Good point.

What effect is this going to have on Russia’s operations this summer and beyond?

Russia used Iranian drones (shaheed) in the first year but have been producing the same model domestically for years at this point.
Shaheed and Lancet were the same, Russia has probably evolved the design to something somewhat unique at this point.

What kind of rimfire stuff you need?

Pretty open to anything! I am a lefty though so that does limit things such as actions or chassis.

Bump

My Gen 1, RAR in x39 is a great little rifle. I paid $425 a couple years ago from an outfit called Family Firearms down in Alabama. I dunno if it was on blow-out, cuz the Gen 2 came out 6 months or so later. They’re outta business now. some kerfuffle with the ATF or something.

I cycled the zipper bolt hundreds of times with some bore past and lapping compound. Smooth as glass now. The Gen 1 “Rubbermaid” stock was okay. Put it in a Boyds stock and eventually a better bolt handle, is all I’ve done to it. Mags are a skootch loose fitting and nose dive from time to time with that Boyds “bottom metal” adaptation. Aside from that frustration I’m extraordinarily pleased with it. Pulled off the groups below with it just today. So much for the vaunted Yugo M67. Doesn’t like it. But regularly pull of 1” groups with Barnaul, Golden Tiger and surprisingly, 1970s Rommy green tin milsurp. Trigger has a nice clean break that I was able to adjust down to 3lb, 10oz.

A Tikka’s gonna be near a couple grand, no? I looked into the CZ 527 in x39. Wonderful, but they are long disco’d. Some PITA issue for scope mounting as I recall (???) and mags are unobtainium, no ? Rem 700 ?

I’m leaning towards another RAR (Gen1 if I can find one) and an aftermarket stock again. Not sure I’d wanna spend the money on the Gen2 just to change out the stock as well. And I plan to fire suppressed so no need for the brake they now give you. What else might be special about the Gen2 that’s worth a couple hundred more $ ?



Barnaul



Golden Tiger



1970s Rommy Milsurp



Yugo M67 (blech). I thought this stuff was supposed to be amazing.

There has to be some deep state dirty $$$ connections in the background here. It’s hard to believe these people are so fucking idiotic about kinetic work stuff. Maybe they are being Lee Harvey Oswalded, or should I say Clintoncided? I guess it’s now Epsteined.

Well the higher you go the more air pressure there is up there. Planes go pretty high, so I’d say it’s fairly equivalent to a the pressure a submarine feels.

Click to expand...

Um. No.
The most air pressure is at sea level or the few areas that go below sea level. 14.7 psi for sea. Pressure in passenger planes is kept to at best 6000ft or 11.7psi. Outside air pressure at 40,000ft is 2.72psi

Pressure in water increases 1 atmosphere (14.7psi) every 33 ft. 1000ft depth is 433psi. Internet says seawolf class goes to 1600 ft which is 692psi.

Im in on #6 at $750 let me know

I ship MGs and high dollar thermals usps registered mail. each person that touches it has to sign for it.

But yeah. Get an insurance policy that covers your stuff no matter if it is in your house car or being shipped

It's been a good while since I've had to use it, but this was always my choice, for the same reasons given. If it goes missing, the last guy who signed for it is supposedly accountable for it. I will mention that I have observed the service of USPS in general has gone down noticeably since I've shipped a long gun.

The blue is good at $80…wouldn’t pay secondary for it.

Click to expand...

The 12 yr (black) is one of my all-time favorites. I don't really think much of the Special Reserve (green). I have not had a chance to try any of the others. We almost never see any of them here locally, except rarely on the secondary market. 270 for the blue, and 370 for the black. No thanks.

Totally missed the 107

No, I saw it, but the question at hand was black, or blue?

Bump - make me an offer. Add a scope and go .

Caliber?

Anyone reading this thread, with a collection of anything of value, should take this as an object lesson in estate planning. You are the only one that cares about your collection. Your relatives will get pennies on the dollar, because they don’t know what they were left, and don’t have an interest to learn.

They are beautiful pieces of work , I’ll stay with my 40x .

This one took a tumble and didn't recover.
The S60R is a great scope but it's a battery hog, especially when using the ultra clear mode in humid weather.
