Hello everyone,

Pretty new here, just getting into precision with one custom rifle. But planning my next build to start in the spring.
This rifle would be more or less a “do it all” in North America. Everything from Brown bear to Elk.

First pass thoughts:
- ARC CDG lightweight action
- Standard sporter barrel - ~22” (maybe 24”) - premium - proof, brux, etc etc
- Stock/chassis undecided, but light
- Suppressed (my hearing is already bad, I know a brake is lighter)
- Vortex Razor LHT 3-15
- Vortex PMR
- Cal - biggest consternation here, really liking the 338 Norma for its ability to fit in a standard LA and ridiculousness factor. 300’s are appealing too, but I don’t own any 338’s, so leaning that direction.

When I piece this together, it’s roughly 8ish lbs. Any thoughts on setup? One of my concerns with going too light on the stock is that suppressed, it might be very nose heavy.

Yeah, I'm an impulse buyer...
X-Ray- Surgeon action 308. Ordered last year and it's sat around NEVER fired outside of Mike. Comes with the bi-pod- $7200k
TT Gen 2 5x25- Mounted and placed in safe -$2950 SOLD

Happy to send more pics as needed

"He" didn't do this alone.

"He concluded, quite correctly, that as long as government controls the economy, it controls profits. Most importantly, Obama concluded that to control the economy, the government must control only three vital sectors—health care, finance, and energy. Thus, by controlling profits, the government can gradually impose socialism. Hence, neither revolution nor expropriation is necessary."

I am wearing this t-shirt today and had to visit HR about, 2hr lecture about how offensive this shirt is.

I need to find a t-shirt that says something like get on your waaaah cycle and pedal away, basically a go fuck off somewhere else that won't earn me another useless lecture about how my hobby is offensive.

JUL 1-3, 1863... (161 years ago for those here challenged by math) things were pretty dang rough here in our country. Far more turmoil than issues like open borders, corrupt media, pandemics, or questionable leadership brings to the table presently but sure that was present even then.

I'm talking about 4 years of absolute carnage, brother against brother- bayonet against bayonet style of fighting... over convictions and an established moral code (yep I said it/summarized it) over how a population would be governed just shy of 100 years into our country's establishment.

With that preface- while we were absolutely tearing ourselves apart nationally, there was one speech, that lasted all but 2 minutes that forever went into history and while I'd have to imagine most of our members here learned about it in school (however many years ago), we can all benefit by a refresher...


"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

-Abraham Lincoln

I have a thing for BDC reticles. I like how I don't need to think or make any calculations, I just aim accordingly. Add on wind holds, and I get even more aroused. Maybe it's because I'm a dumb Marine and popped my cherry with the ACOG, but it's just who I am.

So I've been looking for the "perfect scope" for one of my rifles, and I ALMOST found it, a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 with a reticle that I didn't even know existed, the Velocity 600. Unfortunately, the one that I found is the high velocity (HV) reticle, and for 308 with a short barrel, I'm looking for the low velocity (LV) one. Several years ago, this would be easy to locate, but now it appears to be discontinued and gone from everywhere. I called Nightforce this morning, and was subtly laughed at for being stupid and not just adopting mils.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find One of these old NXS 2.5-10x32s with the Velocity 600 LV reticle? I feel like there's got to be some on a shelf somewhere, or some old hunter who uses something more modern nowadays.

Let me know your thoughts!

anyone else watching this? it's incredibly painful. it's almost like they're cheering so he won't have the time to embarrass the party.

There you go. Here’s your chance. Go.

Whats the story with the casper area? Is there any good elk hunting around there? How is the crime, cost of living? is it predominately republican or democrat? I have lived in northern MN and the Fargo area so I know what bad winters are like. I would like to eventually retire in wyoming. I have traveled the northern half of the state, but never down by casper or cheyene. I would like to get some acreage to shoot on. I grew up on a farm and have lived in the country on acreage most of my life. What can you guys tell me that I should know?

Afternoon Folks,

Long story short, we had our house robbed ( I suspect a contractor, but whatever) All long guns stolen (all pretty old 7yrs. +/-) Insurance covered it all.

So, I'm on the hunt for new gear and Its been a while since I've done any shopping or any read any reviews.

Thought this would be the place to go. If we're going to get 2-3 new rifles, covering all the basic needs, what setups would you get?

I don't have a specific purpose, just your basic zombie apocalypse, burglar, occasional hunting and steel. Have in the area of about
2500-3K per not counting glass.

Appreciate it.

The disgraced Wisconsin elementary school teacher arrested in May for allegedly “making out” with a fifth-grader has been hit with more charges and faces a life sentence in prison if convicted.
Madison Bergmann, 24, who taught at Hudson’s River Crest Elementary School until being charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child, is now facing nine additional felonies, the New York Post reported.
The allegations originally came out when the parents of an 11-year-old boy discovered text messages between him and Bergmann, featuring conversations about inappropriate encounters they allegedly had in her classroom during lunch periods or after school.
The teacher allegedly wrote that she enjoyed the child touching her and “making out,” according to charging documents that CBS News obtained.
Upon reading the disturbing messages, the boy’s father stormed into the school with printouts of the conversations in hand.
A subsequent police investigation uncovered even more disgusting details, including handwritten letters found in Bergmann’s backpack in which she allegedly wrote about kissing and being in love with the young student.
“One of my cousins is in the 5th grade and I can’t imagine a man talking to her how we talk,” Bergmann allegedly wrote. “I know we have a special relationship and I do love you more than anyone in the world but I have to be the adult here and stop.”
Bergmann, who was engaged to be married in July when she was first arrested, resigned from her teaching position shortly after the news broke, KARE11 reported.
After further investigation, prosecutors charged her with one count of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, five charges of sexual misconduct by school staff, two charges of child enticement causing mental or bodily harm, and a charge of exposing a child to harmful materials, according to an amended complaint that the New York Post viewed.
Bergmann faces up to 185 years in prison if convicted and sentenced consecutively.
Her ex-fiance, Sam Hickman, is reportedly humiliated that she “cheated with a little kid.”
An anonymous friend of Hickman told the New York Post, “Sam is really upset and heartbroken. He’s embarrassed and pissed. He didn’t deserve this. Everyone is pissed.”
The friend said it was a mutual decision to cancel the wedding, adding Hickman “says it’s f*cked up that she cheated with a little kid.”

YIKES!!

This is what happens when I don’t patrol the border with Co.

So, a friend of mine and I was at the range, and I let him shoot one of my pistols with a RDS on it and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

I zeroed it to hit POA POI at exactly 25yds and that is exactly what it was doing for me.

He kept asking me where should the bullet go? I kept telling him where you put the red dot should be the POI.

Anyway, I was like man I don't know what the fuck you are doing, but for me its hitting exactly where the red dot is.

My question is even though it was zeroed for me with my eyes could it not have been zeroed for him the way his eyes look through the sight?

Now this got me thinking with rifle scopes if I zero my scope for me and if someone else looks through it (other than the diopter needing to be adjusted for the reticle) shouldn't it be zeroed for them as well?

I got a friend that wants me to mount and zero a new scope for him and it got me thinking "when he looks through it will it be zeroed for him as well?"

Fairly cool yesterday, around 74°. On yesterday's to-do list:

Black arc 77 Nas3
Badlands 77 shell shock
Badlands 75 shell shock
Aac 77 otm

Garmin xero chrono

The bad news-i forgot to charge my garmin and it didn't make it through all the ammo. If was also very windy so I didn't get an accuracy test in.

Good velocities but a rather large ES from these for me.


A little on the slow side but really good stats

*sigh* the 77gr load performs poorly for me from them

Dead chrono. I didn't get to test the 75's but from my previous outings with them, they had to be moving around 2650. I zeroed it and pushed them out to 400 to verify. Streloks holds where dead on using my previous data for them.


I have a new batch of Badlands coming this week that I'm going to test-they changed some powder and switched the 77's back to the smk from the hornady.
