Is that an everything bagel? I bet the lox stanks

Being a cheap bastard, I bought a $6.99 amazon rechargeable "stroller fan" that I set up on the next bench and it blows air thru my suppressors and out the end of the barrel. It cost almost nothing and I can cool two rifles down at a time.

Does this scope base with M24 engraved on the front top pad look to be one of the Badger Ordnance M24 SWS #306-07M24 ?

Be prepared for lots of "open" areas to be gated off.

I went over the same exercise as you, trying to figure out what was better on. 20" SPR-ish 5.56. Having both scopes, I tried them both (with an offset Acro with the PST G2 2-10) and although I settled on the 2-10, I actually decided to eventually get another LHT 4.5-22 to replace it.

In my mind the strengths of the 1-10 are speed at 1x, light weight, small form factor, great reticle for holdovers and ruggedness. It's great for a general purpose rifle that will mostly be shot 500 and in but gives you the ability to stretch things out further and also better pid.

The strengths of the 2-10 (relative to the 1-10) are better image at 10x, parallax and more suited to dialling. It's weaknesses are heavy weight, exposed non-locking turrets, slower at close range on 2x (solved with the offset Acro) and a pretty mediocre reticle (it should have the same xmas tree as the PST 3-15, imo).

That's what lead me to wanting another LHT 4.5-22 for this rifle as it is lighter than both the other scopes, has more magnification and clearer glass, a great reticle, capped windage and locking elevation (so easy to dial or holdover). Downsides are that it is slightly longer and has a higher low end mag but the length isn't critical for me (it's going on a rifle with a 20" barrel and plenty of rail-estate for a clip-on) and the 4.5x low end is solved with an offset Acro.

You'll enjoy your PST but I'd suggest always checking your windage if you're pulling the rifle out of a case as I've found it tends to easily get spun.

For some reason I didn’t know they were available in FDE. Absolutely beautiful collection

Tango...and the NX8 4-32 is great on the .50!

Most place I know both BLM land and National Forests are open to shooting unless otherwise noted. They are here in NM. Just a few regulations. IIRC

-No shooting within 500' of a campground
-No shooting over roads
-No shooting into live trees
-Police your brass

When you get where your going call the ranger station, or BLM office, they'll tell you the local regs.

National Parks are different.

Bastard went old school Predator movie and dunked himself in pond before coming out into field. My old Pulsar thermal scanner barely picked him up with the water on his back. Took me 20 mins to confirm was a pig before walked out and thumped him. 6.5 CM shooting 100 ELD VT.

Btt

It is possible things with the app can change in the future. As of right now we are sticking with our current pay structure.

And here I thought it was insane seeing a food truck in the valley charging $20 for a burrito. I guess I'm not middle class anymore, time to start applying for food stamps...

In less than a generation Israelis with US aid will exterminate Christianity in Palestine and neighboring lands , oldest christian comunites that survived 700+years of Islamic rule will be wiped out by some Bronx immigrants. Must be Hamas or just plain Antisemitism.

The last entirely-Christian town in the Israeli-controlled West Bank is enduring a wave of attacks by violent Jewish settlers, a local church leader says, prompting families to flee and leading clergy to declare the town is "no longer safe" for its inhabitants. Ominously, settlers have also set up an "outpost" on the fringe of that town -- Taybeh, Ramallah -- a 4,500-year-old community with huge significance in the story of Jesus Christ. “The town, which the Gospel of John (11:54) refers to as ‘Ephraim’ — the place Jesus withdrew to before his passion — is no longer safe for its people today," Father Bashar Fawadleh, parish priest of Taybeh's Church of Christ the Redeemer,

yes predator hunting at night even during the day if your rapid follow up shots even with the bolt action, you might lose your cases doesn’t take much grass to cover things up quickly.

$.60 a case. (Have/ take a few cents) whether it’s a 6.5 cm, 6mm cm or 22 Creedmoor that you’ve sized down, Or a 6ARC they’re all about between 0.60$ and $.65 apiece for a case.

Comparatively if you bought a 556 which is around $.22 per case

(these are Starline brass prices though, not a high-end from Alpha or Peterson or any of the other ones)

If I was going after some predators than I probably wouldn’t worry too much about losing a few cases, I wouldn’t take that many shots but if you went after wild hogs, that would be a totally different situation.

Especially if you’re in a vehicle, helicopter, ect..high volume, that would be more of a what’s the cheapest ammo I could find.
I don’t think I would take 1000 rounds of starline brass in 6 ARC, and just unload and have the cases flying out the window or the side or wherever else… I would have a little bit of an issue with that personally I wouldn’t be able to afford it.

I’m told that flying brass in a chartered pig hunting helo is a safety hazard and a no go. Everyone hunts with a brass catcher.

But, given the hourly rate for a helicopter hog hunt, lost brass I pennies in the grand scheme of things.
