Another rifle takes it to 1000

I finally had a chance to push it to 1000, I verified at 500 and 600 and everything was looking very good.
I wish the groups looked a little better but humbled, I had impacts on my first volley and before it got dark this was my next two group attempts. The wind to no wind at 3:00 made it interesting with 2.25 mils of spin drift when it got calm and then a breeze
6 mph to calm at 3:00

99.1 mils of vertical
Max ordinance 103’
22 LR with Lapua center x

Sidearms & Scatterguns Semi drop holster

I’m looking for a retention holster with just enough drop to clear the belt on a backpack. This is for hunting. I don’t really want to go full drop leg with a strap. Pistol is a Glock 17, it will have a red dot.

So far the only thing I’ve found is the G-code XSR holster with the GCA30 RTI Mount. Does anyone have experience with this combination?

I’m also open to other suggestions.

Thanks.

SOLD BE Meyers MAWL X1

Selling MAWL X1 $3,700 OBO
DOM: 11/2020 FDE
These MIL units are unicorns especially this clean. Output is crazy. The finish, lenses, buttons, and illuminator are spotless. This has the stacked divergences, EC2 end cap, and removable propeller cap. I'm selling because she doesn't play well with my Photonis tubes. There's no "alt mode" on the mil units like the c1+ has. Not looking for trades but I'll consider some NVG related items. HMU with any questions

Low Tech or Ancient Weapons

I must admit that I've had a fascination with ancient weaponry. The ingenuity, on the other hand, used by ancient peoples to hunt wild game or dispatch their enemies with very little material to get the job done is amazing.

Also used in survival situations and where firearms are prohibited and unaffordable, ancient or low-tech weapons come into play.

I've played around with traditional archery as well as modern compound bows. The compound bows were all sold off. They were too complex for me to use and maintain. So I have a couple older recurve crossbows, longbows and recuves.

So traditional archery for my hunting is as low tech as far as I've "regressed." On the other hand, I've used a baseball bat as a weapon before in self-defense situations. It also works as a deterent!

So I'd like to start a thread on ancient or low tech weapons. I'll start first.

The spear has fascinated me but I really suck at throwing them. Lynn Thompson at Cold Steel has produced some affordable spears. The two latest that I've acquired are the American Hunting Spear and the Maasai Spear. The second is the most badass spear that I've seen yet.

The American Hunting Spear could not be any simpler. All you need to do is purchase the head then get a shovel handle. I did a little filing and sanding for a better fit. Then applied some stain an Tru-Oil.

Anyone have a contact with HSL Ammo?

I ordered 500 rounds of 77gr HPBT ammo from https://hslammo.com/ - they have good prices, and they ship to MA.

First time everything went through fine. The ammo maybe wasn't just as good as defender but it was really really good for sub 60 cents a round and plenty accurate.

I ordered another 500 round pack and it went missing with fedex.

Initially I contacted HSL and they said they were going to look into the missing shipment and they were going to ship me another 500 round box. It seemed like they were really ontop of things and were the kind of company you wated to work with.

Its now been 2 weeks since they told me they were going to ship a replacement and they have stopped answering the phone or responding to emails. I have left a ton of voice messages and sent a few emails. No response.

I'm not sure what else to do but warn everyone else.

Rifle Scopes How does the xrs3 compare with optika 6?

Looking for opinions from people that have looked through both. Considering how much the XRS3 has come down in price, I’m curious to see if it’s better or worse. Mainly wondering about optical features. I have found the XRS to be pretty bad above 22x or so. I’m open to other comparisons as well.

It would go on a Grendel that’s is used for target out 600 yards and occasional hunting out to 200 yards, just trying to see if there is anything else worth it in that price range over the XRS3. I have looked through a mark5 and liked it but I didn’t find it better than the XRS. The XTR3 looked meh compared to XRS3. The p4xi 4-16 is definitely a step down compared to the XRS. Thank you for your time.

Carrying a folding knife in a pocket? Instant solution for protecting your pockets and making access to the knife faster.

So, like most people here are doing, you are carrying a folding knife as part of your regular EDC, right? Doesn't matter if they are passive swivel types, slick assisted openers, or automatics, they are simply the best choice for complete concealability.

Yeah, yeah, I get it. They have belt clips built into them. But the clips on many models, even high end knives, are not exactly reliable on the long run and I know many people who have lost knives and flashlights relying on the clip alone. One of my fellow contractors had his brand new Fenix PD35 TAC light wiggle loose from it's clip and drop over 3 stories from a rooftop HVAC unit we were working on and it's headcase shatter completely. He ordered a new one and I reminded him to get a Fenix hardshell holster for it as well. I actually gave him one of mine because I have a shitload of them and it doesn't hurt to have a few extras on standby... And clips still stand out and anybody trying really hard will notice that you are carrying a knife.

Pockets, especially dominant hand side pants pockets, are the best way to carry a folder for fast deployment if need be. But that presents it's own set of problems. One, a heavy duty folder continuously riding around in your pocket is going to wear a hole right through them after a while. And two, they are loose inside, which means they can settle horizontally into the bottom of your pocket and that makes reaching for it a bit awkward, especially if your work pants have just been freshly laundered and are a bit tight.

Well, that is not a problem anymore.

INTRODUCING: THE REVOLUTIONARY POCKET PROTECTOR. Nah, just kidding. It is just an ordinary faux-leather smartphone and passport/ID top opening wallet that you can get at any discount store. Remove any of the partitions inside normally set aside for IDs and such because you are not using it as an ID case, shear off any top straps if they have any. Then take one of those cheapo nylon drawstring bookbags, cut a nice big piece of fabric out of it, fold it up tight and press it into the bottom of the "holster" to beef up the bottom a bit, and now you got a perfect inside the pants pocket carrier for your heavy duty knife.

The carrier keeps your pockets from wearing out. No more ruined work pants.

The additional bulk of the carrier expands your pocket a bit, and makes reaching into it much easier too.

The added tension and smaller space in the carrier also keeps that folder upright all the time with the swivel end down. You can be assured that thing is always in the position for instant drawing.

And on top of all that, these things are cheap. If they get buffed up and worn to tatters over time, simply get a new one...

This is my SOG Seal XR, a beast of a folding combat knife, inside my ad hoc pocket carrier which is around $2.50 or so and takes about 2 minutes to modify.

New to 308

I'm new to the 308 cartridge and am a little confused on barrel twist rates for it. I am in the process of building a M40 clone for the CMP Vintage Sniper Matches and would like to know what is the best barrel twist rate for 308. So I'm looking for your experience, opinions and facts on twist rate for this cartridge.
Thanks in advance

Adams Drops Out

“Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,” Adams says in the video. “The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign.”

Adams told New Yorkers that he hopes they “will see that despite the headlines and the innuendo, I always put you before me.” He also urged whoever wins the race to “continue the work we started, lowering the cost of living, investing in quality of life and staying laser-focused on reducing crime and disorder through investments in policing, mental health, substance abuse care, homelessness services and community-based initiatives.”
