Interested in foundation if you split this up.

Those who are uncomfortable with judicial executions are not being honest about the future they are creating. Eventually there will be a reckoning where random citizens mete out violent street justice on the possibly guilty.

Good evening SH,
Got a 457 Pro Varmint headed to my LGS. Looking for any/all advice on where to start. No plans for heavy mods at this time, but trigger mods, action screw testing, and bolt shims are some of the things I’m aware of.

Other with the Pro Varmint owners, any particular ammo/velocities you’ve found that yours favors?
TIA

Depending on your ammo selection and headspace measurement, bolt shims were cheap and effective way to improve accuracy in my Pro Varmint.
Pillar bedding was +/- since mine liked lighter action torque settings so i'd only recommend if the bolt shims and lighter trigger weight doesn't help.
Also, the comb height was too low on the Pro Varmint for me with a FFP scope, you may want to consider adding some check height with something like the Victor Titan cheek riser.
YMMV, happy shooting

So it will be like the Iran-Iraq war back in the day, except with extra jet action.

Even with the technology we had in the 1980s, we would not have fought the Iraq-Iran War like that.

Neither side had any D/SEAD capability to speak of, let alone matured electronic order of battle collection and exploitation capes.

Neither side had US cruise missiles, decoy missiles, satellites, and high altitude reconnaissance.

They would have been pummeled and attrited rapidly, with US establishing air superiority very quickly, followed by D/SEAD against SAM and AAA, in-parallel with deep strikes against airfields and C3 nodes by F-111F and A-6Es.

We simply don’t fight like other nations because they never invested in the type of force structure we have, because they can’t afford one like us.

I’m not so sure. Last I heard out of EUCOM is that Russia has emerged from this conflict far deadlier than it was when it entered into it. Which is a result of the west fielding capabilities without the depth to lead to decisive outcomes. Essentially the West immunized Russia to many of its capabilities & doctrine.

None of our front-line capabilities have been employed in Ukraine.

What I’m talking about is how small their United Aircraft Corporation is with its final assembly and check (FACO) facility in Eastern Siberia.

Under Putin, they combined Mikoyan Gurevich, Sukhoi, Ilyushin, Tupolev, Irkut, and Yakovlev into one state-run design and production bureau after Yeltsin’s failed attempt with VPK-MAPO. Antonov (heavy lift transports) was always Ukrainian, so it wasn’t included.

If you study the satellite imagery of UAC’s FACO, it’s embarrassingly-small. They went from cranking out hundreds (around 1000) of aircraft per year in 1990, to just a few dozen.

Su-57 and Su-35 production are done in the same warehouse within sight of each other.



It would be like touring a medium or small factory somewhere remote in the US, and seeing F-35s and F-15EXs made in the same building on parallel lines by the same workers at really low-rate production.

This is unimaginable in the US. One of the 3 F-35 FACOs is inside of a mile-long building at Fort Worth, where F-16, F-111, B-58, and B-36 production used to be at different times in history.

F-15 and Super Hornet production/FACO is at Saint Louis in the former McDonnell Douglas plant, same place F-4s were made by the thousands.

F-16 got moved to South Carolina in 2019 from Fort Worth, since F-35 is the focus. Last F-16C Block 50 was delivered to the USAF in 2005, over 20 years ago. (One of our former friends and neighbors delivered it, and was also a pilot who flew the first F-16B delivered to the USAF back in the 1970s. We knew him from the F-16 Combined Test Force at Edwards.)

Right now, the US has 4 fighter FACOs open, with 2 new ones coming online, 2 foreign FACOs for F-35s in Japan and Italy assisting with F-35 Full Rate Production (FRP), and a strategic bomber FACO open for B-21. Additionally, we have various munitions final assembly lines across the munitions spectrum cranking out A2A missiles, cruise missiles, anti-radiation missiles, decoy missiles, SAMs, ATGMs, Hellfires, anti-ship missiles, glide bombs, and surface-to-surface missiles. We also leveraged our existing bomb inventory by making JDAM and LGB kits for them.

Russia isn’t even a player anymore in this space. It really comes down to China at this point. Russia is spent. Anyone talking about Russian war economy and Russia emerging stronger from Ukraine needs to hold that up next to their defense aerospace sector and either look for a new job, or go back to the drawing board on their basic analytical process.

I would check her fluids, from the back, with my dipstick... and add fluid as I see fit.
