Would bang

New to this forum. I have feedback on ar15.com and theoutdoorstrader under the same username (cookezm).

Have a Knight's PVS-30 in good shape! Low hours, box has "1683" on it so assuming that is the FOM. Sheet says .25 MOA shift however I think it is less than that as I use my daytime holds out to 600 yards (furthest I've taken it). Great unit. Comes with box, case, lens cover, etc. It will also come with an MKMachining focus throw lever.

Looking for $4000 shipped and fully insured. You pick the carrier of your preference, feel free to facetime me with the unit if you want.

A guy I work with is looking at going on his first hunting trip (whitetail) and has asked me for advice on his first rifle purchase.


He wants something he can afford to shoot on a regular basis not just hunting so he automatically leaned towards 308 for some reason. I like a 7-08 myself.

My mind went straight to bergara and I know tikka is a popular one here so I thought of that as well but then I thought about a sig cross.

He's not set on a 308 so caliber choices are open and while the manbun makes sense for a new shooter with ammo selection, availability and being relatively easy to shoot, you just won't catch me recommending it.

He's in his early twenties, started his industrial career as a specialty welder so he's got plenty money.

So let's spend his money. What are you guys recommending?

Darrell Brooks — the man accused of driving his SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, last year — has been convicted on all six counts of first-degree intentional homicide, after a tumultuous trial where the aspiring rap artist represented himself and made a mockery of the proceedings.

Click to expand...

A jury found Brooks guilty Wednesday morning of all 76 charges against him — including reckless endangering safety, hit-and-run involving death, bond jumping, and battery — with each count of homicide carrying a mandatory life sentence in prison. Just days before the parade massacre, Brooks had been released from prison on a mere $1,000 bail thanks to lenient Milwaukee County DA policies. It took the jury a little over three hours to reach its verdict.
Brooks, wearing a suit and tie, quietly leaned his bowed head on folded hands as the verdicts were read. His demeanor was a stark departure from previous days of the trial, when his sometimes outrageous behavior drew rebukes from the judge. He declared himself a “sovereign citizen,” refused to recognize his legal name as his own, and regularly fought with Judge Jennifer Dorow. In the final week of the trial, he piled up boxes of files to hide his face from the court’s cameras. He also tossed his copy of the jury instructions into the garbage.
Brooks drove his Ford Escape into the Christmas parade in Waukesha in suburban Milwaukee on Nov. 21 moments after fleeing a domestic disturbance with his ex-girlfriend, prosecutors said.


Six people were killed, including 8-year-old Jackson Sparks, who was marching in the parade with his baseball team, and three members of the Dancing Grannies, a group of grandmothers that dances in parades. Dozens of other people were hurt, some severely.


The incident deeply scarred the community of 70,000 people about 16 miles (25 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. Community members built memorials to the dead and held vigils. The anger was still evident Wednesday; someone in the gallery yelled “burn in hell” as the verdicts were read.


Brooks pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease this year but withdrew the plea before his trial began with no explanation. Days before the trial started, he dismissed his public defenders, electing to represent himself.


District Attorney Susan Opper called to the stand police officers and paradegoers who testified they saw Brooks behind the wheel of the SUV.


Brooks struggled to mount a defense, launching into meandering cross-examinations, refusing to recognize his own name or the court’s jurisdiction over him, and muttering under his breath that the trial wasn’t fair.


He got into such intense arguments with Judge Jennifer Dorow that several times during the lead-up to jury selection she moved him into another courtroom where he could watch the proceedings via video and she could mute his microphone when he became disruptive.


One day after he was removed to the other courtroom, he stripped off his shirt and sat bare-chested on the defense table with his back to the camera.


Opper told jurors during her closing arguments Tuesday that Brooks’ refusal to stop once he entered the parade route shows he intended to kill people.


Dorow allowed Brooks back into the main courtroom to deliver his closing to jurors face to face. In a rambling, repetitive speech, he tried to raise doubts about whether the SUV’s throttle malfunctioned and whether the driver simply panicked. He lamented how he hasn’t been able to see his children since he was arrested and insisted he’s not a murderer.


Opper countered during her rebuttal that a Wisconsin State Patrol vehicle inspector testified earlier that the SUV was in good working order. She warned jurors that Brooks was just trying to play on their sympathy.

Some say tuners dont work.
Keith trap 2 consecutive sw national champ. And last week . Us finals champ ftr . And he uses a tuner.

Stanley cutsforth 2022 elr season most conservative wins in elr history and took 2nd place at ko2m uses a tuner brake. Perhaps we need larger samples .

I grabbed a couple more 30 cal cans for my bolt guns. I was a fan of mounts but the direct thread cans have won my heart over time. Anybody run these cans and how did they do? I went with Rifles Only HAD covers, they have worked well in the past.

Mods if this belongs elsewhere, please move and advise. Didn't see an NFA section, maybe I'm blind AND DEAF.

And, the more important question; Mil or MOA?

I was perusing the scores from the NSCA National tournament- seeing how my son’s score is stacking up against the field in his class. It’s an unspoken competition amongst the kids on his team, so there are a bunch of scores to look up- across all classes. Anyhoo, a name I generally don’t associate with clays shooting popped up.


And in case you’re wondering, yes the course in the 3rd column is a mofo.

Whether it’s rifles or pistols or shotguns or muzzleloaders, get out from behind the computer and burn some powder. And, good luck to all of the competitors at Nationals. It’s windy AF here today and I’m betting it’s about the same in SA.

New deer hunting rules in Illinois are going to allow the use of straight walled cartridges this year. Catch is that it needs to be a single shot rifle. Planned on going with the 45-70 since I have dies and a lot of ammo already.
Which brings me to my search for a Ruger no. 1 K1-S-BBZ. Which is a stainless 45-70 with a black/grey laminate stock. Can’t seem to locate one anywhere. Figured this would be the best place to ask.

WTF???


If true...

I bear no responsibility if you watch the video in the link.

I was scanning Amazon, the What's New section


Here is #3 on their list,


Happy Holidays

By no means is this any reason to try to break his record BUT if you are inclined you better start early. There's already some competition from India.

You can vote for as few or many as you like. Vote for all, if you want to destroy this highly scientific poll

Like everyone else, trying to see how I can improve my rifle some more. What are the best upgrades or the most useful and bang for your buck?

I currently have:
Tikka T1x stock; Arken Sh4
Bergara B14r in bravo; Burris XTR iii

Both guns stock, only thing changed is the spring on the Tikka T1x. I also have a Bravo for the Tikka but my girlfriend likes the factory stock more.

Other upgrades I was thinking of were barrel tuners and a trigger for the B14r.

Anything else worthwhile or anyone have input on their upgrades for these guns. Let me know!
