Australia bans machetes

No, you get arrested and you don't know why until they make up the charge at the station, and if they can't think of something, they let you go.

If you get arrested, you can ask "why are you arresting me?" And they say "I don't have to answer your questions". If you give them any attitude, they say "I'm recording this as evidence against you".

Ask me how I know.

Trump Announces the JFK Files Have Been RELEASED!

iceng
I think it's funny that the phrase "conspiracy theory" was coined by the CIA, for people who didn't believe the narrative for the JFK assassination.

However it turns out they were all right. He WAS assassinated by govt agents, and the CIA knew about it, and was in on it.

That is just hilarious. It's exactly what democrats do. Accuse you of the EXACT thing they are doing.

That is going to fetch a very subjective answer.

I believe it is easy to see against medium to light backgrounds.
Lower magnifications would be very problematic for me to reliably resolve the dot itself even if illuminated.

Nobody mentioned it anywhere in this part of the discussion but a user's ability to acquire and resolve any of the reticle elements quickly and accurately will be highly dependent on that exact user properly adjusting the diopter of that exact scope to their own eyesight.

It's a 2 or 3 minute chore that surprisingly few shooters trouble with.

No you cannot weed out all the shitbags but the process does a pretty good job. For every negative video that gets posted there are thousands of positive interactions. However, the positives do not feed the news feeds or get "likes".

Its hard to imagine a scenario of network marketing where winning means survival. So guy here and his TCC friends are hunting for future corpses in order not to become one. Pretty shitty prospect and not many will choose certain death over few months od life. This is what happens when people will not take a stand when shit is still minor once your in the “shower” its fucking too late to shout.

Hey guys,

so I am getting back into the hobby after being away from it since 2013... Things have changed. My last rifle was a Blueprinted R700 30.06 that could shoot half moa or better if I did my part. it was paired with a Bushnell DMR 3-21 Horus H59 reticle. I got it in 2011 I think when Bushnell was looking for people to "beta test" their new tactical line of scopes. I was one of the original beta testers for it with the H58 reticle. After we finished testing it, I had it swapped out for a newer H59 version. The scope is great, but it's a 1st gen DMR scope from Bushnell. for me it does a great job.... but no zero stop, 5 mil turrets and I'm sure with the advancements in technology the glass is outdated and there are better stuff out there now.

That being said WMLRF really wasn't a thing back then. We were taught to range with mils (or an LRF I guess). Times have changed.

I just recently purchased a Seekins SP10 in 6.5 creedmoor and now there are actually couple PRS matches in my state I'd like to attend (this didn't exist back then either in my area).

I am contemplating of getting a scope in the ~$1500-2000 range but sticking to a tradtional LRF (I have an older from 2011 and it sucks bigtime).

ORRRR

Getting a nice diveboard style rings on my Bushnell DMR and getting one of the WMLRF offerings (prefering Tango 4000 or Maztech 2k with AB).

I've also considered maybe a Vortex offering for around 1000 bucks, and look for a used WMLRF in the 1000 range.

What do you guys think? is my Bushnell too outdated and there are better things out there that I can benefit from? or is the future now and I get a new scope?

I've been strongly eyeing the Buris XTR-PS and getting a WMLRF in the future for it, or getting the eliminator 6 and have a new glass and a WMRLF all built into one. I know it has it's downsides, but I think it can be mitigated after some practice and training. Also saw some Leupold Mk4/5 for around $2000 in the marketplace or a Razor Gen III for around $2300 as well. I do love the idea of XTR-PS where you just dial your distance and shoot away. what's even better is the eliminator 6 where you don't even need to lift your head.

Wow. I didn't even see that he had passed a few days ago. He remade a song called Somebody Loan Me A Dime, that is well worth a listen. Very good guitar work. It is long, but worth a listen.

I believe I've said it here before but I'll say it again-

Some of the best people I know became police officers. I really do mean the 'salt of the earth' / just wanted to serve their community and make a difference type of people. As I grew older- and I'm only speaking for myself, I can't even begin to quantify the number of stories these friends of mine shared about their fellow officers.

Granted, there's always different sides to the story (and I can only share one facet) but I recall hearing the stories of these friends being the minority as for their reasons for pursuing the career as compared to their peers. If you'll allow me- the two groups that I most often heard complaints about were (1) those who went into it because it was a 'safe' job for various reasons and (2) those that wanted to have a perceived sense of 'authority' in their community. There were likely plenty of other "one off's" but those were the predominant groups I heard about over the years from my buddies venting.

This 'next part' is just me rambling but from what I've personally observed over the years (especially within the past 10 years), it's become a harder job being an officer/deputy. As such, it seems (to me at least) the folks interested in making a career of it is a diminishing population. The "smarter" youth can see that it's a career that financially doesn't pay the bills unless they put in gobs of overtime and they also see the (for lack of better words) "prestige" or general "respect" society gives that profession continue to spiral downwards and they ask themselves if it's really worth their while (and unfortunately I'd argue that many of the folks our society wants/needs in those positions say "nope"). Meanwhile- the departments still need to meet staffing requirements but are seeing a lack of candidates that met the previous standards. So the standards are lowered to meet quota and we find ourselves in a proverbial 'race to the bottom' and meanwhile scratch our heads and wonder why folks stopped trusting previously respected institutions.

They also make a product called "Power Wash". It's a spray bottle. It cleans anything. RV people love it, as you spray it, scrub or whatever, and then rinse. It's about $5 a bottle.

Buy one bottle so you have the right sprayer. When it's empty, put in 1/4 cup of Dawn, 1/4 cup of alcohol (denatured ethanol works best). and fill the rest with water.
