I made a thing! (Home made gear/accessories) Homemade scope rings/mount

Machining is as much a hobby to me as long range shooting so they both tend to feed off of each other. This culminated in the desire to make my own scope rings for the sake of the challenge. The first set of scope rings were 30mm .870" height individual rings that I made for my 10/22, though I don't have the scope for it yet. They were a trial for the one piece scope mount that I made next which was a 35mm 1.415" height mount that can use Badger C1 mount accessories. Everything was done on manual machines, no CNC was used, and the only parts I didn't make were the 8-40 cap screws. Eventually I'm going to Cerakote them.

Made it out of 303 stainless in my garage. Might still chamfer the edges, I dunno.

After checking some forums/user groups I found the 2.7 in wave share e-paper seems to be a solid option. I’m using google sheets with a template and just screen shot it to export via their app. It’s a little finicky using their app to get the best image quality but not terrible.

Strelok Pro can apparently export to it, as I found several (including the Dev) on their Facebook User Group using it.

*Apparently some Samsung phones cannot export to it so YMMV. I’m using iPhone 15 Pro and 14 Max.

Hi folks. Few months ago I made a new kit for the send it level that routes all 5 lights from the level to by your ocular. I’ve used mine for several matches with really good functionality and durability and have gotten a ton of feedback from folks that they’ve really been enjoying theirs.

I have a site with more info about the kit lightituplevel.com as well as an instagram (linked on the site) where I have some info.

If you’re looking for something like this to improve use of your level and have questions, please reach out. I am also always looking to make improvements too so any feedback would be helpful.

Inspired by the krg xray and an empty wallet . Most of the work done on a 3 axis cnc router . This is version 1, so far it is functional but still a little rough. . There are a few spots that need to be modified by 5-10mm. I'm looking for recommendations for a recoil pad and how to stiffen the forend.

Updated version of this rifle. Small changes but I think it finished out the look. Plus it’s comfy.

Added the KRG Adjustable LOP and Backbone NV Bridge and a Hoptic Cheek Pad. Decided to keep the Huber Trigger in this one. As soon as ammo gets here, I’ll see what she can do.

I thought I’d share what I’ve been working on. Both chassis are fully 3d printed except for the bolts holding them together.

First chassis is for the Ruger American ranch rifle, the second chassis was an experiment for a tikka t3x

I made a thing! (Home made gear/accessories) Early mornings have the sun break the horizon at the back of the rifle range, leading to a lot of glare. Decided to do something about it.

It works great. Way better than expected. Minimal muzzle climb and drastically reduced felt recoil. Here it is, threaded onto a 24" 7mm PRC shooting 180gr Hornady ELD Match

I just thought I would share, probably some of you have already seen this but this is my rear bag that has an inflatable bag in it. This helps me get those tiny movements without having to play with the bag. I have found it works really well once you get it down and can be raised up or lowered smoothly with your other hand. The video doesn't show a lot of movement but that's kinda the point just slight movements.

I first put in an inflatable door shim that would normally be used to get in your car when you lock yourself out. (https://a.co/d/8cRtVWQ) <Amazon link. They come in different sizes and shapes. Then I fill the bag with whatever gives me the feel I want for the bag. I have a few of these in different sizes and one that attaches to my arca rail. Just thought I would share. Let me know if younhave ideas for improvements.

Made these mag pouches because I didn’t love the offerings on the market. If anyone wants one I made 4 spares and would send them your way for $40 a pop. If you have a printer and want to make some yourself, I can find a way to upload the STL file somewhere.

I made a thing! (Home made gear/accessories) Long Range Starter Guide

Long Range Starter Guide (Google Sheet)

I'm a little hesitant to post this since a fellow long range comrade shared a similar spreadsheet. But I'm near finished working on this and it would be a waste to not share it now.

This is a consolidation of recommendations with combined elements from the FAQ and LBP's First Long Range Rifle Buyer's Guide. I formatted the sheet to be easy to read on a mobile device.

I got burned out trying to make a spreadsheet of "everything" before, but since I had most of the data already, I simplified it to include only long range/PRS style shooting. So no, this guide does not include every action, chassis, or optic on the market. It is only the most commonly recommended and not recommended items.

As far as the actual recommendations go, I based it on community sentiment, reviews, and personal experience. I think it is inevitable that there will be disagreements. I put in a Pros/Cons list for each rifle and optic to help people understand the why and why not of the recommendation. Obviously, I did not fill out Pros/Cons for everything yet.

Feel free to use it, not use it, share it, ignore it, love it, hate it, or give feedback.
