Long Range Gas Gun Optics

My 6.5 SP10M 22” came in recently and I’m really having a hard time picking glass for it. I do any and all types of long range shooting at my family ranch. We stretch out to 1 mile occasionally but typically shoot 1400 and in. A 7-35 ATACR seems like an easy choice but it is quite heavy and lacking bottom end for the coyote hunting we regularly do at the ranch.

I beat the crap out of guns/optics and need something strong, not too heavy, good fov at bottom end and a reticle that works at the lower end.

My top picks currently are
Burris XTR 3 5.5-30 (reticle super thin)
Mk5 5-25 (I worry about tracking, rigidity)
NX8 2.5-20 (wide fov but reticle is useless at bottom end)
NX8 4-30 (enough elevation for my mile shooting?)
Atacr 4-20 and 5-25 and 7-35 (heavy for already heavy rifle)

Please help me stop tormenting myself over this choice.

Note: 12 oclock red dot will be mounted above optic likely in a badger comm max

Firearms Remington 7mm RUM stainless barrel

I bought this from a Remington collector who was downsizing for the action. He told me it was unfired and that appears to be the case. I want to build a 7PRC with this action so have no use for the barrel or stock. Including a photo of the bolt face for reference. I did a bit of research and it looks like a fair price would be $225 for barrel and stock TYD. If you dont want the stock I'll just trash it, it might be good for a cheap hunting rig but thats about it. Open to offers but that seems reasonable. It may take a couple days to have it removed. Can take mor photos.

Hunting & Fishing Ran into a small (ok LARGE) group of hogs and put the 6creed to work on them.

Put the ole RPR 6creed to work. Love this setup smooth shooting with the omega 300 and proof carbon fiber barrel. I ran into a pretty good group of hogs here and put a few on the group. Tell me how you thought I did, and what I did right and wrong.

Mighty Armory Contact Phone Number?

Can someone PM me a phone number for Mighty Armory? I placed an order two days ago and my computer auto populated the incorrect shipping address. I didn't realize it until I received the invoice via email. Directions in the email say to reply with any question or concerns. I replied to the email explaining the situation, I filled out the form in the "Contact us" section, again explaining the error, and I started a chat in their system with the same information. I haven't received any communication from them. Thank you kindly in advance.

B14R Bedding

Is needing a factory stocked and barrel B14R worth the effort? Has anyone done it?

My older green mountain barreled 10/22 shoots better than the Bergera. CCI green tags are a solid 1 MOA in the 10/22. The B14R can be all over the place at 50 and 100. Think I want to bed before considering a barrel. Also wondering if a better stock would make it worth it. Enjoy toying with things to make them shoot.

Christmas Build, shout and thanks thread

So I made a snafu and had two barrels chambered for an Impact 787 when I actually had a 777. Trying to find a 787 with a magnum bolt proved to be extremely difficult, until I talked with Altus. 15 minutes later and one phone call later, they were able to secure an action and I had it about a week later.

Trying to find two new 7mm blanks wasn’t the smartest idea once we decided we wanted to try the NF Steel Challenge next year. A call to Custom Rifle Barrels and they had two barrels sent to the smith. @StraightJacketArmory constantly comes in clutch and had these to me in no time. They have become my go to.

I wanted to start this thread because we always read about long wait times, out of stock items, and bad service. Making a friendly phone call or two to some of the vendors that support our sport proved to help me remedy a situation that I created for myself. Now, any tips for the NF Challenge send them my way! 😂

Build list:
Impact 787
28” 1:8 CRB barrel in their comp contour
Chambered in 7PRC by Straight Jacket Armory
XLR Envy Pro chassis
TBAC Magnus-SRR
TT Diamond
ZCO 8-40

New member

Hey all,

New member joining from western MN. There are no competitions in my area but we have private land to shoot out to 1k yards. Pertinent interests here are reloading, long range shooting, building rifles/light gunsmithing, archery, hunting (whitetail, small game, coyotes day and night with thermal), and all manners of outdoors pursuits/camping/fieldcraft.

I've visited the site plenty of times and always found it to be informative. Glad to be here and, as always, keep learning.

SAC modular sizing die setup

What's a good neck/shoulder bushing and expander mandrel size combo for the SAC modular sizing die for 6.5cm? Im thinking 286 for the bushing and 262 for the mandrel? I got the 283 (which is technically for 25cm) and 261 for the expander mandrel. I watched and followed Gregs (from primal rights) video on how to determine what bushing and expander mandrel sizes to get and now when sizing my brass the shoulder will bump the 2 thou i want but is only sizing the top 2/3rds of the neck so now I've got to find another combo that works correctly. I set up the die using their YouTube instructional video and i also asked sac if this combo was ok for 6.5cm before getting them and they said yes but obviously it's not working out so well. so now I need some help to find a combo that sizes my cases correctly and effectively. My brass has 13.5 neck wall thickness, which is why I chose 283 to get me about 5 thou squeeze to then open back up with 261 (a little over 3 thou after spring back)
Thanks
