All I would do is replace the Velcro for the Velcro brand type and add some 4D pads and you'd be set. Very good clones almost the real things, just way cheaper. Sell what you don't need (if applicable) for profit

Brand new, still in the shipping tube. Went with a different barrel, skip the 5-6 month wait time. .243/6mm Remington #13 contour 1:8” twist 21” blank $800 shipped

Shit the bed” threads. Seemed like there were multiple threads per week about various manufacturers product going tits up. I haven’t seen many in the last 2 years (so it seems) or more. Did the scopes suddenly become reliable and indestructible or it is still happening often enough that nobody cares anymore and just gets them replaced like when your TP runs out in the bathroom? Or is nobody shooting anymore?

This is my personal rifle that is an absolute laser. I know that I will regret selling the moment that I do. Out of the dozen or so Vudoo that I have owned, this one tops them all.

MCR built Vudoo 360 barreled action with a stainless 23“ Krieger 1.25 straight barrel 1:16 twist. 40 MOA rail, round bolt knob, will come with 5 mags as well. The action is slicker than greased owl sh!t on ice.

The bad news: If you miss, it wasn’t the gun.

$xxxx shipped and insured to your FFL. Payment via Paypal F&F, Venmo, or Zelle.





Some Test Center Groups with Center-X. Shot so well, I didn't need to test the more expensive stuff.

Once seen as a taboo word in American politics, socialism has experienced a notable resurgence, especially among young voters. Polls show that more than half of millennials and Gen Zers now view socialism favorably. Politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have transformed what was once a fringe ideology into a highly popular political movement.

Even more troubling, they’ve achieved this not through real policy solutions but by promoting a utopian fantasy rooted in grievance, entitlement, and historical ignorance.

Socialism is a system of “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” No truly socialist society has achieved a level of plenty or freedom comparable to America.

A Cato/YouGov survey conducted in March found that “62 percent of American adults under 30 say they hold favorable views of socialism.” Rasmussen Reports observed a similar sentiment this past May, with 50% of voters under 30 indicating they want a democratic socialist to win the next presidential election.
Why are so many young Americans falling for it?



To be clear, this movement isn’t rooted in careful study of history or economics. It’s fueled by emotion rather than reason. It thrives because too many young people have been raised to believe that discomfort equals injustice and that government is the answer to every problem.
Today’s young adults have grown up in a culture that promotes victimhood instead of resilience. From K-12 schools to college campuses, they have been taught that life is unfair, that capitalism is oppressive, and others—corporations, the wealthy, or “the system”—cause their struggles.




They’re told that if they can’t afford a house, it’s due to capitalism. If they have student debt, it’s because they’ve been “exploited.” If they feel anxious or unfulfilled, it must be because of inequality or climate change. In this worldview, personal responsibility is an afterthought, and government redistribution is viewed as the ultimate solution.
Enter socialism, stage left.



It’s no coincidence that today’s youth know more about TikTok trends than about the gulags of the Soviet Union or the starvation in Mao’s China. Schools have stopped teaching the harsh truths about socialism’s brutal legacy. Instead, they focus on sanitized stories about “equity,” “social justice,” and “collective good,” often blending them with moral superiority and “safe spaces” for those who are easily offended.
This isn’t just a failure of the education system; it’s a deliberate ideological project. Young people aren’t truly being educated. Instead, they’re being indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is the problem, not the answer.
Critics often point out economic issues like increasing student debt, rising housing costs, and stagnant wages as failures of capitalism. However, the irony is that many of these problems are actually made worse by government interference, not market forces.
A few generations ago, few, if any, students graduated with significant educational debt. A middle-class family lived in a home, had two cars, a stay-at-home mom, and could pay the bills as well as save.
The federal government subsidized student loans and drove up tuition costs. Local governments limit housing through zoning and regulations. Inflation? Blame the government’s focus on spending and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies.
Capitalism didn’t fail. It was undermined by bureaucrats, regulators, and central planners. Now, the same group that caused the problems claims they will fix them by increasing their own power. That’s not progress; it’s a power grab.
As we see with Big Pharma, the government creates the problem and then sells the cure, except that the solution is often worse than the original problem.
One of the left’s favorite tactics is pointing to countries like Sweden and Denmark as “proof” that socialism works. However, these countries are not socialist. They have capitalist economies with high taxes and generous welfare systems, supported by a strong work ethic, homogeneous populations, and increasingly strict immigration controls, factors the American left would never endorse.
In Denmark, the top marginal income tax rate is 55%. Additionally, there is a 25% VAT on nearly all goods and services. The high taxes on income and spending support generous welfare benefits, maternity leave, subsidized housing, and more.
Try replicating that model here, with our open borders, declining labor participation, and cultural fragmentation, and you’ll end up with Venezuela or Cuba, not Stockholm or Helsinki.
What’s most concerning is that socialism is no longer viewed as a radical idea. It has been rebranded and marketed to young people as kind, fair, and compassionate. But socialism, even in its “democratic” form, is fundamentally coercive. It expands government power, limits economic freedom, and suppresses dissent. History shows where it ultimately leads - shortages, stagnation, and government surveillance.
New York City could soon resemble Havana if residents elect Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor. Mamdani campaigned on a platform that included a “$30 minimum wage, tax hikes on businesses and the rich, and other policies like creating city-owned grocery stores and imposing a rent freeze for stabilized tenants.”
The left isn’t giving young people independence. It’s offering dependence with a smile—a life where the government pays your bills but also controls your future. Or as the World Economic Forum promises, “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”
The solution isn’t to shout, “communism bad” and walk away. It’s to engage, educate, and expose the lie. Conservatives must explain, clearly and confidently, why capitalism is the most moral and effective system ever devised. It rewards merit, encourages innovation, and protects freedom.
We also need to stop surrendering the culture war. This involves reforming education, fighting ideological bias in the media and universities, and encouraging young Americans to see themselves not as victims of the system, but as capable individuals responsible for their own future.
America’s future is at risk. Only 36% of Democrats feel extremely or very proud to be American, down from 80% a decade ago. Among young Americans, the Gen Zers, only 24% are proud to be American, compared to 32% who have little or no pride.
In contrast, 92% of Republicans are proud to be American, a number slightly higher than it was ten years ago.
Nature abhors a vacuum. When half the country hates America, they will gladly embrace something very un-American, namely, socialism.
Socialism flourishes when honesty is absent. Our duty is to speak the truth openly and confidently. Because if we don’t, we could soon live in a country where freedom isn’t the norm but the exception.

700 inlet M5 with mini chassis and Hawkins pic rail in front. Sendero profile $1100 shipped

Ok, have read the various ways to level scopes posted here.

The fundamental flaw I see as a machinist, is you need to know the bubble level itself is actually level when mounted or the tool you use is actually level

So I have a granite surface plate, its level within .0005 in 10 inches using a Starrett master level

I bought 2 US Optics scope cant levels (which BTW really suck and wont use them), 1 is fixed, the other swings out.

One was close, the other way off. The scope on my rifle was done by a pretty good gunsmith I'm told. He told me to level by the top turret, and thats making an assumption that point is even level. (and reading here says it may not be)

Using top of turret, its not level either (now I havent done the plumb bob verification yet)

So heres my question, I can lay my machinist level across the top of the rail, and level to that, but then thats making an assumption its level to the rail wedges themselves.

Or do I care if they differ, as long as reticle with a plumb bob aligns? And scope mounted bubble level is zero'd as well

TIA

Hawkins Tactical One Piece Scope Mount 34mm 1.27” -SOLD- $250 shipped. PP FF or add 4%

I built a .223 Rem about 18 months ago and it has been a great shooter. Once i found a load it likes, it can shoot .5 MOA all day. I use it for my F-TR matches with a consistent 197-198 out of 200 at both 600 and 800. The barrel now has appx 1500 rounds through it and still shooting as good as it did at 500 rounds.

When helping a friend figure out an issue with his barrel, i used my borescope to get some pictures of the inside of my barrel as an example. What i saw in my own barrel kinda took me by surprise. Below is a picture of my freebore with several “gouges”. Given that they are evenly spaced, i am assuming they are left over from the original reaming process. Just wondering if anyone has seen this before and can help me confirm and understand where the gouges came from. I am very cautious with my cleaning process and use a very effective bore guide. Again, this rifle/barrel shoots .5 MOA so it doesnt appear to be having any negative effect on accuracy.

Action is the Zermatt Origin
Barrel is the Criterion bull barrel chambered in .223 match. It is a prefit with barrel nut.

Another Harris I never use. Like new.

Would trade for/towards kestrel with AB, AB Fury, or other offers pretty open. TL3 or CDG Barrels, or other PRS gear.

Maybe this should be in the pit, but I thought it would be fun to amass all the stupid gun products we see, or maybe learn that they are not so stupid and they really have a use case.
