AJ Brown

Hello,

I am new to this forum and bolt actions in general so please forgive my ignorance.
I purchased a bolt action some time ago and was told that the rifle may have been built by a gentleman named Alan Brown. I was hoping to send it in and have it examined by Alan himself but I cannot find his contact information anywhere. Would anyone happen to know if Alan Brown is still in the gunsmithing business?

Just A Scam Warning To Fellow Handloaders

With primer and powder component prices soaring, and a very limited supply, be cautious of who you order from. I came across this place, "Reloads Wholesale", from another shooting website. It looks perfectly legit, and they've got a nice website.


They show pre-pandemic prices, with most EVERYTHING showing, "Add To Cart". I then E-Mailed them and they confirmed that if it shows "Add To Cart" it is in stock, and is available for immediate shipment. Then I checked their payment method by putting a few items in my "cart", and hit, "Proceed To Checkout".

This is where I became suspicious. You can only pay by credit card, if you go through a long and complicated phone app. No secure Visa link like most every other place has. Then I ran their address, which is listed on their website as, 4927 Yellowstone Blvd Houston, TX 77021, on Google Earth. And it comes up as a run down house, in a rather crappy section of Houston.

No doubt this place is a total SCAM with a capital S. I was all set to place a large order. Now I'm out of breath from running away. Stay away from this place, and warn any fellow reloaders to do the same. I wouldn't trust this joint any further than I could throw a grand piano. When these kind of shortages take place like they are now, along with skyrocketing prices, always check and apply due diligence BEFORE you order anything. And the oldest saying in the book always applies. If it looks too good to be true..... It is.

Polaris Ranger gun rack options

Have recently added a 4 door ranger to my inventory. Have always been a 4 wheeler guy.
Sure is nice being surrounded by glass and a heater. 😂

Anyway. It has some roof rack gun mount. That would hold a “traditional” type rifle with a 3-9 scope and that’s about it.

I have the KOPLIN XL gun boot quick setup on my quad. And that’s holds a larger style precision rifle. I.e. McMillan/manners A5 type stock with large scope.

The down fall is bipod must be removed. And it takes some time to get it out obviously.

Looking for what others have had experience with. And or made for theirs. With pics hopefully of these sorts of rifles in them.

Looking for something secure, inside the vehicle. That will hold a larger style precision rifle or two. And allows for quick release and to bail out and shoot coyotes and such.

The things that are on our minds at 3 am

Thanks
Josh

Corrective lenses for shooters

The topic of corrective lenses for shooting purposes has come up multiple times on this site, and it's apparent that a substantial portion of firearm users struggle with getting this right. Here are a few articles that I stumbled upon via an aging shooter on Twitter that will provide some guidance:





Hopefully this proves useful in future visits with your eye care professionals. If you shoot multiple disciplines, keep in mind the author's analogy of shoes - you may need several sets of corrective lenses to optimize performance.

Bought a Vudoo, did I make a mistake? (THREE 60)

Hey guys,

I just ordered a barreled action V-22, 20” Kukri, with 30 MOA in black. It was the last one instock, and was able to use a discount code that made it roughly $300 cheaper than the new THREE 60 variant of the rifle, which I could have purchased from another store.

Now I’m wondering if I made a mistake? Should I cancel this ordered and just get the THREE 60? Pay the difference? Is it worth it?

It’s simply a bench rear rifle for me. No competitions.

Anyone have any insight on the matter? I’d the THREE 60 that much better?

Thanks.

Rifle Scopes Upgrading PRS glass: zco 420 vs 527?

I shot this last season with 2 different rifles, a 25 creed and a 6gt. The creed wears a k624i skmr3 lsw, and 6gt a Minox zp5 mr4. I am building a new rig this year, falkor 7even, Hawkhill max varmint 28" 25 creed in a mpa matrix fully weighted up. I have been behind a zco 527 and really liked the glass. But wasn't the biggest fan the reticle or locking turrets.
Now that a guy can get non locking turrets and the mpct-3X I want one. The 420 has the dimensions I want. I rarely shoot above 12X usually around 10X. However I'm learning I need to run more magnification to be able to read the plates past 5-600y.
My local matches have a lot of 600-900y targets. So I need to start shooting at higher mag. The FOV at 15x is pretty much the same on the 420 vs the 527. I pinch my rifle against the bag with support side so the shorter scope will allow me more flexibility in positioning in lower shooting positions.
So guys who run a 420 or a 527 can you sway me one way or the other? I've got used to running long tubed scopes as the zp5 and k624i are long designs. I've actually read in a few places that he 420 has a slight optical edge over the 527 but have zero first hand experience.

SOLD Vudoo v22 v2, MPA ba comp, 4k rds center x

Getting out of the serious rimfire game early...just don't like that I can't control the variables like you can with center fire. The rifle shoots like you'd expect a vudoo to shoot.

Vudoo v22 v2 action, about 6 months old. 800 rds fired from a bench. Sniper Grey color.
18" kukri profile ace barrel. 1/2x28 threads
TT diamond single stage trigger
30moa rail
MPA ba comp sniper green
4x 10rd poly mags
4000 rds of lot tested lapua center x Only had 4500 of the lot that shot the best, hence why the round count doesn't add up

$old

I'll only sell the ammo after the barrelled action sells since it's matched. Not looking to sell the scope. Reach out with questions.

Only trade zeus 223 bolt
