I'll take this per our text

Seems like we have similar, slightly different perspectives.

I still have one 3.5-26 and several TT along with all the other top contenders. The 3.5-26 was pound for pound a better optic, optically, than any other scope I had/have. Could be my bias... but I don't think so.

I'll do a side-by-side test soon, to jog my memory.

Buh bye troll.

This came to me as i ate my breakfast this morning:
Ezekiel 22:30


And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

I hope you are treated exactly as you deserve.

I’ve had it for years, true. No complaints on this one, it’s been a really good scope.

Do you guys x-ray the action after additive manufacturing, there is always a percentage of in-fill that has voids or not sintered.

I think it’s .5-2% depending on a million reasons and random, so it could be spread out or a pocket right behind the lug area. One could actually be power fluctuation.

Race teams xray all Am parts they xray most parts anyway but Am parts go through the process looking for voids in critical areas

I looked into additive manufacturing 2-3 years ago from a company in Georgia. ICMY, leaders in additive manufacturing. They actually plugged right into the high tension wires and then converted on site to reduce power fluctuations. Was great talking to the owner, he was a gun guy so he was in a few of the calls once it got a little more serious

They suggested AM for prototype but since the final dimensions need to be touched up anyway it was still cost effective for regular mill/lathe etc.

I was looking into exotic materials and such so I figured the AM process fit the bill but just not yet. Even looked into barrels but they still had to be cut or a button pulled for final dims.

Love to hear if things changed in the last 2-3 years.

There's no bad option in your list, Which ever floats your boat really.

Good find, thanks!

Did you cry for Uvalde? Did you cry for Sandy Hook? Did you cry for Evergreen Colorado? Did you cry for Melissa and Mark Hortman? How about Tamir Rice? Ahmaud Arbery?

It's good to have feelings. I'm not saying it's not (though people like @BCP don't deserve my respect of their feelings). But to selectively have feelings when there is senseless loss of American lives daily makes me question one's morals and by extension the sincerity of those feelings. If you have empathy for one, you should be capable of having empathy for all, regardless of what race or political affiliation they have, because we are all human.

No. I didn't "know" any of those people at all, and I did not see them murdered on video. With the exception of the Hortman's, which was some sort of deranged political killing, not at all clear it was some rightwing thing at all, all of those people were senselessly murdered. There were no political messages scrawled on the shell casings, and they seemed to be murdered is some demonic celebration of death rather than life. I felt sadness and regret for the senseless murder, but the emotional connection was not there. When my friend's 5y/o drown I blubbered like a child I was so sad. When my brother died of a heart attack at a fishing tournament, and my CPR and the efforts of the EMS failed I cried for days, barely got through my eulogy through balling and breathing spasms like a kid, and still feel sadness thinking about it years later.

I am guessing from your picks on what to feel sad about you have some political point to make. Why don't you just make it? Yes, Charlie Kirk was having a huge impact on our national politics, and changing lives for the good if you ask me, and even though he wasn't my "friend" he easily could have been, and would have slid seamlessly into my life. Does that elicit a stronger emotional reaction? Yes, it does. Doesn't seem that complicated.

I didn't "know" Charlie Kirk. I wasn't in his orbit, and didn't really even "follow" him in the modern vernacular, but when I did hear him speak I have to say that we were on the same page, and both understand the difference between propaganda lies and the Truth (capital T). I know he was devoted to his family, and the people coming forward and telling stories about how he lived his life, which none of us knew, are extremely touching. I have to say, that he IS someone we would go boating with and have out to the cabin, and invite on fishing and hunting trips, because he seems exactly like the kind of guy my family associates with regularly. He was certainly more outspoken than anyone I do know personally, but I have to say that his views align perfectly with my own and the vast majority of my friends, and he was killed for openly voicing those views, so yea, hits close to home and elicits a stronger emotional reaction that it would from a complete stranger or someone who believes the opposite of what I believe is the truth in this reality.

So while I might be horrified and sad that anyone in America is murdered for their political views and their exposition of truth and reality, I do feel a stronger connection to the people who see it like I do, and especially anyone who is able to speak the truth so effectively. It is not at all surprising that a happy warrior like him draws the hatred of those who live in lies and venerate them. As was said early and even first, he was killed not just for what he believed, but because he was so effective. The more I learn about him the sadder it is, because he wasn't just an advocate for the truth, he was an exceptional human being who was dedicated to winning the ideological war through dialog and peace, something the other side isn't at all interested in.

How much headspace do you have between new brass and the fired cases? I wonder if it’s still expanding during primary extraction. @alamo5000 touched in this with buffer weight, but I’d be curious if you have a generous chamber.

So, you’re an expert now. And your source is AKMike. It’ll take a lot more training and experience than a drawing for you to hold forth. You’ll find that your source isn’t well thought of, on this forum. Try harder.

I’m running n570 with 230’s at 3000-3050fps. I have a little more room in the tank and had them just over 3100 with 570 and 3150 with rl33 but rl33 wasn’t as stable and 570 shot best here

My late grandfather used to tell us about all the corruption he uncovered when he was director of transportation for school district. His predocesor was doing things like buying new tires for all the busses each year. And paying the premium tire price for the cheapest tire they sold. The man who came to sell him tires was quite upset the gift was over.

His predocesor had 8 secretaries. My grandfather noticed they all just talked on the phone all day. He took out the walls in the rooms that divided their offices. They all quit and he didn't replace a single position.

Any time there is government cheese, that rats show up to collect.

I did a couple years at the IL office of executive inspector general as an investigator. You can’t imagine the scale of the grift in every single org and agency.

I currently work in child protection investigations. We literally make policy to dictate keeping paper copies of all the info in our computers, we then pay a private contractor to keep records in old limestone caves in Missouri or pay a contractor to refurbish an old prison to house those records forever. We buy paper by the cargo ship. I’m too apathetic to find out who we buy it from.
