SOLD WTS Zeiss LRP S5 3-18x50

Hey all, I have a Zeiss LRP S5 3.6-18x50 up for sale. I have been using this optic for a full two seasons and wanna switch it up. Scope comes with the original box and manual and is the mil (zf-mri) reticle. Scope also has the objective tenebraex cap and I lost the ocular side, I have a replacement on order for the buyer. As far as the scope goes, it just works, I've had zero issues with the functionality, glass is perfect. It has typical ring marks and a small ding on the objective bell and some marks on the elevation turret. I'd be happy to post extra photos if anyone would like.

Asking $2K shipped, PP/Zelle, no trades at this time.

Thank you!

Bergara sucks ass, buyer beware.

These rifles are pure trash. Against my better judgement I bought a new B14 Sierra Wilderness in 7PRC after already having been burned 2 times by rifles of theirs that shot like crap out of the box (including a premier).

The first trip to the range right out of the box it was shooting roughly 4-6” groups with all three types of Hornady factory ammo. I started with a barrel that I had cleaned at home prior to the range trip and did a break in since factory barrels are known to be rough. Even during the break in and cleaning the barrel frequently the groups were a whole hell of a lot larger than you’d ever expect to see.

Everything was checked for torque, I pulled that optic off of the rifle and put it on my PH2 6.5CM and confirmed there wasn’t an issue with it and put the optic from my PH2 on the Bergara with the same result. Also tried different torque settings on the action screws other than their 55inlbs spec going to 65 on both and also lightening the rear. I also pulled the barreled action out of the chassis where I saw a lot of heavy overspray from their panting process and proceeded to sand the thick webbing spots down at the range. Nothing I did changed the result.

After 60 rounds the rifle was still shooting like absolute dog shit and copper fouling like crazy. I called Bergara on the way home from the range and got an RMA to send it in.

At home I inspected the rifle where I noticed the absolute terrible bolt lug contact and thought that might be causing an issue as well so I noted that when I sent it in.

Bergara inspected the rifle, recrowned it and said it shot a .9” and .6” group with Terminal Ascent 170gr and sent it back out. They didn’t address the bolt lug contact issue or the issue with the hinge pin on the floorplate of the bottom metal falling out of one side of the hinge due to the pin either being too short or the relief being too wide and their “gunsmith” said was in spec.

I was hopeful it would shoot as I do generally like the rifle and it has improved but it still shoots like complete ass. I even bedded the stock since it was showing signs of a bedding issue and Bergara fucked up the paint in the inlet while they had it which uncovered how uneven and thick the paint was in places. The bedding seemed to have made a difference because the erratic flyers are gone and it’s just shooting large triangle type 3 shot groups now… for the most part.

I got frustrated at the range after group after group being 1.5-2MOA with every ammo type include the Terminal Ascent they recommended for another 50-60 rounds or so. I had cleaned the copper mine yet again with bore tech eliminator which is quite the process due to how badly it fouls and decided I was just going to put some rounds through it to try to smooth it out in 10 round strings. So I shot the first two 3 shot groups back to back and they were… large. Loaded up another 3 and it stacked them sub .5moa… no shit. So I shot a 4th and it put it right in there. At this point I’m thinking this thing is starting to shoot and get excited. I shot another 3 shot group with the barrel super hot with was also very good.

So I let it cool completely and shot another 3 shot group… back to dog shit. WTF? I cleaned it again and shot two more 3 shot groups with the same result. I was done wasting ammo so I put it away. I was thinking the barrel might have a stress relieving issue based on this and texted another hide member what had happened and he said the same thing.

I also brought my Seekins Element 7mm PRC to the range and shot them side by side and all of the ammo shot exceptional in the Seekins, so I know it’s not an issue with the ammo or an issue with recoil. Despite the Seekins being nearly 3lbs lighter as configured it still didn’t manage a group larger than 3/4moa, even the 8 shot group I fired in 1.5min trying to mimic barrel heat over a NRLH stage.

So here we are yet again, I called Bergara again and they said they’ll issue another RMA and look at it again but won’t test fire it. I feel like that’s a waste of my time when I’ve already gone down that road with negative results so I have zero faith in a positive outcome from that nor do I wish to waste any more time or ammo verifying the rifle when it comes back. I proposed that they either 1. Accept the rifle back and issue a full refund of my purchase price or 2. Agree to rebarrel the rifle so that I can send it down the road with some level of confidence that whoever bought it might get a decent rifle. They denied both.

I’ve followed up with the same documentation of my results in an email as well as my proposal. I doubt anything will come of it so my next step will be to send it to a gunsmith next week for a third party evaluation and I’ll then just take legal action and seek the cost of the rifle, inspection fees, as well as the ammo I’ve wasted on this piece of crap.

So my advice, buy a rifle from just about any other rifle manufacturer.

I’ll update this later tonight or tomorrow with some pictures as well as update it with third party findings or any resolution from Bergara.

Thanks very much

SR25 Upper Compatibility

A few months ago I decided to jump into large frame ARs and at the time I thought there was basically two camps: the Armalite AR10 and the DPMS pattern. DPMS being far more popular (Areo, JP, countless others) and Armalite being the less common and proprietary option (there are several other proprietary options and some will get an honorable mention).

I initially decided on a GGP set (DPMS) which was very well made but after some struggles with the Ambi system, (it was resolved) I decided I wanted something different and I sold the set. It was at this point I realized there was a third camp, typically associated with the highest end of gas gun manufactures: Knight's Armament and the SR25. I wanted one, but there very limited configurations, 16" and 20" 308s and 22" 6.5 Creedmoor are the only options. And that is IF you can even get one, Knight's guns are not readily available at retail, and I have no intention of paying Gunbroker/ Gray market extortion prices.

But is Knight's design as exclusive as it seems? Not really as it turns out. There is design elements from both Armalite and DPMS. Also, other manufactures have followed the Knight's SR-25 pattern and have some compatibility. There are some resources that discuss difference between AR10 and DPMS, but almost all of them completely ignore the SR-25 as a standard. If you are a Knight's purist, I get it... this is meant to be a resource for the SR25 pattern. Also this is America and people will always customize/build whatever they want. This post is not for you... please move along....

The SR-25 Pattern is basically Armalite "slant cut" receivers, DPMS barrel extension, barrel nut, bolt, magazine and DPMS High Handguard (3/16 Tang)

Capture.PNG
Capture3.PNG
Capture1.PNG


So after doing some quick compatibility research, I ended up choosing an LMT lower receiver as my starting point. I found a blem MARS-H in stock at Big Texas Ordinance. And this is where the issue started :giggle:. Upper receivers with a Armalite "slant cut" and DPMS High compatibility were not readily available for this pattern. I decided to set out to find a an upper receiver that I could use with my LMT lower, DPMS High handguard of choice and DPMS internals (barrel, bolt, carrier ect.) and I preferred to have no forward assist.

I have been able to test fit Stag, Seekins, Mega, LMT and Knight's and a few other brands with varying success and ultimately found pretty much what I was looking for. A long the way I created a spread sheet with the information I gathered to help others with similar objectives. If you can add to this I would love your input, feel free to comment and I will add as information as needed. There are no resources for SR-25 compatible manufactures as far as I know, but we can start here.

The link to my spreadsheet is here. (The spreadsheet includes Centurion Arms, LaRue, V Seven, Type A, Noveski, Troy, Genesis CNC, ADM and all the other brands I could find with Armalite "slant cut" receiver.

Below is a list of the highlights from the spreadsheet.

Knight's Compatibility
Knight's SR-25:
This is what I have been looking to emulate.. not necessary clone... but for obvious reasons this is the top of the list. Drawbacks here are lack of availability, limited configuration, elitism and cost.

LMT MARS-H: Probably better than Knight's if I am honest... the best Ambi in the business and that monolithic design has a lot going for it. Only drawback is the proprietary barrel system. There is just one guy (I am aware of) who makes custom barrels for these, that's not great for longevity. On the other hand, Everyone who makes barrels is making DPMS compatible barrel... so LMT is a hard sell for me.

Stag Arms STAG-10: This was the first one I tried and it does function. One of the best solutions available… The fit is ok on the LMT lower, the lower over hangs the upper in a the rear and the Forward assist is kind of a bummer. Unrelated comment, as with most DPMS High pattern uppers, Knight's handguard's require hand fitting unless you want to live with a huge gap between the rail and the upper. A small mount of material must be removed from URX 3.1 and for URX 4s the receiver its self must be faced. Its a small amount of fitting but not for the uninitiated. (PM me if you want more details on how to fit knight's rails to DPMS uppers)
IMG_1955.JPEG


SMF Tactical TAC-10 : You have likely never heard of these guys. Its a small shop, very nice and helpful people I spoke with on the phone several times. This is not their main business and I had to beg them to make me an upper. It took a few weeks but I got one and I am sure they will make more. This was the best I have tried. It will take some hand fitting to make it perfect, but on the plus side, Knight's handguards fit without any fitting or trimming (normally required). There is some overhang but this could be and fit with files if you know what you are doing (I was a small parts fabricator for a few years). I'll post updates here as this progresses, waiting on a barrel from Craddock precision and I would like to find an LMT or Knight's BCG. (Considering a Seekins BCG if I come across one)
IMG_2543.JPEG
IMG_2544.JPEG
IMG_2545.JPEG
IMG_2546.JPEG


Seekins SP10: Probably the best option. semi monolithic is great. Readily available and out standing quality. I am not crazy about the triangle shaped handguard and the lack of options here. I have fit one of these on to my LMT lower and its a perfect fit. These are only available as a builder set or a complete gun. but no reason not to just do this if you are cool with the handguard.

95F0F066-97F4-4118-AA3C-5D5257398727.jpg
IMG_1963.JPEG
Capture4.PNG


Mega Arms MATEN: Really nice quality. Availability is good. Not a great option to mix with other brans but will work with some. This is great if you are looking for a game gun. Super heavy. The upper will function with Knight's lowers but fit is not great interferes with MARS-H ambi controls.

IMG_2320.JPEG
IMG_2318 (2).JPEG



Wilson Combat: These do NOT fit and are truly a proprietary design. I did order an upper to try. The geometry is totally different and there is no chance this can work. I was so disappointed I forgot to take pictures before I returned it. They do have a disclaimer on the website but, I tried it anyway. They did give me a refund without and issues, but it took close to month.

Armalite AR-10A: The lowers are compatible with Knight's uppers, take SR25 magazines (AR-10B do not use sr25 mags). But that is where compatibility stops. The uppers have a forward assist (not really into that), and a different thread pattern for the barrel nut, different barrel extension, bolt etc, etc,
Capture2.PNG


ADM UIC-10: I have seen pictures of these with and without forward assist. They wont breakup a builders set unfortunately. If some one has tried this let me know.

Edit: ADM UIC-10 do fit. (At least the geometry is the same) I found this pic randomly… still no information on the upper or if it has a forward assist)
IMG_6181.jpeg



In the longer term I have a friend with a CNC shop who is making AR-15 already and looking to get into AR10s. If there is interest in this pattern, ether for Knight's clones or just cause you think its cooler than other options let me know. I am trying to build a case that this is a space in the market where he can differentiate and find some demand.



EDIT: More options provided by SH members


JP Enterprises PSC-12 (Information an pictures courtesy of @papershredder ) My take on it so far on an LMT lower; Pins are very tight, no play or slop between the receivers at all. There is a little gap at the back angled profile between upper and lower receivers. They use a DPMS threaded barrel nut and come with any of the JP DPMS bolt carrier groups (buyers choice).


Edit: the JP option ended up not working out. Details on page 2 of this thread.

CBS’s “Race & Culture” unit

Apparently CBS stories must be approved by the “Race & Culture” unit.


I swear the west is falling further & further into the pit of asshatery every day.

Photonis housings and 4G+ tubes.

Hello,

I live in France and am in the market for a first pair of night vision binoculars.
I know we have an IIT tube manufacturer in Brives la Gaillarde called Photonis they produce gen 2+ tubes.
I want to buy my first pair of night vision binoculars with 4G in the US or 4G+ tubes in Europe.
Ideally, I want to use them in a deep forest environment for wildlife observation and counting.
Must I go for a high gain, low EBI, and high-resolution tube?
I've seen their PD-PRO-16B Binocular NVG sold in the US and they interest me.
Do they sell it in Europe?
If I want a good pair of matched tubes with at least 2800 FoM what prices can I expect?
I can spend around 20K€ for a complete unit with manual gain paired with a cheap COTI like a Jerry CE5.

Warm regards and greetings from France.
