Barrett MRAD - Unintentional discharges

Within the last week posts about the Barrett MRAD MK22 having accidental discharges have been circulating. By way of example, here is one. Login to view embedded media
I became aware of the purported issue today while letting my FFL dealer I wanted to order an MRAD. The owner and several sales people alerted me to the MRAD MK22 unintentional discharge issue circulating around and wondered if there was any connection to Barrett Firearms being purchased by NIOA based in Australia (https://www.nioa.com.au/about).

What do any of you know about this?

Rifle Scopes PLXC 2.5-20×48

Is this thing even worth waiting for anymore?
Optics Planet has it advertised at $1999 (and have been estimating 13-22 days for about 3 months now) and I'm interested, but you can snag a preowned Mk5 3.6-18 or NF NX8 2.5-20 for around 1500 - 1600 bucks.

Any of you industry insiders doing T & E yet? I know it came out at SHOT and i heard they were projecting 3rd quarter, but so far, I haven't heard much and am starting to lose interest for a DMR optic.

Gunsmithing Thompson Center announces the acquisition of Green Mountain Barrels

Neat news today... Thompson Center Arms (which recently went 'back' into family ownership) has announced that it has acquired Green Mountain Barrels.

For precision stuff, I don't think GMB is a major player. But for AR's and certainly for the muzzle-loading world, they are a mainstay.

T/C has always been a great company and a great innovator. And for us muzzle-loader builders, GMB is a definite go-to.

Probably going to be a great marriage!

Cheers,

Rifle Scopes Seekins Ring Weight vs Spuhr

I need to put a VX6 2-12 on my hunting rifle and I am considering the 30mm Spuhr ISMS (4001) I have lying around.

Can anyone give feedback on the Seekins 4 screw ring weight?

According to Seekins website, as I read it...30mm 4 screw weighs in at 4oz each, for a total of 8oz.
I don't have a particularly accurate scale to weigh the Spuhr but again...according to Spuhr's website: 7.1oz.

Weight is a concern, which is why I ask. Can it be the Spuhr one piece weighs less than a pair of Seekins rings?
I didn't think I'd ever put a one piece mount on my deer rifle...

22GT load data

Starting this thread as there is no real data for the 22GT out of there. This will be a culmination of my data and hopefully others data that way we can have sort of a reference of powder choices and charge weights with given bullets, twist rates that work, etc.

This being said I am working with 3x fired OG Alpha 6GT brass necked down in a Whidden FL sizing die with a 0.249” bushing and then running a 0.222” SS expander mandrel through it for 2 thou neck tension.

Going to be running CCI 450’s, H4350, and 95gr SMK’s in a 6.5 twist kreiger barrel. Starting low at 33gr and working up to 35.7gr and will go higher if bullets stay together and speeds are good and lack of pressure. Planning on testing tomorrow through a brake since I don’t want to blow up bullets in my can.

I know folks are running 37gr of H4350 in a 6GT but didn’t want to start too high as this is my first time with a wild cat that has virtually no load data. Hopefully everything goes well and regardless I will be posting results tomorrow after the range day.

Firearms Thunderbeast TBAC .338 Ultra

TBAC .338 Ultra with Area419 adapter. $1,650 shipped/insured.

I’ve had this several years and put less than 50 combined rounds of .223 and 6.5 Grendel through it. I do not like recoil and don’t have access to long-range shooting locally, so have no plans for a large caliber rifle.

Might entertain trades for high end Binos, Sako/Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor + glass.

If you are in Louisiana and have good references, we might can get this in your hands sooner than later. PM me.
