8208xbr thoughts

Looking for advice on 8208 xbr from veterans who load with it. Loading only for gas guns 2 of which i am pushing for accuracy 223 and 308. I read many people having success with it. Loading 69gr and 77gr in 223. 168gr and 175gr in 308. Have TAC for 223 and TAC, IMR 4895 and Ar comp as well. Would I be stupid not to try 8208 xbr. I read its very versatile across both calibers. It is a clean or dirty burning powder.

Wtf is this lone survivor or lone runner stuff about?

Has anyone seen this video or heard about any of this stuff they are talking about? They are just bashing Marcus Luttrell for a bunch of stuff. Why do all navy seals just talk down on everything other seals have done? I've read the book and I know he's a congressman and that's all I really know about him. Seems like a great American doing a million better things for the country than 99 percent of everyone else. Do these guys in the video have a right talking shit on Luttrell?

Rifle Scopes Razor Gen 3 Turret Lock Delete

Fellas, I’m taking delivery of a second Gen 3 Razor 6-36 tomorrow. I want to send it in, along with my existing unit, for the locking feature delete on both windage and elevation. I have no use for locking turrets, I only shoot for fun.

When Vortex does this mod, what specifically happens to the turret? Can you no longer pull it up? Does it change how it feels? Is it like a vasectomy where it can be reversed in the future?

Couldn’t find any details in the search. Thanks.

Recap of the URSA NorCal Mar '25 event

Apr 3, 2025 - Recap of the URSA NorCal March ‘25 event (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info and notes from Oscar)

Shooters, we had a break in the weather so we held 3 matches on Saturday March 29th. We want as many shooters as possible at the 3K Match in April so this was a golden opportunity and we took it

Conditions were cold to the point I had on several jackets and wrapped myself in a moving blanket. Amanda had a Mr Buddy heater running and my fingers were numb. Officer S stopped by to see how we have been as the rain and snow has canceled our last few matches.

Match 1 started off with Doug taking the win over Amanda.

Match 2 had me taking the win in a shoot-off against Amanda.

Match 3 had Amanda taking the win against Doug in another shoot-off but at 2600 yards!!!

Amanda and Doug are both shooting chassis made out of micarta and both guns are shooting well. I will post a picture of I can

Calshipbuilder was shooting a 308 Winchester and actually did well at 2147 yards. He had yet to qualify for the April 3K match so I sat out of match 3 and let him shoot my 375 CheyTac in my place. His first 7 shots behind the gun produced 5 hits at 2147 yards and a spot in the upcoming 3K Match. He ran out of ammo and finished the match with his 308 Winchester.

A big congratulations to Doug and Amanda on 2 wins and a great job by Calshipbuilder for qualifying for the 3K.

Jim R had 4 hits several times and I am confident we can get in another match if the weather allows and get him qualified as well.

Notice how bundled up the shooters are in the pictures (see Gallery).

Match 1 Winner (and Runner-Up in Match 3), Doug (RickyRacer87), was shooting 299 gr. (David Tubb) DTAC’s (with nose ring) out of his Billy Goat Machine-built 33XC with Defiance Machine Deviant Tactical action w/ 30 MOA integrated rail, 32” Schneider barrel, Accuracy Solutions’ “Baby Orca” chassis w/ BipodeXt bipod extender, and Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR scope on ERATAC 0-70 MOA base and rings.

Match 2 Winner, Lynn, was shooting 390 gr Hornady A-tips out of his Billy Goat Machine-built.375 CT with Stiller 1.600 TAC DRIVER action, Lothar-Walther 36” barrel, McMillan HBR stock w/ tracking rails and barrel block, March 5-42x56 High Master wide-angle scope and Burris rings w/ 40 MOA inserts on a Mirage ULR 70 MOA rail.

Match 3 Winner (and Runner-Up in both Match 1 and 2), Amanda, was shooting 300 gr. Hornady A-Tips out of her Savage 110 action, Ketchum-build .338 LM Improved (40 degree) with 33” Bartlein barrel, Accuracy Solutions’ “Baby Orca” chassis w/ BipodeXt bipod extender, and Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR scope on ERATAC 0-70 MOA base and rings on the 30 MOA rail.

Calshibuilder was shooting Lynn’s .375 CT for his 3K qual (see specs above).

SOLD ***SOLD***Chris Reeve Small Inkosi ($285 shipped)

I have an excellent condition CRK PJ Small Inkosi with S35VN Drop Point blade. Just received this back from the mothership where it received a spa treatment (sharpening/re-blast) as well as a re-issued birthday card.

Excellent CRK smooth action with minimal signs of wear. The blue thumb studs are slightly worn off and there is a slight scuff on the blade I captured in the pic. Blade is obviously factory sharp now and has not been used to cut or carried since receiving it back from CRK.

Comes as pictured with re-issued card/box and sticker.

Asking $285 shipped

PayPal FF, Venmo or Zelle for payment.

6mm ARC Gas Gun Barrel Lengths and Muzzle Velocities

I'd like to know what muzzle velocities are actually being achieved by "Hide" members for their pet handloads that are tipped with Hornady 103-grain ELD-X bullets and fired from 6mm ARC gas guns having either an 18" or 20" barrel length. I'd also to know what the preferred choice of powder is for those handloads.

Thanks in advance for your input in response to my inquiry.

Savage AICS DBM choices?

Building a new stock for my old Savage 308. Right now it sits in a Boyds Pro Varmint I bedded it into 10 year ago, which while serviceable, is a bit short for LOP and I just dont care for how it tracks under recoil. I pulled some really heavily figured cherry and some curly maple off the shelf and glued up a nice blank. My original game plan was to just reuse the stock Savage DBM and factory mags, mostly because they are old school blued steel, and I kind wanted to keep this rifle looking old school other than the SSTL Criterion barrel it currently has. Also plan on adding in some LRI pillars (will require a bit of modification to work with a Savage) and the LRI cheek riser. However, after looking at how the factory profile of the inlet, I decided I want to increase the thickness of the inlet under the front action screw as wood stocks are prone to cracking in front of the magwell. I also plan on a crossbolt in the front and rear of the magwell to help with that.

So other than the Savage factory part and Atlasworx, does anyone know of anything else? Im looking at the profile of the Savage and it looks really wide in comparison the Atlasworx which I think will cause issues with inletting as I dont want that wider and rounder profile of it.
