Take the capitol. Regain their hold on Kiev.

Ukraine flooded the area(irpin river basin) and blew bridges, RU military couldn’t make it through. Russia failed to take the air field to deliver support for the push.

VDV captured the airport (twice maybe) but it's a single runway with no sort of infrastructure for housing supplies and is only 25KM form the heart of Kiev, ie within artillery range. The media said the airport was heavily damaged but satellite photos after the battle don't show this. The main issue is that the Russians didn't push out far enough to allowed aeroplanes to land uncontested from even MANPADS.

The idea that Ukraine recaptured the airport early day one came from the Ukraine gov and was probably just a lie (surprise surprise), they might have pushed the Russians back late day one.

Blowing bridges is a very good idea even though the Russians made several successful river crossing and built pontoon bridges that could be targeted by artillery.

End of the day, you are not taking Kiev when your only supply routes are a single runway airport and a shitty two lane road through a swamp, we are looking a supplies in thousands of tons measurements for even just a couple brigades.

Ok now this shit is getting personal .

President Donald Trump shook hands with Putin so I think this should put an end to the embargo on my ballistics calculators for new phone.

How the hell can I fight communism without a commie ballistics calculator?

Is a .375CT bolt ready?

@Trigger Monkey
Didg Ding you got it.

Want to take the challenge on the Black Jack rack. Looks like most guys that are up on the board with ar's are shooting 6 arc and 6 br and it's a challenge to see if I can do it with 223.

I have another 20 inch upper with a bad 6.5 Grendel barrel extension and can replace it or change to 6 arc. Same brass just need new die and has a way better bullet selection.

Had hoped that 69g smk's were going to work but having some problems with practice rounds.

Any suggestions will be welcome.

Can't we all get along LOL

Athlon Ares ETR and Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56 are the next logical step up. Telson TM 5-25x56 might be as well, but I need to spend more time with it.

Nah, I don't think there's going to be a spicy conflict between China and the US. Both China and the US have gotten fat off each other about 3% of both countries GDP is from doing business together. 3% doesn't sound like much, but the US has a GDP of just over $29T a year. Neither side wants the financial diet.

China will be a headline creating nation for a while still. Gonna get spicy when Xi passes away though. It'll be interesting to see how the power vacuum gets filled given that Xi has purged a lot of people that could challege him.

Trump needs to negotiate a trade deal that gets china to slow their roll on Taiwan, and gets both China, and the US, what it needs in economic benefits, as well as political wins for both members to take home to their constituents (or subjects in the case of China), long enough to get closer to a retired, or deceased, president Xi. Then we deal with the next guy, and hope he's reasonable.

What's with these rifles demanding such a high price tag?

Almost every time I see one posted for sale, it's been bought and sold 3 times and never been fired.

Genuinely curious about the demand, I'm ignorant on the TacOps rifles

Yes, there are many other builders but he has been one of the best ones for decades now. His fit & finishes are top tier, he's knowledgeable and shares frequently on this site.

His rifles entered the realm of collectors many years ago now, and some buy them just to collect.

I myself run everything like a tool. I don't judge because to each their own.

Without users there would be no need for innovation,
Without collectors, the firearms market would miss a lot of needed revenue to keep this sport & industry alive

Remember, most here have never been or will never be a trained sniper, pro level competitive shooter, or stretch any weapon system to its limit. But the market needs everyone
just my opinion

Have a new 300 PRC Kelbly Nanook I picked up from Preferred Barrels last year. It's shooting the 215 hybrids pretty well right now, so this will probably get the nod this season.

I think the camo is messing with my eyes. The stock looks bent like a banana.

End goal 2 inch target at 500 yards.

In Texas?

It just has to be close enough not to send something over backstop.

My son got this cheap from someone that ended up needing mils. Then he needed mils. Lol

I can run either and on a fixed distance think the moa has a finer adjustment. End goal 2 inch target at 500 yards.

Yes with an ar 223 I built up.
It's just a goal I have.

I've been playing with the 95gr berger hunting vld and the 90gr Sierra TGK in a 22" dasher. The bergers are doing mid to upper 2700's. Sierras are running 2850ish. Preference towards the berger at the moment. Popped some caracaras that liked to take a run at my ducks with both bullets. The sierra seemed to hold together a little better. A little more explosive result with the berger.

Also have the 108 elite hunter, but I havent loaded any yet. I shot the 85gr sierra bthp gameking a lot from a 243AI. Its a pretty good one also. Probably work well at br speeds.

You couldn't give me a barrel from either but not everyone has standards. Too many horror stories from both but if you put a gun to my head SJA.

I missed the stories and had SJA spin up a CRB for my Zues. It is a solid shooter. That said I have another CRB being spun up by TSC as a backup for it.

Anybody have any pointers on slicking these things up? She cycles a little rough.
