Hi all,
Anyone have experience with either the Bushnell LMSS2 or the Horus HoVR spotting scope? They have very similar specs and I am having a hard time picking between the two.

As far as I know after doing a lot of searching on the internet and YouTube, what I'm about to say I have done, has never been done before. On the other hand if it has I wish I would have found it long before now as it would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I've seen a lot about the new Ruger American Gen 2 rifles so I picked up a couple. The first is a 5.56 NATO Ranch that I installed a Timney single stage trigger in and then dropped the barreled action into a Magpul Hunter stock. The 5.56 has done well which leads to the topic at hand. I picked up the 20" 6.5 Grendel and decided to do the same thing to it only I installed the two stage Timney trigger in the 6.5 Grendel.

The initial Magpul stock was set up for STANAG magazines which wouldn't feed 100% reliably for nothing. Different magazines and even trying to adjust the feed lips of the magazine helped but wasn't a 100% fix. So, after doing some looking I discovered that MDT makes an AICS magazine for 6mm ARC/6.5 Grendel. I also after much to do was able to get the AICS magwell from Magpul. Getting the magwell and then getting it set up and installed so it would work was an absolute dumpster fire and there's no reason for it to be as difficult as it ended up being. My advice if you want to go the route I'm going to continue to explain, buy the Magpul AICS stock or the MDT LSS-XL Gen 2 AICS chassis.

After getting the magwell put together and filing off three tabs on the aluminum skeleton chassis in the Magpul stock I could then effectively use the MDT AICS magazines.

Initial testing was better than expected and got better as I continued to reload the magazine and cycle rounds through the action. There was still a hangup here and there which I was still less than pleased with. It was always the last round that would not feed reliably. Since I load 6.5 Grendel I decided to take advantage of the increased OAL the magazine will accommodate. I determined that a 123 gr ELD-M touched the lands at 2.368" OAL. I then loaded up a dummy round at 2.338" OAL, 0.030" off the lands. I then spent the next five minutes at least loading that dummy round in the magazine and then chamberig that dummy round. It works reliably now without fail.

The long story long of this is, this does work and does indeed improve the rifle. Is it worth it? I can only answer that for me and for me it's definitely worth it. Granted in the end with the magazines, trigger, stock, 20 MOA scope rail, rings, scope, scope level, Area 419 Hellfire brake (I despise radial brakes), I have effectively turned a $550 rifle into a $2,000+ rifle. The added good news though is it shoots various loads quite well and it's not even broke in yet. I'm looking forward to redeveloping loads being able to take advantage of the longer OAL the MDT magazines will accommodate. Hope this possibly helps someone figure out how to make their Ruger American 6.5 Grendel reliable.

Rifle: Springfield M1A Socom 16 cal 308
Purpose : Shooting to 200 yards Max

Rail is forward of the action

What scope would be most appropriate for this rifle?

Seemingly, the issue is how much eye relief do I need , and this data would narrow my choices.

Thanks for the help

I purchased this rifle new from Ashbury Ordnance back when they were making the Sniper’s Hide rifle. It started out as a Saber model.

Bought it as a hunting rifle and didn’t like the chassis for hunting. Put it in a Bergara HMR stock and sold the chassis.

I have the original box where the serial number on the box matches the rifle’s serial number.

Rifle shoots great with 130 and 123. Never tried any 140s.

Comes with what you see, and will ship in the original box. It has a Seekins 0 moa pic rail, and a threaded handle insert was installed. Has original factory trigger.

Putting the funds towards a custom build and priced to move at $650 shipped/insured.

Would really prefer to sell the chassis first in case nothing else sells, I can still use the rifle.

May consider trades but I’d really prefer to have cash plus a cheaper rifle. No magnums, no AR’s.

Up for sale is a very lightly used CNVD-LR. Got this from MH and have put all of 4 hours on the unit. Nothing wrong with it and performance was amazing when used on a 260. Night shooting property has gone tits up, so no use for the unit unfortunately. Comes with everything it did from MH except for thousand of dollars in price. $6800 OBO shipped and insured TYD

How much would a Geissele MK13 trigger fetch? Not the one for the 700, but one marked MK13?

Have this gently used B9R DS gen 2. Has the bull barrel now and improved trigger and rail. Comes with two mags, OEM case x300T, EPS Full Size 6moa and a level 2 retention holster from KT Mech in M81.

Approximately 800 rounds down the barrel, bought it for Limited Optics in USPSA but just not for me. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I currently reload bulk calibers (9mm, 45aarp, .223 and .308) on my Dillon 550. I am wading into the waters of 6GT and was curious if it is worth getting a single stage press to reload that on. If so, how does the RCBS Partner Press compare to the basic Hornady Lock and Load? My grandpa has the RCBS that he said I could have, but the Hornady can be found cheap and I like the idea of the quick swap bushings so I don't have to change stuff around every time.

I’m currently on Legend (recurring) charged to a CC (NOT PAYPAL). I want go down to a $200/year subscription.

I have tried a couple of times since the 10th to contact @alexj-12 about this. Nada.

It’s very weird this site doesn’t have an intuitive way to adjust one’s memebership?

I’ll get pics up tomorrow in the original post.

Up for sale is a complete (from the factory) SR-30 DSR. This has an SBR marked lower receiver and was purchased as a complete rifle. These are increasingly difficult to find.

I assume if you’re reading this you’re familiar with the DSR. Round count is sub 200. This is quickly becoming another “hard to find” appreciating KAC piece.

One sold on GunBroker last week for $17,025.

I am asking $16,250.

I am not a dealer and this is a two stamp rifle. I’d pay my half of stamps and purchaser would be on their own for their half.

Buyer pays shipping. PM for any questions. I would possibly consider partial trades for other cool kac stuff.

Let's try again as I didn't realize my supporters status hadn't gone through. I'm trying to find when this rifle was made and a value on it. It's from the Remington Custom Shop and the original case is marked as a 40-XS Rifle Only. It appears to be one of the early Remington 40-XS Tactical System 308 rifles but I can't find anything on value. It's got a McMillan stock and a 24 Inch stainless HB that is factory threaded with a factory muzzle brake. I've been able to find a couple of pictures of this rifle in 338 Lapua but nothing in 308. Any help on positive identification and a value would be appreciated. I apologize for the post earlier and honestly thought my supporter payment had went through. Thanks in advance.
