Hello everyone. I've recently developed a hankering for a USMC M1903A1 Sniper clone for shooting long range. I am curious what everyones' recommendations are for gunsmiths/shops/etc. that would produce a good, reliable shooter. I'm not looking for an all original, high value collectible rifle.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm just starting to put together my list for my first bolt action rifle.

- I'm looking to stay under 2k. If I could do it for 1500 that would be perfect - that way with glass and bipod I'm in the early 2's
- Very happy with used parts if necessary to stay in price point
- I shoot mainly at 1 - 200 yards but am looking to build something I could fly west with and start taking to long range classes
- Ideally sub .5 moa at 100 yards (My WOA barrel 223 AR can do sub 1 moa ... looking for something significantly better)
- I just converted my LMT MARS-H to 6.5cm and would like to stick with this round for purposes of ammo stocking

I've been looking at things like the tikka t3x tactical, Remington 700 , Ruger precision rifle, but its a lot and I thought I'd come here to gain some good dope to start with.

other than the above, go wild. I'm down to collect an action, barrel, trigger and chassis all separate if I have to - but it would be nice to buy something I can shoot now and have an upgrade path later.

thank you all for putting up with me ;-)

Very nice sir.

My .308:

MEGA MA-10 Receivers
JP 15" Handguard
Badger Brake
Syrac Adjustable Gas Block
Lilja barrel cut to 17.5" from 20" (rifle length gas)
JP LMOS bolt carrier group

Well, I'd like to start a thread for people to post in-stock powder when they find it. It only works if people keep participating and everyone stays on topic. The last general reloading in-stock thread died, so I figured I'd start one for powder ONLY. Primers are typically out-of-stock within seconds, and projos are becoming easier to find.

Snake-Eyes · Sep 20, 2012

The last thread got accidentally deleted while trying to clean-up some moron's inappropriate post. So, let's give this one a fighting chance:

- No naked crotch pics
- No Politics
- No religious stuff
- NO celebrity nudes, fake nudes, or uploaded nudes

If you're posting topless pics they need to be hot linked and hosted elsewhere. If you upload something that draws undue legal scrutiny to this site your post will be subject to removal and you can be banned from membership.

'We will not follow an unconstitutional order'

Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker bashed President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.

"That’s unconstitutional. We will not follow an unconstitutional order," Pritzker told reporters on Monday while speaking at an unrelated event, Politico reported.

Trump's order, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," asserts that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution does not automatically confer American citizenship to individuals who are born within the United States.

The amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Some legal experts have said that such a move is a constitutional change and cannot be made by executive order. The move will almost certainly face a challenge in court from civil rights groups and immigration activists.

Trump advisers and some conservative legal scholars have previously argued that the idea of giving birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants is based on a misreading of the amendment.

I have a longtime acquaintance who is a “genetic psychology” professor at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. We were chatting about various things (prompted by the inauguration, and I’m sure you can guess his personal persuation on that subject) when he went into that they recently concluded a long-term study that included political identity/affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc amongst other criteria in the study that affects mental health.

Now comes the FUN part! The “University” is REFUSING to officially publish the results of the study because it literally TRIGGERED the entire staff, students involved (all postgrads), and they are “justifiably concerned that the current administration and Far-Right will weaponize their study for propaganda purposes against marginalized groups…”

The salient findings (none of which are the least bit surprising):

Liberals / Progressives / Socialists / Communists are 600% / 6 TIMES more likely to suffer “significant, chronic or non-trivial mental health issues requiring long term medical intervention” than Conservatives / Capitalists.

It only gets worse from there.

Atheists are over 400% more likely to commit suicide / suffer mental health issues requiring treatment than non-Atheists.

Homosexuals are over 700% more likely than heterosexuals.

The newfound Woke Religion of “Transgenderism” is where the rubber really meets the road. Those suffering from the mental health disorder of “Trans-anything” are 1400% — 14 TIMES — more likely to not only require significant mental health treatment, but they have an alarming tendency to have violent physical outbursts against themselves or others and are potentially more likely to engage in violence against perceived enemies.

They’re burying the WHOLE thing. Supposedly the study was partially funded by a CDC grant.

Does anyone know how the

Xero® C1 Pro Chronograph

Calculates standard deviation?
If I try calculating SD by mathematical mean I get different results.

Trigger Monkey · 2025-01-21T23:00:01-0500

Over the weekend I realized that it'd be handy to have a single tool to help pop the take down pins since they're pretty tight on my lowers and remove the hammer/trigger pins if/when I want to swap parts. I know there are already tools available that do this but one I found was $25 and I already had everything I needed to make one. A 1/2" piece of oak dowel rod, some delrin, some brass rod, and I was in business. The wire loops is mainly to keep the tool from rolling off.

Congratulations to ZCO!

"ZCO scopes picked up 6% more shooters among this group to land at 20% overall. That was enough to edge out Leupold from the top spot that it held last year. Leupold represented 19% of the pros this year, compared to 22% last year.

Tangent Theta scopes went from 2nd to 3rd most popular but were once again just 2% behind Leupold. Nightforce had a similar showing year-over-year with a respectable 13%. Kahales picked up a few percentage points to land at 11% today, and Vortex dropped from 14% to 10% among this group of pros."

Zero Compromise Optic (ZCO) Scopes: 20% of Pros

20% of the top 200 ranked shooters in the PRS said they were running a Zero Compromise scope when I surveyed them at the end of the 2024 PRS Season. That included 3 of the shooters who finished the 2024 PRS Season in the top 10 in the Open Division, which was as many as any other brand among the top 10. They also had a total of 12 among the top 50 competitors, which means they were well-represented at every level.

Can I get some advice on a .243?

I'm going to be running a 103-108-109 grain ELDX /ELDM out of a 22" 7.5 twist carbon proof. (BOLT GUN)

My goal is a stout load to make high 2900 to low 3000 FPS. I hoping to find a fast accuracy node. I'm not sure I can make 3100 safely.

What brass, what powder should I start with? Isn't there a small primer variety out there too?

Thanks

Prices not negotiable, no trades. Iron sights are the wave of the future for true passive aiming

Pondskipper · Sunday at 2:44 AM

Purchased a 40x action that’s US marked above the serial number and clip slotted as well as drilled and tapped for iron sights on the right rear of the action body that was from the best of my knowledge all done at the Remington custom shop and was NOS from their closure that was picked up by PTG, the entire bolt assembly is all PTG which I did myself and is a one piece bolt with small diameter firing pin, m16 style extractor and swept handle. My question is, what would this action have originally been used for?

Why are we seeing so many ziess s3 for sale? Are they not holding up and tracking? Is the glass not that great what would they compare with? Also seems to be a fair amount of zco forsale what’s the deal with so many of them being sold? Maybe someone just spent to much money on an impulse buy as a new shooter and they just don’t want to sit in that much money invested in a scope. I’m looking to upgrade my optics a couple of hunting with longer shots, and some more for dialing shooting long range steel and PRs nrl style shooting.

Leveraction35 · Feb 10, 2024

I’m in the beginning stages of building/assembling my next coyote specific rifle. I do prefer bolt action rifles, but I would surely consider an AR platform, the weight was always what turned me off to ARs for hunting. 95% of my hunting is done at night so a “dead right there” caliber would be preferred. Where I hunt, I seriously doubt I will ever shoot more than 250 yards, its just not possible. I also need a threaded barrel… lastly, I’d prefer not to blow them into smithereens, I like to keep the nicer furs

Currently in shoot a 223 savage axis, VERY accurate, but it’s isn’t threaded, I hate the Oryx chassis and there isn’t much aftermarket accessories available for the Axis line. With the 223 I’ve had a handful of coyotes make it 150 yards before dying which was a pain in the rear at night to find in tall grass.

Let me know what you guys are shooting.

GreenJavelin · Nov 7, 2024

Thought I'd post a quick result from my first time shooting this gun; haven't been able to find much data.
Also sorry I forgot the chrono so i'll have to save that for another time.

Here's the setup, pretty simple 16", shot from a bench rest but with only a 1-8x optic:

Range 100y
Ammo factory 130gr Federal GMM Berger
First group, cold bore, suppressed, 7 shots, 4.77 MOA:

Shooting setup, taken right after first group :

Worst group from the night was the last group, everything heated up pretty well. This was also 7 shots, .873 MOA spread.

For a relatively thin, chrome-lined CHF factory barrel, it's unexpectedly accurate for what it is; I was delighted to see that. More magnification could also have helped, I was still shouldering the rifle in the benchrest and there was movement. I'll take it out to distances up to 1000m over the next few months and see if these outcomes are reinforced. Nevertheless, for my purposes this initial result looks promising.

and preferably also a carrier key staking tool and complete BCG. I posted this story in one of the 5.56 reloading threads but it bears repeating here.

I have a 5.56 gas rifle and it has a 14.5 inch super duty mid-length gas upper which shot fine for several thousand rounds with h2 buffer + super 42 spring and never had a problem with any type of 5.56 factory loaded ammo from 55 grain plinking to Black Hills 77gr OTM's nor any issues with my hand loads which were mostly 77gr SMK's with TAC. Then the last two sessions I was at the range I was getting stove piping and short cycling and no lock backs with familiar factory 5.56 ammo. I checked the gas rings and they tested fine. When I switched to carbine buffer weight and weaker spring I was able to fix the short stroking and it was able to lock back....but something still didn’t sit right with me, it was odd it randomly having low gas signs with the same buffer/spring I always used (I thought it was due to less pressure from cleaning carbon rings out more thoroughly before those last two sessions) but luckily @.505gibbs reminded me to check the gas key screws and that was the root cause of the problem.

Somehow on this geissele BCG with only a few thousand round on it the gas key screw closest to the gas port sheared off.

To their credit they responded to my warranty claim in less than 24hrs and are shipping me a new carrier/key and included shipping label for me to send the old one back.

In the future I will have spare gas key, screws, and sealant on hand. Torque them down with some oil to 50 in-lbs with some sealant and a smoothed face and it will work in a pinch without staking. I will also test up to 30 in-lbs the screws any time I take the carrier out just to see if any are egregiously loose.

Hopefully this PSA helps folks avoid the same headache I was trying to trouble shoot.

For some good tips on installing a new gas key, etc. see this SOTAR video:
