Need help with Meopta customer service

My meopta B1 15x took a dump this weekend during a match, it fogged up and now has double vision. I purchased it 4 years ago from camera land. I messaged Doug Sunday and he was awesome and responded to me the same day recommending I call Eric at meopta and gave he Eric’s phone number. I have call three times and left 2 messages and no response from Eric. Has anyone else tried to use the meopta warranty or another contact number I can try? I used the 1800 number.

Any help would be appreciated

.308 Bergara B14 HMR: Manufacturer's 10-rnd AICS mag wobble.

I hope this has not been covered elsewhere but I could not locate.

I have a Bergara B14 HMR .308 and two(2) 10-rnd AICS mags branded by/purchased from Bergara directly. They each have a significant amount of play (about 1/2"). When firing with a mostly full mag, they both drop out from the rifle. They have behaved this way since day 1. The 5-rnd from Bergara has zero play and no issues. Top half of 5 and 10-rnd mags also appear identical.

To anyone with this rifle - have you experienced a similar issue? I would like to purchase a different magazines - preferably PMAGS or other polymer - but another post described the Bergara's as a rebranded PMAG (although visually it does not appear to be the case. If I will have the same issue with a new magazine (Bergara or other) I'd rather not spend the money.

Let me know - thanks!

Double leg amputee- shot 11 times in the back

Login to view embedded media
I don’t know if we should laugh cry clap , take this like the Joker and say “why so serious?”

After flipping him out of his wheel chair , and seeing a knife , these bad ass hard core mother fuckers followed him down the side walk while he was stumping away at almost a snails pace and while talking to one another and to laugh after each shot
shoot this handicapped man in the back 11 times -
I guess this is the next “rush” when beating the old and weak gets common and boring .

I remember few years back the old amputee in the electric cart in LOWES , someone told the police he had a knife so they shot him 8-9 times in the back inside the stores entry way . And he did have a knife but wasn’t using got to attach anyone it was in the basket of the cart . And they went away for murder .

Wonder what’ll happen to these guys playing g run and gun with a free range amputee?

The guy presenting this video and case is a hard core anti cop anti white black nationalist- and they just pitched him a soft ball, waist high slow over the plate with the bases loaded .

Firearms Custom lightweight 7PRC Defiance+Proof+Manners

Selling a rifle I recently built, but decided I don’t need another lightweight rifle, so testing the waters.

Primarily looking for trades at this time, but since I have to put a price on it, $5250 shipped to your FFL.

Trade interests include AI, Cadex or MRAD rifle preferably in 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, 300 PRC or 338 LM.

Rifle build is as follows (not looking to split any parts of the rifle up, at this time)
-Defiance Classic LA Mag nitrided action (46 rounds on the action)
-Proof 22” 7PRC CF barrel w/ASR brake (round count is 46, barrel was properly broken in)
-Manners LRH stock w/mini chassis and forward pic rail
-Hawkins M5 DBM CIP+ bottom metal
-Timney HIT ST trigger
-Leupold VX6HD 4-24x52 w/Vortex Precision Rings

As it sits, the rifle weighs 9.2lbs. I shot a box of hornady Match through it (during break in and sight-in), the other 26 rounds were all handloads. It shoots the 180 Berger hybrids lights out. I attached a picture of the chrono data for my final/most accurate load. This would make one killer of a competition NRL hunter rifle.

Night Vision L3 Storm - AN PSQ 23

Up for sale is one of my PSQ 23s. Everything functions properly. The range finder was tested out to over a mile, and I confirmed the IR works as expected using a PVS 30. I was most recently running this on my mod 5, but for the cloners out there it’s “correct” for several setups including a mod 7, even an m40a6, etc… See attached pictures at the end.

The lenses do have some very fine scratches for full disclosure (see picture, this is how I received it and does not impact the range finder or lasers). Included is the pressure pad remote, as pictured.

$4,475 shipped via FedEx with a signature required. Let me know if you have any questions.

Is the SMASH 3000 Another Version of the Tracking Point?

This sighting system has been out for a few years now. This first article is from October 2022.

The Army is officially adopting a ‘guaranteed hit’ smart scope

This is the company that is producing the SMASH 3000. They don't have any purchasing information but I bet the device probably costs close to $10,000 or more.


This video is a little boring but shows the capability of the sighting system. The only downside that I can see is that they need to produce a version with night vision / thermal capability. Maybe the device is night vision compatible. I haven't read enough about it yet to know what its full potential is.

Using PMII 3-20x50 on TRG 22 and SP10 with QDP-4602 – viable plan?

Currently running a Schmidt & Bender PMII 3-20x50 on my Sako TRG 22 (6.5 Creedmoor) using a Spuhr ST-4701 (35 mm height, 7 MIL cant, direct to dovetail).

I recently bought a Seekins SP10 in .308 (18” barrel) and I’d like to run the same scope on both rifles.

I’m considering switching to a Spuhr QDP-4602 (34 mm tubering, 38 mm height, 6 MIL cant) and installing a low-profile 0 MOA Picatinny rail on the TRG.

That would let me swap the PMII between the two rifles using QD, and use marked zero offsets.



My questions:

1. Do you think this is a solid plan or would you recommend running two separate optics instead?

2. Is there any practical downside to the increased scope height on the TRG (from 35 mm to 43 mm centerline)?

3. Any experience with RTZ performance using QDP mounts across bolt and gas guns?

Appreciate any thoughts or feedback!

Paging BuffaloWinter, please pick up the White Courtesy Phone…

Interesting mag and configuration…

Loach pilot, probably late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s. Pic from random Facebook posting.

IMG_8046.jpeg


Some are saying this was a 30 round mag that some of the SF and aviation guys bought mail order from US. 30 round at mags. I know they have been available, if not issued.

Some are saying that these were “field conversions,” putting an AR feed lips on an AK mag to increase capacity (which seems unlikely as AR mags are aluminum and AK mags were steel (and some Bakelite/polymer).

Any insights? Also interesting Grenade launcher configuration. Like an early 203.

Anything you recognize? Or built?

And I considered it might be an AI image… but looks more like an old Kodachrome.

Cheers, Sirhr

Precision Rifle Gear Pfl338 3d printing goods

So I have been meaning to do this review for some time but life has been bonkers the last 6 months.

I wanted to highlight some of the products that @pfl338 makes that make my life easy easier.

He is a humble guy and shooting enthusiast who quietly makes awesome 3d printed products some that I have been using for several years.

If you have an AI you need to get one of his mag paddle releases. Anytime I play with another ai and it doesn't have that mag release I'm like ugh that sucks when trying to do a msg change. Yes I run it backwards as I prefer the smooth side to my finger sausage.

20250419_090637.jpg

20250419_090621.jpg


He makes a great trigger shoe as well. .

Lately been running his Garmin pic mount. Comes with a slot to store the Garmin mount screw.

20250419_090555.jpg


I also have been running his sled for single loading some really long 300 NM loads.
20250419_090604.jpg


He also makes my empty chamber indicator in orange that loads like a mag.

He also makes these awesome 8lb and 1lb powder funnels. They screw onto the jug so no more spilled retumbo. They also flip around and allow you to easily pour powder back into the jugs from the hopper.

Garand 150gr Ball Equivalent Load:

My load originally from the NRA Garand Rifle Reprint:

50.0gr IMR-4064

I use Rem or Win brass and FL resize, primer is any basic (Boxer) Large Rifle Primer.

HDY 150gr #3037 FMJBT (With cannelure) seated in proper alignment with the cannelure.

This is my source for Garand Enbloc Clips.

This is a very satisfactory Repro Garand Rifle Belt.

This load was recommended to me (168SMK) on the old site. I loaded up a bunch with 168SMK and 165SGK today, Will test tomorrow in my older M70 sporter and brand new Axis II XP.

Greg

PS This load proved outstanding in my M70 Sporter/light tactical rifle; three rounds into 2" at 250yd off a sandbag/bench. I have also loaded the same components, substituting the 165SGK, will test as time permits.

Finally had a good shooting day yesterday (Saturday), and rezeroed with the 165SGK load at 200yd. This is a very good load, at least as accurate as the 168SMK load.

Went back Tuesday and shot the 168gr SMK and 165gr SGK loads side by side. The SMK load patterned its five-group (very) slightly tighter and slightly higher and righter (within 2" each at 200) than the SGK load, which, while significant, is well within acceptable standards, especially since the POI shift is consistent and predictable. My Weaver Classic V-16 allows this to be visible and adaptable at 200yd on Shoot-n-See type targets.

Both loads handle wind very well at 200yd. I only quit because the wind was bouncing my targets around too much to aim at consistently

178 A-max/Lapua Brass/56.2gr H4350/Fed210 Primer good for 2700fps.

Went to book max 57.5 with no pressure but inconsistent results. Settled at lower node with decent velocity and hopefully nice long brass life.

BTW I have noticed that the Sierra load manual states H4831SC as accuracy load for the 30-06 and 150/155gr bullet. I have found the Sierra accuracy loads to be on point with some other cartridges but have never found anything of the sort listed across the internet. Anyone ever give this combination a shot?

Followup on the 168SMK/165SGK 48.1gr IMR-4064 load as of yesterday, 10/9/14.

Performed/attempted sight-in with Ruger 77 MK I and Axis II XP.

The Ruger is very happy with the load, 200yd sight-in distance prints within a 3" dot, 150yd 1-2" high, 100yd, essentially right on again.

The Axis II XP is not liking this load, nor a previous handload, nor Hornady 150gr American Whitetail. Everything is opening up to about 6"-8" at 200yd, and that's not acceptable.

I will need to go over the rifle for issues, but that's for the coming Spring; this coming Saturday is Gun Season Opening Day.

When I did the initial sight-in, I discovered the ring mounting and clamping screws were mushy tight, and secured them more positively; this could be related the issue.

Greg

PS After Action NY Southern Zone Opening W/E 9/15+16/14:

I still got skunked, but at least I got a shot at fast mover. No contact established.

Later, saw five deer moving fast at about 200yd in a drive, but had 4 drivers in the brush somewhere behind them, no shot taken.

Six hunters/six deer, three of them brown/down by my Son-in-Law. One by 91/30 7.62x54Rwith HDY 150gr SP Interlock 303 handloads, one by M77 MK I 30-06 with 165 SGK handloads, one by Mossie 500 12ga Slug. Both handloads performed quite well, both shots were closer in.

We went back to the vineyard and hunted the same spot driving to me, as Opening Day last Saturday; and what looked like the same two does popped out of the vines about 50yd away from the last time. Took the same shot as last time; and this time, we connected, but I didn't know that at the time. Deer disappeared into the woods, and I waited the requisite 5 minutes while I went over the area where the deer was when I shot. No hair, no blood were found.

I tracked into the disturbed leaves about 50yd, but no hair, no blood anywhere. One of our young hunters RDV'd with me, and he had me stay put and began tracking. About 20yd past where I had stopped he signaled blood. and began a stealthy track. About 60ys further. the blood trail ended and the snow and ruffled leaves got chaotic; after abput 10 minutes wasted trying to pick up more blood we all came back and decided to drive the woods from the opposite end. Toward the end of the drive a small doe popped out and was taken. We went back and redrove the area the small doe came from, found mine, and dispatched same.

Dressed out, we went back to the barn, hung and skinned the two doe. Hung, it appears mine was one of the bigger deer taken so far this year, buck or doe. Guys who know more about this estimated her at around 130lb.

The shot placement was abaft of ideal. The terminal performance was very good, but nearly all of the blood was internal. We were fortunate to have eventually harvested this doe. But venison is venison, and tracking further, and persisting in the search are the lessons of the day. That's eight deer down and five were finished off by my Son-in-Law, including my doe.

A good day.
