Anybody ever thought about throwing an Airsoft AICS stock onto a Savage Mark II?

I'm building a Remington 700 in 300WM, and have been considering the AICS. I would thing the toy stock would work well on a trainer. But, at $250, it seems to be a big investment to find out that it would take too many modifications to make it worth while.

Any thoughts?

Here's some links if you're not familiar wth what I'm talking about.

I’m starting to work up a deer hunting load for my Bergara 6.5CM. Picked up some TTSX 120 grain projectiles.
I’ve always used H4350 in this rifle with good results. Anyone have a good load for this combination? Are they seating depth sensitive? (The throat on this Bergara seems pretty long.). My initial testing has been mediocre…

Looking for 5/8 and 1/2 plan b muzzle devices. Possibly rearden depending on the model. Let me know what you have thanks

This may qualify as a stupid question, but does anyone here know with 100% certainty if MDT's 10-round magazines for .30-06 are AICS compatible? I am considering an upgrade to my Tikka T3 to replace the bottom metal with an aftermarket model made by Redsnake Tactical. This should allow a T3/T3x to be able to take AICS mags, and equip it with the far superior mag release paddle. Anyone here that's made this upgrade, and recommends it?

Went to an old gunshop in Oregon this weekend and found a 261xxx serial number Remington HB in .243. Has Tombstone safety, BDL Stock and gloss black bottom metal. Looks like it’s stamped ‘64 but I think I’m dating it to ‘67? No recoil pad but they were full up on 16601 aluminum butt plates. I bought one then they gave me 4. I have the Badger M40 base and rings so I’m getting there. Who wants to build it for me?

This is what I have been waiting for.

60° throw is king and I couldn't care less about bolt head conversions, so this has me more than interested.

I picked up an old bedded MPA comp and repainted it. I have it back together and the bedding job was appropriate for my action (same action). I went to do a mag catch adjustment grabbed an MDT gen1 mag and it's drum tight and the rifle doesnt feed. If it fed i could live with it. I have 4 other newer MPA chassis, and these mags fit. I then tested a 6.5 PMAG and it fit and drops free followed by a bob sled for 308 and it inserts as expected.

I'm running 2.47x COAL and wondering if anyone has encountered this before and what other mags are suggested to examine. I doubt its the paint, it was stripped and cerakoted so not a very thick finish.

This stock had the old Comer, GA lazer etching with ARCA rail in the steel, a slightly smaller rear screw access hole, and the old oval style buttplate with tons of holes. Its not castle cut.

Looking for some help on a 2010 Ford Mustang GT.

I'm having an issue with its idle and throttle control. Check engine light is on. Car idles around 700-800 RPMs, and has (until just recently - will explain below) an unresponsive throttle. RPMs wont go above 1100-1200 even if I mash the gas peddle.

I was looking around on other forums about idle/throttle issues, and found a thread from years ago where someone suggested to someone with a similar issue to do this:

Tune would help with throttle response.
also give this a shot

1. Turn on car without starting the engine
2. Wait till most the dash lights go out (seems like two remain on)
3. Step on the gas pedal in one smooth and steady motion
4. Once gas pedal hits the bottom, let go
5. Turn off car and wait 4-5 seconds
6. Turn engine on
7. Drive

Repeat 1-6 if it doesn't work the first time.

I did that, and lo and behold, the throttle is now responsive and idles around the 1k mark. I have no idea what that combination did, I understand the throttle on this car is electronic, so I'm assuming something was reset? It still has a check engine light on though.

The car was just recently at the mechanics to change out the front lower control arms and struts. I'm not sure if something could've gotten knocked loose or damage during that?

What would cause this issue?

6.5 PRC Proof Chambered Prefit Carbon barrel. 22", 7.5 twist. Proof PN 113080. 5/8x24 muzzle threads. Fits Bighorn TL3/SR3 or Origin with a Hunts Lug. Barrel has 47 documented rounds thru it of Hornandy factory match 147 ELDM. I basically did some break in on the barrel and thats its, I got the 7mmPRC bug so I never really shot the 6.5 PRC. I didn't really measure any groups as I was just shooting steel, but the barrel seemed like it was going to be a shooter.

$550 shipped.

I also have two 100ct boxes of New Lapua brass that are available to buyer for an additional $250 shipped.

Just a warning to EVERYONE based on my own FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE here.

I have had my first top of the line Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 that had a defective illuminated reticle which only lights up 2/3's of the reticle while the other lower left hand portion is really dim ever since it was brand new straight out of it's box and dealer told me they got lifetime warranty so don't worry just send it in and wasn't purchased from a return friendly dealer OBVIOUSLY.

Denied warranty for a brand spanking new never used UNmounted (NEVER BEEN MOUNTED) top of the line Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 straight out of the box.

Athlon warranty and customer service manager higher up in charge stated within specs and not a factory defect based on design SOME percentage in their sample lots NEW MODELS and OLDER Cronus BTRs WILL have this noticeable dead spot in lack of illumination and to then it's TOTALLY NORMAL to have some Cronus BTR G1 and newer G2s with this very noticeable issue AND they will NEVER EVER (specific up front quote by manager) exchange them for brand new replacements as long as reticle illumination turns on regardless if it's dark on one portion and even if it's like this brand new straight out of their boxes. The Athlon sent in for warranty has to be obviously defective due to manufacture defect and not abused or dropped and that manager even stated they are NOT LIKE VORTEX REGARDING WARRANTY EXCHANGES FOR BRAND NEW SCOPES (UNQUOTE). Found out first hand the hard way. Illuminated reticles with deadbor dark spots or non consistent illumination over entire reticle aren't considered a manufacture defect.

I asked how about the Ares BTR Gen 2 and Midas Tac scopes which are my all time Athlon brand favorites what about if they have defective illuminated reticles? He said they won't because only the Cronus BTR line both new and old has this very obvious dark spot when the illumination turned on phenomenon at all brightness settings and zero illumination issues with the Chinese Ares BTR Gen 2 since they got a totally different illuminated reticle design and Midas Tac doesn't even have illuminated reticle anyway.

If you're even thinking of buying an Athlon Cronus please be sure to insist the dealer open the sealed box and install battery to check reticle at all illumination settings make damn sure it's perfect not dark on one part of the reticle before shipping otherwise you be stuck with one you won't get warranty exchange on due to illumination defect that Athlon straight out doesn't consider to be defective and will not improve on this obvious manufacturing issue I already asked that manager he said no plans to introduce any improvements nor have any plans for a Gen 3 Cronus at least past 2025.

The other recommendations is that Athlon customer service warranty manager said to buy the Nightforce sunshade for it and go read "snipers hide" for which model Nightforce sunshade and where to buy since I stated my Amazon problems buying several different Athlon factory sunshades multiple times returns and all that did not fit or did not match in color.

They do not have any plans to address the manufacturing issue with illuminated reticle nor improve on the fitment and color of the sunshades since they don't buy their sunshades from same manufacture of their scopes while he stated Nightforce buys the sunshade from same JAPAN manufacture as their scopes that's why they match perfectly no wonder because he even said the Cronus BTR Gen 1 and 2 are in fact made at that exact same Nightforce factory in JAPAN that's why the Nightforce sunshade fits and perfectly matches the Athlon Cronus. He said the genuine Japan sunshade cost too much so they decided to buy from other much cheaper manufacture that's why they don't fit or match perfectly and they have to charge at least $55 for it if they used proper genuine JAPAN OEM for the sunshade. (Strange since the Japan made Nightforce sunshade cost $30.00 MSRP RETAIL regular price when bought direct from Nightforce USA)

At least that higher up Athlon customer service warranty manager said the Ares BTR Gen 2 and Midas Tac no need worry about illumination issues unlike the Cronus BTR Gen 2 if you're one of the unlucky ones with the half side lit illuminated reticle they will not replace under warranty.

Fortunately (for me) the brand new Cronus BTR Gen 2 I received last week illumination is absolutely perfect aside from the unbelievably nearly unmanageable overly stiff turrets and controls with really sharp edges that WILL give everyone blisters if they don't use gloves. The manager even claimed due to Athlon upgrading to all stainless steel internals make everything super tight compared to my older much smoother controls Cronus BTR with illumination issue that's not covered under warranty.

Funny since my much cheaper Chinese made Ares BTR Gen 2s and Midas Tacs also have stainless steel internals too but have way smoother knobs and function that don't give me blisters or peeled bloody skin on my fingers.

Remember that manager outright said WE AREN'T LIKE VORTEX!!!

Better believe it.

I no longer recommend buying the Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 or any used Cronus BTR scopes regardless of price. If you get a replacement with a crappy illuminated reticle you're SOL no warranty.

Buy the Ares BTR Gen 2 or Midas Tac instead. Or better yet spend a little extra for an Element Theos around just over $2000 or Black Vortex Razor Gen 3 for $2450 I can guarantee you will be much happier especially with the Vortex Razor Gen 3 where you get absolutely no BS about warranty that's 4 sure. Too bad the new Cronus BTR Gen 2 is clearer than my Tract Toric ELR but the Tract Toric has night and day buttery smoother controls like a perfectly well oiled machine except for the stiff illumination knob.

Why am I not totally surprised since the owners of Athlon used to work for BUSHNELL!!!

As you may know, I'll be participating in my first match (Gadsden) on Feb 24th. Thanks to all of you who have given me plenty of advice this week, I really appreciate it!

I'll be "dancing with the girl that brought me there"...in that I'll be shooting my GAP Impact (hunting) rifle in 6.5 PRC. It's heavy, does the job, and I can't afford another cool looking tactical rifle with every possible rail and attachment right now.

I've read a few threads where the Production rifle Division is seen as a joke, but I don't understand why. Is it just that the higher-end rifles and optics are that much more precise than using a sub-$3,000 and sub-$2,500 scope? After I first read the rules it seemed to me that it would be more of a challenge to use production equipment - as if to level the playing field for the match.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Thanks!
