"withheld" may or may not be any better word than "sealed".

In Utah autopsies are not public record.

Anything presented in court becomes public record unless the trial/court records are sealed.

The texts likely weren't so much "released" as they were presented in court becoming public record.

This war is beyond anything we can imagine from the standpoint of absolute drone control over the battlefield and logistics ,little to no counter to the drone threat by either side.

''Frontline realities of 2025:

Small groups fight a huge war over wast landscapes. A "stronghold" can be held by a handful: two, three, or four people. The line of contact has completely changed. In 2023, our task was to bring a company of ten BMP-3s into a village. Even back then, this was difficult.

Now the equipment is parked tens of kilometers from the LBS. If in 2023, those same BMP-3s worked as tanks, now they are unlikely to reach a position from which they can fire. And it's not because armor is outdated , they simply cannot be systematically protected and covered from the main weapon of destruction—kamikaze drones.

I'll describe what the journey to the Line of Contact looks like for an ordinary infantryman. It's now a real trek. With all your junk, 30 kilos of it, you are dropped off 10-15 kilometers from the point where you will fight the war. In some areas, the trek can be up to 30 kilometers. There are places where, under the cover of the forest, you can get to within a few kilometers to the LBS. Beyond the supply points, only ATVs, dirt bikes, and electric scooters of varying degrees of power travel. The concept of "rear" now begins 50 kilometers from the LBS.

The hardest part is getting there. Roads and communication routes are mined. From drones. Homemade mines are stuffed into first-aid kits, the bodies are mined , petals mines are dropped by the dozens on the trails, and large magnetic mines are placed where tracks are visible. If you don't know what mines look like, you're sure to step on one.

The journey in and out is the most dangerous part. Mavic drones constantly track movements and are ready to instantly transmit coordinates to the FPV crew or some battery. At the LBS itself, in the dugout, it's not as dangerous as on the way to it. It's now common practice for guys to sit in the trenches for a month or two, pull through without losses, only to run into trouble upon extraction from line of contact.

There's no regular supply. Everything is brought in on foot. The best you can count on is a brash motorcyclist who's not afraid to ride the gauntlet drop of supplies and immediately ride away. At night, the evil spirits wake up. Huge drones (Baba Yaga)with thermal imagers drop mortar shells. If you don't find a dugout for cover, by sunset, you're dead.

This is where the main problem arises. Accumulating forces and maintaining them in large numbers on the LBS is now impossible. This is true for both sides. To correct the situation and begin to win systematically, we need many ATVs, large supply drones, small evacuation buggies, and interceptor drones. Now they're all "off-the-shelf"—bought independently or cobbled together through humanitarian aid workers.

Total atomization is taking place. Small groups of soldiers must be able to do everything. There are no separate sappers, signalers, or other such specialists for every group. You need to know everything yourself. how to navigate , use communications, basics of dealing with mines Without this knowledge, you'll get physically lost, lose contact with those who could help, and end up stepping on a cute little furball in the middle of no man's land.

The gray zone, by the way, is now 2-3 kilometers. This "Indian territory" contains nothing but abandoned 200, 300, and mines. All this has a very depressing effect on the soldiers. The enemy often flees after suffering the first losses during the assault. The quality of their soldiers... you can see for yourself how they've been drafted. Even their special forces units have lost their former agility. Nevertheless, we're stuck with the fact that we can barely reach them.''

What a great deal. Really hoping they get away from BDC in future models. Hopefully this sell off is an indication new stuff is finally coming.

They added two mrad reticles about a year ago.

i've actually been waiting for this. Slovakia as well. kinda wonder where Serbia stands on this. Orban prob should mobilize. the roles of Poland and Romania will also be important if things spread in east Europe. Romania and Poland both have NATO crookedly installed leaders so wonder about the population.
typical stupid Uke move. they can't handle a 2 front war without NATO help which may be the point of this sabre rattling.

since all tikka actions are the same, when you say you have both the short action and long action mag release, does that mean you can run both in this?

Click to expand...

No, it means XLR’s shorter and longer tactical magazine release. This is specifically for a Tikka Short Action.

For reference, you can change out the “bolt release” on a tikka to long or short. But stocks and chassis are specifically made for either long or short action.

Rimfire ammo consistency generally follows cost. That’s what we pay for. SK would almost always throw 20% or so high/low for me. I only saw that after my gear and myself were consistent enough. I use Eley Team and Match. I would use Tennex if I had the $$$.

I had a unique chance to tunnel test in SK/Lapua factory tunnel lots of SK LRM and all the Lapua ammo on bunch of rifles , group size differences are relatively small but SK had flyers about at 3+x the rate of Lapua

My Bergara heavy so far likes SK LRM and Lapua Midas lots i have for my other guns , does not like Tenex lots tried so far .

When I get time, am going to test the 123 Absolute Hammer bullets to see if I actually gain some speed like they say (friend reports he saw +/-250 fps gain with them).

Click to expand...

He got 250fps over the 140 ELDm or over the 123 Scenar? Seems hard to believe he would see 250fps with the same weight bullet, I've not seen something like that in all the monolithics testing that I've done over the last 15 years.

The “sueing to oblivion” part is the indication that our society is lost. In the old days the “settlement of accounts” news would come out concurrently with the sex club story. Non-pedos would shrug, nod approvingly, and go on with their day.

yep sue via tire iron

Yeah, because if there was one thing that Stoner was not, that was an innovator…

Sealed evidence for a trial? That's funny. They released the texts from their shooter to his furry fag lover that included an admission of guilt. Not only released but they read them in a press conference on national TV.

yea,good point. i was thinking that much would be withheld pending trial. i know nothing about this sort of legal stuff but figured exposure would "contaminate" a jury pool. but releasing a confession? MAYBE a real one? guess we will learn later.

PM inbound.

I have cut a bunch of them for hunters, most of them are using them either in a blind/truck or they're sling hunting from trees and need a backpack-able rifle.

The numbers below are from a barrel that we made for a local customer who only shot factory ammo. It started life as a 6.5 Creed at 26" long and shot really well. He decided to try sling hunting and immediately decided it needed to be cut down. Then he decided it also needed to be faster after his first range trip (he didn't even give me chrono data, just said it was a rainbow). So we took the barrel back and opened it to a 6.5 PRC

26" Osprey 7.5 twist 6.5 Creed, 140 ELDm factory ammo: 2860 fps
16.5" cut down and opened to 6.5 PRC, 140 ELDm factory ammo: 2845 fps

I have blanks in stock for any stainless contour you want, we contour and flute in house. I also have carbon blanks on the shelf that can finish from 16.5 - 26" long.
