bump price drop

I’ve thought about the replies here and have realized why the difference in opinion exist in my opinion.

I will preface my statements with a little background. I’ve hunted for 60 of my 64 years.
Hunted on every continent except Antarctica.
I also own and manage thousands of acres for wildlife. Shot everything from mice to elephants.

I’ve also commercially culled animals in both US and Africa. I shoot several hundred varmints each year in the coon, Coyote class. I’ve hunted prairie dogs and ground squirrels extensively. I’ve also guided over 300 hunters to large game.

I say this not to brag but to hopefully show that my opinions are not without some validity.

When I started and well into my hunting I valued bullet expansion, quick kills and imagined they might in some way make up for an off placed bullet

At this point I value penetration with modest expansion. I know where and how to place the bullet exactly where I want it. I want an exit hole. The. 77 SMK delivers that very consistently. On a broadside shoulder shot on a 250 pound deer the SMK will fully penetrate and leave a 1.5” exit wound. It will break the off shoulder on a quartering away shot and leave the same wound exit size. On smaller animals it is a sure but not sudden killer.

YMMV

We were flipping him off when a car pulled out of a driveway and he had to stop. We ALL caught up and jumped on his trunk …roof…then hood like a Steeplechase Barrier. Dented the shit out his car. He just sat there never said a word. We just kept going

Just some perspective...

In the late '90s St. Louis City used the underground chase for their turn-of-the-century steam loop to run the largest fiber optic network anywhere in the country. Indeed, several "telcom hotels" and data hubs bought entire office buildings downtown and turned them into giant server buildings with very few humans needed to run them.

It was obsolete before it was even installed because wavelength division multiplexing had already been perfected, it just wasn't commercially available yet, and the switching gear wasn't available yet. The entire volume of signals running through that two foot bundle of fiber optic lines could all go through a single strand.

I see this the same way. They are building these gargantuan facilities all running on the binary silicon microchip. They are really, really close to the qubit. When quantum computing becomes reality (I am quite sure it will in a very short time), these facilities may become instantly obsolete and go from massive building size down to a wristwatch, just like the microchip took a room sized Turing Machine down to a pocket calculator.

Now, I don't think it will be as fast and decisive as the fiber optic thing, and it hasn't already been figured out, but there are a lot of people and a lot of money working on it every day, and I am very confident that it's going to happen, and it will follow the same pattern that all this technology has, and it will go from some centralized source to everyone having an AI in their pocket, or on their wrist, or on their lapel...

$990 for complete rifle/ components
$790 for the upper/ components
Last price drop before I keep it! I also added rimfires to trade option.

The stratomatch is where its at. Cut rifle vs CHF makes a huge difference in accuracy.

If you are going to run the gun like a dirty whore at short in distances, then the CHF is fine. If you care about shooting small groups, get the cut rifle.

I dont know about that brother, every single heavy contour Geissele chromed lined barrel I've tested so far has been Sub Half MOA capable. Their CHF Chromed barrels are the best I've seen, they look just as good as all the Knights Cut rifled chromed barrels I've inspected.

You think West wants meeting because its winning? Situation is beyond fucked up for US let alone EU and only way out is to somehow avoid complete military defeat and try to spin it as agreement due to Russias weakness. Will it happen? I bet not Russia will not fall for it again and Trump will be politely informed that in areas of nuke control and bilateral issues we can and should talk but regarding Ukieland and Eurowhores he can fuck off and if adamant in pursuing same shit also the bilateral issues are off the table.

#2 still available

TTT

I would argue that Z has no position to bargain from. Also, I strongly believe that he is living on borrowed time. The citizens have had enough of this bullshit.

Also I'm not sure what Trump has for bargaining chips....

This was my grandfather's 336 in 35 Rem. from 1950. It took me 40 years to kill a deer with it.

I assume people will receive notice to pay for their no-cost preorder first, no???

I wasn’t in the Navy, but it looked to me like the larger Chicom ship cut its Coast Guard ship off to avoid a collision with the Philippine CG. Maybe worried about an incident?

This stupid shit is complete lunacy, this madness has to be stopped. The techbros have done this in small scale with shipping containers set up to mine bitcoins and crypto. I cannot fathom the trouble something this size would cause
