For the sake of my own sanity- I have to ask the question- has this ever been "fun" for folks that went through this the 1st time? My bride and I continue to look at houses and as an example- last weekend, 3 of the 4 we had scheduled... the previous Thursday if I remember correctly got canceled because they went under contract (sight unseen/no contingencies) before we could even view them. Previously we've looked at houses and offers were already in by the time we looked at the next house on the same day. It's maddening (although they seem to go for asking price and the 'bidding wars' have died down).

I've got a level head on my shoulders but gosh dang if this isn't frustrating and it's taking a lot out of me. I love my wife but I'm letting the frustration bleed through in the process as well admittedly. I'm stressed out about the initial cost, the lot/drainage of the lot, foundation issues, roof/appliance conditions, utilities, taxes etc- and while we're touring houses and I'm looking to do a deep dive into these concerns my cohort is making comments about colors, cabinets, pantries, closet space, windows, etc. I knew what I was marrying into and it wouldn't be fair to place the blame on my wife, I know it's just a super frustrating process (for me at least) and I have no complaints about our real estate agent but dang, if this whole process isn't a giant "bag of dicks" but my question is- was it always this way or am I "chasing skirts" for home ownership? Has anyone else experienced the same "conflict of concerns/importance" with their spouse? Have you ever toured a house and understood the "cost of ownership" but worried about the Diderot Effect?

I’ve been looking for a Seekins SP3RV3 RAIL SYSTEM to match up to one of their uppers. Out of stock everywhere and not backorderable, optics planet says it’s discontinued. Is Seekins still making this particular upper? Hell, are they stillmaking anything these days? I’ve been on the waiting list for a SP10 builders kit for 2 years now.

Fuck free speech my pussy hurts !

I had an interesting meeting this week which caused me to thing about competition rifle (target) shooting as a global industry. And while I shoot regularly and reload (recreational) I didn't It have the answers that we being asked of me. I figured I would ask here and seek some wisdom.

1. Is the sport growing? I assume it is growing (F-Class, Palma, PRS, Benchrest..etc)
2. If it IS growing it is global, or US only?
3. Are there any estimates of participation number either US only, or better yet, globally for discipline listed above?
4. What type of global viewership/spectators are these events drawing and do they generate revenue?
5. Is there/are there an organization (s) that "own" these events or govern them?

What I am getting at...is there a world where you could see these events becoming a larger spectator sport? For example:

TV deals, venues that attract paying spectators etc..I have seen F-Class events on YouTube that have taken on a semi-offciial production value with commentators and spectator aids like digital targets...

Any thoughts, comments and information on any of this would be appreciated

Thank you

After 40+ years in central Florida I moved up to east Tennessee in November 2022. I moved into an apartment in Lenoir City while waiting for my house to be built near Sweetwater TN. I had all of my reloading components and equipment in storage during that time. I moved into the house about a month ago and got my storage unit stuff delivered about 2 weeks ago. On Friday evening I started unpacking and organizing my basement workshop (climate controlled). So far the only casualties of being in storage for 19 months are some of my reloading components: Redding T7 press, and a bunch of dies.

What's the best way to deal with the rust on the press and the dies?

Thanks.

DHS has recently yet again stated that white Christians and conservatives are the greatest threat to our “democracy”

These guys - one with DEA one with ATF must not have seen that memo- cause they went on a drinking bender and tuned up an African national- because he “may have been on a terror watch list “

all of the alt news sources are looking at putin's visit to no. kor. don't know what MIC #2 syas. don't watch them. it does matter and doesn't look good for the US and it's remaining allies in asia. i think his stopover in vietnam is more important. pre biden,they have been a rather dependable trading partner and rather friendly to us. yea,they are commies. who gives a shit? the VC were never gonna invade kali. i don't think ho was dumb enough to want it anyway. amazing really considering we killed a couple mil of them. vietnam was always closer to russia than china. fought china a bunch over last 1000 or so years. during VN war mao said that he would not go in like korea unless chinese nat'l territory was violated. he was busy with a cultural revolution at the time. he actually cut them off for the most part. saving VN and all SE asia from china was 1 of the scams run on us by the MIC to justify the war. as an aside they have the youngest age population in the world,opposite of japan. they had to put a stop to pol pot. chinese got pissed and it didn't go too well for china.
my point is that putin is way smarter than the fools running this country (into the ground), trump had a dialogue going with kim,a commie. we traded with tito back in the 60s/70s. was a commie that russia hated. kaddafi was chill after regan bombed his house. we trade with a bunch of muslim countries. the point is we can get along with most people,do biz,do tourist shit. we don't have to bomb and kill everyone who isn't like us and doesn't like us and is not impressed with the shinning light on the hill. need to mind our own biz and have a very strong military so people don't fuck with us. our military now is totally degraded by bad wars and incompetent traitors currently in office. think some guy in 1900 said speak (walk) softly and carry a big stick. we don't have to put up with horn of africa pirates,houthis rocketers or iranians raping our embassy. we never use our power ruthlessly when it is justified and get pissed on by savages using the mcnamara incremental bullshit. makes the MIC more $ i guess.

A Georgia judge is claiming that her arrest at an Atlanta-area nightclub was a “setup” after she was caught on police body camera striking an officer in an altercation where she says she was only trying to help a woman who was being attacked.
Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson was arrested at the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge in Buckhead shortly after 3:00 a.m. Thursday when police responded to a fight “between two separate parties,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
While Peterson was “not involved in the initial altercation,” according to the arresting officer, he said he was “approached and struck with a closed fist by the accused, Christina Peterson.”
“Ms. Peterson then forcibly pushed the officer in the chest and kept swiping his hands away as he attempted to assist the female being escorted out,” the Atlanta Police Department said in a press release.
“Ms. Peterson pushed the officer in the chest again and that is when she was subsequently placed into custody.”
The 38-year-old judge has since been charged with battery and felony obstruction, with body cam footage released by Atlanta Police Department (APD) showing her striking the cop and screaming “let her fucking go” as he attempts to break up the dispute.
As Peterson was arrested after putting her hands on the officer, she repeatedly refused to provide her name and appeared to make a veiled threat.
“The last person that ever tried me like this died 30 days later,” she could allegedly be heard saying in the video. “I pray for you.”
As the footage progressed to booking Peterson into jail, she remained combative and continued refusing to reveal her identity.
“This was a setup,” Peterson said in an Instagram post shortly after her release from custody. “Officer initially claimed he was charging me with disorderly conduct, all for trying to help a woman who was being attacked by men then took me to jail and I find out I’m being charged with a felony now.”
She went on to complain that she suffered from “bruises, black eye, swollen knee, and a felony charge” at the hands of the officer
“They will stop at nothing to tarnish my character. God help us! We need justice,” the judge added.
At a news conference Friday afternoon Peterson’s attorney said the charges against his client should be dropped and called on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to review the case.
“As the investigation continues to unfold and more facts come to light, we believe that Judge Christina Peterson will be completely exonerated of these charges,” lawyer Marvin Arrington Jr. said. “At least two eyewitnesses have stated that Judge Christina Peterson only tried to help Ms. [Alexandria] Love, who was being brutally and viciously attacked by a man outside of the Red Martini nightclub.”
Alexandria Love backed up Peterson at the news conference, claiming the judge “didn’t mean to hit the officer. The officer swooped in and grabbed me up. He didn’t even care to see the big man that was actually brutally hitting me in my face. [Peterson] thought I was still being hurt and attacked,” Love explained.
“I think in the heat of the moment a lot of things happened and maybe the officers got confused,” Arrington stated.
Prior to this arrest, Peterson has been the subject of a judicial misconduct investigation in which she faces 30 charges for allegedly violating the Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Scale is new, purchased two months ago. Purchased the V4 here off a member. Works perfect, moving and need to thin out some things in the reloading room.

Hi, I am a bench rest shooter, hoping to participate in some local match.

And I have a Areopreision Solus Competition 22" 6.5CM chambered, Vortex PST Gen II, Harris bipod, and Area419 Hellfire Match.

So, when I shoot over 600yard paper target, the top and bottom length is 9 inch, 6 inch wide.

Everybody told me that is due to your factory ammo, Horandy 6.5CM 140grs ELDM, and factory barrel.

As you can see, within 100yard and 200 yards, groups are, I THINK, pretty small and tight.

But when it comes to long range, it spread.

and last pic, you see that I just checked hornady 140gr 6.5CM ELDM, and ES was 100, and SD was 25


So, what I am really wanna ask is, what is the next step? What should I do for the better performance

Handloading, one of my friend will give a RCBS press, so I am waiting for that

Custom barrel? I think i need for now, I can swap the custom barrel, So i will go to local gun smith, but

what is the best custom barrel? Proof research's one is not the custom barrel?

NOT ACCEPTABLE- The Management

My question is… do all 91/G3’s do this?

And holy crap does this thing chuck brass a mile or what?! It’s like a lethal secondary projectile. Stuff was, no exaggeration, 25+ feet away!

This is my first HK91. It ain’t no wannabe PTR knockoff. It looks brand new inside and out, all original, with a matching S&B 3-12. It’s a piece or art, but why the hate?

It was LC M80 ball ammo. Included original ammo and photographic evidence of this HK’s crimes against Brassmanity.

Before and after. It literally beat the lip, the side, and the bottom, and scored the case circumference with groove marks.

I literally heard the cases crying and screaming “Why, God?!?!” as they flew through the air.

I recently removed the scope tape I had wrapped my 4-20 ATACR in for this last hunting season and the tape left behind a lot of speckled adhesive residue. I had some GooGone that I was unsuccessful with and was wondering if anyone had success with something else that was still safe for the NF finish? Thanks
