I am running a Trijicon thermal IR Hunter Mark3-60mm which is good on a semi-auto but, on my short action bolt action rifle has to be set too far forward in order to cycle the bolt.

After speaking with Trijicon, I was recommended the Trijicon AC12043 mount which will fit my thermal after requesting an eye shutter that was 1.5" longer than stock. Does anyone have this mount that can confirm how much eye relief is changed with it versus a normal mount? Any concerns with the weight of my thermal?

Or, does Larue or someone else make a cantilever mount that might be better for my application?

TIA,
Sid

Hi everyone, i have always used the flaslight method, confirming later using house walls at a distance to make sure the reticles of the scopes of my hunting rifles were mounted straight to gravity.

Now i moved to a new house and i can place a plumb line 20 yards away when mounting the scope. I read on forums that a 100 yards plumb line is better. Why is that? As long as i can focus the rope at 20 yards (my NF has parallax adjustments), shouldn't the process be as accurate as hanging the rope at 100 yards?

Am i missing something?

Thanks!

I'm sure there's a posting on this somewhere, but when I try to search the hide, I don't seem to get good results. So...the question I have for those of you that have laid hands on these guns or have a lot of experience in the area is...what are the pro's/con's for each?

Below are my initial thoughts:

On the DTA side, I love the idea of being able to change barrels, but I'm unsure of the complexity of the system overall. I have an SRS in 308 and 338, and I've had issues with the safety and with the 338 not ejecting property. Also, unsure of the quality of the plastic casing. Mind you...I still really like my SRS.

Serbu 50A - I've seen some good reviews and like the simplicity and comments about it being more accurate than barrett. Seems very solid overall, but obviously you're stuck with 50bmg.

Barrett - I like the fact that it's a quality battle proven rifle. Cost is way higher though, no changing calibers, and it sounds like accuracy is probably lower than the other two.

Thoughts?

A few months ago, I posted a link on the Vortex Impact 4000 thread that shared a new stock grip that Big Dog Steel had designed which blends the 4000 remote into the stock grip. Reminded me of the original HOTAS concept for fighters, thus my reference.

That Vortex 4000 grip can be seen here: https://bigdogsteel.com/product/bds-vertical-grip/

Now Big Dog Steel now has a similar design available for the RAPTAR remotes.

Ryan is really innovative with the project and I am simply sharing. Big Dog Steel is well established in the rifle community. They are solid.

Hei folks

i am looking for a new rifle for driven hunts and for red deer out to about 300meters. i am hearing som complaints about the trigger system. some people mean that the hammer fire trigger system will be slower than the striker fire trigger in normal bolt guns? is this realy noticable?

Hecouldgoalltheway · Sep 8, 2024

I just haven't had occasion to use it, so I'm going to move it on to someone else. Weatherby Mark V accumark in 340 Wby with a custom sponge paint job by me. It's an accurate rifle, shoots a tad better than moa with the factory loads, and I'm sure it would be capable of ridiculous accuracy with hand loads. I had my Smith thread it and blend that sweet brake on it, and honestly, the recoil isn't bad with it, in the range of a 30-06. I have 64 rounds, 3 full boxes plus 4 rounds of the hornady select ammo to go with it, 36 pcs of the select ammo brass, and the 2 ziplock bags of components. I didn't count them, but there are probably just over 50 pcs of brass or loaded ammo. My gunsmith gave me the ammo, so I'm sure they are safe, but I'm not suggesting you shoot them, since I don't remember what they are, so let's just call them components. The entire bundle shipped to your door for $1,300, or trade for something cool. I am looking for a 6mm arc bolt gun setup with a shorter barrel, 6mm cm bolt gun hunting rig with a shorter barrel, 6mm cf blanks 20" preferred, maybe a decent spotter, and probably a few other things, so let me know what you've got.

The Arken came up on sale for $299 with free shipping. They even threw in the precision pack for $35. This includes a magnification lever, rings, bikini covers, flip up covers, bubble level and a little swab. This and my research was enough for me to give it a chance. I got it yesterday and have not had a chance to take it to the range yet. These are my first impressions:

The good:
- Good glass for full sun
- Decent eye relief even at 24x
- Tons of vertical adjustment
- Solid construction
- Great nob adjustments
- Good Zero Stop
- Still a very serviceable scope at 24x
- Nice fast focus eye piece
- I find the Reticle to be acceptable, especially at high magnification.
- 25 yard parallax adjustment
The bad:
- Poor at low light, lens gets cloudy.
- Illuminated reticle is limited to the center crosshair and only visible in low light
- Heavy for hunting (fine for bench rest or long range
- Scope rings are solid, but lug is only for picatinny rails (lug is to wide for weaver style bases)

I put this side by side with my Japanese Bushnell Forge in 2-16x50 with HD glass. This was about a $900 scope which I got on closeout for $500. The glass and eye relief are better on the Arken. The turrets feel/sound about the same. The Arken has more room for adjustment.

I plan on putting this on a 22LR to begin playing around with PRS. I think it will be optimal for this and a good option for base class NRL22.

I've seen videos of people using these on 300 Win Mag and even 50 BMG and claim they hold up. The most I would put this on for my purposes would be a .308. For a 22LR, no worries. For all those saying this beats a $2K scope, spoiler, it doesn't. It does probably beat some $800 scopes and certainly many $500 scopes. At $300 I would be shocked if anyone can match it for quality, options and clarity. I've seen side by side comparisons to the EP5 and that does have better glass than the SH4. If that does on sale under $400, I'd pick one up. I know there are fan boys out there for Arken and serial haters that aren't happy unless they are talking about $2000 glass. I own Leupold, Bushnell, Burris and Arken. I'm happy with the purchase and especially the price and recommend it (except for hunting, its a beast of a scope).

Woke up this morning around 7am and knocked out one of my tasks from my list of repainting a wall in my dining room so I can get the thermostat back in action. Knocked that out by 0930 and started venturing into other projects to be productive.

By around 1100 I started going through old papers that needed to be shredded, knocked that out and ended up with a big old ziploc bag containing letters that were saved from when I was deployed. Unfortunately water got into that bag while we were living at the apartment so the letters were all but ruined. Rather upsetting but it is what it is.

Anywho- I began the task of going through the bag of letters and pulled an Enron type of deal and spent hours reading what I had and shredding them for about 7-8 hours. It was a bit of a surreal experience, not just the context in which the letters were written necessarily but (for me at least) who wrote the letters). Long since passed grandparents, great aunts/uncles, traditional aunts/uncles... and one of the odd things were due to the water damage, the letters essentially "resealed" themselves so I essentially spent hours reopening letters from when I lived a different life to read letters from deceased family members.

It kinda has my brain scrambled tonight now that it's over and I'm mentally in a different place tonight. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

This has been sitting in my safe for years unused so figured it’s time to sell or trade toward a new toy. Pretty sure this is a pre 2013 but not sure how to tell. I believe I bought this around 2010 time frame but could be wrong.

26” barrel with thunderbeast 30BA brake. Has the factory metric threads on the muzzle.

I’m not the best at keeping track of round count but the marks on my brass boxes indicate between 1400-1500 rounds I put through it and the previous owner had just bought it and ran a few boxes of factory ammo when I bought it.

Will include:
Original forend and the vision with arca rail
1 magazine
Trg bipod
Hard case with rough cut out of the foam (middle carry handle broke off but the end handle is good.
Bolt disassembly tool
Spuhr 34mm 7mil cant direct mount
329 fired lapua brass 127 of them are currently loaded and will either shoot or pull the bullets and powder.

I also have available 210 new unfired lapua brass as an add on.

I am not able to upload photos for some reason but please message me with a way to send you photos and I will be happy to send them.

Asking $2900 dropped to $2500 rifle without scope.
$180 New lapua brass with rifle purchase.
All prices are net I will cover shipping to your FFL in CONUS.

Still interested in trades toward 16-18” bolt guns, optics, thermal, night vision who knows what else, open to pretty much anything.

If the price is out of hand please message me as well.

Edited to change round count and brass, found 2 more boxes of ammo.

I bet she won't concede gracefully like a civilized, law abiding candidate. A criminal communist regime that openly stole an election, installing some pants shitting, babbling puppet as the head of their outlaw government, isn't going to pack their bags and leave the White House peacefully, turning the keys back over to Trump,

It isn't going to happen. They staged a coupe to get in power; they will stall and get the courts involved with their crooked judges, demand re-counts which turns up freshly printed ballots, all for Scamala. If for some reason that doesn't pan out, they'll create some major catastrophic event and declare martial law and 'fuck you MAGA people and your elections, we're not going anywhere peacefully. You knew that in 2020.'

What do you think?
