Which Thunderbeast?

I just got a 50 percent off cert for thunderbeast and I am trying to decide which can to get. I have an idea I want to build a 300 PRC so primarily that is what the can would be sitting on in most cases but I also may but it on some other short action cartridges. I want one of the magnus line suppressors. Currently thinking of the magnus rr or the magnus-s rr. What are some pros and cons of each. Weight is not really a factor.

SOLD Absolutely beautiful M1 Garand SPF

Gents,

Selling my Springfield M1 Garand, December 1942 lead annealed receiver, new Criterion barrel, all Springfield parts iirc including correct lockbar rear sight. Rifle has an absolutely gorgeous curly maple stock set. Stock fitting, barrel installation, tuning and parkerizing was done many years ago by Dean's Gun Restorations out of Tennessee who is long out of business from what I understand. Personally only fired around 50 rounds of HXP surplus ammo through the rifle in the last 20 years, it's really just been a safe queen. Could possibly make someone a really nice Garand match rifle or a really nice addition to someone's collection.

SOLD no trades please. Venmo, Cash App, PayPal accepted with buyer taking care of the fees.

dumb question : just how much does shooting up hill/down hill affect bullet drop

since there are way too many different calibers and nuances to each individual cartridge , for sake of argument lets just ask how much does shooting up hill , or down hill does gravity affect any given bullet in relation to its particular mid to max to sweet spot range in relation to a flat shot , is POI really that noticeable?

What happened here? Case blew up, magazine disintegrated

I was popping gophers with my T1X using CCI Standard ammo and after about fifty rounds I felt blast on my face and heard what I thought was glass breaking. I think the sound was the baseplate flying off the mag.

In the chamber I found a case with half the base tore off and stuck under the extractor. I pried it out with a knife.

20250527_185321.jpg



Sorry the pictures aren't the best. Just wondering what causes/caused this? I have had a case rupture shooting reloaded 9mm years ago but never a .22 in the thousands on thousands of rounds I have fired.

Only real loss was I couldn't find the mag spring in the grass.

  • ATACR

    Votes: 33 86.8%

I need a new scope for my 18” 5.56 DMR. I am torn between the two options from NF. I usually don’t like to go below 18-20x on my scopes but I see a lot of love for the ATACR, for obvious reasons. Both would be bought with a MIL-XT and cost around the same +\- $400

Any substantial optical quality I would be giving up by going with the NX8?

Maggie’s 23andMe and your DNA History

Sold to a pharmaceutical company…


23andMe and its customers’ genetic data bought by a pharmaceutical org​

Posted: May 20, 2025 by Pieter Arntz
The bankrupt genetic testing company 23andMe has been scooped up by drug producer Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for $256 million dollars.
But why would a pharmaceutical company like Regeneron buy a bankrupt genetics testing company like 23andMe for such a large amount of money?
Well, Regeneron is a leading biotechnology company that invents, develops, and monetizes life-transforming medicines for people with serious diseases. So, it seems obvious that Regeneron’s primary interest lies in the genetic data collected by 23andMe, and the situation raises complex ethical, privacy, and security concerns that customers should understand and address.
Regeneron has pledged to uphold data privacy and security, working closely with a court-appointed Customer Privacy Ombudsman, acknowledging the importance of customer data protection and the ethical use of genetic information.
Dr. George Yancopoulos, Regeneron’s president, said in a statement:
“We believe we can help 23andMe deliver and build upon its mission to help people learn about their own DNA and how to improve their personal health, while furthering Regeneron’s efforts to improve the health and wellness of many.”
However, the scenario is less grim than the fears uttered by Senator Cassidy, chair of the US Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, who expressed concerns about foreign adversaries, including the Chinese Communist Party, acquiring the sensitive genetic data of millions of Americans through 23andMe.
Regeneron already manages genetic data from nearly three million people, so 23andMe’s 15 million customers significantly expand this resource. Besides the genetic data itself, Regeneron likely values the consumer genetics business infrastructure and research services that 23andMe built, which can complement Regeneron’s pharmaceutical pipeline and personalized medicine efforts.
Genetic data is uniquely sensitive because it contains deeply personal information about an individual’s health risks, ancestry, and even family relationships. Unlike traditional medical records protected under HIPAA, 23andMe’s genetic data is covered primarily by consumer privacy laws, which offer weaker protections.

What can consumers do to protect their data?​

Customers should actively manage their data on 23andMe by reviewing policies, deleting data if desired, and staying vigilant about how their sensitive genetic information is used.
People that have submitted samples to 23andMe have three different options, each providing a different level of privacy.

1. Delete your genetic data from 23andMe

For 23andMe customers who want to delete their data from 23andMe:
  • Log into your account and navigate to Settings.
  • Under Settings, scroll to the section titled 23andMe data. Select View.
  • You will be asked to enter your date of birth for extra security.
  • In the next section, you’ll be asked which, if there is any, personal data you’d like to download from the company (make sure you’re using a personal, not public, computer). Once you’re finished, scroll to the bottom and select Permanently delete data.
  • You should then receive an email from 23andMe detailing its account deletion policy and requesting that you confirm your request. Once you confirm you’d like your data to be deleted, the deletion will begin automatically, and you’ll immediately lose access to your account.

2. Destroy your 23andMe test sample

If you previously opted to have your saliva sample and DNA stored by 23andMe, but want to change that preference, you can do so from your account settings page, under “Preferences.”

3. Revoke permission for your genetic data to be used for research

If you previously consented to 23andMe and third-party researchers using your genetic data and sample for research, you may withdraw consent from the account settings page, under Research and Product Consents.

Check if you were caught up in the 23AndMe data breach​

Additionally, you may want to check if your data was exposed in the 2023 data breach. We recommend that you run a scan using our free Digital Footprint Portal to see if your data was exposed in the breach, and then to take additional steps to protect yourself (we’ll walk you through those).

Optics Tangent Theta 525 Charlie Tarac Adapter $35 shipped

TT 525 is sold, just the spare Charlie Tarac adapter is all that's left.

TT 525 Gen 3XR with sunshade, TT throw lever, Multicam Black scope chaps, and a Charlie TARAC adapter. sold! Also up for grabs, I have a spare set of TT 525 flip caps (Sold!) and a spare Charlie TARAC adapter that I apparently ordered by accident. $35 for the Charlie T. adapter.

I've had this scope for four years, and it's treated me well. The scope is in good condition with very faint ring marks on the bottom side. It's been sent twice to ATI/TT for cleaning due to grease separation splattering the inside of the lens. I haven't mounted the scope since getting it back from it's last cleaning earlier this year. So I'm offering it up here instead of letting it sit on a shelf for the foreseeable future.

Money orders, checks (must clear before shipping), and paypal. I do not have venmo, zelle any of the other digital forms of payment.
