A historical and cultural anomaly.

Now that Im in Oklahoma I've had the chance to be around the bison and learned about them. I always thought bison and buffalo were the same or almost the same critter. Not so, and in fact the buffalo is not native to America. They are native to Africa, and Asia.

Buffalo.

The bison, however is native to the Americas.

So where, you ask, is the anomaly?

William F Cody, aka 'Buffalo Bill' should have been 'Bison Bill'.

Buffalo Bob Smith (re" Howdy Doody) should have been 'Bison Bob Smith'.

The Buffalo Bills should be the 'Bison Bills'.

The Buffalo Soldiers should be the 'Bison soldiers'.

This could be game changing.

SOLD McMillan A3-5A, Rem700 SA, $500 shipped

This has been sitting in my closet for a few years. I've kept it around thinking I'd build something on it, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Stock has never been shot in competition nor taken hunting. It was skim bedded for a 700 5R and includes a Picatinny rail to attach a bipod.

I also bought a 1" Decelerator recoil pad to complement the 1/2" stock pad. Both are included as well as the stock spacer kit to increase/decrease LOP. BDL bottom and varmint/sendero contour but can be opened up to MTU/M40/Competition contour.

SOLD Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 CM (FS/FT)

For sale is a Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Round count on the barrel is ~2,200 and it was still shooting well when I moved the optic to a new build a while ago.

This rifle would make a good candidate to shoot for a while and then drop in a prefit of your choice.

Price is $750 shipped to your FFL, I can also meet FTF in the Huntsville, AL area.

Trade interests: Zermatt Origin action or Stainless Tikkas, especially in .223 or .300 WSM.

Woman Beheaded in Broad Daylight on Silicon Valley Street

A woman was beheaded by a sword-wielding assailant on a residential street in the Silicon Valley town of San Carlos, California, on Thursday in front of horrified onlookers. The man was later arrested, with police receiving counseling.

NBC Bay Area reported:

A woman’s head was severed with a sword in San Carlos Thursday, authorities with knowledge of the investigation told NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit.
The suspect, who returned to the scene, was arrested in connection with the woman’s death, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect was later identified as Jose Landaeta Solano.
Deputies near the intersection of Laurel Street and Magnolia Avenue were flagged down at about 11:50 a.m. by witnesses who reported an assault in progress, the sheriff’s office said. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found the woman dead.
Local ABC News 7 added:

During a press conference, Lieutenant Eamon Allen said that the crime happened in the street outside the victim’s residence.
Lieutenant Allen said that the victim had two children, who did not witness the crime, and sources tell the I-Team’s Dan Noyes the kids were inside the house at the time.

We’re told the two were in an ongoing relationship but law enforcement sources say the victim got a temporary restraining order against the suspect, Hayward resident Jose Solano Landaeta, in April.
The San Francisco Chronicle noted that police and witnesses, some of whom were distraught, had been provided with counseling.

Police said Thursday evening that they were still working to recover the murder weapon.


Bet he's out on bail tomorrow morning.

What type of barrel rifling is this?

Relatively new to rimfire and very new to CZ 457 aftermarket barrels.

This Lothar-Walther aftermarket barrel shoots better than my stock 16", no keyholes.
To prep for an upcoming match, I was going to cleaning my chamber and look for carbon ring, so I popped in my newly acquired bore scope.
To my surprise, it was hard to find any rifling, at least compared to the CZ, Ruger, and Kidd barrels.

For the more experienced, what am I looking at? Is this polygonal rifling, a manufacturer defect, or are the rifling worn out/damaged?
I've done very minimal cleaning initially, no copper or steel brush, just nylon brush and a few patches with Boretech Rimfire Blend down the barrel with an .17" Tipton rod and plastic eyelet.

Thank you for your advice and help in advance.

223 rounds dent during seating

Loading some Hornady 62gr spire point bullets and there is a ring dent about 40% of the way down the visible portion of the bullet. I have some bullets from an unknown company that are 62gr spire point also and they have a minuscule mark and no dent. Using Dillon dies. Does anyone have any suggestions? I see one popular video that touts a light sanding at the mouth of the die but have no idea how valid that idea is. The unknown bullets are .224" and the Hornady's are .223" Dents happen with sized neck no ream and with ream.

How bad can dents be before they effect accuracy?
