Instead of a 747 from Boeing which is now 60 year old tech (yeah, I know… lots of upgrades over the years…). But still so 1970.

How about Space-X develop an up-to-date SST to replace Concord. So the President can be anywhere in the world in a few hours….

For the first time in modern history we are saying things like “remember when we could get from London to NY in 2 hours? Remember when we had a reusable shuttle to space…

We need a new SST!

Didn't they bitch about supersonic flights because of the noise? Especially in england where the concord was always taking off and landing.

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

Is there any features that the AB Quantum app is missing compared to a Kestrel 5700 AB?
If I use the app with a cheaper, non AB kestrel am I giving up anything compared to the 5700?

Maybe I should just take the plunge into a 5700, but I've always liked using a phone (larger screen = more info available at a glance and easier to input) so would like to just use AB Q if I'm not giving up any core/useful features.
I don't think you are sacrificing anything.

DOF and wind direction will be easier to capture directly on the 5700 but if you don't mind transferring that over NBD.
The Kestrel is a bit clunky to use at first but once you get a handle on it, it's easy.

Just because the Air Force is going to go through it, doesn’t mean something ain’t broke. And software could be lurking somewhere in an important system.
None of those people are our friends. If he takes it, it should be exclusively used by Congress or the press. That way if it falls out of the sky, well “Oopsie”. I wouldn’t step foot on it.

The odds of a purple haired freak in our current government trying to sabotage Air Force One because OrangeManBad are higher than Qatar sabotage tbh

BTW: that's a lot of velocity for a 20" barrel using Varget behind a 169 gr bullet. :eek: I only came close to that using Pro 2000MR out of 20" barrel with 168 SMK's.
With a 20" barrel best groups should be around 2500-2550 fps with the 168 and 169 and probably about 2475 to 2520 fps with the 175 with target. I agree on the 2000MR comment and it was a crappy powder to shoot. Way too slow for the 20" barrel. I was in the 2650 range with it if I remember correctly.
But can anyone explain this with the 168 TMK?
If you are talking about the 44.4 gr Varget 168 shot then that looks to be shooter induced.

Impact of Bipod on Recoil/spotting hits/misses??

While I did just email Mr. Phillips to ask, any theories as to why he found the Accutac Ski Feet to be superior to the wider Sled Feet?

My guess would be less surface area to possibly cause a bump during recoil in the Ski design as compared to the sled.

I would say that is mostly anecdotal.
Probably saw less vertical in one or two instances and just rolled with it.
I've got both and I will say the ski can pivot to follow the angle of the ground where the sled feet don't.

It is against the FAR'S for any civilian to fly supersonic over any part US land. This is why concord only flew over ocean routes.

Government money is not needed to build supersonic jets. Private funds will build then if Governments remove regulatory impediments to their use.

NEW! MDT SEND IT GEN2 \\ Electronic Rifle Level

@flyer1a y'all gonna make a mount or would one be better off getting the pic version to run on the match pic rail?
We are, but it will not be immediate. MDT is supposed to be sending out a tech pack for people like us any time, once we have that we will begin to produce very quickly.

I think in the near future you'll see new mounts from us for the SendIt Gen2, the SG Pulse, and the SG Pulse Pro.

Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!

It’s totally you. You’re cherry picking sentences to get it to say what you want it to say, instead of considering the whole book and its message, probably because you’re listening to the leader of a cult and not a man of God.
I agree with you fully in your above post. I would just like to address the quotation you had from me about Daniel. (Unless you meant to be quoting the other guy, if so I apologize) Here I was not trying to give a whole theology about Daniel. This was part of an exchange between CaptNkm and several other people. He kept saying there was nowhere in scripture where we see a plurality in God. He was given multiple verses, but continued to not address them or consider them. He continued to ignore what was put in front of him with multiple OT texts. I continued to ride him on Daniel 7:3-14, because it shows the plurality he asked for. I was not trying to illustrate or interpret prophecy, I was giving it because he asked for proof of the Trinity or plurality in the OT. Here in Daniel and many other texts, it shows that. Obviously the message of Daniel is much more than this one selection, but that was not the point.

When people come in trying to proof text a limited number of verse, then build a whole theology on only those cherry picked verses, sometimes you have to throw a proof text “wrench” in their gears. This hopefully gives them pause and hopefully makes them think twice about their conclusions. Obviously this is not how I approach scripture as a whole and approach it with all contexts and redemptive story in mind, but even Jesus occasionally proof texted the religious leaders (who think legalistically like these guys) to show they were thinking incorrectly about things
