    Anyone try a 400 meter zero?

    No you don't. Everything is well within POA/POI within 400 yards with any zero from 25 to 400 yards. Just don't aim for the head/chest area. Aim for the belly button and you will get an impact.

    Gunsmithing What lathe for the home gunsmith?

    I have a G0709 and the bore is over 1.5". Good if you also plan on building silencers for yourself. It is a purpose built gunsmith lathe.

    Anyone try a 400 meter zero?

    You could probably zero a 5.56 at ANY distance between 25 yards and 400 yards and as long as you aim for the belly button it will be a hit. Personally I use a 37 yard zero.

    Threading barrel gone wrong on CZ457

    Try removing the stock then place a foam ear plug about and inch back from the front of the stock. Tighten the actions screws back down like normal. Go slow to allow the foam ear plug time to compress if you have a wooden stock. Next, fire a few groups and record the results. If no change...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I also threaded the OD of the barrel to accept a standard AR barrel nut. I screw the barrel nut on, torque it down and then install the handguard. Any standard AR handguard will work. Next is to thread the muzzle 3/4”-24 and make an adapter to go from 3/4”-24 to 1”-14. The silencer is actually...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    And I finally got the silencer tube for the 458 SOCOM above. Still need to build the guts but this is how it should look. It may not look straight because it is just the tube laid there, I haven't built the end caps yet. ETA: That is a hand made bullet to get the weight for stability...

    300 blackout subs

    The biggest detriment to an accurate 300 Blackout is Lake City brass. It is what everyone wants but it is the most inconsistent brass on the planet. I was getting 100+ fps spreads that I could duplicate. Started using quality brass and I consistently get single digit SDs.

    300 blackout subs

    I do a LOT of off label use of powders for the 300 Blackout. Designed and licensed 300 Blackout specific bullets. I spend hours researching thermal expansion data, burn rates and pressures to get the perfect powder for the project. I choose the powder to give the velocity I want with the...

    Primer Shortage World Wide.....?

    It isn't from hoarders, it is from all the new gun owners and it rolls down hill. A lot of people decided to buy guns for the first time and along with those guns they bought ammunition. Gun owners who would normally buy ammunition are no longer able to so a lot of them decided to get into...

    We have ZERO PRIVACY

    I read an article then watched a fuckton of videos on it. Most of our communication is already intercepted. The .gov approached all of the service providers and a lot agreed to hop traffic outside the jurisdiction of the Constitution. There is a black site in Asia were a lot of the traffic is...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I am building one in 458 SOCOM with a 10” barrel and a 16” silencer. Going to use magnum brass to up the pressures to launch lathe turned bullets. It is a work in progress at the moment.

    Teslong Bore Scope

    Most barrels, even quality ones, will look awful with close inspection. I have one and use it to inspect a lot of different things. It is a nice camera for the money and the company supports its customers. I had an issue, rolled it up too many times, and the company fixed the problem. Make...

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 4-16x (surprised)

    That was when I first got it. It now resides on a bolt gun.

    Officer caught moonlighting while on duty

    Wow, with all the "grass" that old lady had he could have made detective. Some friends an I were shooting, A LOT. Literally 10-15 minutes of what sounded like a gunfight. We got done as as we were standing in the yard talking two patrols pulled into my driveway. My wife walked up to the first...

    Hey Honey, would you pull something out of the freezer for supper?

    We had a local meth dealer get busted. Had his wife in the freezer waiting until he got up enough money for a "proper burial".

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 4-16x (surprised)

    The EP4 is a winner for me mostly because of the reticle. I love the "BDC" they use in the EP-4. I have not used anything other than their EP4 models. I also had a 6-24 but it wasn't as impressive as the 4-16 so I sold it. The 6-25 EP4 is priced about where it should be. Nothing amazing, just...

    This is too much fun

    I would take CCI Quiet 22s with a GIANT silencer and ring the targets during lulls at public ranges. No one would hear the shot then a target would ring and everyone standing around BSing would stop talking to look around to try to figure out why a target is ringing on its own.

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 4-16x (surprised)

    I have a 4-16 EP4 and it has been great. Tracks well and so far has survived on everything I could bolt it to including my 21 pound 50 BMG. The eye box is what is amazing about these scopes. I will say that when I first got my Arken I compared it to my Steiner M7 and immediately felt like I had...

    14-Year-Old Girl Sentenced in Death of DC Uber Eats Driver

    Personally, all executions should happen at 6PM EST and televised nationally. Spend an hour detailing why they are being put to death then let the other would be criminals see what they can expect from committing the same crimes.
