Firearms Accuracy International laser rifle

For sale, real life laser blaster, well... might as well be a laser weapon of some sort, it's crazy accurate!

Ok, let's rewind a little. Unfortunately for me I must part with my most favorite rifle of all time. This baby is a litteral sex machine, when I take it out on a range day and pull it out of the caes, like magic, braws pop off of every attractive woman in attendence! There is scientific evidence that suggests that more babies are conceived on those days then any other day of the year. People come by and give the thumbs up, or comment on how they wish they could drive a beast such as this. It's a magical gun, and in the right hands it's a 1/4 MOA unicorn, with wings! In average hands and match ammo it still shoots 1/2 MOA, all day, every day, rain or shine. There are few factory rifles in the world that are as consistent or accurate as an Accuracy International, period!

At 900-1000 on a decent day with this amazingly smooth feeding machine, I can call headshot after headshot on a standard IPSC, that's the gun and not me. Load up some match 168 or 175 freedom pills and this baby will sing all the way to 1200 easily, and accurately! I have never tuned a load for it, I can guess you could easily tune for a consistent 1/4 MOA. I have target after target of clover leaf groups shot by this baby from factory ammo.

At this point, I have just too many precision guns, and sadly the family summer trip is not going to pay for itself, so something has to give. I am going to be bummed to see her go but hopefully it goes to the right home.

Purchased on the Hide years ago with two barrels, it had 250 rounds on the current barrel, and I have put nearly 850-900 on it so we would be looking at under 1200 total, barrel has tons of life left, and it's still shooting super fast. If you wanted to switch it out to another barrel, or caliber, an action wrench is included, easy 10-15 minute job.

Specs:

2013 Accuracy International AIAX short action, will accept 6mm, 260, 6.5, and 308 caliber AX, AT-X and AT barrels.
24" 308 barrel, getting 2855 FPS on 168 grain Australian Outback ammo
Duracoated German Army RAL8000, looks super slick, couple of little paint chips here and there but nothing distracting, she looks amazing!
Aftermarket AX target butt plate, vertical, and rotational adjustment
Awesome cheater adjustable butt spike
1x mags included in RAL8000
AAC suppressor ready .30 cal muzzle break
Harris Bipod with PodLock
Spare Hoptic cheek pad
Action wrench
Original Manual
Ultra Mega sex appeal!
Tons of horney women!

Pelican Case not included.
Please note: low ballers will be ignored, as well please no Nigerian Princes.

Asking $3999

Possible trades added for consideration: ZCO, SNB Shorty, Later Gen PVS system.

Thanks for looking!

Gun bill being fast tracked through the senate....

As of right now they have 14 republicans willing to sign on to this bill that is being fast tracked through the senate. It’s 80 pages long. 6 of them have said they will agree to it unless there is public pushback. I didn’t catch the names but if you live in an area where these gents are, I suggest you contact them and tell them your disdain. Otherwise, this will likely pass.

Advice on best way to set this up please

I have experience with AR’s/M4’s from 20 years on active duty, but I’m not an “operator” or a sniper. However, I’ve always been interested in long range shooting and hunting. I shot my first deer with a Savage .308 last year at 38 years old, so I’m behind most of you in knowledge.

I recently got a Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 creed. I have a Vortex 5-25 X 56 EBR-7C MRAD I’d like to put on it. I believe the rings I need are 34mm. I’m a little confused about the best way to mount it. Can someone recommend the parts I’d need? I believe it uses Remington 700 compatible parts. Also, on the break in, is it true that I need to clean the bore after each shot for the first 20 rounds or so? I’m pretty much completely new to bolt action rifles and these kinds of scopes. I’d appreciate any advice you guys can offer. Ultimately I’d like to be able to shoot pigs at around 500 yards or less, and at the range I’d like to work up to 1k.

Best Crossover PRS/Hunting Scope?

So I’m taking a step back from shooting centerfire matches but will be putting together a hunting rifle that I could shoot a one day match here and there with.

Would like to keep the scope under 2k so that cuts out Zco, TT, Khales, Etc.

Would like to be 35 Oz or less, FFP, MRAD, and Illuminated.

So far the only scopes I’ve found that I’m really intrigued by are the Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29 and the NF NX8 4-32. The NF is honestly what I want but I hear horror stories about the eye relief and parallax.

Any other ideas??

Range report, Houston we have a problem.

I went out to shoot my FrankenAR that was actually put together with a bunch of feedback from this forum. A few lanes down we heard an obvious problem. A guy bought some kind of Romanian AK47 and put a can on it and when he fired there was a baffle strike, so he did what anyone would and pulled the trigger a second time which turned the can into a fragmentation device. There was a little blood from his shooting buddy that was struck. The suppressor is obviously screwed, the barrel is ruined as well.

I googled it when I got home and did not realize that AKs were not always concentric and that if you plan on shooting one suppressed it is a good idea to have it checked by a gunsmith.

Thinking about buying a suppressor...have questions

Well fellas I've always wanted a Daniel Defense so I took the plunge and purchased the M4A1 Mil Spec rifle. This is a beautiful weapon and I want it to be my premier rifle. I put a Sig Romeo 4T on it and I also have an Aimpoint Pro. Now I'm thinking about a suppressor, but have never looked into these as I haven't considered it in the past. I assume the first step is applying for a tax stamp? Is the Daniel Defense DD Wave a good suppressor? The reviews seem to think so. Thanks for any guidance on this as I'm a total newb to these.

Crafty nerds, I need you

I have a chess set that I need to protect. My grandmother made this for me 30 years ago(yikes, I’m getting old) and I’ve recently dug it out and started teaching my oldest son. I need to find something to coat the pieces that is clear, so I can still see the details of the pieces, and that will protect the paint from chips. I’ll attach a few pics to show everyone what I’m working with. Any and all ideas will be entertained.

The pieces and board are hollow so I’ll probably fill them with some sort of epoxy or urethane to protect them a bit more and add a bit of weight to them as well

Rifle Scopes Gen 3 Razor vs XTR Pro (Regular Joe, Non biased review).....No Sponsors here.

Just got an XTR Pro. See my other thread comparing it to a regular XTR3 5.5-30x56.

Had to compare it to my Razor Gen 3.

Lots of mirage this afternoon. 77 degrees. Compared for 45 minutes on a tripod side x side. Pictures are not going to do either scope justice, but I'll ad some anyway so you can atleast see the reticle sizes for comparison on different powers.

Quick rundown as far as pros and cons of each scope (for my tastes)

Vortex Razor G3 6-36
Pros.........
side parallax is more forgiving than the Pro.
Awesome Glass (equal to the Pro on all powers....tested mostly 15x,20x,25,30x)

Cons......
Don't love the locking turrets.
Not a huge fan of the reticle


Burris XTR Pro
Pros........
better eyebox than the razor
Awesome glass, on par with Razor G3 on all powers tested 15,20,25,30x (Surprised me, as I thought the Razor would be better)
Elevation Turret is awesome.
SCR 1/4 Mil reticle is perfect for me

Cons......
side parallax is finicky (critical for best picture)
Windage Turret SUCKS
Zoom and parallax on my example are a little gritty compared to the smoothness of the Razor

Here are some pics..........
(Glass Quality Sucks in the pics, but you will get an Idea of the reticle comparisons.)

Any thoughts or expectations/expierence with ESG and your banking/work?

From another Oil and Gas service provider.

I can’t fathom to think of the monsters that hide in the closet with this commie propaganda.

Your thoughts?



Why ESG Topics are Trending in the Oil & Gas Industry

ESG topics are buzzing among oil and gas professionals around the world. With the rise in sustainability and environmental concerns in the energy industry and growing conversations around current and future ESG standards, it is vital that companies are proactive rather than reactive. Implementing SCADA systems has many benefits that provide the proactive approach needed to maintain ESG standards. First, it is important to understand the basis of ESG and how these standards apply to the oil and gas industry.



The Meaning of ESG in the Oil & Gas Industry



ESG is an acronym that stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. ESG standards provide a framework for judging the sustainability and ethicality of an investment. Companies that ignore ESG issues risk being perceived as less desirable investments. Further, regulation of ESG standards is increasing, and proactive ESG standards implementation reduces later compliance burdens.



ESG is especially relevant to oil and gas companies because of the growing pressure on our industry to protect the environment. Below are possible concerns and questions that pertain to the oil and gas industry when it comes to ESG standards.



Environmental - This is the ESG area most impactful to operators. Immediate examples are flaring of natural gas and spills. Fugitive gases at plants and carbon emissions from transportation and compression equipment are other examples.



Social - Employee safety is the most meaningful of these concerns. This area also encompasses human rights and community relationships.



Governance – This encompasses concerns regarding management structure. How are processes and procedures being managed? Are employees receiving adequate support to fulfill their role?



Why ESG is Important to Oil & Gas Companies


The oil and gas industry is inextricably linked to each of the individual elements represented in ESG. The importance of environmental concerns to the industry is obvious. The carbon emissions and energy production of each company may run afoul of regulators and impact how investors view a company. At the same time, communities have a heightened consciousness around social concerns like worker safety and it’s important to act proactively in these areas. Corporate governance is now tasked with developing strategic approaches to each of those concerns, along with an ethical approach to the employee and management structure.

Rather than viewing ESG as an obstacle, many oil and gas companies are beginning to view environmental and social considerations as an opportunity to build value and increase the efficiency of their operations. Evidence indicates that companies that consider and invest in ESG concerns experience a positive return. One specific method of investing in ESG is implementing modern SCADA systems for oil and gas companies.

Wants vs Needs

I was just thinking * that "I need this", not important what it was, when a following thought hit me..."No you dont need it, you want it.".

So I pondered it and,

When you stop to think about, all we really need to live is air, food, water, and a reasonably tolerant climate. Pretty much everything else is something we want., things we have been indoctrinated to believe we 'need'. But that, as the Buddah says, is 'desire' and gets us into trouble. Or a s Christ might have put it, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all else will be added." so we shouldnt really 'want' but trust that our 'needs' will be met. Thats not to say we shouldnt do our assigned work, but just a thought to ponder.

Fight me.

Planet Fitness: if every member came every day, how much would they have to raise their price?

Planet fitness makes it's money on members that don't show up regularly, or show up at all.

If you go every single day, it's costing you 33 cents to access an entire gym of pretty nice equipment for as long as you want. Take a shower there to save the utilities at home, get the free pizza, bagels, and coffee (basically two meals, probably worth $6). It's a fucking deal.

If every member actually went daily, how much, if at all, would Planet Fitness have to raise their price?
