Putting down the family dog...

We have a 12 year old lab and he's not in particularly good shape. We're not quite there yet, but the writing is on the wall. I brought this up with my wife and she's at peace with putting him down when the time comes. Where our opinions differ is the method in which to do so.

I'd prefer to build a fire, lay out a couple of blankets and cook up some ribeyes for the two of us. I'd let him eat until his heart's content and wait for him to fall asleep under the stars before doing it myself. She thinks I'm an absolute monster for even suggesting this.

I can't bear the idea of dragging him to the vet and having a stranger poke and prod him on a cold steel table under blinding fluorescent lights in his final moments. I don't think I could forgive myself for that. Hell, I get choked up just typing this and I worry I don't have the stones to follow through. It just doesn't seem right to go about it any other way.

Any opinions?

Post Your AMP Press Plots

For those who have an AMP press, I thought it would be interesting to see others' plots and what prep they did to get said plots.

To kick it off:

6 BRA
105 Berger Hybrid
Lapua Brass (once-fired/formed)
FL sized and mandrelled (sp?)
Moly neck lube twice - once before mandrel, once after
LE Wilson seater
20 rounds seated

The bummer is that I was running about a 6 lb spread until #s 17 and 19, which pushed the spread out to about 10 lb.

Who's the stupid now?

This is very serious buisiness effecting the very core of America.

"But federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Homeland Security’s law enforcement branch, said some crime groups are even more elaborate — and theft is just one facet of their enterprises."

Son of a bitch we are paying home land security to do the important task of catching cosmetics thieves while a flood of international terrorist from four continents mingle in with other criminals and wet backs illegally crossing our border and causing crime and severe economic damage to our country.

They arrest people over lipstick and let border jumpers go, hell they hamper Texas in thier state efforts while getting paid.

SOB


How do the leaders of this country keep thier God Damned jobs?

Muzzle brake and hearing?

I’m very new to the PRS world and know many people use muzzle brakes to reduce recoil to better spot hits/miss.

However from my research the added level of noise of the muzzle brake (5-15db) can not be combated even when using foam plugs and ear muffs (approx 34db reduction).

Math: bare muzzle +-150db + 10db (avg muzzlebrake) = 160db - 34db (double ear protection) = 124db

I can’t deny the benefit of muzzle brakes from a seeing your misses standpoint but what is everyone doing to protect their hearing? I’m considering using my can in place of getting a suppressor on my comp rifle

Scope Options with a set of criteria

Trying to open my mind and get a fresh look at what options I should be seriously considering. I have already reached out to @Euro.Connor and I am sure he will provide some feedback for me as well. I am curious with the following set of criteria what the masses here would suggest and have experience with.

6.5PRC build
Max Scope Weight - 36oz (poss. up to 38)
Max Magnification Minimum - 25x
Budget - $2500 with a little bit of room if there is an outstanding option

What are the top 3-5 scopes that you would recommend?

p.s. new to the long range world after years of spending too much money and time in the tactical game.

I picked this up planning a build that I can’t do now thanks to some new regs in my state…
I put a few rounds through it on my mk 4 and it ran great.
