Member Link Up Decent outdoor rifle range near Cincinnati, Ohio?

lash
Per the title, I’ll be just NNW of Cincinnati while my grandson attends a hockey training camp this weekend and next week. Looking to bring along a rifle or two and maybe get in some much needed range time.

It can be but doesn’t need to be longer than 300y, but available distances will help me decide what I’ll bring.

And yes, I’ve done a brief search, but much prefer someplace where I can be comfortable and even meet up with someone while I’m there.

Any suggestions?

Reminders like this are great, but Christians throughout history were required to fight for their survival. If they hadn't, there wouldn't be any left today. When Christians take up the sword, they are unstoppable. I don't think that's a coincidence. There are chapters missing from the Bible, and there are things that were added to control the population. I don't believe God expects us to allow ourselves to be driven to extinction. You may disagree, and I'll respect your opinion, but while I am a Christian, I do not for one second believe that the bible is the infallible word of God, on it's 7th translation, version 6, translated by a king who's other great literary works included cataloging mythical demons and such.

For conversation purposes (I agree), I also like customization, as long as it is NOT part of the critical path, part or system.

If the magazine is designed to feed and manage the “presentation” of the round and does it consistently and without fail, I will buy that magazine, regardless of how many others I have, as I am sick of having a magazine that “almost works for some chassis” with all these “adjustable” features that just adds to points of failure (basic reliability concepts).

For trigger, that is in a critical path that affects sear engagement, pin fall and timing in concert with the bolt and firing system. BnA triggers at least offer low, medium, high top sears and some adjustability and allow user servicing, but it still has to be compatible and functional with the firing system.

Chassis LOP is in the “user’s” critical path and can be altered without affecting the action’s critical system.

I have several different precision 22LRs and they all differ because each fixes one flaw or another in the other rifle system and yet introduce a new one of their own.

I’d really love to see one rifle system that is completely and reliably functional for its stated use case (that is not so narrowly specified to exclude conditions to cover for inherent flaws and compromises).

I am not a mechanical engineer, so I use this passion to learn from and enjoy the experience.

Agreed. For the M5x, there's a stock and receiver revision required, but I haven't posted the picture of my standard M5 DBM that doesn't have the limiting piston and drops right into any M5 inletted stock and no revision to the receiver.

So, one can make a choice between full featured and standard versions, but the point in all this is, getting back to dimensional purity is key to quelling the feeding/cycling frustrations.

Generally we are wishing bad stuff on criminals and violent leftist traitorous degenerates.

Not simply those who express opposing views. But those who express their views by violating others rights… or preying on them.

And, yes, personally guilty of wishing to see violent criminals face punishment that is hell on earth. Sometimes in jest, sometimes not.

But has anyone here ever wished that on their kids? Not that I can remember.

There is a difference.

Yessir, they seem to be at the top of the heap at the moment, but they aimed for my market. What I'm focused on is all part of the original vision.

Well, they also have no qualms about killing babies, grandmothers and calling for genocide to save Gaia.

Just remember this when they start crying about "Our Democracy" and "Fascists."

“No, you have to buy so and so stock, use this DBM” is an acceptable answer if that is what is needed in your mind, and obviously in the minds of others (see msgs below your reply). But if that means your stock, your action, your barrel, your trigger, your magazine, etc, etc, that is also fine if you are able to do all of that. Apple built an ecosystem that worked very well for them. (I have lived both worlds as a retired developer). But it is a risk if the market doesn’t follow/develop before the money runs out.

Yes there will obviously be parts of the system that will have to be proprietary to this family of guns, but the more that doesn’t have to be single sourced is better in my opinion. My body and LOP may not conform well to the “preferred” stock, or I might really like a BnA trigger instead of a trigger tech, and my hand grip might be different than the next persons. And so on. You know all of this better than I do, just stating it for conversation purposes. Customizations are fun.

Again, whatever you come up with will more than likely rule the market. So keep the faith.

Yessir, you're spot on. At the center of the storied feeding/cycling struggles that litter the internet is one thing, but typically, the magazine is blamed, or "the extractors are over-sprung," but frankly, it's none of that. Instead, it's deviation from foundational information.

You may not be aware of this, but on the original Remington 700 short action receiver print, the action bolt centers are exactly 6.5". But, on the PTG M5 DBM print, the counterbored holes for the action bolts are 6.492". I have many other versions of M5 DBMs sitting within three feet of me that also, do not measure what's on the original Rem 700 print.

But everything is stated as, Rem 700 compatible. And this particular dimension isn't the only deviation; there are many others floating around out there, so why would there not be feeding/cycling issues? There's a ton of deviation from the original AICS prints for the chassis mag well and magazine envelope, so let's throw an adjustable release in there to make up for the slop....and while we're at it, let's add another adjustable chunk-o-steel to the magazine so we can somehow, get that thing in the right place. But how is one supposed to know where "the right place" is?

Full disclosure- I'm not savvy enough to accurately answer your question. Let's chalk this up as one of those "I don't know what I don't know" type of things.

The foundation of my house... aka the 'basement' I do know is made up from what I believe is called "superior walls". Construction isn't my forte by any means but when I researched it prior to purchasing it seems like they're preconstructed concrete slabs with framing that is put in place as an alternative to "poured concrete walls".

That might be 100% on point or I could be completely off the proverbial mark but that's how I presently understand the foundation of the house. Regardless- the house is built on the top of a mountain (it's PA so we're not talking Rocky Mountain elevations but maybe 1100' elevation for this Appalachian Mountain.

I'm planning on renting a rototiller on the other side of the house and just planting something like rosebushes after I've got the ground all torn up because the elevation is too high to mow and I've got to do something with it so mid as well make things "pretty".

Creepily enough- your comment on blueberries... my backyard (the wooded part) is actually chalk full of what I think are blackberries and that brings in the Deer, Rabbits, and Turkey's thus far this year. With any luck- we'll start seeing black bear out back and then my wife will give me the thumbs up I'm looking for to purchase a Marlin 45-70 SBL as a "bear gun" in case things get wild... but just need evidence of Bears being back there first...

Superior Walls is a great product especially in areas where access for concrete trucks and concrete pumps is limited.

If you have an underground basement, then they first dug a hole in which they erected the prefabricated panels on top a compacted gravel bed. After backfilling around the basement walls and pouring the basement floor, they stick built the house on top of floor joists that rest on the rim of the Superior Wall basement "tub".

The material that was excavated to create the space for the basement needed to go somewhere and from your photos it looks like they spread it where you are trying to grow lawn. That is your main problem.

I will follow the same construction process as described above for my new home EXCEPT that the excavated material will go somewhere else as fill and the house will be ultimately surrounded by topsoil, sloped away slightly from the house for drainage.

The builder of your home cut a corner and unfortunately you will have to fix this.
