2025 SHOT Show Optics
S&B 3-18 x 42 FFP looks like a nice possible upgrade for the 3x Vortex 4.5-22 LHTs I have in service without adding too much extra weight, but with S&B currently playing price games with the US market and jacking the prices to the moon yet again, they might not sell many... at least until they...- Kiba

Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i
Agreed, I'd expect to see about 19 +/- 1 ish mils remaining after zeroing, but something about the entire rifle/barrel/optic assembly is hard to one side of the tolerance stackup to leave 17 mils remaining after zeroing. Depending on the use of the rifle 17 mils elevation may be plenty. If...- Kiba

Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i
The k540i is advertised as having 29 mils of elevation travel... that's a bit on the low side compared to many of the scopes on the market today. In a perfect world it would have about 20 mils elevation available after zeroing on a 20MOA base. 17 mils remaining after zeroing on a 20 MOA base is...- Kiba

SOLD 2x 30% off Vortex certs
Both sold 2/1 Up for sale are 2x 30% off MAP certs for Vortex at Euro Optic. Was planning to use them for a 1-10, Impact 4000, or maybe 2 more Razor Gen 3s, but some other things came up that needed the money instead and now I won’t use these before they expire on 2/28/25. Asking $80/ea. I’ll...- Kiba

Shot Show 2025 Rumours
From the comments on Manner's instagram post: Molded in ARCA on the folder probably saves just a bit of weight over the aluminum ARCA on the regular PH. Personally, I lean towards preferring a replaceable aluminum ARCA (even if it is a little heavier than molded in) as it's easy to swap if...- Kiba

Accuracy International Picture Thread
Besides the apparently long gaps between production of certain parts at AI, the other thing that doesn't help AI wait times is their ordering system. I'm trying to get some parts for my AXMC right now and Sporting Services UK says AI only accepts quarterly orders from their dealers, and the...- Kiba

Accuracy International Picture Thread
After removing the firing pin and bolt shroud assembly you drive out the small roll pin that retains the bolt head retaining pin to the bolt body, then push the bolt head retaining pin out, then the bolt head slides right out of the bolt body. Way easier than an AE/AW/AT/AXSA with multiple...- Kiba

Yes, you have to send a bolt body in. That was another frustration that bugholes mentioned, extremely long wait times to get bolts from AI so he couldn't offer off the shelf ready to go complete 223 bolts. I had a spare complete large firing pin bolt just sitting around that I sent to Enrique...- Kiba

Accuracy International Picture Thread
Correct, Enrique out of Massey's in Texas did the 223 bolts and magazine mods originally with bugholes chambering the barrels, then bugholes took over the entire conversion including fabricating the bolt heads. I got the last 223 bolt head from Enrique before he passed the project off to...- Kiba

Accuracy International Picture Thread
Regarding the 223 conversions, a few months back Greg at bugholes said once the last couple 223 bolts he had on the shelf were gone he was likely done with them, they required too much fiddling to make and get to run well. He only had a couple left at that point when he posted the info. Short...- Kiba

Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i
Ah, that makes sense. I'm at the age where presbyopia is just starting to set in so I'm all for 10 mil turrets with widely spaced hash marks and extra revolutions, lol... That's why I was a little surprised to see them advertising 16 mil turrets when the current trend seems to be going back...- Kiba

Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i
If the specs listed at Area 419 are correct, it has 29.1 degrees afov @ 5x and 29.78 degrees @ 40x, that's huge. Hopefully there's no weird fisheye distortion image effects like a peephole lens in a door. 8x mag ratio is going to make things interesting IMO between optical performance and...- Kiba

SOLD ARC M-Brace rings 30mm / 1.26" high
Edit 2/1: both sets sold. Recently swapped stocks on 2 rifles and these rings, while great on the old stock, were a bit too high on the new stock and weren't totally comfortable and the stock ran out of cheekrest adjustment so I swapped to lower rings. Rings are 30mm, 1.26 high. Both sets of...- Kiba

Manners LRH Discussion
They say it includes extra spacers for higher scope rings to work with clip ons, but to me it doesn't look like they changed the cheekrest length or shape over the regular LRH, so I'm guessing long actions are still going to have the bolt interference issue. Short actions obviously won't have...- Kiba

Manners LRH Discussion
Snagged my first LRH, was in stock at piercision rifles, a long action with micro chassis in high plains. Plenty of camo on it (I asked for pictures before I ordered, I didn't want to get a stock with only 3 or 4 dabs of paint like manners was shipping early this year) and high plains looks...- Kiba
