I have an idea......

I have 2 AR rifles and 1 Magpul bipod (picatinny clamp). Instead of ordering another bipod, or carrying around a screwdriver, I've been thinking about using shouldered thumb screws to make this bipod easier to swap between rifles.
Dumb idea, or could I be onto something? This is what happens when I take time off work

Accidentally bought a new rifle...now I need glass.

Howdy,
I realize there's a bunch of threads on here about what glass to get, but given that people's price range and intended uses are different, the suggestions differ considerably. So here goes...
A couple of days ago I was meeting a guy to buy an old Remington 700 mountain gun. He was running late, so I dropped into Scheel's to look for a cheek piece for one of my Tikka's. While in there, I stroll over to the Tikka island and mixed in with all of the new Tikka rifles was a T3x Tact A1. At first glance, I thought it was new and didn't bother looking at the price tag because I knew it was out of my price range. Eventually I worked my way over to it and picked it up. It was a 24" .308 model...then when I flipped the price tag over and saw that it was used, with two CTR mags ( I happen to have 3 other CTR mags, so I have 5 now). Price after military discount...$1329 + tax. Admittedly, I would have done back flips if it had been in 6.5 Creed, but I still thought it was a pretty smoking deal given the near perfect condition. Needless to say, the credit card came out and I snagged it up along with another SilencerCo mount and bipod.
Its been a minute since I've done any significant long range shooting and back then it was either a M24 with Leupold fixed 10X and briefly a Mk13 with Nightforce 3.5-15x. I currently have two "precision" guns...one is a M40 ish thing in .308 that wears an old US Optics 1.8-10 MR-10 TPAL. The other is a LMT MWS in 6.5 Creed that wears a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50.
So now I have this new stick and there's a mess of new optics and reticles available and names I've never heard of along with prices for optics that have become astronomical. My plan is to temporarily move my Nightforce over to the Tikka just to make sure it shoots and isn't a dog before I drop money on glass. If it shoots, I'll then look for something to put on top. If it doesn't...I may get it rebarreled in 6.5, but now I'm nearly back to the price of a new one.
My use is really paper and steel. I don't really hunt and my days of military competition have long since passed. I haven't explored the PRS game but I'm interested to learn more. My budget is about +/-$1,500. I'm fine buying used/demo provided the scope is in like new condition. I've been eyeing the PX and there's certainly some good deals, but I just don't know what the "go to" is these days for my use and price point. Given that I'm shooting .308, I think something up to the 20x magnification should be plenty but I'm open to suggestions.
What says the hive?

Coach Gun Advice (12 Gauge)
- By Douglas-001

So as I consider what I need to round out the collection, the historical SXS coach gun continues to pop up. I have always wanted to add one to the safe but atypically dragged my feet.....
....I know that now is probably the worst time to try and sniff out such a shotgun, but I figured some solid advice from members would always help if I stumble across one. Wanted to keep it under $1,000, and exposed hammers would be extra cool unless those are just superfluous...No plans for any cowboy action stuff, would be recreational and something to impress my friends who all quit visiting me many years ago.....
...as always I would welcome advice and personal testimony from members.

Extraordinarily rare GL/SSC clone build is finally complete!
- By USMCSGT0331
- Semi-Automatic Rifles
- 5 Replies
I just acquired the final piece for my GL/SSC build, an actual Colt M203 40mm grenade launcher! This is a factory original Colt M203 40mm, not a converted 37mm. The Daniel Defense GL/SSC handguard is also original, it's not a cut down M4A1 rail. There's a ridiculous number of rare parts being used on this build, such as the Eotech GL40 sight, unique tanodized KAC BUIS set, and the engraved patent pending PRI Gasbuster charging handle. I love this build and I'm happy to have finally finished it, for now. In the future I might add a transferable lower, but for now this is the configuration that it's staying in. It's a heavy rifle, but it's worth it to have something different than every other clone out there:
M203 and lower receiver markings, the lower was made by Intl.Mil.Co. before they got the cease and desist for using the H&R rollmark:
Original Daniel Defense GL/SSC handguard with a NavSea marked rotational WMX200 and LA5:
Here's the rifle without the M203:
Right now I have a CAG used Vortex scope mounted in a Geissele 2099 aluminum/lithium scope mount, but I'm thinking about switching over to the Eotech/Wilcox set that you can see in the photo below. Should I keep the LPVO or switch over to the red dot for this GL/SSC build?
Does anyone else here have a GL/SSC clone build? If so, please post it here in this GL/SSC thread!
Here's the parts list for my GL/SSC rifle. If you guys know your parts very well, you'll know how ridiculously rare some of these parts actually are:
● Colt AF marked upper receiver
● Colt BCG
● PRI Gasbuster machine engraved patent pending charging handle
● Intl.Mil.Co factory SBR H&R marked lower receiver
