional Centre in Milton Station as the on-duty officer was getting out of his police vehicle.
"There was absolutely nothing that the officer did that would appear to induce the firearm to go off," media relations officer Cpl. Gavin Moore said on Sept. 5.

Firearms Tikka T3x CTR w/KRG X-Ray Chassis, ARCA rail - 6.5 Creedmoor

I have a Tikka T3X in 6.5 Creedmoor for sale. It's one of my favorite factory rifles, but I need to make room for another purchase. The rifle has 288 rounds through the barrel.

It comes with a KRG X-Ray Stock, Heavy Arca rail, and a 5-round magazine. (Scope and suppressor, not included)

I do have the original stock if the buyer is interested.

The rifle really likes Berger factory 130gr OTM. I was getting 5 shot groups under 1/2". Found a great load using Varget and Berger 140 Hybrids. Happy to share with the buyer.

$1,250 shipped. Thats a pretty good deal since the Chassis and ARCA new is about $500-$600.

Happy to answer any questions.

Kestrel won't update

I have a Kestrel Sportsman that I upgraded to a 5700 several years ago. I went to use it Monday when trying g to sight in and get data for a new rifle. When I went to connect it to my phone via the Kestrel Link app it connected then immediately said I need to update the firmware to version 1.75. I am currently running version 1.55. I have tried to update it several times on 2 different phone as well as my tablet. It goes through the entire process then the Kestrel reboots itself. Each time it is still on version 1.55. I sent an email off to Get customer service yesterday but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone else experienced this before?

LRF Binos with AB only ?

I am toying with idea of just running the vortex fury 5ks w/ AB as a one stop shop kind of deal.

My goals are to use it for about everything really for PRS, DMR, and ever if I wanted NRL too. Getting a kestrel with this later to boot as well due to the fact of it cannot pull wind or environmentals.

Any advice from those with more experience than I ?

WTB Looking for vintage Strider Knives

Hello all,

I collect vintage Strider knives and would love to take a look at any that are available for sale. Open to all fixed blades and folders. Items with BOS stamps, swirly tiger stripes, and original Hinderer LBS would be ideal. Mick Strider Customs and unique productions or collabs are highly preferred. The older the better. Not looking for any of the Buck Striders at this time. Feel free to reach out via PM if you'd like to make a deal!

Thanks!

NRL Hunter Skills Division Benefits

I’m planning to start shooting NRL Hunter next year and I’m curious about the benefits of entering my first match, or first few matches, in the Skills division. I understand it’s a discounted match fee, not for points/prize table, and I don’t have to meet the rifle or PF requirements of the other divisions. My question is around the statement “Skills Division hunters may be coached on the clock after they have had the opportunity to try the stage on their own.”

Does that mean that I shoot the stage twice? Once as normal and then again with coaching. That seems like a match flow killer if the Skills Division hunters are in the normal match rotation.
Who does the coaching? Is it the RO of each stage, or are Skills Division hunters “squadded” with experienced hunters by the MDs for coaching?

If someone can give me a basic rundown of Skills Division and some tips on how to maximize the learning opportunities it provides, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

30-06 still relevant?

This might be a stupid question but this is the correct place for it I guess. Is the 30-06 even a thing in the long range community anymore? I see .300 Win Mag, 6.5 CRD, .260, and .308 a lot but I don’t see anyone using a 30-06. I just figured with the use of the 30-06 in WW2 and it’s good BC that more people would use it. I’m new to this so this is probably a dumb question.

Practicality: 12.5" 308 AR10 -vs- 16" 300blk AR15

Look.... I don't care about a ton of things and I super don't care about bullshit like what your SEAL friend says. I'm intending to get a PRACTICAL discussion of these two 30cal options. I know this isn't a great forum for PRACTICAL advice because some of you lunatics spend $1000 on a bipod ;) But....

I wanted to buy a 12.5" AR-10. Something like a POF Revolution/Rogue, or build something up for 100% suppressed use. I know enough about tuning gas systems that I think I can make this happen and end up with a 1-8x scoped gun that can hit pretty hard at 200-300m and in. Nothing fancy. For hunting and defense.

BUT THEN... I read a post here where people discussed the 135gr loads they were using in their 12.5" 308s, and how they were dirty and loud even suppressed, still heavy guns, expensive, just generally unlikable assholes that make barely acceptable niche guns.

In terms of practical discussion (do you see how I keep refering to that?)... Right there, that seems bad. If nothing else, the special ammo and how it was still very dirty are bad signs to me.

1. If you didn't consider it very practical to make special ammo per firearm (which I do not)... Is there a sensible round that should work well in both those sizes, something I could roll for a 16" bolt gun and a 12.5" gas gun? I wouldn't want to shoot 135gr from a 16" bolt gun necessarily, as 168-175gr seems better there. But that heavy a round in a 12.5" gas gun seems like yea maybe it is dirty and loud with lots of unburnt powder.

2. A 16" AR15 is 2" longer than a 12" AR10, just difference in the receiver and a large weight difference. But, does a 16" 300blk get anywhere near the same energy as a shorter 308 in some balanced load? I guess this comes down to how much powder you're willing to use and leave unburnt?

3. It seems to be that an 8" and 16" 300blk have more ammo compatibility per barrel length sets than the 308 guns. But does this just circle back to special ammo? Where yea, you can put a 125gr round in both, but it'll be excessively loud and dirty in that 8" 300blk gun. I sort of imagine there is no free lunch, but, in terms of PRACTICAL ownership and use, maybe it's closer to ideal than 308?

I briefly considered something in greater than 30cal range but I'd rather not get into that. Most options like 350 Legend were dead on arrival. Focusing mainly on AR platforms because of again, practicality.

Am I overlooking anything? Because I'm sort of on the line of a 12.5" 308 or a 16" 300blk. Pros on the 308 is that it can definitely hit harder, Pros on the 300blk are almost everything else including ability to cycle subs for real.


RESOLUTIONS / REALIZATIONS / EDITS:

A.
So... no. There doesn't seem to be any 308 ammo that would be clean, fireball-less, efficient, quite suppressed, not gassy when fired from a 12.5" 308 that you would also want to use in a 16"-20" 308. Ignoring twists, it just seems like the only application of 12.5" 308 is battle rifle using mil/surp ammo. I don't really want to stock milsurp or reload a 130-155gr round specially for this. As to 300blk, no one questions that it covers short and longer barrels better. However, it appears to be AT BEST between 12.5" 308 and 16" 300blk super, a 50% energy difference if you don't mind the above issues with shorty 308. If you where going to kick in doors, or want ethical shots on game without a long gun, a 12.5" 308 does seem to have specific uses. Overall this discussion was about PRACTICALITY, and for me at least, it's not there.

B. Something I hadn't considered was a bullpup. Sure enough, that could work. I wouldn't mind bullpup issues here, and you COULD get a 16" 308 in a physically very short package. Sounds great! Except... The market seems to suck for options here. There is a horrible M17S that has managed to crawl out of the 80s. The Keltec RDB with it's FAL mags and extremely finicky function. The Desert Tech MRDx which was plagued with far too many issues on release and now while there is a new version, who knows if it's worth giving a shot, that said as far as practicality, they have a single gun that can be as small as a P90 but as an 11.5" 556, a normal 16" 556 or 300blk that's smaller than an 10.5" AR, and a 20" 308 that is considerably shorter than a 16" AR-10, seems great if only they could get it to work! Then finally there is the TAVOR-7 which is the only gun that possibly has any proven reliability via it's military application, but is a 2x6 in the hands and struggles to get 3MOA accuracy, this could be largely the trigger. So.... It's a pretty slim market here. Best practical solution is if Desert Tech could unfuck their gun, but I'd still expect no better than 2MOA which would be fine for me.
