Firearms WTB: Noveske NSR N4 13.5” “Skinny” Rail - or I start killing puppies!

Noveske Saga Part III: Retarded Jedi gonna start killin’ Yunglings!

Part I recap: 14.5” Proof CF barrel too long for 15” NSR rail. Jedi of the Retarded Order Orders 13.5” Gen4 NSR instead of just chopping 15”. Sells 15” & factory 13.7 barrel.

Part II recap: 13.5” NSR G4 arrives. G4 too fat for G3 upper. Mismatch makes Retard Jedi launch into OCD fit of rage. Retard Jedi goes back to Noveske website where 13.5” N4 rails are gone forever. Scours internet only to discover they have become extinct. Has no 15” to chop cuz sold in Part I. Turns to Dark Side, wants to kill puppies because they exist.

Part III, a New Hope: Yungling killing Retard Jedi flees to Gallieens home planet of Snipers Hide in hopes of procuring the last 13.5” N4 rail in the known galaxy, knowing full well that relying on the gaggle of numbnuts that inhabits Snipers Hide is only going to result in mockery and disappointment, but Retard gonna Retard.

Sell RJ your N4 rail, regardless of condition. I’m desperate and puppies gonna pay.

Shooting 6mm ARC through a 6.5mm or 6mm Suppressor?

Good day ladies and gents,

Background: I currently own a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt comp/precision rifle, i do not own a suppressor with it. I am looking to purchase a 6mm ARC precision based semi auto rifle. I would like to purchase a suppressor with it; I have been looking at the KGM R6, KGM R65, and the KGM T65. I am unsure if I want to buy a single 6.5mm for both rifles or get separate cans for each rifle. I am worried that purchasing a 6.5mm can is too much of a difference when it comes to precision base shooting compared to the 6mm can, i am also wondering if there may be gas issues between the two. (I am slightly new to suppressors)

Question: Is it worth/important getting the KGM R6 (6mm specific can) and purchase a separate can for my 6.5mm Creedmoor? Or is it best to just get either the KGM R65 or KGM T65 (6.5mm cans)?

I am NOT getting a 30 cal suppressor, although I do appreciate the lovely comments that tell me otherwise lol.

Thank you for all that help!
-Luke

Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

All of the observations, conclusions and opinions that follow are strictly my own views. There will be others who see things differently or don’t like the test procedures, I can only do my best. I hope this review helps some Hide members who are wondering about the Burris Eliminator 6, or integrated aiming solution scopes in general. My view is that this type of scope is the future of long-range shooting for some, but not all, application scenarios.

Background:

I have been following the development of electro optical scopes with integrated laser range finding (LRF) and/or ballistic aiming solutions displayed on the scope reticle for over a decade. Until now I haven’t felt that the combination of optical quality, targeting accuracy and price justified an investment. The Burris Eliminator 6 (E6) was reported to be a significant step up in optical and aiming accuracy compared to previous Eliminator models, and the price is reasonable for what it does, so I decided to purchase an E6 to see if it is “good enough” for some of my long range shooting applications. For my purposes, I defined “good enough” to mean:
  • optical performance that provides clear target acquisition, id and aiming on approximately 10” to 18” target hit zones, hopefully out to at least 1,000 yards with an accurate long range rifle and cartridge, and
  • a combination of ranging accuracy, ballistic solution calculation accuracy and displayed aiming point accuracy with better than ½ MOA (0.15 mil) total aiming error.
I find it difficult to evaluate an optic without comparing it to another optic. In this case it’s also helpful to compare the E6 ballistic and aiming solution with another proven solution. As a comparison system, I decided to use:
  • a Vortex Razor Gen 3 6-36x56 EBR-7 MRAD (RG3),
  • a Kestrel 5700 Elite for determining environmental conditions and calculating the ballistic aiming solution, and
  • a Vortex Fury 5000 AB paired with the Kestrel to measure range, bearing and inclination used to calculate the ballistic solution.
I decided the best way to determine the accuracy of the E6 aiming solution and compare it with the Kestrel / Fury / Razor system is to use it with an accurate long rage rifle, record long range shooting accuracy, and then swap the Razor out for the E6 and shoot the same targets to compare the target hit rate and impact location accuracy for the two configurations. For the rifle I chose a 6.5 Creedmoor with 24” Palma barrel, muzzle brake to aid in spotting hits and misses, and 140 gr ELDM ammo. This rifle and ammo combination has proven to be accurate out to 1,200 yards and has the smallest vertical stringing in my collection.

1714079360749.jpeg


Here is my latest zero group for this rifle to get an idea of the accuracy:

1714079417802.jpeg


Recently I upgraded from a monocular LRF and older Kestrel to a Kestrel 5700 Elite AB paired with a Fury 5000 AB. This system has the Applied Ballistics custom bullet drag models, sends the range, direction of fire and inclination from the Fury to the Kestrel and the Kestrel does the ballistics, wind hold and then sends the firing solution back to the Fury heads up display. Before purchasing the E6, this was the fastest targeting workflow for long-range shooting I have trained with. I assumed any change in target hits and misses when swapping from the Kestrel / Fury / Razor system to the E6 would be due to the difference in optics and ballistic solution performance.

Targeting Workflow Comparison:

For those not familiar with the targeting workflow differences between the E6 and separate LRF, Kestrel (or other weather/ballistics solution device) and conventional turret or tree reticle scope, here is a comparison:

1714079972369.png


E6 Form Factor and Aesthetics:

Unlike some past versions of electro optic scopes with built in LRF and ballistics that need special mounting systems and/or look somewhat odd due to extra appendages to house the LRF and electronics, the E6 is a normal looking scope. Someone who doesn’t know what it is would think it looks like a scope the Burris XTR or XTR Pro line, except for the smaller turrets:

1714080054871.jpeg


1714080073516.jpeg


Programming the E6:

The E6 is programmed using the Burris Connect App on your phone or tablet:

1714080112554.jpeg


I won’t go into all the ins and outs of using the app to program the scope because there are several good online sources for this and the instruction manual that comes with the scope is pretty good, albeit not as complete as one would like. Here is one of many overview links, albeit a little salesy:

Login to view embedded media
When programming the E6, I adjusted the Burris Connect app bullet velocity so that the come-up value predicted in the Burris Connect app dope card matched the come-up on the Kestrel 7500 Elite range card. I have tuned the bullet velocity for the Kestrel 5700 for the cartridge used in this test and have confirmed many times it provides reliable and accurate hold over and hold off (provided I get the wind right which is always the weak link).

When the Kestrel uses the Applied Ballistics custom drag models and the velocity tuning procedure is used to match specific rifle and cartridge shooting results with the Kestrel output, the system allows for reliable first shot hits out to at least 1,200 yards (as far as I have shot). In the testing reported here, even though the wind was quite high, the Kestrel / Fury / Razor system produced first round hits near center of mass out to 960 yards. The E6 seems to use either G1 or G7 BC instead of the AB custom drag models, but with proper velocity and/or BC value tuning good results out to 1,000 yards and beyond for long-range cartridges can be achieved with G7 ballistics.

In the test results and conclusions I discuss some questions that came up regarding how the Burris Connect App and the E6 operate, specifically where the E6 gets the information required to set up the ballistics solution, and more specifically the density altitude, temperature and environmental conditions at the time of zero.

Optical Quality and Reticle Comparisons:

In my opinion, the Vortex Razor Gen 3 6-36x50 is better in all optical aspects as compared to the E6. The resolution, contrast, color rendition, and eye box are all perceivably better for me. I’m not an optics expert like DLO, Glassaholic and others, so the differences need to be meaningful for me to notice. However, the optical quality of the E6 is respectable and works pretty well IMO when you consider the value of the reduced targeting workflow with the integrated targeting electronics. The optical quality of the E6 reminds me of the Burris XTR III line, maybe the XTR Pro line. The zoom ratio, size and other aspects of the E6 are similar to the XTR line so it may be based on the same basic optical platform family. I have two XTRs and the optical performance is acceptable out to 1,000 yards and the turrets are accurate, so I like them quite a bit for the price. The E6 is about twice the price as the XTR line, but it has all the integrated electronics and laser for the automated targeting solution, representing a good value IMO.

The E6 has an X177 SFP reticle with hash marks along the horizontal cross hair and little crosses on a regularly spaced grid for the reticle tree. The elevation aiming solution is displayed as a dot on the vertical cross hair, and the heads-up display provides the windage hold off value measured in the number of horizontal crosses from the aiming dot.

1714080339963.jpeg


1714080368003.jpeg


Because there is a lot of empty space between the horizontal crosses on the E6 tree reticle, it is not as easy to hold for a precise aiming solution as compared to dialing the turrets and holding along the main horizontal cross hair in a conventional turret scope like the Vortex Razor Gen 3, or as compared to holding over and holding off on a mil or MOA tree reticle with more closely spaced hash marks, again like the Razor Gen 3. The sparse reticle marks is something Burris can easily, and should improve in their next version.

I have not been able to find the specs for E6 X177 reticle subtension dimensions and I did not have time to precisely measure them on a calibrated grid target. I was able to estimate the spacing between the little crosses at 20x magnification by dividing the come up in mils from the Kestrel aiming solutions by the locations of the aiming dot on the E6 reticle (measured in grid spacing increments) times 3.46 MOA/mil. This results in an estimate for the cross grid spacing on reticle very close to 2 MOA, so I assume the spacing is 2 MOA on 20x magnification. If anyone has the Burris published subtension specs for the E6 on 20x magnification that would be great.

For the way I use long range scopes, the Vortex EBR-7D MRAD mil tree reticle is considerably better than the Eliminator X177 reticle. The “little crosses” spaced at about 2 MOA on the E6 reticle tree requires more time to accurately center the POA on target because you need to estimate where the POA is in the significant empty reticle space between the crosses. Even after taking the extra time, for me the POA accuracy is not as precise as can be achieved with the Razor tree reticle that has lines on the tree and finer, 0.2 mil marks. This is something Burris could address in the next Eliminator version. However, the E6 reticle is quite usable out to about 1,000 yards as evidenced by the shooting results reported below.

1714080406385.png


Past versions of the Eliminator product line were reported to have a yellowish tint that resulted from the coatings necessary to display the aiming dot along the vertical cross hair. There might be a slight discoloration in the E6 image, but it is not very noticeable (if at all) to me.

There seems to be more parallax error with the E6 aiming dot than the reticle marks, also more than a conventional scope reticle that has good parallax performance. In the testing I carefully tuned the parallax knob and tried to center my eye in the eye box to reduce parallax error for the aiming dot.

Long Range Accuracy Comparison Test:

In my view the ideal wind scenario for this testing would be something like a steady 10 mph, 90 degree wind to compare the accuracy of the wind hold values. The day I did the comparison the wind was variable with 16 to 18 mph average and approximately 12 to 22 mph peak variation from a direction of close to 3-oclock. This wind strength and variability made the windage solution comparison more difficult at the longest target distances, but it should not affect the elevation solution comparison much (the Kestrel considers aerodynamic jump, not sure if the E6 does too). I decided that this challenging wind scenario would help stretch the wind hold calculation capabilities of the two solutions so I went ahead with the comparison.

Comparison Procedure:
  • I first confirmed zero and velocity for the rifle and Razor Gen 3 scope at 100 yards.
  • The plan was to shoot a steel plate ladder at 100 for zero then 300, 400, 500, 700 and 960 yards with the Kestrel / Fury / Razor combination and record the target ranges, turret elevation settings, wind holds and hits/misses with impact locations on the plates or in the dirt next to the plates. The targets progress up a small mountain which tests the inclination detection in the Eliminator ballistic solution, with inclination starting at about 2 degrees and finishing at about 5 degrees. I would have also recorded the inclination values for both systems, but while the Fury displays inclination in degrees the E6 does not so I only recorded the Fury inclination values. I did confirm with Burris that the E6 does have electronics to determine inclination and that this is used in the ballistics calculation.
  • Then I changed scopes to the E6 leaving the rings in the same location on the rifle receiver rail, adjusted the eye relief and set the scope cant so that the electronic level in the heads up Eliminator display matched the ring bubble level.
  • I then shot the target ladder at 100, 300, 400, 500, 700 and 960 yards with the E6 and recorded (a) the target range values displayed by the E6, (b) the elevation hold-over of the aiming dot visually estimated by the number of reticle tree lines down the vertical cross hair (estimated to one decimal), (c) the windage hold-off displayed in the scope heads up display, and (d) the hits/misses with impact location on the plates or in the dirt next to the plates. At each range, I also recorded the real time Kestrel come-up and wind hold value as the density altitude and temperature changed.

1714080489288.jpeg


Shooting Results With Kestrel / Fury / Razor Equipment:

Kestrel / Fury / Razor Shooting:

The wind speed and the density altitude were both higher than they were when I previously zeroed the Vortex scope, so the Kestrel solution at 100 yards said 0.2 mil down and 0.2 mil right given the real time wind speed and density altitude measured by the Kestrel. I dialed 0.2 mil down, held 0.2 mils right and punched three touching holes about 0.15” to the left of center.

I did not end up shooting the entire ladder with the Kestrel / Fury / Razor combination because there was no need to shoot all the targets with this proven system. The wind call was averaging 16 mph and proved good, so after first shots hit center of mass (CoM) at 300 and 400 I skipped to 700 with another first shot CoM hit and then to 960 with a centerline impact for elevation and slightly right of center for the windage. I attributed the right of center impact to a real time wind reduction below average.

E6 Shooting:

After removing the Razor and mounting the E6, I zeroed the E6 at 100 yards on max 20x magnification with the group centered at the waterline and 0.7” left (0.2 mils) to account for the wind. This windage value for zero in a 16 mph R-L average wind is what the Kestrel provided. When I zeroed I was not sure if the E6 app and scope used the density altitude and temp that were in the ballistics parameter entry screen in the app or if the environmental parameters were determined by the on-board barometer and temp sensor in the scope. I assumed it was taking the current density altitude and temperature in the on-board scope electronics so I did not set the zero 0.2 mil high like the Kestrel said. I later asked Burris customer support where the E6 gets the environmental data, the scope or the app, and the customer support person said he thought it came from the scope even if you input different values in the Burris Connect app ballistics screen, but he was not sure. After the shooting session I did find a screen where you can override the on-board environmental electronics, so I assume without the override the E6 gets it’s environmental data in real time from the on board electronics.

After zeroing the E6 I shot the steel target ladder. The wind picked up a little between shooting with the Kestrel / Fury / Razor equipment and the E6, so at 600 yards I adjusted the wind value in the Burris Connect app and re-upload it to the E6 scope. All of the E6 shooting was done with magnification set to 20x. Note that the stated target ranges (300, 400, 500, etc) are approximate and the actual laser measured distances were different and change with shooting position on the firing line.

Summary of Shooting Results with E6
1714080889223.jpeg

  • Note 1: After shooting the first 600 yard shot I determined that the wind had picked up down range and the hold needed to be increased. I increased wind value from 16 to 20 mph in the Burris Connect app, uploaded the updated ballistics to the E6, and shot 600 again.
  • Note 2: After shooting the second 600 yard shot I concluded I had overcorrected the wind value. I tried adjusting the wind value to 18 mph in the Burris App and re-uploading ballistics, but the wind hold in the heads up display did not go down. After re-reading the manual and looking online for quite some time I could not find any information about why the wind hold was not changing when I changed the wind speed in the app and re-uploaded the ballistic parameters. After going through the Burris Connect app screens for quite some time, I stumbled upon the fact that there are two places to enter wind speed in the Burris app. One place to enter wind speed is in the "Ballistics" app tab which apparently updates only the Burris app dope card but DOES NOT update the wind speed during upload to the scope. Another place to enter wind speed is in the "Optics" app tab which apparently does not update the app dope card but DOES update the wind value for the scope during upload. After the first 600 yard shot I must have adjusted wind speed to 20 mph using the "Optics" tab and then tried unsuccessfully to change it back to 18 mph in the “Ballistics” tab . For the third shot I used the "Optics" tab to change wind speed which uploaded to the scope correctly at 18 mph. I then reshot at 600 yards. Burris should correct this so that there is only one place in the app to enter wind speed and other environment variables to avoid this kind of confusion and eliminate differences between the app dope card and what the scope is actually doing. The only way to know what the scope is doing is to either read the dope card or shoot with the scope, and it would be way better if the dope card represented what the scope is actually doing.
  • Note 3: After the first shot at 960 yards it became clear that the E6 elevation solution was about 0.3 mils +/- low. For the second shot at 960 yards I came up from the E6 aiming dot about 0.3 mils (as estimated using known target size of 24x24”).
Observations and Conclusions:

I again emphasize that the contents of this post are only my personal shooting results, observations and opinions. Others will see things differently. My only goal is to share information that I could not find in the hope it is helpful to someone considering the same questions and tradeoffs I was considering.

I am impressed with the Burris Eliminator 6. Even though I am a newbie with this integrated ranging and aiming device, I was able to get respectable long-range performance the first time out, which is promising. With just a little time spent with the app, and nowhere near enough time to optimize the system performance by adjusting ballistics parameters, out to 600 or 700 yards I got first shot hits in 16 to 18 mph average wind with +/- 5 mph variability. I suspect that as I get more familiar with the Burris Connect app and learn confirm where the E6 gets (1) its real time density altitude & temp information and (2) the density altitude & temp values used for the zero setting in the ballistics program, I will be able to fine tune the scope system to shoot reliably out to 1,000 yards and hopefully beyond. Regarding the fact that the E6 ballistic solution was a little low at 700 and 960 yards, I suspect but can’t yet confirm that this will be fixed once I learn more and fine tune the E6 ballistic parameters. Until I do this work and confirm the aim point accuracy at 700, 960 and beyond, this is conjecture.

Am I thinking about trading in my Kestrel, Fury and Vortex Razor Gen 3 6-36x56, or many of my other conventional scopes, for more Eliminator 6 scopes? No. The Kestrel and Fury combination has proven to be very accurate on many different rifle/cartridge/scope combinations and it does not take long to range and dial scope turrets with this system. My conventional scopes are well proven to be robust and reliable, don’t need batteries, have great optical quality, turret quality and excellent mil tree reticles. If the best possible accuracy is called for, I was more accurate with the Kestrel / Fury / Razor system as compared to the E6. The huge eye box and wonderfully bright and clear sight picture of scopes like the Razor Gen 3 6-36x56 is also less straining on the eye and a bit more enjoyable to use at longer distances. While the gap in long range accuracy performance is likely to close as I train with and fine tune the E6, I am confident there will still be a meaningful gap.

The Eliminator 6 has a permanent home in my collection, sitting on top of a 6.5 Creedmoor match grade AR10 for PRS / DMR type use. In this type of use case, it makes sense IMO to trade speed for engaging multiple targets at max range less than 800 yards or so for a modest reduction in accuracy. A second E6 scope may end up on one of my bolt rifles for hunting, where max range is lowered due to ethical constraints and speed can be very important.

It will be interesting to see how this segment of the market improves and grows over the next 3-5 years as Burris/Steiner, Vortex, Swarovski, Revic and other manufacturers compete to develop integrated electro-optic scopes with LRF and aiming solution easier to use, more accurate and less expensive.

They’re saying the quiet part out loud…….

Scoping out a Scope.

After weeks of YouTube channels, articles, websites, so called experts and having managed to convince my husband how “essential” buying a scope would be to our marriage. 😬 He told me he wanted a complete report to justify the large expense.
I am ready to buy. So…, For my dream long distance rifle scope, I would would like the following scope features
1. First Focal Plane
2. In the ballpark of 5-25x56
3. Mil Reticle (not mil dot)
4. Exposed ‘Mil’ Windage and Elevation Turrets w/Zero stop and all ‘stainless steel’ internals (nothing plastic but I will accept Brass).
5. 30mm or 34mm Tube.
6 Chrisp, loud ‘clicks’ for both windage and Elevation Turrets.
7. Lightweight (maybe 32 ounces) but whatever. Also ‘Throw-levers’ are good.
8. illumination ( I think?)
Budget under $3k.
This would be my first scope, so be gentle. Nonetheless if anyone feels the urge to disagree with my choices, please provide any reasons or recommendations. I am really appreciative.

Bergara sucks ass, buyer beware.

These rifles are pure trash. Against my better judgement I bought a new B14 Sierra Wilderness in 7PRC after already having been burned 2 times by rifles of theirs that shot like crap out of the box (including a premier).

The first trip to the range right out of the box it was shooting roughly 4-6” groups with all three types of Hornady factory ammo. I started with a barrel that I had cleaned at home prior to the range trip and did a break in since factory barrels are known to be rough. Even during the break in and cleaning the barrel frequently the groups were a whole hell of a lot larger than you’d ever expect to see.

Everything was checked for torque, I pulled that optic off of the rifle and put it on my PH2 6.5CM and confirmed there wasn’t an issue with it and put the optic from my PH2 on the Bergara with the same result. Also tried different torque settings on the action screws other than their 55inlbs spec going to 65 on both and also lightening the rear. I also pulled the barreled action out of the chassis where I saw a lot of heavy overspray from their panting process and proceeded to sand the thick webbing spots down at the range. Nothing I did changed the result.

After 60 rounds the rifle was still shooting like absolute dog shit and copper fouling like crazy. I called Bergara on the way home from the range and got an RMA to send it in.

At home I inspected the rifle where I noticed the absolute terrible bolt lug contact and thought that might be causing an issue as well so I noted that when I sent it in.

Bergara inspected the rifle, recrowned it and said it shot a .9” and .6” group with Terminal Ascent 170gr and sent it back out. They didn’t address the bolt lug contact issue or the issue with the hinge pin on the floorplate of the bottom metal falling out of one side of the hinge due to the pin either being too short or the relief being too wide and their “gunsmith” said was in spec.

I was hopeful it would shoot as I do generally like the rifle and it has improved but it still shoots like complete ass. I even bedded the stock since it was showing signs of a bedding issue and Bergara fucked up the paint in the inlet while they had it which uncovered how uneven and thick the paint was in places. The bedding seemed to have made a difference because the erratic flyers are gone and it’s just shooting large triangle type 3 shot groups now… for the most part.

I got frustrated at the range after group after group being 1.5-2MOA with every ammo type include the Terminal Ascent they recommended for another 50-60 rounds or so. I had cleaned the copper mine yet again with bore tech eliminator which is quite the process due to how badly it fouls and decided I was just going to put some rounds through it to try to smooth it out in 10 round strings. So I shot the first two 3 shot groups back to back and they were… large. Loaded up another 3 and it stacked them sub .5moa… no shit. So I shot a 4th and it put it right in there. At this point I’m thinking this thing is starting to shoot and get excited. I shot another 3 shot group with the barrel super hot with was also very good.

So I let it cool completely and shot another 3 shot group… back to dog shit. WTF? I cleaned it again and shot two more 3 shot groups with the same result. I was done wasting ammo so I put it away. I was thinking the barrel might have a stress relieving issue based on this and texted another hide member what had happened and he said the same thing.

I also brought my Seekins Element 7mm PRC to the range and shot them side by side and all of the ammo shot exceptional in the Seekins, so I know it’s not an issue with the ammo or an issue with recoil. Despite the Seekins being nearly 3lbs lighter as configured it still didn’t manage a group larger than 3/4moa, even the 8 shot group I fired in 1.5min trying to mimic barrel heat over a NRLH stage.

So here we are yet again, I called Bergara again and they said they’ll issue another RMA and look at it again but won’t test fire it. I feel like that’s a waste of my time when I’ve already gone down that road with negative results so I have zero faith in a positive outcome from that nor do I wish to waste any more time or ammo verifying the rifle when it comes back. I proposed that they either 1. Accept the rifle back and issue a full refund of my purchase price or 2. Agree to rebarrel the rifle so that I can send it down the road with some level of confidence that whoever bought it might get a decent rifle. They denied both.

I’ve followed up with the same documentation of my results in an email as well as my proposal. I doubt anything will come of it so my next step will be to send it to a gunsmith next week for a third party evaluation and I’ll then just take legal action and seek the cost of the rifle, inspection fees, as well as the ammo I’ve wasted on this piece of crap.

So my advice, buy a rifle from just about any other rifle manufacturer.

I’ll update this later tonight or tomorrow with some pictures as well as update it with third party findings or any resolution from Bergara.
