A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day

So I just bought a nice Trijicon Credo 1-6x24 FFP Mil Red, all of 19 oz of it. And I got it for a steal of a deal. That aside, I knew I need some new 1 piece mounts that didn't weigh a ton, so I let my fingers do the walking in the digital marketplace.

And while shopping my angst was aroused by many a well known purveyor's of said mounts. Why?? Because many simply do not list the weight of their creations. I mean like come on. Weight or lack thereof is immensely important in cobbling together a good scope and mount combination. The prices are easy enough to find, but weight seems mysteriously absent in many cases.

I first went to Trijicon since mating a scope with the makers own mounts seemed like a good idea at first. Well not so good. Trijicon's 1.59" High Cantilevered Mount caught my eye. They gave spec's on everything, except the weight.

Moving on to Nightforce, they had a nice X-Treme Duty 30mm 1.54" 0 MOA Ultramount #A699. But the weight of the dang thing is apparently a military secret as it is nowhere listed.

Badger Ordnance Badger Ordnance 30mm One-Piece 1.54" Condition One Modular 0 MOA I finally found (6.5 oz) only by going to Badger's own website. And they are priced north of $300 green backs, which is a bit spendy for a sub-1K$ lpvo like the Credo.

Rather than bore you with further travails down my personnel rabbit hole, I think you get my point. Scope base makers, especially those that charge well north of $200. semoleon's should put their weight of their product front and center everywhere they are sold. I shouldn't have to go to multiple places just to find out.

Anyway, in the end, I went with an old standby Primary Arms PLx 30mm Cantilever Mount - 1.5". About $212. bucks for a 5.9 oz mount, before tax & shipping, with my GI discount.

Primary Arms 30mm PLx Cantilever Mount - 1.5"

Mangy dog

I have killed 8 this year on our 80 acres and 3 of them had mange and looked pretty rough. I put a 20” 204 barrel on my ar and really like it. I use a thermal and judging exact distance is hard. The 204 flat trajectory helps a lot. And the accuracy and low recoil helps a lot too. I had a ba 1:7 18” barrel before. I like the 204 much better and I don’t miss as many now.

A&D FX Scale Deal

Anyone looking for another A&D FX lab scale that has been holding off because of cost or anyone that wants a second one...

Crazy deal on New Open Box A&D FX300iN model on ebay.

For those that don't know, this is the more expensive bigger brother to the Fx120i. Only difference is instead of a max 120g capacity it has a larger max 300g capacity.

They are listed on ebay for $379.99 but I used the "Make an Offer" button and offered $300 and it was accepted + $21.81 shipping

The FX120i is $580 at CE so this is a steal!

I heard of some people buying these and reports said they were brand new open box so I took the chance and I'm extremely happy.

Came in the factory A&D box with all the paperwork and the thing looks brand new.

Put my 50g certified check weight on it and it's dead on. It does NOT come with wind screen. Doesn't bother me because I bought this to use with the new IP setup when it arrives. I'll keep my current FX120i / Gen3 AutoThrow and IP Trickler setup together

From what I'm hearing, these are from a large lot purchased from a weed dispensery company that went under and were never used or barely used. Mine doesn't have a mark on it brand new.

It does come in NTEP mode to comply with state weighing regulations but you just go into thr settings and change it back to A&D standard mode. Took 10seconds.

Range Report First impressions of AB Quantum app

I've just got the AB Quantum app and I have to say I'm impressed generally but I need Kestrel compatibility because of all the custom gun profiles the I've created using the Kestrel 5700 Elite and the Kestrel Link Ballistics app.

Here's what I posted in the optics section about my thoughts on the Sig Kilo 10K, the Sig BDX app, and the AB Quantum app:

Accessories Proof Research CF 20" 308 Impact 737

Like new Proof Research 20" .308 pre-fit carbon fiber barrel for Impact 737 action. I bought this brand new less than a year ago as an extra barrel for a custom build. It has exactly 138 rounds of Federal and Hornady match ammo through it via slow fire benchrest shooting. Barrel was properly broken in per Proof manual. Barrel shot a sub 1" 5-shot group at 300-yards with Federal 168 match. Only selling as I don't need 2 barrels for this rifle (keeping the heavier Bartlein SS for PRS). Looking for $700 shipped. Email direct to [email protected].

.Gov Deferred Resignation

Work at the Forest Circus. Seriously thinking of getting out going into teaching and working part time as a forester. I could make the same or more and actually be home and spend time with my family. Stupid shit was going on under Biden and stupid shit is still going on now. We lost some good people due to Rifs and what not but the same idiots are still around and will be for sometime. Its going to be a while until things are fixed. Not being anti Trump, just burnt out on some of the things I deal with in the FS but would not deal with in the Private sector. Grass isn't always greener. I'm ready to just work on my own, I went through licensing, I have my own equipment, I can write management plans, do tsi, mark timber, NNIS treatments ect on my own with private landowners.

I guess the big question is, if I take the deferred resignation would that screw up any chance of getting another job? I am not sure how to explain that one away during an interview. I'm assuming the right answer is to wait until a new opportunity arrives but I am not sure.

22 creedmoor

I know several folks including myself have been playing with the 22 creedmoor for a while now. Please keep this thread to actual reloading information, and if you can please post some round count, barrel life numbers are all over the place.

Here is a brief summary of the cartridge. You need to know that it is a laser beam and varmint vaporizer! The 22 creed feeds awesome out of a aics/aw mags, has increased case capacity, and can toss 80gr pills over 3400fps. Also, you can use youre existing creedmoor die sets with a different bushing and seater or call up whidden and get a custom set. Using 6mm creedmoor brass is the easiest way to make brass, but some have fireformed 22-250 brass into 22creed.

Please follow the format of

bullet/ weight/type
powder
charge weight
primer
velocity
barrel make, twist , length
round count on barrel
any other info, fowling, groups, effects on game or varmints

thanks for the information
