@DarnYankeeUSMC , I’m just wondering how someone with “Yankee” in their name is telling people not to move to Tennessee because it’s full. 🤣. I will add that the corner around the Bristol area is some of the prettiest country I’ve ever seen. We have a house in Ashe county NC, right beside there. Beautiful place.
Father was nomadic so I have lived in about every part of the country. My first visit here was in 87 and decided that once out of the USMC that I would move here and never leave. I got out in 91 and headed right here. I quickly found out that iffin ya ain't from here (born here) yer a Yankee. Doesn't matter where you're from except for a few states that they use specific terms for like Alabama, Florida and a couple others.

Accuracy International Picture Thread

Finally got ahold of an AXSR again. I tossed an MDT grip on it, but I’m not entirely sure I like it much more than the Ergo grip.
Double checked action torque and we’re ready about ready to punch some mile targets.

Play with the angle some. I wasn't sure about it at first either but now I can't believe I waited so long to make the move.

Barrel flats, any one use them?

I use AI's Borka's little wrench and snug it up without ever having RTZ issues. I wish I had Rubenski's posts to reference because I believe I came to the same conclusion as him: Anything over 40 ft.lbs. is good to go, but you have to be consistent in whatever force you decide on.

I didn't have issues going hand tight only (no idea on the force), but use the wrench for consistency and reliability.

Physical Fitness Effective joint supplements

I’ve had joint issues pop up after a few years of lifting and running. Tried glucosamine and magnesium like others mentioned, but what actually helped me most was a combo of consistent mobility work, dropping a bit of weight, and keeping a closer eye on what I eat. Inflammation seems to flare up a lot faster now if I’m not paying attention to diet or hydration.
Carbs/sugar in my diet show up within 24 hrs in knee and shoulder inflammation. No particular injuries, just worn out.

Ebay scam

So I ordered a Burris XTR pro on ebay knowing it was likley a scam. Buy it now 642 dollars, let's take a swing. I see the seller joind just a couple days prior. After I purchase I see the sellers name is Jonaten from Broomfeild CO. At 2 am after purchase a shipping label is is made that goes active.

Here is where the plot thickens. After ebay mandatory 5 day wait I request refund for the item that hasn't shipped. The scammer pulls a switcheroo and changes the tracking to number to one that shows delivered in mailbox lamar colorado. 🤯😳 and says delivered see.

Now what the shit. I know for a fact the only thing delivered to my house Wednesday was a single peice of junk mail. And an xtr pro fitting in my mailbox. 🤔🤔🤔

So I am off to usps and who knows where I live already when I show up. 🤣🤣🤣 They get me detailed tracking for the new 1 2 switcheroo tracking number. A 7oz package with 4.35 postage was delivered to a diffrent address in town.

So, is this what the seeds in the mail were and are all about? I kind of want to go onock on the door and see if they got an unexpected package. What if it had a return address on it. 🤔 Greer South Carolina is where it came from. Where was theis from again? Wait that's lawnmowers. 🤣🤣🤣

NEW- Swarovski Z5+/Z5i+ Riflescopes

My understanding is the Z5+ is optically on par with the Z8's
Field and stream claim that the Z5+ 2-10x42 model is not equipped with HD lenses, but the rest of the line is, can you confirm this?

Trump surrenders to AQ Emir

Isn't it WEIRD that we have better relations with an al Qaeda Emirate than we do with CANADA?

Why would we not kill Abu Mohammed al Jolani rather than pay him and arm him? He was co-equal in the hierarchy with Abu Mussab al Zarqawi during the War...

What good reason would the American President have to surrender to al Qaeda?

It's SO weird because all the AQ guys lined up and delivered their instructions to Trump... OK, good- now kill them.

Why would he be following their orders?

Kahles vz ZCO

I too have a 624i and I really like it. Also have 2 NF 15x55 comps also. None have given me a problem. If the Kahles had more magnification I use it all the time. Like the reticle more on the Kahles. My understanding is Zco and Kahles glass both come from Austria. Hmmmm. Looked thru a Zco I didn’t see any noticeable difference, that’s me. I’d say the service sounds like would be a big factor though to me. Sounds like Zco is great for that. JMO

ZCO's lenses and reticle come from Germany and are not the same prescription, if you can't see a difference between a K624i and a ZCO with a diopter set up for you than it might be your eyes... Seriously, not an insult.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

Yep and they think we're to dumb to know when we're getting fucked....again...and...again...

Trump surrenders to AQ Emir

I refuse to read foreign policy analysis by a dude who may have earned a D+ in Political Science in JuCo. However, I will still glance at it for entertainment purposes, as well as an assessment of how much weight I will put into trusting their opinions elsewhere.

I've got the others beat at this point at 12 minutes wasted, and if I wasn't taking a huge dump right now I'd be pretty *grunts* upset by it.
