    New 2024 MPVO Options

    Steve-you make a convincing argument for your 2-12 in a broad, practical set of scenarios. A little better glass and more defined detent with lower turret height might make a meaningful difference without overburdening cost. Thx for realistic comments.

    Gunsmithing DO NOT USE VIBRATITE HOT LOCK

    I’ve just stuck with blue with an appropriate prep and judicious amount to secure muzzle device, and have had no issues. Don’t use red because I don’t want to fuck up a Proof CF barrel by having to heat to remove. Green will hold shit in place through an apocalypse-been there, done that.

    Thermal dissipator fit under non JP handguards

    Ordered the balance of build opponents yesterday. Have 22” +2 JP 6.5 CM barrel-absent dissipator, Superlative set screw AGB and SLR Ion Ultra Lite handguard. They all fit on my personal builds and should work well for my buddy’s project.

    6.5 Grendel

    Not a clue either. LRRPF may have some info to share. Would hope a site update or hopefully not hackers. Agree, however, it’s a mess as is.

    Portable shooting bench

    Just finished this one. Only real cost was for angled 1 1/4 pipe weld brackets and 36” pipe nipples and caps. Top is repurposed corian countertop I’d been saving for projects just like this. A bit of welding, layout and cleanup and done. Portable, with removable legs, but heavy, stable and...

    Thermal dissipator fit under non JP handguards

    Starts with a rail, as you’ve noted. No drilling anything across multiple platforms using SLR handguards.

    Thermal dissipator fit under non JP handguards

    Think this is a SLR Helix, but 16” on +2 gas Krieger from Keystone. Superlative AGB adjustment screw right at flush with front of handguard, on a MATEN build of my own. What other considerations am I missing, respectfully?

    Thermal dissipator fit under non JP handguards

    Thanks for replies. Considering there will be somewhat limited shot strings, and the spare variety of alternate handguards with desired features, we decided to put off installing the TD for now and pick up an SLR. If desired in the future, will modify a TD to fit selected HG. My friend is...

    Thermal dissipator fit under non JP handguards

    I do know the Smoke Composites HG will do it, but it’s like holding the operating end of a baseball bat-light for sure, but a large OD.

    Thermal dissipator fit under non JP handguards

    About to begin a build on a Mega MATEN receiver set for a friend who has chosen to use an available 22” JP Supermatch 6.5CM +2 gas barrel. Will also employ Superlative AGB for same. Deciding whether to go with thermal dissipator now or wait and see how it shoots without, and pretty unlikely...

    Vista (Revelyst) announces layoffs, including Bushnell

    Rare is the publicly held or private equity company that does not expect/demand that their/your future performance goals exceed the previous year’s earnings. Executive bonuses hinge on same, and all else is secondary to those expectations, whether employee pay/benefits/satisfaction, financial...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Let’s just say it was done in the reloading room/garage/every project room. Have incubated this task for some time now, but finally finished another more portable bench for our 1k range at the ranch. Old corian counter top material repurposed for shooting bench top, some pipe mounts from Urban...
