Started out with a MDT ACC Elite chassis, a Defiance Deviant action, Bartlein #12 heavy palma 30" barrel 7.5t, TriggerTech black diamond trigger. Quite the step up from the stock Savage F-class in 6mm BR Norma... This Savage is getting a new barrel also. Bartlein .308 straight 32"

Thanks for the look

What the Jesus Fu#ck, Hegseth?


Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday announced a finalized agreement that will allow the Qatari Emiri Air Force to build a facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.

The agreement, which Hegseth announced alongside Qatari Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Pentagon, will allow Qatari pilots to receive training alongside U.S. soldiers. There are no foreign military bases in the U.S., but some foreign militaries do maintain a presence for training. The Singaporean Air Force also has a presence at the Mountain Home base.

Yeah, I'm not sure about this. For a bunch of reasons.

Suppressors What causes condensation in a barrel, particularly the last 6-8”?

I had to take a flight to Texas, so I didn’t have very much time to test other things. I live in Illinois. It’s cooled off to about 60* ambient temp, 35% humidity. I have a new 6.5cm barrel in an AXSR, running Berger 153s in lapua cases with BR4 primers and h4350 @2650 FPS. On the end I’m running a TBAC 338 ultra gen 2. (Super stupid quiet BTW)

I missed a coyote the other evening at 350 yards, and I scratched my head for a long time about it. Yesterday, after work I went out and re, checked zero. It was slightly off, no big issue. Re-zero and starting hitting steel from 300-800yards. Then, after roughly 10 rounds I have moderately heavy bolt lift, groups opened up big time again. We’re talking can’t hardly hit a full ipsc at 700. Take it back to 100 yds, groups are 2 moa, and hitting low. I’m like dude wtf, took it inside, ran a borescope. All looks normal, except the last 6-8” of barrel is soaked. Wet. This barrel has exactly 200 rounds down it, never been touched nor cleaned, absolutely no reason anything should be wet. So I ran the borescope down the suppressor, it’s pretty damp looking too.

So I ran a dry patch through it. Came out wet looking, ran a few more, got it all out.

I thought I was going f-ing nuts so I took it back out and shot it. Same thing. About 10-15 rounds later, somewhat of a heavy bolt lift, I run the borescope through it and there it is, more moisture near the end of the barrel.

I was going to go shoot it without the can and see what happens but I didn’t have the time last night.

It is very dew’ey in the evening and morning here, so by 6pm the grass is soaking wet. So just because the humidity isn’t terrible -30-45%, there is a lot of Dew.

Here is a pic of the SR brake that is wet, and a pic of the first patch I ran through the barrel, wet aswell.

Question: Worn Out Supressor???

As the title states, I have a question to see if a supressor can get worn out?? I own two 30 cal supressor that I purchased in 2009 and took ownership of in 2010 : AAC Cylone & a YHM Phantom 762. Both are direct thread and have served on multiple rilfes to great effect. However, I have noticed that my YHM's POI shift is greater than expected, nearly 3/4 to a full mil off where as in the past it was maybe .2-.4 mils off. I cleaned both with a supressor cleaner fluid and a ton of carbon was removed. When I used the supressor again the results were the same.

So, I am wondering after 15 years of use is it time, to consider a newer supressor, or is there a solution that I have not considered.

Thanks for you time Y'all

What to do with CA 300prc

Last year I stumbled across a really good deal on a Christiansen ELR in 300 PRC, I picked it up, threw a geniii razor HD on it and ordered a bunch of ammo. It was some time before I had time to shoot it, when I did I threw a Nomad L can on the end and took it to the range, first 2 shots were fine, 3-5 shots the bolt got increasingly harder to lift.

Now I know CA isn’t really looked at too favorably these days, seems like they’ve had a lot of QC issues, figure mine may have a tight chamber. Would there be any reason I couldn’t send the barreled action to someone and have the CF barrel trashed for a thicker steel barrel and throw it in a chassis or would I be better off starting fresh with a new action? I don’t want to say money isn’t a concern but I don’t mind spending money on quality stuff. I don’t know enough about the precision rifle game yet to make the decision so I figured I would ask here. I appreciate any input!!

Pres. Trump fails to win Nobel Peace Prize this year...

Apparently, it was awarded to opposition leader Maria Corina Machado in Venezuela. My understanding is, eligibility ran out on Jan. 31, 2025 and Trump hadn't been in office long enough. The decision was made by the Nobel committee the Monday before the Mid-East Peace deal was signed. Hmmmmmmmm......

Everyone is hopeful for 2026, though. We shall see. :rolleyes:

Vintage Optics

I have several Vintage Sporting rifles and would like to keep period optics on several of them. I have both B&L/ Kuharsky bases with B&L BALvar scopes and a Stith base that was originally for the Kollmorgen scopes. In early to mid 1970's TASCO made a Model 703 scope on a US Govn. contract as part of the REALTRAIN program. These look like they will drop right in the B&L or Stith mounts. I am wanting to know if anyone here has used these Tasco Model 703 scopes on moderate recoil rifles (</= .308 Win). Any info on the scope or the REALTRAIN program is appreciated.
