Did Kanye West's account get hacked?

Everybody kinda figured something was wrong when he launched those T-shirts last year that featured a big swastika in the middle. He went from 'based, redpilled, he's on our side', to completely going off the rails in a short span. But this, if it was actually posted by him, is a new level of insanity. Damn...

OP you don’t need a 70 degree bolt throw. Been doing this over 30 years and never used anything but 90s and no issues at all on many rifles. That whole fear of scope issues is bolstered by companies selling 60-75degree bolt throw actions.

Glad you steered towards a steel barrel. I have a 27” 7 twist .223 Wylde chambered by PVA and it shoots the 75 ELDs great! I screwed it on my .308 TL3 action and it ran great. Don’t sweat magazines. Get some MDT polys and run them. I load mine at .020” off the lands in the Wylde chamber which has a .62 freebore. If you plan to mostly shoot the 77 and below the Wylde does a great job.

What actions are your .308 and 6.5? You may just be able to pop a barrel on one of them.

I think it was the "Arakwe". One of the much older Dixie Gun Works Black Powder Annuals had an excerpt on it. Strange but apparently true and the captain's quick wits secured the ironclad from being stormed. There was no Wisconsin named boats on the Civil War era ship roster but Wisconsin AKA BB-64 made legends of it's own when it's 16 inchers vaporized the entire top of a mountain housing North Korean coastal artillery positions during the Korean War...

Back in the day, most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. Since they were starting to smell, however, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women, and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it … hence the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the Bath water!”Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof, resulting in the idiom, “It’s raining cats and dogs.”There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed, therefore, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence.The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, leading folks to coin the phrase “dirt poor.”The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way, subsequently creating a “thresh hold.”In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while, and thus the rhyme, “Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.”Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, “bring home the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and “chew the fat.”Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the “upper crust.”Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up, creating the custom of holding a wake.They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.”But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot; they “didn’t have a pot to piss in” & were the lowest of the low.The next time you are washing your hands & complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Oh im not afraid of 90 degree actions lol and never had issue, i just want a shorter throw action And my other ones are Tikka and TRG 22. they are both setup the way i like and dont really want to rebarrel those for now, just want a dedicated very good .223 rifle. I'm not opposed to spend money on quality parts so thats why i asked for your guys input. I do alot of research before I spend the money usually and 99% of the time the end result is trouble free.
Having said all that bs, I mostly have experience with AR platform in that caliber, be it built by me or someone else, bolt gun in todays world with so many options is a bit overwhelming. AR i know exactly what I need to build a fantastic rifle, bolt gun is like voodoo since its been a very long time since i had a rifle built. Now, with all the actions, prefit barrels, and stock options i figured i need some outside input before i spend $$$$$
