Mine shoots fantastic.

I like that particular polish job. It isn't enough to try to mimic nickel, but it is enough to get the factory swirls in the finish out.

Some of those stainless Smiths over the years looked like they got attacked with a Brillo pad during assembly.

Yes, I agree and my 657 is in desperate need to get the scratches polished out.
Wow, that is amazing I thought your gun was a nickle gun, it looks great.
I was going to get some flitz polish and some micro fiber and see if I can get scratches out.
From seeing how yours turned out I am definitely going to polish it.
Will post results at a later date, again great pistol.

Great rifle with premium parts and that changing Texas wind laughs at you, not with you.

That wind is a killer! Ryan could absolutely shoot and had the sort of set-up that you would think of as being able to tame wind like that.

An American Bowhunter's wholesome adventure in Africa.

Paul Tudor Jones II is a legendary American bowhunter, modern frontiersman, high powered corporate leader, and a pro-hunting advocate whose conservation efforts and influence from the massive land companies he manages, have seen millions of acres of wilderness in North America and Africa preserved for future generations of outdoors sports lovers. Mr. PTJ II parties it up with members of the Hadza hunter gatherer tribe in Tanzania where his firms are currently working to protect vast swaths of safari wilderness.

In a 22 I shoot a BRA and not Dasher. I have two reamers, a long 0.160" which I got to try 95 SMKs and a 0.130" for 85.5gr Bergers or 90gr SMK.

For the reamer I'd go with a FB in the 0.115" to 0.130" range for the 85.5gr and similar projectiles.

Should have a positive effect on the P&L.

Definetly plenty of smoke and mirrors , some diversity programs might get striped but much will just be repackaged and financed as something else by State department.Folks have to understand that whole regime change package requres bunch of smoke screen in form of civil society and aid programs.

Seems that there are shit load of factions battling the government and each other. Many players financing different factions including US




In a speech on January 29, Trump specifically mentioned DOGE’s cancellation of a $45 million scholarship for Myanmar. “We also blocked $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma. Forty-five. That’s a lot of money for diversity scholarships. In Burma. Can you imagine where that money went,” he said, drawing chuckles from the audience.

He brought it up again at his first address to Congress on March 5. Behind him, both Vice President J.D. Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson gestured derision at the scholarships.

In early February, Human Rights Myanmar announced that $39.5 million in USAID funding earmarked for human rights, democracy, and media support programs has been halted. It also said that $22 million in humanitarian funding, alongside $36 million for farmers, $22 million for health programs and $30 million for education, has been suspended. In a March update, the group said Myanmar was on track to lose around $1.1 billion in foreign assistance over the second Trump term.

That union took almost as much pipe as your mom, almost.

So "Jetblast" (Jet Blast on the site) is more effective than Jet4?

Click to expand...

Yes, the Jet4 was designed for a specific goal to maximize performance like the JB but not spread blast on people around it. Overall it's *almost* as effective but since you're looking for best performance the Jetblast is your ticket.

On my 300 PRC, 300 Norma, and 338 Norma I use APA Fat Bastards. It does a great job at reducing recoil. You could also try a Terminator.

Click to expand...

The PVA Shockwave reduces recoil at least as well all of those without blasting you in the face with muzzle concussion. Doesn't mean they're bad products, but the concussion on my head is not accceptable no matter how effective the brake performance is on recoil.

That Gen 2 1-6 Razor is the only optic I run without red dot for CQB without feeling I could do better with red dot on top

It really is an amazing scope. I hope they kerp
It forever

The optics of the K16i Kahles are close but at nearly 2x the price and their fucked up reticles, the Gen 2 is an easier call.

Honestly we shouldn't have to hope they keep it as there's obviously still a place for this type of optic, and honestly it pisses me off nobody's out there tryin' to make the 1-6x smaller, lighter, better but keeping the image of the Gen2 as the yardstick (and not devolving into NX8 soda straw territory)

They claim to have done all of that research on causation and yet they completely failed to mention you?

BTT

Any weed killer effectivness depends on when its used , you want the spray it when growth is most active so stuff is actualy absorbed and recirculated to root system. When you apply it in hot summer plants are near hybernating so stuff never reaches roots.

Is this continuing on from the last coup/civil war ? help me out here. I can't figure out which side the CCP feeding weapons to ? and which side that US spooks feeding weapons ?

I can upload some pictures once I get home, since they are still on the card for my scope or at least I hope I took pictures before cleaning the barrel last night.
