is casper wyoming a good spot to move to for work?

Whats the story with the casper area? Is there any good elk hunting around there? How is the crime, cost of living? is it predominately republican or democrat? I have lived in northern MN and the Fargo area so I know what bad winters are like. I would like to eventually retire in wyoming. I have traveled the northern half of the state, but never down by casper or cheyene. I would like to get some acreage to shoot on. I grew up on a farm and have lived in the country on acreage most of my life. What can you guys tell me that I should know?

All new gear setups

Afternoon Folks,

Long story short, we had our house robbed ( I suspect a contractor, but whatever) All long guns stolen (all pretty old 7yrs. +/-) Insurance covered it all.

So, I'm on the hunt for new gear and Its been a while since I've done any shopping or any read any reviews.

Thought this would be the place to go. If we're going to get 2-3 new rifles, covering all the basic needs, what setups would you get?

I don't have a specific purpose, just your basic zombie apocalypse, burglar, occasional hunting and steel. Have in the area of about
2500-3K per not counting glass.

Appreciate it.

Wisconsin Teacher Who Made Out with Fifth-Grader Faces Life in Prison


Wisconsin elementary school teacher Madison Bergmann, 24, was arrested Wednesday for alleg






The disgraced Wisconsin elementary school teacher arrested in May for allegedly “making out” with a fifth-grader has been hit with more charges and faces a life sentence in prison if convicted.
Madison Bergmann, 24, who taught at Hudson’s River Crest Elementary School until being charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child, is now facing nine additional felonies, the New York Post reported.
The allegations originally came out when the parents of an 11-year-old boy discovered text messages between him and Bergmann, featuring conversations about inappropriate encounters they allegedly had in her classroom during lunch periods or after school.
The teacher allegedly wrote that she enjoyed the child touching her and “making out,” according to charging documents that CBS News obtained.
Upon reading the disturbing messages, the boy’s father stormed into the school with printouts of the conversations in hand.
A subsequent police investigation uncovered even more disgusting details, including handwritten letters found in Bergmann’s backpack in which she allegedly wrote about kissing and being in love with the young student.
“One of my cousins is in the 5th grade and I can’t imagine a man talking to her how we talk,” Bergmann allegedly wrote. “I know we have a special relationship and I do love you more than anyone in the world but I have to be the adult here and stop.”
Bergmann, who was engaged to be married in July when she was first arrested, resigned from her teaching position shortly after the news broke, KARE11 reported.
After further investigation, prosecutors charged her with one count of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, five charges of sexual misconduct by school staff, two charges of child enticement causing mental or bodily harm, and a charge of exposing a child to harmful materials, according to an amended complaint that the New York Post viewed.
Bergmann faces up to 185 years in prison if convicted and sentenced consecutively.
Her ex-fiance, Sam Hickman, is reportedly humiliated that she “cheated with a little kid.”
An anonymous friend of Hickman told the New York Post, “Sam is really upset and heartbroken. He’s embarrassed and pissed. He didn’t deserve this. Everyone is pissed.”
The friend said it was a mutual decision to cancel the wedding, adding Hickman “says it’s f*cked up that she cheated with a little kid.”

YIKES!!

This may be a dumb question, but hear me out?

So, a friend of mine and I was at the range, and I let him shoot one of my pistols with a RDS on it and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

I zeroed it to hit POA POI at exactly 25yds and that is exactly what it was doing for me.

He kept asking me where should the bullet go? I kept telling him where you put the red dot should be the POI.

Anyway, I was like man I don't know what the fuck you are doing, but for me its hitting exactly where the red dot is.

My question is even though it was zeroed for me with my eyes could it not have been zeroed for him the way his eyes look through the sight?

Now this got me thinking with rifle scopes if I zero my scope for me and if someone else looks through it (other than the diopter needing to be adjusted for the reticle) shouldn't it be zeroed for them as well?

I got a friend that wants me to mount and zero a new scope for him and it got me thinking "when he looks through it will it be zeroed for him as well?"

The saga continues! More 12.5 data ***updated 8/24***

Fairly cool yesterday, around 74°. On yesterday's to-do list:

Black arc 77 Nas3
Badlands 77 shell shock
Badlands 75 shell shock
Aac 77 otm

Garmin xero chrono

The bad news-i forgot to charge my garmin and it didn't make it through all the ammo. If was also very windy so I didn't get an accuracy test in.

Good velocities but a rather large ES from these for me.

A little on the slow side but really good stats

*sigh* the 77gr load performs poorly for me from them
Screenshot_20240819-081007_ShotView.jpg


Dead chrono. I didn't get to test the 75's but from my previous outings with them, they had to be moving around 2650. I zeroed it and pushed them out to 400 to verify. Streloks holds where dead on using my previous data for them.


I have a new batch of Badlands coming this week that I'm going to test-they changed some powder and switched the 77's back to the smk from the hornady.

****updated**** 8/24
Sunny 85⁰

Chapo's son kidnapped Mayo Zambada

Surprised no one is talking about this..


The biggest drug lord since Escobar gets "tricked" into a 1-way trip to gringolandia by his own godson, and son of his former partner/co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquin Guzman Loera 'El Chapo', who is the father of Joaquin Guzman Lopez(Mayos godson that kidnapped him).

Craziest story in the drug world so far this century, by a long shot. Details are still super murky. Three-four different stories/versions are currently floating around.

But the one that keeps popping up the most, and has been apparently verified by Mayo himself in a letter communicated through his lawyer, is that Joaquin Jr was essentially acting as a US Agent(presumably to get a sweet plea deal for himself and help his brother Ovidio as well, who was extradited last year & awaiting trial).


@Skunk please tell me you got some insight dude this is some incredulous shit 😳
I follow this drug war thing intently... And a month ago, id have bet half my life savings that old dinosaur would die comfortably in his bed surrounded by friends and family. 50+ years at the very tip top of the narco world, never seen a jail cell once. Many thought he was already dead...

I don't even know how to begin to wrap my head around this one or even any input really aside from absolute astonishment. If there's anyone I thought NEVER would be caught, it'd be "king" Zambada. His sister Modesta is married to a fckn CIA agent/asset that we used quite a bit in our Cuban and Nicaraguan shenanigans.

The only input I really have to add here is there is some shaky/sketchy precedent for this not working in the DOJ's favor.
Dr. Machain, the doctor who kept Kiki Camarena alive so that the narcos & DFS agents could torture him longer, was also extrajudicially kidnapped(by an undercover DEA agent). And they ultimately had to set him free because of that...

\/\/\/ - very loosely adapted/dramatized.. but still an absolutely EXCELLENT show!
But yes .. that Doctor? He's a free man. They let him go once he started making all that noise about kidnapping.. so we'll see how this plays out.

Login to view embedded media

But I doubt DOJ is letting go of Mayo under any circumstances. He's literally the MOST POWERFUL kingpin in the world currently. Basically the last of the old guard that was still free. Only one left now(of the old school major big league bosses) is Chapos brother Aureliano 'El Guano' Guzman Loera.
This is serious high level shit. Old man Zambada kept a certain peace and order in the narco world(at least in his plazas/areas of control). And has dirt on 4 decades or more of the highest levels of .gov on BOTH sides of the border.

A strong bet would be they'll give him an offer he can't refuse, to testify against the entire corrupt political machine of Mx, in order to give justification to put US boots on the ground in Mexico proper... To give us another unwinnable money pit "war"....

SOLD Manners TCS Copperhead

Selling my manners TCS. Mag catch has been modified to feed AW’s and had no issues with my impact action for the last 9 months or so. Should still work with AICS’s but I cannot promise anything as I never ran them. However manners can get you another mag catch in the event that they don’t feed properly.

That being said, stock comes with the 2 round holder, cheek pad, rear buttstock weight, and I believe I have all but one or two of the arca rail weights in there as well. Super awesome stock, but not pursuing PRS as heavily any more. Has the sikes rail and the little knob deal too.

Asking 1450 shipped PayPal f&f preferred.

Battle of the Savage 110s

I’m looking to do a budget precision build and I am looking at two different flavors of Savage 110s, the Tactical and the Trail Hunter, but I’m not sure which to do, both seem to have advantages and disadvantages.

The Trail Hunter has a heavier barrel, and I like that, and I like the jeweling they did on the bolt, I know it doesn’t really do anything, but I like the look. But it does not take useful magazines (I define useful has 5 rounds and up, and typically AICS, if Mauser could do a 5 round magazine in the 19th century I will accept nothing less in the 21st century), the stock is non adjustable and kind of cheap looking, and I would need to add a scope rail and a different bolt handle. It is also $200 cheaper.

The Tactical has the right scope rail and bolt handle out of the box and takes real magazines, and the stock is adjustable (sort of) and I think the barrel is 2 inches longer, however it is also a thinner barrel, which I don't like, but it’s fluted and I like fluted. But it does not have the jeweled bolt and I really don’t like skinny hunting profile barrels, fluted or not, and while it’s decently accurate the reviews I have seen are not as glowing about it’s accuracy as they are with the Trail Hunter. It is also $200 more.

In the case of the Trail hunter I would have to get a chassis, the included stock is very flimsy and does not take real magazines and it is not adjustable. The Tactical has a much better stock and is set up for real magazines and it can be adjusted but I hate that style of adjustment, it seems very very old fashioned to me and can’t be done on the fly, ARs have had adjustable stocks for decades now and the modern ones are available with cheek risers too and for not much money, how is it that bolt guns seem to almost all be so behind and adjustable stocks cost more than most entry level rifles? Ultimately it would probably be replaced with a chassis too but it could wait a while, while the Trail Hunter I would consider unusable without it
(Magazines).

TLDR version:

Trail Hunter: $200 cheaper but needs about $100 in upgrades plus a chassis because the stock/magazines are horrible. Really good barrel though. Pretty bolt.

Tactical: More expensive but ready to use out of the box, and has a less crappy stock, I would still want a chassis but it could wait a bit. But the barrel is not as good and the bolt is ugly.

Basically I think the Trail Hunter is the better barreled action, but that’s all that it is, the stock is garbage, but the Tactical is usable out of the box but has a questionable barrel. The Trail Hunter is $200 cheaper but that comes down to only $100 cheaper after adding the scope rail and changing the bolt handle.

So which would you pick and why?

Howa or Savage

Looking to put together a range toy bolt gun in .223. Primary use of the rifle will be to just have some fun at the range and in the reloading room. Will also be used to introduce new shooters to precision style rifle shooting. Admittedly, I’m a Tikka fan but finding anything in .223 with more than a 3-4 round magazine is virtually nonexistent. With that, I’m looking at picking up a Howa Mini Action from Brownells and dropping it in a chassis (Oryx or XRS). I recently came across the Savage Axis II Precision which essentially comes in an Oryx chassis from Savage. Price is close enough to not matter.

Which would you choose and why? Looking to stay at or under $1000 for the rifle/chassis so if you have other ideas that fit that criteria, please feel free to share those.

Thanks in advance!
