Hey everyone. First off, it appears the crown style has no effect on a rifle’s accuracy. But I thought it would be fun to see what kind of crown you guys like (and why).




My Kidd has a counterbored crown. Not sure if centerfires have this style?

Our own @Frank Green has an enlightening list over on accurate shooter:

He does mention one advantage to the 11° is you can see the gas venting lines, which is a shortcut way of seeing if your crown is messed up. This trick surely(?) doesn’t work when using a suppressor. (Edit: wrong!)


He also approves of breaking the crown’s edge at 60° vs. leaving it sharp.

Recessed crowns of any type can help avoid crown damage.

Anyway, have fun!

Very lightly used. Had this stashed away in my safe, don’t need it. Will include pillars and generic action screws that will need to be trimmed (for some reason I had this bagged with bdl screws)

I'm looking for the best glass I can find in the $1500 range. Preferably in a 5-25 setup...or something close to that range. I'm going down the rabbit hole way too much and need some help. I've looked at

Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22
Leupold Mk4 & Mk5
Athlon Cronus
Element Nexus
Zeiss LRP S3 (used one)...
Meopta Optika 6
Anything else in that price range that would offer better glass?

It will go on a Tikka T3 Tac A1 6.5 Creedmoor that will be used to get out to about 1000 yards or so, with some occasional deer hunting from a blind. Any help is greatly appreciated. My eyes aren't the best in the world so glass quality is preference.

EDIT: How does the NightForce SHV 4-14x50 F1 compare to these? Not quite as much magnification as I was looking for but would it be a better optic? I've heard nothing but great things about NightForce.

Before I begin, here’s what my latest rifle project reminds of….a series of highly improbable events that may be considered…Mission Impossible.

Login to view embedded media
My Mission: collect enough M85 parts (and machining expertise) to turn this….








….Into something reasonably close to this:



It would help greatly if I were a machinest (or even a gunsmith), but I’m clearly not, so there’s that. The guy who sold me the receiver and various parts did include these 3 custom taps for the barrel threading, which was helpful.

But this will require real machining expertise…

Probably use parts from unit on left to complete the M85 trigger parts on the right.


Unfortunately there are still 5 parts that I am searching for:
1. Bottom metal with mag latch (possibly requiring fabrication - need technical info).
2. Front sight (GP240 machine gun sight)
3. Front handstop (black) w/ sling swivel
4. Rear sling swivel.
5. Barrel (this will have to be custom made, just not sure who might make an M85 barrel).
(Rear sight is a unicorn, so I’m not going to worry about that one part, and fortunately it’s hidden under the scope mount).

So lots of machining to do by someone talented, heat treatment of the cast receiver, a custom barrel fitted to this old bolt, and a lot of metal refinishing…plus whatever comes along the way.

Why an M85 replica? Well, I do not have any British sniper rifles in my collection and since an L42 and L96A1 “Green Meanie” are not available (or affordable), I’ve decided to piece together P-H M85. I’m 18 months into the project, but a long ways to go. Any build tips re this ridiculous sniper rifle project are appreciated…

I also blame this Mission Impossible project on this video:

For users who are not Commercial Supporters, but get free stuff from companies and advocate for it on this website, can we get an Influencer tag or something?

Think of it same / same as being a registered lobbyist.

I think it would be nice to be able to easily differentiate between users seeking to inform and users seeking to influence.

Yeah, yeah one would have to self-report their status, and that might be hard, but establishing the mechanism I think would be of value.
