The shot in boot camp that they made you sit down afterwards and it felt like a softball. I won't forget that shot

Growing up in the mountains of east TN and western NC, I only ever got to shoot out to a maximum of 100yds. Got a friend with land in south GA, and I'll never forget my first shot beyond 100yds that started my addiction for long-range shooting.

A hundred+ yard shot on an American antelope (pronghorn) running at a full sprint. 20" Sauer Model 90 in .270with a full mannlicher stock. I was 16. RTR

Might as well throw in Autotrickler V5 too.

Only if they revert to more of a V3 structure

As long as you have enough clearance to account for the tolerances your working in (sizing variations, etc)plus some fouling or dirt/debris, you're good.

Fairly certain its MPCT2, but I'll have to double check when I get home.

My favorite AGM thermal! Get you one.

Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna go for the R45 rather than the R9. I think it'll serve well for those guns that I dont shoot as often. Who knows? My 9mm PCC with the R45 may become my favorite toy.

There's just so little info on this particular can. I found one fairly comprehensive review on it.

Heck, the Fat Cat isn't getting much love either, but that little can has shocked me with its performance.

Back when I was young and newlywed my wife and I went fishing and hunting.

It was opening day of early teal season. Got to the pond a little late, (you know, newlyweds) and went to toss out a handful of decoys and spotted 3 teal coming in.

I got the shotgun and hid under an oak tree. They were circling in a tight pattern.

I mounted the gun and swung it on the lead ducks beak and slapped the trigger on the Remington 1100 and all 3 birds fell.

The young dog on his first cripple was a rodeo but he got it without a slapper.

I emptied the gun and stuck it in a sleeve. My wife asked why I was putting it up.

Early teal season limit 3 per day. Lol

Only triple on ducks I ever got and my wife thought I was a badass.

I read this whole thread and I'm disappointed we were all left hanging from FredHammer's melt down. I wanna know how the lawsuit went.

So, the Tubbs final finish and Thorroclean arrive tomorrow. I'll get my shit together the next few days and report how the barnacle reduction goes. It'll be a separate post with all it's glory. LOL

The highland desert in Northern CA. I made a 150yd shot on a mourning dove that was sunning itself. Just like above, the grey feathers just floated along on the rising warm air.

My second one made with the same heavy barrel Ruger varmint rifle. It was chambered in 22-250. A friend name Chris and I were walking ridges in Northern CA looking for pigs or whatever else we could find. From the top of the ridge to an open pond on the valley floor about 700yds yards away. I was feeling mean and decided to shoot a duck that was just enjoying his day. I broke out my topo's and check the distance, about 700yds. I went prone and pretty much guessed my holdover and sent it. I obviously was shooting downhill and hit the duck right in the middle of it's back and just ruined the poor duck. Since I shot the beasty and it was edible, I walked down the hills to the pond and had to swim to retreive the duck.

Neither of my shots were a form of legal taking of migratory birds but is sure was funny, I still snicker to myself about the grey cloud of feathers floating along in the breeze.

I have witnesses for both shots. I absolutely loved that rifle, I shot it so much that I kinda got good a lucking things in.

up

Mount is sold. Optic available still.

My question:
Should I size to:

• 1.556″ → almost no bump,
• or
• 1.554″ → 0.002″ bump like everyone advises?

My goal is precision, and good brass life. I’m leaning toward 1.556″ – but curious what others here would do in this case.

Thanks for your input!

Make it 1.555 and split the difference. It may or may not have fully grown. If 1.556 feels fine then leave it there, not really a critical decision.

Yeah they have been good. I'm not upset at them or anything or even blaming them as I don't know exactly what happened. I submitted a receipt for the ammo and they have offered to reimburse me for the remaining two bricks I have and a replacement magazine.

The only thing I have to work out is in order to be reimbursed I need to have the ammo destroyed at "my local Sheriff's department" and have a receipt issued. I have left a message at my local RCMP detachment to see if they can help me with that.

It's been so long I can't remember what my buddy did with the left over ammo. Hopefully the Sheriffs can help you destroy the ammo.

Looks like an awesome unit if IR illumination is what you need in addition to all the other WMLRF capabilities out there!

There’s really only a handful of 3b units out there that I know of. Most of them is already legacy ones. One of them is the Raptar s which I already have. What else is out there?

308win,168gr Berger and a 10X Supersniper scope Remington 710.
100 yards on a little small bird of some sorts. The bird was in a bush and was swinging in the 30++++mph gust. I was told I couldn't do it along with some other trash mouthing. So, well I had to try. I got pron and watch the bird go from center dot to out side of the scope view and then back in. I just luckily timed it and POOF little birdies feather flew... It was 200 percent luck.

Have 2 witness's

Feminists


More feminists. All of them.


However, i do see their point of calling out other women for feminism and hypocrisy. But time will reveal they are like the pot calling the kettle black.

That's true but what I like about the women that are calling out the conservative covert feminists, is that they recognize they also have that feminist trait in their DNA and that they need to deal with it.

The covert feminists don't think that they are feminists. The women that declare themselves to be feminists are more honest than the covert ones calling themselves the trad-wives.
