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.

18" 6.5 PRC and 135 A tips

Looking for some general information on reloading for a short (18") 6.5 prc with 135 a Tips (156 berger load data also would be helpful). Mostly looking for powder recommendations as most data is for 24" Barrels and longer. I have quite a bit of varget, but see H1000, retumbo and N565 recommended a lot. Just not sure if these are still good routes to go for a short barrel. If anyone has any recommendations and can post starting loads and what speeds they are seeing from these shorter barrels it would be appreciated

Firearms Christensen Arms Carbon Fiber 6.5 Creedmoor.

Christensen Arms Ridgeline model 14, 6.5 Creedmoor with 24" Carbon Fiber barrel. These come with nice lite weight stock and a Trigger Tech Trigger. This gun is very accurate! Will shoot .5-.6moa with factory 140 grain Hornady Match Ammo and will get better as more rounds are sent through the barrel. I only have 35-40 rounds down the barrel and have not had one issue. Only selling due to recently getting a custom built 6.5 Creedmoor so I no longer need this one.
$1600 buys it shipped from my FFL to yours!!
