Been thinking of upgrading my bipod game to a Ckye-Pod (from Grnd-Pod). Have an opportunity to grab a like new Gen1 for about half price, or bide my time and save up for the Gen2. Which would you choose and why?

I have some questions for ND residents.

I have a number of AR500 steel plates hanging up behind my house. They have been there for years and years with the same original T-post. A few months ago some relatives came over to shoot which was totally fine. After they were done, a few days later I noticed that they shot through and blew the main support out of some of the posts.

I was considering re-arranging everything anyway, so I pulled up each post and re-mounted everything with different mounting attachment methods. Did that and everything looked great. Then the same two came over to shoot again and low and behold they shot up the brand new T-posts AGAIN. In probably ten years I never shot the posts holding up my targets. They can't hit anything AR500 worth a crap, but they certainly can hit the T-posts from various distances.

The net result is, I am going to have to pull up several posts (again) and replace them, which leads to my asking the brain trust here to give me some ideas about how to protect the T-posts. It's not that posts are expensive, but rather, it's a pain in the ass to go pull them up out of the ground and re-mount my targets all the time.

I have seen a number of companies that sell AR500 T-post protectors. The problem is they are expensive. In some cases from the prices I see it would cost several hundred bucks to protect a few fence posts, (which I might do anyway under the premise of 'buy once cry once') but I am not totally sold yet. The other problem is that the targets are at various heights so initially I might have to change some of that up if I go that route. It will also limit me in the future should I decide to switch things up again because I don't have the stuff to cut AR500 to custom lengths. There are a few other downsides as well such as (supposedly) I would need to use their mounting solutions as well, which is even more $$$.

One idea that popped into my head is to get some treated 4x4 lumber and cut it to the length I like with a chainsaw and just bolt it on the post below the target. I have zero illusions that a 4x4 would stop any kind of rifle bullet, but maybe it could slow things down enough to prevent damage to the post behind it. Typically no one is shooting any larger calibers anymore so generally speaking we are talking about 5.56 or 300BLK (AR cartridges) and pistol rounds.

If anyone has any ideas to accomplish my goal please let me know by posting it up below. After I get a few ideas and weigh my options I will purchase what I need.

edit, Forgot to mention that the delta ring appears not to be engaged with the hand guard.

Was going to put this on a new Viking Armament PRC they are building me, but I have fallen in love with the polar lineup of scopes so I want to go that route instead. Up for sale is a Schmidt PMII 5-25x56 P4FL reticle. Scope shows a little wear with some light "freckling" on the power knob, and a mark or two on the turrets. These do not affect function at all, and are shown in the pictures that I took. Also there are some super light and hard to see little markings on the objective lens, you can't get a photo of them. They appear to just be in he coating, and you can't see them when you are using the scope. But to be fulling honest I wanted to put that out there. This is priced to move at $1800 shipped to your door. For a PMII in this condition I think it is a steal.

Bet this has roots in the WEF or Soros little pigpen…

Well, good. Let’s see what they do! Watch and learn folks…

Welp I’ve given the reloading thing a try over the last year or so but my ES of 40-50 is just not worth all the extra effort of reloading when I can shoot factory, sell the brass and come out close to the same.

Before I went and bought a bunch of Hornady March ammo, any others I should consider? Thinking alone the lines of LAX Ammo reloads, Freedom Muntions, etc

Does anyone have suggestions for a large variety of tobacco to grow? Most varities i see say they get 5-6'. My mom had a tobacco from FFA kids at her school a few years back and the thing grew 8-10' tall. Really all I want is a big plant with big flowers. I don't smoke or chew so the quality of the tobacco is entirely unimportant.

Stores throughout greater San Francisco have been closing for months. Major retailers have ditched the city, as well as pharmacies and grocery stores. All mainly due to crime and theft.

Now lawmakers in the city want to allow residents to sue grocery stores for closing.

This is completely backwards. The city could stop all of the theft tomorrow if they wanted to by simply enforcing the law. Then the stores wouldn’t close in the first place. But that would entail admitting that the left’s policies are wrong and don’t work, so they’re going after the stores.

The New York Post reports:

San Francisco lawmakers want to let city residents sue grocery stores that close
A pair of progressive San Francisco lawmakers are pushing a bill that would allow residents in the crime-ravaged city to sue grocery stores that close up shop if they don’t give six months’ notice.
The proposal by San Francisco Board of Supervisors members Dean Preston and Aaron Peskin would require business to either find a successor grocer or work out a plan with residents in the neighborhood to ensure the availability of supermarket options.
The Grocery Protection Act – which is based on a proposal the board approved in 1984 that was vetoed by then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein — comes amid a rash of retail theft fueled by the city’s drug and homelessness crisis that has led to several business closures.
Whole Foods closed its Market Street location last year after there were 568 emergency calls lodged in a 13-month period due to incidents such as vagrants throwing food, yelling, fighting and attempting to defecate on the floor, according to the New York Times. At least 14 arrests were made at the location.

The city is in a doom loop and things will get much worse before they get better.

HILARIOUS!
NOW EVERY RETAILER WHO IS THINKING OF LEAVING OR CLOSING WILL BAIL BEFORE THIS BECOMES LAW SO THEY DON'T GET TRAPPED BY THIS INSANITY!
FAFO!

By all reports, she was a great mother with three adult children. A school teacher who kept in regular contact with her kids. Her youngest, a fourth year med student who by all accounts was brilliant, was visiting for the weekend. No known drug, alcohol, mental, or criminal issues. No history of police calls for any of them. NOTHING at all. When asked by police why he stabbed his own mother as she answered the door and was happy to see him- he said he'd been wanting to kill her for a long time and just decided during the drive to do it. When asked, he said he loved her, but that she was sometimes annoying. That poor woman never saw it coming because there was absolutely no reason to ever suspect he'd felt that way about his mother.

Twice in the last three days I had shots off my back deck at coyotes. The closest about 280 yards the other was about 450. Both dogs were walking away when I missed the first shot. Then they went to a full sprint. The first dog at 450 I was using a 223 bolt action and only got off a second shot that fell about a foot behind him. The second dog I used a 223 AR . I dumped 10 or 11 rounds at him as he ran out to woods 550ish yards away.

I'm thinking that 223 isn't the best caliber for this scenario. I'm also thinking a long barreled AR10 might be in order for quicker follow-up shots. What caliber choices should I look?

Thanks

I got this rifle a couple years ago but never got to putting optics on it or shooting it. I also picked up an LWRC Six8 around the same time and that is the rifle I hunt with and shoot the most so this just keeps sitting in the safe.

More interesting to read who is giving to this moron.

I wonder what a forensic accounting of Greta Thunberg’s carbon-dripping jet-set would look like?

On the bright side… if all the money is being spent on Hoggs cushy lifestyle and paying for BS… it’s not being spent to erase the 2a. So you go David Hogg.

You got busted with your snout in the gravy bowl… Mr. “Survivor.”

Wonder what “the establishment” would be doing to a Trumper if this was how their pac’s were run?

I joined this forum less than a month ago, seeking information & some advice about expanding my tactical gun skills to include longer distance precision shooting. Longest shots would probably be less than 500 yards.

I have a couple of decades of practicing tactical shooting skills behind me, all AR based.

To those who say a lower cost rifle isn't accurate, I say BULLSHIT.

Yesterday, my brother & I were shooting 100 yard targets. I normally shoot at poker chips with a contrasting yard dot in the center for contrast. Chips are 1.5" in diameter, yard dots are .75 diameter. Hitting the chip isn't difficult, hitting center of dot is.

He took an unspent 12 gauge shotgun shell he found laid it atop the 2 Inch foam archery target we use to staple targets to. The primer end pointed at me. He placed a red target dot over the primer so I could see it. The front of the shell was resting against a wood backstop people staple their targets to. My foam backstop rested against it..

1 shot, and I hit the shells primer, igniting the shell, the powder burns are evident. Examine the board and you can see exactly where the shell was laying when hit. The shotgun blast penetrated the plywood backing.

We found the remnant of the shell & the red paper dot..

Now you tell me again how you need a high dollar gun with yada yada yada aftermarket parts to be accurate.

I did this with my .223 Savage Axis II Precision and a Vortex Viper Venom scope I bought less that a month ago shooting my reload of a ArmorAlly 55gr fmg, 24 grains of Alliant 1200r with a CCI 450 primer and a range scavenged case. Twist on rifle is 1:7. Hardly considered an accurate load by many.

So when people ASK for opinions on how to get started, dump the bullshit about needing a gun way outside their budgets, and offer real advice. Don't do describe your "dream gun" you don't own, actually try to help them..

Some GREAT, and very accurate weapons are out there that sell for $400 and up. Ruger, Savage, Remington and others are great starter guns to learn accuracy skills with.

Listen to their questions and offer helpful suggestions, not the same bullshit of "just save up more money" so they can afford a gun you probably don't have yourself.

I may be in the minority on this forum, but for my style of shooting, accuracy is #1, and I think most feel the same. Your "sub MOA" is impressive, but far more when inside the bullseye of the target.

Temp around 65°

Cool air, warm sun.

Data was taken with garmin chrono

I tried to get groups but strong unpredictable gusts up to 30 mph in varying directions made it too difficult to isolate the ammo for consistent groups

Black hills 77 otm's red box. Unknown if this batch used the 77 sierra or the 77 hornady. All shot with suppressor. Data is avg of all strings. (3 strings 25 rounds)
High 2690 low 2622

Ex spread 68

Black hills 69 TMK (only 1 string of 10 rounds)

Ex spread 49

Aac 75 gr w/o suppressor (1 string 10 rounds)

Aac 75 gr w/ suppressor. Avg of all strings (5 strings 50 rounds)
High 2647 low 2516
Avg 2557
Std dev 24
Ex spread 131

Now comes the part I was most excited about. I tested the badlands co 75 and 77 gr loaded in the Nas3 casings. These have given some really high velocities and I was hoping I would get similar. I was a bit let down.

75 gr w/ suppressor (4 strings 40 shots)
High 2738 low 2619
Avg 2669
Std dev 26
Ex spread 119


The 77's where similarly "slow" for what I had hoped for. (3 strings 30 shots)
High 2705 low 2571
Avg 2638
Std dev 28
Ex spread 134 (3 very low velocity shots)


If I exclude the low velocity shots I come up with
77's
Avg 2651
Std dev 18
Ex spread 84

75's
Avg 2675
Std dev 24
Ex spread 99

It should be noted that after taking out the shots that where much slower there were basically 2 velocities for the 75's. Most where within a few fps of 2650 OR 2700 the 77's didn't have the two distinct groups the 75's did.

*edit* spoke with the dudes at badlands. I called strictly to give data and feedback to which they didn't find the data satisfactory. They agreed the velocities were about 75 fps slower on average then they would have guessed (should have been about 2750) and they Ex spread should have been half. Long story short they will send me some new ammo to test when i get home from this upcoming deployment, none of which I asked for. That was really cool of them.

On a side note the Nas3 ammo was felt way less gassy than the aac ammo.

The last test was a poi shift when the suppressor is removed. My aac 75's (what it's zeroed on) shift .75moa left and 0moa vertically
