March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

Next month at the PRS Expo, March will have some pre-production models of the March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with turrets on which you can write your come-ups. This is intended for PRS shooters who can record their come-ups for the next stage right on the turret using a dry-erase marker, and not worry about remembering the numbers for each stage. Makes it much easier to set up. The riflescopes will also have the new PRS reticle, the FML-WBR.

You can view the riflescope here:

June 2025 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge Dates

Greetings fellow shooters from Topstraps Rimfire Challenge here in Eastern Ohio. This month the match dates are June 6th (Friday), 7th (Saturday) and 8th (Sunday). You can come anytime thru the day and it takes about an hour to shoot thru. There is a covered firing line and there are two benches so sometimes there is a wait for your turn to shoot. You have 3 days to pick from (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) starting at 8AM till 5PM or so. It takes about 100 rounds to shoot and about an hour to finish which is on the high end. Open bolts and chamber flags are a must and no handling of guns once they are leaned into the rack. Donation will be $20.00/entry this year.

I still think that ammo is the main deciding factor and the best way to come up with some type of classes. I've seen incredible scores shot with 60 year old target guns and poor scores shot with $7500 custom rifles. This year I think I'm going to go to three (3) classes and the winner of each class will receive a free entry the next match. The twist will be if a lower class shooter wins their class with a higher score than the class winners above them then the higher winners won't get a free entry. Example: Class C winner shoots a 79 and the Class B winner shoots a 78 and the Class A winner shoots an 80. The class A and Class C winners receives a free entry but the Class B winner does not. An incentive to compete occasionally with lower cost ammo for the challenge and to do well.

The three (3) classes of ammo will be C: $6.00/50 and under, B: Over $6.01 to $14.00 and A: Over $14.01 This may change and I don't have a complete list made up which would be hard to list each ammo but will base this on prices normally found at the online shops and not a sale item. I've sure everyone knows about where their ammo falls, also anyone with a tuner may use it but will jump you into the A class automatically. No Benchrest style front or rear rests. Bipods (even Rempel style) sandbags or an attached monopod are OK. Any scope/rifle combo is allowed but if you show up with a BR style gun shooting in C class you may get a shifty eyed sideways glance wondering what's up with this.

I've played with most of them and Yes they most definately do have a much better group at farther distances. A Class B ammo could possible compete with them as long as their dropped round is not on a small target but that's the gamble you take with the mid-range priced ammo. The lowest class is for those that are starting out, can't find or haven't tested better ammo but still wish to compete which is why I do this in the first place. Don't feel you can't come have fun and be competitive, you'll be shooting with others with similiar equipment.

Nearly everyone that shoots with us will offer any help they can, most will gladly let you look at their gun, scope, bipod and bags and let you try them out. You don't have to have top end stuff to come shoot and have fun. Plenty of you have kidded me about some of the stuff Chris and I shoot. I'm also going to have the peep sight targets up at each distance which are 4moa which is about the smallest you can see in the varying light conditions. If a stage has gamble targets for the scoped competitors the peep targets will also have a very challenging gamble higher point value target they can shoot at. Keeps both scoped and metallic sight competitors on their toes. Yes they may look bigger a little farther out but up close they are smaller and only one so it gets shot up quickly. If you think it's easy let me know and I'll have a gun there for you to try. The Peep targets do get rough to see thru the mid-day due to light and shadows so keep that in mind. Early or late are better times for that.

Pipe dream or possible? Any legal analyses?

So lots of talk last few days after the Heritage foundation discovered that the only document Biden signed as president was the one where he quit the race.

Every single other bill and executive order was signed with an auto pen.

As folks are saying, whoever controlled the auto pen controlled the presidency And people are coming forward to say that Biden didn’t remember signing things even days after they were signed.

So the chatter is all about whether auto pen signing of bills is actually legal. Or whether Biden‘s entire history of executive orders and signing legislation is vacated.

I suspect it’s a Supreme Court question. Or is it? What’s the precedent? What’s the law? If it says the president has to sign bills for them to become law. If the president doesn’t sign it then how can an order or piece of legislation be valid?

Somehow, I think overturning an entire presidency might get a little bit weird constitutionally. Then again that’s what the constitution is for!!

Does an auto pen controlled by someone who is not the president suffice for executive orders, pardons and Bills?

Is there a precedent? For example, when Woodrow Wilson was president following his stroke, his wife pretty much ran the presidency. Does that constitute a precedent that would allow Jill or some staffer to use the auto pen?

Love to know what our legal minds think!!

LMT Barrel conversion review and accuracy report, before conversion vs. after D Wilson conversion

I'm going to post a quick review, as I was unable to find much information relating to LMT barrel conversion accuracy, specifically relating to how a barrel performed before sending it to D Wilson for conversion versus post conversion results.

I'm happy to say accuracy seems unchanged following the barrel conversion, which is to say it is very good.

I used the exact same ammunition, loaded on the same day with the same lots of components. This is hand loaded 77 grain Sierra match king, but other ammunition from AAC produced repeatable results as well. All groups were 10 rounds fired at 100 yards.

The barrel I'm focusing on today is a 16" Bartlein 223 from Craddock Precision. Prior to sending it off, I fired this group from a mocked up traditional AR upper:

I just came back inside from firing this group post D Wilson conversion:
Screenshot_20250309_155253_Gallery.jpg

That high shot was my first round, some of that might have been me, dealing with 20-30 mph wind and I'm not necessarily a precision shooter. That said, I'm very pleased with the results. I wanted to document my very unscientific findings, just in case anyone was curious.
