Just got it. Sea Bass X3.BZ01.1. I’m shocked at how light weight this thing is. And even with the black webbing strap, it’s clean as hell. I like I so much I just ordered the white Pacific Diver. Should be in later this week.

The watch was my birthday present from my wife and son this year, and it came with that tiny, leather band that I could barely get on even in the last hole.

This band is a cheap one from Amazon, but I’ve got to admit, the white on white is pretty clean. I was going to upgrade it with a better one later, but I’m digging it.

Not mine originally, but too good not to share with the rest of the class.

Had such a blast a couple weeks ago night hunting hogs, I got the tinkering itch again. Yeah I know, but idle hands and all that.

Bottom is my 8.6BLK used last time, albeit with a DNT Hydra 225 thermal. The top is my .300BLK build I keep as my nightstand rifle, but I pulled off the G45 and SureFire Scout for a DNT C200 (which I’ll use as a NV magnifier), and a Streamlight ProTac that does white light and IR.

The .300BLK also has a fun trigger in it, because ‘Murica, but doubt I’ll flip it to “fun mode” unless we stumble upon 100 of them or something. Thankfully feral hogs are such a problem here in Texas, there’s zero restrictions on hunting them.

Ethan posted this picture, but couldn’t resist with Nic making that face.

So long story short, we built a new garage a little while ago, mostly for my man toys; cars, guns, old stuff from when I cleaned out my parents’ house after my dad died, etc.

Well I set up a radio, but that gets old because it’s on old dial turning one with a long antenna, so I’ve got one station. It dawned on me that I still have my parents’ TV, and I found my NES, SNES, and N64 and all my games in my parents’ house.

And viola:

Apparently they’re making it a thing now, like “12.5” on 12/5” or whatever. So here’s mine that I used on some hogs last night.

Not my picture originally, but couldn’t resist.

I’ve been having so much fun with this new (to me) caliber, I finally decided to do a proper build for it and not just a spare parts one.

The upper is still the same, so Aero, 18” Odin barrel, Cherry Bomb with Trash Panda. But swapped it to a 15” BCM handguard, True North hand stop, CMC BCG, and a BT10 Atlas bipod. Even threw in some of those Magpul MLOK pop in rail covers to give it some texture.

But I picked up a new BCM lower for it. Kept the RA-535 trigger (I won’t lie, I’m a fan of them), Super 42 and H2. Put a Luth AR precision stock on it (my first one, digging it so far), and a Magpul grip.

I have thought about upgrading the Vortex Venom 5-25 to something bigger, but I think I’m liking it as is. If I do anything to it, maybe an RMR on a 45° or something, but I don’t really think I’ll need it for anything. This thing is light enough where I could run and gun at a PRS match with it if I wanted, and don’t want to ruin that.

…so I did the irresponsible thing and just got both. Carrying the Tekto today, so I’ll probably carry the Kansept tomorrow.

Just got my birthday present from my wife. I already have the green faced Weekender, but I won’t lie, I’m digging the white faced one.

Side note, and I apologize for the rant, Citizen’s leather bands absolutely suck. Yes I know it’s leather, but they’re overly stiff and extremely small. Granted I’m 6’10” and 275lbs, but I have to crank on it to get it on the last hole. Their canvas bands are the same way.

Ok, it’s official, I’m loving this cartridge more and more. What 2011s did for 9MM to make them cheat codes, 6ARC has done for PRS.

Since I last posted over the weekend, I swapped the handguard with a 15” BCM, changed the spring to a Super 42 with H2 weight, and replaced the Harris bipod with a Magpul I had on the shelf. I’ll probably still swap it out for an Atlas, but I’d have to take it off another gun.

I took off the rubber grip thing on the magwell like you guys suggested, and also removed the vertical grip. I don’t like where that hand stop is, so when I pull the Magpul bipod, I’ll probably pull that too.

But ran another 50 rounds through it today, and it literally prints the same hole at 100. It seems to like the Hornady Match 108 ELDMs the best, but is there another ammo anyone suggests?
