Making sense of Zero and dialing

I am perplexed with this. Still fairly new so perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

6mm Dasher, 30in barrel. I zeroed at 100y Used a free ballistic calculator to get the dial at 500y, showed 9.1 but what was accurate on paper was 8.5
No problem, environment etc affects.

Zeroing temperature was 68F and this was at 13F, if that affects.

300y - calculator showed 3.7, actual was... 0.5 up

What doesn't make sense is how my actual dial is up by only 0.5 at 300y when I zeroed at 100y
I haven't had a chance since then to verify at 100y again, that's my next step. Is there something am I missing or for some reason my zero changed drastically on its own?


Thank you

Remove Blue loctite stain from wood?

I thought there was a gunsmithing forum, but I guess it went away. I put a tube of blue loctite down on a table a the lid was totally secure, so I got a thumb sized stain on the wood. I think it’s polyurethaned, the table is like 30 years old, but this is the worst I’ve done to it. In the doghouse.

Heat is out. I see acetone mentioned, but I’m worried about the finish. Anyone have experience or thoughts?

What is blues loctite? Some kind of cyanoglue?

SOLD M700 LRI Built 6.5x47 Lapua Barreled Action

Selling a custom 700 build in 6.5 Lapua with less than 50 rounds down the barrel. Here are all the specs, all work listed below was done by Long Rifles Inc they even stamped LRI on the barrel. - $1200

Remington 700 short action (bought new) blueprinted, drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws
Bartlein barrel 22" chambered in 6.5x47 Lapua, medium Palma contour, 5/8x24 threads, chambered and installed
Bolt was time/tig, fluted, and striker pin bushing installed
Everything cerakoted black
Badger 20moa rail
Jewel trigger

It has over $2000 into it with all the parts and work

Only selling it because it never gets shot, I still have the rest of the initial 100 rounds I bought for it

I do believe it can be rechambered to 6.5 creedmoor without too much effort. I picked 6.5x47 Lapua because I use to reload before I had a family and kids

Not really looking for trades but I'll list a few
Zermatt tl3 or origin action (stainless)
Armasight sidekick or possibly jockey
Darpa xm3 stock

I accept most forms of digital payment, my PPff doesn't seem to work because it's a business account so you will have to add 4%. Shipping is included in the cost as long as your FFL will let me direct ship to them with a copy of my driver's license. If they require FFL to FFL only then add $50

EPA laundering billions to NGO's... Which are funding Democrats and socialists


Hey, look. Stacy Abrams again. No wonder she was prosecuting Trump and trying to keep him from gaining the White House

She is at the center of another giant fraud scheme to fund democratic socialists.

Shocked... not!

SOLD RPR 300WM

Looking to sell my Ruger Precision in 300 win Mag. This thing is an absolute tank. Comes with one mag, the vortex viper(6.5-20 x50) with sunshade, upgraded bolt knob, bubble level, and picatinny mount (small) under the arca rail. The muzzle break will be with it but off the rifle because I currently have an ASR brake that will stay with me as so the suppressor. Will come with about 100rds of assorted ammo. Will throw in the hard case too for that price.


asking $2,500 shipped

also might trade for a rimx or vudoo. PM with questions.

Mini scout light

I am looking for a mini scout light. Right now the surefire mini 350s are on sale at primary arms for $210

But part of me wonders if I should get an arisaka 18350 or the mod light version if it, both are around $280+

This is going on the pic rail of a Tavor for Run n Gun white light matches. Tail cap doesn’t have to be crazy, I would just turn on during the load and make ready portion so I don’t need a tape switch at the moment. Ranges sub 200 yards

Anyone who has tried an arisaka or mod light, are they basically worth the extra $100 over the surefire?

Long range training rifle to grow into (details included)

My apologies for retreading well-worn ground. Also for being verbose, but I hope to provide useful details that will allow those with greater knowledge to guide me. I will say upfront that I have spent the last couple of weeks reading as much as I could find in terms of individual reviews and comparisons, including here, on forums such as rokslide, LRH, and reloading, and on reddit.

I currently own a Tikka T3x Lite in 6.5CM and a Bergara B14R in 22LR; both are phenomenal rifles that I have reached .5 MOA with - I am the limiting factor. However, the T3x is my hunting rifle, and, with one of their pencil barrels, its accuracy opens up after 10 to 15 rounds. The Bergara is only good to about 300m, and that's on still days - even gentle winds send subsonic 22 match ammo sailing to the sides. My nearby range is 50-200m, but my friends and I have recently discovered multiple ranges that go out to between 600 and 1000m within driving distance. We intend to start training on longer range shooting, estimating windage from vegetation, all the fun stuff. I have begun competing at my local club in 22LR 100m bench matches, and may join the 200m high power rifle NMC matches with this new rifle. Additionally, my best friend just got an MRAD, and I got to see the difference that was firing a heavy rifle with a muzzle break compared to my Tikka, as well as a completely different trigger.

Regarding reloading: I do not currently reload. I already find reloading fascinating, and have spent hours reading other people's discussions about powders, seating depths, barrel wear, etc. If you could not tell, I am an engineer. I think I would love reloading, and once I move (projected to happen in approximately 6 months), if I find myself shooting sufficient quantities, I will invest in reloading equipment. I have already been saving all my shot Tikka brass.

What I am looking for: A high-precision, chassis-based, bolt-action rifle that won't break the bank.
A couple of wants:
  • A long, two-stage trigger - I found the MRAD trigger to be more to my liking than either my Tikka or Bergara, even though both have VERY crisp triggers. I'm weird. The take up helps me prepare my shot. This looks like something I am unlikely to get in a noncustom rifle.
  • While not mandatory, I really like the quick change barrel/bolt head systems that some of the rifles have, so that I could theoretically bang out a whole bunch of cheap .308 for practice, then swap to a hotter 6.5CM or even PRC for competition (depending on range). Is this silly, compared to just getting a 6.5CM and using prefits?
  • A heavy rifle with a heavy barrel - something around 15 lbs.
  • The chassis must have (or have as an accessory) something akin to an NV bridge - I wish to use an over the bore bipod.
Cost definitely matters. I'd like to keep the rifle itself sub $2500, but I could stretch that.

The first rifle that caught my eye and sent me down this rabbithole was the Seekins Precision Havak HIT Pro M3. It checks nearly every box, except that it would need a number of modifications from stock form to get there (weights, accessory bridge, new trigger), driving the price up. Still, is Seekins the best company, and this the best rifle, here?
Then I saw the
Bergara Premier Competition Rifle. $2300 at EuroOptic, uses MPA's chassis....I'm already a bit biased towards Bergara because of my current rifle. But while looking up that MPA chassis, I stumbled across the MPA Vanquish/Matrix/BA PMR Pro Rifle II: which guarantees 0.5 MOA accuracy, one of their gorgeous chasses, a variant of ARC's Coup de Grace action, although it is unclear if you can change the caliber as easily as the Seekins.
And then there is the
Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro, also coming in hot with the 0.5 MOA guarantee, interchangeable 26" barrels, and fries.
Which of these is best? Or should I find a gently-used custom, something like this: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...a-gen-1-matrix-chassis.7248865/#post-12043172
To those who have read all of this, many thanks! Please, share your wisdom with me!
