Last week, I took Frank and Marc's 2 day, Precision Rifle class at the FFP range in Ashtabula OH. I wanted to take a few days to really digest everything that was learned and I feel pretty good about posting this video to go over what the class did for me as a shooter.

I will mention one thing here that is not in the video. When Frank did a quick tripod clinic, he used my rifle and didn't hit anything at 600 yards. That wasn't his fault and I feel bad that I let him do that. The rifle is a Sig Cross that I had just installed a new Proof barrel on. That barrel is considerably larger in profile than the factory barrel and one of the screws from the M-Lok that was holding the ARCA rail near the chamber was protruding and hitting the bottom of the barrel. It didn't affect the rifle when shooting from a bipod because that is attached at the front. When setting it on the tripod however, all hell broke loose and it couldn't shoot for crap. I diagnosed it after the class and it is now fixed and is shooting quite well from the tripod. That made Frank's tripod demo a little less than ideal but we still got the point.

Here's the review I posted to Hide TV:

Looking for any discussion/feedback on the "long action" semi-auto rifle platforms. Specifically, how are they performing? This could apply to several "long action" calibers, not just .300 WM. The intent is NOT to debate the applications for these rifles.

Some of those platforms include:
Nemo Arms - https://nemoarms.com/product-category/omen/


Falkor Defense - https://www.falkordefense.com/petra


Noreen - https://onlylongrange.com/bn36x3-long-range-300-win-mag-7mm-rem-mag


Great Lakes Firearms & Ammunition - https://glfallc.com/firearms/long-action-rifles/


Bear Creek Arsenal - https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/guns-parts/bc-8.html


Are there other "long action" semi-auto rifle platforms out there?

What has been your experiences, good or bad, with any of the "long action" semi-auto rifle platforms?

I have been doing my best to research this topic, but my results have been pretty hit & miss. I have found information, but I am questioning the consistency and validity of much of it.

Thanks in advance!

So.... this is why they don't give a shit that Kameltoe is a useless candidate...

Because they have been in power for 12 of the last 16 years (28 of the last 32 if you count bush and his globalists...)...

And they have rigged everything from the ground up.

Does anyone have any information or experience with a Northwestern Precision LLC short bolt action? I called their shop and spoke to Chuck McIntosh who said he manufactured the action but stopped making them about 10 years ago and had maybe made a few hundred of them. It is manufactured in Gillette WY. Any additional info from more experienced members would be great. Thank you.

Title pretty much says it, just trying to see what options might be out there. JAoutdoors is the one most prevalent in postings I’ve seen.

Its about Operation Anaconda in the Shah-I-Kote Valley. Good Lord what a complete and total disaster by our military. Virtually every step was a disaster including a Spooky bombing on of our own convoys

Using a 6mm Dasher die in a progressive press. Generally how long should a die last? Let's say Redding die, cleaned before each run of about 1,000 pcs of brass. I'm getting some slight loading stiffness and extraction clicking that seems to be related to the waists as there is some marking around the waists. (5x fired Petersen brass)

Wondering if I should be chasing SD or grouping. I thought I had my load down the second visit to the range. Gun grouped well at 100 and 200 yards (for me) However, when I input the data into excel, a less performing load had a measurably better SD. Should I keep tinkering with it or call 69 grains good enough.

Like new Ti nitride terminus Zeus action
I have the box and am original owner. Fifty rounds fired.

I am going back to a black one.

The Ti nitride has worn off on some of the rub points on the inside where the bolt rides. I reached it to Joel and he said this is normal.

Just trying to get what I have in it.
Asking 1600

No not different types but the powder I use I could not find 8lb jugs of so I bought eight 1 lb jugs. They are not all the same lot number. Would it be a bad idea to mix all eight of them together so that I have more consistent results through the 8lbs vs having to check everything for each pound?

I've personally used the Trijicon M250, M300W, NVision Nox, AGM stingIR, Iray MH25 with the FLCOS, and the newer MH25 with the OLED, one of the only FLIR Breach 640 12 BOSON, and the Iray RH25 and RH25 V2.

I've used them as hand held, helmet mounted, weapon sighted, as well as clip on "if applicable" and I always tell guys my favorite thermal to date was the RH25. Now I have to admit it's the RH25V2.

As you can see in the pics, it boasts a huge ocular lens, giving you an amazing amount of forgiveness in eye relief, and allowing you at least a 5X mag when using as a clip on. I don't know exactly how much the display has actually grown, but I do know it's significantly larger than the V1, easily noticeable when compared side by side.
When I unboxed the unit, my first thoughts were the weight. I didn't know all the specs at the time so I weighed it with the pictail and the lens cover along with an 18650 in comparison to the Rh25 V1, The V1 weighed in at 13.7oz and the V2 is 12.7oz. I guess going to the machined magnesium body gave it a slight edge in weight reduction.
The other nice upgrade was the USB-C charge/data transfer port. I personally didn't have any issues using the 18650 batteries, as I would carry a spare in my agilite bridge, but now we may be entertaining the option using the unit with an external power source. The new V2 also has audio, which is amazing for us now you'll hear everything.
Another upgrade to note is the polarity, the polarity is on the same level as the RS75, TX60 and RH50R, which is the best I've seen in any thermal unit.
At a price that is 1K under the OG RH25 this is gonna be an a$$ kicker fellas. 5K for the new V2 is well worth it IMHO.
There is also the significant upgrades to the RL25 V2, with it's major talkingpoint being the ability to use it as a clip-on as well, and at a 3K pricepoint.
I have been using this for some time now and have a dozen coming to inventory this week.
I will also be doing a full review of this unit along with my personal helmet set up and a side by side comparison to the RH25's V1 and V2.

Looking for a few AICS Dasher mags for a new build. If anyone has a few spares that are running well I’m game.
Thx.

In the market for a new daily driver

I have narrowed it down to the following:

1) Chevy 1500 trailboss
2) ford stx with 5.0 and 4x4
3 Colorado zr2

All would be brand new 2024/2025…I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about the 10 speed automatics in either of the full size trucks..the AFM in both of them is woefully problematic too.

Only real problems I see with the Colorado are the growing pains of the electrical system and sometimes I have to have 2 car seats in the back..which would still fit but be tight..

Anyone have any insight on this..getting burned out doing research..these post covid trucks appear to be shit

Looking for some input regarding switching to night vision to night hunt instead of thermal. I have the Agm rattler ts25-256 thermal that I’ve been running and it seems to me that, as far as target acquisition goes, you can get into a “good” night vision setup for cheaper than you can get into a “good” thermal. From what I understand it’s cheaper to get a better IR Illuminator than a thermal with I higher resolution thermal censor. Plus I like the fact that you can differentiate your surroundings better with night vision where as if I miss coyote with a thermal it’s common that I shine a light and there’s a lot thicker brush there than I could see through my scope. Am I on the right track with my thinking? If so what are some good options for night vision optics and IR lights for sub $1500? Thank you
