Are people (contractors) really this dumb?

Have work being done on the house through a GC as it is in many areas/different projects. No big deal.

We realize that we need some outdoor flooring re-coated/stained/sealed/whatever in the backyard as well as around the pool where we had new concrete put down after a tree started moving/growing through it. GC calls the contractor he usually uses for floor coatings, they give me a bid and at one point I ask about including my driveway into the bid as well. GC says he's just going to have us deal with each other as its a small and straightforward job and nothing for him to do or put anything into.

Fast forward a few weeks and it still hasn't started due mainly to all the rain we've been getting. In the meantime I tell the flooring guy that we won't do the driveway but to do the pool (most important) and the back patio area.

Get a text from the GC this past Friday that 'sand blasters are coming' Saturday. I'm like...ok, tell them to come in the back and do their thing.

Saturday sandblasting begins on the rear patio floor and after a few hours they're gone. I walk out the side of my house later that afternoon to go somewhere and notice.....the driveway looks to be sandblasted. I look around some more and....the pool area is NOT sand blasted. Right as I am about to call someone this guy that was apparently in charge of the sandblasting hobbles around the corner. I immediately tell him something isn't right and he's like, we did what we were told. Do the back, do NOT touch the pool, do the driveway. Nope...wrong order bud. I KNOW thats wrong because the pool was the A#1 thing that needed to be done and I had mentioned it 30 times.

He immediately starts getting a little tiff'd. I tell him I'll call the guy who called him for sub work on Monday and I guess we'll figure this out. Mind you, I never started with how he's not getting paid, or he fucked up, or any of that. It was - lets just wait and figure it out, it is what it is. He starts talking about 'his invoice' and I'm like...did you not hear what I just said? Plus you're subbed out, I don't want your invoice.

Monday rolls around. I call the main flooring guy and leave a voicemail. An hour later I get a call from....the sandblaster guy again. WTF?

Apparently he went by my house at 130 and I wasn't there. Uhh...for what? He was going to drop his invoice off for me. EL O EL

Who is this stupid?

First of all, I didn't hire you. I don't know you. I didn't schedule you. I haven't signed a single fucking thing.

Second of all, did we not have a conversation Saturday about this and what I was going to fucking do to see about working it out?

Third, who in the fuck in their right mind would pay you off some random ass invoice you drop off?

I'm like, my guy, I left your 'boss' a message. Haven't heard back.

He goes straight into high pressure used car sales pitches like how he needs to be paid for the work he did; yeah, great. It wasnt the work I authorized, so yeah, no.

Again, let me just figure this out in the next day or two with the guy who hired you and we'll get it sorted ok? Jesus. I'm trying to actually work on this with you guys.

He then goes straight to 'it sounds like I'm going to get dicked around on this by you. Im going to come by again with my invoice and if you dont pay it Im adding a 25% late fee and theres going to be problems'.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (breathe) problems? PROBLEMS? what problems you got for me? hahahHAHAHAhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Ok so....I'm trying to figure this bullshit out and still get you paid and your response is to call and try and strong arm, scam and then threaten me? Bold strategy Cotton.

So I just ask....where in our contract does it state anything about that late fee?

I can hear the wheels in his inbred ass turning when he realizes - we never signed a single thing because I was still waiting for the flooring guy to come by, get a deposit, sign a scope of work and pick out stain colors. But he put it off because he was so far behind and it never happened.

We have absolutely ZERO fucking agreement at all, in any form at this point. And this is the route this tard wants to go with me?

Seriously? I could easily just tell everyone to lick my balls at this point and not pay anyone; there is no agreement to anything. Yet I've been the one wanting to figure this out from the get go.

The fuck?

Rifle Scopes NX8 for hunting

Looking at the NX8 for a dedicated hunting scope for shots ranginging from 60 yards to 500 yards. Leaning toward the 4-32 since ive read the 2.5-20 can be finicky(eye box, etc..) Also, sfp will be my choice. Anyone using the nx8 as a dedicated hunting scope or wish you would have went a different route? Plan to purchase this week and hope to validate my choice from those already using one.

Best options for an entry level shooter who wants gear to grow into

I'm a person with lots of M4 experience but very, very limited experience with shooting anything beyond the 300-yard mark. I've done a little bit of long range shooting years past, though I consider myself only about half a step past starting fresh. I'm also a person who believes in buying good gear from the start and growing into it, rather than buying entry level stuff and then replacing it a year or two down the road (go big or go home). I have a Vortex Viper lying around the house somewhere (I don't know which version of it exactly, but I bought it about ten years ago), but I'm looking at getting something a little better for this.

I have an Accuracy International AT308 ordered that I'll hopefully be able to pick up this week sometime, and now I'm looking for a nice scope that I can both learn with and still be happy with five years from now.

Right now my eye is on a Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56, or possibly a Leupold Mk 5HD/Mk6 of one sort or another. I want something effective at the 1000-yard range or beyond (I realize my AT308 may not be perfectly suited for this distance, but I'm sure I'll at some point get something in .338 LM or .300 WM that can manage it better). Something rugged and durable would be ideal, a scope that can take bumps and shakes and even drops without much risk. Something that can be safely carried while attached to a rifle in a soft case in the back of a vehicle or carried on my own back. As far as conditions, it is frequently humid in the non-winter months here so if certain scopes are better at seeing through mirage, that'll be a big plus for them.

I'm a disabled veteran and so I believe I qualify for Nightforce's discount program, and I don't know what other manufacturers offer one. I'm aiming for something in the $2500-$3000 range after any applicable discounts are applied, though I'm willing to go as high as perhaps $3500 if I really have to.

All that said, what should I be looking at?

Gunsmithing Barrel Walking

Probably know the answer to this, but hate junking a good barrel.

Have been shooting a lot the last few weeks and have really noticed my Bartlein M24 6BR barrel stringing vertically. Gun zeros perfect at 100yds and dope has been trued out to 1000 yds, hitting 600yd waterline for MV then 700, 800, 991yd waterlines for BC. Lapua brass, 29.8gr of Varget, berger 109s. Barrel has about 1500 rounds on it, but more in cooler months.

Shooting the last couple matches, several of which where smoking hot (Oklahoma last weekend was 100F+ with little shade). I am finding my barrel stringing vertically through a 10rd stage. For instance, 500 and 545yd stage with 10ea 10" circles from modified prone. Dead center on first, but shots 2-5 string perfectluly vertical and hit target hanger for final 5 shots.

Confirmed similar results out at 900 yds, approximately 0.4mil elevation change at 900yds. This was exaggerated but can be partly explained by mirage.

Plans this week are to heat test by:

1) confirm 0 at 100yds
2) rip off 10 rds at one paster, reload, 10 more at a second paster, and probably a 3rd mag at a 3rd.

Goal is to see if i get repeatable results and max vertical with a smoking hot barrel. Yes, i know this may be a bit hard on thr barrel but my barrels are consumables.

Im thinking I just got 'one of those barrels' because I have not seen this with any of my other Bartleins (not blaming by any means...sometimes you just get them). Any thoughts?
