I’ve got a couple in the last few weeks. My 17 Remington is money!

Sig Sauer SSG-3000 chambered in 7.62x51, McMillan Tactical Stock, and Sig Sauer case. Comes with 2x Factory Sig 5rd mags, 3x 10rd Accurate Mag branded mags (2 of which are not pictured as they're still NIB). Does NOT include the NF ATACR, however I'd be happy to sell it alongside the rifle if I get a decent offer on it. This is an earlier import model SSG-3000, from before SIG USA's started production with the shoddy plastic stocks. It's not quite clone correct for a "Behind Enemy Lines" build, but it's the closest you will get with a pic rail. I am the original owner, and have shot around 300 rounds of M118LR through the barrel.

Please keep in mind that this rifle was not a safe queen, minor cosmetic blemishes on the stock and along the barrel are to be expected. If you're picky about that kinda thing, let me know and I'd be happy to take more detailed photos of said blemishes for you.

Looking to get $2900 OBO, asking price also includes free shipping/insurance to your FFL.

This rifle is also crossposted to tacswap, just in case you see it over there as well.

Not looking for any trades.

Seeing if there is any interest with anyone that wants to trade their 700LA Manners LRH for an EH1 for 700LA. It is in like new condition and proven to kill critters. I sent it to Manners for them to throw in the Mini chassis after I bought it. Barrel channel is proof sendero I believe. I would like an LRH with same specs (700LA with mini chassis) if anyone has one they want to swap with.

Send me what ya got. Not selling, only trading.

Do they have a new website? Went to window shop a little and it's totally different. Hard to navigate, and prices seem to shift (dynamic pricing?).


@Euro.Connor

Getting ready to start the 6 ARC build so I can play with the different bullet weights and speeds, I am gonna pair this build with a gas gun so I can look at the progression from gasser to bolt in the 6 arc space.

My Zeus build is on a Zermatt Matterhorn stock which is just crazy nice.
The barrels are being spun up by Bugholes as we speak for some Terminus PreFit Action

I have a 20" and 24" barrel coming so can I can experiment with the shorter barrels in the 6 arc space as they intended but also a longer barrel to get the speed, in the end it may require a 26" to get it right for comps, but I think with the factory bullets we have a potential to bridge the gap in cost to play, correctly.

With Hornady having a :

105gr at 2750, we know this is probably too slow, it repeats the Valkyrie numbers but with a 6mm so...

Then they have the 103 ELDX which is 2800, might be the right first try, the speed is correct.

Finally for factory loads i am lookin at, the 80gr Varmint load 3000fps, this might be the ticket considering the results we are seeing with the 100gr 65CM. The 100gr 65CM is bad on paper, great on steel, so at 3k, the 80gr load might be the ticket

Anyway, this is my start, more to come

The green flag was....
There's no replacement for displacement is outdated.

I have a mild cam in an Olds 474 cubic inch motor. 495 ft lbs and 425 HP.

It sounds like a big block should. I am old school and just can't drag myself to put fuel injection on it. Would it help? Most definitely but I like carbs.
That said. I am not going to bash the young crowd with the turbos and the 4 or 6 mills. Hell, when the Grand National came out I wanted one. I had a 400 HP 355 in a Camaro at the time. It was getting smoked by a six banger and I wanted one.

I am currently about to start load data for my Dasher and am looking at what works for you guys out there (powder, charge wt, bullet jump, ect). I want to keep this thread strictly about data regarding the Berger 109gr Hybrid in the 6 Dasher, so please leave out your favorite 105gr VLD/Hybrid comments. I am using Alpha Brass and rem bench rest 7.5 sr primers. Thanks

We had the opportunity to compete in the 2025 Mammoth Sniper Challenge at Fort Chaffee. The match director Chris Andrews commented that this might have been the toughest Mammoth yet due to constant rain day 1, heat on days 2 & 3, and rain & thunderstorms the third morning. The dropout rate was close to 50%. In the end only 44 of 80 finished the event. We were lucky to edge out a top 20 finish at 19th place and finished Mammoth our first time competing. Over three days we had 6 rucks totaling 29.7 miles with a sub 16 min/mile pace carrying about 60lbs worth of gear.

Below is a list of the gear and food I packed. To the food list I added (2) oatmeals and (3) mini–Cliff Bars. Last minute adds to the gear list were a lingerie laundry bag, Vaseline, and poncho. A grand $4.59 from Walmart in total. My teammate carried 50 rounds of 6.5CM ammo for me. After the event on the drive back we summarized our findings and those can be found at the end of this write-up.



Weight

I took out the alternates; dry bag and cold weather gear. I stepped off with a total weight of roughly 64# with 56.5# in my ruck

Failures

My Kuiu Pro 3600 had a tear in the side at the seam and the load straps were frayed, pretty significantly, from rubbing on the frame. The load strap damage is from improper use feeding them through the frame. Kuiu was gracious enough to get in the mail a new harness and a store credit for my bag with a tear. My headlight, Black Diamond Cosmo 350, died Friday night and REI replaced it without a receipt. My Patagonia rain jacket had a failed zipper and it is enroute to Patagonia for repairs.

Not Recommended

I wore the GoRuck Mackalls and would not recommend them for 3 days and 30 miles. I would go with a mid-boot. I had 3 blisters and 2 hot spots. Taping my feet made one of the blisters worse. I read “Fixing your Feet” prior to the event but had little to no experience with hot spots and blisters during training.

Changes in Kit by Discovery Day

Day 1

• With my headlamp failing I wish I had packed a backup headlamp. Having to use your phone for everything sucks.
• I would add medium weight poncho for if your rain jacket jacket fails, to cover both shooters, or to cover your bag
• My sharpie and ball point pen did not do well in the rain. I would add a Rite in Rain Pen
• I would add a rifle rain cover to protect my rifle & optic from the elements.

Day 2

• Add Small mat to sit / kneel on to save your legs, knees, and feet.
• Add Small lightweight chair to save your legs, knees, and feet.
• Add Lightweight Sandals to let your feet air out
• Add Ranger Shorts to ruck in or sit around camp in

Day 3

• I would take more food. Probably an additional meal per day. Between active and resting calories we burned approximately 4200, 4000, and 3400 respectively per day. I only packed on average 2350 calories per day
• A medium weight tarp to wrap all your gear in when it’s raining
• Change to a tent that has more height and is easier to setup. Right now I have 8 stakes and 3 poles. Some of the lightweight hunting tents I am looking at have 4 stakes and a single pole. Our tent did very well keeping us dry. The tent never lost a stake or came off the ground with the storms. I would recommend an insert (bottom or tub) with the tent to keep water out
• I packed 4 pairs of socks and 2 pairs of underwear. I would pack 6 pairs of socks and 3 underwear.
• I packed 3 shirts and 2 pants. I would pack 2 shirts and one pair of pants.
• Multiple sleep aids did not work as well; Olly Gummies, Unisome, Advil PM, and Ashwaganda. The only thing that worked was NyQuil.
• More Ibuprofen / Advil. We didn’t have enough. I think I had 8 per day.
• Instead of foam inserts for ear pro pack something like Surefire Sonic Defenders.
• Nalgene for carrying premade coffee, oatmeal, or ramen. We had to use the provided plastic water bottles.
• Paracord for a clothes line to dry out clothes or fix failed backpacks.
• Add Ramen noodles & oatmeal to the food list.
• Lightweight dry bags to stuff items like a sleeping bag, pillow, clothes, ammo, etc.
• Another option instead of tarp, gun condom, etc. would be a pack cover
• A lot of guys were taking Pre workout before the rucks and it seemed to work out well

Closing Thoughts

I rucked twice a week, probably 3-4 miles average per ruck with final pack weight, and never rucked further than 6.5 miles. I did this for about 4 months leading up to the event. I ran and did bootcamps other days of the week. I felt confident going into the event. In hindsight, I wish I had rucked twice a day for 3-4 miles each ruck a couple weeks or month leaidng up to the event to get my feet and body conditioned to that level of load and demand. I also wish I had done more running interval training with pack weight. My teammate did this and fared better than me on the final ruck.

I severely underestimate calorie consumption and wish I had packed more food. It’s hard to explain, but you are constantly moving. Either rucking, packing, unpacking, shooting, setting up camp, packing up camp, cooking, etc. It’s a gear management marathon. You are just constantly moving. There were a few times a day I could lay down in the shade, hopefully under a tree, but those were in the minority by far. Any time you can get off your feet either on a mat, chair, or shooting bag it needs to be done.

There is something about being out in the elements for three full days that just zaps you mentally and physically. We had about six hours of rain on Friday and everything got soaked. It wasn’t particularly cold, 60degF – ish, but people were shaking they were so cold. I made the mistake of changing my socks immediately after the first ruck and the new pair got soaked with the rain. I was already down 2 pairs of socks, and it wasn’t even 9am the first day of the event. We spent the majority of the first day in the rain. It didn’t really stop until early afternoon, allowing us to dry up before the final ruck. I don’t think I was dry until like 3-4pm. The heat on days 2 and 3 just drained me. I did well with a hat, long sleeves, and long pants, but still it’ll just zap you and I am from the Southeast and accustomed to the heat. It wasn’t particularly hot either, in the mid 80’s.

Another thing I didn’t expect was sleep deprivation. We didn’t get back to camp on the first day until like 6:30. Setting up camp, cooking, drying clothes out, setting out clothes for the following day, inventorying, etc. it was close to 9 before we got in bed. With an early rise all morning of 4am-4:30am

So I wanted to see if anybody has dealt with Sgt Of Arms since the start of 2024. I have had a barrel on order from them since January 31 of 2024 and was given a 12-20 week lead time. Which I was fine with. Obviously we are over double that and then some. I checked on it a few times once it got over the estimate and got told about them moving barrel work in house and that setting them back a few weeks and I understood. So I’d call 1 time a month ish to see what the status was and got a new excuse every call. Now as of the last 3 months it has become nearly impossible to get them to answer the phone, they will not return voicemails either. Their website is automated and they don’t respond there too. I was finally able to get somebody to answer Monday and voiced my concerns. I was assured I’d get an answer on my order and the status by end of day. I have still not heard back and tried calling again yesterday and left yet another voicemail. I have tried calling quite a few times today and different times and still can get anyone to answer. Has this been the experience with anyone else lately? I know Eric is supposed to be a great guy and all and the company has a great quality track record, but this customer service is inexcusable and was curious if other people have the same issue.

TLDR:
Sgt of arms customer service is nonexistent and it makes me question doing business with them especially considering the fact that I wasted an entire year waiting on a product I still have yet to receive.

Whether you're in the field or at the range, you never know what distance an opportunity might present itself. This is where the 4-24x52mm comes in. Having the ability to walk around on 4x and knowing you can quickly go all the way up to 24x gives you the flexibility and ability to hit smaller targets with precision and aim at larger targets across valleys and canyons with confidence.

The VX-6HD Gen 2 4-24x52 is built around our Professional-Grade Optical System, which offers unmatched light transmission and clarity. Wherever you hunt, the Guard-ion lens coating is a stand-out feature on all Leupold hunting riflescopes that sheds water, dirt, and smudging while providing superior glare management and HD resolution throughout the magnification range.

With new competition-grade adjustments the ultra-rugged and versatile VX-6HD Gen 2 goes where other scopes can't. The wide zoom range combined with an illuminated reticle and level, integrated throw lever and a fast-focus eyepiece with flip-back lens covers make the VX-6HD Gen 2 ideal for low-light hunting in all conditions. It's 100% waterproof and fogproof, and like all VX-6HD Gen 2 riflescopes, two free Custom Dials featuring SpeedSet™ technology are available.

The ultra-rugged and lightweight hunting scope goes where other scopes can't. Its combination of features, durability, and professional-grade HD optical performance guarantees that it can handle any challenge you throw at it.

I've been working on starting to reload for 8.6 blk and figure it would be good to start a thread and share information specific to reloading.

Q has some tech data posted on their website here - https://liveqordie.com/86-technical-data/

Chamber Print - https://store-fwcq7xdl4a.mybigcommerce.com/content/8.6BLK CHAMBER.pdf

The first hurdle was figuring out a way to resize brass since factory brass I'd imagine is a ways out. I did manage to get my hands on a set of prototype 8.6 blk reloading dies that I'll be using.

I noticed at first I was getting some ripples in the neck when I did a full length resize and neck up from 6.5 to 8.6 all in one step.


Running the brass through an Annealeez proved to give much better results when pushing the shoulder back.
