Does anyone have experience doing sponge on camo paint? Like on the Manners or Springfield Armory type. I have an AG Composite stock in dark colors and I want to add some white / off-white to lighten up the camo pattern. Which paint would be best?

So I have one of those novelty sweatshirts right here that says "alcohol tobacco and firearms should be a convenient store not government agency". So it got me thinking about how the main convenience store in my hometown when I was a kid did in fact sell guns and ammo. Granted it was literally called a general store and also included a very small section for movie rentals. Wasn't anything special, but rather the same type of cheap guns you would see at Wal-Mart back then.

So yeah, any of you guys ever have gun selling convenient stores?

Where can I buy a tikka magnum action? I’d rather not buy a whole rifle, strip it down for the action and then try to find somebody that’s looking for tikka parts?

I'm looking for a 300 SBR for fun out to 200 yards, the occasional class and match, and possibly home defense. In all cases I would plan on shooting it suppressed, a mix of subs and supers. I currently have a Dead Air Nomad-L and a TBAC Ultra-7, though the flow-through designs are intriguing.

I have had good experience with both Daniel Defense and Seekins, so I've focused on them, though open to others. As I see it the main differences are 10" vs 8", 1:8 vs 1:7, the stock, and of course the extended handguard on the Seekins--looks like the Nomad would just barely squeeze in. I'm not savvy enough to understand the implications of the adjustable gas block on the Seekins.

Considering both are DI guns from established houses, are there any factors that would push you to one over the other?

Thank you in advance.

I’m looking to build off a Tikka action. Would I be further ahead to just buy a new rifle and take the action out or try to find and buy the action only?
I only found J&A to sell Tikka actions. Anyone else out there?
And when you find an individual selling a Tikka action, they are gone in a blink of an eye.
I would need the magnum bolt face as I’m building a .300WSM.
Is there another decent company out there where I can get an action for $800ish. The closest I found was Origin (closer to$1000)by Zermatt and I already have the TL3 in a 6.5 PRC which is great, but looking to go lighter in weight and cheaper$$$ build.

Any input, suggestions, information or criticism is appreciated. Thanks!

Test fit at home, otherwise new. It has extra color which isn't an option anymore. Placed a piece of neoprene foam on the cheek riser and put it in the safe. All the stock specs are in the last picture and weighs 37.8 oz. It's about a 10 month wait to get one. $1100 shipped

I've been working on starting to reload for 8.6 blk and figure it would be good to start a thread and share information specific to reloading.

Q has some tech data posted on their website here - https://liveqordie.com/86-technical-data/

Cartridge Print - https://store-fwcq7xdl4a.mybigcommerce.com/content/8.6BLK CARTRIDGE.pdf

Chamber Print - https://store-fwcq7xdl4a.mybigcommerce.com/content/8.6BLK CHAMBER.pdf

The first hurdle was figuring out a way to resize brass since factory brass I'd imagine is a ways out. I did manage to get my hands on a set of prototype 8.6 blk reloading dies that I'll be using.

Left is a Q head stamped piece of 8.6 blk brass, the right is once fired Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor

I noticed at first I was getting some ripples in the neck when I did a full length resize and neck up from 6.5 to 8.6 all in one step.

Running the brass through an Annealeez proved to give much better results when pushing the shoulder back.

I see that Manners is releasing this new stock at SHOT Show. They are calling it the Night Stalker aka MCS-NS. I am pretty excited about it and it provides me everything I want in a night time predator setup. I will wait to see what kind of price they put on it before I get my hopes up but if it's under $1500 then I think I'll be putting an order in once they open up the order banks.

Dudes, brand new to all this stuff. Trying to figure out the 9000 different reticles and how/when do you want one over the other. Not to mention dialing versus Christmas tree reticles. I have a couple specific questions and a bunch more that I don't even know how to ask yet. So feel free to read my mind and educate me. LOL

When do you prefer to dial versus a Christmas tree? Where is this purely personal preference?

Are there times when you want to scope with both options or do you pick a scope that just offers your favorite?

Is it way better to have a caliber specific reticle so all the holdovers are perfect and line up with the correct distances?

Is a standard Christmas tree style in Mills used primarily just to dial?

There's so much to this. I almost don't even know where to start. What do l need to know?

I hadn't seen this posted here yet, but SAAMI added a 6mm Grendel derivative called the 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge or 6mm ARC to their newly accepted cartridges list.

6mm ARC introduction pdf

The case looks like the shoulder has been moved back, and the neck is a little shorter as compared to a Grendel case. The published instrumental velocity shows 2,700 fps for a 108gr bullet.

I'm curious if Hornady is behind the standardization of this cartridge, the name seems to fit the current convention (PRC vs ARC), and the published velocity utilized a 108gr bullet as opposed to 105gr or 110gr.

Anyway, it's interesting to see a 6mm Grendel becoming SAAMI standardized, hopefully AR barrels in this chambering will start flowing soon.

Rodney65 · Friday at 1:11 PM

Sorry odd question but it comes up a lot for me. If your rangefinder's reticle and laser POI don't line up perfectly what's a good way to determine exactly where you need to hold on a target to get the best return?

I know some rangefinders make the reticle the same shape as the laser is supposed to be but I find they usually aren't perfect and some are pretty bad.

I saw some videos of digital night vision units with attached rangefinders and it was great because you could actually see the laser with infrared. Unfortunately I don't have anything like this.

Does anyone have system, something like using a solid tripod and ranging a telephone pole followed by a telephone wire, to determine exactly where the laser hits?

Having trouble using the site?
