Firearms Custom lightweight 7PRC Defiance+Proof+Manners

Selling a rifle I recently built, but decided I don’t need another lightweight rifle, so testing the waters.

Primarily looking for trades at this time, but since I have to put a price on it, $5250 shipped to your FFL.

Trade interests include AI, Cadex or MRAD rifle preferably in 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, 300 PRC or 338 LM.

Rifle build is as follows (not looking to split any parts of the rifle up, at this time)
-Defiance Classic LA Mag nitrided action (46 rounds on the action)
-Proof 22” 7PRC CF barrel w/ASR brake (round count is 46, barrel was properly broken in)
-Manners LRH stock w/mini chassis and forward pic rail
-Hawkins M5 DBM CIP+ bottom metal
-Timney HIT ST trigger
-Leupold VX6HD 4-24x52 w/Vortex Precision Rings

As it sits, the rifle weighs 9.2lbs. I shot a box of hornady Match through it (during break in and sight-in), the other 26 rounds were all handloads. It shoots the 180 Berger hybrids lights out. I attached a picture of the chrono data for my final/most accurate load. This would make one killer of a competition NRL hunter rifle.

SOLD L3 Storm - AN PSQ 23

Up for sale is one of my PSQ 23s. Everything functions properly. The range finder was tested out to over a mile, and I confirmed the IR works as expected using a PVS 30. I was most recently running this on my mod 5, but for the cloners out there it’s “correct” for several setups including a mod 7, even an m40a6, etc… See attached pictures at the end.

The lenses do have some very fine scratches for full disclosure (see picture, this is how I received it and does not impact the range finder or lasers). Included is the pressure pad remote, as pictured.

$ shipped via FedEx with a signature required. Let me know if you have any questions.

Is the SMASH 3000 Another Version of the Tracking Point?

This sighting system has been out for a few years now. This first article is from October 2022.

The Army is officially adopting a ‘guaranteed hit’ smart scope

This is the company that is producing the SMASH 3000. They don't have any purchasing information but I bet the device probably costs close to $10,000 or more.


This video is a little boring but shows the capability of the sighting system. The only downside that I can see is that they need to produce a version with night vision / thermal capability. Maybe the device is night vision compatible. I haven't read enough about it yet to know what its full potential is.

Using PMII 3-20x50 on TRG 22 and SP10 with QDP-4602 – viable plan?

Currently running a Schmidt & Bender PMII 3-20x50 on my Sako TRG 22 (6.5 Creedmoor) using a Spuhr ST-4701 (35 mm height, 7 MIL cant, direct to dovetail).

I recently bought a Seekins SP10 in .308 (18” barrel) and I’d like to run the same scope on both rifles.

I’m considering switching to a Spuhr QDP-4602 (34 mm tubering, 38 mm height, 6 MIL cant) and installing a low-profile 0 MOA Picatinny rail on the TRG.

That would let me swap the PMII between the two rifles using QD, and use marked zero offsets.



My questions:

1. Do you think this is a solid plan or would you recommend running two separate optics instead?

2. Is there any practical downside to the increased scope height on the TRG (from 35 mm to 43 mm centerline)?

3. Any experience with RTZ performance using QDP mounts across bolt and gas guns?

Appreciate any thoughts or feedback!

Paging BuffaloWinter, please pick up the White Courtesy Phone…

Interesting mag and configuration…

Loach pilot, probably late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s. Pic from random Facebook posting.

IMG_8046.jpeg


Some are saying this was a 30 round mag that some of the SF and aviation guys bought mail order from US. 30 round at mags. I know they have been available, if not issued.

Some are saying that these were “field conversions,” putting an AR feed lips on an AK mag to increase capacity (which seems unlikely as AR mags are aluminum and AK mags were steel (and some Bakelite/polymer).

Any insights? Also interesting Grenade launcher configuration. Like an early 203.

Anything you recognize? Or built?

And I considered it might be an AI image… but looks more like an old Kodachrome.

Cheers, Sirhr

Precision Rifle Gear Pfl338 3d printing goods

So I have been meaning to do this review for some time but life has been bonkers the last 6 months.

I wanted to highlight some of the products that @pfl338 makes that make my life easy easier.

He is a humble guy and shooting enthusiast who quietly makes awesome 3d printed products some that I have been using for several years.

If you have an AI you need to get one of his mag paddle releases. Anytime I play with another ai and it doesn't have that mag release I'm like ugh that sucks when trying to do a msg change. Yes I run it backwards as I prefer the smooth side to my finger sausage.

He makes a great trigger shoe as well. .

Lately been running his Garmin pic mount. Comes with a slot to store the Garmin mount screw.

I also have been running his sled for single loading some really long 300 NM loads.
20250419_090604.jpg


He also makes my empty chamber indicator in orange that loads like a mag.

He also makes these awesome 8lb and 1lb powder funnels. They screw onto the jug so no more spilled retumbo. They also flip around and allow you to easily pour powder back into the jugs from the hopper.

WTB Tripod

ETA, got one, want another

I'd like to trade into a nice rifle tripod set up that could safely and securely support a 13-15 lb precision rifle set up - HK USPs, S&W revolvers, real West German made SIG 220's with sharp hammers, maybe optics, maybe rifles on the table depending on the rig available. Cash possible either way depending on the trade, or outright if it is a smoking deal.

Would prefer a pic rail interface for mounting the rifle on the ball but ARCA wouldn't be a deal killer.

Bigger balls better, have and like a 60mm

Note- I'm 6'2" and my sons are 6'5" - looking for something tall people can use.

Rifle Scopes Vortex RG3 6-36x56, Element Theos 6-36x56 and Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 Review

I will soon update the Hide with full review: Vortex Razor Gen III 6-36x56, Element Theos 6-36x56 and Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 Review

Full review here

TLDR Version

FINAL THOUGHTS​

I have been impressed with Japanese OEM scopes for quite some time, but I must admit that these new 6-36 scopes have the secret sauce, they are some of the best scopes I have seen come out of Japan optically and possibly the best I have seen from Japan to date overall. Overall, I think each of these scopes offer excellent performance per price – meaning they punch above their class while each offer some different features that different shooters will find appealing. Each of these 6-36×56 get my “best in glass” thumbs up!

So here are my personal thoughts on each of these scopes:
  • Zeiss LRP S3 6-36×56: Zeiss was smart to bring this scope to market, they are brand new to the FFP world but have one of the biggest names in the industry. They started with the LRP S5 which is their premium line of scopes; however, in some ways I think I like/prefer the S3 even more than the S5, yes the S5 does have an edge optically but honestly it is not much (and maybe differentiated more in harsh lighting conditions). The turrets are outstanding, the optical quality is excellent and the overall ergonomics are really well thought out. This scope is a real winner in my book and based on its price point I feel it punches well above its class (as do the rest of the scopes here). If I were to split hairs about anything it would be the performance at 36x, while not bad the Zeiss was not able to resolve as well as the Vortex and Element at the top of the magnification, but it wasn’t by any means lacking.
  • Vortex RG3 6-36×56: The RG3 comes with no surprise as to its performance as it has impressed me since day one of its release. Optically this scope holds its own with some of the best in the industry and has laid the groundwork for other manufacturers to take notice, hence the focus of this review – how well do the other OEM 6-36 designs compare. I still think the Vortex has the slight edge optically but the other scopes are very close. Coupled with the industry’s best warranty this scope is the premium choice, but it is also the most expensive out of the three.
  • Element Theos 6-36×56: The surprise of this scope is the nicely engineered toolless turrets that rank very close to Tangent Theta. The feel of the turrets is also excellent giving the scope a refined feel that, coupled with the excellent optical performance, really makes this scope stand out. Element has been around for a while and has impressed with price per performance, but they do not have the market awareness as the likes of Vortex and Zeiss; however, this scope has the potential to really help with name recognition throughout the community and I could see Element gaining more brand awareness as they continue to listen to the community and deliver top quality optics at excellent price points. Speaking of listening to the community, that is one advantage the smaller manufacturer has – they are able to get boots on the ground and not only listen to what the community is asking for but also execute on that quicker.
Reiterating what I mention at the very beginning, I am biased (we all are) and I have my own preferences and this review has opinions that are influenced from that, hopefully I’ve done an adequate job throughout the review to share where my personal preference comes into play in order to help you better evaluate a particular feature. I utilize a strict testing regimen, but it is by no means perfect, always open to constructive criticism. I do not like giving numbers to any scope because there are so many factors that could affect outcomes at any given time, so any numbers I do provide are meant to be for that day and against those scopes I could test side by side. Give me the same scope on another day and it might fare a little better or a little worse due to any number of variables, not the least of which is atmospherics which are constantly changing.

One final thought, I think many manufacturers need to do better at adapting to market needs quicker, too much time and you begin to lose market share in this ever changing world of FFP sport optics. “Adapt or go home” is becoming the name of the game as the market gets more and more saturated with excellent options, and I think Vortex, Zeiss and Element have done well, very well, with these new 6-36 scopes.
