Hello, Friends.

A few months ago, I came across a very nice 1967 Model 70 Match Rifle. It has the beavertail stock, target barrel and a short rail up front. Been wanting one for several years and at last found one at a reasonable price. I have several pre-64s in my collection, but this configuration has always appealed to me.

When I took delivery, the first thing I had to do was get a scope on it. I had a set of bases for the Model 70, but these were a no-go. Neither pre- nor post-64 bases fit the rear holes.

I did some research and discovered my rifle was built on the 300 Holland length action and had the .437" hole spacing for the rear base.

EGW makes a picatinny base, but I wanted a more traditional look. Here are some pics of what I found that that fits this model Winchester 70.

Does anyone have a lead for a minimalist holster maker? I use the raven concealment for my glocks, and would love that for my hk as well. Seems simple in concept, but damned I can find one!
Thanks!

So the Kollmorgen scopes were from Northhampton, Ma. It's where all the U.S. Submarine periscopes since WW1 have been made. Very cool company... moved to Northhampton during WW1 from, I think, NYC because of the threat of German attacks near the coast.

Kollmorgen was flat out during WW2 and had a massive output as U.S. put to sea hundreds of S-Class, I think they were called, subs. The Fish boats. They were all named after fish... before they needed Senate and House support and started naming them after states and cities... anyhoo... Kollmorgen made hundreds of periscopes and was massively tooled up when along came Hiroshima and... Boom... No more need for submarines.

Nothing. Nada. No orders. No sales. No boats being built... nothing. The company went from boom to... not a single order for anything.

Knowing that the Navy would eventually have to do 'something' to replace the aging boats... and with Rickover's 'nuclear' Navy coming together (Took 9 years to launch.... something like 7 years to get a periscope ordered!)... Kollmorgen was willing to do anything to keep their workforce together. For almost a decade.

So the best optics guys in North America (except maybe Frank Cooke's works) spent 7 years making... rifle scopes (for the returning GI's who wanted scoped rifles.) Spotting scopes. Even cut glass ashtrays.... yes, using optical-grade periscope glass... to make ashtrays. To keep their people busy and their works operating.

As soon as Rickover's navy got off the ground, Kollmorgen dumped all the ashtray and scope projects... I think they sold their scope line to Lyman?? Bearcubs? And stopped the ashtrays alltogether. But the result is that for about 5 - 7 years, some of the best scopes on the planet were being turned out in Northhampton... on the optical equipment created to make high-res submarine periscopes. And were being made at 'sportsmen' prices.

These scopes have some of the clearest lenses, best machining, best reticles (the dots are fantastic)... of the era. They are head and shoulders above almost anything else out there. And noone has ever heard of them. I still use one on my Sako Finnbear .270 and it is reliable as gravity. Dead nuts. Took the longest deer shot ever with it. 270 yards and right through the heart. Dot reticle.

Anyway... next time you are on 91 going through Northhampton... as you head North, look left and you will see a really tall square building/tower... about 20 feet on each side. With four rectangular holes near the top of it. That is Kollmorgen's Periscope Testing building. Every periscope gets assembled and tested in there before it gets sent off to Electric Boat or... whoever.

And that's who made your scope. Heck, maybe your ashtray, too! And why Kollmorgen Scopes are awesome. Even if un-heard-of!

Cheers,

Sirhr

I know the USMC MC1 scopes are supposed to be amazing.

Redfield bought Kollmorgen stuff but I don’t think they were as nice as the Kollmorgen line based on my example of one.

I’ll find some pics and come back.

I am looking for a reloading tray that allows you to nicely place cases mouth down. I have been using the cardboard trays from lapua packaging and really like being able to set the cases in the tray mouth down for certain parts of my process but would like to find something a little more durable/long term and am hoping somebody on here has a recommendation. Mostly load 6.5creed and 308 for reference.
Thanks in advance!

Mounted a few scopes in it, solid mount never had any issues with geissele. Believe this one is discontinued and they don't make 20moa mounts anymore, could be wrong, do your own research. 150 ppff

Venmo, Cash App or MO only please.

Came with a scope I picked up on here but I wanted accessory mounting points. Pretty impressed by it though, never had one before. Holds zero, and you can get different size rings for it. It does have 20moa baked in, also has titanium levers. 160 ppff

Not sure if this is the best place to post this so, Mod, please move if indicated .

Been toying with the idea of getting a .30cal can that I can move around my rifles (so I am new to this world). Mostly milsurp, kit-built or as-built military semi autos i.e. AKMs, FALs, PRT91, PSL, M1A, AR15s/AR10 and others. I also have a couple .308 precision rifles (RPR and Robar SR90) Been doing a lot of Saturday morning reading/surfing and, good lord, what a minefield of options, opinions and choices. Frankly it’s overwhelming.

I’ll probably never put them on my SBR’d Dracos so no short barrel concerns. Not really concerned about heat from full auto or crazy mag dumps so rapid heat up (and cool down) wi Titanium okay. I’m mainly a benchrest plinker slapping steel out to typically 400yds, maybe a couple/few mags at a time slow fire. I’ve learned low-blowback designs may not be as quiet forward of the muzzle but seem to do as well with noise reduction as traditional baffled can at the rear and sides of the shooter. For the precision rifles I may end up getting a traditional baffled Can one day but for my semi-autos I am resolved to get a newer low-blowback design and I’m settling between two newer options on the market. Looking for any thoughts, opinions, experiences with :

Dead Air Nomad Ti XC (under 10oz @ 7”) OR Huxwrx Ventum 762 (14.5oz @ 6.7”)
• Both use a universal Hub system = good.
• Both are Titanium 3D printed.
• The Ventum seems to have a lot of independent seemingly objective, high-praise reviews and gets great marks for some of the lowest blowback performance.
• The Ventum’s guts can come out of the tube which I suppose is a plus for cleaning or service.
• The Ventum is under $1,000
• The Nomad Ti XC is pretty new and I can’t find much independent review of the Ti XC outside of Dead Air or Retailer interviews or what look like product launch videos.
• The Nomad Ti XC: How’s blow-back performance?
• The Nomad Ti XC is a bit lighter but I’m typically on a bench so not a big deal
• The Nomad Ti XC is about $1,100 but ships with either a 5/8-24 direct thread adapter or Xeno adapter and brake.
• (I read about some nasty customer support issues wi Dead Air but when you’re a bigger company and been around a while someone’s gonna get but hurt and spread it all over the internet for others to parrot.)

I’ll have to buy compatible muzzle devices for all potential rifle hosts but will probably just start with a couple/few. I don’t know off of the top of my head what thread specs are for that list of rifles I have. Are there pretty standard muzzle device options out there for standard NATO and ComBloc type rifles (AKMs, FALs, PRT91, PSL, M1A, AR15s/AR10 and others) ?

BTW what the f_ck is with the crazy $90-250+ costs of all these little thread adapters, tapered flash-hiders, brakes, caps or other adapter/widgets in this world? Probably a topic for a whole other thread (and probably is) but I bet if these were no longer NFA items most suppressors would be a couple/few hundred dollars, the hiders and brakes would be under $50 bucks, and other thread-type adapters and caps would be what they should be, around $10 or so dollars (unsolicited opinion, probably in ignorance).

Anyway, preciate any insights and, PS, it would be more helpful if anyone would post something more than . . . . “JUST GET a _______”.

Hi folks. I've been considering a TVT QDT for a while and just noticed the new 65mm ball head. Anyone have any reviews of the 65mm ball head and comparison with the 55mm head? The gun is right on the 20lbs mark, so I'm not sure whether the 55mm head would be stable enough. Thanks in advance.

So... don't want to type out all the details... So read it for yourself.


But as the chaplin for the "Fightin' 69th" which traced its roots to the Civil War as a New York regiment made up largely of Irish Immigrants... he is recognized as a hero of WW1.

He was the epitome of leadership and served alongside "Wild Bill" Donovan (MoH and founder of the OSS). A young Douglas MacArthur considered him to be an icon.

He was, as far as I am concerned, the epitome of the Irish American who rose (against much opposition) from hated immigrant to the very symbol of Law and Order in America. A man who blended faith, patriotism, leadership and mentorship... and who helped make being of "Irish descent" into the very essence of being American.



On this, St. Patrick's Day... this is the kind of Irishman who helped build modern America. And who probably, almost noone, has ever heard of.

Erin go Bragh!!!!

Think of this thread as a petition to manufacturers to show there is serious interest in this type of scope if done right.

First I think we need to define what an MPVO is so we don't confuse this with a crossover scope or a hunting scope et al. The term MPVO is a natural progression of the term LPVO which stands for Low Powered Variable Optic and traditionally the "low" has been referred to as 1x. What are LPVO scopes designed for, by and large, the gas gun platform especially with the AR being America's most popular sporting rifle. But maybe you've discovered that while your beloved 1-8 or 1-10 LPVO is amazing in its own right, it struggles a bit with longer range engagements and PID. You might also have caught on to the trend of piggybacking or offsetting a RDS sight and recognizing the advantages this brings. The MPVO then becomes a natural progression of the LPVO that fills the gap between the LPVO and the Crossover style scope with the "M" standing for "medium" and thus medium powered variable optic and along with a piggyback/offset RDS bridges the gap nicely.

So here are my thoughts on what would make an effective MPVO:

• FFP design with generous FOV (EDIT and adjustable parallax
• Above 1x and no more than 2.5x on the bottom of the magnification range (anything more and we get into the Crossover market)
• At least 10x top magnification
• Lighter weight, preferably under 25oz
• No more than 12" long because this needs to also work for the night hunters using thermal clip-ons
• Low profile exposed turrets (remember we might be piggybacking an RDS and need to be able to see the dot)
• Capped windage
• Given that in general larger objective scopes weigh more, probably keep the objective below 50mm
• Must have a reticle that is usable for fast and close engagements at the bottom of the mag range (think of most LPVO style reticles) but also work at the top mag ranges (so a hybrid of both LPVO and long range FFP reticle).
• EDIT: Excellent illumination would be a plus, center daylight bright.

Why have so many MPVO style scopes failed? Personally I think many of the existing scopes that come close to the above have struggled, not because there is no demand, but because the manufacturers blow it on one of the above criteria. We are finally seeing some movement in this area with the new ZCO 2-10x30, the Leupold Mark 5 2-10x30 (especially with new CMR-Mil reticle), the Steiner H6Xi 2-12x42, the March 1.5-15x42 and one of the older designs in the Athlon Helos BTR G2 2-12x42.

Share your thoughts and ideas...

UPDATE 02/20/2025:
Okay, after almost 1 week we have 154 entries into the poll.


For political polls they are often using a sample polling size of about 2000 to 3000 people to represent the 150,000,000 people who vote in our country. Let's take the high number of 3000, that is just 0.00002 of the people represented which if I have my numbers right means the 154 respondents above represent 7,700,000 shooters (that's right, almost 8 million shooters , that is if I did my math correctly which was never my strong suit).

So according to the above numbers, manufacturers take notice, that means that 42% would like to see a 2-12x42 scope that fits the MPVO criteria laid out in the OP above, or put another way, 3,249,400 (three million two hundred and fifty thousand) shooters are interested in an MPVO done right.

Let's be clear once again and I'll start by stating what an MPVO is not, an MPVO IS NOT a crossover scope (though it could be used for crossover applications on a hunting rifle that is also used for long range steel shooting). An MPVO IS the next evolutionary step from an LPVO and is intended first and foremost for the gas gun crowd; therefore, it cannot have a higher bottom magnification than 2.5x (any higher puts it into the crossover category). An MPVO serves as an alternative to the limitations of the LPVO for PID and longer distance engagements while still maintaining a lighter weight, this is a short/compact FFP scope with parallax adjustment, lower profile exposed elevation turret (locking ideal), bright illumination and most importantly a reticle that works for quick engagements at the bottom magnification with a mrad hash option that works at higher magnifications for longer distance engagements.

By the way, this was meant to be somewhat in jest with the above numbers, we understand that polling can be a bit skewed (especially when they focus in the wrong area to represent a fair demographic) but it does help to understand a sampling of interest from a community.

UPDATE 03/03/2025:
Okay, we are just over two weeks into the poll and at 185 total votes; however, with 30 some more votes than last week, we went from 42.2% to 41.6%, so rounding shows we are staying at a steady 42% for the 2-12x42. Hopefully this gives manufacturers something meaningful to chew on and consider. The next higher percentage below is from the "I don't care" crowd who just want something with a better reticle in a FFP scope - something that works well at bottom magnification and at top and the third highest percentage is what I would call a hybrid between a crossover and an MPVO with the 2.5-15x44. Unfortunately, it takes at least a couple years to flush out a design, what we need is a good LOW 2-12x42 design that other manufacturers can OEM and put in their reticles (reticles designed for MPVO/crossover) and their turrets (lower profile).



We are now just over a month in and the numbers are holding pretty steady. We have about 15% increase in votes (from above) but the 2-12x42 remains the top option with the next top being the "just make the reticle right" crowd.

Anyone happen to know the screw size of the screws that attach the NV bridge to the BA Comp? I purchased a used chassis and it was missing these screws. I was gonna going to call MPA and run up to ace but MPA is closed.
