Accessories Wtt-My long proof 6.5prc or creedmoor proof for same but short PRC

Thanks for looking. I know it's a Longshot. I have a 26" PRC barrel on an origin action that Spartan Marc made me before he moved. it's a legit 1/2MOA shooter with factory eldx and has killed a number of nice pigs.

I also have a 22" proof solus prefit that i'm not shooting.

I'd like to trade either for a carbon 6.5prc at 20 or 22". Only interested in shouldered barrells.

Pics below of the assembled spartan as well as the dismounted creed barrel.

Rifle Scopes LPVO Comparison: March Shorty 1-10x vs Kahles K18i-2 1-8x

I am looking to get a LPVO for my 16" 5.56mm AR and have settled between the March 1-10 shorty and the Kahles K18i-2. I know that these optics are kind of comparing apples to oranges as the March is a dual focal plane while the Kahles is a SFP, but I've never used a DFP reticle before so I am trying to determine if it is right for my use case. This AR is my do all/SHTF rifle with the possibility of being used in a 3 gun match, so I am trying to match the best optic for the role. I know both Kahles and March have excellent glass, and the Kahles was the top choice for awhile for 3 gun scopes. I do like the idea of the versatility of the DFP reticle and extra magnification of the March, but I'm not sure if that comes with too many compromises that detract from its usability. Any feedback on these two scope choices?

TV recommendations.

Looking to get a new tv and I'm growing tired of researching. Currently own an LG "A" variant OLED at 77" but that's staying at our house in Colorado.

I'm wanting to step up in size. 83" plus.

Clearly OLED gives the best picture quality but what I don't like is the reflection from the overhead LED lighting in the ceiling and the pendent lights over the island in the kitchen. The new house has an extremely similar set up so I expect to get a similar glare. I can live with it but was hoping to get some feedback from members who might have already gone through this process recently.

Trying to go as cheap as possible. Really don't want to go over $2500 and would be thrilled to keep it under $2000. And if you have found a really nice budget tv under $1000, I'd consider it. It would be great to hear from those who have been able to compare their budget tv to another high end tv and would say something like "I love my LG G series OLED but the LG mini LED is 85-90% the tv for 25% of the price".

I need to eventually get three to five tvs and budget is a concern, so a $800 good enough would likely win out over the $1600 OLED if it's "good enough". But this discussion is mostly for the main tv and the secondary bedroom tvs are not of huge concern at this point.

Quick question for the "watch guys" on the Hide here...

Hi Hide,

I recently got into automatic watches- I personally find the mechanics behind them to be absolutely fascinating. This should be a quick an easy question but for those that have more experience than I do with automatic watches- what has been your experience with their accuracy as compared to an atomic clock. Granted I know that a quartz movement is going to be be more accurate but it just lacks the 'nuances' I'll say that I feel is so interesting with this particular animal.

If it's of any help- I'm happy to share what brands/models I'm playing with here & my experiences... They're both Hamilton's... from what I can tell both using the same Swiss movements, one field watch with a titanium housing, the other a more... dressy watch with what I'm all but sure is a stainless steel housing. The more dressy watch has a date box (so maybe a minor difference in the Swiss movement that they use).

I've been playing around with the field watch almost exclusively trying to nail down the accuracy and my longest test has been a day or two over 3 weeks and if I'm doing my math correctly I'm running fast just about 8 seconds a day.

I know that different brands have different tolerances but I was just curious what other's experiences were using automatic watches. 8 seconds a day (one way or the other) might not sound like a tremendous amount but the compounded effect can be... rather interesting I'll say. Likely this is just the 'nature of the beast' with mechanical timepieces but is +/- 8 seconds a day what you're seeing and if you use mechanical/automatic watches in your daily life- do you have an established protocol of when/how often you re-sync your watches to keep you moving forward?

Thanks in advance.

Hunting for a repo M40 walnut stock (my Beaver156 repo stock got slightly damaged)

My local gunsmith building my repo M40 "shooter" accidentally dropped my repo M40 stock on his shop floor...and the toe broke-off at the screw. Opps. If this had been an original M40 stock I'd be teary-eyed about it, but it's just a Beaver156 (eBay) repo stock, so I'm not upset about it. Accidents happen. Could that area be repaired? Possibly, but the repair would never be as strong as it should be for that area, so I'm looking for other options at this point.
Here's the damaged toe...

M40_stock_damage_2.jpeg


The eBay seller (Beaver156) doesn't have any short action M40 stocks listed at this time...but I really want this build completed in March 2025 if at all possible - so I can break-in the new Bartlein barrel, and then use this rifle at the upcoming CMP Eastern Games Vintage Sniper Rifle match in late April. 2025.

So here's my question: How fast can I get banned for making a WTB post outside the PX?
(Ouch, my apologizes for inadvertently violating the forum rules, just figured this might be an okay inquiry given the 'vintage sniper rifle' sub-forum is really the only area I have been active for the past decade , and I figured only us 'old school/vintage guys' might have a wooden M40 stock... My observation is the PX section doesn't exactly contain old school/obsolete stuff like an vintage M40 stock - at least not that I recall over the past decade. A prospective "vintage PX" section with perhaps pre-2000 stuff would be useful, as I honestly don't know many of the modern 3/4 letter acronyms used in the current PX section. Just an observation from a middle-aged (aka Gen X) shooter... On a happy note another vintage sniper rifle collector/aka "old school guy" came to my rescue with a proper vintage wooden stock that he offered me, probably in part out of pity for my project dilemma. Again, my apologizes if I inadvertently bent the rules.)

Here's my M40 project parts that I dropped off last month. I was never crazy about this stock as the forend is too thick, but the price was nice and it was available, but I'd like to find another stock at this point. Maybe another one of these Beaver156 stocks, or preferably one of those discontinued Taylor Precision stocks, or maybe even an early Remington PSS wooden stock, etc.

Any assistance (or tips where I could find a replacement M40ish stock) is greatly appreciated, just in case someone has a spare, thanks.
