Winchester mod70 30/06

I may be getting an early 70’s Model 70 in 30-06. It has scope blocks on the barrel and just in front of the receiver as well as what I think is a peep sight bracket on the left hand side of the receiver.
I was thinking of making it a white feather Carlos H. Build. What scopes would you recommend for this old rifle? Anyone here have a Mod70 that you can post some pics so I can get ideas. Thank you!

Hensoldt Spotter

This image shows what I believe is an older Hensoldt spotter made by/with Zeiss.
The current catalog shows what I believe is a newer model but I can’t find any purchase information for the USA?
I currently have a Leica 85mm with angled eyepiece for bench rest but I want a straight eyepiece for my spotter.
Any assistance appreciated

This is what is rocking & shocking the EPG world.

The grid is now dangerously closer to collapse than ever before in history, and these things can being built far, far, faster than any base load plant.
Simple ones & zeros at speeds demanded, with smaller & smaller footprints, are going to cause major issues sooner than expected.

I'm back from a vacation here- looking for some input on 1911 assembly/disassembly nuances...

As a quick disclaimer- I've got more 1911's than any sane person should own. Primarily my collection consists of mostly Colts and also has a good representation of Ed Brown's, Dan Wesson's, Les Baer's and a Tisas's thrown into the mix.

I say that only as a reference point that I'm far from "new" to the 1911 pistols. That said- I have one (and just one) that's "acting" unusually for me & within my self proclaimed "vast" experiences.

On to the behavior I'm trying to diagnose- I have a recently purchased Colt Mark IV Series 70 that's completely stock internally at this point but does have aftermarket "medallion" walnut grips. So that's what I'm working with here.

The "behavior" that's screwing me up is that while assembling/disassembling it the slide locks up after relieving recoil spring tension by first taking out the recoil spring plunger. And I mean it locks up completely.

I'm 100% certain after playing around with it at this point is the barrel is moving... ("out of battery" doesn't sound right given the assembly/disassembly process but it's absolutely the barrel "moving" and that's how I was able to work through this to get it both taken apart & put back together.

So I figured out "what" is happening and "how" to work through it, but for the life of me I can't figure out the "why" this is happening. I have way more 1911's than Snow White had dwarves but this is the 1st time I'm seeing this.

Could it be the link size causing this?

Again- I've got her taken apart & put back together but this is the first time I've run across this... "eccentricy" Has anyone else seen this?

Firearms Critter Killer/competition compact 223

Had this built a few years ago with intent of a compact Coyote/223 class competition rifle. This thingis insanely accurate and shockingly fast for a 17 inch barrel. Loves the 75 eld-m at 2930 fps. No pressure at that speed. Less than 400 rounds down the barrel, and I've kept a good log. Asking $3000 plus shipping for rifle and 100 pieces of Lapua brass. No scope or bipod, and I will not sell the barreled action or stock separately. Located near Ashland KY for a face to face sale, and I will also ship direct to your door if a resident of Ky. (Yes, thats legal for long guns in state)

Will sell with the Minox ZP5 with MR4 mil reticle and arc rings for $5200. Consider trades for collectible HK stuff, thermal scope with some warranty left, or partial for Desert tech SRSA2 barrels.

- super smooth Stiller Spectre 2 action
-hawk hill 7.5 twist barrel.finished at 17 inches, spiral fluted, threaded muzzle.
- manners mcs with mini chassis and henderson precision arca rail
-timney calvin elite single stage trigger

Reloading Equipment SAC Modular Alpha Dasher Die

Selling my Alpha Dasher die from SAC. This uses the modular bushings (not the Redding type).

Comes with a .265” and a .266” bushing and has the decapping expander mandrel installed.

Asking 350 shipped. What you see in the photo is what you get. I cannot find the shims. Selling because I sold my dasher and won’t be shooting matches for the foreseeable future. Can throw in a lock ring of some sort if so desired.

Zero Compromise ZCO 4-20x scope for a 18” SPR 5.56….

I have a good old 18” 5.56 SPR (Noveske barrel). Currently, I have a Kahles 3-18x50 sitting on top. The scope is great from 3-15x, but the eyebox narrows down significantly between 16-18x. I like to shoot with higher magnification for tight groups 100-300 yards. This is not for hitting man targets (like PRS competiitions) at 400-600 yards etc, but just for hobby shooting. I only have access to a 300 yards range at the moment, and I rarely have time to drive 2-3 hours on a weekend to longer ranges.

I wanted to buy something with a slightly larger eyebox and a little bit more top end magnification. The S&B 3-20 Ultrashort is an obvious answer, but even with a sale, they are still $4000-5000 depending upon what reticle you get from EuroOptic.

The ZCO 4-20x appeals to me with the larger diameter tube. Only downside is all the mounts I see are 1.5” high; there are no 1.7-1.93” high options I can find.

I guess another option would be a NX8 2.5-20x. I really liked the 5-25 Mark 5 Leupold I looked through (unlike previous generations), but it might be a little bit too long and big for an 18” AR-15 in 5.56.

Thoughts? For a point of reference, I own a 6-36 S&B, 1-8x S&B and Kahles 1-6x as well. I like Euro glass, and I like adjustable diopters, which makes it easy for me to adjust when I shoot with my glasses vs contacts. I am very sensitive to eyebox issues, hence my affinity for European glass over Leupold and Nightforce.

Happy Labor Day and thanks

Precision Rifle Gear MDT ACC Elite Full Length Bridge EOI

Hey ACC Elite owners. When I got my ACC I was frustrated that they didn’t offer a one piece top cover. To achieve fully enclosed forend, it requires purchasing 4x Bridges at $140 a pop, then modifying one of them for what results in a segmented half assed outcome anyway.

As such, I’ve been working on a one piece top cover for the ACC Elite with a very talented modeler who makes lots of other bits and pieces for the shooting community.

This is what we have come up with. One piece, square front, tapered rear, and a rebate in the top for grip tape. It’s since been priced up by a quality machine shop, but the price gets noticeably better once we get to 20 pieces.

As such, I just thought I’d put this out there as an EOI to see whether it’s worth doing. I started this project because I wanted one, but obviously wouldn’t be stuck with 19 spares ideally 😂

If we can get to 20, pricing should come in $150usd+ cheaper than the 4x small cover alternative - including dowels and screws. Hopefully sub 300usd (take advantage of that dogshit Aussie dollar). Shipping from me over in aus shouldn’t be too awful if it goes ahead.

Let me know your thoughts guys.

Danny

"Student Driver" stickers everywhere?

Something I've been seeing a lot more in the NOVA/MD/DC area are cars with "student driver" stickers whose occupants are definitely not student drivers. Typically have a shitload of anti-Trump/anti-US stickers and lots of pro-Biden/Harris, pro-Hamas, pro-Antifa, etc stickers. Sneaky way of self-identifying to other shitheads without being obvious to cops, conservatives, etc?
