2011 new guy

So I forgot I had registered here back in 2011!

Searching new scopes for a new rifle led me to attempt to register.

Anyway, about me:
56, retired from fire/ems gig. Now working as a nurse in a women prison, (the stories I can tell!:cool:)
I do a little "shooting"and hunting. Mostly buy firearms now.
I live in 2 states more less, Ohio and West Virginia (long story)

Plan on spending more time reading than posting for now.
Thanks for having me around

Firearms 6.5x47 lapua

NO OPTIC OR CAN

Remington 700 blueprint, 18 inch carbon proof barrel, mesa stock, aics magazine, timney trigger. Gun has around 160 rounds down the pipe, i am not the original owner, i got it from a friend, its a nice gun, feels balanced , and shoots like a dream. I just don’t use it that much.


Really would like to trade for an sig cross in 6.5 creedmoor with a decent optic, or an sig cross with a little cash.
Will also consider other CHASSIS rifles. I want a chassis gun. Will overnight ship it. COMES WITH gold premium reloading dies, miscellaneous grain bullets (several boxes) brass, primers. Also a couple loaded rounds.

Cash price is 2k$$$$ I’ll ship on my dime. Seems fair for the gun i suppose?

Legendary Thread Reference

Figured it'd be nice to have a place to go to find some of the Legendary threads. They can be old ones (like gecko45), newer ones (like buddly or recoil control bipods), or even as a place to check what looks like it might turn into a Legendary thread. I've seen a few times where different members have said that they wish they'd known about the thread sooner. This is where you go to figure out where some of the Hide inside jokes/ inside references started.

Friendly reminder. Don't necro a thread without a good reason on threads that are open.

Anyone can add a new link that they think deserves Legendary Status. If there is a new thread currently running I might not get there in time.

Family Holiday Drama: Thanksgiving Edition

Question for the Hide on their experiences with aging family members and holiday traditions. We're a week out from Thanksgiving and still haven't a clue on what the proverbial plan is. A lot has changed over the recent years. On my wife's side- her grandmother used to host her side of the family at her house and likely did so for over 60 years. She passed away last year so that familial tradition is now operating in a void this year.

On my side of the family- my Aunt used to host Thanksgiving for us but about 3 years ago health issues stopped her from being able to host and my mother (very apprehensively tried to fill in). Well my Uncle (said Aunt's husband) also passed away last year and my Aunt is in a rehab facility from recently breaking her hip. My own parents are having health issues of their own which complicates them from hosting Thanksgiving this year and now I'm in a situation resembling a Spiderman meme on who's going to catch the hot potato.

My brother lives in a different state and cannot come up to PA for a turkey dinner. My wife's sister lives in a different state but will be up for Thanksgiving but it seems that both sides of the family are looking at us to pick up the Thanksgiving torch this year. My apprehensions there are that we (1) just purchased the house this year and are still waiting on the furniture we ordered to be delivered and (2) Admittedly I'm very reluctant to enter this holiday as a host because I absolutely believe we'll end up being 'stuck' with it for years to come. To add to the 'joyful' nature of the situation, neither sides of our families necessarily interact with each other either so it's not like it'd be a harmonious joining of families if we did bite the bullet and hosted.

All that said- I'm not looking for any counseling on my family situation here, rather I'm just venting and wondering if anyone else has run into similar family issues with Thanksgiving/Holidays and if so- if they'd be willing to share what the issues were at the time, how they dealt with it, and what the hindsight option was.

Tis the holiday season and it brings out the absolute 'best' in families am I right?

Starting The Suppressor Journey ( Need Advice)

First off, if this is somehow in the wrong place, my apologies. Mods, please move elsewhere if appropriate. Thanks.

Beginning to study suppressors for my Tikka Super Varmint in 6.5 Creedmoor. Range gun. Is there such a thing as a suppressor, I suppose .30 cal, in a $ range of 500 to 700 or so that someone could recommend? I’m a real neophyte at this and it seems really complicated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Scale recommendation

I currently have a RCBS Pocket 1500 and is terrible with the drift. Picking the powder pan up and placing it again shows drift as much as 0.3gr and goes back and forth so there's no way to judge what is the correct reading.
No drafts, wiped the thing with dryer sheet and as away from electronics as possible but the issue is still there.

Other than the beam scale, is there an electronic one that won't drift? Preferably with an auto trickler but not a necessity.
Budget is less than 300USD. That being said, I wouldn't want to spend 300 only to find out that I need to get a fx120 for reliable measure, so if I absolutely need to spend more, let me know and I'll delay my purchasing.

Thank you

MDT polymer 3 round flush magazine into a Hawkins Precision DBM

Hi brains trust. Surely someone here has fitted a MDT flush 3 round 308 polymer magazine into a short action Hawkins Hunter DBM?

Its very close to fitting but the magazine catch seems to protrude too much to get past the latch or fit into the slot the surrounds the latch. Im unsure whether to sand the catch down slightly or make it fit some other way. I cant imagine i'm the first to try this, before i ruin the magazine im wondering if anyone has any tips?!

Am i wrong

I ordered a triggertech diamond 2 stage rem700 for my impact737r build. It came in a white envelope and when I opened it up the trigger was out of its recess and all the way to the side of the package. Did not take a Pic of that position. I slid it back to the recess and noticed a small nick in the anodizing. It was shipped all over the US, north to south to north then back down to me. The package it's self it beat up and crushed on one side. If I went to a store I would not buy it. I filed for a claim as my gunsmith said he would not use it without sending it in to have it checked at triggertech. The place where I bought it have been wonderful they said it wasn't shipped by them and the last trigger I bought from them came packed in a box with alot of foam. Am I wrong for wanting a replacement.
