Y'all laugh but in the small town I grew up in we had a guy who went by Doodlebug. He was raised by his aunt and grandmother. All they had was feedsack dresses so thats what he wore. Long greasy hair down to the middle of his back you'd see him walking to town and back in his dress and brogan boots. Doodle didnt bother anyone and anyone who was stupid enough to bother him regretted it. Two cops tried to arrest him for drunk in public and one ended up in the hospital.

Long range 22 LR

D
tl;dr: Unless there's some additional reason to go with the T1X, aftermarket support for CZ is better.
------
From what I've seen at the range and at matches, CZ rules the factory-rifle space. The only T1x experience I have is through a guy I used to shoot with; he bought one of the early T1Xs which shot fine for a few dozen rounds and then it lost accuracy until it was cleaned. That was years ago.

I haven't seen a CZ 457 Varmint or MTR that doesn't shoot very well. I’m There was a guy at the range last night with a 457 in an MDT ACC chassis, pounding away on a 6-inch plate at 295 yards. He had a Lilja drop-in barrel on it. If I was going to do a factory rifle, I'd find a cheap-o 457 variant, put it in something like a KRG Bravo, and replace the barrel. I've heard mixed reviews of the Lilja drop-ins, but the one I saw last night was a hammer.

Boeing down in India

R
None of these guys are trained investigators...none of them are on their airline/union investigation/go teams.

You know how I know? Because they cant keep their fucking traps shut with all the speculation.

First rule of fight club: keep your fucking mouth shut. There is one mouth piece and thats the lead investigating authority. Every work group in an investigation has a head guy who is part of the lead investigating authority. If you are on his group you talk only to him if you find or suspect anything in your small world of the investigation. He talks to the guy running the big show. If you breach this you will get tossed. Hell Boeing almost got tossed from several investigations.

If you are a youtube jackoff you are not privy to anything that has been found unless you are there sorting out "airplane parts in dumpster A and body parts in dumpster B"... so shut the fuck up. Biggest gripe on youtube is the author can delete your comments so you cant even call these guys out and tell them to shut the fuck up as "one professional to another"...

I like the people who still speculate over the Malaysia 777 disappearance... you know...the one where they STILL have never found the aircraft, any evidence of the aircraft, etc...

We may finally know who’s been to the island

You’re also forgetting this isn’t a secret anymore. From a security/intelligence standpoint a metric fuckton of people have now seen the evidence. There is something huge we’re missing or don’t know. Conspiracies always fail because too many people know about them, and this one should have failed a long time ago. The whole Kennedy Assassination is still a conspiracy because of how small the number of people in on it who could keep their mouths shut. This is totally different. This has been touched by dozens or hundreds of people now.

It’s a guess, but I think it’s leverage over foreign leaders rather than American politicians, because I don’t believe all the people that know could be THAT morally compromised. Unless it’s lizard, mind control aliens.

Easy to be an absolutist and clean as the driven snow from your keyboard, and thinking everything is an evil plot against the American people is also without consequence. Much different having to actually make the call when it’s clear as mud, and gaming it out is impossible.

I’m not trying to make excuses for all these people, just trying to come up with a plausible explanation that’s doesn’t involve aliens or Big Foot (who is real btw).

Your PVA prefit experience

D
Barrel break in loads were with varying charges of 8208XBR: 21.0, 21.4, 21.8, 22.2, 22.6, 23.0gr, new Lapua brass, CCI400s, and 77gr SMKs.

The load in the other image was with 23.4gr of Varget. Lapua brass on the left and IVI brass on the right, both fireformed and fully prepped. I get the same results with LC and Starline brass after fireforming too. My current load is 24.8gr of Varget in LC brass, but found Benchmark and 8208XBR as good alternatives, charges between 22.8-23.6gr were all good.

I've also had good results with 80.5 Berger Fullbores with 23.4gr of Varget in Lapua brass.

I had a dually on a lift once, and in my hurry I “ran” around the back of it….and head smacked a load leveling hitch. Blood flew, I was almost knocked out.

After a few minutes of recovery and a bandage I went back to my work and after about 10 minutes I again ran my head …. Hard…. Into that hitch.

I clocked out.

Is he talking about Deere or ?

He is...jokingly.

If I'm being honest, grew up Red. Ran Green for many years. They both have pro's/con's and what actually makes/breaks it all is the quality of your local dealer/service. Both have left me stranded in the middle of a field.

Best flow through suppressor

H
thedude824 said:
I’ve been looking to add a couple suppressors for a while and have bounced around. Fortunately the vendor was understanding when I cancelled my initial order. I finally decided tonight on a new can and I bought 2.
First I needed a can for my girls setups in 6.5 Grendel and 556. I had considered the B&T SRBS 762, another HUXWRX Flow 762, CAT ODB 718, and SilencerCo Velos LBP 762. The free stamps helped me move now and not wait until the $200 stamps were officially ended.
I also wanted a second can for my rifles.
Up to this point I’ve used the Flow 762 on my SCAR 17, two 6.5 Grendel’s, and my 14.5” AR. I’m rebuilding my 300blk out with more premium parts and intend to use it for Night Vision shoots likely with subs. For that reason the Flow was simply not an option. I’ve got a 46M that stays with my MRAD, but the videos I watched didn’t show the best suppression.
I planned on the FDE Flow for my girls setups, but unfortunately the tax stamp deal was done on those. The others (except the Velos) were HUB and would require a $190 HUB to HUXWRX mount and more very expensive HUXWRX mounts. It seemed like a pretty obvious choice. I purchased 2 Velos LBP 762. I thought it would be cool to compare the HUXWRX to the Velos on my 556, but closest I have available is a buddy with a 16” AR and Flow 762. I’m seriously considering the 556 endcap for the Velos to showcase “best case” for each system. The 556 endcap is only $95.
I’ve been very pleased with the Charlie system on my MRAD so I’m not terribly upset about having my rifles split between HUXWRW and Charlie.
I WILL be able to compare my 13.9” Grendel with the Flow 762 to my girls 14.5” Grendel with the Velos LBP 762 as soon as they arrive. Unfortunately, again, it won’t be apples to apples. My 13.9” is DI while her 14.5” is piston. Hopefully PEW science comes out with some definitive numbers soon. I shoot at an indoor range so my subjective opinion may be vastly different than someone shooting outside.

No matter what decision you make, you will end up with a box full of unused adapters and mounts. Just accept it.
