Accuracy International Picture Thread

@Mile High Shooting and AI being gay AF. Putting the AX stock with the AT and the 16" barrel is super dangerous in the hands of a civilian. Even the new ATXC with a shorter rail and color matched action is too dangerous. Only for those who are donut snipers and the people who can protect us from the invasion can have those things..... But yet, we can go out and buy a ASR chambered in 338LM. lol
It is a contract. We honor contracts.

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

Clarification on my end, I was not commenting about "should this be going on" I was trying to determine what the cutoff for determining if a GMO dire wolf is a dire wolf.

The philosophical questions around the creation of the creatures is a really difficult to to answer.

the base of the issue as I see it is , we have been modifying living things for as long as people have been around. Plants and animals alike have been permanently and in some cases strangely changed. Is the laboratory just the scary part? Or if they had bred 20 generations of gey wolf to turn into direwolf like creatures would that be better?
good question. to me,the doings in a lab are the big problem. Mendel and Carver and many others going back millennia have been doing genetic work. that well before DNA,genetics were even imagined. dog breeds i am familiar with are essentially human creations-GSD,rott,dob,others. horses and cows & much more. the Spanish flu and ebola arose in nature. covid and the lethal vaccines related are pure human creations. i have no control of any of that but i just don't trust humans fooling around with direct genetic manipulation. a lot of motives are quite malignant. the question "can we do it"? is often asked. "should we do it" never asked or answered in my experience. rare times that it is asked,usually never answered or just carried on by human hubris.

Brass Annealing Guide

Question for ya all, I'm a rookie at this annealing.

So I shoot 6BR and worked up a load with good velocity and ES. I have been shooting this specific load for about 500 rounds
now, but I went to the range yesterday and noticed my velocities are about 50-60 fps faster and close to pressure with heavy bolt lift. I'm thinking maybe my brass necks are getting hard causing higher pressures???
I'm shooting same Exact load as when I worked it up.

I just got my Annealez last week and was wondering if it is too late to anneal the brass, or is this something that needs to be done every firing?
Can I bring the brass back to its happy place or is it trash?
Should I just buy new brass and start annealing every firing from here on out?
Thank you for any help.
All the answers above mine are valid and I agree.

However, while I do anneal (or what is actually partially annealing), make sure that you do not have another factor causing your pressure increase.

- Check for a carbon ring.
- measure and check for case length growth.
- and yes, do anneal.

Looking at the Leupold Mk5

I'm looking at the Mk5 either 5-25 or 7-35 since you can find either of them for sub $2k online which Scheels will price match. It seems like their quality isn't quite as unanimous as the Razor G3, but that mostly seems related to price to performance (I think that's the best way to put it?). But if you're paying several hundred less for the Mk5 new compared to the Razor Gen 3 used, is it still "worth it"?

I know Leupold has a ton of users and fans like Vortex in PRS/NRL, but I see the being bought and sold much more frequently than the Razor. I guess I'm just struggling to figure out at what point is it work it versus just stepping up to a Razor.
