Hello everybody.
I own a 32" Barrett 99 in 50 BMG.
I have read somewhere that replacing the OEM Muzzle Brake with a QDL would redirect the muzzle blast away from the shooter (or at least reduce it).
Can anyone confirm?
If so, my basic understanding of physics suggests that actual felt recoil would increase, but how much?
It is a $500 piece of gear and it would be nice to know if it's worth dropping the coins on it...

Selling the majority of the stuff I have accumulated over the years. Bear with me on shipping as I do my best to get stuff out within 1-2 days but sometimes my job dictates otherwise. I’ll keep you in the loop regardless.

I’m going to start with the guns and then will move onto ammo if it doesn’t sell with the guns, and then reloading and accessories after that. I’ll get stuff posted as I have time. There will be lots of FREE stuff posted in another ad as well like I’ve done in the past.

Whittling my safe down to just a couple firearms so I’m pretty much set on trades. I would take a stcatto XC or Wilson project 1 on trade (can add cash where needed). Always open to high end mil/mil optics.

I owe you all pictures so I’ll try to get those up soon. PM me if you’re seriously interested in buying something and I will try to send you those sooner.

How do these two scopes compare glass quality? Will they both have zero stop and track good and hold a good zero? Any information on these two scopes would be great.

Hey fellas, l have a Rock River lar-8 .308. are the handguards and stocks on that proprietary or are there other options?

Like with a cloth. Curious why it wasn't done the first day.

Time for Mays Topstrap Longrange (midrange) Rimfire Challenge here in Eastern Ohio. Weather looks pretty good with no rain and warm temperatures. This should be a pretty neat match, it'll have everyone thinking What The Heck Happened? (WTHH Match)

It'll be on May 9th (fri), 10th (Sat) and 11th (Sunday). I should be ready around 8AM and can accommodate 2 shooters at the same time. It takes about an hour at the most to shoot the match, usually more like 35 to 45 minutes. 85 targets with 5 sighters and 4 bonus shots plus any needed to check your zero. Targets are from 25 yards out to 197 yards consisting of 15 racks. Eye/ear protection is encouraged, all gun actions remain open with chamber flag and no magazine in place.

A competitor can come any time any of the three days, they may re-enter but will have to get back in line. There is a covered firing line with some seating to watch or spread lies about their shooting abilities with others. Help with spotting/scoring is greatly appreciated and speeds things up a lot. I paint the targets every two shooters so they can see their hits as they progress.

Email me for directions at [email protected] or I have a Facebook page at Topstraps Rimfire Challenge which you can join to get match reports or share anything interesting about Rimfire shooting.

Arken 34mm 1.26” rings $55 shipped to lower 48

I've decided to go the Tikka route, and right now am choosing between the Hunter & the superlite. Given I'll be dropping the barreled action into a McMillan a5 (channeled for a heavy pre-fit) and shooting the factory tikka barrel out until then, is there a reason to go with the hunter over the lite or superlite? They are the same cost at the store I'm looking.

At first I was told the only differences in the T3x line was the stock and fluting of the barrel, but google says the Hunter model has a thicker profile. Can anyone confirm this?

1) is it the same profile as the CTR?
2) does anyone know the profile of the Tac A1 barrel or if that's the same as the CTR?
3) is the bolt handle the only difference in the action between the CTR/Tac a1, and the rest of the T3x lineup?

Hi all,

Anyone know what the current turnaround times for PVA prefits are roughly? I'm in a slight time-crunch and was wondering if anyone had recent insight into what the current turnaround times were - bonus if you know the turnaround times for a fluted and cerakoted barrel.

I know they have a rush option I'm not sure if that is just for the machine work or for the whole thing.

Thanks!

Please school me on triggers and why I should prefer one over the other for this rifle. What would you use for your Vintage Sniper rifle?

A friend and I took an epic trip to the desert this weekend. We left Friday late afternoon, stayed in a cabin near Truckee that night, then got up early and headed out to the "desert." Why the quotes around desert? See below

Waking up in the morning in Truckee - remember, we're 4 days til May here...

You can't tell from the pic, but it was still snowing.

We drove out to the desert and found this amazing dry lake bed out in the middle of nowhere. What a great place to shoot, right?




We set a 24" circular target at 1860, but...

Rain is coming.


The rain clears and we get the 300 PRC and spotting scope set up.

What's wrong with this picture?

The arrow is pointing at the target. Does that look like a 24" circle to you?

Here's the view through the spotting scope which is a little higher off the ground.

You can clearly see the mirror image with two "targets" shown. You can also see the kaleidoscope pattern through the spotting scope below (not the target area, but close by).


I'd never shot across a dry lake bed before, so this was a learning experience for me. What was amazing was how much mirage there was AND the mirror imaging taking place. The pictures look kind of bright, but in reality, at this point just after the rain, it was still cloudy. Mirage was just nasty. I tried a few shots at 1860, but we couldn't even see the misses. My assumption is that the atmospherics causing the mirror imaging also affected viewing the actual target location, so the POA and POI were significantly different.

We ended up moving the target to a closer (and higher) area to get it higher above the lake bed. Impacts were still about .3 mil under what I would have expected.

There will be a video forthcoming - regardless, it was a fun day.

I'm selling my entire 6mm BR setup down to my AMP annealing pilot. This action and barrel both only have 478 rounds on them. I've shot mainly 105 Bergers and can even send over all my load data for this barrel if you so choose. Barrel is 26" long with a 1.250" straight taper and threaded 5/8x24. I would like to sell all of this together but will consider piece by piece and discounts for bundling. I need to sell the action first, as the buyer of the action has dibs on the rest of the items. Bundle and save, huh? I've attached pictures of everything, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I'm happy to discuss anything over the phone, as well.

TOTAL PRICE: $2,395 ($2,250 if you buy everything)

Bartlein 26" barrel 1:8" (chambered by Southern Precision Rifles) threaded 5/8x24 : $500
