We may finally know who’s been to the island



And then I’ll be expecting J6 and Covid type raids with tanks and machine guns and snipers and dogs from the feds all the way town to town constable 👮.

And if we see any type of action like that at all it’ll go a long way toward rebuilding trust .

Reloading Equipment WTS: Like New Lyman All-American 8 BrassSmith Turret Press with Upgrades

I bought this brand new a few months ago for a friend that wanted to get into reloading. Purchased Inline Fabrication quick change mounting plate and 4" Micro quick change UltraMount and Roller Handle for it along with the Lyman press cover.

Didnt even take the priming hardware out of the box or set up. I installed the press on the Inline Fab Quick Change plate and set it in one of my Ultramounts to show him how to use it in my shop before he took it home. We deprimed some cases and that was it.

As I started going through the process and showing him, he reversed course right then and there and made it clear after seeing it done live in person that reloading wasnt for him.

I told him OK ill sell this stuff. So im now out the money for these items and looking to get most of my money back.

This stuff is literally like new, press looks brand new and was taken out of the box and deprimed a few cases. Thats it.

I paid the following:

Lyman All American 8 $ 282.99
Lyman All American Cover $ 18.00
Inline Fabrication Quick Change TopPlate $41
Inline Fabrication Roller Handle $81
Inline Fabrication Micro UltraMount $94

Paid $516.99


Everything shipped for $425.00

If you dont want the Inline Fab Micro Ultramount ill do everything shipped for $375.00


Just the Lyman press and press cover, no Inline Fabrication accessories, $265 shipped

Night Vision PVS-24 L3 CNVD GP Clip on

Excellent condition L3 CNVD Green phosphor PVS-24. I bought this to use on my mk12’s and ended up selling those so this has been just sitting in the safe for years. Works 100% with zero issues. These are exceptionally built units and never go bad.


Would take a partial trade towards a NF ATACR 4-16 in mil xt or mil c.

Firearms SAC 260 PRS Rifle, w/brass, dies, free MagnetoSpeed $2750.00 shipped!

I bought this used from MHSA in October of 2020, and it was The most accurate rifle I’ve ever bought! I was told it had only 800-900 rounds through it.

I used it for the next 4 years and had SAC install another 27” Hawk Hill MTU 1:8” .264 cal barrel in February of 2023 I had bought two years prior. Along with a 27” .308 Krieger MTU in 1:9” twist for shooting long distance precision using the Berger 185 Juggernaut bullet. (That barrel is sold separately from the cost of the rifle being sold as well as the NF ATACR Scope and MDT mount.)

The 260 was chambered at SAC with a Match Tac reamer designed for Lapua brass and with BT right at the neck/shoulder junction with Sierra 142 CN SMK’s I’m using. Currently loaded ammo COAL is 2.8300”.

I typically get 2,800-2,825 f/s with this barrel using various powders designed for this case. H4350, H4831sc, VV N160, etc, and they all provide exceptional accuracy no matter how you assemble the ammunition.

The 260 has 711 rounds total down the barrel, (07/06/25).

The Krieger 308 Winchester barrel has only 297 rounds down the barrel! Honestly it has the same thread pitch as a few of my other actions, so it’s not important if it sells or not. ($800.00)

The SAC 260 rifle without the NF Scope and MDT Scope mount and bipod is now $3,650.00 as of 07/10/25 which will include 700 pieces/ or close to it, of Lapua 260 Remington brass used in this gun. (All of it will be SS media cleaned, but not sized.)

NF ATACR 5-25x56 F1 Mrad, Digi, PTL, ZeroStop, Mil-XT reticle with MDT Mount, or a SPUHR SP-4001 mount if you prefer. $3,000.00.

Krieger 308 Winchester barrel $800.00.

I competed in PRS with this rifle as well as another one identical too it, but is a 6GT/ SBR 308.

There’s plenty of shooters out there twice as good as me and as such, would be in the top tier competitively with this rifle!

I can’t competitively compete anymore due to my age, so I’m selling off this rifle to someone that can actually give it the justice it deserves.



The SAC alpha II is a proprietary action designed by Mark Gordon, and was built by the defiance machine.
It features a AW cut bottom, and this comes with a Surgeon Rifle bottom metal, and (1) AI AW Ten round magazine.
Trigger Tech Diamond w/Pro-curve shoe.
Hawk Hill .264 MTU 1:8” @ 27” threaded 5/8x24.
MCS T4A stock w/custom paint job.

The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

I just got this scope yesterday and thought I'd post some whistle wetters about it. Straight off I'll mention I'm loosely associated with Athlon and have been since this company came about. That being said I've gotten a few scopes from Athlon in the past that had things I personally didn't prefer or for whatever reason the prescription in some of them didn't work for my eyes. However I haven't had any out of 20 or so of their scopes have to be sent back for repair which is pretty darn good.

Each generation of scopes has shown improvement in a number of ways is a point I plan on making in this post.
Back a decade or so I had a G1 Ares BTR 2.5-15x50. It was okay for a first try and my only complaints were turrets action feel was too soft and the Image Quality/IQ could have been better. Some felt the IQ was sub par but I didn't, or I should state not for what it cost back then. I remember comparing it to a FFP SWFA 3-15 and I found it superior IQ wise by a decent margin It worked fine and I sold it a year later to a local hunter who killed a deer that fall with it on the gun. Enough on that scope.

I bought a G1 Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 shortly after that which I suppose you could say was a G 1.5 scope. Athlon had made the turrets better on it. I sold it when the Ares BTR G2 4.5-27 came out and got two of these. Once again Athlon had improved the turret feel. I was impressed by this compared to every other competing brand I'd come across. Like I've mentioned before here on the Hide the Ares BTR 4.5-27's prescription wasn't working well with my eyes. So I sold them and got Cronus G2 4.5-29's which do work well with my eyes. Enough on that.

Speaking of the Cronus G2 turrets. I still like the firm action feel, distinctness, the audible click sound, lack of lash, and how well the .1's on the turret match the line on the housing. IMHO they are about as good feeling as a turret can be. I've had older S&B's, NF's, USO, March's and although each brand of turret felt different I wouldn't say that the Cronus G2 turrets are inferior in feel to any of them.

I had headed out to the shop to have a look see, opened the safe to grab what I thought was a Athlon Midas TAC 5-25 sitting on the shelf to have something to compare immediately the new G3 Ares I had just gotten out of the box. It turned out the G3 turrets were even better. Then I looked closer and realized I had grabbed my G2 Cronus instead! :unsure: What, how could that even be, no way??!!
This is my first positive comment about this new G3. Not only are the turrets wider than the Cronus, not only are they shorter profile, but they feel better in every way. Also because the G3 turrets are wider there's more room between each click. C'mon man on a mid priced scope like this?????!!!!!! Wow I really have to compliment Athlon at this aspect alone!
Not much longer than this I got my Ares ETR 15-60 out to compare, yep the G3 turrets made these already nice turrets feel mediocre.

All the rest of the controls are IMHO just right. Nothing to loose or too tight and no wiggle of the diopter at all. I like the size of the magnification actuator/switchview on the mag ring, it's the perfect size and it can be easily removed as well.

That's all for today but I have more interesting things to bring out. I did mount the scope on a air rifle for now to use it right on my property so I'll edit this post tomorrow with more thoughts then.
Some photos. The other scope is the G2 Cronus.

I have four original Vudoo metal magazines for sale. Three mags are 10 rounds, one mag is 12 rounds. One of the 10 round mags is new in the packing as received from Vudoo. The 12 round mag appears unused, though the plastic wrapper has been opened. The other mags have very-light use, have never tasted dirt, and are in excellent condition. Fits the v22T and 360 rifles. Comparatively, aftermarket V3i metal mags are $150 each. Be sure the 12 round mag is legal in your state before ordering.

All four mags…$700 shipped via USPS, signature, insured.

Rifle Scopes Optic under $1500

I like to shoot a few local 100-1000 yard matches a year, and then just plinking around the local range or at the house. Not competing on any serious level.
I have a 6.5CM rpr that I’m looking to glass up. Illumination doesn’t matter, but needs to be .mil and ffp.


I qualify for .mil pricing for companies that offer.

I’ve mad just about all the mid tier/ high(ish) tier glass over the years.

Looking at:

Leupold mark 4hd 6-24

athlon Cronus

Tract 4-25

Burris xtr pro

Those are listed in order of cheapest to most expensive from the price lists I’ve seen.

Precision Rifle Gear Sig KILO Warp WMLRF

Well this was buried in Sig releases today. Uses the same engine and laser from the Kilo 10k with AB Elite on board. Only down side I see is the Bluetooth remote.




Something interesting, looks like it can be pair with Sig new Bravo6T-BDX line of scope that has a built in display. This would allow you to range and hold over without coming off scope.

New scope for a western hunt?

Hey folks, new guy here from VA.

I've hunted most of my life here in VA (and I'm old) with a few hog hunts in the south. I've taken a lot of whitetail with bow, muzzleloader, and mostly shotgun, only a few with rifle. Never shot game past 200 yds.
I just picked up a Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed in 7mm PRC and planning an elk hunt out west next year. I'm trying to decide on a scope for this rifle and could use some advice.
I'm flexible on criteria as I have no experience out west, but here's where I'm at.
Max magnification 15-20
compact and light weight
zero lock exposed elevation turrets
Open to FFP or SFP
max range 600yds (with lots of practice)
Budget < $1500 but I will most likely purchase through Expertvoice where I get some really good discounts.

I currently have several Burris (including a first gen eliminator), and a few really old Nikon's, the last scope I purchased was a Vortex Viper I have on a T3x 6.5 creed. While I've had good luck with all of these, I'm not brand loyal so open to suggestions.

Right now I'm looking at:
Leica Amplus 6 3x18x44
Steiner H6Xi 3x18x50
Burris Veracity PH, and a couple of the XTRs (the HUD in the Veracity is interesting)
Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44

Some of these don't list the weight, but I'd like to keep that as low as feasible.

Nightforce, Vortex, and Zeiss are also available

Appreciate the help

The "Taylor was Here" Rear Bag - Answer - Compromise - Grande' - *SHIPPING*

IMG_3112.png




I have a very unique take on your relationship with your rear bag and its relationship to your shooting. What for some is a total afterthought, given very little consideration beyond what is trending in the marketplace or is being promoted heavily by this shooter or that. My take comes from being in your space. You see, I spend a ton of time down on a knee watching the relationship between shooter and equipment. This time provides me, and ultimately you, a diagnosis of what is going wrong, or should we say “differently” from shot to shot.
