That looks like a Boyd's stock for your Savage Impulse. Correct?

Did you also add and ARCA rail to it? If so, which brand did you use?
Click to expand...
Correct. I tried a few different Salmon River Solutions rails. This vid shows them both. The rail setup shown near the end is what I've been running the last year or so.

KMW thread

Another rookie question: How can I move the cheek piece all the way to the left or right laterally?
Click to expand...
Hey Eric.

#1: Loosen the crossbolt tensioning the clamp body.

#2: The bottom of each column/leg will have a 3/16" hex drive machined into the bottom.

#3: Remove the cheek rest assembly, and break lose BOTH columns. This will release the tension on the backplate and allow lateral movement.
Once you have the cheek rest adjusted L/R, tighten both columns to lock down your preferred position.

#3A: Most of the stocks hosting KMW LoggerHead hardware have two small holes drilled into the bottom of the stock opposite the cheek rest.
You should be able to access the columns through those two 1/4" holes without removing the cheek rest from the stock (after relaxing the
clamp body.)
*Some of the MCS stocks are not inletted with these two holes.

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

vh20 said:
Garmin is wasting their time doing useless updates that crash the system to give you a worthless BC (based off of what,100 yds of performance?). This cannot compare to an Applied Ballistics CDM done with a Doppler that costs well over $100K out to distances as far as we can shoot. WHY would I want to screw around with exporting data into spreadsheets and computing it myself when the unit I already purchased could do it if properly programmed? It CANNOT give me a useful BC based off the 100-ish yards it has the power to measure, but it ABSOLUTELY could give me an accurate measurement of my ES/SD if I could reactivate the session after the rifle has cooled. I really don’t get your resistance to the idea of adding a simple feature that EVERYONE I know with a Garmin wants, and not understanding the value of that feature. If you look back through threads, this THE big request for an update.
Click to expand...
I'm sure Garmin is monitoring this thread. I can't speak for Garmin nor do I pretend to understand what % of their user base is requesting this feature request. Maybe "everyone" is a smaller sampling than you think. So why bark at me? Like I have any say in any of this.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that the money hasn't been invested yet, and many stand in line to commit but don't always fully come through.

The below was AI generated, but there were commitments ... these were just some plant investments.


In the past two years, several major foreign companies have announced or made significant investments in new plants in the U.S., particularly in the EV, battery, semiconductor, and manufacturing sectors. Here are some of the biggest:

1. EV & Battery Manufacturing​

  • Hyundai Motor Group (South Korea) – $5.54 billion for an EV and battery plant in Black Creek, GA.
  • LG Energy Solution (South Korea) – $5.5 billion for a battery plant in Arizona.
  • Toyota (Japan) – $3.4 billion for battery production in North Carolina.
  • Honda & LG Energy Solution (Japan/South Korea) – $4.4 billion for a battery plant in Ohio.
  • Panasonic (Japan) – $4 billion for an EV battery plant in Kansas and $4 billion+ for another in Oklahoma.
  • Samsung SDI & Stellantis (South Korea/Netherlands) – $3.2 billion for a battery plant in Indiana.

2. Semiconductor & Tech Manufacturing​

  • TSMC (Taiwan) – $40 billion for two semiconductor plants in Arizona (largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history for semiconductors).
  • Samsung (South Korea) – $17 billion for a semiconductor fab in Texas.
  • SK Hynix (South Korea) – $15 billion for chip packaging and R&D facilities in the U.S. (exact locations TBD).
  • Infineon (Germany) – $700 million for a semiconductor plant in Texas.

3. Other Manufacturing & Industrial Investments​

  • BMW (Germany) – $1.7 billion for EV and battery production in South Carolina.
  • Volkswagen (Germany) – $2 billion for EV production in Tennessee.
  • Daimler Truck (Germany) – $650 million for battery production and truck assembly in North Carolina.
These investments are part of a broader trend of reshoring and nearshoring due to incentives like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the CHIPS Act, which encourage domestic production of critical technologies.

That’s a whole lot of EV bullshit. Green Deal is dead.

👆That Sierra 51 is flat out old school cool. Congrats!
Click to expand...
Thanks, Mike warned me it was likely shot out based on his memories of who bought it originally. That said, the barrel looks pristine ( was told by seller that it had maybe less than 50 rounds through it), finish was near perfect and its condition is excellent. I may have defiled it with a new trigger and a area419 top rail, but it is now mine. I was only able to put 40 rounds through it but I look forward to many more rounds going through it.

Ring on bullet

Small neck tension does not automatically guarantee low seating pressure. You also have to pay attention to the neck surface and friction. I like to use imperial dry lube to lower friction. Another consideration is the diameter of the neck before it is expanded to set the neck tension. The smaller the diameter the greater the seating pressure even tho the neck tension is fixed at .002”.

I didn't even think about using imperial dry lube. I have so e sitting in a drawer by my bench.

Did you measure the neck diameter before seating the bullets? Did you expand the necks with an expander mandrel? Did you run them through a sizing die? Or did you only chamfer? Lapua necks usually are undersized straight out of the box and this combined with the annealing causes excessive seating pressure and bullet nose deformation.
Click to expand...
I did not measure the neck diameter. Usually with new Lapua brass I just chamfer then load. My sizing dies are Redding flsd that have have expander balls in them. I usually load for .22-250 with a 55 gr Vmax bullet. I wanted to try the 60 gr Vmax.

MOA comeback?

jumb5150 said:
Welp, my dumbass just bought a razor gen 3 6-36x56 in MOA. I was looking for a mil version and went on here looking for a good deal. I got excited that I saw a nib one. I went through the transaction and decided to check the photos and realized my mistake. Now I’m getting an MOA scope shipped to me. I have my first regional PRS comp in a month so I guess I’m gonna have to eat this one.

Point of the story is don’t be like me.
Click to expand...

It’s a screw up but nothing earth shaking. Still a great scope. Just run your data in MOA and go shoot the match.

How Relevant is the Nightforce NX8 4-32?

3rdfocal
PappyM3 said:
Everyone is mentioning hunting, but I have one on a match/misc rifle in FFP with the Mil-XT reticle and I really like it.

I found the 1-8 NX8 to be a little too tight of an eyebox (moreso tighter at 1x than I’d like). But the 4-32 isn’t a problem at all for eyebox. And while I’ve never used a ZCO or “alpha” glass, I find the glass to be very good.


On the SFP NX8s, what magnification level is tied with the reticle? I’ve thought about a SFP 2.5-20 for a hunting rifle, but I know the 4-32 gets a bit dark at 32. I wouldn’t want to be tied to max magnification on an NX8 for reticle use. I like the 4-32 as a 4-20/24. I assume the 2.5-20 is best in the 2.5-15 range.
Click to expand...
My particular reticle subtends properly at 16x and 32x. At 16x, each stadia equals .2 mil, at 32x each equals .1 mil. Very difficult to screw up.

I basically leave it on 16x if shooting longer range. I shot a bull last year at 150yds on 4x though and having that big reticle and huge FOV was amazing. I swear by lower power now for hunting.

ATACR has this style reticle as well. It's a 2nd focal mil-c that subtends at 17.5x and 35.
