Looking to dip my toes into the bolt gun world after spending all of my time in the AR world. Looking for viable options under $3k that can either be built or turnkeyed from a reputable company.

So far I’ve got the list of turnkey rifles at:
- MPA Matrix Pro PMR
- Aero Solus Competition
- Seekins Havak HIT Pro M3
- Tikka T3X Ace Target

All would be in 6.5 Creedmoor as I’ve got 2 AR10’s already chambered in that round, and good factory ammo is readily available.

I’m currently leaning towards the Seekins because of the quick change barrel option, but I’ve heard there are issues with the HIT taking pre-fits if I ever wanted to change calibers or upgrade barrels.

Are there other options I should be considering? Is it worth looking to assemble a rifle with a $3k budget?

Hello, I recently purchased my first "match grade" barrel to get more involved in long range shooting/hunting and I am having trouble understanding what is going on here.

I read a lot of people say they dont clean their barrels for 400+ rounds before accuracy drops off, and cleaning too frequently will wear out the barrel. Other reputable sources say clean every 30-40 rounds.

After i clean this barrel, i fire a few fouler shots. Rounds #3-30 shoot exceptionally well (sub 1/2moa 5-shots). Rounds #30-40 start creeping up velocity, and by round #40 i have gained 80fps and start getting pressure signs, the groups open up significantly

Should I consider the possibility that this barrel does not settle in with enough fouling until 40rds, try a lighter charge to get back to my velocity node, and then hopefully the velocity remains stable for hundreds of rounds before cleaning?

Or should i accept that this barrel requires cleaning every 40 rounds, and continue on. Thanks in advance!

I have a Leupold MK5 HD 7-35 scope w/CCH mils reticle, that I am wanting to trade for another 7-35x mk5 in MOA. It’s only about 11 months old, I picked it up because I got a good deal on it, but it’s the only scope I run that isn’t in MOA, and I’d like to just keep everything consistent. Does NOT include scope mount. I will throw in the scope chap and some dry erase turret tape.

For the sake of putting a price on it, let’s say scope and mount for $2200 shipped.

I think there was a group of us that was super stoked that the 7 PRC would be a adaptation of the 6.5 PRC, at least, I was.

Now that we know that it's not, we can start making one ourselves. I've talked to PVA and they have a reamer ready to go. Brass is easy to find and good quality. F-class guys are pushing 180 hybrids 2900-2925. I'd imagine that's using a long action though. Based on looks alone I don't think it'd be giving much if anything up to the 7 RSAUM or sherman's (SS & SST).

It seems that using a short action will always be compromising when looking at a magnum. I'm hoping this fits my needs until I build a dedicated ELR rig. I've been bouncing a lot of ideas around but I think this is where I'm landing.

What do you guys think?

Has anyone here been running one?

I just had an old timer drop a gun off with me to help him get rid of it, its a 700 built by Iron Brigade Armory. He said he had it built and only shot about a box of ammo through it then let it sit in the safe, the thing is essentially new. Digging around on here and across the internet I'm having a hard time coming up with a real world value for this. I'm hoping someone on here knows more about Iron Brigade builds and their values than me.

Practical Application of Night Vision for Domestic
Law Enforcement & Homeland Security


By
Chip Lasky, TNVC Director of Operations & Product Development
And
John Chapman, Director of Training, LMS Defense


The purpose of this informational paper is to provide the reader with the strengths and weaknesses of the most commonly available night vision systems when applied to the US domestic law enforcement and homeland security mission. On August 17 and 18, 2010, Chip Lasky and John Chapman conducted a series of tests with the mandate to gather realistic data in order to 1) determine the effectiveness of commonly available night vision when utilized in real world circumstances; and 2) utilize this data to determine a minimum level of capability appropriate for domestic law enforcement and homeland security missions. The reason for this undertaking is to provide the law enforcement professional a basis for understanding the capabilities and limitations of various image intensifiers on the market. This informational paper is intended to dispel the confusion surrounding the appropriateness of various devices and their associated image intensifier tubes. This article is not meant to address the technical merits or deficiencies in these devices so much as to provide a realistic portrayal of their capabilities in side-by-side comparison.

To accomplish these goals, we developed a realistic set of scenarios based on real world circumstances likely to be encountered by the user community. We then utilized the five most common night vision devices covering the three most common image intensifier generations available to the domestic user community to observe these scenarios from the responder’s perspective. Each device was tested in each scenario to gather data in three modes: 1) Passive observation using only the available environment’s ambient light; 2) passive observation using each unit’s internal infrared (IR) Illuminator; and 3) Passive observation using a secondary IR Illuminator (Surefire M1 IR Illuminator). A professional photographer then captured photos through each device in each mode, using the same shutter speed and other camera settings. These camera settings were determined by setting up the camera in the mode and shutter speed most favorable to the device with the tube that gathered the least amount of light (the ATN Viper Gen1+).

The need to rapidly and accurately identify threats such as a weapon in a suspect’s hand is overwhelmingly obvious for those going into harm’s way. This was a requisite in developing the scenarios for this article. The idea is to best describe, through photo documentation, the ability to detect and identify threats in accordance with domestic laws of Use of Force. We chose several different locales in which law enforcement personnel are likely to encounter a suspect while using night vision.

Photo documentation was collected with a Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera. Images are shown as-is with no alteration or retouching. Raw data files are available for peer review.

The five devices tested were:

These devices were selected because they can display the various generations and levels within generations of image intensifier technology. The units are all monocular-type and can be hand-held or head-mounted for a hands free capability. Emphasis was placed on individually-operated devices used in a “search and observe” capacity.

Anyone got any experience with any of the 19 caliber calhoon cartridges? I’ve been eyeing building one for quite some time, but wanted to hear some real world experience.

I’ve had great results with their .22 cal bullets.

But did nothing to go against the narrative that old Potato was fit and mentally sound commander in chief.

Is this legit?

Apr 1st seems suss... also, I think I put my name down almost a decade ago.

Having an issue with feeding from two Rem 700's both in 6.5 Creed. They were perfect before getting pillar bedded. So now they both shoot fantastic, but dont feed worth a dam. They aways pass the hand feeding dummies test, but on the range is ALWAYS a whole other story; must be the recoil that does something.
The only thing I could find was that after they were bedded, the blind magazine box kinda had some vertical play in it. Noticed that when I took the action out of the stock and bolted the bottom metal back up to it to see how it looked assembled. Noticed the action screws were now too long and would interfere with the bolt. I asked myself how could this be? If this is mated perfectly without the stock, how are the screws too long?
Now I see - the assembled (in the stock) rifle is longer (taller) inside the stock than it is without. So then after it was all back together again and with the floor plate open, I could stick my hand in there and slide the mag box up and down about four millimeters. This to me didnt seem right but I was told by someone there was indeed supposed to be that play in there.
While looking at the mag box, spring and follower design, I noticed the blued steel mag box was different than the stainless model I have. And they're both different than the ones you see on Ebay that have the little tab or eye on back of the box, where I think you can screw this box down to the action.
1. This box that can be screwed down to the action; it seems older. Is it? Was this discontinued? What was it for originally?
2. My stainless mag box has what appear to be laser cuts in it, and the folds to act like feed lips are more aggressive (closer) Why did the design change? Or was one meant for the 308 and the other a 6.5 creed? I dont know. Was it just a product improvement/change proposal over the years?
