    9.5yr thread resurrection. That has to be approaching a record of some kind.

    The Goldilocks Hunting Rifle

    I ruminated on this issue for a few months, and ultimately purchased a Seekins Element in 300WM. It's 6.5lbs naked, and about 10.5 kitted out the way I want it. A lighter scope would easily shave off 1.25lbs if desired. It's offered in a range of calibers, and the 22" barrel leaves room for a...

    Custom Hunting Build. Whose the go to guy?

    I'd give Jay Jarrett a call down in Jackson, SC. They build their own barrels, actions, and stocks in house; and guarantee accuracy based on test fired groups. Prices are high relative to some of the names listed above, but price/value is for the OP to decide. There are also a number of pet...

    Nashville - Recommendations

    After much deliberation, Mrs. Lazlo and I are going to celebrate our 15th anniversary in Nashville in Jun of this year. We initially considered New Orleans, which I know well, but the politics and general ambiance turned us off. Our plan is to stay somewhere downtown, and then play it by ear...

    What to do in New Orleans? (Besides don’t go)

    Likely my favorite place for dinner. There will be a wait, but it’s worth it. Also this is in the middle of a residential district (good for walking afterward), about 10mins from Canal St. http://www.katiesinmidcity.com/ This is a small place that specializes in grilled oysters. It has been...

    Knives Strider MK-1

    For sale is a Strider MK-1. Originally purchased by me in 2005 for a deployment, and it sat in the bottom of the sea-bag. Aside from being very well traveled, this knife has seen little use. It's spent too long in the safe and needs a new home. Knife shown as pictured. Some oxidation on the...

    USMC XM-3 clone

    Here's my IBA "almost XM-3" I had built into a McM A5. Ignore the top rifle. I think it was spec'd out for XM-3 components with the exception of the stock and NV mount.

    USMC XM-3 clone

    Here's a guy selling a parts kit. It passes my sniff test: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/sold-darpa-xm-3-build-kit.7147748/ Norm went completely dark a few years ago and shut his IBA website down, and didn't even bother notifying any owners. That said, most competent smiths can...

    I've come across a bit of a small windfall an so I'm looking for a new custom build

    As a starting point, and knowing very little about your desired use, I'd start here. Knowing more about how you intend to use the rifle will help others make recommendations. Production: AI Semi-custom: Altus Shooting Solutions. They can piece together a parts build with compatible...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    My Chandler purchased from IBA in 2009. I called Norm after handing a couple of the XM-3's in Al Asad (possibly the ones pictured above), and we agreed on a build. It's an XM-3 with the exception of the stock and NV adaptor. Decided on the McM A5, but everything else is the same spec.
