I'm thinking I want a new toy, something to play with during non-winter months. Purchase budget is $25k. Whatever the toy is, it should be an "outdoor" toy. I have/had motorcycles and it was like a default for "I don't want to be inside, what can I do outside?" However, I now need to replace motorcycles with something else.

For several years I've been saying "boat", as in a deep-V fishing boat, 17' to 20'. I used to kayak fish rather aggressively, probably 30 hours a week during the pandemic, so I do enjoy being on the water, and of course, fishing. Due to life happening, I'm not really able to kayak fish any longer, and subsequently haven't been fishing (shore fishing is lame). I'm looking at used Lund, Alumacraft, Crestliner and have several good options.

I've always liked cars, and have had a couple "fun" cars along the way; Porsche 944, MkV GTi with some light mods. But now only drive a soccer-mom grocery hauler. A couple of my friends are into cars, one is buying an M3 Competition and another has been poking me for years to buy a fun car. I found a 1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport for sale which would be cool, or I've thought about a BMW Z M-roadster and supercharging it. Or something along those lines, there's worlds of options.

I trust the Bear Pit for positive life advice and out of the box thinking, so whatcha got bear pit? Car, boat, or something I haven't thought of?

Firearms Accuracy International AXSA 6.5CM/308 WIN, Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 F1 MIL-XT, extras

Had some unexpected things come up, so unfortunately I need to move some guns.

-Accuracy International AXSA, 6.5 Creedmoor, 24" Barrel, Dark Earth Color.
-Accuracy International 26" 308 WIN barrel, Dark Earth Color.
-Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 F1, MIL-XT reticle
-Spuhr SP-4003B Mount
-RRS ARCA Forend adapter
-2 Extra AI Mags (3 total)
-Badger Ordnance ACI
-Harris S-BRM 6-9" Bipod, Larue picatinny mount, KMW Pod-Loc
-TBAC CB Brake on both barrels
-Armageddon Gear Sling

All items were purchased new and are less than a year old. 6.5 Creedmoor has exactly 180 rounds through it, 308 Win Barrel has exactly 175 rounds through it. Rifle will include both round count logs. Both properly broken in. Rifle has been shot from the bench and long range from a platform, no long strings of fire or competition use. Both barrels will shoot sub-.5 MOA with factory match ammo, if you put in the work, so will the rifle. Currently I am running factory Hornady 140 ELDM match in the 6.5 and some 175 SMK handholds in the 308.

Full setup - $9500 Shipped
Minus Optic/Mount - $6750 Shipped

from me to your FFL. I am not looking for any trades. I accept PayPal, Venmo, USPS MO, Cashapp, Bank Wire, or can meet F2F a reasonable distance in or around Douglas, GA. I WILL separate the rifle and optic, but the rifle has to sell first.

I don't have much feedback here on the Hide, but I have tons on other forums, such as AR15.com, AKfiles, Tacswap, etc.

2017 AI AXSA 6.5 Creedmoor Dark Earth

NO TRADES

They were supposed to open a 1K range locally but the plans have changed and I no longer need this guy, I have under 500 rounds through it and it like most AIs is amazing. The barrel is not the original, it came with a .308 barrel. I ordered the 24" factory 6.5CM barrel with the rifle.

Comes as shown Minus the Atlas.

If you need any specific pictures please let me know.

Tikka T1X

I know they are not out yet, but I'm looking forward to getting the details on it. Maybe the 455 has a little competition. You may not have a barrel that is super easy to replace, but MAYBE the barrels on these will be as good as Tikka's centerfire rifles and negate the need to replace it. None the less I'm looking forward to it!

Post up any real intel you may have!!

So long, Norm!

George Wendt died today. His lines, and Cliff were the only funny thing about "Cheers". I was a kid in the 80's and two Norm lines stick out for me.

"What are you up to Norm?"
"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."

"How's it going Norm?"
"It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing milk bone underwear. "


Recap of the URSA 3000 Yard Challenge (2025)

May 20, 2025 - Recap of the URSA 3000 Yard Challenge (2025) (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info and notes from Oscar)

Shooters, we finally got the opportunity to shoot the annual 3K match and started shooting at 2600 yds. The wind started out good but quickly went to 20+ mph.

I managed to draw the first starting position and with relatively light conditions managed to get 5 hits on our 37" circular gong for the win.

Runner up went to Doug Pulver who shot last in the shooting order and, naturally, he had the most wind to overcome. He was also shooting a borrowed gun (mine) after the barrel on his 33XC went south at our last match.

With only one shooter getting the required min of 4 in 10, the match ended.

A big Thank You to all the qualifiers.

Lynn - and Doug, borrowing Lynn's rifle and ammo - were shooting 390 gr Hornady A-tips out of Lynn's Billy Goat Machine-built .375 CT with Stiller 1.600 TAC DRIVER action, Lothar-Walther 36" barrel, McMillan HBR stock w/ tracking rails and barrel block, March 5-42x56 High Master wide-angle scope in Burris rings w/ 40 MOA inserts on a Mirage ULR 70 MOA rail.

6arc bolt gun

If you were building a 6arc bolt gun, what barrel length and twist rate would you go for on a dedicated coyote rifle? Majority of my shots are 80 to 150, i don’t think I’ll ever be able to shoot past 300 in my area.

Is there any good factory ammunition? I llike to keep the nicer pelts so big holes aren’t desired.

I won a custom bolt action rifle and I’m drawn to the 6arc (and 22creed)

Accessories Free Night Force ELR match spot

I am not going to the match this year but have a spot for it. I am willing to give this to someone who is wanting to attend but missed out on the sign up. I am not wanting to give this to anyone who is not going to use it or is going to try and sell it. My requirements would be to pay me for the spot now ($310) and when you finish the match and your name shows up on the results I will refund your money in full. I don't care how you do in the match just that you attend and shoot it.
