Todd Hodnett in his article talked about running .338 lapua from 20 inch barrels and building a future 20 inch .300 Norma.

Anyone running a 20 inch barrel in these calibers. I love shorter barrels with a suppressor on the end.

Was looking for some examples of rigs like this.

I have a build sheet from sako collectors that shows it left the factory in September 1958. Factory original barrel and look darn good for its age. Stock was replaced at some point with this heavy target stock. Pm with any questions or trade ideas.

I have a Mosin Nagant 91/30 Izhevsk rifle that I have Modified that so far, shoots three shots MOA. I like it, I like Mosins along with Mausers and prefer to shoot Older guns than new stuff. I do not have a picture of my group but will go shoot one for those who believe there may be some previous posters here that are full of shit and lie about their rifles and ability to do as Bill Clinton lies about everything so here is a picture of my rifle and my group was shot with a handload and to be noted; My rifle shoots less than 2 MOA with PPU 150's factory stuff but loves my 49 grains of 4320 and a 311 Sierra 150 a lot more. I do not shoot off benches and am not a benchrest shooter and never will be. I play in the woods mostly, you know, like the name of this site? Not Bench shooters Hide, it is Snipers Hide. Simo shot a hello fo lot of Germans but not off a bench and neither did Carlos, which by the way is a fellow Arkie so start kissing my ass now! LMAO

So... factory rifle (Sav 10BA) that I've had for a while. Long story short, it's one of those guns that's always been a thorn in my side for one reason or another. Last year, after putting a new (NSS/Criterion) pre-fit barrel on it, I realized the scope rail was loose - again. Figured I'd fix that thing, once and for all. Got the JB weld out, and proceeded to (intentionally) permanently bed the rail (Farrell steel 20 moa) to the receiver. Cleaned it up, and let it sit to cure. Later, I was a little afraid that I maybe didn't get enough release agent on the screw threads and/or in the holes in the receiver, because I couldn't loosen the screws. Ah, well. The damned thing was glued down tight, done.

Except... the gun continued to disappoint. Couldn't find a load that worked. Imagine if you will, a 20" .308 Win that doesn't appear to like Berger 175 BTs, IMR 4064, Lapua brass or 210M primers - might break 1 moa on a good day. Weird, right? Checked action screws, swapped scopes, etc. Nada. Out of desperation, I tried some FGMM S175MK factory ammo. A *little* better, maybe. Borrowed a different chassis from a friend, and tried it again with some Berger factory 185 OTM ammo. First group was good, easy half moa. And it went downhill from there. 1.25-1.75 moa, two-group, shotgun pattern, stringing, etc.

Got it home, debating WTF to try next. Took the scope off, put it on the shelf. Took the chassis off to take back to it's owner. On a whim, I grabbed a torx key, and tried the rail screws. I mean, it sure *shot* like something was loose. And... while none of the screws were exactly 'loose', they sure as $hit weren't what I'd call tight, either. And they *all* came out, vs. before when two of them wouldn't turn at all. The rail was still on there, wouldn't come off with finger / hand pressure. Grabbed a small 8 oz ball peen and tapped the back of the rail and... it slid right off.

So now I've got a receiver with JB Weld residue on top, and a steel scope rail with JB Weld residue on the bottom, and no bleedin' idea how in the flying f$ck that joint came loose like that. The gun was either in the safe (most of the time) or in a case to and from the range. It wasn't exactly left out exposed to hot/cold or chemicals or anything that should have loosened the bond.

I guess my questions are a) best way to remove the remaining residue without (further) damaging anything, and b) ideas as to what might have gone wrong with the previous bedding attempt that it failed like this? Bad batch, bad mix, something else?

Just got my 3rd S&B 5-45 High Power .... Previous ones are...MT .5cm LRR Reticle .

This latest one is DTII+ and .1mrad....GR2ID Reticle...

Having both the 6-36 and 10-60 S&B,s.....the 5-45 is right up there optically!!
Unlike many I prefer the old layout of separate illumination dial, and prefer the older focus dial..

I have been looking for one or the other but have had no luck. I've tried several vendors on the Hide, but all are sold out. Can anyone recommend a vendor that has them in stock? Terminus Zues SA inlet.
Thanks

I know there are several new suppressor companies out there now. What I'm looking for is the most noise reduction and a very lightweight can.

On Sunday this week, Sept. 29, I shot fifteen ten-shot groups at 100 yards with a good lot of Center X. One of them was the best I've had the pleasure of seeing first hand. The caliper shows the outside-to-outside measurement.

Of course not all groups were like this one. The fifteen group average was under 0.930" center-to-center.



Yesterday, Oct. 2, I used a different rifle and a different ammo at the same distance. I shot ten ten-shot groups and had the pleasant surprise to see two of the ten looking nice. Again, the caliper shows the outside-to-outside dimensions.

Again, not all groups were equally good, but the ten group average was under 0.850" center-to-center.

Picked this up last month and haven’t even taken it to the range. Far too nice of a tool to just sit on my shelf in the box! Will come with everything that it came with from the factory including the original box, paperwork, neoprene cover, etc. It is very nice condition, so nice that most would probably sell it as new. No scratches or imperfections of any kind.

Happy to get any additional information, photos, videos, etc. Also happy to share my cell number with potential buyer to prove ownership. Price includes shipping via UPS Ground within the lower 48.

Paid a little over $1000 for it. Looking for $750 shipped.

I put together a 22creedmoor today for a friend, Kelbly Atlas Tactical in a KRG Bravo, and I’m having some magazine issues. The mag is able to get up too high where the feed lips are stopping the bolt from closing. Easy enough to just push the mag down before feeding but I don’t want him to have to do that in a hunting situation. I’ve looked at other threads of feeding issues but couldn’t find one that matched this problem. Currently using a plastic MDT AICS mag. We tried the plastic magpul AICS magazine from my 22creedmoor and it was a little better but could still get in the way if pressure was put on the magazine or if you slapped it in forcefully. I don’t have any metal mags to try but that may be the solution. I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem or could think of any solutions. I thought about loosening the action screws but that wouldn’t raise it enough without the action just being loose in there. Rifle is a tack driver, already has a kill under its belt with less than a box through it, I just want to fix the feeding issue.

Selling a vortex AMG uh-1 gen 2 in excellent condition. Can’t really find a mark on it anywhere. Glass is pristine. Comes with box, manual and a battery.

New guy here from Anchorage, AK. I pastor a church up here and keep busy with my family. I took Frank and Marc's class at Upper Susitna Shooters' back in 2019. I'm still very much a novice and work and family responsibilities haven't allowed me as much time at the range as I'd like. But I've made a bit of progress with my shooting and reloading and am continuing to fine tune things. I've filled the freezer a couple of times, but am hoping to do a bit more precision work and maybe try PRS.

I won't be posting as much as I have way more listening to do than talking, but I look forward to learning from you all!

Anyone else tried to slap a Nox35 in front of a day scope and see how it performs? Curiosity killed the cat. I tried but could never get it close to zeroed. It was more than 10 mils to the right of where I was aiming so that was a no go.

Enter the Black optex Zero device for a PVS14.

I've been on the hunt for one of these for a while and finally found one. I initially bought it to use as a buddy setup with my PVS14. The design they have "works" but it never holds zero due to the up, down, left, right shift allowed by how the PVS mount utilizes threaded hole. I got the idea to pick up a wilcox SkeetIR flip to side mount that uses a dovetail mount. Cut the arm off of the initial mount that comes with the black optex deal and bam. Repeatable zero, solid mounting, and retains quick attach.

Scope info used ZCO 4-20 in a 1.5" high spuhr. Fence is 411 yards. House is 452.

Below are some pictures of the Nox35, PVS14 WP 2700 FOM with no illuminator Black optex 3x lens attached and a UTCX. all are on 20X.

The results are Surprising. I would say the UTCX is still better in the clarity/definition but man the NOX isnt bad. As far as pixelation goes, The NOX is actually better than the UTCX. This is what was surprising.

What do you guys think?
