7 x 5 = 27 🙄😂

Leap years are like wild cards. They can be added or subtracted as needed

I'd laugh harder if the whole thing was caused by HVAC. Those guys are the bane of structural integrity. I don't know what they teach them, but I do know it's not "Ask the carpenter before you hack shit out of your way." I've never had another trade do anything careless without talking to me first. It's the norm for HVAC.
Plumbers are a close second to what I have seen HVAC guys do. Third place goes to the shitty carpenters. And a lot of the shitty architects that can't do a plan for either of those trades

X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

Appreciate the response, I'm going to play that back with a bit of commentary just to confirm my understanding

Assertions
  • Only two devices can be connected at a time
  • Kestrel can transmit wind, temperature and pressure data to the Garmin
  • Vector X can transmit range, dof and inclination to the Garmin
Workflow
  1. With the Vector X asleep, turn Kestrel bluetooth on
  2. Take measurements - they should automatically stream to Garmin
  3. Turn bluetooth off on Kestrel
  4. Laze targets with Vector X and stream to Garmin Quick Target Card feature (Garmin is doing the ballistic solve)

If I have any of that incorrect please let me know.

After seeing a few threads and countless pages are there any other gotchas to be aware of regarding settings on any of the devices?
I actually never turn Bluetooth on for the kestrel, I find it easier to just input the values manually on the 901 than messing with connecting.

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

I having a surprisingly difficult time finding any info on how to adjust or remedy the extremely heavy 2 stage trigger. This is probably one of the heaviest trigger pulls I have felt on a rifle. It is crisp, but way too heavy. Backing out the set screw on top past flush is a no go since the upper receiver then contact it. I am assuming that the only fix is spring replacements. Is anyone aware of a company selling tried and tested springs? Open to other suggestions as well. Not really feeling like purchasing an aftermarket trigger, so I am working with the factory one.
I use this spring, it works fine. The second stage is adjustable to 500/550 grams (1.102/1.212 lbs).

Tariffs and ammo prices?

:rolleyes: That is getting old...



None of this addresses anything I said. If your belief is he is going about this the right way to get results...fine.
But please detail your opinion on how and why Xi Jinping is going to "blink".
Tired of talking to people like you.
But I know how to get rid of you.

Isn't ther a lib tard place you would fit in better?

Thou shall not take the king's fish(bluefin)

I've been fishing for giant blues, and the vast majority of people would not like it either cooked or raw. Think an oily, fishy blue fish or rainbow runner (bait fish IMO) and double it. As far as I know the Japanese are the only ones who eat giant blues.

For comparison when fishing for them you can use Ziki rigs to catch striped maceral and herring to use as live bait, and I'd say a good 30% of the time you would get bite offs because, off Cape Cod anyway, it is so shark infested. When you boat a giant blue you generally tail rope them and drag them in reverse for 20-30 minutes, with the fish bleeding in the water the whole time, to reduce the cortisols and give you a better test at the sales dock. Once you've drug them long enough they slash the gills with a big knife to kill the fish by exsanguinating it (also gives a better test). There are buckets of blood in the water the whole time, and even the sharks won't touch it. One explanation is that the blues swim so fast the sharks can't catch them so they're unfamiliar with the taste, but it may be because it's one of the nastiest and fishiest fish in the sea. By the captain's, whom I fish with, telling it's not good raw, and not good cooked, and not good for anything but selling to Japan.

That said, maybe you can deep fry it like a carp and it's edible. 🤷‍♀️

Ever seen a false albacore? Aka bonita here in the Gulf, aka little tuny.
Yeah....i eat them. Love em cooked or raw. There is no way a bluefin is darker and oily as a bonita.
If you do not cut the fish up correctly, then a cat wom't eat it.
There is no bad meat, only shitty butchers and cooks.
No...with all due respect i have seen bluefin meat...your observations sound like they come straight from a person who only eats codfish and haddock. No way the cuts ive seen aren't deliciious.

Edit to add:
"Only japanese eat that shit."
That really is an oldy but goody. Heard it first 30 years ago when they were trying to "save the billfish"
I fucking hate people who act like catch and release is some kind of divine religion. It is custom made for self righteous cunts.
The mantra about sailfish being inedible by anyone but them nasty japanese is complete bullshit.
Bled, field dressed, and properly iced, they are delicious. So are most species of shark. Yet we have a false narrative going on now to save the sharks...."they aren't good to eat! And they are endangered!"
BULL SHIT.

First post here, but question regarding m855 ammo

Well green tip are better for zombies and space insects.
No no no. Because of their biology, the only reasonable shot on a zombie is to the brain. Zombie skulls have the consistency of a rotting cantaloupe. You need something with fast expansion, like a vmax, or a zmax. Green tips are terrible for zombies.

(TBT, the zmax bullet was essentially just an AMAX with a green tip, and the zmax loads were essentially Hornady match in a different box. I wish I had bought every box I saw.)

Tikka T3 Thread

We had a Proof prefit fitted to a T3 which loved 123gr Nos CM. 3 shot group. Did not like 140 ELDM as much initially but after a few shots she settled in and is under 1/2" with them as well.

My super crazy load is 139gr scenars, amazing in a 24" tikka barrel. It's interesting but loads that work for the stock barrel behave the same in the proof barrels, harmonics must be very similar.
