So I was in my LGS this weekend and he had just got a used rifle in and was tossing it on rack. After checking it out it's an unfired still has tag on trigger guard 2009 rem 700 SA 5r 308 24". Gave $999 for it which I think is a pretty good deal. Now here comes the questin. I already have a 700 LTR 308 in manners with mark 5, jewell, atlas and a can that shoots amazingly well. I'm really not sure what to do with this thing, toss in safe and leave it alone or build it up? Thanks in advance for your opinions

Trying to dwell in the rimfire world and have decided that the 457 is my choice, is the price tag on the precision varmint camo worth it? I love manners stocks and I know they’re quality but it’s pricy. On the other hand if I went with a cheaper model I’d probably just end up buying an after market stock/chassis.

Opinion?

Have a TT special installed on an ARC nucleus, when I run the bolt it resets the safety. I have not had this issue with TTs on other actions, is there a way to fix this, sucks to keep having to flick the safety off every shot. Thanks

We need Mad Magazine now more than ever….

Helped to raise kids who were not snowflakes!


Loved his cartoons. And the whole Mad Magazine world. Who didn’t love Spy vs Spy? And fold-ins? And TV/movie spoofs!

Funny, as kids we weren’t allowed to have comic books. (So devoured them at friends houses.) But we’re allowed to have Mad Magazine! Folks bought it for us!

Maybe our parents weren’t as dumb as we thought.

RIP Al Jaffee.

Looking to sell my tt. I bought it new 2 years ago. Used it in one PRs season and it’s been setting in the safe for the last year or so. The turrets are the only thing that show any wear. This came from getting bumped in the safe more than anything. Glass is still perfect. 3650 f&f Venmo or cashiers check if we can’t manage to meet up. Aimpoint Acro p2 and Aimpoint t2 will lower the price if u can produce either of those or both.

In remote areas, I can see having a seperate VA facility. But in areas that already have numerous hospitals and docs, why the duplicative facilities, docs, nurses, etc.
Why not let vets go to the facility of their choice and send the bill to the government.
Is TBI really different if you got it from an IED vs a car crash? Is PTSD different if you got it from combat vs childhood abuse?

What say you?

We've speculated as to why these people snap and go on killing sprees, generally writing it off to 'mental illness', but that doesnt really answer any questions as to 'why' or how to deal with it.

When I was 50 years younger I was a very angry, violent, dangerous, young man and came within a hair of 'going postal'. Fortunately, or unfortunately according to your view of me, a true miracle occurred and Maggot is still with us.

I wont go into my own personal struggles but rather what I learned in unraveling them . I believe I might shed some light on why these things happen.


Im not speaking of times when two idiots collide, like the two in Texax (Chad and Kyle?) fighting over visiting rights. Thats just a couple of morons intersecting

The reason people do these things, and I believe the same energy causes all this transexual and other sickness we're facing, 95% of the time boils down to one thing. Poor self esteem, AKA, self hate. Somebody, somewhere, somehow, or a confluence of events, caused this person to see themselves as bad, perhaps evil, undeserving of value. and respect Doesnt matter if it was Mommy emotionally abusing, or Daddy being a violent asshole, or uncle Joe doing a bit of diddling with the children, ar a bright kid being abused by stupid thugs. they feel dirty, worthless, frightened and dreading the future. I finally realized Its like a blackness on your soul, and there's no just pulling yourself up by your boot straps. Try to imagine the horror hating yourself enough to even hate your own gender. Have you ever done something that you were ashamed of or really embarrassed by? Remember how awful and dark your soul felt? Imagine that multiplied by 100 and no relenting, no rest. That being is truly and deeply damaged and in a lot of pain. At some point all that pain just explodes. Sometimes people just destroy themselves in suicide or sometimes they turn the blame out and take it out on others.

When it reaches that level I'm not sure that any traditional type therapies can deal with this sort of stuff. I've come to think that when some are so deeply wounded in the soul, other non physical entities are able to attach themselves and feed on that pain and suffering, even stirring it up to cause more to feed on. Remember the story of the boy that Jesus healed who kept throwing himself into the fire? In the past they were at times called demons. Doesnt matter what you call them, but It takes power to deal with those entities and reason alone generally doesnt get you there, it takes a higher power. It is available. When our hearts are clear we can access it, but only if you know you can. For those who love and follow Christ it is our heritage. Prayer is a beginning. Then putting on the whole armor as mentioned in: Set us pray for, and fight spiritually, the forces fighting to destroy our country and liberty. We have a powerful group here and already have on prayer thread, but I'd like this one to take a narrow focus. I'll bump this everytime one of theses things happens and feel free to bring it up. It take a focus of power. DC is full of this demonic poison and a good place to focus.

Ephesians 6:10-18​

​

The Armor of God​

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.​

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.​

​

With this thread, and in conjunction with 'The Prayer Request Thread' I speak power to the break of the demonic force that is fighting to take control of our country and government. I know there are many churches doing this, but brothers, Ive seen power in this place, lets use it. Everytime one of these events occurs Im going to bring this thread up, and anyone who joins me is free to bring it up at any time.​

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++​

I reckon if Frank of the Mod's feel this in appropriate they can remove it, but its the only answer I've found to whats going on.​

Foggy matches are obscuring steel after they get the paint beat off of them. Its time for an upgrade and my two highest priorities are clarity/contrast of the image and accurate turret tracking.

I have known a few bird watchers that swear by Zeiss and Leica for optical clarity so I have been seriously thinking about these two scopes. The zeiss seems to get good reviews and is cheaper MSRP, but the Leica can be had around the same price if I'm patient.

Has anyone had any tracking or durability issues with either? Anyone have direct experience with both and want to weigh in on which one they like more?

I am coming off of a vortex pst II that I think is giving me tracking issues, so either scope would be an upgrade. Whichever option I buy is going to be with me for a long time so I want to make sure that I select the best scope for PRS style matches and abuse.

Picked up a Savage B22 last fall, mainly because I like MDT chassis, have two others for my PRS rifles. Looked at the Ruger but couldn't find one in stock anywhere, did find a deal on the Savage. Have over 7,000 of 22LR in the safe, mostly CCI Mini-Mag and wanted to put in some range trigger time without burning through my 6.5CM stock.
Zeroed the gun last fall at 50Y using the CCI Mini-Mag ammo and was very happy with ten round groups repeatedly punching a single jagged hole. Built a rack of NRL22 swingers from 1-1/2" down to 1/4" and could run the rack down to 1/2" every time, 1/4" was a sometimes.
Our local club started doing NRL22 matches this Spring for the first time. Hung out at the match Saturday to get a feel for the stages and CoF. Several stages were 40Y to 100Y, multiple targets. Tank Trap, all at 100Y.
Now for the problem. Yesterday, Sunday I went to the club to gather dope for the rifle at 100Y compared to the 50Y zero. Shots were all over the place! Might get about four out of ten on zero and rest would be high, low, right, left, all over the place, about 2"+ groups. The CCI is 40g rated at 1,250 FPS but I haven't chronoed the stuff yet for actual. Rifle is 18" barrel with 1:16 twist. The only thing I can think that would be causing the dispersion might be the shots going subsonic at 100Y?
Have about 1,100 rounds of WinX which is rated at 1,300 FPS but haven't tried this stuff since yesterday. Is there any advantage of going faster and stay supersonic or just look for ammo in the subsonic range? Seems 1:16 isn't a lot of spin for higher velocities.
Been shopping for different ammo with limited results. Norma Match @ 1,083 FPS looks pretty good without breaking the bank but the only place I could find is directly from Norma. Midway shows discontinued? SK Match ammo is unobtanium, Out of Stock EVERYWHERE. Eley looks good except most options rated further than 50M are almost .50 per round.
So what's a good 100Y 22LR ammo that is actually available and somewhere in the .20 +/- range?

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to remove rattle can spray paint from a carbon fiber barrel with damaging the carbon fiber wrap? Searched for a thread but couldn’t find anything specifically for a carbon fiber barrel. Thanks

Wife was reading to students today (7th grade) a book on civil rights

She read the word that shall not be named

Students ran to the office to 'rat her out' (She emailed administrators immediately) and she is now the teacher that said the n word in under 2 hours.

Bonus: it was a John Lewis memior about civil rights.

Should be a fun ride. School is primarily rural so it's mostly white and hispanic.

So I've been keeping an eye out on the interwebs for a used Bushnell LRTS in FDE for a while and came across a listing on ebay that's asking $1400 for one. Says it's new and all but that seems awfully high for a scope that's been discontinued for quite some time. Thoughts??

Here we go again

New in box TL3 with 6mm arc bolt head and new 20” stainless M24 barrel done by Keystone Accuracy. Stumbled into a dream hunting rifle over the weekend and that bill is coming at the end of the month. $1600 shipped complete or barrel and bolt $550 shipped, action $1150 shipped. WILL SELL ACTION ONCE BARREL AND BOLT IS SOLD

Hi,

I don't know what to buy as my first bolt action gun...I want my gun (6.5 creedmoor) to shoot reasonably accurately and to reach 1200 meters...that's the longest shooting range in my country. But the problem is, almost nothing is in stock in my country... it's hard to get something good...

So guns in stock are:

- Bergara b14 wilderness terrain (24 inch) for 1300eur
- Sako S20 for around 2200eur
- Sig sauer cross born and raised (stainless steel 24 inch contour barrel...) for around 2200eur
- Savage 110 elite precision 26 inch but it is 3200eur = 3500 USD so I think it is overpriced)
- tikka t3x CTR for about 1800eur

In looks I like the sig sauer the most, but I couldn't find any reviews, videos, or comparisons. So I don't know how it shoots compared to other guns.
Bergara is I think the most bang for the buck but I fear how it shoots on 1500 yards for example.

any suggestions on what to buy?

Thanks!
