How does one get an FDE butt-pad? Asking for a friend

Stupid non-AI thread question but... It needs input from the 'pinky out' group of the 'Hide.

Would you go for a NIB Zeiss LRP S5 for $2,600??? It is the annual holiday for optics sales. G3 Razor again through EV for $2,400, or ATACR for $2,700ish... Or the Zeiss from EO.

I have zero knowledge of the Zeiss.

I am kind of wanting more magnification than 25x though, because it is probably going to find a home on a target rifle and not a tactical one.

Razor

Or go get a LEO/MIL MK5 7-35 and buy more ammo

Maffs for Muhreens
 
Another good day with a new Bartlein/WinTac barrel. This time with the 24". I want to see how the barrel settles after a deep clean and more rounds through her; only 70 rounds got fired today before shooter fatigue set in, and I didn't want to waste the ammo. The cold bore shot was impressive as hell though. I also still need to test out Hornady A-Max 168gr and Federal Berger 185gr. So I'll keep sharing...

And a glamor shot. The 24" AT308 gets the Leupold MK5HD 7-35x56mm with Tremor3 reticle. My 20" has the 5-25x56mm. Both are the revised models with dual erector springs, and both got the nipple twister test without a single hiccup.

I'll work on getting 300 yard groupings next. And for those interested, I'll do some scope tracking as well. Thank you again @Frank Green for the excellent barrels!

Just curious - is this some kind of allergy / bug off spray?
No. That's the emulsified molybdenum disulfide compound I use to condition my brand new barrels. This is the only lubricant product I use when cleaning my barrels, and I only wet-patch, so that it can continuously bake into the barrel and molecularly bond to the steel as it reacts to both high heat and the trace elements of sulfur from firing rounds. It is a highly viscous nanoparticle version of molybdenum, not a grease.

I always do 1/2 the M24 SWS break-in process as per FM 3.22-10 (2017), for the purpose of slowly building up heat to bake the molybdenum disulfide into the barrel.


When I can't use Jeany's, I will use Shooter's Choice FP10 as it is also molybdenum based. The bolt gets a Lucas gun lube grease.
