Fixed Magazines

I am thinking about building a rifle on a custom long action. I am looking at the Zermatt Origin and the Terminus Zeus at the moment. I would really like a Mausingfield, but they don't seem to be available in long action anymore.

I am thinking of chambering it in either .25-06, 6.5-06 or another 6.5mm calibre but would like another barrel in either .338-06 or 9.3x62 for occasional overseas use.

I would ideally like to have a fixed magazine or at least the ability to top load the magazine but my concern is that whilst I am looking at similar cases, a BDL magazine might not feed correctly with two different calibres. The only alternative I can find would be a Sako 85 or 75 magazine, which are readily available, but I am not sure would feed correctly.

It seems that having several AICS magazines might be my only option, but I would be grateful for any thoughts.

Inconsistent POI.

I put a new rifle together for deer season this year and I’m less than impressed with it. Parts used:
C A Ridgeline 308 with 20” carbon barrel
McMillan HTG stock
A G - M5 bottom metal
TT trigger set at 2.5lbs
EEW 20 moa base
Vortex PMR rings
Leupold VX-5 3-15 x 44
Hornady 165gr sst
The action started out torqued to 35, 45 and then 55 in lbs, rings and base are torqued to spec. I’ll do 3 shot groups @ 100 yards with about 20 minutes in between to let it cool down and the POI will shift from group to group. I put my Mark-5 on it to see if I had a dud scope but I get the same results. Today it started out right and shifted left by the end of the day. I accept the fact that it’s a factory barreled action and will only shoot 1.25 MOA but why is it shifting? (Disregard the 3 shots in the middle of the paper, they were from a different rifle)

Full Specs:


Intel Expansion Bus for additional 2.5Gb Ethernet Port and 2 x USB ports:

This unit will also come with an external expansion box that allows you to install a PCIe desktop card in it, should you ever to. (Highly unlikely, but options are good.)
The expansion unit also allows you to connect high power devices to the Thunderbolt / USB4 port on the back of it. It's pretty cool. (If you have a Mac at the host, it's useful there too.)

Sasquatch kills Two


Well, not really. But they were looking for Sasquatch and probably died of exposure for being terminally fucking stupid!

So in a way… Sasquatch killed them.

Stupid is going out in big Washington woods in December without being prepared. It’s even stupider when you are trying to find a mythical ape man.

Which scope for 1000 yard rifle

I’ve seen a couple of threads on here recommending this and that for getting into the thousand yard game. I’ve noticed a lot of the links are not working anymore or the scopes have been discontinued. I want a Leupold mark five so bad I can taste it but just can’t turn loose 2000+ bucks. Right now I’ve got a Swarovski 5 x 25 and I just cannot make myself like that scope, it’s not what I want. I just don’t like it. I can’t explain why. I’ve got several of the Leopold VX5HD 3-15x56 scopes on other guns and I really like those, but I need more than 15 power I think or so I? Whats a good scope in the 25x class? I just can’t bring myself to spend $2100 bucks on a scope.

3-18X and 5-25x

New product family comes with high-performance optics and impressive total elevation travel to dominate the competition.


LRP S5_318-50_Hunt_MOA_2021-384 copy.png


White Plains, NY – Oct 15, 2021 (Embargoed unitl October 15, 2021 – 9:00 a.m. EST)


ZEISS announces the release of the all-new ZEISS LRP S5 first focal plane riflescopes. The new long-range riflescopes from ZEISS include high-performance optics, best-in-class total elevation travel, highly repeatable, precise, and tactile turrets as part of a compact and heavy-duty riflescope – with a daytime visible illuminated reticle. Furthermore, these scopes offer two new first focal plane reticle designs – and are available in either milliradian (MRAD) or minute-of-angle (MOA). The ZEISS LRP S5 is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany and is built to withstand up to a massive 1,500 g-force of recoil. The product family consists of two models: 318-50 and 525-56 and is available in four unique configurations – all with 34 mm main tubes.
“For longer-range shooting, precision is crucial. With our new ZEISS LRP S5 we have decisively expanded our product line to provide an elite riflescope that can dominate at every competition,” states Kyle Brown – Director of Marketing and Product for Carl Zeiss SBE, LLC. “With the compact and heavy-duty design of these riflescopes we have validated and proven that they are ready to tackle the toughest shooting competitions and the most difficult hunts”, emphasized Brown.


The optical system delivers exceptional image quality and renders the finest of details.


The premium optical design utilizes ZEISS Fluoride lens elements, SCHOTT glass and ZEISS’s proprietary T-Star lens coatings for optimum color fidelity, image brightness, exceptional resolution and edge-to-edge sharpness within the entire field-of-view. The scopes deliver 90% light transmission to the eye, clearer visuals, faster target identification and validation of the finer details down range. The exterior facing lenses are final coated with ZEISS LotuTec protective lens coating process for anti-fogging and to repel water, dust, dirt, fingerprints and more.

Tactile and Highly Repeatable Turrets – Precise shot placement, regardless of distance.



The ZEISS LRP S5 riflescopes offer an external elevation turret with larger font sizes and dual row engraving. The turret also incorporates the mechanically robust ZEISS Ballistic Stop feature, which provides a rock-solid return to zero. In addition, the all-new ZEISS External Locking Windage Turret (ELWT) feature allows the shooter to pull out on the locking collar, make necessary adjustments, and then lock-in the selected setting.
The MOA-based turrets are adjustable with .25 MOA click values and offer 30 MOA of travel per rotation. Each click is audible and provides a tactile confirmation for every adjustment. The MRAD turret features a more pronounced click at whole MRAD intervals.
The 3-18x50 and 5-25x56 scopes offer best-in-class - 140 MOA or 40.7 MRAD - total elevation adjustment which enables shooters to engage targets up to 1500 yards - and beyond. When combined with the side parallax adjustment, infinitely variable reticle illumination, and a European-style fast focus eyepiece the ZEISS LRP S5 allows the shooter to precisely engage the most distant targets.



Two new illuminated reticles ZF-MOAi and ZF-MRi provide intuitive aiming solutions
ZEISS LRP S5_318-50_ZF-MRi Reticle Subtension.jpg


ZEISS also introduces two all-new First Focal Plane (FFP) reticles. The ZF-MOAi and the ZF-MRi illuminated reticles represent MOA and MRAD smart reticle designs respectively. Each incorporate distinct, clean, and easy-to-understand reference marks along the main horizontal and vertical lines of the reticle; and they offer relevant windage hold-offs in the field-of-view below centerline. Both offer fine line reticle subtensions and floating center dots to serve the demands of precision shooters and long-range hunters alike.
Only the center section of each reticle illuminates to provide a finer point of aim while viewed against dirty targets or in harsher lighting conditions. The diffractive reticle illumination technology is digitally controlled, creates an ultra-bright daylight visible point-of-aim, and has an auto-off feature controlled by angle and time sensors. These two new reticles provide very intuitive aiming solutions for improved shooting speeds and for extremely precise shot placement.


Pre Orders Being Taken Soon at MHSA

Developed with extensive expert feedback


“The entire ZEISS team is excited to introduce the LRP S5 scopes to the long-range precision shooting and hunting communities,” said Brown. “These new first focal plane riflescopes are going to make a lot of precision shooters take notice. Packed with features that provide real-world benefits, they deliver exceptional performance in the most challenging shooting situations. The ZEISS LRP S5 riflescopes were developed with extensive feedback from precision shooting competitors and shooting instructors and were purpose-built to dominate the competition”.



More information and availability

Rifle Scopes How many turn past zero?

curious as to how many when setting turret back to zero after dialing elevation turn past zero then creep up to zero?.think that might be a problem for me[not doing it] zero will shift after a few shots. zero'ed then shot at distance turned turret back to the 100yd zero and was .2 high, then corrected by turning turret and went 2 tenths low. after a few more shots[maybe 4] was at the original zero. thinking if I go past and work up to the dope I will eliminate that. thinking the springs might not of taken a set. am I correct in this?
