Short action and comes with 4 internal weights. A little wear on the arcs. I can add more pictures if you’d like.

Will trade for an mdt matrix pro in black with money either way.

I wanted to give a try to benchrest ELR and TYL rim-fire shooting so I read as much as I could for the past week and today stepped off deep. (they say buy once and cry once but I'm still crying at the price). Anyway, I thought I would show you guys that are experienced in competition (or whatever) my order to see if what I ordered that is right or wrong for my intended purposes. I'm ok with criticism so you can be honest.

Vudoo Three 60 Bolt
MDT ACC Elite Chassis
Bartlein 24" Straight SS 1.20 w/EC Tuner V2
Rem 700 Diamond Pro Flat Trigger
Zero Compromise ZC527 5-27x56 FFP, MPCT2X (probably should have ordered a less expensive scope for sure)

I know that there is a long wait time from Vudoo Gunworks for the Bartlein 1.20 straight Barrel but I was fortunate enough to fine one in stock through a dealer and he said he can build and test it and I can receive the complete build in 2-3 weeks.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi Team.
Question about using a fast powder like 2207 or Reloader 7 (H4198)
It's fast and seems like an economical way to do it with 70 grainers (Speer bulk pack).
Is it "too fast"... looking for some real world experience with it if anyone has any. I wonder if it's too fast and will split cases over varget or similiar.
I have no other use for it at the moment and I have dasher cases to form. Thanks team.

Anybody shooting the heavies in a .22 br?

Powder?

Barrel length?

Speed?

This Razor Gen 3 is new and only lightly mounted on my rimfire for fit testing only. No marks anywhere. All the accessories are unopened. It is super clear and a great scope, but I have determined it is too much for my needs. Happy to provide any additional pictures or answer any questions. Asking $2250 OBO shipped CONUS. Prefer PayPal f&f. Add 3% if using G&S. Happy to have a phone conversation as well. Just pm me.

Have a set of vortex precision 34mm low rings I will include for $100.

Well, this checks a LOT of boxes.

Edit, just noticed MOA and no locking top turret.
Still fits a good mid-range hunting scope application.

Stumbled into this thing, didn’t know much about them but knew a bit about the old BSA guns from WW2. I knew this thing was cool so I got it. After getting it I learned a little bit more of the demise of BSA in the early 70’s. I like old classic wood stocked guns and this thing really makes me think of the Remington model 30 express. This one is a .243 which I guess they were also in 30’06. It weighs 6 lbs and some change. Really cool old gun thought some here would like it and probably know a lot more about them

Got this a few years ago and I just don’t use it anymore. Works flawlessly. Comes w the rubber cover, Gray Ops arca mount, and Sunrise tactical padded case. Pics attached.

$4500 buyer pays insurance

Happy to chat on the phone or facetime with interested buyers

I have a couple hunting rifles that have sling swivel studs on the front of the stock. A couple of the rifles are set up with pastic stocks (Ruger American) as well as a several .22 rifles (Marlin Model 60, Rossi Rio Bravo, Savage Mark II). I have seen the Warne adapter that will convert the sling swivel stud to a picatinny rail but I am looking for something that will convert it to a Arca rail. Most of my bipod are set up for arca rail. I have tried searching because I thought I had seen something on here a while ago but can't find anything now.

Have been shooting this rifle for about a year and am quite happy. Rather than pillar bedding I want to use a barrel block and let the barrel and the action float. I do not want to cut up the Boyds All-in-one in case this pipe dream doesn't work. Anybody have a Mark II stock? I would prefer wood but might be able to make a tupper ware work. I even considered making a stock with laminated plywood.

How about some brilliant ideas.

I recently discovered that people are shooting long range rifles chambered in 25 Creedmoor, and I thought this might be the ideal Creedmoor, at least in theory:
* less recoil, less drop, and more muzzle velocity than 6.5 Creed.
* heavier weight bullets with better BCs, better drift, and longer barrel life than 6 Creed.

The increased speed over 6.5 Creed would help with using it for hunting, as most bullets, especially the monos, in the small bore category thrive on 2600 fps and above speed when it comes to terminal performance. It's easier to land at that velocity when you start 100+ fps faster.

The better BCs, better drift, and extended barrel life over 6 Creed would aid in long range target shooting.

So is 25 Creed the goldilocks Creed?

I had to model it in Gordon's Reloading Tool to try to find out. I compared the following bullets out of a 24" barrel:

Target. Hunting.
6 Creed. 115 VLD. 80 TTSX-BT
25 Creed. 135 LRH. 100 TTSX-BT
6.5 Creed. 153.5 LRH. 120 TTSX-BT

Target:

For the each of the target bullet loads, I used a similar amount of Reload Swiss RS60 in GRT, which seemed to yield the best mix of velocity, %burn, Pmax, and load ratio. The 6 Creed sent the 115 gr Berger VLD at 3030 fps; the 25 Creed yielded 2900 fps with 135 gr hybrid; and the 6.5 Creed produced 2770 fps with the 153.5 gr hybrid.

With the Shooter app, I modeled the external ballistics of these three loads at 1000 yds and with a 10 mph crosswind. Here the 25 Creed came in second in drop and first in drift. The 6 Creed came in first in drop but last in drift, and the 6.5 came in last in drop and second in drift. With a 1st and 2nd place finish, the 25 Creed won in my book. It also beats the second place finisher, the 6 Creed, in barrel life. Of course all three are very capable long range target cartridges and any "wins" were achieved by small margins.

Hunting:

For each of the hunting loads I also used Reload Swiss RS60. Here in GRT the 6 Creed yielded insane velocities with the Barnes 80 gr TTSX, beating the 25 Creed's 100 gr and the 6.5 Creed's 120 gr bullets by 240 fps and 430 fps respectively, but 3500+ fps is hardly a requirement for a good hunting round. And the 6.5 Creed's 3130 fps is more than adequate to hit above 2600 fps at reasonable hunting distances, especially with the 6.5's better BCs preserving that speed over longer distances. With hunting it's hard to determine a clear winner, but here are some velocities and energies at range to help us decide.

6 Creed TTSX 80 gr (3550 fps):

2000 ft-lbs @ 50 yds
1500 ft-lbs @ 200 yds
1000 ft-lbs @ 400 yds
2600 fps @ 310 yds
2400 fps @ 390 yds

25 Creed TTSX 100 gr (3315 fps):

2000 ft-lbs @ 100 yds
1500 ft-lbs @ 260 yds
1000 ft-lbs @ 450 yds
2600 fps @ 260 yds
2400 fps @ 340 yds

6.5 Creed TTSX 120 gr (3130 fps):

2000 ft-lbs @ 160 yds
1500 ft-lbs @ 330 yds
1000 ft-lbs @ 550 yds
2600 fps @ 230 yds
2400 fps @ 320 yds

Let's say that 2000 ft-lb with at least 2400 fps (ideally 2600 fps or more for optimum monolithic bullet expansion) is enough to kill a moose with good shot placement on broadside; 1500 ft-lbs for an elk; and 1000 ft-lbs for a white tail deer. Discounting varmint hunting, how do the Creeds stack up?
Moose. Elk. White Tail.
6 Creed. 50 yd. 200 yd. 390 yd
25 Creed. 100 yd. 260 yd. 340 yd
6.5 Creed. 160 yd. 320 yd. 320 yd

It looks like 6.5 Creed is the winner in my book in the hunting category even without considering that it has a slightly larger diameter. It adds 60 yds to the range of moose and elk hunting when compared to the second place finisher, the 25 Creed, and it only gives up 20 yds on white tail due to insufficient bullet speed. 6 Creed wins with white tail at range due to its 1st in class speed and thus its maintenance of adequate bullet performance over longer distances.

The 25 Creed performs well here though too, earning second place honors with all three game types. 100 gr bullets on elk and moose might be a stretch but monos are known to punch above their weight if given adequate speed and energy.

Summary:

Target:
1st = 25 Creed
2nd = 6 Creed
3rd = 6.5 Creed

Hunting:
1st = 6.5 Creed
2nd = 25 Creed
3rd = 6 Creed

With a first and second place finish, I'd say the 25 Creedmoor is the best all around Creedmoor, with 6.5 coming in second. What did you think? Was this a fair analysis?

6 Creed would obviously have rocked the varmint hunting category, but if I analyzed this, I would have had to include 22 Creedmoor in the discussion. Also recoil differences turned out to be fairly negligible as calculated by GRT, with only 2 lb separating 6.5 from 6 Creed (with 25 Creed in the middle)

Hey all,

I find myself having a rifle which needs glass. I'm not looking to buy something right this moment but at the very least, I'm starting to look at options.

Rifle is an FN SPR in 308 with a 26" barrel. I don't really have a use for it but sometimes I can't resist buying some rifles. I suppose the use for it will be general plinking. I may try a prone match that goes out to a 1000 yards just for the heck of it too.

Ok, so I'm hoping I really don't go over $1,500 and would still prefer to spend less. I own one sig Tango6 4-24 and really like how big and bright the image is. Idk how to describe it. I'm sure my minox zp5 has way better resolution if I put them side to side. However, the image on it (zp5) looks so small and I really hate that.

I'm considering another sig since I already know I like it but am really curious in trying something different and new to me. I always like exploring other glass.

I'm considering Tract, either in 4-25 or 4.5-30.

Considering tenmile in 4.5-30.

Considering maybe a steiner t6 in 3-18.

And just maybe considering a mk4hd in 4.5-18.

Can anybody comment on any comparison between any combination of these scopes? I would really hate to buy a scope and find out it has a huge black ring around the image taking most of the viewing space up and leaving the image looking so tiny.

Thanks,

Serg

I accidentally posted this in the Bolt gun forum.

I would be curious to get the glass hiveminds pointing view

I have a mini-fix in 556. 16” barrel.

Planning on leaving it that way until a 6max barrel is hopefully made available. Will be running unsupressed. Planning on using it as a utility gun as designed. Truck gun for random coyotes, thrown in the tractor when helping my Uncle hay his fields this summer. Ranges 300 and under.

Currently I have a sightron s-tac 3-16 on it. For the money the scope is great but it’s a little long/ big on a tiny gun. (see pic below)

I’m thinking a 2-10 would be perfect for the role. Not impressed with any of the 1-10 options, they all appear to be decent 1-8’s but after that the eye box is terrible.

At 10x Im not overly concerned about sfp vs FFP.

Since they are running about the same price point, would you go NF 2.5-10 NXS, or the Leupold Mark 5 2-10? I would prefer AO.

I was looking at the Steiner hx6i 2-12 but I want a simple reticle with mils. For this gun I don’t need a Christmas tree to clutter.

Both are in the same size and weight range. Both are American companies, I have had good luck with both companies. I greatly prefer to stay away from Chinese optics, no matter how great the Helos is.

I’m not looking to add a ton of weight to a very light weight utility rifle. I just want a rugged, clear, high quality piece of glass..that’s smaller than the stac at 13 inches long, and 24 oz.

Thoughts from people that may have experience with both?

Looking for Nightforce ATACR 4-20x50 F1 Mil, Schmidt Bender 3-12x50, or Premier Reticles

Got scammed by buff104. Put up a want to buy add for a Spurh 4601 mount. they Sent picure that was very convincing but actually used a picture from @Senor_Barney post in 2023 but changed background, added the leveling tool and a very convincing hand written note showing username and date. was only a matter of time i guess.

So is there a situation where you’d want to consider like a 308 or even a 458 socom/450 bushmaster or 50 Beowulf over a 5.56?

I have 8 or 16# of H1000 I would like to trade straight across some Varget.

I'm in the process of building my 6.5 Creedmoor and I have a few boxes of their 120gr AMAX factory loads, but once those are gone it to the table. I've seen a few loads on here, but they are spread out all over the place. Figured we need a spot for all of them to go. Bullets I'm interested in using are: 130/140 Berger VLD, 120/140 AMAX, 123/139 Scenars, 142 SMK, and 142 Matrix. Haven't decided powder yet, but mostly will go wth H4831sc or H4350.
