Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

It seems as though at least a few of us share a second addiction of chainsaws, log splitters (thanks to you wonderfully generous deplorables), firewood hoarding and stacking, and in general just making trees our bitches.

tnichols and I are both on at least one other forum specific to this field, but like us with precision rifles, the guys over there are maniacs for this shit. You can't ask a simple chainsaw question without the general consensus instantly being that you have to have a custom-built pro saw ( and many of them) for every application. I figured there might be some fun in those of us who don't make a daily living at it (with the possible exception of oneshot86 earning his Natty Light money) just sharing some knowledge and pictures of our setups.

I'm also WAY overdue in following up on Splitzilla's status, so this is as good a place as any.

I know we've got pics related to this spread all over "what's my view" and a few other threads, but feel free to duplicate / consolidate them here as you see fit.

So come on 1J04 , MtnCreek MontanaMarine , vh20 , sirhrmechanic, Tucker301 , and all the folks I've seen post up homestead pics, but apologetically can't remember all the user names. Show Off Your Wood!!!!

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

Long post if you care to read

Summary = This thing is freaking rocks 🤙

I had the privilege of testing the new March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS edition over the weekend, and I wanted to share my experience with you. Upon arrival at TX Precision for a train-up day, I was immediately handed the March PRS Gen II for evaluation. My initial impressions were overwhelmingly positive.

I decided I would mount this scope in a spare mount I had with me. After ensuring my zero with my existing optic was accurate, I encountered significant mirage issues due to the conditions of the day. This is where the March PRS Gen 2 truly stood out. Upon comparing it side by side with my current setup, the difference was night and day. The March scope cut through the mirage effortlessly, even at full power, which was a game-changer for me. In a move I would normally consider too risky, especially before a match, I decided to switch my perfectly zeroed optic for the March.

Remarkably, it only took two shots to re-zero. The real test came when I aimed at a target approximately 775 yards away. Despite the challenging conditions and my initial apprehension, the clarity and performance of the March PRS Gen 2 were undeniable. NO WAY would I have been able to see exactly where I was hitting with my previous optic in that mirage without freshly painted targets. The March made this as if you were shooting in perfect conditions on a partially cloudy day. To say I am impressed is an understatement.

In summary, the March PRS Gen 2 exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Its ability to perform under challenging conditions has made a significant impression on me. The field of view and real usable magnification range is second to none. It's everything you want in a scope and nothing you don't need. From the reticle (FML-WBR) to the markable turrets (no more stickers that dont line up), this thing is a home run! I watched more bullets hit targets than ever before, especially given the conditions we were faced with over the weekend.

If you don't know who March is... You will! I expect this scope will take over a huge portion of the PRS market. You don't have to take my word for it. Next stop is the OKIE SHOWDOWN. Find me and get behind it... Seeing is believing!!!

This is going to be a game changer for you rimfire guys too… The clarity of this scope is unmatched!

Precision Rifle Gear MDT ACC Elite Full Length Bridge EOI

Hey ACC Elite owners. When I got my ACC I was frustrated that they didn’t offer a one piece top cover. To achieve fully enclosed forend, it requires purchasing 4x Bridges at $140 a pop, then modifying one of them for what results in a segmented half assed outcome anyway.

As such, I’ve been working on a one piece top cover for the ACC Elite with a very talented modeler who makes lots of other bits and pieces for the shooting community.

This is what we have come up with. One piece, square front, tapered rear, and a rebate in the top for grip tape. It’s since been priced up by a quality machine shop, but the price gets noticeably better once we get to 20 pieces.

As such, I just thought I’d put this out there as an EOI to see whether it’s worth doing. I started this project because I wanted one, but obviously wouldn’t be stuck with 19 spares ideally 😂

If we can get to 20, pricing should come in $150usd+ cheaper than the 4x small cover alternative - including dowels and screws. Hopefully sub 300usd (take advantage of that dogshit Aussie dollar). Shipping from me over in aus shouldn’t be too awful if it goes ahead.

Let me know your thoughts guys.

Danny
