Reading the signs



Shooting is a fascinating blend of art and science, requiring not just skill but also a deep understanding of physics, mechanics, and psychology. Whether you’re a seasoned rifleman or a novice honing your skills, mastering the fundamentals is essential. Let’s delve into how using paper at 100y can elevate your shooting to a new level.

He "HATES" Taylor Swift ...

What in God's name was Trump trying to accomplish with that social media post? Why wouldn't he just let her endorsement age quickly and pass into oblivion? Why consciously piss off hundreds of millions of loyal fans around the world, many of them in the USA, many of them in that critical first-election youth demographic? If Trump loses, history will look back at this and probably list it in the "Top-10 Crazy Mistakes" that lost him the election. Right up there with Hannibal Lecter, death by shark or battery, wind-farm bird-cemeteries, and pet-eating immigrants. It just feels like he's either losin' it ... or needs to hire a full-time "Impulse Control Coach" that holds onto his phone. It's like that scene in "The Sandlot" ...

Fifth Circuit Rules Illegal Aliens Have No Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms

It's too bad we have to celebrate a victory of a ruling on a law thats always been on the books but this is good news, bad for the commie fuctard enablers that ignore the laws and Constitution. The sneaky fucks that are in this country illegally are not supposed to be in possession of a firearm.

That includes the big-tech globalist Biden supporting Californian I know that bought a ranch in the Hill Country and allows his illegal alien brush cutters to invite their extended families of illegals to hunt out there with their high dollar rifles and scopes.

Here's the retread:

I'm sure it will go into the "Fuck your laws" trash can but its a slight moral victory.

Honest question…?

So, why is it, with all this tech and crap we have these days, it’s so hard to get a clear winner on election night? I mean seriously? They are already saying it may take days or even weeks, which I find utterly ridiculous. I remember going to vote with my parents in the 80’s and coming home and hearing about the winners at 8-10pm that night. And, they hand counted the damn ballots. Now we have all this shit and we can’t come up with a winner the same night? I call BS. I mean how dumb do people have to be? We got to demand some change and that’s really assuming it even counts to begin with. It could have been the illusion of choice since the beginning…

Another caliber selection post

Hi all,
I'm planning my first custom build after running a 6.5 CM Tikka/Xray setup for a couple of years and a number of PRS-style club matches (400-1300 yards). I've settled on the ARC CDG for an action but frankly I'm at a loss for what caliber to go with. I've been very happy with my 6.5 CM, but I figure if I'm spending the money on a custom, I should get every competitive advantage I can for match performance. Going by what's popular , it seems like 6 dasher is far and away the most popular cartridge in PRS. My understanding is the benefit over a 140 6.5 CM ELDM is essentially less recoil, in exchange for worse performance in the wind (correct me if I'm wrong). I've also read here and there about 6 dasher having mag/feeding issues more than other choices.

Am I correct in assuming that choosing any 6mm other than 6 CM, I'd basically be required to reload 100% of the time? I believe there's 1 or 2 "boutique" services out there that will basically reload for you, but no real factory ammo options on the horizon, and I'm not spending $2.50+ per shot. I've got a basic reloading setup for 6.5 but I'm a novice with it, and more than that I'm concerned that I won't shoot as often if I have to reload for it all the time. For me, cranking out 20-30 takes around an hour. I suspect that's pretty slow, but I paranoidly trickle all of my powder charges up to they "just" tick up to the tenth-grain I want on the powder scale (Maybe someone with more experience could tell me if that's a pointless endeaver, even when it comes to precision).

In short, I'm wondering if it's possible I could improve the time spent reloading by adjusting my process, but at the same time I'm also wondering if the difference between 6.5 CM and 6 dasher is "worth it". Beyond that, I'm open to opinions about other cartridges as well; I suspect they will all hinge on the same reloading question.

One other question - I'm assuming worst case, if I pick a caliber I don't shoot as often what whatever reason, I'd just be a quick prefit swap away from switching calibers. Is my logic sound, or am I forgetting something else that might keep me from switching calibers without too much fuss?

MoneyPitArms Matrix Thumb Wheel ball and spring

I bought a matrix from a friend . I wasn't aware of the brilliant way they designed the cheekpiece removal for cleaning . I cannot find any diagrams or videos on how or where to place said ball and spring . Money pit Arms solution is to buy a $20 cheek riser collar set and then give them another $10 for shipping . Woody at MPA doesn't answer the phone . Ed's in Alaska hunting moose for three weeks . I can run it without them , but I'd just like to know how to make it run "as designed" . Thanks I appreciate any help

Manners TCS vs Foundation stock

So I currently run a Manners PRS TCS and really like it. I've been interested in trying a Foundation stock for my centerfire build but no one at my club seems to have one. I'm trying to figure out which model Foundation stock has a similar grip to trigger spacing as the Manners TCS.

I am not too concerned with the differences in the forend. I'm open to trying pretty much any of the models assuming it fits my hand correctly. Picture for attention 😅

Well, Gentleman, I Finally Ordered Alpha Glass

Currently the highest quality scope I own is a Steiner Predator 4 2.5-10x42.

EuroOptic had a Demo Zeiss V8 1.8-14x50 available for a little under $2200 shipped. I'm a sucker for FUDD reticles (Duplex/German #4 etc).
I've lusted over a Zeiss V8 for about 6 years now even though I've never had one in hand.

This will cost me anything else in the Fun budget through Q1 next year, but I'm hopeful it'll be worth it.

It will be going on a RECCE/Mod H-ish build that has a 16 inch Heavy Nitrided LW 50 barrel.

So, outside of the FUDD reticle, which I know isn't to the taste of y'all here, how'd I do? Anyone else own this scope & have experience with it?

I request a Ruling by the Referee on this one

I'm noticing this more and more. A young butch looking woman in her twenties working at our local methmart starts growing a beard. I go in on a weekly basis and notice the transformation.

Next was a thin mustache, her voice is lower, a month later one of my workers stops by and calls her ma'am and it jumps his ass and acts like it wants to fight, saying "It's Sir!"

And now this. They need to add to her description 5-3", 140 lbs, red hair and possibly a full red beard.
