Legendary Thread Reference

Figured it'd be nice to have a place to go to find some of the Legendary threads. They can be old ones (like gecko45), newer ones (like buddly or recoil control bipods), or even as a place to check what looks like it might turn into a Legendary thread. I've seen a few times where different members have said that they wish they'd known about the thread sooner. This is where you go to figure out where some of the Hide inside jokes/ inside references started.

Friendly reminder. Don't necro a thread without a good reason on threads that are open.

Anyone can add a new link that they think deserves Legendary Status. If there is a new thread currently running I might not get there in time.

Family Holiday Drama: Thanksgiving Edition

Question for the Hide on their experiences with aging family members and holiday traditions. We're a week out from Thanksgiving and still haven't a clue on what the proverbial plan is. A lot has changed over the recent years. On my wife's side- her grandmother used to host her side of the family at her house and likely did so for over 60 years. She passed away last year so that familial tradition is now operating in a void this year.

On my side of the family- my Aunt used to host Thanksgiving for us but about 3 years ago health issues stopped her from being able to host and my mother (very apprehensively tried to fill in). Well my Uncle (said Aunt's husband) also passed away last year and my Aunt is in a rehab facility from recently breaking her hip. My own parents are having health issues of their own which complicates them from hosting Thanksgiving this year and now I'm in a situation resembling a Spiderman meme on who's going to catch the hot potato.

1732262107737.png



My brother lives in a different state and cannot come up to PA for a turkey dinner. My wife's sister lives in a different state but will be up for Thanksgiving but it seems that both sides of the family are looking at us to pick up the Thanksgiving torch this year. My apprehensions there are that we (1) just purchased the house this year and are still waiting on the furniture we ordered to be delivered and (2) Admittedly I'm very reluctant to enter this holiday as a host because I absolutely believe we'll end up being 'stuck' with it for years to come. To add to the 'joyful' nature of the situation, neither sides of our families necessarily interact with each other either so it's not like it'd be a harmonious joining of families if we did bite the bullet and hosted.

All that said- I'm not looking for any counseling on my family situation here, rather I'm just venting and wondering if anyone else has run into similar family issues with Thanksgiving/Holidays and if so- if they'd be willing to share what the issues were at the time, how they dealt with it, and what the hindsight option was.

Tis the holiday season and it brings out the absolute 'best' in families am I right?

Starting The Suppressor Journey ( Need Advice)

First off, if this is somehow in the wrong place, my apologies. Mods, please move elsewhere if appropriate. Thanks.

Beginning to study suppressors for my Tikka Super Varmint in 6.5 Creedmoor. Range gun. Is there such a thing as a suppressor, I suppose .30 cal, in a $ range of 500 to 700 or so that someone could recommend? I’m a real neophyte at this and it seems really complicated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Scale recommendation

I currently have a RCBS Pocket 1500 and is terrible with the drift. Picking the powder pan up and placing it again shows drift as much as 0.3gr and goes back and forth so there's no way to judge what is the correct reading.
No drafts, wiped the thing with dryer sheet and as away from electronics as possible but the issue is still there.

Other than the beam scale, is there an electronic one that won't drift? Preferably with an auto trickler but not a necessity.
Budget is less than 300USD. That being said, I wouldn't want to spend 300 only to find out that I need to get a fx120 for reliable measure, so if I absolutely need to spend more, let me know and I'll delay my purchasing.

Thank you

MDT polymer 3 round flush magazine into a Hawkins Precision DBM

Hi brains trust. Surely someone here has fitted a MDT flush 3 round 308 polymer magazine into a short action Hawkins Hunter DBM?

Its very close to fitting but the magazine catch seems to protrude too much to get past the latch or fit into the slot the surrounds the latch. Im unsure whether to sand the catch down slightly or make it fit some other way. I cant imagine i'm the first to try this, before i ruin the magazine im wondering if anyone has any tips?!

Am i wrong

I ordered a triggertech diamond 2 stage rem700 for my impact737r build. It came in a white envelope and when I opened it up the trigger was out of its recess and all the way to the side of the package. Did not take a Pic of that position. I slid it back to the recess and noticed a small nick in the anodizing. It was shipped all over the US, north to south to north then back down to me. The package it's self it beat up and crushed on one side. If I went to a store I would not buy it. I filed for a claim as my gunsmith said he would not use it without sending it in to have it checked at triggertech. The place where I bought it have been wonderful they said it wasn't shipped by them and the last trigger I bought from them came packed in a box with alot of foam. Am I wrong for wanting a replacement.

SOLD Burris XTR Signature 30mm Rings - 1.25 in

I have a set of Burris XTR Signature rings for a 30mm scope. Height is 1.25 inches (height to center). Really nice set of rings that I’ve used for multiple scopes over the last year. I’ve upgraded most of my scopes to 34mm now so don’t have a use for these anymore. They’re really nice if you don’t want to leave marks on your scope tubes or want to add a little extra elevation range.

Comes with the original case, instructions, and inserts.

Weird question regarding FL sizing

Not sure if this is just me and my guns but here is what I see after firing and resizing with a Redding Elite type S bushing die set.

I have 300 WM, .308win, 6.5cm and they all seem to fire a few times with neck sizing only then after the first 2 or 3 firings I would assume they would be my chamber size. So my 300 WM like 2.010 on my SAC comparator with a Mitutoyo caliper. I spray lube and I set my sizing die(on a Forrester CO-AX) until I get a 2.010 measurement(They are 2.014ish) when I start. I run 10 cases and I get 2.009, 2.006, 2.011, 2.012...

I cant for the life of me figure out why I get such a weird range of sizes with a fixed die in a decent press. I assume the cases arent all the same size when I start.

Below is my numbers from 50 rounds of PPU brass(I know its crap, It was factory ammo I bought for the brass when 300wm was hard to find). Its weird that the numbers get worse from min to max after sizing I would expect .0005 to .001 range after my process.

Any constructive thoughts would be appriciated. I know I need to invest in Lapua brass, I can't find any when I look locally.

Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29x56 UHD Riflescopes, Your Choice, Only $1,199.99

This is the lowest price we have ever offered for this great scope.

A titan in long range precision, the Cronus BTR GEN2 is an ideal competition scope for your PRS rifle or PRS trainer rifle. Poor weather and low light conditions are no match for UHD extra-low dispersion lenses. Cut through mirage and leave the competition in the dust. From precision shooting to the most demanding hunt, the Cronus BTR GEN2 is up to the challenge. The next generation of the Cronus BTR is now equipped with our applauded internal stainless-steel component turret design producing sharp, loud, tactile clicks.

UHD Glass - Extra-Low Dispersion glass significantly reduces chromatic aberration giving you an utmost bright and sharp image with true color reproduction.

The illuminated reticle provides greater visibility during dusk and dawn and other low ambient light environment.

First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out. The reticle offers quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details.

Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil

Fully Multi-Coated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses

XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches or anything else mother nature can throw at you.

Precision Zero Stop System - The system allows you to lock down your zero position and dial back to it with a sharp and precise stop right at your zero mark even you are turning it in pitch-dark or blind folded.

High Precision Erector System The high precision erector system processed by high precision CNC machine with +/- 0.0001mm tolerance level to provide you the most accurate power settings and smoothest magnification change

Aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it.

Exposed Direct Dial Turrets for elevation and windage allow you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes

Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product

Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater

Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside

Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times.

Argon Purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability .
