If you were on a hunt, and stalked in on a Sasquatch/Yowie/Yeti/Cryptic, would you shoot it?
I would.
Physical evidence, and Cryptids aren't protected... theoretically they don't exist.
The reason I ask is because of all the hunters out there, shouldn't at least one have been taken by now if they existed?.

So I have ended up down this rabbit hole of M24 isms. And while I know a lot about the Mk 13 having built one I know damn little about M24 so hopefully someone here can help.

Buddy is looking at this rifle at a LGS in the Midwest. Seller wants 4K for it. The information is all over the map about whether this is a refurbished gun that was an action and barrel etc. that was surplus. Not just a return stock with a new action put in it.

It also predates, I believe, the eurooptic m24 offering where they put together some 500 guns for about $3000 each. Saw them advertised here on the Hide.

This gun has sat in the LGS owners personal collection for some 10 years. Story is, It was ordered by a retired army officer But when it came into the LGS the buyer needed money and sold it to the gun store owner who has had it in his personal collection. It *might* have come from CMP. Because the CMP name is being used by the owner as part of his sales pitch. But I have no idea if that could be correct.

Should my buddy jump on this, run away, etc. What is this exactly? I post pictures with serial number and box which matches the rifle.

There is a pelican case with the gun but I am told that was added by the LGS owner.

FYI currently fitted with some kind of Burris scope that it did not come with. Added by LGS owner



Other things to note: the stock is used and painted. It is definitely a field used stock.

I’ve got no skin in this. Except I am very confused by the whole M 24 “what is real and what is not” world. Like I said I never got into them or the 40s. Just the mark 13.

My personal recollection is that M24s Got destroyed not surplussed. Kind of like the Mark 13s where the stocks made it out, but the actions and barrels were destroyed. But that does not mean that some didn’t get out or somehow end up back at Remington or at CMP. Like I said I just don’t know the minutia of M 24s.

But I’m pretty sure the experts here can sort this out pretty quick.

I just got my first suppressor (Dead Air Nomad TI direct thread) and am already looking for my next one or if I want to change the connection on this one. Not looking to change because I don't like what I have. Just wondering if there is something better. With that in mind I was hoping for some insight on a few things:

1) What is the advantage of a XENO or CB mount system vs direct thread. I was originally just planning to use the current suppressor on one rifle but am now thinking of threading some other barrels. Is the only reason not to do direct thread because you have the potential to screw up the threads on the rifle? Do the other mounting systems make it more repeatable when you take it on and off? I do take it on and off to clean and obviously will be coming on and off if I switch to different rifles.

2) I feel like I have a good sense of what the XENO system is, but haven't really found much on the TBAC CB system, even though I know it is pretty common. Are these similar systems? Which do you think is better? I am thinking of doing an ULTRA 7 for my next can but don't want to go TBAC if the XENO mounting system is significantly better than the CB. It is probably obvious from these options I am looking to stay as light weight as possible.

Thanks in advance. I love all of the expertise in this forum!

these were well regarded here in the past. still true? thinking about getting one for my cz 455 which i only shoot at 100-200. struggling @ 200 for sure. can move current scope elsewhere. looking @ 12x and 16x. annoying that objective isn't 48 or 50 giving 3mm or 4mm exit. in FL so dark isn't a big issue but still. mk 4 is same 40mm obj and way more $. any other ideas for fixed power? 12x prob ok. 36x competion scopes just won't do for me. mirage an issue at > 16x for me. any other brands?

Just checked their site about ordering another mk5 and almost everything is OOS. All Mk6’s and almost all mk5’s.
Does anyone know when they’ll be seeing more inventory? I’ll call Monday to ask but wanted to see if anyone here knew.

I am asking because we have not had a ZC scope, but had a customer want to trade one for another brand. I have read of the Nightforce and Austrian heritage. I am guessing that is Kahles? What I have read sounds good.

For those who have used ZC, what would you compare it to? Kahles, Nightforce, Minox, Nightforce ? For those who love it, what would you improve, why do you like it?

I picked up a Sig Cross in 6.5 Creedmoor recently as kind of an impulse buy because I was impressed when handing it. I only shot the rifle once (around 30 rounds) and quickly remembered I really don't need another lightweight hunting rifle setup so it's just taking up room in the safe. Ready to pass this along to someone that will get more use out of it than me this winter. This rifle is post trigger recall. Price is for rifle only but deal could be made to include bipod, flash hider, or scope.

Anybody used them? Is there something better?

I need a chore/ice fishing boot that I can run all winter long but I want something that slips on, similar to Muck.

I’m currently in the process of getting ready to send my rifle parts to the gunsmith. I currently have a Benchmark 27”, 6.5mm, 1-7.5 twist barrel ready to ship to the smith. I also have a Benchmark 29”, 6mm, 1-8 twist barrel being made, however, it’s not ready yet. I only want to build one rifle right now for PRS competitions, and I’m trying to decide on 6.5 Creed or 6mm Creed.

I’m choosing between these two cartridges because of the excellent factory ammunition that is available. I will also be reloading for both. As I mentioned, I’m only going to have one rifle built at this time. My question is, should I go with the 6CM or 6.5CM? I know the 6Dasher, 6BR, 6BRA and 6GT are popular right now because they produce less recoil.

My rifle is going to be heavy, 25 to 30lbs, with an APW Raptor 5 Port Brake, so I’m leaning heavily towards the 6.5CM. I also like the longer barrel life of the 6.5CM. I know this question has been asked many times, and I’ve read some of the other threads. I’ve shot my friends Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target 6.5CM, and I can see my hits and misses with ease. The recoil from that rifle seems easy to manage, so I’m not worried about recoil. However, I would like to get a fresh perspective on the topic before I make my final decision. I’m continuing to read about recoil management and follow up shots being better with the 6mm’s.

Being old, slow and on a fixed income has it's challenges. I started gathering pieces and parts 2 years ago for this build (photo). I still have a Wish list for some more parts. I've gathered some priceless info here on SH, made some friends and ruffled some feathers... A special thanks to Crewdog135 for helping me out along the way..
Thanks to all of you for your help.
