Lanyard beads for knives

Hi!! Anyone got suggestions for unique lanyard beads for knives? I’m not talking about the usual mass-produced stuff—looking for something with personality or a bit of craftsmanship behind it. Animal heads, Norse themes, steampunk styles, anything that stands out without being too bulky. I’ve seen some cool pieces in bronze and titanium, but prices are all over the place. Are there any small makers or hidden gems out there worth checking out? I’d love to add something original to my EDC setup that’s both functional and a conversation starter.
Thanks for any suggestions

Did you know that if someone waves at you and you don’t wave back

They can assault you , point a gun at you and charge you with DUI and assault ?

The victim didn’t know of this obscure law either , And thought he was being robbed and kidnapped.

Note all the serious crimes against this guy were dropped , except the traffic violation that there is no evidence of AFTER the video of the insane mass murder chief of police road raging on someone .

One of the charges was of course DUI- I have hard time believing they’d drop that charge if there is any evidence of that what so ever .

So long, Norm!

George Wendt died today. His lines, and Cliff were the only funny thing about "Cheers". I was a kid in the 80's and two Norm lines stick out for me.

"What are you up to Norm?"
"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."

"How's it going Norm?"
"It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing milk bone underwear. "


Scope clarity question

Hey guys, I ended up ordering a zero MOA scope mount for my setup. I have a Arken ep5. It has 110 mils of adjustment and on my AR-10 308 it would dial to about a thousand which works just fine for me. After you guys taught me that it would be more clear with a 20 MOA Mount since it would be in the center of the lens more, I decided to send this mount back and get the 20 MOA version. I now have a hunch they don't make that 20 moa version, although I'm still trying to confirm. Just curious if they don't have what I'm looking for, how much of a difference are we talking? Do you think a 20 moa mount would be quite noticeably more clear with this scope at range? Or is it more like, 'Yeah I think maybe it's a bit more clear, maybe'? Obviously what I'm getting at is if this is a huge deal I'll definitely change my plan to get something better. But if it's more technically clear but not so noticeably clear I'll probably just keep what I have.

Just trying to gauge how big a deal this is for the effort.

Do you guys have any insight for me?

Thanks as always for the help!

Families In Need - Lost Everything

First off, if this is not allowed, I truly do apologize. I don't even know if this would be the correct place to ask this if it is allowed. On May 16th, a EF3/4 tornado ripped through the small Kentucky town I call home, which is London / Laurel County. The death toll right now stands at 23 with rescue efforts still going on. Over 1500 homes where damaged or destroyed. Two of the families I personally know lost everything they had. These are both young couples just starting their lives together. All they came away with was the shirts on their backs and what they were able to save is more than likely ruined or unusable. But the most important thing is they are alive. One member in each of these families are school teachers who work to guide kids on the right path every day and they are also athletic coaches, helping kids even more.

I can 100 percent for certain say the people I have met and became friends with in the shooting community are second to none when it comes to top notch individuals willing to help one another. So with that, I am posting this in an effort to help these two families rebuild and continue their lives together. I have already donated to both of them and am still trying to do more. It is not uncommon for many of us to shell out thousands of dollars for rifles, optics and the components to make them go bang each and every day without thinking about it. And I am not on here asking for anyone to donate thousands of dollars. I'm just asking as a community, if you could find it in you to try and help these two couples with anything no matter how big or how small, it would go a long way in helping them get back on their feet. Again, the reason I am reaching out to the shooting community is because I know first hand the kind of good people that is contains.

Below I have posted some images from another family member highlighting what they went through along with their Venmo account information. Anything you are willing to give if you choose to do so will be a blessing to each one of them. If you decide to give, PLEASE BEWARE, the scammers have already put their plans in motion by creating fake Venmo accounts using the same images of these people. The legit Venmo accounts are shown in the images. If the Venmo account is not the one shown in any of these images, it is a scammer who I'd love to get my &*&$^% hands on.

Again, if your willing to help these young kids start over, that is great. If not, please pray for them and our town as we are in the path for another round of possible tornados later this evening. Thank you for your time.

UPDATE: THESE VENMO ACCOUNTS ARE TWO DIFFERENT COUPLES. JD AND AMERAH TAYLOR ARE ONE COUPLE WHILE JOSH SMITH AND HIS WIFE ARE THE OTHER. ANY DONATIONS CAN GO TO EITHER JD & AMERAH OR IT CAN GO TO JOSH AND HIS WIFE. YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH ONE IF ANYONE DECIDES TO DONATE. WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD DONATE TO BOTH EQUALLY BUT WHATEVER YOU DECIDE IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks again.

First Remington 700 build..

I might be answering my own question but here we go..

I mostly shoot rimfire for the fun of it and NRL/PRS match when I can. I’ve Been wanting to build a centerfire rifle for awhile now and ran across a barely used Remington 700 .308 25?inch barrel in a Boyd stock and a Nikon hunting scope for 500$ “RR” in the serial from what I’ve gathered it’s a pre 2020 700..

I have a range that goes to 1100yards and would like to eventually to shoot there.
That being said am I wasting time having the action blueprinted and rebarreled along with chassis etc? Or just buy a custom action and build a 6GT and keep the .308 put a middle of road scope and triggertech for playin around with?

Help me pick a scope...

I'm looking for the best glass I can find in the $1500 range. Preferably in a 5-25 setup...or something close to that range. I'm going down the rabbit hole way too much and need some help. I've looked at

Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22
Leupold Mk4 & Mk5
Athlon Cronus
Element Nexus
Zeiss LRP S3 (used one)...
Meopta Optika 6
Anything else in that price range that would offer better glass?

It will go on a Tikka T3 Tac A1 6.5 Creedmoor that will be used to get out to about 1000 yards or so, with some occasional deer hunting from a blind. Any help is greatly appreciated. My eyes aren't the best in the world so glass quality is preference.

EDIT: How does the NightForce SHV 4-14x50 F1 compare to these? Not quite as much magnification as I was looking for but would it be a better optic? I've heard nothing but great things about NightForce.

Load development struggles

I’ve been working up this load for 300 Norma, AXSR rifle, 27” Bartlein barrel, first time with a magnum, and reached a point where I’m looking for suggestions.
Started with new Lapua brass sized for .002 neck tension, 230 A-Tips .050 from lands, 9 1/2M primers and H-1000.

I did a powder charge test from 82.1-85.1 in .6 gr increments OCW style, ascending order, 3 rounds each total. Stopped at 84.5 because it was flattening the primers pretty hard by then. Went from about 2900 fps up to 2980 fps. Best groups and ES were at 82.1 and 84.5.

I loaded up five rounds each of 82.1 at .030, .050 and .070 from the lands and fired them in the same ascending order style and got these results.

Loaded up 10 rounds at 82.1/.070 to see if I could confirm it and it looked like this.
IMG_9457.jpeg

Decided to test the same load again to see if this was me and to check neck tension results so I loaded up ten each at .002 and .003 neck tension and got these results. ES at .002 was 21 and at .003 was 49.
IMG_9458.jpeg

I shot every test at the same range, same time of day, nearly identical conditions prone on a bipod with a rear bag. My 215 Berger load I did is pretty consistently .5 MOA but this 230 load after that one outlier seating depth group is closer to 1 MOA.

Looking for some outside input. Time to change powders? Drop the charge a little?
Repeat a previous test?
What say y’all?
