All the beefiest uppers and HG's still show some deflection in POI when loaded. Is that really what you want your scope interfacing with?

Will it matter with an LPVO?
Will it matter if you load the HG the same every time?
Probably not, but why introduce a potential variable, however tiny, if you can help it.
Also, there are plenty of good cantilever mounts that don't cost $300.

I know this ain't what your askin about but, consider one day getting an older Smith from the '70's - namely a model 27-2 or 19-3
Here's a couple 27-2 's one 5" the other a 6"
These old guns have a definite "magic" to them - especially the ""3T" versions as shown, with their Target Trigger, Target Hammer & Target Stocks (grips)
I've never had a revolver feel as good in hand as these do. Especially the model 19 Combat Magnum - as it's a little smaller than the 27 - but, never a nicer revolver tha. the model 27. She's a real Cadillac

I did this 30" Lija in .223 WSSM a while back, it gets 4200 fps with the factory Nosler 55 grain rounds. It uses the .300 mag bolt and a modified .308 mag.
It is very short, shoots well but has a terrible time ejecting. Lots of velocity with explosive results!

That looks like an absolute riot to shoot with vaporizing speed! Didn’t even know that round existed.

The nice thing though is everyone universally agrees upon the processes by which to go about it...

I asked 3 reloaders the same question and got 5 answers…

Eh, nothing too mysterious. It sounds like you're a bit on the undergassed side and the different pressure curves of the various powders are enough to get you a little closer to the edge of function.

I’ve noticed that too that a lot of them prairie dog off the rifle pretty bad. Some don’t and still you see so many of them not appear to make corrections based off the miss. Do you think they have their scope turned up too much? Or?

From listening to the shooters explain misses ever all the episodes, I’ve come to believe they don’t make adjustments because they didn’t spot their misses. If I was trying this, I would want a 30 cal and heavy high bc bullet. It would buck the wind better and be easier to spot misses if it was sufficiently heavy and had a good muzzle brake.

It would be interesting if he ran an episode with only ranked PRS shooter and another with F-class shooters. It seems many of the people he has on have rarely or never shot that far.

LOL. Yeah. Both sub 250 rounds. He ended up using 230’s…

Anyone watch any of this stuff on Reddit? It's crazy.

All of the footage they show in Ukraine is so bizarre with all of the drone use. For someone who holds a sense of regret for not going into the military, I could not imagine fighting today if this is truly what things have come to.

The whole thing is camera footage of drones just taking out soldiers on foot. As a foot soldier, you literally have no chance of hiding anywhere. Forget running and gunning, these guys are on camera trying to hide from someone behind a screen with a remote just hunting them down with a drone in the sky.

If it's actually real, it is scary AF and also cannot imagine how someone can voluntarily sign up to be in those fields. It just looks like you have 0 chance of anything.

I’d definitely be packing a shotgun

110gr .308 TAP Urban ammo and probably DEI boots pulling the triggers, lucky if they hit is lungs.

ETA: not boots, "trained" correctional volunteers.

Creedmoor, of course, would have been the right choice, or Valkyrie .223, instead of relying on Fudd boolits.

Or they are well trained and did it in purpose…..if I was on the firing squad and was about to kill the worst of the worst.id make sure it was slow

Ah yes, I present to you the overweight, pale neck beard "welder" . Hes one of those faggots that reports comments he doesn't like on instagram while searching for the latest "drip" camo and "kit". GTFO and go back to Reddit, BTW the vitamin D you require is not in Tyrones pants. Get some sunlight for fucks sake.

Couldn’t have said it any better 100% agree

Holy necrothread! But Win model 70’s are the bees-neez. Truly an under appreciated action that has stood the test of time. It is a shame aftermarket support is all but dead.

Almost all great mentions. Maybe I missed it, but no love for Ritchie Blackmore?

He's certainly a fine guitarist. This one always gives me chills. I have a first pressing of the vinyl.

Its really easy to tell how old you guys are by your choices...

Never heard anyone say that gilmour was better than eddie or vai that didnt have silver hair.
Not going to argue jimi.

Shred

Hey, man - I've got news for you...the folks that think Eddie or Vai are the best are silver-haired too, now!

But to be honest, the title of the thread was "Best Solo", not Best Guitarist, and often some of the greatest solos aren't always played by the greatest guitarists. I doubt anyone would argue someone like Gilmour (including Gilmour himself) could play on a technical level with Eddie or Val, or a few hundred others out there, but it doesn't mean that some of his "solos" don't belong in a discussion of the greatest. That's my take, anyway. And certainly Eddie and Vai have works of their own that belong in that same discussion.

On that topic, here's another one I can't believe I haven't seen mentioned. Absolutely insane player, and "Extremely" well-rounded in his approach with elements of Funk, Blues, Classical, and Shred all woven in to his own thing that defines him on his own level (see what I did there?).

Nuno, back in the day!

And one more from back in the day. Just trying to play the RHYTHM guitar riff on this one, and maintain the groove and feel he gets out of it, will drive you insane. There's a cool Intro, but the actual song and riff I'm talking about begin at 1:39:

This had to be a parts failure. Maintenance records will show whether it was properly maintained. Should be easy get to the bottom of this. Horrible loss of life for everyone involved. Prayers.

My 300bo doesn’t lock back on some varieties of factory ammo. It’s 100% with my reloads. I don’t buy the factory ammo that it doesn’t run with…

Who can getbin contact with 22man.?? Or which one of you is going to be the first out there with a 22lr and put all those other calibers to shame. Lol

Ronin22 said:
Yup, got to fully employ "follow through" and watch impact through the scope, or it's game over. Also, setting magnification to have enough FOV to spot splash/misses. Add in mirage from both atmosphere and barrel heat, and it's of the ultimate importance. I think mirage screws a lot of the shooters. Don't appear they can even tell which direction the target area wind flag is blowing, or even splash when using proper follow through.

The ability to act off mirage and read wind, not just at the target through a scope but also down the range takes a bit of experience watching the environment. The best comp shooters have a pretty well defined and practiced process flow for getting down behind their rifle, in position and reading and then adjusting to conditions.

It seems that seeing that splash is the real hard part. I think, with some of the conditions on the show and level of mirage probably at play, spotting splash is not straight forward.

How hard is it to rechamber a RS700 ? Do they use barrel nuts or some kind of proprietary attachment ?
