Hope I’m posting this in the right area, is the $100 Tipton Best vise the crowd favorite? In the market for one and not sure if there’s a better option

Can 2023 top '22, or any of the past couple years?

Will we see global peace, safe streets, falling prices, pleasant weather and lower taxes?

Optimistic? Or will things really go downhill.

Let's hear your prognostications for the "Year of the Water Rabbit"

Wait a minute... water? rabbit?

Hi guys,
I’m newer to the precision rifle world amd after a year with my rem 700 in a McMillan a3-5 I bit the bullet and ordered a zermatt/bighorn origin barreled action from pva, but this is about my scope.
Iv currently got a leupold mark 5hd 5-25 with a pr1 moa reticle. I want to get more into prs style/ tactical shooting and I like the looks of the pr2 reticle, and I want to make the switch to mils. Iv currently got my scope up on the classifieds to trade my pr1 moa for a pr2 mil scope. Should I ,
1. keep it up and hope to find a trade
2. Sell It and buy a used pr2 mil mark 5
3. Buy a used pr2 mil and keep my pr1 moa and build a hunting rig I definitely don’t need but always talked about
Or 4. Sell my mark 5 hd and put the money towards something like a zco 527.

I just don’t know how much I’ll benefit from something like a zco at this point in my shooting “career” and I probably won’t ever try to compete seriously so it’ll all just be for fun/ shtf anyway.

Any suggestions?

A 300 Norma we just finished up. 22" on the stick and it finished out at 9lbs.

Thanks for lookin'.

This will ship to your FFL. No exceptions. If your local to Parker, CO I'll run the background and 4473 for you.

I see @Bender already stepped up in my absence. However that thread just seems to lack everything from horrible stories to people making fun of their plight and horrible life decisions that got them to that point; because let's all be honest, Christmas is the litmus test for just how poorly you've chosen literally everything up until this point.

There is a physical prize I will mail you for worst gift.

A few rules:

- Gift cannot be some dumb bullshit like 'I got nothing' or 'I got chlamydia'; unless it's from another dude because then it's just hilarious

- I have to not hate you.

- Visual aides are both appropriate and desired

- We need the full story so don't just give us a 3 word sentence about socks

- Bonus points if someone went to jail (3x points if it's you)

- Bonus points for partially naked wife/Gf pics.

So far Bender is in the lead because it isn't nice to give someone a fake AR that was made out of the metal from a bunch of kosher sardine cans.

on everything but mainstream media, shocker

Hey everyone, I bought a rifle from a guy yesterday and its a .25-06 700. Ive always wanted this caliber and this one was unique. It has a detachable magazine and nice wood stock with the raised comb. Got it with two mags too! He said it was a “mountain rifle”? Serial number starts with a D. Does anyone know what I got exactly? Value? Thanks

Have heard rumors that Sierra screwed over some of their contract customers, like Black Jack and Tubb, to name a couple. Curious to hear any relevant details confirming the rumors to be true or false. Did they kick these customers to the curb? Causing Blackjack to go out of business. Did they have major production flaws, like shipping incorrect bullets out? I’m a Berger loyalist but have always held Sierra in high regard. Considering dropping Sierra from consideration for any future purchases…

I am looking for an LRF for very short ranges. Mostly to ensure my "100 yard zero" is exactly that, or at least know if I'm off.

I really only need to range 100 yards or so. Not looking for future proofing at all as everything/everywhere I shoot recreationally is known distance.

What are the lowest cost options that will do it accurately?

Sig Kilo 1000? etc?

Thanks all

Rail changer x plate with the cole tac bag. This thing has been used so it’s not perfect. $150 shipped

124 count of 109s 6mm $60

Im looking for an Impact 787R with a full pic rail. If you are looking to save a little weight off your setup. I need the full rail to get the scope further back for my wife to shoot this rifle. My action has 108rds on it and is in prefect condition. We can either swap complete actions (mag bolt face) or just action bodies.

Thanks

Brand new impact NBK SA/ proof carbon 1/8t 22” BA from straight jacket. Waited a long time for it, and just have other plans. Looking to trade for high end glass. Let me know what you got. Will sell for $2400 shipped CONUS.
It’s currently sitting at a local shop waiting to get the barrel ends cerekoted black: if anyone wants more photos I can swing over there and snag more photos. Cheers!

Received a TT Special 2 Stage from my wife for Christmas and installed it on a Bergara B14 BMP (early gen w/the barrel nut if it matters). Installation was straightforward and passed all of the safety checks including drop tests. I have not adjusted it from the factory poundage yet but I’m unable to decock the rifle reliably by holding the trigger to the rear and closing the bolt on an empty chamber. Sometimes it decocks just fine, other times it cocks and functions as if I hadn’t held the trigger to the rear. The one that makes me nervous is every so often it will release the sear and firing pin when I drop the bolt as if I were pulling the trigger, similar to a hammer follow ND.

I’ve read about Bergara’s having a heavy firing pin spring and leading to higher than advertised pull weight but nothing like this. Anyone have a similar experience/fix? Waiting to hear back from TT still.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone got a pocket pistol set up they like and feel is capable? Going to have to start pocket carrying at work instead of 3oclock tucked under dress shirt. Please prefer 9mm or 38/357.

anyone been looking at arfcom general discussion lately? Holy crap that place has been infested with global new order, leftist symps and the like. Shocked to see commentary there on Ukraine, election etc etc

Perhaps @TheGerman can translate, but it seems pretty self explanatory. Im in no way endorsing this, just found it interesting how they justified their disease.

I know this sounds like bubba gunsmithing 101 but can I simply dremel the edges off on these feed ramps a bit. There sharp edges catch the bullet when feeding. If you close the bolt slow the round wont even chamber. Sometimes pushing the bullet into the casing when loading

So can I just open them up a touch knocking the corner down?

This is an upper purchased here a while back. So a parts gun essentially

Everyone else seems to have this under control.

I found a savage 110 in 300 win mag that I can get for cheap an I wondered if that’s an easy gun to rebarrel an build off in general or should I get a rem 700 blueprint rifle

This is pretty damn interesting and scary at the same time. Video of the whole experiment at the bottom. Overcrowding is a killer.




The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of "Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population.
According to Calhoun, the death phase consisted of two stages: the "first death" and "second death." The former was characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence — no desire to mate, raise young or establish a role within society. As time went on, juvenile mortality reached 100% and reproduction reached zero. Among the endangered mice, homosexuality was observed and, at the same time, cannibalism increased, despite the fact that there was plenty of food. Two years after the start of the experiment, the last baby of the colony was born. By 1973, he had killed the last mouse in the Universe 25. John Calhoun repeated the same experiment 25 more times, and each time the result was the same.
Calhoun's scientific work has been used as a model for interpreting social collapse, and his research serves as a focal point for the study of urban sociology.
We are currently witnessing direct parallels in today’s society..weak, feminized men with little to no skills and no protection instincts, and overly agitated and aggressive females with no maternal instincts.

Merry Christmas Hidesters. Looking to buy Vortex Fury 5000 rangefinder binoculars. Anyone have experience with the factory applied balastics? Is it worth the $400 or better option to pass and use extra money for kestrel?
