Pouring a 30"×40" concrete pad on top of concrete floor?

Good move to get the safe up off the floor. Regular quickrete is fine, no PSI to worry about with for a gun safe. Use a mixer and carry it down in 1/2 filled 5 gallon buckets. I use a concrete vibrator to get rid of the voids. I think you can rent one of about $100.

You can tapcon the form.

You could skip the concrete and do a 2X12" (taller) wood box tapconned to the slab from the inside. Taller is better, brother in law go 10" of water a month ago, contents of safe probably damaged.

Does anyone stand with Berger?

I load Hornady, SMK, and Berger. My AR does a great job with Hornady, my Seekins and 6creedmoor shoot SMK bullets great, but my match rifle eats bergers because they really are just better.

There is never a second guess in my head “is it my equipment or me”, if I miss, it’s me. Last weekend I shot a pretty brutal match with some stages designed by satan. I’ve shot a ton of stuff competitively, idpa, USPSA, steel challenge, rimfire PRS, ATA trap, sporting clays, etc over the years. Some of them I’m damn good at.

Pretty sure if I wasn’t last, I was second to last last weekend but I can 100% say it wasn’t the equipment or ammo, it was me so I need to work on me and ladders and portholes, I don’t need to do another load work up. Just takes one more thing out of the equation so I stick with Berger hybrids when it counts.

Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

If the SIG is actually selling for $4500 - there are less expensive 640 options with LRF :unsure:


I'm not much of an influencer, and as noted Athlon has given me a loaner for a write up, but I believe I'm going to be writing them a check for it.
Am I reading that right that its base magnification is 6.4x? If so, that sounds awful.

Anyone shoot AAC 6.5cm ammo?

Ya, aac ammo literally has a history of damaging cans, cases blowing out, etc. Im not rich enough to buy cheap ammo. If you are, good on ya. I know, i know, "but not muh 6.5" genuinely do not care. There are absolutely too many reputable brands out there to save 3 dollars a box on a chance. Given psas history with.. well, literally everything.. its a pass.
I assume you’re referring to a batch of 223 ammo that had defective bullets? Can you post your source of this issue with 6.5mm bullets we are discussing here please?

All ammo manufacturers have had issues. I’ve had hornady ammo loaded too hot have case head separation. Should I no longer by hornady? When you shoot as much as I do you’ll run into issues with any brand eventually. I trust AAC enough to hunt with it if that says anything. I’m not exactly new to the game.

Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

Wow 700g tires are super light!
I’m running Maxxis Assagai 2.5 up front and DHR Exo+ 2.4 rear and they each come in around 1100g.
Our Rocky, ledge filled trails kill light tires pretty quick unless you’re real careful. I did notice a difference going to carbon wheels….that weight does make a difference.
Yeah I kinda figured you were probably on DHF / DHR even Double Down casing.

You should see some of the wheels I have ran over the years, sub 1200 grams taped and valved. I have issues...

I have a pair of BERD HAWK 30 wheels right now that have never had a tire mounted because they are too heavy for me at 1500g
