The notion that “its both sides” is also not even close…

View attachment 8767161

Look at the overall picture here:
Very conservative report about 3% openly sometimes justifying violence, 88% never.
Conservative: 7%, 83%. 9% not sure.
Liberal: 17%, 68%. 12% not sure.
Very liberal: 25%, 55%. 14% not sure, and 6% unwilling to say...which probably means they're a yes but don't want to openly admit it.

What really tells the story is the proportion who are willing to say that citizens resorting to political violence is never acceptable:
Very Liberal: only 55% are willing to outright disavow using violence.
Liberal: 68%
Conservative: 83%
Very Conservative: 88%

The differential between Very Conservative and Very Liberal: 12% of Very Conservative respondents might be willing to resort to violence (1 in 10 of us? Still too high imo) while almost HALF of Very Liberal respondents don't disavow violence.
Conservatives, 17% don't outright disavow violence. Still less than 2 in 10. Liberals? It's more than 3 in 10.

WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

Got an email from my gun club (Temple Gun Club) that they are co-sponsoring a candlelight vigil This Thursday at 1930 in front of the Courthouse in Belton (Bell Co.). I'm going to attend so if anyone here in and around central Texas wants to show up, please do.

Here's one on an 18" small frame (6arc) to wet your whistle

But I must say, given the parameters, I have been VERY happy with the ZCO 2-10 inside 700y. Admittedly, I tend to not overshoot the magnification/optic I need because it often gets me in trouble.

This is the British SA80 conversion kit by Ally and Kaufman for the Brownell's BRN180 upper in 5.56. It is an excellent copy and fits perfectly with no modification to either the kit or the upper. I did have to make a copy of the SA80 flash hider to accept the SA80 bayonet. The Brownell's upper has a standard 1911 Picatinny rail so I had to make an adapter for the original British SUSAT sight that has a 19mm rail. My copy of the original flash hider, pinned and welded to the barrel, brings the overall length to a legal 26.5 inches. The rifle handles and shoots great.

Sorry, knowing what CBTO you have doesn't really tell us anything about your seating depth, as different comparators will measure CBTO differently. Your comparator is meant only for you to compare measures you are taking. Their simply not precision measuring tools. Different comparators can give as much as .065" difference. Even though bullet's OAL can vary, it easier to get a good idea of your cartridge configuration when you state a COAL.

What factory ammo were you shooting that gave you 2,701 fps (brand & bullet weight)?

Assuming you're loading your cartridges to the same COAL (or the same CBTO with your comparator) as the factory cartridges, you can certainly load them a little hotter (maybe by 1 gr more of Varget), but your not going to get the velocity you got out of the factory cartridges. You'll need a to load them longer, like a COAL at 2.950" if your freebore allows it, and maybe use a different powder, like IMR-4895 or H-4895, if that's your goal

So I should have probably clarified. The factory ammo I shot was just to get some sort of baseline. However, I was not trying to replicate it. I also like to shoot a group of factory ammo first to establish some sort of zero confirmation. It is called Bullets 1st by American Marksman. It is loaded with a 175 SMK.

My barrel is 22.5" long so I do not expect to near to those velocities with varget and 185 jugs. I understand measuring tools such as a comparator will only serve me to get MY measurements as there will be lots of variance. I will measure OAL next time I am home. My load was considerably longer next to the factory ammo. It did not fit in the plastic MDT mag so I had to use the MDT metal mags.

With the cz457s it's a crap shoot. I shoot ARA 50 and the number of guys there that have bought and sold 3 or 4 rifles looking for one thats a absolute hammer is insane. The MTR seems to be a little better than the varmint and has a better stock. If it has to stay stock I say go match. If not buy a lilja or what ever and enjoy.
Also, seems 22lr is 99% finding the ammo your rifle likes and buying as much of that lot as possible.

New never mounted Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 this is the rokslide fan boy rifle scope, one of the few models that survived their drop test. 30mm warn 1.0 height rings and adland engineering scope caps, the best available IMO.

1000$ shipped for scope.
1200$ for everything shipped

Who said it was disassembled? Guess I missed that

As for the scope, I feel like you haven’t been to many public ranges

The video footage of the suspected shooter descending from the roof and jumping to the ground definitely does not show a visible assembled rifle length object of any sort on his person. Even if we were to believe the rifle to have been disassembled for transport to the shooting position, reassembling it and expecting the same zero as before is a crap shoot. I've seen zero's at 100 yards shift by 2-3 inches when an action is removed from a cheap factory stock and reassembled.

I once knew a man who shot more deer than anyone I've ever known. Many of them illegally but that's beside the point. He always hunted with a Rem 700 22-250. He said he would not shoot unless he could get a neck shot. DRT every time. Usually in their tracks, and never had to track any.

That’s what I do neck shots only…

My gun voted me off the range today

I am the weak link.

Don’t feel bad… most shooters are the weak link. Machines are very repeatable. Especially precision-built ones.

Humans are bags of quivering organs, breathing and heartbeat variations, muscle twitches, brain anomalies, imperfect vision, and myriad other chemical and “biomechanical” glitches… while even a mid-priced production gun is remarkably repeatable. If you take out the human weak links.

I am betting that not 2 percent of shooters can out shoot an AI, TacOps or TRG. Not to mention quite a few other tier-one rifles.

Ive personally had some of MY very best groups using VV 560 & 540 , using 123.gr. 129 gr. 130 gr. 139 gr. and 143 gr. bullets . I don't have or shoot any 153.5 gr. ,I feel their too heavy for caliber but it's only MY opinion .

I've developed a hunting load which has proven deadly accurate punching paper .404" at 278 yd. using 129gr. and the entire box of #20 went into that enlarged hole with a steady quartering 18 mph wind .

You’re going to have to share that one after a build up like that

I’ve got a buddy that swears by it. Never did it because 95% of my shots the deer wouldn’t go 10 yards. Fast forward 2 years ago, took sight, squeezed the trigger, hit right where I was aiming, saw the deer mule kick, so I knew I made a quality shot, got down earlier than I should have, but I shot at last light, so wanted to get a head start on retrieving the deer. Walked in where I saw him go, heard him get up and take off. Called my wife, son, and mother in law in to track the animal. All we ever found was 3 pin head

. Never did find that deer. Messed my hunt up that year because I don’t like not recovering what I put my crosshairs on. Following year, said fuck it, I’ll try the neck shot. It was the most amazing thing to witness as the deer crumpled right on top of itself. Didn’t move at all. Going forward, it will be my shot of choice. With the 6.5 creedmore, it was pencil in, pencil out, almost no blood.

I may get a little static for this, but I’ve been known to keep two loads in the Bubba Cuff.

One for open country (currently a 175 SGK, for behind the shoulders), then something that will hit “close enough” to zero at 100 yards for hunting where it’s thick and rough or close to property lines and I want to bust both shoulders (currently a 175 RN Interlock).

These are both out of a #1 7x57. Admittedly, I don’t know if it’s ever really made a difference, but it’s gives me something else to dick with, so whatever.

They ain’t cheap, but a few 175 Partitions would be my pick for close-in PRC shoulder busting.

Also been known to keep coyote loads handy for my .25-06, not that my deer loads won’t kill a coyote…..

Right on!

The 250 Grain Partition pushed by Norma MRP was my go to round in the 340 Weatherby for elk and moose. I also carried some 250gr SGKs loaded with 7828ssc for the longer shots. I zeroed with the Partitions and had a dope card for the SGKs for the POI difference. Partitions are hammers, and this was my first elk with one - DRT at 188yds.

Now I'm shooting PVA Cayugas in the 7 PRC, and an old farmer is happily shooting the 340 Bee. This one was taken with the 175gr ELD-X at longer range. Again, DRT, but no exit wound despite only ribs hit.
