    Rifle Scopes Dilemma - WMLRF on older scope vs new Scope & and HHLRF

    Figure out what your primary use case is and go from there. A WMLRF is useless for PRS but great for certain kinds of field matches (albeit as an ancillary, not primary, means of ranging). If it were me, I'd upgrade your rifle optic first, even the HDMR2 was a big step up from the HDMR, both...

    11 shots for 1.2 MOA at 600 yards with my M14

    Great shooting! What're the specs on the first M14 in your post (vintage sniper)?

    Dmr/ precision ar type trigger

    Personal preference and all but I like Geissele SSA-Es on gas guns and TT 2-stage Specials on bolt guns.

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

    That's a hell of a deal for a 1550nm unit...

    Angle shooting

    The best thing you can do if you don't want to "rely on gizmos" is to use a solver to pre-make hard dope cards and just add columns for angle (ie 15, 30, 45 degrees). Then you just need a means of measuring LOS range (lrf) and angle to target in the field (best analog means is probably an ACI...

    Show me your open heavy Nrl setups.

    Here's my "frankengun" I put together for the Arizona NRL Hunter pro-Am match in Jan and ended up shooting again this past weekend at the Cranbrook, BC NRL Hunter match cause my dumb ass forgot to send my actual hunter gun off for a new barrel... durr Squeaks in at just 16lbs: Defiance Deviant...

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

    That's awesome. When the 34mm version comes out, this system will be the tits with my Razor 1-10. The version for higher mag optics should also be rad. This seems like it gives you all the functionality of the XM-157 (but we can get it) but with the optic of your choice. How does the HUD affect...

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

    Being that you thought the aiming chevron was a bit big for use with smaller targets, can you run the FCS+LRF and just turn off the illuminated aiming point? That way you'd still have your elevation hold show up in the HUD but you'd just use your optic's reticle to hold over (like with any other...

    Reloading for shorter barrels?

    My go to load for any 6.5 is a 140 ELDM with 42.0 gr H4350 in a Hornady case and that load has shot 1/2 moa in 5 different barrels going from 18" to 26" (one of them a gasser). It's 2800+ in the 26" pipe and 2620 in the 18". I've since run out of H4350 but have lots of N160, N150 and N555. I...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    If you had to choose between Athlon and the Steiner (mount issues notwithstanding) which would you go with?

    MDT CRBN Reviews?

    Should be around 45oz for the LSS with carbon handguard and carbon folding stock.

    MDT CRBN Reviews?

    There isn't a longer forend for the HNT simply because of how the forend attaches to the main chassis body, a longer forend would just impart too much flex (same goes for adding an extended arca rail). I still love the HNt for hunting but I vastly prefer the CRBN for NRL Hunter/field matches. If...

    MDT CRBN Reviews?

    I've had one since last April or so and love it. Have used it in a couple NRL Hunter matches and for CD's BOTC match last summer as well as hunted with it this past fall. I'll most likely take it out for spring bear shortly as well. I'll dig up some pics. I've run it with an R700 and 24" steel...

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    An stl file to print one (on a 3d printer). You can get files to print ARDs for most scopes for free on different file sharing websites. I know MKM makes one but I'd rather print one for less than $1 in filament vs paying $85 for MKM's version. Not slagging MKM at all, they deserve to sell their...

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    Does anyone have (or know of) a file for a ARD/killflash for the Impact?

    New CHAD clone from Preece.

    Makes sense. I imagine then that the future of brakes is in additive manufacturing, like with cans. Pretty cool stuff.

    New CHAD clone from Preece.

    No dog in this fight but curious what the benefit is to welding the separate sections together vs just machining the whole brake like others do? Is it a cost thing or the ability machine each section like the baffle of a can (ie put angle on the back side of the baffle/port)?

    Accuracy loads for LRP-07 6.5 creed

    140 ELD-M seated to 2.200 bto with 42.0 H4350 in a Hornady case with a BR2 or 210M shoots very well in every 6.5 barrel I own or have tried it in at this point (5x bolt gun barrels and an AR10)

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    Yeah, that's fair. I put dots on pretty much any rifle (short of something that already has an eotech as a main optic) and like the ability to run a weapon-mounted LRF on anything likely to be used at any kind of distance. I've got an older Badger 30mm mount on a large frame gasser and have the...

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I wonder if there's much demand for new ring caps for old Badger mounts. I don't really need another project but I'm tempted to get a buddy with a machine shop to make me some, haha.
