Which scope for 1000 yard rifle

I’ve seen a couple of threads on here recommending this and that for getting into the thousand yard game. I’ve noticed a lot of the links are not working anymore or the scopes have been discontinued. I want a Leupold mark five so bad I can taste it but just can’t turn loose 2000+ bucks. Right now I’ve got a Swarovski 5 x 25 and I just cannot make myself like that scope, it’s not what I want. I just don’t like it. I can’t explain why. I’ve got several of the Leopold VX5HD 3-15x56 scopes on other guns and I really like those, but I need more than 15 power I think or so I? Whats a good scope in the 25x class? I just can’t bring myself to spend $2100 bucks on a scope.

Illegals. Committing the crimes Americans won’t.


Can’t post a screen shot cause Frank didn’t pay the data center rent.

Long story short , shit hole woman delivers pizza 1.5 hours late. And cold. Gets a $2 tip on $35 order. Brings armed boyfriend back. The 2 illegals hold the pizza buyers boyfriend at gunpoint. While the pizza deliverer stabbed the pregnant poor tipper 14 times.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger New Model Blackhawk

For Christmas I inherited a 1977 Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .357 Mag from my Uncle. I’m a novice when it comes to wheelguns but I’ve always wanted a revolver in .357 so I was proud to be bequeathed his pistola. He had big mits and the grips reflect that so I’m going to get some stock Ruger grips so it fits my hand better and start holster shopping.

There’s some surface rust that needs to be addressed so I’m going to tear the pistol down this weekend and clean it up.

I want a traditional leather holster for this rig but I don’t have deep pockets for a custom job. Are TripleK holsters decent?

Training Your Replacement

The latest story on immigration is that Musk and Ramaswamy want to increase the number of visas and lift green card restrictions for immigrants skilled in the tech sector.

It's not really about hiring the best and brightest from other countries it's all about getting cheaper foreign labor and firing American workers.


The video starts at 5:00 however for the first part he talks about the feminazis and some women going back to traditional gender roles. He uses that as a segue into the H1B visa controversy.

To get right into the H1B visas story, skip ahead to the 1:12 (1 HR 12 Minute) mark.

Criterion or Shilen barrel for 7mm PRC

Looking to swap barrels/calipers (7mm rem mag to 7mm prc) and am trying to decide between the 2 barrels. It will be used on a bench/long range rig. I have 2 other Criterion barrels and they shoot great. I've never shot a Shilen so I have no real experience with them. I was just wondering if one is "better" than the other. Also, for the Shilen, does the select match and match "matter" or what the difference is. Besides price.

And 3rd question... if i have a small barrel nut on my 7mm rem mag now, do i need to stick with that or do I need a large barrel nut. Or does that only matter for the barrel and how it's made?

Glass for .22 Squirrels up to 50 Yards?

Based on a recent thread, I am thinking I may give up on giving up on rimfire. Accurate rimfire, I mean. I'm one rationalization away from buying a 16" Tikka T1x. It's all over the 6x5 thread, and it's short and threaded, so I can put a can on it.

The purpose is to punish squirrels, mainly, although I do have coons here. My dream is to have a <2-MOA hunting .22 up to 50 yards for humane kills. Ordinarily I would not want a lot of magnification in a hunting scope or a .22 scope, but squirrels are tiny, and I would like to know exactly where my POA is on the rodent. I think going as big as 15x on the top end would not be crazy. Maybe even a low-end Athlon up to 24x.

I suppose it is conceivable I might try whacking a possum or some other reasonably large animal up to 150, but probably not. I'm sure I would eventually do prone target shooting at 100.

Is there any glass I should look into for this purpose, or should I forget overthinking and just pick up any decent MRAD scope somewhere in the 15x range?

Three kids shot in houston.

For trying to rob a guy at gunpoint. To his credit, the victim got three of them. They played an adult game and paid and adult price. Hopefully they don't go after the guy for defending himself. He probably feels bad enough as it is.

The Cartridge Conundrum

New Year approaching, new shooters asking question about "getting into PRS"

So I see these questions all the time, and in the beginning they are always gear questions, what to buy. This time however it was a cartridge questions, which caliber, cartridge etc to start out with ?

The answers are crazy and I feel most people have fallen into a confirmation bias trap. If everything has been a variation of monkey see, monkey do, and the masses just repeating the same thing over and over again, how do you actually answer this questions. Let me explain deeper... with some examples of what I mean.

Everyone reads, 6mm, so you want some form of 6mm. And the Mainstream will say, 6 Dasher, 6BR* and so on, but in this case the question was about 6mm ARC and the answer was a resounding NO... the mainstream shoots, 6Dasher, 6GT, 6BR, 6XC, nobody has been successful with the ARC so don't do it.... Really, a 6mm pushing the same bullet is a no go ...

Take a 243 loaded with a 109, a 6XC loaded with a 109, a 6CM loaded with a 109, who win.... everything else is the same.

The small frame AR cartridges are designed to work in a short barreled rifle. So they are working to push efficiency, it would make sense that a bolt gun being the most efficient platform that it would work better... the Valkyrie while dead, is a good example, at 2750fps it's shit, at 3025fps it's awesome, now compare that number to a 22GT and a 22CM, if I can easily move the Valkyrie from 2750 to 2950 without extra effort, I can save a bunch of time and energy and resources.

Consider the brass chasers, why do they chase the brass, hard to find, hard to work it, don't want to lose one. Think about that, they are coveting brass... when brass the expendable part of the equation has that much value you missed the objective.

The Light is Right argument was correct, we have show with the 100gr 6.5CM it's results can pass the 156gr, which is a better bullet on paper, this equation can be made cheaper and easier especially with hand loading

What happens if you take the 100gr 6.5CM and instead of it going 3200fps like it currently does, you downloaded it to 2950, 3000fps, vs a 1, O Something in a 6mm. Samething, if the 105 is going 2850, is that really worse than the 109 going 2850 ? If so, what happens if the 105 goes to 2875 ?

None of the current cartridges started out smooth, they all went through trial and errors, mainly speed, but we have gone weight too, but speed is our biggest manipulator, so that is easy.

I think moving forward a new shooter with a 6ARC can blend in nicely
