Opinions on Rem700 sps tactical 308

Looking at possibly picking this rifle up, never had a Remington but with the blind, thinking it might be a good deer rifle?
I’ve got a tikka Ctr 308 16” but it’s gotten heavy wjth the krg chassis and enclosed forend.

I was eyeing the river American in 308, but I’ve got a chance to grab this Remington with a weaver tactical 3-15, and a dead air brake that I’ll need anyways for around $1k. It’s in a greenish hogue stock

Accessories I just got scammed by STRSAM

So this guy post an ad yesterday about the Dbal A3 for sale.
I sent him an offer of 950, talked to him, he said he ok with 950 if I sent payment by zelle right away that night. I asked for his number, he said his number got problem, then provided me his zelle’s email.
I checked his profile, he got 100% rating and member since 2008, so I wouldn’t be hesitated at all. However, after sent 950, my bank said they need additional review. I asked him, the guy said he got somethiing wrong with his zelle, he will send me the refund, then asked if I can send again to his friend’s zelle. But I said let wait until the morning and see what going on.
When I woke up, 950 already taken from my bank. Talked to him again and thing getting suspicious. Ask him what’s happened then he went quiet, no response.
He already block me from seeing his profile, also he deleted his ad.
Talked to Chase this morning, but they said chance to get my money back is not guaranteed.
What concerned me is his profile has 100% rating and he’s like senior of the forum with lot of posts and feedbacks.
Just can’t believe I got scammed by 100% rating member.
Just be careful guys.
I also included the conversation between me and him so you guys can judge.

Is this a “thing” …. ?

Ok. So I used specific powders for specific loads…. Go figure, right?! I typically buy a few single pound bottles of powder at a time… But I’m sure as others have found there can be consistency issues bw batches and bottles of the same powder. So …. My thought is why not mix them all up? Dump them into the same tub and mix it up to make them more consistent? Is that a thing people do?

Accessories PSA: PayPal F&F no longer free for Business accounts

Looks like as of July 1, 2022 PayPal is charging fees on F&F transactions.... if sending money to users with a Business account. Many, including myself, did not seen this news.

Given how popular sending funds via PayPal F&F is on the Hide, everyone should confirm / disclose in their PX listing if they are using Business or Personal accounts so there is no confusion.

Maggie’s truck buying

So I am going to be in the market for a truck soon. I am returning after a 10 month deployment and sold my Ram before I left. I have been at sea so pretty out of touch with the market. Obviously some internet some times, but is the market still completely crazy? I heard rumor that Chevy and Ford were forced to stop truck production until they met some B.S. EV quota?

Any thought or advice to current trends in the pick-up world would be appreciated.
Ideally I want a 3/4 or 1 ton, I live on a little acreage and have projects to get back to and if I can find the right truck it will be with me a while. I am looking to retire from the military and don't plan to buy again for a while.

thanks,
chaps

SOLD LNIB Impact 737R Action

Pretty much brand new Impact 737R standard bolt face. I say pretty much as I did spend an evening or two cycling the bolt so it’s not technically brand new anymore. It is cut for AW mags which allows for the use of AW or AICS mags interchangably. Serial number is taped just so that there is not a permanent history of it on the internet. I am completely open to a phone call for serious buyers before hand to make sure I’m legit. I have two of these actions right now and going a different direction with a project hence selling one. $1275 to your FFL.

We NEED this

A decent "get together".
Yea it'd be kewl to have it at some rifle range somewhere.
I'm all up into shooting shit as I'm sure most of you guys are.
But, it doesn't have to be that....a bar-b-que would be kewl too.
If anyone can come up with a vertical grill, I would be more than happy to do some donor kebab, the right way.
Just imagine 30 lbs of beef on a vertical rotisserie. Full on mediteranian spices, pitas, tahini, tzatziki, veggies, the whole shebang.
We could even say shit to each other we are afraid of saying online.
Whaddaya say guys, is anyone up to it ?
I mean it's a bar-b-que, nothing intended, nothing implied.
Gimme some input lads.

China the enemy within

Daily wire got some really good content. Recent watch was about China waging basically a cold war with the US. Stuff that happened before i was born of i otherwise would have never known. From spies in Dianne Feinstein's office for 20 years why she oversaw the committee granting China preferred trading status. To many arrests from Top Collegiate professors (MIT, Harvard) being arrested for selling research and technology information.

Proof or WOA for 223 SPR/Varmint 20" 1:8 Barrel?

Building a Prairie Dog slayer/long range 223 and deciding between a 20" 1:8 heavier profile barrel to run.

Had decided on WOA but they only have a 22" in stock right now and I kinda settled on a 20 since I shoot suppressed and velocity difference is about 40-60 fps between the two.

Which would you choose? $330 for the WOA and $440 for the Proof.

Also - would you go varmint profile or SPR/Predator profile if shooting dogs is on the menu?

Screw your assault weapons, I have...

... a SIEGE weapon.

My late dad and I built this twenty years ago for school. Yes, school. Elementary school. We built a fully-functioning ten-foot-tall siege engine for my fifth grade science class' trebuchet contest. And brought it on campus to let it hurl lead fishing weights tied to lengths of cord fifty-plus feet across the practice fields.
