Is anyone having an issue with RCBS dies? We have broken two of the resizing does from RCBS for the .338 Lapua. After 30-40 rounds pressed into the dies, when the brass is released from the die, the die cracks. These were both purchased from local large sporting goods stores (one broke, exchanged it for another, and broke that one yesterday).

Anyone else seeing this issue?

I have 2 DNT 7-35 scopes in MOA that im not going to use. They are both MOA and new in the box.

Asking $520 shipped each.

Glock 34 Gen 5 MOS in 9mm with about 2,000 flawless rounds down the barrel. Coming with one 17rd magazine, backstraps, and hard case.

I paid $730 new for this a few months ago, so it's a single owner. Priced to sell at $500 plus shipping to your local FFL. Local pick up available for North Alabama. PayPal F&F, Cashapp, Venmo, or cash.

I recently had a bolt lug shear off in my 224 Valkyrie. It took a ton of force to remove the bolt, and when I finally got it out, I realized that the bottom three lugs in the barrel extension looked like they had been damaged. I'm not 100% sure that the damage did not occur previously, but I think it's pretty unlikely. It's not a new build as the barrel has about 1K on it.

Do you think the barrel is still safe to use?

Hi All,
I’m looking for recommendations on where to send a couple of short actions and bolts to be DLC coated (Curtis and Rem700).
would be nice if I can get something in the south east or even Florida.
Thank you

I would like to sell or trade my 35mm Area 419 1.54” 20 MOA Full Cantilever Once Piece Scope Mount. My Leupold MK5 was test fitted to check for eye relief on my gas gun due to my LOP requirements I need the mount to sit a little further back for proper eye relief.

It has not been torqued or used for live fire, it has just sat on my work bench.

$300 cash shipped, OBO.

Willing to trade for a KRG forend, or KRG night vision bridge with some cash.

Info straight off the Euro Optic Purchase Invoice:

Accuracy International AXSA 6.5 Creedmoor 26” Barrel Short Action, 1960 Profile 5/8x24 Thread Pitch with protector, DE/DE, MPN AX2-SA605CRRFOODE-1126032DES-0B

I purchased the rifle in 2019 from EuroOptic with the intent of competing, but sadly never made it that far. I am the only owner of the rifle and have sent less than 300 rounds of factory ammo (Hornady 143gr Precision Match) down the tube since acquisition. Beyond several trips to the range, it has spent most of its life in my gun safe. It took some time, but I’ve finally come to terms with selling it to re-investing the funds into my hunting setup since that’s most of what I do these days. The rifle will ship in the original box, including the original documents and rail accessories – transferred from my FFL to yours.

Extras include:

RRS Auxiliary Plate

Rough shipping estimate [UPS Ground Insured for $6500] + FFL transfer fee of $40 shows to be around $220 [From N. Louisiana to Roanoke, VA] = bringing the total up to $6260.00. Still a hell of a lot cheaper than the $7911.00 going price but wanted to let you know ahead of time.

I have an older set of Leica HD-Bs, and I've been looking to find something worth replacing them with. Like a lot of people here, I use them for hunting and general glassing, but I also want a solid laser that can reliably hit small steel targets at distance with an integrated ballistics solver (that does not need to BT to another device). I'd prefer AB, but it's not a deal killer. I was set on picking up a pair of the Vector X's when they became available, and my hope was that the Vectors would bridge the gap between the gamer options and the hunting options, but I'm re-evaluating. Potential options that I'm considering are (not necessarily on this order):

I saw some conflicting info on some of these units regarding beam divergence, so maybe this table is not completely accurate


Vectronix Vector X ($2,799 + $600 enhancers)
Not a ton of info out yet regarding general production units. Pre-production and influencer type reviews indicate that the laser is great, I like the display readout, and it sounds like glass is good (probably not on par with alpha bino RF?).

Currently they are unobtanium. Previous comments related to civilian sales support is poor. I don't care that much about the etched reticle - it will get occasional use, but I'll glass more than I use the reticle so I'd probably prefer clean optics. Some of the comments in the Vector X threads so far have me second guessing quality of these units (but that's probably not a fair assessment at this point). I like the prospect of throwing the enhancers in my backpack to use while tripod mounted.

Revic BLR10b ($2,425.50)
A little more info on these than the Vectors, but still not a ton. Sounds like laser is good, I'm okay with display, and glass sounds like it's okay (but not competing with the top 3). I don't want to rely on a BT connection for the ballistics, and my understanding is that these can function independently, is that right? I'm luke warm on this option, but can't actually say why. I haven't used a set myself, but part of me thinks if I were to go this route, I should just grab the vortex AB option for almost half the price and wait for a future option with better optics.

Leica 3200.com OR PRO ($2,000 - ~$2500 + AB upgrade)
I've been really happy with the optics in my older HD-B's, so I'm inclined to grab another set of Leica's. The .Coms have better beam divergence than the Pros, but I'd prefer the AB solver in the Pros as well as the ability to receive a solution beyond 1,000 yards (I'd upgrade the Pros to AB Elite). The Leica solver I use in the HD-Bs is workable, but honestly it's kinda shit. I believe the Pros have the largest beam divergence of any option I'm considering. I also don't like how long you have to wait for the range display to cycle to the ballistic solution display (why wouldn't they display both on the initial screen?!). My understanding is that these Leica's will be optically superior to the Vector & Revics, which is appealing.

If Leica would upgrade their laser and provide additional display options, I'd happily pay more to have high level optics with a high performing laser/ballistics solver.

Swaro EL Range TA ($3,150)
I haven't looked into this option too much. Previously, Swaro's lasers seemed to be lacking and their in-house ballistic app was shit. Optics should be among the best of the group. I'm most leary of the ballistics solver and display at this point. I've looked at some of the specs, and I don't see anything that would steer me towards Swaro over Leica, but maybe I'm missing something.

Zeiss Victory RF ($3,099)
Similar to the Leica & Swaro, I think the pro with these will be the optics, and the potential con is going to be the ballistic solver, readout, and the laser is not as good as other options.

Vortex Fury 5000 AB ($1,350)
These would be a place holder until 'something better' came along. You could probably substitute these Vortex units with a host of other options. There's a pretty low probability that I'd go this route especially since I haven't heard of anything concrete on the horizon.



I've watched a handful of YouTube videos, I've read some reviews, and I've had hands on with only a couple of these units, but nothing really jumps out as THE choice. It's kinda crazy that Sig or Vortex (or some other company) doesn't offer a high quality optics choice or that Swaro/Leica/Zeiss doesn't offer a better laser/readout option.

Anyone have any great insights?? I know a lot of people are in the same boat, what did you pick and why?

I have a set of Sig 6k HD 10x32 binos that I like. Even on battery saving/short range mode they have plenty of jam and I don't notice a lot of the blue tint that the 3k and 10k users report. I like the BDX app and the display. Only real minor issue is that the reticle is misaligned.

That said in low light they could be better. Inam considering getting the 6k HDX 10x42mm. If anyone here has used both do you think the latest generation and larger objective lenses would offer a noticeable improvement in low light conditions?

The 10k may be better yet but for me that's too much money for something I might lose.

Thanks in advance.

I recently switched my Sauer 200 for another (Sig) Sauer, the 205.

Basically the same thing except a double stack 10 rnd magazine and a stock divided in two (visible at the bolt handle).

This is what it looks like with the 20 inch 308 barrel and a Hausken silencer, I also have a 74 cm 6,5x55 barrel which will be the primary barrel for competitions.

Very nice ergos, the buttplate can be tilted, angled, etc. The two stage trigger can be moved back and forth and of course adjusted for weight and so forth.

Shot it for the first time today (in 6,5, 308 yet to come) and it performed very well. The possibility to adjust the butt plate in alot of ways really facilitates better recoil mgmt than the 200 STR, which only adjusts up/down.

Most of these have never been in a die. The couple that have were only used for maybe 100 rounds -at the most
Any 4 for $115

Up for grabs are two of my Surefire lights. These would be ideal for the GWOT clone crowd.

Up first is a Surefire M951 Fat Body with the SW01 Slim tail cap. It works and is in used/issued condition. Surefire 6P from the same era in used/issued condition as well. Includes pic mount. I prefer to sell them together to one buyer. $380 shipped for the pair. PayPal friends and family or USPS money order.

Suffice to say that I’m interested but I have a bit of sticker shock on the price mentioned. More at the above link.

Like new, comes with T3 felt lined blocks and PMA Captured Stable foot kit and hard case 1800.00

Seems like all the Norma Tac-22 has dried up from the usual sources. Not even finding it on Ammo seek. Are there any sponsors here? I stocked up last year and between my sponging friends and a 10,000 round a year habit, I'm looking to buy again. Any leads appreciated.

Hey everyone. First off, it appears the crown style has no effect on a rifle’s accuracy. But I thought it would be fun to see what kind of crown you guys like (and why).




My Kidd has a counterbored crown. Not sure if centerfires have this style?

Our own @Frank Green has an enlightening list over on accurate shooter:

He does mention one advantage to the 11° is you can see the gas venting lines, which is a shortcut way of seeing if your crown is messed up. This trick surely(?) doesn’t work when using a suppressor. (Edit: wrong!)


He also approves of breaking the crown’s edge at 60° vs. leaving it sharp.

Recessed crowns of any type can help avoid crown damage.

Anyway, have fun!

Fucking hilarious. Top notch trolling - asking if he had a pimp.

Gents,

I need the clarity that can only come from writing a forum post after a frustrating day at the range.

My Howa 1500 in a KRG Bravo jumps around, and won’t balance on a schmedium. I have all the KRG things, but its just too light up front. I am having a really hard time spotting my shots.

The next logical step is to rebarrel and buy a more effective brake. A 28” bull will be $575 if I want it inside of 2 weeks. But why would I put a $575 barrel on a $394 barreled action? My marriage with the howa is already on the fritz, and I don’t think getting her a BBL will fix that.

That’s a double entendre in case you missed it.

So, do I abandon this platform and go to something else? What else could even be delivered before the beginning of the season for less than, say, $2500 including mags, dies, and brass?

The used Solus market seems reasonable. Maybe an 2-season-old solus competition + a rebarrel with a COTS prefit in 6 GT.

I’m leaning towards dumping the howa. I could use some input from people who have been in my shoes, or avoided my shoes.
