I bought a bunch of fired Winchester 308 WIN brass at a gun show in town and it's shoulder has been set back nearly 2 tenths more than new brass that it have for comparison. I picked up 350 of these for really cheap! Now I know why.

What does a guy do with this? Trash it? I'm not set up to fire form, and the components, powder, and time is kinda cost prohibitive.

Small, low profile and unobtrusive ARCA rail. Common use would be a hunting rifle that you want to ARCA attach to your tripod or bi-pod.

Less that 1/4" thick (.2465") and less that 3" long (.290). 1.5" wide.

Exactly 1 OZ weight.

Built in "end stop" that provides a positive stop as you slide into a tripod mount.

Mount with 10-32 or 10-24 screws into MLOK slots or option in for the thread inserts in 10-32 size. When you order, select your hardware choice.

6061-T6 aluminum machined in my shop here in the USA. Cerakote Stealth Grey finish which goes great with any color chassis or stock.

Notes: Thread inserts require a #1 Drill and 5/16-18 TAP. EZ-LOK 319-332 is what I provide in case you want to look it up.

$89 shipped complete ready to use.

Machined from 6061-T6 completely in my shop here in Northern Arizona. Comes complete ready to use including the ARCA clamp. Graphite Black Cerakote applied for finish. 8oz weight without the Xero installed. .350" thick and very stout. The ARCA clamp is inset to prevent shifting. The Xero can be rotated slightly on the mount if needed.

Mounting holes are provided if you decide to remove my clamp and install your own. Maybe you have a dual PIC/ARCA clamp like the RRS BTC PRO. You can verify your clamps fits by measuring the center to center hole spacing is 1.1" (ARMS-17 pattern) and the width of the clamp (center line of holes to edge opposite the lever or knob is no more than 1.280" which is an exact measurement no fudge factor). This fits a pretty large clamp. The holes are tapped 10-32. Please reach out with any questions.

V2 update - added in 3 center holes tapped 1/4"-20 so you can thread in your mini Xero Tripod or anything else interesting. Also check out the Kestrel Mount which clamps into the existing clamp on the Xero Sled and now you have a great benchrest setup or for your other non ARCA setup rifles.

Thanks for looking at the new stuff. Everything is in stock. Let me know if you have questions. (Fully Loaded version seen below)

I made this bag rider for my rifle. I wanted something that was smooth and rounded all the way around the sides (full radius cut edges) to better fit against my tripod for rear support. Of course, still be good for rear bag use. Worked out well. I used to run the plastic dog leg looking bag rider from MPA (forget the name) and it sucked for rear tripod.

It is 4.9" long X 1.4" wide X 0.4" thick. 6061 Aluminum machined.

I have no idea if anyone is interested in these, I did not plan to make a run of them. MPA has a nice mostly flat one too for $50 bucks, I just saw no reason to buy one when I can make one on my machines.

Figured I would post it here and see if anyone is interested. Probably $40 shipped with Carbon Grey or Black Cerakote is what I would do. The one I cut for my rifle in the pic is Carbon Grey.

This fits my BA Comp using the 3 hole pattern on the bottom of the butt stock with 8-32 screws countersunk (see pic). May fit other MPA rifles, check for the hole pattern.

If I get say 6 folks interested, I will cut a run of them. Reply on this thread or PM me if interested.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thinking about building a 18-20" Grendel. Will be shooting with my son at a local 1000 yard range and was thinking of building a upper for those ranges. I see stuff out there for Grendel but it sure doesn't seem to have taken off quite like 300 blackout or similar.

Is it worth the squeeze?

Edited 04/27 to add - Per Steiner Customer Service, there is no plan to introduce a rail mount option. You're limited to "slip on" or "clamp on" or "how do you say Germans have a twisted sense of humor" mounting options.

Greetings all. As stated in the C35 Gen 1 thread, I was primed and ready to jump on the grenade. When the Gen 2 dropped and I ordered it the morning after I saw it appear on Gunbroker.

The unit comes with batteries, cables, a charger and no way to mount it on an optic. The rail mount is not yet available, and I can't wait till it is because while the slip on is quite adequate, you're limited to a very specific bell diameter without swapping about. I bit the bullet and bought a Burris Smartclip 59mm for my VX-6 3x18x50.

Initial impressions are positive. Unit takes two 18650s. They can be hot swapped and it only needs one to run. I only did that trick once because with two in, I was never in the field more than ~5 hours and they were never in any danger of running out.

Start up to image is about 10 seconds. Menus is easy. Zeroing was easy for me - I got lucky and everything was in enough alignment that I was minute of pig from the first shot. The VX-6 is a surprisingly good host - from what I'd read on the interwebz, 6X is where pixelation is so bad you can't make out a pig from a manbearpig. Horseshit. I shot most groups at 18X. Caveat - the eyebox error is about .0001mm - but, sitting on a cart that has a rest built in, you have that luxury. In all seriousness, about 8X is where you go to noticeable pixels and at 18 you're maybe 16 bit resolution BUT, more on that later.

I was extremely skeptical about the slip on clamp. I stand corrected in that the system works somewhere between well enough and very well. If you're willing to put in the time and work at getting repeatable to the point you're zoomed in to 18X and referencing exactly where your reticle falls against, say, the menu screen - results can be very very acceptable. With the limitation of trying to get it moving pretty quickly, results are still minute of pig with no worries.

In practice, in the field, we had a textbook coyote hunt. I'm using a 20" Grendel with Hornady 123 SSTs. Put a pig carcass from the afternoon hunt in a field, threw out a call, had two yotes come in. I told my buddy to throw out a countdown - he said he wanted me to get something with the new toy and that he would shoot on me. For the record he has one of the newer AGM 640 50mm dedicated scope type things and that is a pretty slick unit as well. I watched the coyotes work toward the carcass and was playing the with zoom. True story, I got up to 18X but was steady and was watching a 16 bit dog walk, sit down and look at me. I could make out the ears at 170 yards. I threw out a 3, 2, 1 and the coyote was DRT. My buddy had put down his gun down thinking they would carry on to the carcass and didn't get any shot as a result.

When it comes to accuracy and return to zero - its good enough. All shots are 100 yards. I witness marked the unit and that keeps it level enough most of the time vs reticle reference. I zoomed into 18X and referenced off where the reticle fell under the letter A in the menu. If I made it a point to fuss with it and try to get very very close to the point I'd based an adjusted group from, it is MOA-ish capable across multiple remove/remount. The rifle is a sub MOA gun and makes everything involved look easy, so it had a running start. The smallest group was a series of removing and remounting 4x, shooting 2 rounds at a time at 18X with all the care. Basically the other groups represent various zoom and effort of alignment combos, but the real test is coming soon. Next range trip I'm going to shoot 50 rounds, one at a time, so 50 RTZ remounts using the external reference marks ONLY and taking what I get. I am going to note WHERE the reticle falls but I'm not going to correct. From there, I believe that I'll be able to figure out the approximate box where its 1, 2, 3, 4 MOA off based on the reference. From there I should be able to determine the ability to know I'm going to hit, say a 2x2" reasonably reliably. I'm very curious to see the results.

I'd guess around then you'll be able to buy a rail mount

Menu allows for 3 weapon profiles, screen can be dimmed down to be easier on the eyes, I'm generally happy with the purchase. This could replace my 'ol Armasight Zeus the way things are going.



Horizontal string was 1, remove, 1 remove, 1



Called right flyer



3, remove, 3, lower mag and only minor fussiness over reticle alignment




2, 2, 2 with a little reference effort and 2, 2, 2,2 - every comma = remount until it was as good as I could hope for and then very careful pressss of the trigger.


I found and bought the Burris eyepiece adapter to see how it did as a spotter. The answer is "not great". The Burris eyepiece limits FOV and is mainly a thread protector.



So, more soon. I need to swap the mount and then get back out to the range. I'm waiting on a couple things to come in but I'm excited about the potential.

Final thought, I want a rail mount - but - the way the unit is shaped I dunno how it is going to work clearance wise with 1.5" mounts.

Third hunt update in post 50

Looking at a criterion prefit shouldered barrel for a Zermatt action chambered in 223 Remington match with a 1:7 twist. It will be fed from mdt .223 aics mags. My question is will this chamber shoot 69gr/
77gr SMK loaded at 2.26” just fine with the .090” freebore? I also intend to shoot heavier reloads which is why I am leaning towards the match chamber vs the Wylde. Anyone have experience with this?

Looking to offload a few items, everything except the barrel action has some minor use or no use at all.
