The strangest thing this video is getting allot of views and I’m not sure why. There is nothing remarkable about it

A thousand people? Thats probably frmo posting it in this thread alone.

Went to Texas for the day. Shot 2k 223 wolf through a mk18 with a surefire can and aimpoint pro. Killed 300+ hogs, 12 coyotes between the 4 of us. I got at least 50 and 4 coyotes.



The can wouldn't come off, 1 day in wd40, 1 day in CLP, a 30" pipe wrench and a vise didn't do it. My buddy had to shoot it off, 4th round did it.

Your buddy needs to get better at doing donuts.

I got to shoot Conundrum's new wheel gun. Holy butter nuts!

[crashidy]

OK that all makes sense, thanks guys. I think I'm going to splurge a teeny bit more than the vortex, and maybe go with something like the Leupold vx3 3.5x10x40. I dont know why, but aesthetically it just looks better. Now I guess I just need to figure out which rings will work for this combo.

Amazing scope I have one.clear, sturdy, accurate.
Highly recommended

You shouldn't need any clp or wd40 to shoot the can off. Surefires are designed for shoot off removal. Doesn't hurt them one bit.

Thanks for all the opinions on off site storage for my fathers guns. I called 2 ranges and 4 shops in the area and no one offers this service. One shop recommended I simply pawn them and pay the monthly float and if he ever needs them he can pay to get them out of hock. Not a terrible idea but I suspect that after his initial outrage, my father will likely be willing to sell his firearms.

One of my golf partners was a door gunner in Nam. Told me it took a couple of decades to get his shit back together.

[exsparky]

I wouldn't pawn them.

Could you get a safe, throw a blanket over it and rent a spot in somebodies garage or office or whatever?


My driver was a door gunner in Afghanistan. He freaks out every couple days, we got him a service dog and that helped. Women in burqa's send him off, they called them penguins because they looked like penguins when they walk with artillery shells on them under the burqa's. He doesn't get to see the video's.

I suggest you post the inventory and let us experts "value" them.

I need some serious advice.

My sister and I have finally convinced my 87 year old dad to move into an elder community in FLA. He just went berserk when he found out he can’t have his guns there. He is willing to store them offsite but I called some gun shops and ranges but no one has that service locally.

Does anyone have any other thoughts on who may provide this service? I’m paranoid the whole deal is going to fall through unless we figure this out.

Have you thought about getting your gun license and transferring them? He Might be more open to you having them.

I don’t know anything about hunting rifles, but I did just get a tikka t3x lite in 308. Got any scope recs for me? Looking for something mid range price wise, nothing crazy just want it to work and be durable. Oh and I guess a nice set of scope rings too

I dunno, I was thinking of spending somewhere in the $400-700 range. Probably won't shoot much beyond 300yds or so but it'd be nice to be able to if I want. Set it and forget it sounds nice but I guess it's nice to have options...

Hey, I'm selling a scope I was going to put on a rifle. Might not fit what you're looking for and might stretch your budget but would be a cool setup on your Tikka. I've got a Zeiss Conquest V4 6x24x50, Vortex Pro Series 30 mm rings, and a Mountain Tactical 0 moa rail for Tikka T3s. None have been used yet other than setting up.

If it moves its a hog, if it stands still, its a well disciplined hog.

Lmao!!!!

Seconded - Are we talking 1-2, or 50? Long Guns or Handguns etc?

Buy Gun safe - put in a small Storage Unit? Although I dont know how comfortable I would be doing this....

I looked into a small storage unit but it's quite pricey.

[pepperdawg]

At 87 - will he (in new FL digs) realistically still use? If so - God bless him. I take it you are not close to his new loc?

If couloirman isn’t interested I just might be your huckleberry. That would fit nicely on top of my new 300 WM

Yeah buddy. It would be similar to my 300. Couliorman, let me know.

Awesome let me know. You are Boise right? I will be there in May visiting our office there so I could even save you some shipping hassle.

Correct. And I’d buy you a beer.

DON'T DO THAT.

They get robbed constantly.

That's the point we got to. His new location is going to be much safer (living community) and he won't be driving as much as he used to (realistically 10-15 years ago, not now anyway).

[teleee]

Now you are talking, I happen to like beer!

Got word my x-bolt will be shipping 4/25. Ordered a 20moa pic rail with bubble installed, now, debating what rings to get. I can't really make heads or tails of the options out there, I know I want them to be fairly light, and no stress on alignment. 30mm tube 3-15x42mm Razor LHT going on there. What I'd really like is someone to just say "buy these" with a link and I'd be on my way. Lots of opinions, etc. Looking at mid height as my buddy may have a set of lows he will sell me with the scope, that way I can maximize fit.

[Conundrum]

The last three sets I've used on a rail were Zeiss Precision (bubble integrated and you probably don't need two levels), Vortex Pro and Vortex Precision Matched. All mounted up well. I think Seekins makes or made the high end Vortex rings. When looking at them, only difference seems to be the logo and the Seekins are a lot less. If I were putting a rifle together today, I'd probably order up some Seekins 30mm and be happy.

[bio-smear]

I like the Burris Xtreme or XTR tactical as I'm budget conscious. Have several pairs and they're great.
