I get by with a little help from my friends...

What's up Hide,

Context:
  • Rifle I setup for bench rest. Used a crappy squeeze bag that I filled with sand in a ziplock, pushed out the air and cut slits in the squeeze bag and ran it on a rail changer. Worked great for what it was being stationary:

  • I got a little bored shooting paper and moved on to NRL/PRS. With "bench sand bag" removed, I need about 4.5+ pounds to find balance a few inches in front of the magwell. Rifle with bipod without sandbag is 11.6 pounds. Photo below is not the balance point. Just threw it on for illustrative purposes:

Need some advice to modify this Manner's stock to fit me right. I'm saving up for a chassis on a centerfire, so not ready to do that to this rifle or switch out the barrel. I realize both of these would give me better options but it's currently a shooter in this state. I've already added an oversized steel compensator for weight, but it's not enough. I've got a 14" Area ARCA coming to move the bipod forward more to help counterbalance with barricade stop. I feel like my only options are:
  • Purchase some brass stock and attach to an ARCA clamp, but I think it'd be too significant in size to make the weight and will jack with a game changer. Tungsten isn't realistic given cost.
  • This is probably blasphemy, but I could take either a large forstner bit or hole saw and cut into the butt stock to hog out some weight... nobody panic, I build furniture so I can clean this up and make this look nice, but maybe not "right" :sneaky:. I'm thinking it shouldn't have material impact given .22
  • Cut past the butt plate, meaning, remove a few inches off the back end to remove material and add a lightweight adjustable one. This would probably look a lot cleaner. You'll notice the scope/rings really far back to fit my eye relief. Maybe cutting to adjust LOP would be best, as then I can also shift the weight of the boat anchor scope forward
2. To square up right, I need a higher cheek riser. This Victor Titan is maxed out on spacers. Rings are medium and I don't think low will do it and the shade may get into the barrel. Is there an adjustable option I can drill/add in inserts that will accept a riser? I don't want to use an Amazon kydex version that drills through the sides, I'd like to add to the top.

What's the play with these guardrails? I'm not really sure of the demand for a 457 Manners stock. I get why everyone runs chassis' for this reason, but I do love the palm swell on a Manners

Thanks for the help!

Ruger American Barrel

I’m new to long range and interested in getting a new barrel for my Ruger American predator chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I know it’s only a Ruger American but it’s what I can afford. Does anyone have a barrel manufacturer that they recommend or have had good results with? Upon research there seems to be so many Hart, Bartlein, x caliber, preferred, and quite a few more. Hoping I’ve come to the right place for some help and insight.

Ruger Precision Rifle, thermal shift , Inaccuracy, common problem?

I was gifted this I think “first Gen?” Ruger Precision Rifle, (Cal .308) I am trying trying to zero this scope. After 10-20 shots , the rifle wanders . Some of the shot seems same direction but progressively worse, say 5 o’clock position but in 1 “ increments. The barrel is hot to the touch, was there a known defect or is there a common problem with the barrel possibly overheating loosening accuracy? I went everywhere online searching for the answer.

Rifle Scopes MPED vs Viper HD

I currently have a Bushnell MPED on a rifle that I use for PRS and NRL Hunter matches (6.5CM bolt gun). I know that the new Viper HD line is technically geared towards hunting, but the 5-25x50 seems to have all the features of the PST-II's (FFP and Xmas tree reticle). Seems like the only difference is the capped windage knob, which is a non-issue for my personal use.

Any thoughts on whether the Viper HD would be a step-up from the MPED? Or about the same? I have no issue with the MPED, but curious if I can get a decent amount of upgrade for a good price when the Viper HD goes on the super-duper mil-discounted sale.

Has anyone else found the Area 419 Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket (A419 ZRPSAPPP)?

If you're ever working the ram on your 419 and the press seizes, the Zero Reloading Press Secret Accessory Primer Prison Pocket, or ZRPSAPPP (you know how much the people love acronyms), is probably cram full and you'll need to search for it like a customs agent on an inbound flight from Bogota. You will find zero information out there about the ZRPSAPPP, but I am here to tell you it's real.

BEHOLD THE ZRPSAPPP! Nestled in-between the front two mounting screw holes, covered up in secret, it's right there waiting to fuck up your day when/if it fills up with primers. I have been told this is a secret feature.

Has anyone else discovered the ZRPSAPPP from their press bricking itself?

Firearms FS: Savage B22 Precision $349

comes with 3 mags, the original 0moa rail and a 20moa rail I put on it. has around a thousand rounds on it. works and shoots but I'm enjoying rimfire and looking to upgrade to a custom.
no scope/rings/bipod included.
it does have some scuffs, nothing major and all cosmetic from the bipod and from getting used for positional.

RCBS 10-10 False Weight

Hey
Wondering if anyone here has ever had an RCBS beam scale that was reading incorrectly-
If you have how did you correct it if at all?
Mine reads approximately .1-.5 grains off from my other electronic and beam scales-
Was having trouble nailing down 44.0 grain measurement and the weight was fluctuating-made me think my Uniflow was causing the problem-
Nope-verified with 2 other scales and it's my 10-10 that's being facetious-

SOLD MPA Matrix Pro R700SA - Fully Loaded - PRS Ready

This is my backup chassis and is very lightly used. It has almost every upgrade from MPA/Grey Ops and is ready to compete right out of the box. All original parts will also come with this allowing you to play around and set it up exactly how you want. Right now I have it set up with full internal weights, full external weights, Lightweight Matrix Pro 2 Cheek and Bag Rider, and the rest of the adjustable guts pulled out of the stock to keep weight down so it will balance with zero play. The way its setup it perfectly balances with a M24/MTU barrel but if you want to run a Comp contour or Strait Taper, just take some external weights off. There are a ton of extra grips, thumb rests and other accessories that add up to over $500 with of upgrades over a stock matrix pro. Chassis has some scratches here and there, but very good condition overall. It was used as a backup gun and only in a few matches and practice sessions.

-MPA Matrix Pro RH Remington 700 Short Action in Tungsten
-Comes with both Short LOP and Long LOP buttstocks to get perfect LOP for positional shooting.
-Full Internal Grey Ops Weights
-Full External Grey Ops Weights
-MPA Bag stop, cut down and blended to allow shooting off rooftops and not getting snagged on barricades.
-Matrix Pro 2 Cheepiece and Bag Rider to reduce weight in backend
-MPA Locking Collars for cheekpiece so you can always return it to same spot after cleaning.
-All the original parts to restore it to stock if you like.

$xxx Shipped.
