Hey all,
Just noticed some marks on the outside of my scope tube that are down to bare aluminum. From a cosmetic stand point I could give a rats ass because battle scars for the win! However, should I be concerned about the bare metal from a corrosion stand point, etc? Not trying to over think anything but don't want to ignore a potential problem if I can nip it in the bud. Thanks for the advice.

Title says it all

Also, what solution do you use in your ultra sonic cleaner to get the lead off?

Hey everyone, I have got a hankering for a double barreled shotgun. It would just be used at the range or in the woods. I am looking for any experience (recommendations or warnings) you have. Price would be under $1500ish.

I have tried looking at the cowboy action forum, but it's a jumbled mess.

What I have gleaned is a Stoeger is an ok entry rifle, but those that use it a lot say you tend to have to just throw it away after 4 or 5 years due to various parts breakage.

Cz whitetail is ok, but sometimes Turkish made guns have some issues...

Any experiences you have had would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

The irony here is immense.

This is just a warning to those who (like me) might put too much faith in their cheap Caldwell Ballistic Precision chronograph. You might say "well obviously it's a cheap POS based on the price" but I have trusted it for many years and it was good enough that I didn't really notice a major issue. Maybe others also have this issue with other chronographs as well, I don't have any experience with anything else.

Basically it detects different velocities based on where in the "detection area" I shoot, based on my point of aim. If I aim at a target which goes through the upper portion of the chronograph, that group will show a pretty good SD/ES. I then shoot the same exact load/rifle combo at a different part of the same target, which might go through the lower portion of the chronograph, and that group will also show similar SD/ES BUT a very different average velocity.

For example:
Group 1 shot at top left of target
2555 ft/s AVG
23 STDEV
51 ES

Group 2 shot at middle of target
2600 ft/s AVG
23 STDEV
56 ES

Group 3 shot at bottom right of target
2502 ft/s AVG
12 STDEV
31 ES

Calculating all groups together as one data set
2552 ft/s AVG
47 STDEV
152 ES

You can see that within each group, the SD/ES is pretty consistent. Taking all velocity values of the 3 groups and doing the math as one set of data makes the load look awful. I can shoot 5, 10, or 20 shots at the same point of impact and get similar average velocities. As soon as I change point of aim (bullet crosses chronograph at a different location) I get a shift in velocity.

Waiting for the Caldwell VelociRadar to be released before I decide whether I want one of those or a Labradar.

The Biblical Apocalypse speaks of the war kicking off somewhere in the mid east with armies of thousands and thousands of thousands (millions). The actual phrasing depends upon the version you choose. Some say two hundred million. Consider the article below, and the locations on the map below that. If the Taliban take Afghanistan, and its almost certain they will, they will consolidate their base of operation. They are certainly in sympathy with the million or so Uyghurs the Chinese are abusing not far from them. If they stir up shit in china then the Chinese push westward to stop it, and perhaps even be the next foolish regime to invade Astan it could unite the Islamic peoples against them. Then there is the oil...

So millions headed westward towards the oilfields is certainly going to bring a massive response and the Chinese can field 1,000,000 soldiers.

Things are looking up. Glad Im old and feeble cause I aint going nowhere to fight nobody.

Looking for a project and was thinking of an ultra lightweight AR. Thinking Faxon 14.5" Pencil barrel, titanium parts, carbon fiber handguard. Where I have questions is with the buffer and gas system. Do you need an adjustable gas system? With a lighter bolt do you need a lighter buffer? going to be a carbine stock and carbine gas system, I am looking for a durable light weight bolt? who do you recommend?

Is there a burr or something in my chamber. 6dasher. A team muller barrel. Impact action.
Never noticed it till today. Exact same scratch on every single case.

Hello all,

I have a Tangent Theta 525 on order and I am wondering if a Spuhr SP-4011 will work with the scope or if I should look at a taller mount like the SP-4001.

I know the best answer would be to wait until I have the scope, but it's taken me a long time to save up for it and if like to play with my new toy as soon as it gets here.

Just about every leftist article you read starts by saying that CRT “is difficult to define”. This is a bald faced lie. CRT is as idiotically simple as it is idiotic. Victor Hansen does a good job of explaining that CRT is just plain old racism in a new wrapper, but I think this article captures how insidious it is and how fused with totalitarianism/Marxism it is.

Hi All,
I handload 338 lapua and take great care to make every bullet very precise. However, when I go out to range to test groups, I am never able to keep the back portion of rifle stable enough to my satisfaction. I generally shoot while lying down on a shooting mat. Have tried bench as well but that seems even more unstable. Are there any recommended rear shooting bags or rests that you can recommend? Only need somethign for load development. I think I am stable enough for combat accuracy, but need better stability while testing loads. Maybe it is just my excessive weight and unfit body, but am sure there are better solutions out there which I am not probably aware about. thanks for you time and assistance.

I’ve searched and read what I could find, but I’m still left with a couple of questions regarding trigger install on a Vudoo V22 360:

• Are the trigger pin holes directional? (and if so how are directions identified? i.e. is “right” the ejection port side? or…?)
• Are the trigger pins supplied with a barreled action tapered, and therefore also directional? Or just a slight chamfer on the end that’s supposed to go in first?

I read where the pins are supposed to “slide in”, at least to the trigger assembly, after which you are supposed to tap them the rest of the way in. Mine most-definitely do not “slide in”. I was able to get them barely started with hand pressure: front from the ejection port (“right…?”) side, and rear from the other (“left…?”) side, after which I had to drive them with a brass punch and hammer. I’m hoping I didn’t do something backwards and screw something up.

My Sig Kilo 2000 only hits the steel targets CONSISTENTLY to about 800 yards. Occasionally will hit 900. Never got a reading past that. My local range goes out to a mile in some configurations. 1,400 yards on a regular basis. Looking for a LRF that will range consistently to a mile.

So I was out last night looking at the moon with my spotting scope.
Got a black spec crossing the moon at 9:19pm. View was from Mathis Texas.
Looked at a few websites but I don't see a way to look up history of what went over.
We see satellites all the time here, but this was super cool because it was an accident catching it on video.

I sent the video from my iphone to my computer, but it gets grainey and fuzzy so its not worth putting on here.

Thanks in advance if you can give any help.

Nice to hear him admit this politicizing, fear mongengering, of the pandemic is detrimental to our society. But I don't care much for him. Early on in the pandemic he did his best with trying to prevent the spread of fear. The media quickly jumped his shit for it and he immediately apologized and told everyone to follow what that fraud of a doctor Fauci was telling everyone to do.

This pandemic exposed everyones true colors. It really shows how pathetic our society really is. Terrified of a virus as if its instant death. Yet continue to sit on their fat lazy asses, eating fast food everyday, drinking gallons of soda daily, and smoking a carton a day with no fear of dying from heart disease or cancer. The chinese dictatorship is truly laughing at the world

Apparently - if you won’t get the jab - our government is preparing a very special place for you, and they are hiring “specialists” to work there.

Army National Guard Recruits For ‘Internment’ And ‘Resettlement’ Specialist, Military Documents Lay Out Procedure For ‘Civilian Internees’​

What Is A 'Civilian Internee'?​

“Internment/resettlement specialists are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility,” according to an Army National Guard job posting that touts “A monthly paycheck” as a benefit to being an internment and resettlement specialist.
