Im looking to get access to the 600 yard range at my club. Im pretty new to this type of shooting and you have to qualify on it, so i want to get used to the rifle im using before I go to get qualified. What rifle and caliber would people reccommend to get started with? I dont really have a budget.

And it's out in exquisite detail for all to see!

I've had to plant my fucking ass on my recliner for over a week after having cataract surgery on both eyes. Had my last surgery yesterday. All I've been able to do is read (with a pair of cheaters) because I was told not to drive and absolutely NO SHOOTING a centerfire rifle (recoil) until the post-op exam visit next week. All that has to do with keeping my new astigmatism eye lens implants from moving around until healed.

Today I ran into this gem (video below) posted by a guy on a YT channel called "Legal AF" The meaning of AF is being debated but it I'm going with "As Fuck".

Anyway, I did all the legwork so you don't have to. The site is a part of an outfit out somewhere around New York called "MeidasTouch" and is "an American progressive media company. The network describes itself as doing 'pro-democracy' journalism" and was started to run lawfare " attacks on Trump during his first run for President in the 2020 election cycle.

Here's the video (2:37 seconds):

Here is a link to some information that the Gun Owners of America produced. At the end of the article is a linked request to sign a e-letter to your senators. You will have the ability to edit the letter. And, of course, after submitting the letter GOA will ask for a donation. You don't have to give a donation but I did anyway. GOA has never backed down with fighting for our 2A rights. A small donation is the least we can do for an organization that doesn't compromise.

Basically like an LWRCi Six8 receiver set with some more features, ambi controls, fed with new 6mm ARC/6.5 Grendel/338 ARC PMAGs.

The receivers on these are larger in the magazine well area in both width and length, but still AR-15 sized overall in form factor for the carbine.

This will basically open up a new ecosystem of AR-15 receivers and magazines around the Grendel/ARC family of cartridges.

Should be cool to see what they’ve done with the bolt and barrel extension.

Looks like a Tesla Mega Battery Storage Facility caught fire.

Asked this question on a other forum, and got a plethora of answers, all seem justifiable from 52 grain to 80. just curious what the thoughts over here are from this crowd more geared towards PRS.

Gathering parts for a 223 rem bolt action build.
Just wondering what bullet you fellas would use for shooting between 1-300 yards?
I was thinking a 9 twist and bullets from 55 to 73, but alot of folks seem to think the lighter ones will get blown around too much.

Just shooting for smallest groups possible and plinking. 80 percent of my shooting will be down from 1-200 yards. Absolute max of 300.

Edit: 20-24 inch barrel paper and steel


Thanks fellas

I am about to put glass on an HK MR762 and I am looking at 3 options. Looking for actual user experience.

1 - Vortex Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6
2 - Trijicon Credo HX
3 - Nightforce ATACR 1-8

Not crazy about the FOV on the NF but I am a big fan of unlimited eye relief

Opinions please.

I have an Aero Solus action and I have have both standard and magnum bolts heads. I currently shoot 308 6 and 6.5 creed.

I have access to a range to 1700 yards.

Give the fact that a lot of the reloader powders are unobtainable almost and the limited ability to load long heavy bc bullets (mag feed preferred)

Should I venture into a 7 Saum or 6.5 prc in a short action

Or

Sell the bolt face and just get a long action?

Uses hunting and long range

Nightforce ATACR 5-25 MIl-C FFP F1. In good condition and no issues pre-paint. Misplaced the box so it will come in an ATACR 7-35 box with the accessories. Asking $2000 ***SOLD***

Manners NIGHT STALKER
Rem 700 & Clones SHORT Action Inlet
Proof Sendero Barrel Channel Inlet
Micro Chassis (for M5 bottom metal)

Ordered this thing in November for a build and it finally showed up. Don't need it anymore.

Today, EOTECH makes the impossible possible with the introduction of the Vudu 3-9x32 Super Short rifle scope. Measuring just 6.8" in length, this remarkably compact scope delivers exceptional clarity, versatility and is perfectly suited for ARs, shotguns, bolt-action rifles, and carbines. EOTECH has pushed the boundaries of what a variable-power scope can achieve. Arriving at dealers in Q1 2025.

Just saw it's being reported the Chinese made drones with the Fly Safe System that incapacitates a drone when entering a no fly zone has now been shut off. It will be up to the operator to know where he's flying it. So now Chinese made drones (is there any others? ) will be able to fly unimpeded over airports , stadiums, and more importantly, guess where? Over the White House and even more importantly over the inauguration Monday. What's the odds of this happening right now? The system has been in place since 2015. A drone collided with a Canadian super scooper fighting fires just a few days ago. Thoughts?

I haven’t seen a formal thread for this yet and figured I’d start this.

We all know that Holosun announced the IRIS last year at SHOT24, which is their VSCEL-based laser unit. It took a full year to make it happen, but they finally released it and started shipping as of last week. I previously had and used their LS321G until I sold it to fund the IRIS.

I received my unit yesterday from SRS Tactical. It truly lives up to all the hype and I believe it’s going to absolutely shake up the industry based on its size, performance, and cost. It’s comical how good it is for $899 out the door.






I have not seen a product like this that will instantaneously cause most civilians to immediately start buying it and trying to likely sell their older civ powered LAMs. I would imagine even the LE/Mil crowd will have a hard time dismissing it, since it’ll be even cheaper per unit for them.

4MR Ranch released his initial overview and thoughts on it this week. Hop did the same for his SubscribeStar members.

Lastly, Holosun announced their IRIS-1, 2, and 4 today on IG as well. These look like they’ll be replacing their LS117, LS221, and LS420 series LAMs.

The IRIS-4 in particular looks to be a 4 in 1 unit with 1000 lumens, VSCEL Illuminator, and for $999 street. That is pretty dang incredible as well for the money.

I have to say I’m pretty amazed at this. The last product to obliterate all competitors and older models looks like the Garmin Xero Chronograph.

What do you all think?

Used but not abused, in its original box. The glass is flawless without a hint of a mark or a swirl. Included the ARD and brand new Tenebraex caps front and rear. Also, a Switchview throw lever. $3000 shipped fully insured. Feel free to PM and I’ll send pictures to prove owneership. Thank you

I’m currently looking at getting a new bolt action rifle that will be used for an upcoming Elk hunt as well as some long range shooting and It’ll be in 300 Win Mag.

I’ve been doing a bunch of research and have nixed the Weatherby Vanguard, Remington 700 BDL, Howa 1500 and Winchester 70. So many things to look at that it makes your head spin. All were so close that it came down to personal preferences.

From the research I narrowed my choices down to the Mesa and T3X. Here I’m stuck as they both have very good pluses. The Tikka is cheaper by a few hundred but not enough to be the deciding factor.

Anyone have any opinion on these two? Appreciate it!

Probably been answered. Probably is opinion. But u noticed the 4-20 say on the bottom "designed, assembled in usa with usa and global componets" or something along those lines.

The 7-35 just says "made in japan". If this were 1970 I'd say hands down the 4-20 is better. Now a days I'm guessing most will say same quality? What do the others say? 4-16 and 5-25?

Howdy Hide,

Tonight I'd like to discuss movies, particularly movies that strike some sort of internal chord for one reason or another. To clarify- I'm not personally interested in your "all-time" favorite movie, nor am I personally interested in discussing the one of the better movies you've seen recently that stood above the recent crap that's been coming out. Rather I'm talking about movies that either have a theme or plot that for one reason or another resonates within you for one reason or another. The good news is you don't have to share why it stands out to you personally but I'd request you identify the movie and what part of the plot or what scene made it memorable to you.

Hopefully I'm able to keep this post less "wordy" than the last one I started.

For me- I'm a bit of a sucker for powerful monologues. Don't know why but I personally love when the movie is over and there's a particular part of the dialogue that stays with me and causes me to dwell on what was said. So having explained that- to start this thread off, I'll share one of those movies that "checks" said boxes...

"Good Will Hunting"

As mentioned, I too will refrain from delving into the "why" it is on the top of my list but suffice to say (as alluded to) it is related to the monologues & plot contained in that movie.

It's a shame (in my opinion/per my preferences) that we don't tend to see these type of movies made anymore.

As a "bonus" movie, I'll also throw in a personal appreciation of the flick "Secondhand Lions".

Any thoughts on the topic?

Which one is better: Size or Capacity? Will you run out of ammo during a pit bull attack? Cuz sometimes there are two pit bulls.

This has been my backup rimfire optic and has seen far too little use. Functions as expected and has no mechanical issues of any sort to call out. Glass is pristine.

Sale includes original box with ARD, TT lens caps, and manual. Listing is for the scope only. Mount and level are not included.

FIRM Price $3,545 tyd Paypal FF, Venmo, Zelle

Only trade is for the same scope with a JTAC reticle + cash on my end.

So I own a sawmill and will be adding a third chainsaw to my stable. I have a stihl MS260 with an 18" bar, along with an echo cs620p with 24" and 27" bars. I will be going echo because I don't really like the stihl since they've changed their carburation (I hate the whole green push) plus they've gotten prohibitively expensive for IMO not much more quality.

The 260 is my all-arounder, and the 620p is my felling saw. I'm trying to decide between a CS501p (basically another MS260) or maybe something lighter, like a CS2511P or even CS2511T. I've also thought about selling the 620 and getting a loop handle model, but that's an aside.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Often the subject of science fiction & having no notable accolades as a scientist myself, a frequently discussed topic has been cracked by my POV (and without any help from anyone of the user base here either).

Full disclosure- thus far the Time Machine only goes backwards but I'm still working on that. But here's my research...

In order of sequence of what can literally transport one decades in the past...

Sight- our environment is constantly changing. Be observant... the smallest thing will bring you back to childhood.

Touch- Don't underestimate this, folks of a certain age will understand where I'm going here... shag carpets...where are you at after reading that? Dollars to donuts if that resonates with you- you can pinpoint a very specific year.

Taste- Oh boy we better strap in at this point- the stories I could tell which for one reason or another could never be replicated except in the past... Promise you that regardless of what your opinion of me is- you grew up with a certain dish that a certain family member made and for whatever reason it stood out to you/was unique and said family member is likely no longer with you. Guarantee it'll bring you back to a different time.

Sound- I'm not referencing your "top 20" type of music, rather I'm talking about the "other" music. This one is amongst the most powerful transporter for time travel. These are the songs/background noise from one's past when milestones were met. This is the fuel to transport one back decades but still not the strongest element in what I've discovered.

Smell- that's right, smell. That's my #1 fuel in my Time Machine and above all else. I don't care if you're 60+ years old something like the smell of a campfire will instantly transport you back 50+ years ago in cub scouts in a part of your brain that just isn't accessed any other way.
