You nerds are all too elite to enjoy PR2 reticle and rather look through a uterus but okay

Just stumbled across this comment, why do you prefer the MSR2 over a Christmas tree Reticle? Ive been debating on an MSR2 or an SCR2 Reticle

The longer I shoot, the more I have moved away from trees... I prefer simple trees if I'm going to use one and the mpct2x is actually pretty good. I don't like zco's turrets tho.

Tbh I have centralized on msr2 as it does everything I want the best without any compromises and has a great fov as mentioned by others.

I'm not a fan of full trees either. My ideal reticle that's made is a Gen2XR. It would be fantastic to have a tremor type reticle but SIGNIFICANTLY slimmed down. It's just unnecessarily busy.

Oddly enough, my best shooting season came when I shot just a standard Gen2 mildot reticle.
 
I've been very impressed with the Zeiss reticles in the S3/5. I do think its really similar to the PR2 but that's not a bad thing, not as busy as the T3. The less cluttered trees seem to be my favorite. Before I've just used the OG MSR, kinda wish it was a 2.

Zeiss looks like they used a sharpie to draw it

Thought you was waiting till after the snow to take that thing out lol
Out for a few pics! May actually order the 260 barrel today. Been talking with Manzella. If I do I’ll ditch the 6.5 barrel I think.

It’s ice fishing season now. I do my reloading, gun maintenance etc in the winter. Other than that I’ll start load testing in the spring

I just sent out my spare 260 stick to get cut down for suppressed use. A bit redundant to have both that and 6.5 but it didn't make sense to have two long 6.5 rigs.
 
After a broken 3/8th breaker bar and a trip to home depot for a 1/2in breaker; I managed to pop off my old 300wm barrel that had over 1800 rounds. Bartlein 26in chambered by GAP. It still shot ok, groups a little over 1in. This new barrel is also a Bartlein by GAP that I got off a fellow hide member. Shoots pretty decent with old ammo from the last barrel!

Been a long journey to get every part from scratch. New action. 20" 300wsm and multiple 20" 6.5PRC bull barrels. Opening up bolt face. Vision Chassis and backend in AI DE. Fixed back end chassis to stock pieces and also a folding hinge. Rear action screws had to be sourced and machined to fit. Brass washers for action spacers. Mag catch and pins. Folding plunger, etc, etc. The effort into this has been large with support from many other folks. Grip for the aluminum skins are all that's left. Dominus K SR ready to go. Tangent Theta will top it off.

I just want to thank @MOUNTIC for donating me this setup. You're cooler than the other side of the pillow!

Just waiting for it in the mail.

Really, he’s an amazing person who will no doubt go straight to heaven when (and if) he so chooses. Rumor has it the Dali Lama looks up to him and attends his yearly retreats. Jesus phones him up for tips. Peace out.
 
Obligatory photo with the new CNVD-LR. The flip cover for the Impact 4000 is pretty slick from MK Machine.

18" 6.5CM Bartlein inside the ATX.

I'm pretty sure he's got a bit of stuff on his plate but I wonder if Chad @LRI would be a little tempted with some of these bolt jobs. He's turned out some impressive stuff, I'm sure a 1 or 2 piece AI bolt body would be like fixing breakfast for him.
I'm working on getting an AT-X bolt modeled right now. Will be at least another week or two before it is close to done. I don't want to take the bolt fully apart so I cant model the bolt head and body separately but It'll be as good of a model as you can get without doing that.

I don't have the ability to manufacture them but if someone has the capabilities I'd be willing to share the CAD file as long as something is done with it.

Until I die, this all cost $3,000… 🤣
"Listen, honey, I got a fantastic deal here. Its an investment, really. I only paid three grand but in reality it's worth a little more than that. If you and the kids decide to sell it after I'm gone, get it all appraised first. These are pretty rare and always going up in value."
