15-45 Mil Reticle
Essentially brand new, used maybe twice shipped PayPal FF, Zelle

Thanks,

Hello all. I’m gearing up for my first mammoth at Ft. Chaffe in march. Any tips, tricks, pointers for a first timer?

Right now I’m training heavy in cardio and leg workouts, rucking multiple miles per week with 57lbs and doing so no matter what the weather is like.

My gear is pretty much complete, minus a tent. I haven’t decided what route I want to go.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a Holosun 510c red that I pulled off of a rifle before it was sold.
These are super nice optics for the money.
I have some on other rifles and they've been tanks and work flawlessly.

Has 3 different reticles
2 moa dot
2 moa dot with circle around it

Will trade for a stainless leupold 3-9x40 or something similar. Doesn't have to be stainless I don't guess but would prefer it be a leupold.Trying to put a nice rifle together for a young man

Thanks
Pat

Is Lapua or Alpha worth the premium? Just getting into 6.5CM and need to stock up on brass. Can get starline for about half the price.

CZ457
Lilja 1" x 26" barrel
Area 419 50 moa base
MDT Gen2 ACC Chassis (Green) with weight extension
Jard trigger
1 cz mag with anarchy extension.

Shoots very well. Have several cz and other rifles. This one sits so it ships for 1750 to your FFl.
Cost about 2400 minus tax to recreate with the cheapest cz 457 option.
Will add pics shortly or PM me for more details and or pics.

This is from another forum showing some nice pictures from Quantico. Thought the crowd may enjoy these FAL pictures even though they are not sniper related.

Not sure how to make the link cold and hopefully linking to another site is allowed: https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/...es/7-555926/?r=-1&page=1&anc=6158983#i6158983

I have a 6 dasher PRS style build I’m looking to get a scope for. Looking at the ZCO527 and 840. For those that have handled both is there a preference between the 2? Which is “better” overall in your typical shooting magnifications (15x-20x) the lower end doesn’t really matter and the higher end of the 840 is only beneficial on paper or ELR spotting which is cool. Price weight and length are not a factor. Looking at the PRS blog the 527 was more popular but the shooters in the top 10 were all running the 840, I am nowhere near the top shooters but seeing what they run is pretty cool.

Hello all. Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. I got a custom 45 Raptor from a member here several months ago. RWS built with a Defiance action, Kreiger 16in Palma, Magpul Hunter stock, very nice rifle. I don't hunt, just found it interesting and thought I would fool with it a bit. With the included 250gr XTP loads it was very accurate and a lot of fun. But I was curious about running very heavy subs through my Hybrid 46 can with it. As these rifles run a .451 bore, you are limited for selection. I shoot a lot of BPCR style 45-70 so I have lots of projectiles in .458. I used Lee .454 and .451 sizers to size down to the correct dia. Lead bullets are 500gr ACME, 500gr Montana gas checked spire points they sized to .452 for me and 635gr Creedmoor bullets. I also have a large number of 500gr Hornady DGX jacketed bullets. We'll lubed the DGXs sized with surprisingly little effort and came out perfect.
Loading these where they would chamber of course seats the bullets very far into the case, while this did work you just didn't have much capacity and it was easy to go supersonic. So I got a .452 throater, made a action bushing and a drive mandrel and set the rifle up in the lathe. I loaded my rounds to my preference, mostly max mag length except for the 500gr DGX which has a cannelure, I seated to it. I lengthened the throat slowly, checking to see if all rounds would chamber as I went. At right about plus .550 they all seated smoothly. I'm still in preliminaries getting a finished load, but have good luck so far. I tried a suggested 20gr of H110, which worked well on the 500gr DGX but had low case fill with the 500gr spire point seated out. Loaded up several of each over 10gr of Trailboss with hilarious results. I run 15gr under 500gr bullets in my 45-70 and gets right at 1000fps. With 10gr in the smaller case I think we are close, need time to chrono them. Definitely subsonic, very quiet and seem accurate in my very informal and quick testing. This should be fun to keep them subs or push them to maybe 12-1400fps and see how they do at long range. I've got a 5-25 Arken in a Warne gantry ring set, so elevation isn't a problem lol. In the attached photos, left to right: 250gr XTP, 500gr DGX, 500gr spire point, 635gr Creedmoor. Anyway, thought yall might find this interesting.

Some people don't like dialing and just holdover but many scopes don't have enough "built in" moa /mil in the reticle. Budget: $2k or less. Must be LPVO FFP.

Grow the fuck up and stop with the juvenile appologies! Only kids appologize. Adults acknowledge and learn!

Anyone use these on bigger 30 cals or 338s? Do they live up to what they claim with no concussion to the shooter and best recoil reduction?

I have numerous guns I want to sell, many more than posted here. All guns must be shipped to an FFL. Prices do not include shipping.

1) MPA Competition Rifle built on a Curtis Axiom action, I believe a Krieger barrel, Trigger Tech trigger, MPA Comp chassis that accepts AIAW mags, Leupold Mark 4 M1 3.5-10, GG&G bipod. No idea the round count but it hammers with FGMM 168gr ammo. Suppressor and bipod not included. $4000


Stiller TAC30-AW, Krieger barrel, Jewell trigger, AIAW chassis with Viper skins, Badger IMUNS and AI thumb screws for the cheek piece, US Optics SN-3 that is factory anodized green and has the Eagle Globe and Anchor engraved on it, Spuhr mount. Threaded 5/8-24 and has blended muzzle brake. Atlas bipod. Built by S&S for the Texas Ranger SWAT team. I bought it after they traded it in to Mile High. The salesman at Mile High told me it had just been rebarreled and that's why it doesn't have camo paint like the others they listed. No idea of the round count but it hammers with FGMM 168gr. $5000.00

Over the weekend I realized that it'd be handy to have a single tool to help pop the take down pins since they're pretty tight on my lowers and remove the hammer/trigger pins if/when I want to swap parts. I know there are already tools available that do this but one I found was $25 and I already had everything I needed to make one. A 1/2" piece of oak dowel rod, some delrin, some brass rod, and I was in business. The wire loops is mainly to keep the tool from rolling off.

Can I get some advice on a .243?

I'm going to be running a 103-108-109 grain ELDX /ELDM out of a 22" 7.5 twist carbon proof. (BOLT GUN)

My goal is a stout load to make high 2900 to low 3000 FPS. I hoping to find a fast accuracy node. I'm not sure I can make 3100 safely.

What brass, what powder should I start with? Isn't there a small primer variety out there too?

Thanks

Looking for a good solid thermal setup. Our predator season isn't but 2 months long so I don't want to spend a ton of money but I don't want some garbage resolution either. Something like a iray TL35 bolt i think would fit my budget and be what I need.

Anyone have a 6.5 conversion they are looking to sell?

Day 1 at SHOT Show

Seems like 2024 flew by. MANY industry changes this past year bringing you more options in great optics. I've been looking forward to meeting some folks we've been working with but haven't met face to face yet. Excited to see some new products, and as always seeing what opportunities we can grab and share with you.

My 1st meeting today was with Revic. For those of you in the know, Revic is the Optics and Tripod division of Gunwerks. We had a rep change mid 2024, which normally upsets me, however, the new rep was someone we've worked with in the past at Swarovski. IMO, adding a very knowledgeable optics rep into their fold was a great move. We discussed the new Revic Radikl smart scopes. This scope has a heads up display inside so you can get accurate shooting detail right inside the view.

Next up I went to meet with Pulsar, an industry leader in Thermal Optics. I was not disappointed when I was given a walk through of their new Thermion 60 Riflescopes. Sensor 1024x768 @ 12 µm (sNETD <20 mK). Optimize image quality for any observation conditions with brightness and contrast adjustments, enhancing detail and clarity. The User Mode function saves your preferred settings, ensuring the thermal imager delivers optimal performance right from the start without the need for readjustments. Take a look , we think you'll like what you see.
On the total other end of the spectrum we discussed a good entry level LPVO and I believe we will bring in the Firefield RapidStrike 1-6x24 and 1-10x24. They look nice and both are under $200.00

I went from one industry leader to another with my next meeting at Nightforce. For quality and dependability Nightforce is the riflescope you need to consider. It was great to chat with old friends and catch up. Nothing new to report today, however, as you know NF constancy and quality is "taxi tested tough" so if you haven't checked out their scopes lately take a moment to do so.

I have to say that of all the meetings I have scheduled I was most excited about my next meeting. In September we started doing business with DNT Optics. DNT took over distribution of the Zulus Nightvision Scopes from Arken (they also will handle all Arken Zulus warranty service for you), have their own line of Thermal Optics, which outsold all other Thermals we offer this past year end, and they offer a 7-35x56 FFP Tactical Riflescope priced way below what you'd expect with the quality and features it has. I have spoken with my rep Dennis frequently, however, today was the 1st time we met. Great meeting. The people at DNT are old school guys that care about working together to make great products. They are releasing, over the new few months, some great products, that will shake up the industry, IMO. They will have.....
LRF Thermals, with ballistic calculator, starting at only $649.99
Zulus 4K- Day/Night scope, 3-24 1920x1080 pixels w/o IR for only $699.99
In standard riflescopes (with the same build quality you've come to see in Arken scopes) they are releasing a line of 2-12x42's in both Illuminated and Non-Illuminated, in both SFP and FFP as well as a line of 3-18x42's, same configurations, all priced below $250.00. They'll also have a FFP 5-25x56, similar to what you've already seen from Arken for $449.99. They're bringing a 34mm tube 1-8x24 out for only $299.99.
All these fantastic additions should arrive between Spring and Summer. Stay tuned for updaTes.

From a 1st time meet to one of the longest relationships I have was my next meeting with Swarovski. One of the great things about SHOT is catching up with folks I cannot see regularly.
We already announced Swarovski's New Swarovski Z5+ & New Swarovski Z5i+ Riflescopes . Remember to Enter To Win one of these new riflescopes in our giveaway February 5th.
PRECISION REDEFINED - Unmatched accuracy, enhanced visibility, and unparalleled versatility.

They also have announced the new El Range 12x42 with Tracking Assistant , in your choice of Green or Orange, which have already started to arrive.
The EL Range 12x42 is a pair of binoculars with integrated rangefinder. At the push of a button, it measures distance, angle, temperature and air pressure. The 12x magnification enables outstanding detail recognition both near and far. Thus, you will be able to easily identify wildlife at various distances. The 42 mm objective lens diameter ensures that a lot of light enters the optics, making high-contrast observations possible even at dusk. Weighing just 930 g, the EL Range sits lightly and ergonomically in the hand thanks to its practical wrap-around grip. The EL Range can be individually configured. With a large field of view of 96 m at 1,000 m (288 ft/1,000 yards), you can keep an eye on everything despite the high magnification. The optionally available FRR-42 forehead rest for EL Range 42 helps you to hold the EL Range steady. This way, you can see clear, jitter-free images. With the EL Range, you are ready for any challenge and experience GROUNDBREAKING PRECISION.

We, and you, have been waiting for answers to What's going on with Meopta? Today's the day for answers. Since they closed up the USA facility this past Fall all service has been handled directly in the Czech Republic. Obviously this is not how customer service should be handled. They need a facility here in the USA. I am pleased to announce that they will have a location here in the USA in May or June. They will be releasing exciting new products of higher quality for the hunting market. Not the same old same old, but premium quality, tested new scope lines. More to follow as it becomes available

My next meeting was with a long standing face of the optics industry, Leupold. As you may, or may not know Leupold has updated their VX-6HD Riflescopes to a GEN 2 version. The GEN 2 has a toolless rezero speed set dial. No more allen key needed. Easy pop off/pop on. The main tube elevation dial is a more asymmetrical design which allows for 10% more travel.
VX-6HD Gen 2 1-6x24 (30mm) CDS-SZL2 Illum. FireDot Duplex
VX-6HD Gen 2 2-12x42 (30mm) CDS-SZL2 Illum. FireDot Duplex

VX-6HD Gen 2 4-24x52 (34mm) CDS-SZL2 Side Focus Illum. TMOA
They have also announced, what I think should be a very well received addition to the Leupold Riflescope offerings:
Mark 5HD 2-10x30 (35mm) M5C3 FFP Illum. CMR-Mil
Mark 5HD 2-10x30 (35mm) M5C3 FFP illum. CMR-Mil Dark Earth
This new CMR MIL is daylight bright. reticle detail here

Since Rolls Royce, Ferrari & Maserati do not attend SHOT my next meeting was with the industry version of these world class companies, Tangent Theta. If top quality, precision, workmanship, outstanding dependability are what you demand then Tangent Theta is the Riflescope you deserve. The SAI Division released a new SAI 1-10-24 which is 2" shorter than their 1-6, allowing more rail space for easier use with a clip on. New optimized reticle, making is much easier to work with at lower power.
They also released a new SAI Mini Red Dot designed as a lightweight rapid aiming device for pistols and carbines and as an auxiliary sight for long range magnified sights

I finished my extremely busy day up with Zeiss. I was looking forward to catching up with Barton, who is pretty much the only one left from the Zeiss people we started working with about 20 or so years ago. 2024 was a banner year with Zeiss. Their V4 Riflescopes, new HDX Binoculars and their super competitive, quality Terra ED Binoculars have brought Zeiss back into the mainstream. They have great optics at pricing lower than you'd expect. So, if you haven't look at Zeiss lately then take a look.
New for 2025 is:
V8 NA Riflescopes
V8 N.A. 2.8-20x56 - Plex Reticle (#60) - Ext. Elevation Turret - Ballistic Stop - Capped Windage .25 MOA - Parallax Adj.

CONQUEST HDX 10x56
CONQUEST HDX 15x56
CONQUEST HDX 15x56 LRP with reticle. The all-new ZEISS Conquest HDX LRP 15x56—the “LRP” standing for “Long-Range
Precision”— is a highly specialized optic within the HDX series developed specifically to allow
competitors in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and National Rifle League (NRL 22 and NRL Hunter) communities to perform at the highest levels. The Conquest
HDX LRP 15x56 reticle—a combination of T-style and tree style designs with a floating center dot—will be instantly familiar to competition shooters.
I was reminded, upon picking one up, how much lighter the Zeiss Victory SF Binoculars are compared to the other premium options in binoculars. The view is stunning and the in hand feel is excellent.
You owe it to yourself to check out Zeiss's Optics.
OH, VERY EXCITING NEWS - ZEISS IS NOT HAVING A PRICE INCREASE

and preferably also a carrier key staking tool and complete BCG. I posted this story in one of the 5.56 reloading threads but it bears repeating here.

Recommended sealant is permatex aviation form A gasket #3:

I have a 5.56 gas rifle and it has a 14.5 inch super duty mid-length upper which shot fine for several thousand rounds with h2 buffer + super 42 spring and never had a problem with any type of 5.56 factory loaded ammo from 55 grain plinking to Black Hills 77gr OTM's nor any issues with my hand loads which were mostly 77gr SMK's with TAC. Then the last two sessions I was at the range I was getting stove piping and short cycling and no lock backs with familiar factory ammo and hand loads. I checked the gas rings on the bolt and they tested fine. When I switched to carbine buffer weight and weaker spring I was able to fix the short stroking and it was able to lock back....but something still didn’t sit right with me, it was odd randomly having low gas signs with the same buffer/spring I always used (I thought it was due to less pressure from cleaning carbon rings out more thoroughly before those last two sessions) but luckily @.505gibbs reminded me to check the gas key screws and that was the root cause of the problem.

Somehow on this geissele BCG with only a few thousand round on it the gas key screw closest to the gas port sheared off.

To their credit they responded to my warranty claim in less than 24hrs and are shipping me a new carrier/key and included shipping label for me to send the old one back.

In the future I will have spare gas key, screws, and sealant on hand. Torque them down with some oil to 50 in-lbs with some sealant and a smoothed face and it will work in a pinch without staking. I will also test up to 30 in-lbs the screws any time I take the carrier out just to see if any are egregiously loose.

Hopefully this PSA helps folks avoid the same headache I was trying to trouble shoot.

For some good tips on installing a new gas key, etc. see this SOTAR video:
