Thread has been stagnant for a bit but figured I would shed some light in here. Was able to bring home my first piece of hardware yesterday at Fossil Pointe out in Decatur. Was a super solid day and honestly I am not sure what clicked yesterday but it honestly just felt effortless. Dope was lined up perfectly all day, had some switchy 10-15mph gust catch me off guard mid stage but was able to correct well on the clock. dropped 9 shots on the day just 4 behind the winner. Also first match with this new JK can ( I am calling it the poor mans Maverik since you can adjust the length by adding/removing baffles ) with the RecoilX brake, bought the can last Saturday and it got approved Wednesday so I only had 2 days at home to shoot it at 50 yards but it worked great at the match. This is a huge confidence boost going into the 2 day Scorcher match here in a couple weeks in Little Rock. Hope to see some of you guys out there!

Iran go boom

M
been said elsewhere that there is at least 1 potential downside for all this. ie everyone in ME will consider getting nuc capability,esp since Israel is known to have them. that seems quite likely. Saudi can sure afford it and i doubt the US would actively stop it. Egypt would prob like to but they are broke. the oildoms could afford it but would they go there? the 4 countries we regime changed aren't capable. Jordan,Morocco,Algeria,Lebanon? Hamas,ISIS,Taliban,Hezbollah? something to think about.

Other good deal besides MPA builds

sheepdog697
Well, ended up grabbing this deal on the PX. Not sure which barrel I'll keep!

SOLD - Impact/Foundation Samson 6gt/6daseher PRS rifle

Complete PRS rifle. I built this rifle over the winter and have only fired 20 rounds though it. Here are the details: Everything was bought new!!! Impact Action Foundation Samson stock with all brass inserts. I gave the brass a weathered look. You can easily shine it back up in a sonic cleaner...

Also, lol im an idiot and am definitely getting spammers messaging me about payment. I shouldn't have put that in the ad, but I didnt want to miss grabbing the deal publicly.

Ill report back once I get it out and shoot it! Thanks for all the suggestions.

Springfield Waypoint—an owner's story of disappointment and abject failure

E
boosted said:
You came here to see an "abject failure."
A rifle with a broken firing pin and a blown-up rifle are equally useful when you are days of hiking into the backcountry and see an animal you have tags for. I titled the thread "abject failure," and that's exactly what a busted-off firing pin is. If you don't consider that failure "catastrophic" given the circumstances this rifle is intended to be used for, we just have different standards for what we'll accept out of our hunting rifles.

You're being obtuse. Catastrophic means that the process of the part failing caused other parts to be damaged or fail, or the shooter to become injured.

This wasn't catastrophic, it was a pretty basic mechanical failure, isolated solely to the failing part, and why a lot of guys take second firing pins on hunts with them. Waypoints suck, ok, big surprise. There are 100 various Rem 700 clones floating around the market right now? I can't really imagine what would entice me to take Springfield's version over Bergara, Seekins, etc, at this point.

300 Norma Magnum Build – Solid Setup or Would You Do It Differently?

HotrRod308 said:
I think the .300NM is excellent choice for what you are trying to do. I have a bone stock AXSR 27” barrel shooting 245 Hybrids at 2870fps and have run it out to 2500 with hits on steel in ELR match last weekend. You will also need to factor in a Prism if you wanna keep a 100 zero and shoot past 2500 yards.

Sounds like an awesome build you got going!!

Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

Snuby642
Ok, obligatory shot of my butts.

20250628_112042.jpg

Ready to drain and pull.

I lost my picture of the full slab of spare ribs, they were $1.39 a lb. as was the pork butts.

I prefer St. Louis cut ribs but for 30 seconds worth of knife work you can have that and whats left.

20250627_172221.jpg

Are the chine bones that has a lot of meat just hard to eat around.

I leave them neutrally seasoned and smoked to make a pot of beans with.

It takes longer to peal the skin off the back if it rips.

I don't know enough about this situation to make an informed opinion, but I DO remember reports from the beginning that terrorists were attacking these sites to either disrupt their effectiveness, or to outright steal the aid for themselves. Is it possible that what we're actually seeing is IDF overwatch operations and that those who were killed were seen preparing an attack? Something like the sniper overwatch in say, Fallujah when the Marines were going house-to-house on the streets and overwatch snipers were killing "innocent-looking civilians" whom they had observed hiding weapons or placing IEDs? My first reaction to that video was, "Automatic gunfire?" That's not a very stealthy method if you're trying to get away with something you shouldn't be doing. It's going to call attention to the operation and you'd think they would be prepared for the scrutiny that comes with it (ie, have a good reason for it).

I think you are on to something. It is not accepted, even here, to be honest about how the snipers (and their ROEs) we celebrate actually were/are used in practice. Especially against smelly potentially AK packing, toga wearing randos in dusty dry places. I think often, in practice, considering the inequality in skill and tools, it is effectively a license to kill, like 007. Yup, I’m ok with it, but let’s be honest about our process that results in Achmed getting ventilated. Now, how about drone strikes, and the extremely “flexible” ROE’s we have used them under…

you'd think they have some non-lethal options, including electronic devices that our government is reluctant to deploy.
then again we may have to accept that there is a level of animosity that we may never fully comprehend from our perspective.
