Picked up a few boom sticks and keeping my eye out for an LMT Mars-H. Got bit by long range game last year and want to build something reliably capable of 1200 yds.

The .338 is an intriguing caliber, but I want this build on an AR10 platform so .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor are what I am planning on.

Any particular reason why you’re set on AR-10? Bolt guns a lot more accurate than semi-auto.

Been shooting my BiL’s bolt gun out to 1500yds (max where we shoot) and his semi-auto out to 1200 (that extra 300 yds is f’ing hard).

I enjoyed the Semi-Auto more, open to bolts in the future.

ColbyLang · February 24

LMT a good choice for AR platform. I’d look for MWS. AR-10, quick barrel change capable. Can have 308 and 6.5 in a matter of minutes. I’ve got one of their AR-15’s in LM8

5.56 with a surefire can. Eotech with a magnifier for boy wonder when his soccer schedule allows for shooting/hunting

Since Mrs.C retired she thinks we need a larger camper. This Jayco pinnacle has her eye

She's been good to me, time to return the favor

alaskanassasin · February 25

@MasterC that looks like a giant camper!

He can host an Eggfest. 😂

It's 44'10". We have a lot on the water and she wants a larger trailer. I think it's kinda like keep with Jones's syndrome 😅 bless her heart.
Have not signed the dotted line yet

bubbajack · February 25

My 6.5 Creed does the thousand pretty easy. Max distance that I have to shoot! My buds are into the 6GT. Both are low recoil and affordable to shoot, especially if you reload. Good luck!

If by "we have a lot on the water" you mean boats at various marinas, and that's where you're driving, I'll give you a pass. If I'm stuck behind you driving up a mtn pass at 15 mph, I shall continue to curse you and your progeny with great vigor.

lousubcap · February 25

@MasterC - great camper right there. Reads like a buy it and park it to replace your existing rig. Regardless, enjoy. That's a serious sized party rig right there.

MasterC · February 25

Botch you won't have to curse we don't tow.

Cap we have a seasonal lake lot in Michigan that we're planning to use full-time vs weekending

alaskanassasin · February 25

Are you bringing a Egg @MasterC?

Dang you @Canugghead - I know the fault lies with me, but am assigning some blame your way as you tempted me over the line. Have successfully avoided Sous Vide for years as I know it'll be a rabbit hole for me. The $20. price just got me to jump in the hole.
Same story here; for a Jackson, had to try it. Anova is one of the more “budget” brands, but I loved their rice cooker (a “Best Buy” back in the day) and bought the same thing after the first one died (over a decade of use, 2~3 times/week).
Ironically just today ATK posted a video of reverse-seared beef short ribs; the sauce sounds delicious but that video got more negative feedback than I’ve seen on that channel, everyone claimed that cooking short ribs to only 140º would result in tough chewing. So I printed out that recipe and it will be the first one I try with my new Sous vidé stick, take the short ribs to 170º or so then sear in a CI pan or caveman on the Egg.

@Botch

short ribs cooked to 135f at 450/500 degrees direct. not tough and chewy. these were from a good butcher shop though. no sousvide was used. i dont think this would work from my regular supermarket though

the salt looks excessive but mostly drips off with the direct cook and then again with the lime juice at serving. dont go heavy with salt if you try it in a sous vide

Couldn't close the deal. We're still on the hunt.alaskanassasin said:

I take an egg up every summer

Exactly what I thought. Either that, or he finally decided to stop trolling us with the blurry pics!

He stole those from Steve Raichlen.

that was from my old indestructible 3g flip phone. you have to go 5g they said, we will replace your phone with an upgrade they said......went as good as going from the old copper land line that worked during a power outage to the new fiber optics that lasts on a battery for 30 minutes when the lights go out.

DoubleEgger · February 26

Well now we know that the blurry pics were due to gin and tonics, not old equipment.

Canugghead · February 26

@DoubleEgger beat me to it.
This was in my draft:
@fishlessman, which phone did you use for this?

Travel pants. Have a 19 hour flight to take next week. Joy of joys.

lousubcap · February 27

@JohnInCarolina - Gotta be either South Africa or Oceania. A 19 hour flight is beyond pushing the limits of commercial aircraft. Gotta be a stop or two somewhere...
