Yet another question...I'm going down the rabbit hole as of late and would appreciate your perspectives.

I have two rifles and two scopes...and I'm weighing which scope makes the most sense for the rifles in question. Neither will be used for hunting. Both for shooting paper and steel. So here goes...

Rifle #1: LMT MWS, SSR-E trigger, 20" Stainless 6.5CM
-Gets 2592 fps with 147 ELD-M. Subsonic at about 1400 yards
-Historically a 1 MOA gun with the .308 barrel. Don't have enough time behind the 6.5CM to say, but certainly no worse.
-Used to wear an early USO 1.8-10x42 FFP Mil illuminated. Heavy, but low profile. Now mounted on a 20" M40ish .308 build but could always slap it back on and put the NXS on the M40 thing.

Rifle #2: Tikka T3X TACT A1, 24" Stainless .308
-No velocities recorded yet, but probably 2650 fps with 175 SMK. Subsonic at about 1025 yards.
-Printed a 5 shot .57" group with 168 SMK, but first and only time behind the rifle.
-First outing it wore a NXS 3.5-15x50.

Scope #1: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50, MOAR, SFP

Scope #2: Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56, MOAR, SFP

Given the effective ranges of the particular cartridges, the physical size/weight of the two platforms and the two scopes (to include height over rail), magnification range and any other variables I'm not considering...which scope would you mount to which rifle and why?

Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 Mri/MRAD in stock $2,499.00 https://cstactical.com/zeiss-lrp-s3-6-36x56/


The ZEISS LRP S3 first focal plane riflescopes provide the best-in-class total elevation travel. In the world of long-range rimfire competition, the little 22 LR cartridge is frequently pushed beyond its intended limits. In turn, the capabilities and performance of the riflescope are tested at the extreme - with a key limiting factor for many scopes being sufficient elevation travel.

ZEISS LRP S3 636-56 offers the best solution for medium to extreme long-range shooting. The 6x-36x magnification range is combined with a 32 MRAD elevation turret which supports more precise shot placements.

All of the instructions I have found for setting up an expander die is just to open the mouth of the neck for bullet seating vs. resizing a bottleneck to a different caliber. I have an RCBS 3-die set. Can someone provide info on setting the die up? How far should I screw the expander down to resize the neck? Thanks.

I'm looking for something that might not exist, at least as far as my Google skill is concerned.

I hunt a lot, and all over the country. My vision is some type of Goose Neck trailer with a tilt deck or low-boy style deck, long enough to carry a bunch of Japanese quarter horses or a bigger SxS; maybe both.

What I'm struggling to find is an option that has some type of overland type setup for remote camping. I don't need the creature comforts, but would pay for them if there was an all-in-one type deal. Ideally looking for something 4-season.

I'm not looking for a Toy Hauler / Camper setup. Have one. Love it. Need something lighter that can take some abuse.

Anyone come across something of this nature?

Listing up a new, unfired Baer Super Varmint .204R.
Les personally shot this one for a .5moa group. He has not built them for years.

PM for photos.

CarverMaster stock duplicator. Can be used for guitars, table legs, etc as well.

Located in South Texas but willing to drive halfway to meet. Really don't want to ship this one but if someone wants it bad enough I can break it down and sell all the parts as I got them when new without the table. I built the table from 3/4" ply and used T slots so the tail stock can be easily positioned. Routered all the edges, finished in clear coat. Comes with everything to make a stock! Will include the router.

A link to the original kit from eBay:


These don't come with the router or the table and are currently going for ~$1200. This one has been used very little, I just don't have space for it anymore.

Asking $650 or trade me something cool for it.

I’m listing the above SR 15 Mod 2 rifle and Mod 2 MLOK upper for sale.
Upper is in box, unopened. Rifle untouched.
The upper would need to be SBR’ed to put on a rifle. This has not been done. They are separate items never even in the same safe. The rifle speaks for itself. It has not been touched since shipped. This is the first time I’ve even opened the box.
I’ll send pictures to interested party or post later if I can get them to upload. The items have all papers and extras they are shipped with.
10,000 shipped to your FFL.
No trades.

Does anyone know where I can get an M24A2 barrel done up with the AEM M24 suppressor seating ledge?

Bonus question, what is a good action to work off of? I’ve heard the modern Remington actions are junk.

1400$ shipped for the optic, add $150 for the mount. Optic box included obviously.

Selling my 204 ruger upper. This was originally build by precision firearms, I have an email from them to confirm. It is their upper and I had the handguard changed to a Midwest industries in order to have an adjustable gas block put on it. It does come with the superlative arms .936 gas block installed. Also originally had a 24" barrel Lija barrel that I had cut down to 19.5" to run supressed. It is threaded 5/8-24. This is an older model but it still shoots really well. Asking $800 shipped

Thus the rifle feeds, firing pin is OK, Trigger group works, BCG is in battery....
What could have been my problem?

Thank you in advance for the assistance

Any good tricks to tune magazines for the 6 GT? Rifle has a master piece arms chassis and has some feeding issues.
Thoughts?

Gentleman, today I have something "special" for you. I am presenting you with an opportunity to join the latest and greatest internet controversy. I am selling my RAL8000 TommyBuilt T7 and a whole package of goodies with it. This gun has spent the majority of its time under my ownership going back and forth to TommyBuilt, and I estimate that it has around 600rds through it from myself and the folks at TB. During its last trip home, the gas system and BCG were rebuilt with the latest iteration of parts and tuned in order to ensure "reliable" cycling. After receiving the pistol back I fired 50rds suppressed and 50rds unsuppressed with 0 malfunctions and proper bolt hold open on each magazine. That being said, I cannot make any guarantees about the future performance of this weapon system. I can however guarantee that it will continue to look extremely cool.

Included with the T7 Pistol are:

• Custom TommyBuilt Tactical Pelican Case
• 4x HK German made 30rd magazines
• RAL8000 Cerakoted MP7 Stock with an HK backplate/stock adapter
• TommyBuilt MP7 style foregrip in RAL8000
• SureFire MP7 Muzzle Device with shims
• 450rds of Fiocchi Range Dynamics 4.6x30mm
• TBT Patch and various T7 stickers

I am asking $6200 for this package. Shipping + Insurance is included. Pistol and goodies shipped separately. Payment method is open. Only thing I won't take is Venmo.

If you are located in the fine state of Texas, the B&T MP7 Suppressor is also available. The locking collar on it has been serviced by B&T, and the suppressor has 50rds through it. $6700 for the package including the suppressor.
