African anti-rape device known as “Rape-aXe” via Twitter
Germany is grappling with a severe crisis in sexual violence, as evidenced by the latest Police Crime Statistics (PKS), which reported 13,320 cases of rape and sexual assault in 2024. Over the past five years, these offenses have surged by approximately 50 percent.
In response to this escalating threat, some experts are exploring unconventional “technical aids” to combat sexual violence. Sociologist Julia Wegen from Ravensburg-Weingarten University and Dr. Urs Schneider from the Fraunhofer Institute for Health Technology in Stuttgart have proposed a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a South African anti-rape device known as “Rape-aXe” as a potential deterrent.
Invented by Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, the device is a latex sheath inserted vaginally, featuring inward-facing barbs designed to embed into a perpetrator’s penis upon non-consensual penetration, requiring medical removal. Ehlers envisions it not only aiding in the apprehension of assailants but also facilitating a broader sociocultural shift to discourage such crimes.
Despite generating media attention in the past, the product remains scarce due to insufficient funding for large-scale production.
Dr. Schneider has distanced himself from direct involvement with Rape-aXe, clarifying in a statement: “We are not planning any Rape-aXe study, but want to look at technical assistance for protection against rape”. He acknowledged the South African model as one illustrative example of deterrent technology under consideration.
While no firm plans exist for implementing such devices as a widespread public safety measure, the discussion reveals a deeper reluctance among German authorities and experts to confront the primary driver behind the rise in sexual violence, unchecked mass immigration.
Official data from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) reveal that foreigners, comprising about 15 percent of the population, accounted for 41.8 percent of all crime suspects in 2024, with disproportionate involvement in violent offenses.
Asylum seekers, representing just 2.5 percent of residents, made up 13.1 percent of sexual assault suspects in recent years, while nearly half of gang-rape suspects in 2023 were non-Germans.
German authorities and experts must confront these root causes head-on through stringent immigration reforms, enhanced border controls, and integration programs that prioritize cultural compatibility and public safety. Protecting German women and upholding societal harmony demands nothing less, rather than resorting to gimmicky gadgets that merely treat symptoms while ignoring the underlying policy failures.

Hello,

Need some tech help/advice here.

I have some kind of oldschool .308 custom Rem700 build, scope is NF NXS 5.5-22x56 with "1.000 Ultralite rings & NF 20 moa base. Now it has perfect clearance between front Tenebraex lens cover on sunshade and heavy palma contour (about ~ 0.110) . Wanna refresh it & play with some NV devices and decided to get MARS rail, but have question about scope rings height compatibility. Is it enough 1.000 rings height for proper attachment of 56mm obj scope(with sunshade & tenebraex lens cover) or I need to order taller rings ? 1.125 or 1.250 ?

I appreciate any help, especially If you owner of beauties like M24A2/700USR/MK13MOD5 & can measure the gap between scope objective(sunshade) and MARS, and say your rings height.

Best,

Hey Everyone,
New to the precision rifle world. Got myself a Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex PST II 5-25x EBR-7C MRAD. Been browsing this site for a bit now and have actually purchased some of my items from the classifieds here already.

Saw this picture in the Q thread- looks like Sig wants a piece. Very close looking to the Q and maybe a but of Christensen Arms MPr. Thoughts or info?

Hey everyone,

I got a MARS, and the info sheet is pretty vague about zeroing/collimating the day optic and the WMLRF.

It says to use 100m, which I’m assuming 100y would be better if that’s what I’m shooting in. But beyond that it’s not really specific enough for my simple mind.

In using an Impact 4k previously it had the user measure HOB from the diving board and optical center line then essentially offsetting them (I think it was a 0.6 mil offset or something similar).

The MARS literature says nothing about that what so ever just. Just align the reticle with the vis laser at 100m, and aligning it with the range of engagement is even better. Kinda hilarious considering the device is for finding said range of engagement, but I digress.

Anyone have any advice or tips for how to maximize this things ability? It’s going on a field match rifle so the whole idea is less gear to mess with and accurate range and firing solutions as fast as possible.

Thank y’all.

Gonna upgrade my X-ray soon as I convert it to a kids 223

I want to upgrade the polymer forend to something better and I’ve narrowed down my choices to two primary choices. They are the same price and are similar in features. There is a 10oz weight difference with the krg being lighter. I don’t want a super heavy gun, but I want more rigidity than the polymer provides and I want an arca rail

Krg enclosed arca forend.
Vs
Vision krg forend

What’s the recommendation?

Wild west guns co pilot, custom order, 16", Kevlar stock/forend, 457 wwg/45-70/410.
Less than 50 rounds through it. Only flaw is some black paint has rubbed off the stock/forend from being strapped to a pack elk hunting. Can be recoated before I ship.

Will trade for:
Winchester m70 stainless super grade short action cals
NF atacr 1-8
Galil sar
Kac 14.5 556/762 uppers
Sr25 mags

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

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?

8 Duramag 15rd Magazines for 6mm Arc or 6.5G. They are the newer straight magazines. Brand new never used.

I can sell smaller amounts at $15 each, but prefer 3 at a time at least because of shipping cost since 3 will fit in a small flat rate. Offering a better deal selling all together though.

$100 shipped for all 8.

PayPal FF, Venmo or Zelle

Looking for competition side rails for matrix.
Lmk if u have some laying around

Middle one in the pic, ~1500rnds on it
Midlength, 1:7, noveske GB and tube. Never P or W’d.

(MD rocksett 15ftlb, GB red locktite 15inlbs, iykyk) shoots amazing with 77smk handloads. Switched this rifle to 6arc recently…

$200 tyd (all 3 barrels ship for $400 if you want a package deal)

Between 12-1500 rounds fired, true sub moa barrel with my 77smk handloads ~2650fps.
Larue OEM GB and Gas tube included.

Went shorter otherwise I’d keep it. Bottom one in the pic, if you need more details hit me up.
(MD rocksett and torque 15ftlb, GB screws red locktite 15in@b, iykyk…)

$200 tyd

Interested mostly in noise suppression and accuracy.

Would be used primarily on 9mm PCC and 350 Legend rifle.

Initially would also like to use on bolt action .30 caliber rifles (308 and 300 PRC) as well as a 6.5 Creed until I save up enough for a dedicated 30-caliber can.

Appreciate the feedback.

Will relist remaining items individually at a later date.

Streamlight TLR-7x. Like new, never used.

$100 shipped.

Up for sale is a Minox 5-25 LR. The reason I am selling it so that I can try the S3 Zeiss 6-36 scope. Asking b$1776.00 or Best offer.
