DeSantis calls Trump supporters 'Listless vessels'

Whatever thats supposed to mean.

The guy is blowing it as he goes "basket of deplorables" on Trump supporters.

DeSantis always looks like one of bad guy in a black hat in the westerns I watched as a kid.

His image sucks and this doesn't help.

Advise on SFP hunting scope at the $2500 price point.

What is the platform for the scope? Bolt
What cartridge are you shooting? 6.5 Manbun
What is your intended use for the scope? Hunting (30-300 yd) and Target (100-1000 yd)
What type of conditions will you typically shoot in? 30 min before Sunrise to all day to 30 min after Sunset
What are the typical distances you intend to shoot? 30-1000 yd
Are there any specific specifications you would like? Simple reticle, low weight, SFP, Easy to get behind with very forgiving eye box.
What is the price range you can afford? $2,500 max.

Optics Planet has this new Schmidt and Bender 3-18X42 (25 oz) "available" for just under $2,500 (includes tax and shipping). By "available" I mean its for sale and "expected" to ship in 2-4 weeks. https://www.schmidtundbender.de/en/new-products/3-18x42.html

Questions:
1. Is there a better lightweight (28 oz or less) SFP scope to consider at this price point such as Swarovski, March, etc.?

2. What's the typical lead time on these Schmid & Bender scopes when they aren't directly in dealer inventory?

3. Anyone have experience with this scope? Perhaps its too new for feedback.

Giant Meteor 2024... Impact simulator program!

Well this is almost as fun as NukeMap!

Put in Longitiude and Latitude or pick a city... and drop a meteor or comet on it! See what happens.


50 meter iron meteor at 75 degrees into Los Angeles would solve sooooo... many problems!

Much joy to be derived from playing with this.

Cheers,

Windmill Farms

I’m looking for any personal experience you have had with windmill farms.

In my AO they are wanting to put in a windmill farm. I‘m personally against it and there is a public meeting this week that I’m going to try to attend and I’m trying to gather as much info as I can.

I’m open to hearing both sides of this argument so give it to me!

Recommend me an 18" semi-automatic 5.56

Need advice on semi-auto 5.56 rifle. Probably it's going to be the only 5.56 I get due to restrictions on amount of rifles you are allowed to own in my country. :rolleyes:

- needs to be 18" due to restrictions. It can of course be longer but I'd rather have it at 18 since I intend to suppress it..
- needs to have good enough precision for hunting. I want to be able to lay down a roe at 300 meters if I do my part.
- needs to be able to handle high volumes of fire when plinking
- needs to be reliable

I'd also rather it be a complete rifle. So no building..

Budget.. Well, prices are absurd in Sweden, so if I want even something decent I need to pay up.. Some examples:

Ruger MPR: 1500 USD
Daniel Defense MK12: 3300 USD
Daniel Defense M4 V7 PRO: 3200 USD
Aero Precision M4E1: 2000 USD
Diamondback DB15: 1400 USD
Stag Arms Model 3G Elite: 1900 USD
JP CTR-02: 3900 USD
Armalite M15 3 Gun Rifle: 2500 USD
DAR-15 SPR: 3400 USD
Schmeisser AR-15: 2700 USD
Grand Power GP R15: 1900 USD
Desert Tech MDR: 3500 USD
S&W M&P 15 Competition: 2900 USD
Sig Sauer MCX Spear-LT: 4500 USD

I'm leaning towards Daniel Defense. I'd rather not pay much more than that. But are there cheaper alternatives that have the same quality or shoot as well? Or more expensive alternatives that are worth it? Like way better accuracy or piston system that is worth thousands of dollars etc?

Biden is quietly selling off the border wall as scrap metal for pennies on the dollar.

Thats government property, paid for by taxpayers. How is that even legal? Oh, wait, it's not, not that that matters.

I wonder how much he and Obama are pocketing?

Why AI?

Why buy an AI?

Serious question. They look cool, and I kinda want one just to play with, but what purpose do they serve, they don't seem like a good fit for prs (I've shot probably 7 matches, so I'm no authority on this), but I've only ever seen one or two, and never in the hands of a pro shooter. The barrel profiles are too lightweight I think without adding a pile of weight. They seem too heavy, long and bulky for any hunting setup other than sitting in a fixed position. Seems like a great fit for military/LE sniper duties, but that's a small group. So, what am I missing? Are you fellas buying $6k+ rifles just to bang steel? Someone tell me what I'm missing. Thanks fellas.

When the "Worst "is still collectable

Being a collector of anything it isn't often that you try to aquire the worst of what you are collecting, but this might be the exception to the rule.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to aquire what one firearms expert calls "The Worst Sniper Rifle ever made". Now being as I collect sniper rifles, and this is a legit military issued sniper rifle, and the fact that there are only a couple of these floating around the U.S. I decided I had to have it.

Well I am now the proud owner of said rifle (along with a nice pair of Spanish Army binoculars) and I must say it's crudeness is part of its charm.

So with out further ado I present the 2nd pattern Spanish M43 Sniper Rifle.

UN Small Arms Treaty

Hitlery Clitons backdoor United Nations Gun Control Treaty is a gun control measure to attack the 2nd Ammendment is resurfacing , it was never ratified by the US Senate but they are taking another stab unlike laws that fail to ratify treatys do not expire so it will sit there until they are in a position to push it through, if it ever gets ratified they can use the treaty to strip 2A rights across the board , and expand it at will Constitution be damned, its a global AWB , if we actually ever accept it we would not only be obligated to adhere to it , and the UN could be called upon to enforce it , China has actually been placed in charge of it on the UN side of it

This is going to be fun to watch


This much rain on dry ground?

Homeless camps everywhere?

Oh and this much water getting dumped into San Andreas fault area?

How about those Malibu beach homes and the ones perched on cliffs hanging by coat hangers an tinker toy and stuff?

It’s about time California got a beating like this. It’s like God said “I’m gonna leave those good people in Florida alone… I’m gonna send a message to the sodomites and the child buggerers. Hold my beer!”

Would be awesome if NY and DC got it this year, too.

Some days, you just have to wake up and go “I love climate change!”

This is why I burn all those tractor tires and drive 400”+ V8’s

Hope you all stocked up on popcorn, this should be good!

New M1A scout. What should I know?

Hey fellas,

For whatever reason I can’t remember, I’ve always lusted after a M1A scout rifle in a walnut stock. Well today was the day and I picked one up. I dont have it in hand yet but it should arrive next week. I don’t expect it to shoot like my AI or other true precision rifles obviously but what the hell, I may as well figure out what I can do to make it as good/accurate as possible. I’ve always wanted the scout with an over the receiver scope mount for optics and delete the barrel mounted pic rail. What is the best over receiver scope mount for these rifles these days. Back when I was nerding out over them it was Sadlak.

It may end up with a true rifle scope (maybe 5 to 25 ish) or a red dot based on performance and group size. Anyway, for you M1A gurus, what would you recommend I consider or look into given this new rifle?

Also care and feeding, cleaning, maintenance, reloading info advice much appreciated. Thanks y’all.

Remington 700 In Precision

Brothers,…
So I’m an old retired guy. I’ve been doing USPSA pistol matches since the 70’s. I’m not as fleet of foot as I once was; however, I had seen an example of a PRS type match shot in my area. I thought about giving it a go.
Here’s the question.
I’ve got a relatively newer Remington 700 in .308. Would that be a reasonable foundation weapon to take me from beginner to intermediate in this type of competition?
Thanks
