So will the Nobel Committee screw Trump over???

Given how desperate he was for Nobel prize, he should just have sent couple of B2s to circle over Norway till they give him the Prize :ROFLMAO:


With hours to go until the announcement of this year’s Nobel peace prize, Norwegian politicians were steeling themselves for potential repercussions to US-Norway relations if it is not awarded to Donald Trump.

Mr Trump has long been outspoken about his belief that he should be awarded the peace prize, an honour previously bestowed on one of his presidential predecessors, Barack Obama, in 2009 for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”.

In July, Mr Trump reportedly called Jens Stoltenberg, Norway’s finance minister and the former Nato secretary general, to ask about the Nobel prize.

The newspaper columnist and analyst Harald Stanghelle speculated that retribution from Mr Trump – if it were to come – could take the form of tariffs, demands for higher Nato contributions or even declaring Norway an enemy.

After some talks behind the scenes it was decided to give the price to a different person than Trump but with the very obvious intent to also satisfy Trump by furthering a major foreign policy aim of his:

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado who lives in hiding after attempting to run against President Nicolás Maduro.

Machado, 58, was recognized for keeping “the flame of democracy burning amidst a growing darkness” and “ever-expanding authoritarianism in Venezuela.”

She leads the Vente Venezuela opposition party, but was blocked from running as the nation’s president and expelled from office in 2014. She now lives in hiding and faces “serious threats against her life,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.

Midwest Powders Discussion

As a new customer of American Reloading components, I think their data is conservative and may or may not match a commercially available powder. For example, I had purchased some MP-610 (pull down Staball 6.5?) which per their data should yield 2700 fps from 43 gr with a 130 gr bullet in 6.5 Creed. What 130 gr bullet that is, no one knows. My subsequent brief testing with a few ladders was able to easily get 2650 out of some 140 SST's, and 2750+ with 130 TGK's, all while not exceeding their load max. All of the loads were very mild and nowhere the "Snipers Hide" max loads if you catch my drift.

To utilize these a chronograph and good understanding of load workup is a must.

As much as it would be great to have a thread with reliable load data for these, there is too much variation for this to be reliable or trustworthy between lots and various powder designations.

XM2010 chassis screw question

I went through the same process last year, ha!

The FHCS's I got at ACE have YFS stamped on the top. The original ones that came on my chassis were unmarked. If you want the original ones from Remington you can get them here for $8.99 each:


I just replaced all mine with the ones from ACE since the hex heads were worn and I had to cut a new slot to extract one.

A "Publi walk" now?

Awwwwwww you are gonna hurt my feelings. Except comments from a faggot wearing crocs don't hurt my feelings.

I'm sure the public will feel a lot safer to see you in a grocery store carrying your $300 dollar gun. Watching you whip out your EBT card and buy frozen pizza rolls by the case will be the icing on your classy cake.

Maybe you can regale a few passersby with a story of how you almost served, or almost became a cop or almost had sex with a woman or small farm animal. I hear they love that stuff. Throw in an I'm from New York or Jersey for bonus points.

Zermatt Origin or Defiance Classic

Noob here. I did a quick Google on push feed vs CRF. It appears the Origin is the latter. In practical terms for long range shooting and PRS, what are the trade-offs? Thank you!

None with the Zermatt. The older traditional CRF wouldn’t let you single feed without possibly damaging the bolt but you can with an Origin as they are designed to be able to single feed also.

OP get the Origin.

New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

So glass is as good as Zeiss Leica etc ?

I was told leupold
Ish
I found the glass to be as good as Leica Geovid Pro's. The Vector X is a little better in resolution and has a larger Fov. The Leica has significantly better color. I have not had it side by side with Zeiss's rangefinder. Without question I consider the Vector X to be top tier in glass quality for laser rangefinding binos.

I was able to zap building and land marks that where up to 7500 yards away. Wow.

7,500 yards is an impressive number to hit on anything.

A "Publi walk" now?

You're wrong, you have lots of issues.
No wonder you never made senior or chief. Too stupid.

Took forever to get this state to change laws and I intend to make sure it doesn't go to waste.

I've had a CHL / LTC since the law was put on the books.
As far as open carry I like to make liberal shits cry and whine about it like the fools you and they are.

You don't like the law of the land, get it changed like we did or just move to some Communist shithole and shut up your 😭

Did you not read my preemptive crying post above?

March bendy spotter

March showing of a new spotting scope of sorts at Extreme Shot Italia V. 4-12 OCT 2025 , kinda king of two miles without 2 miles

The 2026 model March Tracking Scope is attracting a lot of attention @Extreme Shot Italia V. 4-12 OCT. Thanks to its gimbal system, it can move 26 degrees in any direction within a full 360-degree range, allowing shooters to easily locate targets with slight movements of the scope. You can choose between a reticle or no reticle, and when a reticle is included, it can be matched with the same reticle design as the scope. It’s lightweight and easy to carry.
*Picture is the production model. The specifications are based on the prototype and may change. For production model, MTR-WTD SFP, FML-WTD FFP especially designed for the tracking scope and FML-WTB FFP a variant of FML-WBR in 5-42x56genll PRS edition will also be available. Orders will be accepted starting from the IWA exhibition in March, 2026.


The new Tracking scope 8-80X56 SFP will be available without a reticle, or with any of the existing Majesta reticles. The 6-60X56 FFP Tracking scope will be available without a reticle of with the existing FML-WBR reticle, and the new FML-WTB reticle. So, if you want the same reticle in your riflescope to be in the corresponding Tracking Scope, you got it. The FML-WTB, is a brilliant concept where the full FML-WBR reticle is pushed down in the view to provide a more uncluttered view.
There are two new reticles for the Tracking Scopes, one for the 8-80X56 SFP, the MTR-WTD, and one for the 6-60X56 FFP, the FML-WTD. These reticles bring in some new concepts aimed at observing and tracking the shots, rather than aiming the shots.
The MTR-WTD is intended for wind coaches in team matches, or for the individual competitor to help gauge the wind. The reticle is an amalgam of three concepts; there is a Trace Zone to help measure the trace of the bullet. There is the Splash Zone with concentric circles to measure the offset of the impact, if needed. And finally, there is a Sawtooth Mirage Gauge intended to help gauge the amplitude and direction of the mirage river. More details soon.
The FML-WTD is a first focal plane reticle that has an extended Trace Zone, and a Splash zone with concentric rings. The Trace Zone extends 20MIL at 6X, and can be incremented by 5MIL, up to 30MIL, thus providing 50MIL of elevation to measure trace. A special app is available to calculate the apex of the trajectory for the specified load, conditions and distance to target. The app also calculates the elevation needed to get to the target. By knowing the expected apex of the trace, one can aim the 6-60X56 FFP Tracking Scope at the target and just observe the trace and see how high it gets and compare the observation to the expected results. Again, more details soon.
