What is a good FFP 30mm option?

How would that compare to the Ares?
Think the Midas Tac is an excellent option for the price!

The Ares, Midas, and Helos are really on par when it comes to optical quality and are all surprisingly good for chinesium.

I’d just get the Midas and save the $$, their illumination is about worthless anyway. In all 5 of the samples I’ve had it was daylight bright on the lowest setting and the knob is pretty stiff.
Agreed. I’ve owned all 3. When the Ares came out, it was great, but Athlon had just joined the scene and was making waves and the Vortex PSTII was the closest thing at the time. There are things I liked better about the Ares at the time.

The Ares is ok for the money, but I do not think it is worth the extra money either. I do think the Midas Tac 6-24 is very good for the money and know people that use them in comps… no illum as stated. I have used the Helos BTR as well, and it was nice for the money as well. The Midas Tac is what I usually recommend down near that price range.

No Fee for Surppressors or short barrell rifles

Do you participate in anything you disagree with?
Only life, but I lack the constitution for suicide and I have commitments that I must fulfill that take priority over my preferences.

Regarding all the requirements of living in society that you mentioned, I don’t assign emotional value to them as the ramifications of breaking the rules are greater than the temporary satisfaction of defiance.

Back in the 80s we had a school on a small army post in northern CA. Very sparsely populated area. I think it was considered an isolated site (nuke storage). Civilians could come and go to use the post office and a lot of women hung out at the small club they had. We called them buffarillas. Most were looking for husbands
If you are talking about Sierra Army Depot I wouldn't describe it as small. Maybe a small population but lots and lots of cool stuff there.

Titanium sleeve barrels

Meh...
Another day, another gimmick.
Tensioned/sleeved barrels have been around forever (Straightjacket, and whatever the fuck they were called before that...)

Not anything like CF wrap.
It's a sleeve, titanium in this case (Straightjacket uses aluminum) and the void between the sleeve and the barrel core is filled with some sort of proprietary epoxy compound. Thermal conductivity is gonna depend on the compound filling the void and not the titanium sleeve.

Add in Air Force.... I'm thinking "hog call" at Mildenhall AB. IYKYK.

When does the winning start?

Ending the USAID bullshit is huge, no more tax dollars going to fund polish gay pride parades and mongolian sex changes, at least until the next Demoncrat gets in office

Border Security, the Home Depot parking lots are starting to look like Home Depot again

The previous administration flooded the Midwest with subhumans from Haiti and other places but Trump is slowly kicking them back out

Tax cuts is a marginal win

Rolling back a lot of the tranny insanity that was allowed, no more men in women's sports etc

They tried hard to pull us into war with Iran but he didn't fall for it

Some changes to automotive rules that should slowly bring the cost of cars down a little bit (mileage, EV mandate crap going away)

*************

Senate Republicans are still asshats which is slowing down a lot of the stuff that should be happening like the Short Act/HPA, drill baby drill type stuff, and still spending too much money on stuff

Trump could do more exec orders on 2A but he hasn't, probably because he has no idea & nobody around to tell him

Elon's temper tantrums have a point, the DOGE cuts need to be further codified
hope you are right and my doubts don't materialize. the answer will be clear enough in 1 year from now.

When does the winning start?

I was the same way about Ray-Gun but he hosed us bad with 922(0) as well as lots of other stuff, but no one wants to talk about. Like the fact he had to except bush 1 as VP to be POTUS so that POS bush could be assured the next POTUS. No one wants to talk about bush being a major player in/of the CFR commission or plank holder in/of the NWO/OWO. Or the fact S. Butler outed his Grandfather to Roosevelt about wanting to over throw the Gov after Butler was hired by Prescott Bush to do so,... Most people can't see the Forrest for the trees, when a long game is being ran,...
you are pissing me off-because i can not say you are wrong about any in your above 2 posts. your conflating the ROL with fear of losing control should be etched in stone. ashamed i didn't think of it. i know the ROL is a control item. but i didn't see their obsession with maintaining it as manifesting fear and the knowledge that if an anticipated end stage event happens the "right" would lose any acceptance of it. i have always known that the ROL is a distraction item and an excuse to do nothing effective. just didn't add fear to the reasons they push it.
yes,we all know who "they" are. deep state,NWO, corrupt academia,just about any agency of the fed gov. pick a label. pick a name.

PRS Talk PRS Match participation taking a hit in 2025?

I’m not a prs member and I don’t travel over 2 hours but for me on the matches close by I wasn’t going to pay 350 for the same thing again.
I did shoot the grave stone but that’s just because it was my first time going and someone was driving me, I won’t be paying 350 for it again.

Now that there are a couple club matches within two hours I may never shoot a two day again. Sure as hell won’t at over 300.

I know people have to make a living, but I don’t need to subsidize someone’s 80k dollar truck.

So maybe that’s small matches cannibalizing the larger… but from my perspective it’s the larger matches pushing me out and smaller matches stepping up and filling in the void.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Lost power in Kerrville at 0400, came back on at 1245.
Several homes and a number or RV’s by the river washed away, several cars, people missing, and/or dead. Our club Radio Facility is. Still dry, going back to check this afternoon, as a second surge is expected. There was a hell of a 4th of July party scheduled for the park, which is under 10 ft of water. The stage and sound gear all washed downstream. Some RV parks are right next to the water, which will put them under anywhere from a few feet to 10 feet under water. The water was up to the height of the stripped bark on those trees. This was a serious and sudden flood.
Living by the water can be a wonderful lifestyle, but when a river goes all Mother Nature on you it's anything but.........
