And yet they don't kill us... Because until they evolve opposed thumbs, they can't operate a can opener or get into the food closet!

Though General Sherman opens doors with no problem. Little bastard. He also stole the key to my gun cabinet and 'lost' it under a carpet. It took me a month to find it. Literally pulled it out of the lock and buggered off with it.

Studies also show that cats love us... so must be a love-hate thing. Which is why they are more interesting than dogs. If not as useful!

Cheers,

useful? can you imagine what we would have if we had applied the same techniques we used with dogs and horses? i mean like the Mendel/Carver things. how would you like 100lb Leopard for a security/protection critter? we missed their "potential" IMHO. my two are realized,not potential PsITA.

Dan had an epiphany

I use Pelican 1750’s and 1720’s (for folding stock) for bolt guns. I make sure to only carry essentials in them to keep the weight down. Mag, bolt, rifle, can. That’s it. Every piece of foam you cut out of it, reduces the support for the rifle

Did Jay give you a spec sheet for the tube he used?

Spec sheet is in the wind after our house flooded...... basics are 2300+ fom, 72lpi one tiny spec at 9 o-clock outer zone noticed it with the gain wide open, this tube is super clean.

this weekend Ill get some

I gave the 4-16 a try because I couldn't stand the tunneling on the early 5-25. I use 4-5x when calling coyotes sometime and looking down a $2.5k toilet paper tube just felt stupid. Did it prevent good shots? No. But it sure rubbed me wrong. I have owned at least one 4-16 at all times since then.

I kind of agree with what someone alluded to earlier...the 4-20 doesn't really offer much that the 7-35x doesn't unless you absolutely need to go <7x. Just the 4-16x42's turrets alone would make the 4-20 way more appealing imo.

Some Magnus and a 1926... Buddies daughter gets married tomorrow. A long way from the Homestead!

77 TMK are NASTY. We did some backyard expansion testing and your SMK's and Hornady 75 BTHP didnt expand at all. They literally stayed intack and slightly bent like a banana. I have some pictures around here Ill try and dig up. We shot them from a 16" AR into wet phone books covered with wet denim in front.

The TMK's on the other hand expanded like crazy and almost looked like an HST pistol round. Devastating from our testing... Not a scientific test at all but major difference in results in our backyard test.


I havent tested any Aeromatch

I’m skeptical that wet phone books are provide a realistic representation of what a bullet will do in critters.
There are plenty of videos online showing how the MK 262 performs in ballistic gel.
It is surprisingly effective.
Here is one of many:

Yes but… I have also quit/lost jobs on this basis before. It did not change the situation at the job; it just meant I needed to find a new job. Being right still means being broke.

The fear of going broke without a job is exactly how the plandemic had as much leverage as it did.

If everyone was disciplined enough to have 6 months to 1 year of living expenses saved up, they would be amazed at the freedom they would have of not having to kiss the ring of an asshole employer.

I need some advice. I adopted a lab pup around Christmas. He is 8 months old and is already 70 plus pounds. He is a handful and smart. I don’t know shit about training a dog properly. My wife about shits when I talk about sending him off for some basic training. I think it’s necessary. Thoughts?

Click to expand...

absolutely. your wife won't like the damage an uncontrolled dog can do. start with crate training right away. then send him off if that is your move. YT will have crate training vids. no it is not cruel. they are denning animals. if you can go to training with the dog. learn how to handle one. very satisfying if you have the time.

WHAAAAT?!?!? 10-14 seconds?? That’s an eternity in this situation. Had that been me, it would not have taken more than 10-14 milliseconds to flip them back on, followed by me grabbing the crash ax and putting the pointed end through the PNF’s forehead 10-14 milliseconds later cause who knows what he would do next. That’s nuts.

Why isn’t it “cool” to use a cart or wagon? I got roasted because I use a wagon I bought at Costco but being new to PRS it helps me keep my stuff organized. I know I probably carry too much but I like having everything I think I might need with me. Funny thing it seems it’s not cool to use a wagon or cart but okay to use a $20,000 side by side.

Click to expand...

PRS is mostly just a bunch of larpers who think they’re Chris Kyle because they play golf with guns on Saturday. And yeah, if you can’t make it the 100 yards from stage to stage without a side by side, you really shouldn’t be casting any stones.

It would be nice if they released the damn folding adaptor like they fucking said they would...

Found one!

I've started using the app, hoping to find a replacement or Strelok Pro

First impressions are not great, I kind of hate the app tbh. Working on a list of constructive feed back at the moment.

My biggest issue at the moment is I can't get the DSF function to work, I'm using it for 22lr and the solutions it's giving me are not even close.

Is there a video or article that specifically talked about DSF tuning? I'll watch the video about tuning again amd try find out what im doing wrong.

Click to expand...

There are a bunch of Youtube videos detailing how various features, including DSF, work. Watch them, because some features probably don't work exactly the way you expect. "Understanding Ballistic Calibration in AB Quantum" gets into DSF, including subsonic/rimfire starting at about 17:45.

I shot my first centerfire match last Saturday using AB Quantum Pro. I'm converted over from Strelok Pro now (and, if you look further up in this thread, you'll see I was skeptical upon trying the free version.).

I'll use ABQ in a rimfire match tomorrow. I've spent the past week and 150+ rounds of Lapua Long Range truing ABQ out to 400 yards, using paper targets at 50, 101, 195, 294, and 399 yards, ranges lased from the target back to a pair of barrels stack on the shooting bench. I had to apply .1 - .3 of correction from the "default" curve at 101/195/294, after which the 399 solution was correct. The was a 2-6mph tailwind mostly from 7 o'clock, so I'll adjust as needed. Fortunately, this lot of LLR I have now is consistent - I chronoed 67 rounds in two different range sessions and got average velocities of 1127 and 1128 and SDs of 5.0 and 5.2, ES of 22 for both (air temps around 90 both times).

DSF for centerfire is a totally different beast than subsonic/rimfire. Watch the videos. I "only" have access to 1000 yards of range; as currently implemented, ABQ won't even let me create a DSF table for my centerfire rifles because it FORCES DSF calibration at 1400+ yards - nothing closer! Maybe I'm misunderstanding / doing something wrong; I'll come back to it sometime next week after the .22 match tomorrow.

In addition to its features, the thing that sold me on ABQ is the SUPPORT for it. Thank you @DocUSMCRetired .

Don't bother with "diet"

If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you need a lifestyle change and an over all eating habits and eating menu change that you can comfortably keep up for decades.

Nailed it! Plus copious amounts of exercise daily, it’s good for the soul…

Damn, I have wanted one of these forever. Such a beautiful rifle! Curious, can you clean the baffles in anyway?
