Hey all,

As title states, where are you buying calipers? I can go to Amazon and buy something & get it delivered the next day. However, with precision instruments, I would think buying straight from the manufacturer is best in order to avoid fakes.

I went to mitutoyo website and it seems like you can't buy straight from them. Is there a place you guys recommend I buy some of these?

Looking for a Terminus Zeus (QC preferred but not required) BA with .308 bolt face with steel barrel chambered in 6.5 CM. If anyone’s on the fence send me a PM.

If you don’t want to sell your action but have a spare QC steel barrel chambered in 6.5 CM I’d be interested in that as an alternative.

TIA

Hello All!

I’m in Washington state, I’ve enjoyed rifle shooting for a while, started hand loading a while ago. I’ve read probably thousands of your posts, and I decided to join.

I’ve got 2 new da keymo brakes one is the micro flash hider the other is their brake both 5/8x24 threads the adapter is new never been fired has a few cosmetic marks from the spanner wrench slipping a bit when taking off the can, just decided to keep my xeno setups since I have more mounts. Keymo adapter sold brakes left $65 each on the brakes

I’ve only heard good things about these scopes. Picked up a k624i on sale at EO, and both turrets were horribly misaligned. Sent it back for a replacement and now the second one has misaligned wind turret (top one works flawlessly)

Initially, I reset the zero stop on both turrets, trying to be as precise as possible, hoping that would fix it, but I guess there was just so much slop in the turrets that they would always end up in the middle of two markings anyway.

Pretty shocking in a scope of this price range and for what seems to be highly recommended option in the community. I understand this model has been discontinued. Is this a known defect with this model? It’s confusing cuz I know a lot of people have this scope, but I never heard anyone mention anything about that. This sucks because I may have gotten one of the last units available on this model, but the misalignment is a dealbreaker. I don’t want to upgrade to the k525 and am thoroughly pleased with all other aspects of the scope.

Just like the title says. They were used for a couple years on a scope that I have now sold. Sold for $75 shipped

ROUND 1 - Target / Bench Rifle

After 10-12 years of shooting aluminum chassis and stocks made with some sort of composite, I felt it was time to get back to wood.

Maintaining the form, fit, function of more modern stocks was important, but I wanted to gain the warmth, feel and beauty of wood.

I looked around and didn't see what I wanted, so I decided to make it myself.

The Process:
- Source curly maple blank
- Carve (rough pass) with router
- Contour and smooth (fine pass) with router
- Cut the inletting (action, bottom metal & barrel channel)

- Sand... there was a lot of sanding!

- Fit recoil pad with belt sander
- Add picatinney rail for bipod (drill and counter sink t-nuts)
- Drop in pillars (checking action/bm fit, alignment & feeding from magazine)
- Epoxy bed action & bottom metal


- Apply tung oil finish (2 coats cut 1:1 with mineral spirits for deeper penetration, 4 full coats)

The Results:

I wrote this a few hours ago. I thought this may be a good place to post it. Semper Fi.

I have my ar. Originally built 2010ish and been changing parts out to update it over time. Quad rail is now a strike mlok, comp switched for thunderbeast flash hider to ultra 7 Gen 1. Leupold mark ar 3-9 switched to vortex strike fire to nothing currently but going 2.5-15 direction.

Latest Pic. Vert grip gone, pic rail gone replaced by mdt arca rail this week, strike fire off on something else.


Currently has a 3lb timney competition single stage. Bought it without knowing much. Looking at going more 2 stage cause it would be nice to be able to touch the trigger and know I'm on without it going off.

What do you all use on your more precision type rigs?

Have done some searching in this forum but haven't seen much about some of the options. Triggertech duty vs competitive, timney targa short vs long, or any of the others.

Guess they did not learn the last time around.

As the title states looking for any of these sr25 models. Highly prefer unfired with test target. Unless it’s a delta of course. Let me know if you have anything.Thank you for your time.

-currently have a Defiance Deviant tactical XM in Left Hand but looking to buy a LH Anti or Anti-x (XM not XM plus)
-I already have cut MDT magazines and a XLR element 4.0 but trying to get lighter with the action and keep the rest

-let me know if you have one or know where to find one

Looking for an entry level thermal scope. Something like the I-Ray TL 25 384x288

Vortex Impact 4000

Like new condition and comes with everything as it did new.

This has only seen 2 range sessions and is in perfect condition.

If you are going to use Hodgdon powder I would recommend H1000 for barrels 26"+ and H4831sc for 24", Retumbo seems too slow.

Max for H1000 is going to be about 65.5 (start at 61) and with H4831sc max is about 62.5 (start at 58) with 180 class bullets, as always work up to these loads. Note that is in a long action with bullets seated long with 0.180" freebore. If you are in a short action with a shorter freebore then your max load and starting load should be less.

Trim to length for brass is 2.025"

26" long barrel
Brass: Nosler
Primer: CCI BR2
Powder: 65.5 H1000
Bullet: 180 Berger VLD jammed 0.010" into the lands 3.025" OAL 2960fps

24" long barrel
Brass: Nosler
Primer: CCI BR2
Powder: 62.5 H4831sc
Bullet: 180 Berger VLD jammed 0.010" into the lands 3.025" OAL

24" long barrel
Brass: Nosler
Primer: CCI BR2
Powder: 63.0 H4831sc
Bullet: 180 Berger Hybrid 3.060" OAL

I am in the process of building my first rifle and decided to go with a 7RSAUM. I am wondering what data people have on 168s. I need help to know what specs I should make my dummy rounds to. I am using Nosler brass and Berger hunting VLDs in 168. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

Brownells has sent notice to all that have Remington 7mm RSAUM brass on backorder that Remington is not going to supply this brass and all backorders are being cancelled. I spoke with Brownells and they say it is unknown if Remington will produce it at a future date but at this time Brownells has deemed it discontinued. The website still shows a "notify me when back in stock" option but Brownells says this will be removed.

Here is my 7 SAUM load:

180gr Berger Hybrid (which I point)
62.0gr of Retumbo
2.950" OAL
Fed primer
Nosler brass

In a short action, DBM rifle w/ a Krieger 9 twist, 26". Does 2900fps at the muzzle, SD 10-ish.

The pointed Hybrid increases the BC by ~5%, to 0.70 G1 BC.

Love the rifle, cartridge and projectile. Finished top 5 at ASC with it. Had a 3rd hit at 1960yds (still looking for a >2000yd hit). Absolutely pounds at a mile.

For guys looking for brass, Bullets.com has a good stock:

bullets.com/search?s=category%3abrass&s=cartridge:7mm+SAUM&o=1

Not cheap stuff, but the brass, loaded to moderate pressures, lasts a long time. In the long-run, get good stuff, take care of it, and you will get many many more hits than with cheap-o brass. Hits at long range all all about getting the ES/SD of MV down, and good brass is the quickest route to that outcome!

Wish I shot enough to drive that many rounds thru my rifles. I just don't have the time to get out that much. My 7 SAUM has 1000 rounds on it and it shoots great, no sign of wear. I don't abuse it however.

what are your thoughts on H1000 with 162 AMAX or 150LR Accubonds. My hunting rifle is a Crescent Customs 7SAUM with 25" #3 Bartlein. right now i am at 59g of h4350 with the 150LR AB = 3054fps

I would think H1000 would be a tad too slow for those lighter bullets. Folks get excellent results with H4831SC and the 162's but I've only shot 168's and heavier out of mine and since I have a bunch of H1000 that is what I use. Picked up some Retumbo recently to test as its burn rate is close to Reloder 25 which has yielded decent accuracy potential but I don't like the temperature shifts up here at 7500'! H1000 will certainly push the lighter bullets out but I think there are better powders for the lighter bullets.

Haven't been able to get my hands on H1000 so picked up some of IMR's new 7977, it's just above H1000 on the burn rate chart. Anyone done any testing with this? I've found some data for 7MM RM and was going to use the minimum for that as a starting point in my 7SAUM with 168 VLD Hunter and 180gr Hybrids.

An acquaintance has used this with great results in a 6.5 SAUM. Said his loads were identical to H1000. As always work up but his reports were that it was interchangeable for that caliber.

Just finished a 7mm SAUM build on a Tikka action. Pics and details on page 11 of Tikka T3 thread in Bolt Action sub forum.

27" Bartlein

Norma Case

RWS LR Primer

Berger 180gr Hybrid

COAL 2.950" (15 thou off the lands)

62.3 gr Retumbo/AR2225 (for aussies)

2900fps

Put 8 shots into .393" at 100 yards, bipod and rear bag off bench.

Shot a comp on weekend at 300, 400, 500 yards. Load appeared to work OK at these short distances

7mm SUAM will feed out of Accurate 308 AICS mags, mine have no front plate. I could fit 8 in a 10 round mag. No feed lips or other mods needed.

I'm in the beginning phase of a new build and I know I want a 7mm something , what kind of barrel life can I expect from a 7SAUM and what DBMs work best with this cartridge ? . I'm hoping the Alphas are GTG as I don't think they need any modifications .

Excuse me if this is the wrong section to post these questions but I want opinions from people with real experience using this cartridge .

Thanks !

love this cartridge...

26" barrel on a 700 short action...



168 vld

4831sc 60 gr

Rem 9 1/2M

2865 FPS

couldn't find the next node



180 Hybrid

H1000 64.0gr

CCI BR2

2895 fps

.75" groupings



180 Hybrid

Retumbo 65.3 gr

CCI BR2

2930 FPS

.65" MOA out to 1000 yards...



so alpha mags are the way to go...

1700 rounds down the barrel... and still holding under 3/4 moa consistently



what is the trick to building this on a Long Action?

Moving and came across this chassis that has been sitting in the back of the safe. First Gen XLR Envy REM700 SA with heavy buffer and stock. Will come with XLR folder, bag rider and a standard buffer tube if you want to run a different stock. Normal wear and tear mainly around the mag well and the castle but was ate up a bit but is still functional. The first 6 inches of the forend is pic the rest to the magwell is ARCA. 6lbs 14oz with the heavy buffer installed. $350TYD also would be interested in trades for a KRG bravo or similar.

Excellent condition. Barely used. Includes box and paperwork. $650 shipped. Paypal ok.

I also have a crown innovations gen 2 pic. Mount i can ship with the kestrel for an additional $40. Had this attached to the pic rail on the side of my spotter for a short while, and it works great. Swings out of the way when not in use.

New in factory box. Unfired Remington 700 American Hunter Limited Edition 6.5 Creedmoor, 5R rifling and threaded barrel.

Rifle is a Limited edition produced in 2019 in a collaboration between Remington and NRA American Hunter. 1500 rifles were to be produced, I assume all 1500 were made before Remington closed in 2020. This rifle is number 306 of 1500 as indicated by it's unique serial #.

$1280 plus actual shipping to your FFL.

Specifications
• Type: bolt-action centerfire rifle
• Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor
• Barrel: 20″; cold-hammer-forged, chrome-moly steel; 5R rifling, 5 grooves, 1:8″ RH twist; heavy contour w/fluting; ⅝x24 threaded muzzle w/cap

When looking for a ffp scope and not being able to put hands on them is there a way to tell how useful the reticle will be on various zoom ranges?

Let me try and explain better.

Will a Reticle thickness of .1 appear the same in a 3-15x scope and a 5-25x scope at say 8x?
Same reticle in both scopes. Just different zoom range.
