Cabelas Covenant 7 vs Arken Ep5

Hey there!

I've got a cabelas covenant 7 currently living on my 308 and I'm thinking about possibly upgrading to an Arken EP-5....


HOWEVER, the more I read about the Arken, the more I second guess this move.


Has anyone on here compared the two? I don't really have any complaint with the Cabela's scope, especially being that I got it for a steal (I work PT behind the fun counter).


Anyone care to chime in on this? I could always wait and get something like a vortex pst or a razor next year - just dont want this to be a waste.


Thanks!

MPA matrix pro-II possible in Tikka action later on?

I am curious if MPA will ever make a Matrix Pro 2 for the Tikka action? I know they have the Matrix Pro 1 series for the Tikka, however, I cannot find them for sale on your Euro optics nor a lot of places. I see that they still have the regular matrix chassis for sale.

Should I just wait or search for a pro 1? I am in immediate rush or even trying to compete. I am a newbie that is just trying to have a nice chassis to learn on.

Priming rifle cases…..how do you gauge when a primer pocket is getting too large?

I currently prime cases on a Forster Co-Ax reloading press. It seems to work very nicely.

Every once in a while i can feel when seating a primer that the force required is less than many of the other cases. The case still holds the primer and it looks well seated.

I understand that at some point the primer pocket can expand and that case should be discarded but i’m not sure how best to identify this threshold. Is there a commonly employed method to measure the dimensions of the primer pocket prior to seating a new primer?

Do you discard every primed case that is starting to feel less tight?

thank you

More not snipery, but vintage

In today’s episode of not snipery but vintage.

Walked into Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, TN yesterday afternoon. We were just passing through and did some sightseeing, also checked out Buds Guns.

Walking around the store, I always look for the “old”, or trade in section of the store. Most times I don’t find it, but SMKW had one on the back wall kinda tucked away. They had all kinds of old “pocket” style knives like Case, Old Timer, and such. Towards the end of the cabinet they’re were two little gems that caught my eye. One was a Randall #1, the other was this Colt Tuck Away.

So the basics of what I know and anyone can chime in.
Colt Tuck Away Hunter made by Barry Woods knives. This particular one is a 3rd variation, and they were all made between 1969-1973 iirc. They’re were around 2,500 of this variation made with approximately 15,300 of all variations made. This one has the original box, outer sleeve, and sheath. The sheath has never seen a belt through it, and appears as new like it shipped.

Looks like the "Swamp" is at it again!

Hadn't seen this discussed yet, and it is starting to bug me just a tad.

This whole business about "one big beautiful bill" for reconciliation (in the House) vs. Two smaller bills in the Senate. The Senate has quickly passed the first of the two smaller bills already, while we await the House "one big" bill. The concern being, the 1st of two smaller Senate bills does not include the provisions to make Trump's temporary tax cuts permanent. The continued fear being that the 2nd of the two bills won't come before the tax cuts expire later this year. It seems like the "Swamp" (i.e. Senate RINOs) want that tax money.

Is this really a big deal, though? Lots of things can happen. The first Senate bill could be "amended," or the conference committee can adopt the House Bill which does include the permanent tax cuts. And, should the tax cuts expire at year's end, how many $$$ are we talking about per tax payer? The media is giving me the impression that these other things (Border, Military, etc. etc.) are Trump's greater financial priorities... not making these tax cuts permanent. I'm not so sure. I can see the Border being a priority, but not all this immediate Military spending. I wonder it the "Military Industrial Complex" is at it again.

Thoughts? And, just out of curiosity, which would you prefer?

1) $5000.00 stimulus check from DOGE savings; or

2) Making the tax cuts permanent.

Elon Musk looking at buying MSNBC

Elon Musk has expressed interest in buying MSNBC as the liberal network is said to be struggling.

'How much does it cost? The SpaceX boss wrote on X on Friday, reacting to a post that falsely claimed that Comcast is selling the network.

Donald Trump Jr had tagged Musk on the false news, writing: 'Hey Elon Musk I have the funniest idea ever!!!'
As X users reacted to Musk's post, the X owner added: 'The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely.'

Back in 2017, Musk similarly asked what the price of Twitter was.

Four years later he purchased the platform for $44billion and rebranded it as X.

It comes as Comcast is spinning off into a new company many of the cable television networks that were once at the entertainment giant’s heart as consumers increasingly swap out their cable TV subscriptions for streaming platforms.

Comcast's move to spin off its NBCUniversal networks would have been a staggering move years ago, with its fleet of channels previously among the company's most profitable assets.

Accessories SKB 3R6218-10b-ew case local pickup North Florida 62x18x10 BIG

This is 62x18x10 Case with no foam (they come empty) and is new in the factory box. I thought this is what i wanted-needed but I found it actually too big with the 18" part.

I'm possibly going to try to make this work if there is no interest, as it does fit my RV and since its water rated i can strap it down in my truck.

Id return it but the return shipping was not very optimistic for cost which is why i wont ship this. Nearby cities are Gainesville, Jax, Ocala Florida

Foamed out this could possibly hold 2 heavy rifles, multiple rifles in soft bags, some combination of gear, or one phoenix bipod and a rifle lol.

600$
