Guys,

Does the vintage sniper rifle match in Quantico still take place? If so, when and are the rules published?

I’ve failed to find this info via search.

Tangent theta 525 with a gen 3 xr fine reticle. New tenebraex caps. Few minor scratches will ship in NF ATACR box $3500

I ordered an Oklahoma Joes Judge charcoal grill on Amazon Prime Day. I couldn’t resist, I saved $175 on it.
Does anybody have one? Can you tell me about it? The good, the bad and the ugly?
It looks like a grill like they made when I was a kid, heavy duty, cast iron grates, adjustable charcoal tray. Only thing missing is a rotisserie.
Thanks.

Are there any spots to shoot long range in Iceland? My family is taking a trip in August and I’m always looking for new spots to shoot.

Has to be in the 10s of millions doesn't it.... even though he probably doesn't know what day it is.

Ice cream.... you you you know... the thing.

Maybe the kickbacks from Ukraine have been enough....

Ok first and foremost, I’m looking to start a compact rifle build. So think takedown and small. I would like at least two caliber options in this kit, possibly three. So my initial questions are regarding switch barrel 700s in general. Those that have them built are you hand torquing the barrel to headspace to a predetermined rating or how are you getting repeatable safe headspacing? Second, interrupted threads. I would like to be able to drop the barrel in place and have quarter turn or one full turn to seat. I know it’s more work but that’s the picture I have in my mind. Lastly, calibers. 300wm which is universal and needs no introduction, then the second is a little more unusual. 12.7x57
Anthis. Google might be necessary but it’s essentially a subsonic European cartridge based on the 460 weatherby brass. Shortened and using a 50bmg bullet. I have a lot of knowledge of this cartridge, having built a couple rifles in this years ago. So brass, dies and even chamber reamer are no issue. For those that don’t know it, go look it up. Serious subsonic .50 caliber. It will be used exclusively in an integrally suppressed barrel. The third, if there is one is yet to be determined. I really wanted something big and magnum as I will already have a .585 bolt face bolt. This little kit will be fitted for two bolts. One to run the 300wm and the second with the larger bolt face for the 460 brass.

So, how much is Jill Biden's book deal going to be? Asking for all of us American taxpayers.

I'm looking at building/buying my son his first CF rifle for his birthday this year. Leaning towards a 22 ARC. Itd be a pretty versatile cartridge ranging anywhere from varmint to target. Has light recoil and shouldn't be awful on barrels.

I'm not really wanting to break the bank on this one but want something better than a Ruger American.

Wish Solus or Mack had PPC bolt face, but thinking
Origin/Howa(cheap)
Prefit Light Varmint BBL
Pick up a used Element
Some 2-12/3-15 type scope.

Am I missing any obvious factory action options or calibers? Off the shelf ammo is a must as I really dont want to load all the rounds this kid is gonna put down range, and he isnt versed enough yet to reload on his own. I'm not really in the space of $5-800 scopes anymore, what fits the bill thays usable at low power for dusk/dawn whitetail/coyotes?

Btw not really interested in 223, I have a few now and really am not impressed with them in hunting situations, and its always gun to add another cartridge to the safe.

Considering building one as hunting rifle . We mostly sit in blinds, by the time you hang a suppressor on the end of it, rifles get long and awkward to maneuver inside .

Was thinking 16-18 in barrel .

Don’t fool with reloading, don’t have any time for it . So everything would just be factory ammo .

With the short setup, am I just eating time/money ? Will it offer anything better than a good ole 308 setup similar?

Original plan was 300wm w 18 inch barrel, but based on reading so far sounds like that’d just be a really cool fireball making machine .

End goal is basically a short barrel elk rifle for lake of better description

Ten people shot three fatally at a party in Philly. Amish again?

i know this belongs in the "Physical Fitness" sub forum, but that forum doesn't seem to get much traction anymore since we moved to the "filter" tab selection thingy a few years ago...

I am looking to get into state law enforcement with the PA Game Commission in my mid 40s. I passed the civil service exam, passed my PT test and am now in my 3 month long background check. I had my in home background check interview the other day and it went pretty well. The school is almost a year long and since I am older, I asked how strenuous is the PT everyday. I have lived a pretty eventful life and have tons of injuries and quite a few were life changing that just will not go away. One of the officers mentioned that they smoke you the first day there with a 1000 rep workout and I think he said a 5 mile run...maybe it was 5K run. They continue to smoke you the whole first week to weed out the unprepared students. If I make it thru the entire process, I have until March 1st 2025 (my own mental goal, not sure of the exact date) to be ready, the school starts sometime in March 2025. I will have literally just turned 45 in February. I am in ok shape for 44, definitely way better than 90% of the dudes my age. I don't have a gut, my abs are starting to show again, I'm getting back some muscle tone, I quit drinking 7 months ago (had nothing to do with this new possible career field), I quit smoking 7 years ago. I am 5'-10" 192lbs but everyone thinks I weigh sub 180...I don't know why. Maybe because I carry my weight in my legs (I have always had pretty thick legs). I was 220 with a gut before I quit drinking and would like to get back to 180 when i graduated high school when I had good muscle and no fat. I do realize I have lost A LOT of muscle mass and will probably retain some belly fat.

I am looking for some exercise suggestions to help me prepare. My running goal is 6 miles, I am up to 2 trying to keep my heart rate low at a pace of 10min/mile. My PT test was a pace of 8min/mile so I do know I can run faster. I can run/walk 3 miles. I do know he said it is 10 exercises of 100 reps each. He said, "The usual; push ups, sit ups, squats, mountain climbers, burpees and then a run". I asked for him to elaborate a bit more on the other exercises and he just said high rep body weight exercises. Other than the 5 I listed, what am i missing? Pull ups...those are gonna be killer. My shoulders are fucked with a capital FUCKED. I separated my left shoulder 4 times and my right 3 times. I tore my ACL in my right knee twice, had it repaired once and tore it again but didn't have it repaired the 2nd time, and had back surgery in 2013 when i was 33.

I tired looking for a standard test, but everything seems to be all over the place.

So far:
push ups
sit ups
burpees
mtn climbers
squats

Thank you!

Well, he just tweeted it out…what happens next is anyone’s guess

How many of you are getting political texts with links to surveys and crap from people? I just got one from Donald Trump Jr. saying they need my help and to go complete surveys and junk. I don’t click on links that don’t come from a known source. As much as I am kind of curious, it’s not happening. Do you guys have some trusted ways of verifying stuff or are you like me and just ignore?

I have always done a full-length size on all cases. Anything that shoots from a magazine gets a very light crimp.

Selling my right handed rifles due to an eye injury.

The action had around 5000 rounds on it. The barrel has 1000. It would come with a thread protector, not the pictured A419 adapter. As you can see in the picture the there is a bit of a void between the shell and the filler where the relief for the bolt was milled in the cheek piece. The barrel has a sweet rattle can paint job.

New in the box.

Hi, I am a newbie of reloading world.

So, I’d like to check my understanding of reloading terms and knowledge.

A. Shoulder Bump
What is the standard for -0.002?. For example, I have 6.5CM Aero Solus. Once I fired, the brasses will be stretched out, not the same length, from the base to neck, It might be various like 1.536” to 1.538”. So, how should I do then. Put the FL sizing die into press, and makes all brasses into 1.534”?

Or

If I have a factory brass, never fired brass, Hornady Brass, put that brass into Hornady headspacer, and make caliper in zero. So, the never fired brass, is in 0.000. After that, all fired brass, and make them into -0.002 through the FL sizing die. is that right?
B. Neck tension.
I have a Hornady Custom Grade die for 6.5CM. But, I will return it cuz, I am thinking about purchasing the Forster Full length “Bushing” die, cuz I want to put the neck tension too.
Same like Shoulder bump, I need to check the diameter of the 6.5CM brass neck, so, if it is 0.409. By using Full Length “Bushing”die, make it to 0.407. is that right?

Or, I have a Lee ultimate neck sizing die. Can I use this one too?

Make it simple that
1. Just using a Full length “Bushing” Die, so that you can do the shoulder bump + giving neck tension in one action OR
2. By using Full length sizing die, make it shoulder bump, and change the Neck sizing die, and giving neck tension.

C. Load Development.
So, I am gonna use H4350, starting from 36Gr, increase by 0.3 grs, not reach up to maximum grains, 40grs. After I shoot 5 shots of each powder mass. I can get the result of ES/SD/ and Group Size. So, my question is, which factors is most important? ES/SD or Group size?
If I knew the best value of ES/SD or Group size, then I will decide the “Seating depth”. Am I understanding correctly?

How often should a bolt gun be cleaned and can you over clean? I've heard that dirty will effect accuracy
