Good Shoot?

Middle of the night; dude clearing his house and smokes a black bear (sound only works in full screen for some reason):

i-cjN9HQh-1280.mp4


Thoughts off the top of my head:

Interested in knowing what ammunition he used. Not a big bear, but they’re tough, and usually don’t go down easy.

Nice work on the shooting; looked like good CNS shots right off the bat. Good job. However, less than stellar job clearing the house. If that had been an actual armed intruder, he’d have gotten smoked.

Bonus points for having a sling, but he should have had his support arm through it… much harder to have your weapon taken away from you and used against you. No stone to throw though, he did better than I probably would have done in the middle of the night.

Image stabilized binoculars question

I am looking for some image stabilized binos.
Played with some in a non-firearms class and could have sworn they were Vortex but I am not seeing them on the Vortex web site.
I *think* I am looking for something in the 10-12x and trying to stay under $1k but wanting image stabilized.

Any recommendations for general range use and spotting targets out to 800-1000 yds

Honkey Bucket Augers in due to wokeness

You would think they have learned by now that putting a woke 30 something CEO broad in charge of your American icon is a bad idea.

IMG_0628.jpeg


But not only did it lose a huge portion of its value yesterday during its rebranding and announcement of a pride, initiative, but Cracker Barrel has lost 58% of its stock value since she was appointed in 2023.

This broad must be completely tombed deaf if she has not seen what’s been going on in America the last six months.

She should be removed from her position by the board immediately and terminated.

Remember, it’s a public company so it’s your 401(k) that is eating this.

On the bright side, at least she hasn’t appointed Dylan Mulvaney yet as their spokes faggot.

Other vintage rifle forums? (for son)

I’m not a vintage gun guy, but my son is. He fools around a bit on the Reddit threads but I’ve told him that, by and large, Reddit sucks.

Reddit usernames/posts often wink in and out, and one has a hard time ascertaining the reliability and accuracy of info given there.

➡️ Can you dudes recommend me some good forums out there on post-black powder rifles? I don’t know where else to ask this question and cannot quickly evaluate a forum’s quality.

He likes guns in the Krag .30-40 and 1883 trapdoor Springfield timeframe (the more complicated the loading mech, the better for him lol).

Btw, his interest in this area started via Battlefield 1, the WWI video game. The game is quite fun, and the ammo loading sequences are apparently accurate. Just by playing that game he can manipulate old rifles in the gun stores! He is over 18yrs old, btw.

Our Prosperity is Killing Us. - Better explained than I could

I have been a firm believer for quite some time that our culture and our country as a whole is withering. It is a combination of factors that are rooted to the very prosperity that we worked so hard to achieve. Unfortunately a large part of the human nature bell curve can tend to be greedy and lazy assholes.

I've tried to make my argument for this but my own words always seem to fall short.
FF to a friend posting a link to a Bad Cattitude article about this very thing on Substack. Written as an expansion and reply to The Drunk Republican, I think he says it perfectly.

I copied the text from the article, stripped the pictures and ads out of it and have pasted it below.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FERTILIZING THE MORON FARM

The other day, gatopal™ “the drunk republican” was pointing out one of the odd contradictions of modernity.

1755831805260.png


But i wonder: is this a contradiction at all? I suspect it is not. I suspect it is, in fact, a sort of emergent property from plenty and wealth and the societal and individual incentives that seem to come with them.

Let us explore this emergent stupidity excursion as, like all such phenomenon, this highly complex and varied structure appears as though it may be well explained by only a few simple causal drivers.

Consider the possibility that the advent of moronical modernity finds its roots in a simple tenet of economics:

when, all else equal, the price of something drops, people choose to consume more of it.

the price of being moronical declined and so consumption of this "good" increased.


Pre-enlightenment, people were poor and life had more notable tendencies toward "nasty, brutish, and short."

It was a time full of severe selectors any of which would both cull you from the herd and assure future generations that genes like yours would not be around to commit further foibles.

The price of moronicality on both the individual and the societal levels was severe and rapid. A world near the edge of its structural carrying capacity to support its humans is a world with small margin for error.

Didn’t lay in enough food or firewood this winter? Guess what happens now.


Allow the nature of your society to become inconsistent with human flourishing and supportive of dependence and predation, and guess what happens then?

How many who fell for “communism could totally work if we just get the right people in charge this time!” are no longer with us to fall prey again?

Such calamity used to be near instant. Now it is a slow burn through the sizable fat reserves of the once replete civilizational success that made everyone so comfortable in the first place.


The “plenty” of the post enlightenment removed these penalties . . . even replacing them with welfare state subsidy.

That's how you fertilize a moron farm.

It's also how you drive and enable antisocial behavior and open up a society to conquest and collapse.

Concern about MK22 handguard cracking during first barrel change

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with the Barrett MK22, because I was honestly surprised and think it’s worth discussing.


I own an MK22 with relatively light use (under 200 rounds). Recently, I purchased a 7.62 barrel conversion kit together with the official MK22 armorer’s tool kit directly from Barrett. When I went to install the new barrel for the very first time, using the supplied 140 in-lbs torque limiter and the Torx Plus T30 bit exactly as marked on the receiver, the handguard cracked while tightening to spec.


This was the first time I ever swapped the barrel, using the correct official tools and following the manual step by step. I didn’t expect something like this to happen on a rifle of this quality.


I’m already reaching out to Barrett for warranty support, but I also wanted to post here to see if other MK22 owners have run into similar problems. Even if it’s a rare defect, I think it’s important to share so others know what to look out for.


Has anyone else experienced this, or heard of MK22 handguards cracking during barrel changes?


Thanks for reading.

Work compensation --how would you handle this?

I work in a sub-specialty of tech in a senior management position, with both managerial and engineering responsibilities. It's my first management role and I've been with the company a bit over two years. For later consideration, our niche industry pays better than usual and a significant portion of my total compensation is the performance bonus. We just had our yearly reviews and while I did get a small increase in base salary (basically COL) and an increase over last years bonus (about 5%), I feel like it fell short of the mark (and I'll explain why).

Last year, one of my direct reports was extremely problematic to the point where I had several conversations with my boss (the CTO) and the firm managing partners on how to proceed and handle the situation. It came to a head a bit before review time and it was decided this employee would be let go at the end of the month. Since this employee had been there for some years, the managing partners decided to give additional salary increases to my reports, on top of their performance review increases, in order to keep them happy and entice them to stay.

Well, another team member left for a bigger position at a bigger firm just a few days later. My boss and the managing partners again gave the remaining team members another increase to keep them happy and in hopes they wouldn't bail.

My boss, the CTO, called me into his office and basically explained we needed to keep the remaining guys happy because they'd been there for awhile, were good employees, I was new, and they had knowledge I would need. He also explained that I didn't receive an increase because as senior management my comp is more bonus driven, and he told me explicitly I'd be taken care of on the next bonus.

Well, about two weeks later my boss died, at his desk. Now I'm down 2 guys on my team, and my boss, who had been there 10+ years. My guys were given YET ANOTHER increase, and again, I was not.

Over the next year, I interviewed dozens of candidates to fill my two spots, found them and trained them. I worked with the new CTO to get him up to speed with what he needed to know and helped him understand the intricacies of my side of what we do. During this whole time, I kept multiple major projects on track, finished them, planned and execute a couple more, and overall just made a significant amount of engineering and management progress. I took over, unfucked, planned and executed a project they had stalled on for almost 2 years because the previous staff couldn't get it over the hump and it was dead in the water.

So now, at review time, I was well expecting to be handsomely rewarded for my accomplishments under extraordinary circumstances and I honestly do not feel like I was. As I mentioned, my base only increased about 3.8% and my bonus about 5%. My 3.8% increase, in real terms, is less than what my most junior guy got as a "please don't leave us" increase.

I'm seriously considering going back and asking that my compensation be reviewed with consideration for the circumstances in which my accomplishments were made, and also noting that my team were given raises to stay and I was to be "taken care of" at bonus time.

Am I out of line here? What would you do in this situation?

ETA: While I was conducting review for one of my reports, I said that I really appreciated how he stuck with me through the two guys leaving and CTO passing. My boss (new CTO) even made a comment to the effect of that that was a good point, and he had not considered that. So that again leads me to believe that my unique situation was not fully considered when my compensation was adjusted.

Let's talk budget optics..

It's been a long ass time since I have touched a budget optics last one was in the 90s with a ss10×42m i currently run Nightforce leupold, trijicon and the likes.

I plan on picking up the savage 10 fcp in hs precision stock in 308 when I get back home next week. The rifle will be because nostalgia . My daughter says she wants a ling range rig, but I dint feel like spending 1k-3k on an optic for her for this rifle while I teach her

So please educate me on budget optics currently on the market. I see Arken, dnt, lower end vortex and more out there. All so much going on in the market.

I'd like a 5-25 ffp or similar with illuminated reticle if possible. Prefer a full christmas tree illuminated reticle if possible

SOLD Leupold Mark 5 (5-25x56mm) Illuminated Scope

Selling For: $1,850.00

Leupold Mark 5 (PR1-MIL FFP Reticle)(Illuminated)
I just upgraded to a ZCO scope and do not need this one anymore. I purchased it for my competition rifle and moved it to my hunting rig after I upgraded to a TT. I kept a wrap on the front bell to protect it. It also has the upgraded exposed turret and side windage dial. It’s a great scope and is the illuminated model as well. It sells new for $2,800 plus tax. You will be hard pressed to find one in this nice of shape for this price.

"The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of disaster Capitalism"-Klein. ran across this on Amazon. written awhile back-'08. sounds like a description or expose on what happened in past and is going on in Carolina,Pac Pallisades,Maui,St.Pete beach. in other words disasters caused by nature or sabotage letting the elites grab valuable land for cheap.

just wonder if anyone has read it.

And Yet, Another Rifle Build (yawn)

After 8 months, a new NRL Light Open Build is a reality. 11.3 lbs as it sits on the tripod. This was/is an experiment. Carbon Fiber vs Heavily Fluted barrel for weight. Only 20 rounds through it, but I think it's a keeper. If there's any interest, I'll post the details. 5 shots bore sighting / 5 shots group 1 = 0.76 MOA. 5 shots Groups 2 and 3 as shown. Jury still out on the Leupy scope. Reticle is a little too fine for my eyes. But we'll play around with it.

Tiger stripe vet tape on the scope decreases dispersion / increases accuracy and precision by 33.45%. Or so I'm told by very reliable sources. And yes, this is a bit of a vanity post.
