SHOTshow 2024

Good Afternoon Everyone,

We hope the holidays were good and the food was even better. We hope everyone is keeping themselves warm across the nation, especially the southerners, bless their hearts. I don’t know which is worse the Alabama loss or a dusting of snow. Florida, we don’t care it’s 70.

Mile High Shooting & Accessories is celebrating 20 years in the business, becoming the pillar of one stop shop for all your shooting needs! Additionally, Thunder Beast Arms Corp. is celebrating their 15 years in the industry designing and manufacturing one of, if not the most, successful suppressors companies in the world.

And because of their success they would love to gift their supporters with a collaboration t-shirt!!! Fortunately for you, both booths are right next to each other in Caesars, Mile High is 73005 and Thunder Beast is 72905! Come by, say hey and get a shirt… it’s so simple even a Marine could figure it out.

Feel free to post if your company are doing any kind of promotionals or meet and greets! So we all can take notes and get schedules hashed out! 5 days doesn’t last (thank goodness)!!

(This thread will be punted once the show is done)

Two-stage triggers

Wondering who may have experience with two-stage triggers? I've hunted for years with "tuned" Win 70s, their triggers are excellent for hunting but I've recently started using rifles I DIY built with pre-fits and Trigger Tech triggers. I shoot them well from the bench but not as well as my M70s in the field and I'm wondering if their is any advantage to a two-stage. I tend to shoot more "reactionary" in the field and I'm jerking the trigger more than I'm comfortable with, as compared to the M70s. Any insight would be appreciated.

Looking for insight / feedback - Remington M24, issued or not?

Hi all -

Making this post as @Andrew1182 has suggested. I work for an FFL and I have a customer who is looking to potentially sell us a Remington M24. I am not super familiar with these.

There is a letter claiming that this firearm was issued and has seen combat in a few areas around the world, which I am unsure of how to validate that.

Pictures of this firearm are attached, as is the 'letter' claiming to confirm the legitimacy of this firearm being issued.

Was this issued or no? And if not, what would the value of this firearm be?

Appreciate any insight, thank you!

What I Get for Running My Mouth - XTR Pro Issues *Received back**

Well, after bragging on my Burris XTR Pro about it being problem free (albeit that I didn't exactly have a ton of rounds through it), it will now not dial back to zero .:LOL:

I have no clue what is going on, but I took the dials off and the only thing that appeared off was that my little zero stop -4 brass triangle screw had backed out a tad. BUT when I tightened it down (1/2 turn) and tried getting it to work again, I lost another .3mils of downward travel and it sounded like I was trying to grind sand. Previously it was sitting at 3.7 from my last little attempt at 655 with my 6gt. When I tried to dial back to my 100 yard zero it came to a grinding halt at .9. Zero hard use...most abuse it saw was the massive recoil of a 6.5CM (with brake). Mount is a Badger Condition 1 Max that was not ham-fisted by a gorilla.

Shit happens. Info sent to Burris. We shall see how this experience goes. Regardless, I'd feel dishonest NOT to disclose this situation after flapping my gums so much over the past few months. I will update when I know more.

Rough looking lands and groves.

What do guys think of this? Pics are of a 308 factory barrel on a bolt gun that I've had for a while and have put about 7 or 8 hundred rounds though it.

I was cleaning it the other day and thought I would try out the bore scope. Wish I hadn't.

I've always struggled with this rifle.

Any one seen one this before?

Jimmy Stewart.

Retired a Brig. General.

DID YOU KNOW......
For all the fans of “It’s A Wonderful Life” and Jimmy Stewart . . .
Just months after winning his 1941 Academy Award for best actor in “The Philadelphia Story,” Jimmy Stewart, one of the best-known actors of the day, left Hollywood and joined the US Army. He was the first big-name movie star to enlist in World War II.
An accomplished private pilot, the 33-year-old Hollywood icon became a US Army Air Force aviator, earning his 2nd Lieutenant commission in early 1942. With his celebrity status and huge popularity with the American public, he was assigned to starring in recruiting films, attending rallies, and training younger pilots.
Stewart, however, wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to fly combat missions in Europe, not spend time in a stateside training command. By 1944, frustrated and feeling the war was passing him by, he asked his commanding officer to transfer him to a unit deploying to Europe. His request was reluctantly granted.
Stewart, now a Captain, was sent to England, where he spent the next 18 months flying B-24 Liberator bombers over Germany. Throughout his time overseas, the US Army Air Corps' top brass had tried to keep the popular movie star from flying over enemy territory. But Stewart would hear nothing of it.
Determined to lead by example, he bucked the system, assigning himself to every combat mission he could. By the end of the war he was one of the most respected and decorated pilots in his unit.
But his wartime service came at a high personal price.
In the final months of WWII he was grounded
for being “flak happy,” today called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). When he returned to the US in August 1945, Stewart was a changed man. He had lost so much weight that he looked sickly. He rarely slept, and when he did he had nightmares of planes exploding and men falling through the air screaming (in one mission alone his unit had lost 13 planes and 130 men, most of whom he knew personally).
He was depressed, couldn’t focus, and refused to talk to anyone about his war experiences. His acting career was all but over. As one of Stewart's biographers put it,
“Every decision he made [during the war] was going to preserve life or cost lives. He took back to Hollywood all the stress that he had built up.”
In 1946 he got his break. He took the role of George Bailey, the suicidal father in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ The rest is history.
Actors and crew of the set realized that in many of the disturbing scenes of George Bailey unraveling in front of his family, Stewart wasn’t acting. His PTSD was being captured on filmed for potentially millions to see. But despite Stewart's inner turmoil, making the movie was therapeutic for the combat veteran. He would go on to become one of the most accomplished and loved actors in American history.
When asked in 1941 why he wanted to leave his acting career to fly combat missions over Nazi Germany, he said,
“This country's conscience is bigger than all the studios in Hollywood put together, and the time will come when we'll have to fight.”
This Christmas season, as many of us watch the classic Christmas film, ‘It’s A Wonderful Life,’ it’s also a fitting time to remember the sacrifices of Jimmy Stewart and all the men who gave up so much to serve their country during wartime. We will always remember you!
Postscript:
While fighting in Europe, Stewart's Oscar statue was proudly displayed in his father’s Pennsylvania hardware store. Throughout his life, the beloved actor always said his father, a World War I veteran, was the person who had made the biggest impact on him.
Jimmy Stewart was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1985 and died in 1997 at the age of 89.
