2/22/1999 was the day Gunny Hathcock passed. Shouldn't we do something here to commemorate? If anyone in the DFW area would like to get together I'm game. Maybe bust out some military rifles and hit the range? Maybe diner and drinks after?

Up for sale is a Steiner t6xi 3-18 with the scr2 reticle. This thing only has about 60-80 rounds through it. My eyes just don’t cooperate with the glass. Optic is mounted in a reptilia 1.54” height mount.

I have all original boxes and paperwork.

Asking $1900 shipped for the combo. I take PayPal, cash app, and Venmo. Items will be shipped UPS insured.

Product can be confirmed with FaceTime call or any other means of ID.

Hello,

My first topic here. I've always lurked but never had anything smart enough to add to conversation.

I am looking at getting a new optic for my 6.5 CM. I saw the threads for the new Leupold MK4HD and thought that it could be good for what I'm doing with the rifle. Now it seems like they aren't going to be readily available for a little while with exception of a few trickling in to places. My job gets me certain perks for optics from Leupold, Steiner and Vortex (along with a couple others). So I started pondering spending a little more money and moving up to a MK5 or a T6Xi from Steiner due to the possibility that it could be awhile before a MK4 was available. I'm looking at something in the 5-30 magnification range. This leaves me with the 5-25 from Leupold or the 5-30 from Steiner (Or the 6-24 in the MK4 if it came available)

The P6xi is roughly $500 more than the MK4, and the MK5 is roughly $200 more than the Steiner. Out of these three, what would you recommend and why? I'm leaning towards the T6Xi due to it being illuminated. My last trip out a shadow cast on the 400y target and I really wish I could have seen the reticle better. And the illuminated MK5 jumps the price up even more.

Forrest was right again. Stupid is as stupid does!

I recently read about an animal known as the sea squirt, that eats its own brain as it progresses to the next stage.

It couldn’t be a better analogy for the DEI and woke mentality.

Here’s another story about the insane “theology” called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion that no one can live up to.

In January, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society forced 90-year-old Fran Itkoff to step down from her volunteer position. Itkoff had served the nonprofit organization for 60 years before being let go for allegedly violating the group’s diversity and inclusion policies.

Her vile anti-diversity act? She was confused about “pronouns.”

In an interview with “Libs of TikTok” creator Chaya Raichik, Itkoff and her daughter, Elle Hamilton, explained that Itkoff’s husband, who had MS, had taken over the Long Beach Lakewood chapter prior to his death.

After his death, Itkoff continued the group, volunteering for a total of 60 years.

Itkoff described an interaction with a representative from the MS Society where she was asked to use her “pronouns.”

Itkoff said she was confused because she didn’t know what that meant.

“I had seen it on a couple of letters that had come in after the person’s name, they had the pronouns. But I didn’t know what that meant,” the 90-year-old said.

When Itkoff was told she was required to write “she/her” after her name to be “all-inclusive,” she still couldn’t understand why.

“Because it sounds like you are labeling for females, not males, if you are just putting in she/her,” she said.

Her daughter, Elle Hamilton, explained that all her mother was trying to do was understand what they were talking about

Anyone who has an older family member and an ounce of compassion would understand that for someone of Itkoff’s generation, the expectation to declare one’s gender identity could be confusing.

But, it seems like the representative at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society had never met an older person or looked at life from another perspective before.

A few days later, Itkoff received an email stating she was being asked to step down from her volunteer role.
According to a screenshot of the email, Itkoff was asked to step down because it had come to their attention that “there has been a failure to abide by our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion guidelines during your time as volunteer.”

UNREAL. National MS Society (@mssociety) forced a 90-year-old volunteer to step down because she wasn’t “inclusive” enough after she asked what pronouns are.
Fran volunteered for 60 years and her late husband had MS.
The @mssociety still hasn’t said a word about this. Don’t… pic.twitter.com/OlXrT2kClQ

Haven’t seen much on the subject - all the boot lickers that paid to play and got a none stamp stamp - is that none stamp still “valid”. Other than the above I haven’t heard much.

The dipshit who titled this, thinks it was a horse. Laughing.

how can this be?

This could be used to start wars or change elections. They could use this to show Biden giving a coherent speech or Trump punching an aide. In the near future video “proof” won’t be reliable.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) is pushing legislation that could prevent churches from protecting themselves with armed security. In the House, this was pushed by Democrat Hank Johnson, who famously suggested that Guam could tip over if too many people were there.

It doesn’t matter how bad crime gets, Democrats continue to push for Americans to be disarmed.

Just last week, there was a shooting at Lakewood Church in Texas.

So now, at a time when more churches are probably considering armed security, Democrats are pushing this. Unreal.

Breitbart News reports:

Senate Democrats Push Bill That Could Prevent Churches From Having Armed Security
Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) is pushing legislation that could prevent churches around the country from using a “security services unit” comprised of concealed carriers in congregations, parishes, etc.
The bill is the Preventing Private Military Act of 2024, and it is co-sponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA).
The text of the bill prohibits “acting as part of or on behalf of a private paramilitary organization and armed with a firearm, explosive or incendiary device, or other dangerous weapon.”
In another portion of the bill, the text provides circumstances that qualify as an action that is prohibited and includes the use of “large capacity ammunition feeding devices,” which is leftist speak for magazines that hold more than ten rounds.

More from Protestia:

Senate Democrats Propose Bill That Would Criminalize Armed Church Security
A recent Lifeway survey of Protestant pastors shows that armed congregants protect more than 50% of protestant churches. While these security arrangements vary in their level of sophistication on a church-by-church basis, nearly the same number of pastors who report the use of armed congregants report that there is an intentional plan in place to prepare for threats posed by an active shooter. Though various state and local laws currently regulate and limit the use of concealed carry weapons by church security teams in various locale, a proposed federal law would criminalize the preparations made by many armed church security teams across the United States.
Sponsored in the U.S. Senate by Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) and cosponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA), the Preventing Private Military Activity Act of 2024 widely defines a paramilitary group as any group of 3 or more persons who function under a command structure as a “security services unit.”

Democrats just keep chipping away at gun rights. They know they can’t overturn the Second Amendment – yet – so they just keep making it more difficult for people to own and use guns for protection.

I know of three that went to Army SF (Green Beret). Just interested to hear your opinions on whatever branch you crossed over to.

I'm finally moving on from the RimX testing. 38 barrels and 25,000+ rounds tested is enough for me. We got some excellent barrel and ammo data on the RimX over the past few yeats and put the RimX through its paces since day 1.

The RimX exceeded my expectations in every way. With its revolutionary bolt design, making headspace not matter, it went against everything we knew about rimfires up until its release. Accuracy blew me away, shooting lot tested ammo @ 50yd into 50rd 0.1 agg and 100yd sub 0.5" 30rd agg.

My RimX is one of my favorite guns to shoot and it's not going anywhere. But I'm done testing barrels for it. Lots of great options out there to choose from. Manzella Precision is putting out some RimX tack drivers right now.

I'm now starting a new Rimfire project to see how much Accuracy and consistency I can pull out of 22lr. And how much more I can pull out compared to my best RimX results.

I picked up a brand new Holeshot 2500x from KSS and I'm putting together a full Rimfire BR rig.

I'm going to have 4 or 5 barrels done for it to test. To start, the first 2 in hand that are going out to be cut are a Mullerworks and Green Mountain. Green Mountains aren't used in the rimfire BR world, but I have a few in the shop so why not have one fitted and see how it compares to the MW, Shilens, and Benchmarks of the world. I'm waiting on a Shilen to arrive thats on order and will have an Ace on the way. I'll have those 2 done later on. Most are shooting 0.900 straight barrels in these setups, some shoot 1.2's but 900 are the norm.. I could only get these straights right now so maybe the next two will be 900's. We will see and test.



Holeshot 2500X
Bix N Andy Comp 2 Stage
Murphy Precision SS 20moa base
Mullerworks 1.2" 8 groove 1-13
Green Mountain 1.2" 6 Groove 1-16
22lr Match Eachus chamber
PWC Randy Owens High stock

Haven't made my mind up on what scope will live on it. I have a whole bunch of lots of Midas, CenterX, R50, RWS Special Match, SK+, and SK RM to test.

Stay tuned....

Intentional so they can ban hunting

The truth is a bitch, when facts are presented. Course when you control the sheep's media,...

Looking to purchase my first 1911 pistol. For the past few years I’ve had my eye on a Springfield TRP. Handled one today at the LGS…as well as a Dan Wesson Valor.

Is there anything else I should be looking at in the $2200 price range? Definitely want full size with front slide serrations.

Currently: I am now using the LE Wilson trimmer followed up by the RCBS trim center to chamfer and debur. Works fine but just so slow.

Upgrade: Looking at possibly a Giraud or maybe just the Tri Way and a cheap bench grinder from Harbor Freight.

Not looking to shell out the money for the Hendo Gen 3 right now as I don’t think I reload quite enough to justify it.

I probably trim up batches of 200-250 at a time. Sometimes it’s just a quick run through a batch of 100 6BR cases.

Focusing on 6BR right now, but do load for 308, 243, 223 and sometimes Grendel.

Just looking for any advice to swing me one way or another. Been using current setup for a long time and ready to upgrade and be done with it. Not upgrade and wish I would’ve spent more. Buy once, cry once.

Thanks!

No reason it will not work again, if they stick together. Same tactic also worked well against a so called to big to fail wireless carrier in early/mid 2K that went tits up because of its we own you attitude. They found out quickly what their contractors were made of & capable of, win pushed.

I may end up regretting selling this but I have the itch for a new project.

Better than average Knights refurb with high FOM and Halo. I have only put about two hours of viewing on the tube looking at the stars and my farm at night. Great image quality but because Oregon doesn't allow nighttime hunting with NV and I have nowhere to shoot LR after dark, I never got around to shooting with it. There is a fine linear scratch on the objective lens coating (as shown in photo) unit came with it and does not affect the image at all. I put on some flat, Krylon but otherwise as received when I bought it. All markings/numbers are visible and were not painted over. For serious inquiries I am happy to mount it up and try to get some good through scope photos.

First of all, sorry to ask such an over-asked question. I am ready to drop by the LGS and make a purchase. My LGS has every "can" except the 22 take-down, which I can order and ship to them.

May I ask those who actually own one or more of these suppressors comment only. Too many opinions just puts me into analysis paralysis.

May I also ask that we stick to this list only, yes I know you have Jane Fonda's 1967 Maglight suppressor and it works better than all other suppressors, its just not info I need.

Here is my list;

22 Take-down-- (I've read it hits blast baffle on 22-ar15's and the rear cap sticks on the barrel, some minor first round pop)

Mask-- ( Research shows they are a marketing co. not a manufacturer and have bad QC along with bad support, little to no FRP)

Occulus-- ( I've read comments it has some FRP, they don't answer the phone!!!)

Nyx Mod2-- ( K-baffles float around no marking, no alignment, POI shift?, open k-baffle design makes a mess of the tube and baffles get stuck, might have powder blasting on blast baffle over time??)

** Checkmate HD-- (Aluminum tube worries me, saw pictures of a blown apart checkmate HD and the tube split by the blast baffle, think this one is a NO-GO!)

The mask always comes up as one of the best and if they had a good reputation and actually made the suppressor and had good QC/support I would just buy it.

I do not see a lot of info on the Tbac -22, but they did answer the phone and answer all my questions. I don't like the fact that the rear cap gets stuck on the barrel. It seems like a well built "can". The Co. seems good as well. They answer the phone.

Nyx-mod 2 is a real unknown, also not much info out there. Seems hard to get apart when dirty and stack has no re-alignment marks or clicks. The open baffle to the tube seems like an "old" design.

The occulus looks great and is built like a tank. I would have preferred a one-piece design but it is a two and not sure if it really matters. Not much info on FRP for this "can".

Continuing to purge stuff. I bought this with the intention of having the reticle changed to grid for $318, but never did. It has just sat. Pristine condition 5-25 mtc ccw locking turrets, msr reticle, illuminated.
No boxes, scope and caps only.
