Pot use linked to dementia



Great more expensive welfare recipients we will pay for.

2K to 3K Budget Rifle Seekins, Tikka, Solus, MPA

So I am looking at getting my first long range rifle. I have been researching and every time I think I know what I want, I start looking at something different. Seems they also keep on getting a little more expensive LOL. I want to keep it close to 2K, but may think about waiting a little longer and go up to the 3k mark. Problem is every time I do that it seems like it just goes up more. I already got my glass, I got a Vortex Razor Gen3 so will be good there now. I also should mention I am going with 6.5 creedmore and I don't reload.

At first I had it down to between the Solus and the Tikka. I then was looking at the Seekins Hit and thought I was sold, until I start looking at the MPA. I want to go Arca so if I put a Arca on the HIT it is getting closer to the MPA BA PMR rifle. I also looked at the MPA Matrix Pro and at 3K I really like the looks of the frame on the Matrix Pro. My main issue with the HIT was I played with the action on one at Scheels, and felt like it wasn't super smooth.

I also know that Shot show is going on this week, I haven't had the time to really see what is coming out, but would like to hear if there is anything new coming out that maybe I should wait for. I am a little excited to get a rifle, and a little ansy, but in all honestly am not in a super hurry and can wait. Not going to shoot outdoors in the winter anyways.

Side note on me, I want to learn on to shoot long range. I have never shot long range and also will more then likely be for fun and going to a range and target shoot. I don't plan on competing. As much fun as I think that would be I am a busy person and live fairly far from long distance ranges. I do like quality and cool guns so even though I probably won't shoot long range like some, I still want something on the nicer side. I don't hunt, but may try going out to SD to do some prairie dog hunting or something.

Accessories FRAUD WARNING!!!!! Everyone looking to purchase items on the Post Exchange should read this!!!!

It was brought to my attention that someone has created two different accounts trying to pretend that he is me.

He has created accounts named .PRDRIVER and PRDRIVER. - My account does not have a period in front or behind it.

This Fraudster then contacted one individual who expressed interest in one of my listings. He tried to pretend like he was me and sent a PayPal invoice to the buyer trying to buy a Chassis we had listed. Luckily the customer thought something was fishy and called us at our shop.

He could have easily lost out on $1600.

I think this is something that everyone should be aware of as this individual is most likely doing this to other people in the SnipersHide Post Exchange.

Make sure you are messaging with the original person who posted the listing. Look Out for someone who has created a new account on SnipersHide by dropping a period in front or behind a name on SnipersHide. You can look at information on their account as to when it was created and the type of feedback they have received.

Thanks,

Another Boeing Plane Sees Critical Failure as 757’s Nose Wheel Falls Off Before Takeoff


A Delta Airlines Boeing 757 jet taxiing on the runway with 184 passengers on board at Atlanta’s international airport was forced to abort takeoff when a nose wheel fell off and parted ways with the stricken flight.

The wheel “came off and rolled down the hill” as the flight was waiting to begin its journey, according to a report from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Delta confirmed the incident on the plane scheduled to fly from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Bogota, Colombia.

“Delta Flight 982 ATL/BOG was taxiing for departure when a nose gear tire came loose from the landing gear,” Delta said in a statement Wednesday, NBC News reports.

“All customers and their bags were removed from the aircraft, transferred to the gate and onto a replacement aircraft. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”

The plane was put back into service the next day, Delta said.

None of the passengers or six crew members were hurt in the incident, according to the FAA’s preliminary report.

Army Reveals It Fired Female Commander for Sexual Harassment


She Tailhooked herself. Her commander got fired as well and left the Army. No charges against her.

"A female Army officer was fired from command of a unit based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord amid allegations of multiple sexual assaults against several male subordinates and a pattern of sexual harassment, according to a service spokesperson."

Other articles talk about alcohol abuse. Uh huh.

Other articles say that male harassees are rare, but I can think of two female leaders right of the bat that were caught naked with junior enlisted. I can only think of one incident where we caught a man doing something dumb. And another case where a gay soldier was drugging others.

I'm gonna quit watching Pron

I've reached a point in my life in which I feel pron has made me less respectful of women, like they're just objects, so I'm going to give up watching pron. Pron is difficult to summarize but trust me when I tell you that pron has serious negative consequences on our culture.

Anyone else feel this way about pron?

20MOA rail how does it work??

So I’ve done a fair bit of research and the logic doesn’t seem to make sense to me.

If I’ve got a rifle with a 20MOA rail and I mount the optic. I can essentially see lower so I get access to more usable range from the scope adjustment I get that. What I don’t understand is how that zero isn’t completely messed up at let’s say 1000yrds.

Because there’s an angle now…. So at 100yrds cross hairs are at the infliction point barrel but at 200 yrds the cross hairs would be below the infliction point and you’d have to adjust up wouldn’t you? I mean no bullet drop is 20MOA at 200 yrds.

This problem is exasperated the farther out your go is it not???

Ok obviously it’s not otherwise it wouldn’t be a thing but I can’t for the life of me understand how my understanding is flawed.

Turkey vest

With turkey season coming up, I'm looking at vests and more importantly seats. Who makes one that doesn't completly suck, like the cabelas seats that go flat and hurt your ass after 15 minutes?

I'd love to get the new m2 from hunting public/tethrd but it's out of my price range.

I'm more of a mobile hunter so light and few calls is more my speed, but looking for something with reasonable padding. Are the alpz ones any good?

Best value base rifle for a “build”?

I’d like to “build” a new coyote/bobcat rifle for next year. I use the term lightly… a trigger swap and stock of choice are in the plans. I’ve had very good luck with my current 223 using 55gr Frontier HP Match being easy in fur. It would be hard for me to leave the 223 because of that…my current rifle is a Savage Axis which is phenomenally accurate but there is very little aftermarket support for triggers and stock upgrades, so it’ll be a gun for the kids now

My list of “requirements…
—Bolt Action
— ~ $500 gun budget, used is ok too
—decent aftermarket support so I can swap triggers and stocks
—60° bolt for clearance between optic and gloves
—threaded barrel is preferred but not a deal breaker

Some guns on the list are
—Howa 1500 and Mini
—Ruger American series
—Tikka T3 and T3X (little over budget but that’s ok)
—Weatherby Vanguard
—recommend some others too

I’m sure they are all just fine. Ultimately I’m looking for feedback on bad experiences with any of these so I can narrow my list
