    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20x50-PM II Ultra Short, opinions, 1500m work

    S&B updated this scope for the "DT II+" turrets recently. If the elevation turrets look short like the 5-20US, they are the older variety. If they're taller, it's the new one. Difference is the MTC (More Tactile Clicks) are discernible at every 5th click, and there is a rotating device on the...

    First Custom Rifle Build | Tips Appreciated

    Keep in mind you can eliminate a lot of guesswork with the Manners/Zermatt/Proof combination. Manners can install the chassis for the TL3, and you can order the pre-fit barrel from Proof. Shortest CF barrel Proof offers in 6.5CM is 20", which is threaded 5/8x24. The Manners chassis would also...

    Tenebraex scope caps.

    Keep in mind the cap can be rotated such that the hinge is on the 9 or 3 o'clock position. This greatly reduces the clearance. Here's a 50mm obj on a tapered barrel with a 1" high ring. The cap will not clear when the hinge is in the 12 o'clock position, but this isn't a problem when rotated...

    Sanity Check on build/soliciting feed back on a couple of discreet points

    For reference, here's the rifle next to an XM-3. Only difference from the .mil version is the McMillan A5 stock (pictured) vs. the A1-3. Difference in overall length is 2.5". The picture makes the XM-3 appear much longer. The XM-3 is a heavy bitch. Incidentally, its weight while being used...

    I fully support more titty pics. Shooter65 is doing God's work. His efforts have directly contributed to fully desensitizing my wife from titty pics on my laptop. Doesn't even phase her anymore, and she even compliments some of them. Carry on.

    Sanity Check on build/soliciting feed back on a couple of discreet points

    Here's what I put together, it's pretty close to what you're proposing. Manners MCS-TA Zermatt TL3 SA Proof 20" CF in 6.5CM Triggertech 2-stage, flat shoe Scope will be a S&B 3-20x50US. Rifle as pictured is right at 7lbs. I own a 18.5" barreled 308, and would recommend sticking with the...

    Self Assembly vs Smith

    I purchased a TL3, Manners, and Proof barrel and had the same dilemma. In the end, I sent it to Josh at Altus and he put it all together for a very small fee. After I added up what it would cost for a vise, torque wrench, and action wrench, it just made more sense to send it off. They will...

    Groups opening up with SOCOM 7.62 RC2

    I had this same issue with a Surefire 762 suppressor purchased in 2008 (forget the model number). Groups would open up once the barrel got hot. I could shoot <1moa for the first 6 shots, and then it would repeatably go low-left up to 6" @ 100yds. I'm no expert shot, but I can maintain a damn <6"...

    Serious question: Is there a link or other feature where members can make a one-time donation? I have no interest in purchasing a recurring membership, but would be willing to make a donation from time to time. If there's a feature for this kind of thing, please point me to it.

    Suppressors Installing MB762SSAL/RE on Mk20, questions about SV and SS differences, etc.?

    I recently went through this deliberation, and in the end decided to send a barrel to Mile High. They turned a new shoulder on an AI barrel to allow it to mate without spacers.

    Maggie’s 6.6 duramax... good or bad?

    CP4 victim here. Not a fun experience. Either a lift pump or fuel additive will help with the CP4 grenading, as the issue apparently stems from the US conversion to ULS diesel and lowering the lubricity content. Use an additive that increases fuel lubricity by replacing what was lost in the...

    I may be the grumpy fucker here, but this is the one place on the internet that isn't saturated with politics. While I fully realize a significant number of current events are going to bleed over into this thread, do we have to endure cut/pastes of political cartoons? Feel free to shout my arse...

    1,000 Yard Upstate South Carolina Range-WOW!

    I emailed them several months ago asking for info, and they eventually responded saying they were not open to the public. Interesting. I'm not sure who exactly they're training given their proximity to Ft. Jackson. I took a pistol course there c. 2016 and it was a well maintained range. If...
