80s R700 BDL barreled action in 308W, heavy varmint contour, C prefix action with a Timney HIT installed. It definitely shows signs of being a ~40 year old gun, but still shoots. If you know these old R700s, you know they shoot. Best I pulled off with it was a .44” 5rd group with 175gr FGMM. Barrel was threaded locally in NJ to 5/8 x 24. 24” barrel.

A419 hellfire adapter is installed, I couldn’t get it off for the life of me. It can definitely use a cleaning or a new barrel if that’s your fancy, would make a good donor action for an m40a1 project. Will come with Leupold 20moa rail installed and KRG clamp on bolt knob (can be removed).

$600 shipped OBO, will include the original trigger as well.

I thought some of you would find the project I've been working on interesting. This is my AR10 style rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC and 300 WSM:


The lower receiver is my design, it accepts AICS short action mags. The mags allow for slightly longer OAL for the 300 WSM and factory length 6.5 PRC cartridges, plus they're a lot more stout than AR mags IMO. I'm still experimenting with the gas system and buffer and spring rates, both 300 WSM and 6.5 PRC guns are slightly over gassed. Other than that, the guns feed very well, no complaints on the magazine performance. I'll post more info as I get out and test more.

30mm, new never mounted. $250 shipped.

I have a black cerakoted PVA terminus Zeus 18" 6.5CR QC tenon barrel with approx 200 down the tube. Its threaded and m24 profile.
I shoot all 24"s and longer so this has limited need for me. This has never been hunted nor used in a PRS match all bench. I also shoot only 140s and heavier where this got around 2500fps with 140s. It mostly had factory ammo through it not pushed hard.
Its button rifled.

460 shipped.

New Gen 2 Cyke Pod Double Pull, I bought this and a lightweight to see which one I wanted to keep and decided on the lightweight before I even took this one out of the box.

Building for PRS... this seems like a real challenge to me, maybe y'all can make it an easier decision.

So i recently picked up one of those area 419 barreled actions (Tenacity/ Proof Comp 6GT) that they no longer sell... I have a 6XC reamer and barrel as well (both barrels are heavy contour and low round count) . I have more/better brass for the XC and a lot of 115gr DTACs. I have as many 105 Berger VLDs for the GT, but less brass and the brass I have is Hornady (GAP head stamped).

The GT has 5/8x24 thread and I have a G3 fat bastard for it. The XC is not threaded and I have an EC Tuner Brake to put on it if I go that route.

What would you do FIRST? Both barrels will probably happen eventually, but if you had to pick one, what would you go with and why?

Also, would you put the EC Tuner on the 6gt while it's at the Smith or just run it with a G3 Fat Bastard?

Thinking about selling my 1-10 mil with scalorworks leap mounted and used very little in immaculate shape with a box. I’m not sure what they’re worth today but I’m thinking $1850 with the mount. I’d love to trade for a quality optic in the 15-20x top end mag range also in mils. I’ll get pictures tomorrow or maybe the next day or maybe never I forget things often, but it looks just like a gen 3 razor in a scalorworks LEAP mount.

I just bought a Dpms ar 10, does anyone have any experience with them? I’ve seen mixed reviews but cannot find anything recent .

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

For those who are old and partially deaf like me, any tips or thoughts on what to get, what to look out for/pitfalls when getting insurance with Medicare?

I have parts A&B, but am no longer covered on my wife's policy so need to pick something up.

I'll be meeting a representative later today to see what policies she has available. Senior Benefit Solutions, I guess I are one now.

Thanks!

Just on a whim I ordered this watch directly from Garmin - directly 'cause I have an account with them, the coyote brown is not available locally, and they have free 2-day shipping. Link to Garmin at the end.



It's the Garmin Instinct 2X Tactical in coyote brown. Very cool, solar powered too. If you look at the picture above it says the battery charge is 28d, as in DAYS! But, kind of a steep learning curve if you want all the trimmings. It works great out of the box but there is sooo much it can do, and there's a lot to read to do that.

Garmin has some other higher end Tactical watches but they are north of $1200. This one was 499, and after you get one you can log in to Applied Ballistics and get their software. Be careful doing that because they will try to charge you $300. When you dig down you can find a neutered version that only holds one rifle at a time for $100, but then I can only shoot one at a time so big F deal.

And it's a lot less than $1200 for the Gamin Tactix but still does everything that one does except a slightly smaller screen, no sapphire glass and no color screen. As for the color screen, have you ever used an iPhone outside in direct bright sunlight? It's useless! Color screens are not good in direct sun. Not this watch. It's B&W screen looks even better!

Be forewarned again, it does so much it will take some time to get it set up the way you want it - LOTS of options. That said I really like the option to turn on the backlight with a gesture, meaning that if its dark and the watch is in plain LED mode it turns the backlight on when raise and turn your arm to look at it!

So far, $499 well spent. Lots of full feature videos on YouTube on how to use all the features.

PS. I downloaded the Hunt and the fish apps from the Garmin Explore App - both free . Both pretty cool too especially the fish app. You hook a fish, press a button and it records all the data - time, location, etc. Oh, and I did not mention that it tracks like 3-different satellite constellations for navigation (GPS is one of them) at the same time so accuracy is great.

Both are like new and in excellent condition.

1. Diamond Traditional Curve - $230 shipped
2. Primary - $130 shipped I have the box for this one

Can anyone help with load or some starting data on this round ?

...I didn't bother because the odds of trump winning were so great that I'd really have to place a huge bet to get a decent return. I'd have to bet 10K and only win 5K if Trump wins

Oct 23, 2024 - Recap of the URSA NorCal October '24 event (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info and notes from Oscar)

Shooters, we had 9 guns on the line Sunday morning to engage steel at 2147 yards for our first match. Some tricky winds and some shadowing made for a tough match.

RickyRacer87 got 5 hits with his 33XC to qualify for the match. Not to be outdone, Shaun Brady got 6 hits with his 300 Lapua, and Amanda got 4 hits with her 338 Lapua Ackley Improved.

During the match RickyRacer87 (Doug) and Shaun both got 4 more hits and Amanda, showing she should put on a shooting clinic, got 6 hits, scoring her third achievement point.

We moved out to 2600 yards and RickyRacer87 came out victorious with Amanda finishing one shot behind him for Runner-Up!!! Congratulations, Doug and Amanda on the good shooting and also on your recent engagement!!!!

We had time, and we had shooters, so we held a second match with a little less wind and a lot more sunshine. RickyRacer87, new shooter Steve with a Curtis Helton 375 CheyTac, and myself all qualified for the match and, once again, RickyRacer87, with his 33XC took home the win. New shooter Steve took home Runner-Up and he did it with only 7 shots!!! I think at the next match he'll bring more ammo.

After the match we shot out to 3311 yards and did some much-needed maintenance.

Congrats to Doug (RickyRacer87) on your 2 wins and also to Doug, Shaun, and Amanda who all qualified for the annual 3K Match to be held next April.

Match Winner (twice), Doug (RickyRacer87), was shooting 299 gr. (David Tubb) DTAC's (with nose ring) out of his Billy Goat Machine-built 33XC with BGM Ovis (Defiance Deviant Tactical) action, 32" Bartlein barrel, Manners T-5A stock, and Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR scope on ERATAC 0-70 MOA base and rings.

Match 2 Runner-Up, Steve, was shooting 400 gr Cutting Edge Lazers out of his Curtis Helton-built 375 CheyTac with Stiller TAC 408 (TAC DRIVER) 1.600 action, 36" K&P barrel, Cadex Dual-Strike chassis, and Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR scope on a 30 MOA base with Nightforce rings.

The level itself is brand new never opened. The mount I screwed on with another level before I realized my ring brand made a specific mount for there rings (419). $215 shipped for both.

Seeking 6.5, 7mm, 30 cal Hawkhill barrel blanks. Let me know if you've got extra to part with. Kinda specific on contours. Thanks!

Anyone know whose Garmin Zero case Ray is using in this video?

I would like to build a composite metal deck in a new ICF house. The steel deck will be supported by Watkins hangers and steel joists, which are very strong. However I would like to keep the weight of the concrete to a moderate level, so I am investigating admixtures to improve bullet resistance to pistol rounds, .223, and 7.62x39 ammo.

Normally 8" of concrete is needed, I am hoping to have good bullet resistance in 4" or less. Any recommendations? The house is in a very nice neighborhood, I am mostly thinking of a "what if" situation and trying to be prepared.

Own 4xZCOs, big fan, but I've always noticed their turret cap set screws were very sensitive to finding the sweet spot when zeroing.

Unfortunately, I am running into an issue with a 4-20x ZCO (non-NLE) today with the windage turret where no matter what micro adjustment I give the set screws, the cap completely slips like I am trying to re-zero it, or it actually locks the turret in the "locked/down" position and I cannot move it.

Emphasis on I am making super micro adjustments, 5-7degree turns at most, and I cannot get the turret to function normally.

I have an email out to ZCO but was scheduled to shoot this rig tomorrow so thought I'd ping the hive mind to see what blind spot, if any, I have on this.

What am I missing and/or doing wrong?

Got a few things collecting dust that need to go. Prices are shipped to lower 48.

Steiner HX 15X56 Binos. Never been out of the house. Box and paper work included. $800

Steiner Predators 10x42. Been to the range once or twice and then literally forgot I had them. Box and paperwork included. $400

Razor Compact 11-33X50 Angled spotting scope. Like the Steiners, never been out of the house. Bought them for a trip that never happened. Box and paperwork included. $550

Swampfox Patriot 4-16X44 FFP with Sharpshooter Mil Grid Reticle. This was on a Benjamin Marauder I bought here a while back. Replaced it with a Strike Eagle and then forgot about it, cuz I put it on the same shelf as the Predators. Box, but no paperwork. $200

More pics available, just let me know what you want to see.

USPS money order preferred, but PP FF will also work. If you PM me I will only respond in the same PM. If you get a reply that's not in the same PM........it's a scammer

Have 737R action on order need to get barrel. Thinking Bartlein or Proof (stainless) 26in, target/competition appropriate profile (MTU, Palma). It appears those are not in stock - any recommendations on best places to source them from / get on waiting list?

Thank you
