Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

Custom built 22x47

Just took delivery of a TVP 22x47. It is a wildcat cartridge and the rifle was built by Tom Sarver at Thunder Valley Precision. The brass starts life as 6.5x47 Lapua before I get it resized to 22x47. Lots of worked involved especially turning the necks. But at 100 yds it puts three shots through the same hole. It shoots a 95gr SMK .224 bullet at 3200fps at the muzzle.

It has a Surgeon action, Huber Trigger, Kreiger 27 inch barrel with a 6.25 right twist, PSE aluminum stock, Atlas bipod and a Nightforce ATACR 7-35 x 56 F1 Mil-C scope. The scope is mil/mil FFP. The muzzle brake was made by Tom Sarver.

The dope for 1,000 yards is 5.9 mils and 1 mile dope is 16.4 mils.
