Been going back and forth between putting a LPVO on my AR or a red dot. Was never really into red dots in the past but thinking I'll give one a try. Need to keep this budget friendly, as much under $400 as possible.

A few ideas I've been looking at:
Leupold Freedom
Sig Romeo 7
Vortex Strikefire II
Vortex Crossfire II

Anyone with experience using any of those? Open to others, and also hearing more about any other brands as I have not yet researched any of the other top manufacturers in the space.

1200 bucks.

-Curtis Axiom SA action with 1500 rounds on action

-Trigger tech diamond
-MPA dna 4 port muzzle break

Barrel loves Berger ammunition. Consistently shoots factory berger 130 OTM sub 3/8 MOA.

Reason for selling: I’ve been shooting 6.5 CM for a while and want to try a 6mm cartridge in a heavier contour PRS setup, I don’t need/can’t love both.

Better pictures available per DM.

Price: sold

Wanted to see if anyone knows about or has any updates on the new 700 SA actions that are supposed to be hitting the market soon. Had heard of something from both L3i and Elemental Industries but seems they are both delayed. They both seemed promising and am debating on whether to start a new build or wait for something new.

I ordered an Oklahoma Joes Judge charcoal grill on Amazon Prime Day. I couldn’t resist, I saved $175 on it.
Does anybody have one? Can you tell me about it? The good, the bad and the ugly?
It looks like a grill like they made when I was a kid, heavy duty, cast iron grates, adjustable charcoal tray. Only thing missing is a rotisserie.
Thanks.

Are there any spots to shoot long range in Iceland? My family is taking a trip in August and I’m always looking for new spots to shoot.

Has to be in the 10s of millions doesn't it.... even though he probably doesn't know what day it is.

Ice cream.... you you you know... the thing.

Maybe the kickbacks from Ukraine have been enough....

Ok first and foremost, I’m looking to start a compact rifle build. So think takedown and small. I would like at least two caliber options in this kit, possibly three. So my initial questions are regarding switch barrel 700s in general. Those that have them built are you hand torquing the barrel to headspace to a predetermined rating or how are you getting repeatable safe headspacing? Second, interrupted threads. I would like to be able to drop the barrel in place and have quarter turn or one full turn to seat. I know it’s more work but that’s the picture I have in my mind. Lastly, calibers. 300wm which is universal and needs no introduction, then the second is a little more unusual. 12.7x57
Anthis. Google might be necessary but it’s essentially a subsonic European cartridge based on the 460 weatherby brass. Shortened and using a 50bmg bullet. I have a lot of knowledge of this cartridge, having built a couple rifles in this years ago. So brass, dies and even chamber reamer are no issue. For those that don’t know it, go look it up. Serious subsonic .50 caliber. It will be used exclusively in an integrally suppressed barrel. The third, if there is one is yet to be determined. I really wanted something big and magnum as I will already have a .585 bolt face bolt. This little kit will be fitted for two bolts. One to run the 300wm and the second with the larger bolt face for the 460 brass.

So, how much is Jill Biden's book deal going to be? Asking for all of us American taxpayers.

I'm looking at building/buying my son his first CF rifle for his birthday this year. Leaning towards a 22 ARC. Itd be a pretty versatile cartridge ranging anywhere from varmint to target. Has light recoil and shouldn't be awful on barrels.

I'm not really wanting to break the bank on this one but want something better than a Ruger American.

Wish Solus or Mack had PPC bolt face, but thinking
Origin/Howa(cheap)
Prefit Light Varmint BBL
Pick up a used Element
Some 2-12/3-15 type scope.

Am I missing any obvious factory action options or calibers? Off the shelf ammo is a must as I really dont want to load all the rounds this kid is gonna put down range, and he isnt versed enough yet to reload on his own. I'm not really in the space of $5-800 scopes anymore, what fits the bill thays usable at low power for dusk/dawn whitetail/coyotes?

Btw not really interested in 223, I have a few now and really am not impressed with them in hunting situations, and its always gun to add another cartridge to the safe.

Considering building one as hunting rifle . We mostly sit in blinds, by the time you hang a suppressor on the end of it, rifles get long and awkward to maneuver inside .

Was thinking 16-18 in barrel .

Don’t fool with reloading, don’t have any time for it . So everything would just be factory ammo .

With the short setup, am I just eating time/money ? Will it offer anything better than a good ole 308 setup similar?

Original plan was 300wm w 18 inch barrel, but based on reading so far sounds like that’d just be a really cool fireball making machine .

End goal is basically a short barrel elk rifle for lake of better description

Ten people shot three fatally at a party in Philly. Amish again?

i know this belongs in the "Physical Fitness" sub forum, but that forum doesn't seem to get much traction anymore since we moved to the "filter" tab selection thingy a few years ago...

I am looking to get into state law enforcement with the PA Game Commission in my mid 40s. I passed the civil service exam, passed my PT test and am now in my 3 month long background check. I had my in home background check interview the other day and it went pretty well. The school is almost a year long and since I am older, I asked how strenuous is the PT everyday. I have lived a pretty eventful life and have tons of injuries and quite a few were life changing that just will not go away. One of the officers mentioned that they smoke you the first day there with a 1000 rep workout and I think he said a 5 mile run...maybe it was 5K run. They continue to smoke you the whole first week to weed out the unprepared students. If I make it thru the entire process, I have until March 1st 2025 (my own mental goal, not sure of the exact date) to be ready, the school starts sometime in March 2025. I will have literally just turned 45 in February. I am in ok shape for 44, definitely way better than 90% of the dudes my age. I don't have a gut, my abs are starting to show again, I'm getting back some muscle tone, I quit drinking 7 months ago (had nothing to do with this new possible career field), I quit smoking 7 years ago. I am 5'-10" 192lbs but everyone thinks I weigh sub 180...I don't know why. Maybe because I carry my weight in my legs (I have always had pretty thick legs). I was 220 with a gut before I quit drinking and would like to get back to 180 when i graduated high school when I had good muscle and no fat. I do realize I have lost A LOT of muscle mass and will probably retain some belly fat.

I am looking for some exercise suggestions to help me prepare. My running goal is 6 miles, I am up to 2 trying to keep my heart rate low at a pace of 10min/mile. My PT test was a pace of 8min/mile so I do know I can run faster. I can run/walk 3 miles. I do know he said it is 10 exercises of 100 reps each. He said, "The usual; push ups, sit ups, squats, mountain climbers, burpees and then a run". I asked for him to elaborate a bit more on the other exercises and he just said high rep body weight exercises. Other than the 5 I listed, what am i missing? Pull ups...those are gonna be killer. My shoulders are fucked with a capital FUCKED. I separated my left shoulder 4 times and my right 3 times. I tore my ACL in my right knee twice, had it repaired once and tore it again but didn't have it repaired the 2nd time, and had back surgery in 2013 when i was 33.

I tired looking for a standard test, but everything seems to be all over the place.

So far:
push ups
sit ups
burpees
mtn climbers
squats

Thank you!

Well, he just tweeted it out…what happens next is anyone’s guess

How many of you are getting political texts with links to surveys and crap from people? I just got one from Donald Trump Jr. saying they need my help and to go complete surveys and junk. I don’t click on links that don’t come from a known source. As much as I am kind of curious, it’s not happening. Do you guys have some trusted ways of verifying stuff or are you like me and just ignore?

This is 6.5cm that was loaded with 42gr of Staball 6.5 under a 153 A-tip .040 of the lands. What is causing this buildup. It has happened on other calibers as well using different brands of brass. I have always done a full-length size on all cases. Anything that shoots from a magazine gets a very light crimp.

Bipod is in great condition, minimal wear from use.
