Replied

my personal,only,take is that i have no desire to see big cats,bears,sharks,orcas,barracuda,foxes,gators wiped out. i think the presence of carnivores is something that adds to the planet being a good place to live. i will say that feral cats,dogs and coyotes are a different subject. i am not a rancher,chicken worker or stock man so i understand there are other points of view. most large carnivores are probably doomed anyway.
i have seen the slaughter of sharks and it is just a sick and disgusting activity . this often comes from commercial fisherman who in my experience in FL are essentially criminal exploiters of a resource. basically corrupt gov supported economic poaching. i'd make it illegal planet wide if i had the power. of course,that would demand rational agricultural and live stock management. that will never happen.
this genetic work is fascinating but very scary. shows the ability to advance the singularity in new ways. i fear the tech will be used in ways that sci fi lit and movies have forecast many times

Ok, so now that the proper barrel cleaning procedure has been determined, I have a question, do barrel tuners work ? or not ?

It has also become more common for f-class the adjust the target so that the actual shots are either 1 to 1.5 moa high or low. In this way the shots do not shoot away the scoring rings at 3 and 9 o'clock the shottists use as aiming points.

We do the same, and quit calibrating the targets due to the constant changing of POI/POA on the screen.

With that said, shooters should be skeptical of using an E-target to establish a hard zero, unless it's their own target with confirmed calibration.

Unless you control it from seed stock to table or raise it and process it/have it processed, there is little you can do.

I get the whole health lifestyle, everything will kill you, the water you drink to the air you breathe, we are slowly killing ourselves, directly or indirectly.

Had high hopes for her, damn shame

not to put away anyones opinions as i can totally understand why alot of people may not want an RDS and they are proficient with no assistance. To revise the goal of this thread:
To those who use an RDS for Target acquisition, what MOA size dot are you using and why?
To those who use an RDS for Target acquisition, have you attempted co-witnessing the RDS with a Vortex impact 4k? any significant gains or losses?

There is one back order created by the gunsmiths. If you are in New Bedford then it is you.

ordered sir thanks

Dire Wolves for working dogs could be kinda cool if they could keep them under control. Imagine some Tier 1 unit jumping in with 1-2 of those with them.

Well here’s half of mine, waiting on the MDT chassis.

Impressive.

I had the same thing in my part of Oklahoma the first week of March. Calves started dropping, and the damn coyotes started coming in from everywhere for the afterbirth. I killed 9 in a week. I still see one every once in a while, but I think I gave myself a couple month reprieve of having to go out daily/nightly. I typically kill somewhere between 20 - 40 per year on our place. In Sep of 2023 I killed 24 in one month alone.

No mange here though (yet).

I actually don't lose calves to coyotes here, despite how many yotes are around. They are always just here for the afterbirth and colostrum calf crap.

The packs of dogs out here though are the ones I have problems with.

i thought feral dogs and coyotes ran in the same nitch and actually interbred if the yotes didn't eat the newer to the feral life dogs. no personal experience,just wondering.

PM coming
