    What is it Worth? Older Leupold Mark 4 10x

    NOT SELLING, JUST CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THEY RUN THESE DAYS. I have a ca. 2000 Leupold Mark 4, 10x with M3 dial (168gr only), that came with an old first gen FN SPR that I bought about a decade ago. The glass is as good as Leupold made back then, no scratches or issues. Honestly, the scope is in...

    Anyone Else with a Seekins Hit Precision Mount?

    *If this needs to be in another section, please feel free to move mods, thanks! I tried one of these recently on my Sako TRG. I'm a big fan of Seekins' rings, and probably have 5-6 sets of those on various rifles. My issue (if you want to call it that) is with the wedge. It'll come about...

    Any Bobcat Trappers Here?

    I've got a smaller, but beautifully coated bobcat that likes to walk one of our trails here on the ranch this year. I'd really like to save the coat of this one, and won't just be shooting it like I do the others when I happen across it. I've had good success snaring coyotes in the past, but I...

    Dudes With 6.5 CM Experience, Looking for Input

    I've assembled (9) ARs to this point from the ground up, and generally enjoy the process. I possess all of the necessary tools and equipment for both large frame and small builds. Where build #10 is taking me though is into new territory for me...specifically I have in hand a 6.5 CM, steel...

    Cool Cheek Piece Knob For Us "Old-School" McMillan Users

    I got to pick up my latest barrel from the gunsmith the other day. Other than that, I am in no way affiliated with him. He showed me a pet project of his. It is a pretty simple cheek piece knob that contains a lever that is held in by a detent. You can pop the lever out, and get more torque...

    Please Tell Me My Eyes Are Deceiving Me

    The good old YouTube algorithm brought up an internet gun fails video as I've watched several over the last year. This one is pretty typical moron-level shit. However...please tell me that the guy shooting the frigging AK into the dirt next to the students isn't Rob Ski from the AK Operators...

    What I Get for Running My Mouth - XTR Pro Issues *Received back**

    Well, after bragging on my Burris XTR Pro about it being problem free (albeit that I didn't exactly have a ton of rounds through it), it will now not dial back to zero .:LOL: I have no clue what is going on, but I took the dials off and the only thing that appeared off was that my little zero...

    Got a Chance to Compare "Pretty Guud" With "Guud Enuff"

    My AT-X in the back, my buddy's SMR in the front. He left his rifle with me for a few months to do some load development on. I've read a lot of fantastic optics comparisons on this site by guys with a lot of experience...I'm not that guy, and this isn't that high quality review, so if you're...

    New .223 Trainer Complete and Zeroed

    Just got ahead of the storms today to boresight, zero, and do an initial break-in on my new trainer. I shot 2 - cleaned, 3 - cleaned, and then 5, 5, and 5 with a cleaning between each. The patches are coming out without much, so I'd say the break-in is complete as well. Managed a .4 for...

    Looking for Recommendations in the $2K'ish Range

    Yet again, one of us "poors" is looking for advice. I'd appreciate any help if I can get it too. Background: My use is for informal paper punching at 100 (about 10% of the time), and steel targets out to 900 at max, usually 750 and in (the other 90% of the time). I do not need extreme...

    Looking For Security System for Business

    I figured that there were a few experts among the 'Hide that may have some experience with this. My wife and I are building a Veterinary clinic out here off of one of the corners of the ranch. We are in the process of wiring the building now, so if a wired system would benefit us best I can...

    Troubleshooting Help for Finicky Barrel and Unexplained Flier

    Gents, I am at a loss here. My final answer to this problem is that I just ordered a Brux barrel, and will get it chambered in 6.5x47 and spun on by Matt Stewart of Stewart Rifles. However, that doesn't guarantee that my problem will go away, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone else (I'm...

    Feral Dog Packs

    I'm sure that some if you have to deal with this too. This summer I've had three different packs of dogs on the ranch. Usually there are just 2-3 dogs each time. I get them on my game cameras at least twice per week, often three times. Ive had up to five at a time on camera though. I've...

    Oklahoma Bans Critical Race Theory in Public Schools

    Not going to link a Fox News story, but Gov. Stitt just signed a bill banning critical race theory BS from being taught in public schools. That's four great bills in the past couple of weeks (2A sanctuary state, can run over rioters threatening you [extremely condensed], churches can't be...

    Anybody Swapped Out a WOA Gas Manifold?

    I'm assuming that there is a 10-word or less correct answer to this question: My 18 inch Predator barrel that I ordered New Years came in, and like a good little monkey I raced to the shop and started slapping things together. Lo and behold, the supplied proprietary 1.477" gas manifold that...

    Found Any Good Sheds This Year?

    The owner of this one never showed on any of my trail cameras. I suspect that he moved in after the season while he was looking for forage. Found the shed as I was starting the ground work for a new food plot this week. Unfortunately something has had at it for a bit. 9 points on this side...

    Bergara Not Popping CCI 250s

    Maybe somebody has some insight as to why I'm having issues getting CCI 250s to ignite in my relatively new rifle. I do have many years of reloading experience...but that doesn't mean I'm exempt from screwing something up. Fortunately I've had zero issues with Fed 215s so far, but I had to...

    Hunting & Fishing My Results of Barnes TSX on Feral Hogs

    This wasn't designed to be a 30 minute feature, but rather a super quick overview of the hogs I shot after loading a box of Barnes 120gr TAC-X for my Grendel. I was pleasantly surprised with the results I had on large hogs at modest velocities.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Had the Daughter Help Break In New Revolver

    I recently scored an excellent condition S&W 34-1 (22LR) in nickel that I thought would be perfect to have for one of the girls. I actually already own another one of the exact same revolver, so now I have one to pass down to each of them. I traded out the checkered magna style grips for...

    Night Vision Replacement Thermion XP50 is Here

    After 35 days of being without it, my replacement Thermion came in. I've mounted it, and checked the unit over after letting it charge overnight. So far, the internal battery icon is there (connection issue was why I had to send it back). I'll put a few rounds through it tonight and zero it...
