Fucking Life Insurance Companies

Metlife just doubled my premium on a $100K policy. These blood suckers know how to fuck over the average middle class retirees
Fixed income, raise the premium, policy lapses, Metlife doesn't pay. Fuck these asshole I'll go back to work before I let that happen.
I'll never see the $$ but just knowing they will pay the benefit.
Found out it costs more to get older

Cure For Bullying - Share Your Stories

I have a few stories on handling bullies but are not creative or that capture the imagination. Regardless, this story caught my eye. So I will start with this tale of tutoring a bully. Anyone else have a good story on teaching turds a lesson? Post it here.

Hanoi Jane (starting a new thread to protect the MPT's integrity)

On second thought-

Rather than pollute the MPT with Hanoi Jane/Jane Fonda commentary- please direct your comments here. For a quick recap- we were talking about the below urinal stickers being on all of the VFW urinals that I've encountered and why her actions warranted it with the Vietnam Vets...

It was then mentioned that her actions were worth the decades of anger and that when she passes, dollars to doughnuts says she'll be cremated and ashes spread out along the CA coast because the remaining Vietnam Vets will line up to piss on her grave otherwise.

It may be worthwhile to explain what caused this hate and I'm sure we'll have some Vietnam Vets come along to fill in the gaps but she (1) made a public scene to sympathize with the NVA (2) if I remember right was shown all of the 'awful' destruction of the American bombs which later turned out to be the handiwork of the NVA and a propaganda tool and (3) absolutely sold out our POW's by turning in their notes to the NVA and laughed about it as she hopped on her private jet.

Did I miss anything?

Aftermarket Hunting Stocks

Been back and forth for some time now on which factory hunting rifle I want to purchase next. The next 2 rifles I want will be a 308 and a 300WM. Been eyeing a few different models by Weatherby, Tikka, and Remington. However, also considering purchasing a Howa barreled action off of Brownells and building it that route.

I would fit this build with a classic hunting style stock, and have so far been looking at McMillan and Bell & Carlson. However, I'm not overly versed in the aftermarket stock market for hunting style stocks so wanted to turn here to see if you all have any other manufacturers that I should be looking into.

This will be a rifle that is used as a range gun and a hunting rifle. Not super concerned about weight, as none of my hunting hikes will be too too deep into trails for the time being. I can handle a bit of the weight for the amount of hike time I'll have.

does shipped mean you get the item?

Hi, I have a problem with a seller that sold me a barrel for $400.00 shipped. It appears to be lost with FedEx. The ad doesn't say if you want insurance it's extra. He is not responding to my private messages. The way I look at it is shipped means shipped and received. He is not offering me anything not even the $100.00 minimum insurance that you get with all packages.

Looking for budget friendly glass

Hi all,
I am looking to start building my first bolt action 6.5 CM rifle. (I have a multi caliber can that I will be using with this rifle although maybe not full time)
I haven't settled on anything just yet but here is what I am thinking so far:
Action: Zermitt Origin SA(Or a TL3. I think I have seen more mentions of the TL3 on this site, but not really sure why or what the difference between the 2 are.)
Barrel: Shouldered prefit barrel (possibly from PVA or NSS. I have reached out to both for more information). 26" with heavy Palma contour
Stock/Chassis: KRG Bravo (Although I'd really love the Whiskey-3)
Trigger: I'll probably use the stock trigger for now.
Glass: I need some recommendations on good quality budget glass. My friends over at TGT recommended snipershide to me and I've even purchased what's being a called a diamond in the rough scope from Primary Arms (SP1-6x24) based on recommendations that originated from snipershide.
I need something for the rifle I am planning to build ^^ that will allow me to get my feet wet and learn the fundamentals of zeroing in a scope and learning how to adjust it for different distances and situations. If I can stay within the $300-$600 range that would be great. If not then I am open to other suggestions that exceed that. I am open to buying used and/or a trade. I am considering selling my AR-15 style rifle to provide additional funding for this rifle, but with the ATF being GAF right now I am bit hesitant to do so.

Please keep in mind I am completely new to bolt action rifles (I have never owned or fired one). I am more than willing to do research and I have been down a rabbit hole doing so for about 2 weeks now lol. I have read some of the other threads on here about optics, but some of them are a bit dated so I wanted to get a fresh perspective.

Thank you all in advance. So far my experience here on the hide has been fantastic. You all are a great group. It is much appreciated.
