Hey all,

I'm installing a proof CF barrel on a kelbly action. This is my first time doing this and I have a question about torque specs.

Kelbly recommends a torque of 100 ft/lbs

Proof recommends a torque of 80 ft/lbs

Do I use one of the torque specs above or just pick a number in the middle (90 ft/lbs)?

Thank you in advance!

AIcs magazine inserts with hook on both sides. Works with any pouch that has loop on both sides. Asking $25 shipped.

I am selling an MDT Precision Bottom Metal for a Remington 700 Short Action with a Badger M5 profile. This top-notch bottom metal features a barricade stop, a flared magwell, and an adjustable magazine latch. I had it on my Bergara rimfire, which I recently sold, so I no longer need this component. I am asking for $SOLD, which includes shipping. I accept payment via Zelle or discreet PayPal Friends & Family. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

I’m good on base and mid layers for matches. Anyone have some recommendations for cold weather outer layers. I’m in North Texas so nothing crazy around freezing or a little below is the lowest it will get.

I posted this in another thread in response to @Frank Green , but it was entirely tangential to the topic... @Ledzep @Bryan Litz Ballistics perhaps y'all have some insight as well.

When you see a pitched bullet & the counter pitching force is sufficient to correct after exiting from the bore, does this correct without any angular deviation to the flight path?

E.g., assume a bullet is seated measurably eccentric and is fired, engraving eccentrically. It will obviously initially spiral after exiting the bore. Assuming dynamic stability is achieved, will the projectile's subsequent flight path have discernible angular difference in flight from a projectile that exited the bore perfectly with no pitching? Is the axis or locus of correction the center of mass? I'm guessing no, due to air resistance.

Hopefully that made sense. I'm guessing there are too many factors for a simple answer, like bullet shape, length, weight, speed of rotation, velocity, degree of wobble, etc.

Package includes the following:

• Bergara HMR Pro 300 Win Mag rifle with 26" barrel ($1,600 retail). Purchased a year ago. Have ~250 rounds through it from sighting in and an NRL match. Excellent condition other than a scratch on the barrel, shown in pictures below.
• Over 300 rounds of ammunition that is mostly Federal Sierra Match King 190gr, a few boxes of Federal Swift Scirocco 180gr, and 73 rounds of Texas Ammo 168gr. This equates to over $3 per round in value ($3.60 for 190gr, $3.45 for 180gr and $2.15 for 168gr). I also have 300WM spent brass that I will include for free.

I have a NF NX8 4-32 mounted on a Seekins Havak PH2 with 20MOA base. The NX8 advertises 90 MOA vertical range. After sighting in at 100 yds I have 57 MOA vertical adjustment left. I expected 65 (45 +20). Would you expect to get 65? NF said they will check out the scope as I only dialed down 13 MOA to get sighted in. I have asked Seekins if their receiver base was parallel to the bore. I’m sure it is but that would explain not having to dial down 20 MOA if it wasn’t. My 100 yd sight-in is about 3” above the bore so that’s 3 MOA at 100 yds. I have never had a canted scope base before and just didn’t know what to expect. If I put the POI back to the bore centerline (dial down another 3 MOA) that would result in 60MOA up travel. Maybe that’s close enough?

I have a rifle I put together a little while ago and it's been shooting really weird. It's a bcm upper, green mountain barrel, KAC URX handguard, set screw gas block, microbest bcg, lower is Palmetto with a larue trigger and lmt sopmod. It has weird fliers that I can't account for and it doesn't seem to hold zero. It doesn't shoot to point of aim consistently.

Things I've tried:

Rebarreled
Took it all apart, put it back together, different barrel nut torque (fiddled with upper receivers and found one to thermo fit, didn't help)
Factory ammo to eliminate handloads
Two different scopes, irons
Less oomph on gas block set screws
No muzzle device
Lead sled didn't help

Now here's the weirdest part, I shot it single fed no magazine and it grouped well vertically BUT it had a horizontal stringing of about 2moa

So I'm pretty much stumped, I've built probably 40 ARs and this one seems to be possessed or something

Up for sale is a barely used Vortex gen 3 scope. I have 2 similar scopes and neither is what I really need for my shooting setups.
I do not shoot PRS , and mainly shoot at known distances.
The price is $ 2100.00 . Includes all factory accessories. Rings are not part of the deal.

New Lower Price.

May consider a Trijicon or Delta Stryker 5-50x 56 for trades.

Hello all.
Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on velocity.

I am shooting a Sako 75 chambered in 6.5x284. It was a factory 6.5x55 Swede 1:8 twist 24” varmint barrel and was rechambered to 6.5x284.

I have tried various loads, most recently 57 and 58 grains of retumbo, shooting an 140gr Eld-m and the best velocities I am generating are around 2770.

From everything I have read I should be getting closer to the 2900-2950 range?

Any ideas?

Should I re barrel and try a 26” or perhaps move it on and start again with a 6.5prc?

Cheers

I don't have one, but thinking of a Predator for a lightweight build. Doesn't have to be .5 MOA for this application, but a consistent 1 MOA would be fine.

Any recent experience with their barrels? Past (real life) reports have always been pretty mixed, biased to maybe just so-so, so I've stayed away.

Thanks.

IMI 77gr SMK Razor Core is some great shooting factory ammo. I haven't loaded 5.56 in 15yrs but saved my IMI brass. Gave it a go with the following best performing powders: (Velocities and group sizes practically identical to IMI 77SMK Razor Core)

WOA 18" SPR
2-10X36 Trijicon Credo in ARC rings

Bullet: 77SMK
Powder TAC @24.2gr

Primer: CCI 41
COAL: 2.255
MV: 2712fps SD: 16fps (IMI was 2711fps SD:15fps)

MV: 2716fps SD: 7
Temp: 66F.

Notes:
N135 was nice surprise. I haven't read much on the powder for 77SMK. 23.7gr gave a bit of ejector shine, but so does IMI.
IMI ammo was COAL: 2.245. I need to load these two loads at that 2.245 COAL and see what happens.
The neck tension on my loads seemed/felt tight. I will get a .0015 larger mandrel and test again.
Trijicon Credo. Man, what a neat little scope. That thing banging out these groups makes me happy.
I learned I can swage/cut the primer crimp from the primer pockets with a VLD chamfer tool. So damn handy!

Hawkins medium action M5 bottom metal and MDT mag.

$250 shipped. PayPal G&S

OK, looking to get a stoopid rifle. I've had three different 50s over the years, I always say it's my "shitty girlfriend that I that I know I'm better off without, but I always keep her number in my phone....". Every time I sell a 50 I swear it's my last one, but I still keep all the ammo.

In the past I started with a single shot from a company called VM Hy-Tech, then onto a Barret M99 and finally a Windrunner. All 3 long gone in exchange for the next shiny object.

Until a few days ago I was pretty set on a M107a1, because what's better than a suppressible semi-auto??? This (and all my previous 50s) are just for fun. Nothing else I've ever take a group of people out to shoot has made everyone smile more than a 50. It makes everyone giggle like a school girl.

But after looking around, there are some really interesting 50s out there. I want to go with a repeater, but certainly doesn't have to be semi auto.

I did some internet searching, but this isn't a popular topic for comparisons. Therefore I was hoping enough people here have shot or owned 50s and can give me their experience and opinion.

I have the following list of candidates:

Barrett M107a1
Barrett M95
McMillan TAC50-C
Cadex Tremor 50
Steyr HS50
AI AW50 (if one comes up that's reasonable)

There is also Desert Tech, which I'm not too hot on. But if enough people said it was the shit, I would also consider it.

Thanks.

So I've got a setter that's 16 and a half years old. His quality of life is getting pretty bad. Doesn't want to walk, getting really wasted looking. Thing is he still eats and tries to take bones from my 3 year old lol.

Took him to the vet today thinking he's got cancer or kidney failure and would be putting him down. Nope. Labs are all fine, prostate, fine, lungs fine, abdomen fine. He's just tired.

Decided instead to try him on a couple weeks of Galliprant. Even bought him some cbd gummies to encourage him to eat more and help with pain when he walks.

It's probably stupid to do, and I sure don't want to be cruel to him. I just thought I'd give him a fighting chance and see if I can improve his quality of life. If he's not improving, I'll put him down, which brings me to my question. Is there any reliable home brew method to euthanize a dog other than a bullet or an injection? I wish I could feed him a bunch of morphine and let him just drift off to sleep. He's terrified of the vet's office and I don't want him living his last moments in fear. There's a couple at-home euthanasia services around here, which I'll probably go with, but thought I'd ask if there are any alternatives.
