While waiting on my wife who was shopping at the dollar store, what comes out....A middle aged woman with a full shopping buggy of toilet paper and paper towels.

Guess the panic has begun. (Grocery shelves were sadly lacking stock today as well).

The insanity continues.
Is Soilent Green in the near future?

Hello Hide Brothers,

Looking for guidance on a quality tripod and mount setup.

Kind regards,
Mike

Has not been fired. Original box, accessories and one magazine included. Sold

I’m looking at putting together a coyote rifle. It’ll be 18-20” barrel to try to keep the weight and length down. (I’ll be running a suppressor) Looking for a cartridge that’ll be effective out to about 400 yards. I’ll be loading for it so factory ammo availability won’t be a issue. Also any recommended bullets and twist rates to go with the cartridge would be appreciated. Thanks.

I stole this idea from Bullfrog08

Building theoretical rifles in my head like I do everyday and it came time to pick a scope. The XTR2 1-8 fits the bill but I know they're discontinued. Off to google I go only to find that neither Burris or Bushnell have anything above the $350 level anymore. What gives?

"Ethical vegans may be exempt from being forced by their employers to be vaccinated because their lifestyle beliefs are protected by law, a legal firm has claimed.


So I guess the rest of us citizens of the USA are just chopped liver?

Used with minor wear marks but In great condition. Rings are included, will not separate. Rings: ARC 36-28

Comes with the box w/ scope cover and bikini lens cover.

$3400 shipped (UPS Insured)

Can anyone identify this scope?

So how long until this infects all corporations and affects your ability to shop for food, gas, medical care, employment? Vaccines are now the scarlet letter for the unvaccinated. The shunning has began with corporations such as shake shack, that will no longer serve customers that are not vaccinated:

Walked into this trade today at local gun show. Sharps 1875 target with a 10x Unertl sitting on top. Scope is pretty clear and exceeds what I expected to look through in one of these. I know the 75 was never a true production gun in the old days but this thing is just pretty, and who wouldn’t like smashing something with a 405 grain cast boolits.

For sale: new Bartlein barrel blank. SS heavy palma contour. Details on specs in photos. Bought for a 6.5 CM re-barrel but ended up selling gun. $300 plus shipping CONUS. PP F&F, venmo, and postal money order accepted.

Vaccine Mandate Protest Letter

No authorship claim or copyright asserted...this letter just came to me in a bottle, and I have no idea who might have penned it, nor can I possibly vouch for it, and what you fine folks do with it is entirely in your own hands, as the Gentlemen of the Bar remind me I can proffer no general legal advice in the matter, and must officially disclaim proffering any such advice here...edit and excise as you see fit, amend and append as you desire, and claim authorship or anonymity as may best befit you...as always, as you wish... Dear Boss, Compelling any employee to take any current Covid-19 vaccine violates federal and state law, and subjects the employer to substantial liability risk, including liability for any injury the employee may suffer from the vaccine. Many employers have reconsidered issuing such a mandate after more fruitful review with legal counsel, insurance providers, and public opinion advisors of the desires of employees and the consuming public. Even the Kaiser Foundation warned of the legal risk in this respect. (https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/key-questions-about-covid-19-vaccine-mandates/) Three key concerns: first, while the vaccine remains unapproved by the CDC and authorized only for emergency use, federal law forbids mandating it, in accordance with the Nuremberg Code of 1947; second, the Americans with Disabilities Act proscribes, punishes and penalizes employers who invasively inquire into their employees' medical status and then treat those employees differently based on their medical status, as the many AIDS related cases of decades ago fully attest; and third, international law, Constitutional law, specific statutes and the common law of torts all forbid conditioning access to employment upon coerced, invasive medical examinations and treatment, unless the employer can fully provide objective, scientifically validated evidence of the threat from the employee and how no practicable alternative could possible suffice to mitigate such supposed public health threat and still perform the necessary essentials of employment. At the outset, consider the "problem" being "solved" by vaccination mandates. The previously infected are better protected than the vaccinated, so why aren't they exempted? Equally, the symptomatic can be self-isolated. Hence, requiring vaccinations only addresses one risk: dangerous or deadly transmission, by the asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic employee, in the employment setting. Yet even government official Mr. Fauci admits, as scientific studies affirm, asymptomatic transmission is exceedingly and "very rare." Indeed, initial data suggests the vaccinated are just as, or even much more, likely to transmit the vaccine as the asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. Hence, the vaccine solves nothing. This evidentiary limitation on any employer's decision making, aside from the legal and insurance risks of forcing vaccinations as a term of employment without any accommodation or even exception for the previously infected (and thus better protected), is the reason most employers wisely refuse to mandate the vaccine. This doesn't even address the arbitrary self-limitation of the pool of talent for the employer: why reduce your own talent pool, when many who refuse invasive inquiries or risky treatment may be amongst your most effective, efficient and profitable employees? First, federal law prohibits any mandate of the Covid-19 vaccines as unlicensed, emergency-use-authorization-only vaccines. Subsection bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) of section 360 of Title 21 of the United States Code, otherwise known as the Emergency Use Authorization section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, demands that everyone give employees the "option to accept or refuse administration" of the Covid-19 vaccine. (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/360bbb-3 ) This right to refuse emergency, experimental vaccines, such as the Covid-19 vaccine, implements the internationally agreed legal requirement of Informed Consent established in the Nuremberg Code of 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/ ). As the Nuremberg Code established, every person must "be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision" for any medical experimental drug, as the Covid-19 vaccine currently is. The Nuremberg Code prohibited even the military from requiring such experimental vaccines. (Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F.Supp.2d 119 (D.D.C. 2003). Second, demanding employees divulge their personal medical information invades their protected right to privacy, and discriminates against them based on their perceived medical status, in contravention of the Americans with Disabilities Act. (42 USC §12112(a).) Indeed, the ADA prohibits employers from invasive inquiries about their medical status, and that includes questions about diseases and treatments for those diseases, such as vaccines. As the EEOC makes clear, an employer can only ask medical information if the employer can prove the medical information is both job-related and necessary for the business. (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/...ance-disability-related-inquiries-and-medical). An employer that treats an individual employee differently based on that employer’s belief the employee’s medical condition impairs the employee is discriminating against that employee based on perceived medical status disability, in contravention of the ADA. The employer must have proof that the employer cannot keep the employee, even with reasonable accommodations, before any adverse action can be taken against the employee. If the employer asserts the employee’s medical status (such as being unvaccinated against a particular disease) precludes employment, then the employer must prove that the employee poses a “safety hazard” that cannot be reduced with a reasonable accommodation. The employer must prove, with objective, scientifically validated evidence, that the employee poses a materially enhanced risk of serious harm that no reasonable accommodation could mitigate. This requires the employee's medical status cause a substantial risk of serious harm, a risk that cannot be reduced by any another means. This is a high, and difficult burden, for employers to meet. Just look at the all prior cases concerning HIV and AIDS, when employers discriminated against employees based on their perceived dangerousness, and ended up paying millions in legal fees, damages and fines. Third, conditioning continued employment upon participating in a medical experiment and demanding disclosure of private, personal medical information, may also create employer liability under other federal and state laws, including HIPAA, FMLA, and applicable state tort law principles, including torts prohibiting and proscribing invasions of privacy and battery. Indeed, any employer mandating a vaccine is liable to their employee for any adverse event suffered by that employee. The CDC records reports of the adverse events already reported to date concerning the current Covid-19 vaccine.(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/vaers.html ) Finally, forced vaccines constitute a form of battery, and the Supreme Court long made clear "no right is more sacred than the right of every individual to the control of their own person, free from all restraint or interference of others." (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/141/250) With Regards, Employee of the Year

PM if interested.

Last summer I bought a set of comp case holders from amazon. They were shipped defective. A sharp bur was present which could damage the case IF you could force it into the holder. Totally useless. I contacted Redding and spoke with a lethargic individual whom instructed that I send them in for repair. He said they knew of the problem as others were calling in. I paid for shipping. Waited almost 4 weeks then finally they arrived. Well, a completely different set. I was pissed. 4 weeks for a warranty exchange plus I paid shipping! Time passes and I quickly let it go.

This time. I was neck sizing 6.5 Lapua and noticed decapping failure. I had a piece of stainless steel media lodged in the base of the case and it destroyed the pin and holder. This was for a comp S bushing die. No replacement part on any of the normal sites. I sent an email at 11:40 on Wednesday PM only to ask for the part number. Friday I found one in my mailbox with a new catalog. That means they overnighted the package. The polarized experiences baffle me, but I am happy. Thank you Redding.

I just got this thing last week and couldn't get to the range due to work and family commitments until today. Didn't prepare well and was in too much of a rush. Didn't bring my tool kit out with me so I couldn't set the zero on my turrets. Was 5 minutes from the range (which is over an hour away from me) before I remembered that I was supposed to try to find some ammo along the way. Anyway, I had a few rounds of .308 with me and I did find a gardening/landscaping shop that had three boxes of FGMM 175 SMKs they could sell me.

First the porn:






Now the real porn:

Temp was around 70 degrees with varying wind direction, 5-7mph with gusts of over 10. All shots done prone, on an Atlas, with a rear-bag I made. It took three shots to zero the rifle, after which I cleaned it, then shot the following 5 shot group as part of break-in. I was trying to put together a decent group, but I rushed through this a bit as I really just wanted to foul/clean the barrel. This was a 1 year old lot of FGMM 175gr SMK that came in a different box than what I bought today. The BC differs from the stuff I bought according to the back of the boxes, but velocities are the same.

5 shots
FGMM 175gr SMK
100 yards
0.408"
0.392 MOA


Finished cleaning, and had three rounds of hand-loaded 185 juggernauts that were the same charge and seating depth from a test-series lot I received last year

3 shots
McCourt Munitions 185 Juggernaut
100 yards
0.228"
0.219 MOA


Next up I pulled out one of the new boxes of FGMM 175gr SMKs I picked up on the way to the range.

3 shots
FGMM 175gr SMK
100 yards
0.149"
0.143 MOA



That was good. I mangled the next group bad with a flyer, bad as in ~0.4 MOA bad. Then I put down this one. Note that the shot above this group, and the shot below this group were two out of the three shots taken to zero the rifle.

3 shots
FGMM 175gr SMK
100 yards
0.120"
0.115 MOA




Lastly, I went on over to the 300 yard line. Took a few rounds to get the come-up, but then took my time and put down this one:

3 shots
FGMM 175gr SMK
300 yards
0.513"
0.164 MOA




Obviously, I'm quite happy (f'n ecstatic is a better term) with the performance here. And I suck. I mean, I had another bolt-action for about a year between 2019 and 2020 and put a few hundred rounds down range, but other than that year, I haven't touched anything larger than a 5.56 or anything at all with a manual bolt since 2001. I read wind like I read French. Hint, I can't read French at all.

Let me know if anyone has any questions. This thing is a hell of a piece of mechanical engineering.
