Ok... call me a homo! Yes I'm picking on myself! I should be able to figure this out but for whatever reason it's kicking my butt!

So, I shot the M40A1 today and wanted to fine tune the zero a little more as well as set the focus etc... after shooting it at my 117-yard target I then went to the steel plate at 430 yards. If I get the chance, I might be able to shoot the rifle in a vintage sniper rifle match in early Dec. out in MT. That match is shot at 300, 385 and 500 yards. So, I want to lock in the parallax/focus on the objective. Here is where it is at... but how do I lock it in without it moving on me? You can see the gap at the very front of the ring and behind the larger diameter ring.



This was my last group for getting a final zero on it at 117 yards. Yes... I was a homo on that high round. Probably too much time playing with all the adjustments and just blew it. More I think about it I didn’t blow it. I did bring the zero down on the scope with the allen wrench and locked it in. I needed about 1.5” down and tried to move it about 1 minute… I think I got it right! Only needed one windage adjustment after my bore sight job and first sighter…never touched the windage dial after that. So the scope is tracking and holding zero!



So happy with the 117 yard zero... I moved the elevation dial to 4 and initially moved the fine tune adjustment up 1 click also but knowing the 169smk have a higher bc than the old 173gr bullets and even more than 175smk... I decided to take the 1 click off the fine adjustment. On top of all that for the most part I've been having a tail wind mostly speed wise from 6-11mph. Glad I took that fine adjustment click off.


So, for 37 rounds down the barrel... I'm digging it! Average velocity is coming in at 2687fps. No need to run it any faster.

So, thoughts on locking in the objective ring without moving the whole set up please.

I mainly shoot CF but I will shoot more .22 during the hot months. I recently sold my Tikka T1x which was good, but inconsistent. I typically shoot good ammo in 10-shot groups at 100. The Tikka was in the 1.25-2.25" average w/occasional sub MOA but also some over 3" so it had to go. My price range is max 2500. Eurooptic has a decent selection of Vudoo and Anschutz. The MTR would be my second CZ (600 range in .308). I'm strictly a paper puncher but I want to stretch out to 400. I have stockpiled 10-x and some good Lapua along with the usual suspects, SK match and the like. The Lilja site has 457 for under 600 so the CZ would come in around 1500. What say you? Thanks for the input.

Recently, I've seen a lot of our fellow "Bear Pitters" kvetch a lot about all the $$$ going to aid The Ukraine. Just so that I confirm my understanding of the issues, I have a couple of questions:

1) Main concern - Is the issue that we should be spending those $$$ for US concerns and not "foreign" ones (i.e. "America First"), or is it deeper than that?

2) Why did the Biden Administration put so much of our $$$ into Ukraine spending? Were they getting some kind of Payola/Graft in return? Was Hunter getting his "10% for the 'Big Guy' or something?" Were they counting on USA based Ukrainians to help them win in an election? Or, perhaps, was it simply to support a group of people that opposed Putin & the Russians? I guess I just can't wrap my head around why the Biden clan was so adamant about sending all our $$$ over there. How did it benefit them?

While at my outdoor range, if the line is not crowded and no one is shooting rapid fire, I have the tendency to flip my ear protection up so it's resting above my ears to give myself a little break from the muffled hearing. I'll do this when letting the gun cool, messing around in my bag or trunk, or just stepping away to drink some water or glance at my phone. 2 weeks ago, and again today, I made the same dumb mistake. After taking a break, I sit back down, load a round, scope in, take my time, breath, fire, and BAM! Holy shit.. when you're cheek is to the gun and you pull that trigger not realizing you left your ear protection on the top of your head - it wakes you the fuck up!. 2 weeks ago I was with a friend, he was standing next to me and as soon as I fired that shot I instantly put the gun on the table and stood right up. For 5 seconds I was deaf and the ringing was so loud. Happened again today on the 200yd. It pierced right through from right ear to left, then loud ringing. As soon as it goes off you think, why did it sound that way, then the ringing and then you realize just how loud it was.

Not a very high powered gun, 6.5 CM bolt with a brake. But man, catching that unexpectedly with your face that close to the action is a terrible feeling.

Anyone else ever make this stupid mistake? Twice in the span of 2 weeks. Won't be surprised if I just fucked my ears up from that.

In my quest to find a good alternative to XBR-8208 (because it's never available) for my 77 TMK loads, I got 1 lb of N540 to try out. Do any of you guys have experience with this powder using heavier bullets in 223/5.56 loads?

I have used several other popular powders in my search for an XBR alternate, including Varget (too slow), TAC (not accurate enough), Staball Match (too slow), AR Comp (it's awesome but I'm allergic to it... ) and a few more that I'm forgetting at the moment.

Thanks,

Has anyone had any experience with their Rim X bolt knob making contact on a MDT chassis? It doesn’t seem to be causing any issues with function I just thought it was strange that it would be making contact. I assembled and torqued everything to spec.

Brand new aero precision bolt action (action only). Not the lightweight model, this is the OG, I bought it when they first came out and just never got to this project. Looking to utilize funds elsewhere.

Long story short, after a long career of almost 23 years, my own Windows Server 2003 machine died (hardware death) on Easter Sunday of all days! And so did my DHCP, DNS and Active Directory servers as a result. I was in the process of building a brand new "Ubuntu Server" (Linux based) so I finished that quickly and installed both a DHCP and DNS server. It seems to work well.

The problem is, my Windows client machines won't accept DNS services from the Ubuntu server. It keeps trying to "Autoconfigure" an IP stack that gets me nowhere. All kinds of problems. So, what I do now is use the DHCP part of it and then enter DNS settings manually. At first, I tried dns.google.com (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4). It's quicker than most others. But BEWARE!

Google DNS appears to be tracking your URLs/Links more closely than normal. I went to YouTube, clicked on a video, and then it forced me to "Log in" to a Google account to watch the video. Not because it had adult, mature or violent content, etc. or whatever, but just simply "to prove I'm not a BOT." That's right. Just to prove I'm "not a BOT." And it required that for every video on which I clicked. Normally, I don't log in to Google to use YouTube (so it can't track me or tie my views to my account). When I changed to a different DNS provider, and went back to the same YouTube page (without even closing it), the videos played fine when I clicked on them.

I'm not saying that Google (via YouTube) isn't tracking me in other way (via the WAN IP, etc.), but at least they can't link what I watch to a Google Acct.

CAVEAT YouTube watchers!

The MDT shooting bags have arrived! The Grand Old Cannister, the Traveler, and the Peanut. https://mdttac.com/shooting-bags/

My first nice scope.
As I understand it, but please correct if wrong, NF is more durable, and possibly better glass?

Gun: .308 bolt action bergara B14 HMR, 20" heavy barrel.
Use: Steel, out to 1000, max. paper groups inside 500

For guys that dial wind, do you prefer to have the windage knob on your shooting hand (Right side) or do you better like the ability to see where your wind is at from your non-dominant eye, right in front of you, without breaking your cheek weld?

Question about the Mil-R: Does the 2 mil center bracket work as a fast aiming solution on low-ish power at closer ranges? My thinking is, don't even look at the center cross, just bracket an ipsc silouette inside the box and go, like an Eotech but square. Is that how people use it?

Also for sale is the same NF in Mil-XT (for $200 more). Something about the dots just turn me off because in pictures it appears to wash out behind a wooded area. Hashes just make sense to my eyes. On that subject, do any of you have good success using wind+elevation holds without a tree?

Original mid to late '60s vintage Remington 40X action, factory clip slotted, parkerized and U S. marked. Original 40X trigger & 7.62 NATO marked recoil lug

Douglas 24" stainless M40 contour barrel, 10 twist & 6 groove, less than 200 rounds of factory FGMM 175 & T308T 168 through it. Chambered & marked 7.62 NATO. Barrel, bottom metal & buttplate finished in Brownells Aluma Hyde II Dark Parkerized finish (one light spot in finish on front of trigger guard but didn't bother me enough to respray it)

Beever156 stock sanded down to closer to original specs, correct original Remington aluminum buttplate, went with Grov-tec swivels to be able to run a bipod if desired. Stock is not bedded, fit is super tight and shoots great. Up to new owner if they want to bed it or not. Has later BDL bottom metal with follower modified to USMC spec to fit 5 rounds in the internal magazine.

Redfield 3-9X40 Accurange with correct 600yd "Tombstone" reticle, commercial model in gloss black, very good condition mounted in correct "1-64" marked Redfield rings and later SA700 Redfield Jr base.

Will ship in an original green Protecto Kaddy case with an original "Jan '65" marked OD green web sling.

I really hate to sell but due to working night shifts every weekend I probably won't get a chance to use it for CMP Vintage Sniper competition like I originally planned. On that subject I have the email from the CMP match director stating the 40X marked original actions and this rifle build is legal for the Vietnam Era Sniper matches I can forward to purchaser if desired. (Rules state Remington 700 marked actions only but I wanted clarification on that to be sure)
