Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

Revelation 6:8, the rider of the pale horse is named Death, and Hades (the grave) follows him, with both being given power over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword, famine, plague, "and wild beasts"

Makes me wonder on that last part of the scripture because = Oh lets play God - unintended consequences.
I'm not gonna worry about the wild beast unless they cook up an Alien Queen. I'm more concerned with what is being cooked up in labs like Wuhan or the ones we don't know about.

Look what Maggot just found.

The rifle I always wanted and will never have. My understanding is that it is the Squirrel Rifle of Perfection. Anything accurate to take tree rats out of trees with more than fair regularity, is very, very good.

Yes we still do have at least one lever action in the house. A JM Marlin branded 1894 in .44. It’s a certified deer killer. Cute as a bug, deadly as a rattler.
Yep, my 39A went down the road ( yeah stupid move). Currently have something different, not better l, but different. We all need to have have one. Again, that is a Kick Ass find to be used and passed down.

Never have? They are cheaper than a tier2 scope.

Get one! They are awesome! And cheap (by SH standards)

Lynx 94 Target - The Straight Pull Sako?

A brief update - Lynx are out of business and spare magazines are no longer available.

I’ve confirmed that the magazines are very robust, but are completely custom and were made by Lynx.

The three options for anyone that stumbles over this thread one day:

1. Custom make new magazines - far from ideal
2. Adapt a magazine of similar dimensions.
3. Restock the rifle and convert to AICS magazines, or modify the existing stock and replace its DBM to accept AICS magazines.

I’ll update on the solution, leaning towards number 3.

Maggie’s Best Guitar Solo

Great question with an impossible answer. There are sooo many that qualify as candidates. I ask this question to myself on a regular basis because at church we will often close out the service with an iconic guitar solo as the congregation is dismissed. My criteria is that everyone instantly recognizes the song from just the solo, and that it makes them smile, whoop and holler when they hear it. A lot of times, the “best” solos aren’t really that technically difficult to play (Comfortably Numb, for example), they were just really well designed and executed. When you’re playing it and they start singing along with it, you’re over the target of a “greatest” solo.
That said, Comfortably Numb is at least tied with anyone else for top dog! People actually weep when Gilmour plays it.

RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

Oh, and I have posted this elsewhere, but here is a guy who never shot anything Long Range trying my seven PRC for the first time at that 12 in.² plate at 1000 yards off of my 34L

That TFCT33 is gonna be perfect for this hunt especially because we are carrying stone glacier sky talus 6900. So the length isn’t gonna be any problem at all. Also, there’s gonna be two of us, but we’re gonna share a rifle so we can afford The bigger heavier, more stable tripod.

RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

So it will surprise none of you that I wound up with three different tripods. And I may keep them all.

In my own final analysis, the 14L has plenty of stability for seated or kneeling shots, but if you’ve ever handled a three series, you know that you give up a lot of stability. So if you really need to squeeze off that extra pound or 18 ounces or whatever then go with the 14.

When I realized how capable we were with the seven PRC off of a tripod out to 1000 yards on a 12 inch plate, I realized I didn’t want to give up any stability to save that last pound so I bought a 33. It is just over 4 1/2 pounds. I suppose I could see why somebody would get the 34 because it would pack a little shorter and only add 2 ounces. For me, I like the simplicity of just having to worry about two leg extensions rather than three.

After this analysis, the one that really has me scratching my head is the common compromise of the 24L. You’re gonna give up a fair amount of stability compared to the three series and all you gain is 9 inches so if you’re really tall or need to do a bunch of stuff standing I get it. It might be the best all-around compromise if you want to truly stand for blasting or whatever. But if I wanted to stand and shoot, I would definitely wanna step up to the 3 series

That’s my current two cents worth I’m sure it will change with more time in the field
