I may be looking for a Unicorn, I thought I would check with the Hide mind.

I have been doing quite a bit of pest and predator hunting since 2021. As I have become more exposed to it, incorporating a thermal device seems like the way to go at this point. What I would ideally like to do is have a thermal that serves three different functions. 1) I would like it to be a inline clip on that sits in front of my day optic. 2) I would like to be able to use it as a hand held for scanning. 3) If it can do the first two, I would love to be able to attach it to a bridge and use it helmet mounted sometimes. Of the three wishes, the one that is most important to me is the inline. If I can get a thermal that I can mount and it does not impact zero very much, that would be ideal. I would also like to keep the total cost at or below $7,500.

Hello, Friends.

A few months ago, I came across a very nice 1967 Model 70 Match Rifle. It has the beavertail stock, target barrel and a short rail up front. Been wanting one for several years and at last found one at a reasonable price. I have several pre-64s in my collection, but this configuration has always appealed to me.

When I took delivery, the first thing I had to do was get a scope on it. I had a set of bases for the Model 70, but these were a no-go. Neither pre- nor post-64 bases fit the rear holes.

I did some research and discovered my rifle was built on the 300 Holland length action and had the .437" hole spacing for the rear base.

EGW makes a picatinny base, but I wanted a more traditional look. Here are some pics of what I found that that fits this model Winchester 70.

Does anyone have a lead for a minimalist holster maker? I use the raven concealment for my glocks, and would love that for my hk as well. Seems simple in concept, but damned I can find one!
Thanks!

So the Kollmorgen scopes were from Northhampton, Ma. It's where all the U.S. Submarine periscopes since WW1 have been made. Very cool company... moved to Northhampton during WW1 from, I think, NYC because of the threat of German attacks near the coast.

Kollmorgen was flat out during WW2 and had a massive output as U.S. put to sea hundreds of S-Class, I think they were called, subs. The Fish boats. They were all named after fish... before they needed Senate and House support and started naming them after states and cities... anyhoo... Kollmorgen made hundreds of periscopes and was massively tooled up when along came Hiroshima and... Boom... No more need for submarines.

Nothing. Nada. No orders. No sales. No boats being built... nothing. The company went from boom to... not a single order for anything.

Knowing that the Navy would eventually have to do 'something' to replace the aging boats... and with Rickover's 'nuclear' Navy coming together (Took 9 years to launch.... something like 7 years to get a periscope ordered!)... Kollmorgen was willing to do anything to keep their workforce together. For almost a decade.

So the best optics guys in North America (except maybe Frank Cooke's works) spent 7 years making... rifle scopes (for the returning GI's who wanted scoped rifles.) Spotting scopes. Even cut glass ashtrays.... yes, using optical-grade periscope glass... to make ashtrays. To keep their people busy and their works operating.

As soon as Rickover's navy got off the ground, Kollmorgen dumped all the ashtray and scope projects... I think they sold their scope line to Lyman?? Bearcubs? And stopped the ashtrays alltogether. But the result is that for about 5 - 7 years, some of the best scopes on the planet were being turned out in Northhampton... on the optical equipment created to make high-res submarine periscopes. And were being made at 'sportsmen' prices.

These scopes have some of the clearest lenses, best machining, best reticles (the dots are fantastic)... of the era. They are head and shoulders above almost anything else out there. And noone has ever heard of them. I still use one on my Sako Finnbear .270 and it is reliable as gravity. Dead nuts. Took the longest deer shot ever with it. 270 yards and right through the heart. Dot reticle.

Anyway... next time you are on 91 going through Northhampton... as you head North, look left and you will see a really tall square building/tower... about 20 feet on each side. With four rectangular holes near the top of it. That is Kollmorgen's Periscope Testing building. Every periscope gets assembled and tested in there before it gets sent off to Electric Boat or... whoever.

And that's who made your scope. Heck, maybe your ashtray, too! And why Kollmorgen Scopes are awesome. Even if un-heard-of!

Cheers,

Sirhr

I know the USMC MC1 scopes are supposed to be amazing.

Redfield bought Kollmorgen stuff but I don’t think they were as nice as the Kollmorgen line based on my example of one.

I’ll find some pics and come back.

I am looking for a reloading tray that allows you to nicely place cases mouth down. I have been using the cardboard trays from lapua packaging and really like being able to set the cases in the tray mouth down for certain parts of my process but would like to find something a little more durable/long term and am hoping somebody on here has a recommendation. Mostly load 6.5creed and 308 for reference.
Thanks in advance!

Mounted a few scopes in it, solid mount never had any issues with geissele. Believe this one is discontinued and they don't make 20moa mounts anymore, could be wrong, do your own research. 150 ppff

(I'm not completely fixed on LPVO and AR Parts only, just let me know what you have up for trade.)

Venmo, Cash App or MO only please.

Came with a scope I picked up on here but I wanted accessory mounting points. Pretty impressed by it though, never had one before. Holds zero, and you can get different size rings for it. It does have 20moa baked in, also has titanium levers. 160 ppff

Not sure if this is the best place to post this so, Mod, please move if indicated .

Been toying with the idea of getting a .30cal can that I can move around my rifles (so I am new to this world). Mostly milsurp, kit-built or as-built military semi autos i.e. AKMs, FALs, PRT91, PSL, M1A, AR15s/AR10 and others. I also have a couple .308 precision rifles (RPR and Robar SR90) Been doing a lot of Saturday morning reading/surfing and, good lord, what a minefield of options, opinions and choices. Frankly it’s overwhelming.

I’ll probably never put them on my SBR’d Dracos so no short barrel concerns. Not really concerned about heat from full auto or crazy mag dumps so rapid heat up (and cool down) wi Titanium okay. I’m mainly a benchrest plinker slapping steel out to typically 400yds, maybe a couple/few mags at a time slow fire. I’ve learned low-blowback designs may not be as quiet forward of the muzzle but seem to do as well with noise reduction as traditional baffled can at the rear and sides of the shooter. For the precision rifles I may end up getting a traditional baffled Can one day but for my semi-autos I am resolved to get a newer low-blowback design and I’m settling between two newer options on the market. Looking for any thoughts, opinions, experiences with :

Dead Air Nomad Ti XC (under 10oz @ 7”) OR Huxwrx Ventum 762 (14.5oz @ 6.7”)
• Both use a universal Hub system = good.
• Both are Titanium 3D printed.
• The Ventum seems to have a lot of independent seemingly objective, high-praise reviews and gets great marks for some of the lowest blowback performance.
• The Ventum’s guts can come out of the tube which I suppose is a plus for cleaning or service.
• The Ventum is under $1,000
• The Nomad Ti XC is pretty new and I can’t find much independent review of the Ti XC outside of Dead Air or Retailer interviews or what look like product launch videos.
• The Nomad Ti XC: How’s blow-back performance?
• The Nomad Ti XC is a bit lighter but I’m typically on a bench so not a big deal
• The Nomad Ti XC is about $1,100 but ships with either a 5/8-24 direct thread adapter or Xeno adapter and brake.
• (I read about some nasty customer support issues wi Dead Air but when you’re a bigger company and been around a while someone’s gonna get but hurt and spread it all over the internet for others to parrot.)

I’ll have to buy compatible muzzle devices for all potential rifle hosts but will probably just start with a couple/few. I don’t know off of the top of my head what thread specs are for that list of rifles I have. Are there pretty standard muzzle device options out there for standard NATO and ComBloc type rifles (AKMs, FALs, PRT91, PSL, M1A, AR15s/AR10 and others) ?

BTW what the f_ck is with the crazy $90-250+ costs of all these little thread adapters, tapered flash-hiders, brakes, caps or other adapter/widgets in this world? Probably a topic for a whole other thread (and probably is) but I bet if these were no longer NFA items most suppressors would be a couple/few hundred dollars, the hiders and brakes would be under $50 bucks, and other thread-type adapters and caps would be what they should be, around $10 or so dollars (unsolicited opinion, probably in ignorance).

Anyway, preciate any insights and, PS, it would be more helpful if anyone would post something more than . . . . “JUST GET a _______”.

Hi folks. I've been considering a TVT QDT for a while and just noticed the new 65mm ball head. Anyone have any reviews of the 65mm ball head and comparison with the 55mm head? The gun is right on the 20lbs mark, so I'm not sure whether the 55mm head would be stable enough. Thanks in advance.

So... don't want to type out all the details... So read it for yourself.


But as the chaplin for the "Fightin' 69th" which traced its roots to the Civil War as a New York regiment made up largely of Irish Immigrants... he is recognized as a hero of WW1.

He was the epitome of leadership and served alongside "Wild Bill" Donovan (MoH and founder of the OSS). A young Douglas MacArthur considered him to be an icon.

He was, as far as I am concerned, the epitome of the Irish American who rose (against much opposition) from hated immigrant to the very symbol of Law and Order in America. A man who blended faith, patriotism, leadership and mentorship... and who helped make being of "Irish descent" into the very essence of being American.



On this, St. Patrick's Day... this is the kind of Irishman who helped build modern America. And who probably, almost noone, has ever heard of.

Erin go Bragh!!!!

PS. I'm of Scot descent. So for me to say anything nice about the %$#@ing Bog Irish... damn, this dude must have been someone!!! He was!
