Linking for @Dead Eye Dick

When your runways get cratered, you really have no choice but to cease air combat operations if there aren’t any divert bases with logistics to support continued sortie regeneration with armed and fueled birds.

It’s one of the insidious things about precision cruise missiles that are stealth. Pakistan focused on Defensive Counter-Air, while India focused on precision strike at key facilities until Pakistan could no longer fight.

For the OP, it might be best to mount yer scope upside down to aid in hold unders, this is how they do it in Australia.

That's why everyone like them lo-pro turrets.

Thanks for info

I feel your pain, I was there as well and it was my first regional qualifier match, and first 1:45 par times per stage. I ended up with 54 impacts out of the 82. I had some terrible mental mistakes, one being the culvert stage, I was so worried about remembering the COF that I dialed for 300 yards and not 500 like I had planned to in my head. And of course it was a no dial stage. Then on the container stage I changed my plan on how I was gonna shoot it to tripod rear last second and didn’t set my tripod up high enough so both of those stages resulted in just 1 impact each.

I didn't know you were there. I wish I would have known.

I shoot a .100 and like it for 77s in prs tac stuff. The 90s arent that much longer and can be made to cram into a mag. For the 95s youre going to want to consider something much longer and I wouldnt think mag feeding would be very feasible if that matters to you. Most f class guys Ive read that use 95s have a.180 throat or something. Its crazy for lesser bullets. Youll likely also want a 1-6.5 twist instead of 1-7.

Personally Id build a hotter rifle like a 22 creed for those heavy heavy 22 bullets.

The Pakistani Air Force officer who briefed the press was doing his best impression of a senior USAF officer briefing at Red Flag, using as many words common in US Air power terminology and even his mannerisms and sentences mimicking that culture.

Pakistani Air Force has been trained by the USAF at Red Flag and Green Flag back in 2010 and 2016, and equipped with Block 52 and F-16A/B MLU upgrades, which have pretty impressive BVR missile capabilities.

This air battle involved 70 Indian Air Force aircraft, and 40 Pakistani Air Force aircraft. They were concentrated on defeating the Rafales, as they knew it was the pacing threat for them in the air.

India was still able to successfully strike ground targets with stand-off munitions like the SCALP, so this was a case of sexy Air-to-Air victories vs significant damage to critical nodes on the ground, including PAF C-130s and other military targets.

Losing a Rafale is a pretty big price to play though, and we’re waiting on confirmation of losses of 3 Rafales, MiG-29, Su-30, and a drone. India obviously doesn’t want to provide immediate Battle Damage Assessment to its adversary, just as Pakistani doesn’t want to detail all the damage to its targets.

Prayers up.

most money is on the CIA but prob a joint op. Janet Reno the best AG ever? wow,guess Kash isn't keeping you FBI assets busy enough. or,more trolls have been put on the payroll? it is amusing (or concerning?) that this forum is getting so much more federal notice these days. oh well nothing new really. guess the rock has just gotten turned over recently so things are starting to crawl out from under it. tell your handler that your lack of subtlety is amusing. also,tell them that the juvenile ad hominems are pretty lame. i've used a few tonite to see for myself and have confirmed that they don't really add anything.

What’s funny is you guys are so blind to how much like the left and BLM you are.

Y'all are bitching about illegals (and right fully so) but aren’t considering the same who did this-



Did rugby ridge AND Waco and allowed the first WTC splosions.

Learn some freaking history ya BITCHES

JANET RENO made you!!
Now you’re blaming the dumbass local boys for everything you don’t like about policing.

I like how you guys think, but damn! Quit being so much like the pink vagina hat wearing commies and direct this rage at the corrupt politicians who made you, and made the dumbass local boys what they are.

Usually that goes:
“Hey, the website says you have 105s in stock, can you confirm so I can come buy some?”
“Yeah, I don’t see any”
“Okay but the website says they’re available”
“oh yeah, well, it does look like we have some in the back”
“Ok. I’d like 3 boxes of 500. Can you make sure there are that many before I drive an hour?”

At which point it goes one of two ways. Either the guy says there’s lots and just come get them or that he will pull them and hold them at the counter.

If it’s option a, you drive an hour on faith and usually have to go back through the “I don’t see any”, “but the website says so”, “let me check” routine after you get there.

It just seems like it would be a ton less hassle to have a pay now, pick up in store option. For all of us.

Yeah,

If I say they are in stock it is because I went and grabbed them and put them on my desk to hold. I have tons of Dealers who do local pick. If I say it is here then it is here. There is a pick up in store option on the check out too.

Or just call me.

I just thought the illumination on the NX8 was a little weak compared to the ATACR.

They're close to identical.

Tested it for you.

In our prayers .

I'm using a 75mW red viz, and it works very well, although the trace in clean air is rather dull vs green. I use it for coyotes.

Dogtown said:

I like both for different reasons. The NX8 is a really small lightweight LPVO while the ATACR is bigger and more robust. I really like the NX8 on little setups where I'm looking to keep the weight down and not too fussed about illumination, while the ATACR goes on a rifle I'm running harder and I'm using the illumination. Those are the main things for me personally, but YMMV.

Why is illumination a factor?

I have an AR15 (Colt) that would shoot to one POI when feeding rds from the left side of the mag and another POI when feeding from the right side. Someone on another forum suggested that I remove the ejector and round off the sharp edges of the ejector face. This did indeed help a lot with my problem and I now do this to all of my ejectors if they are not already rounded. The theory is that when feeding from the right side of the mag, the ejector's sharp edges were providing more resistance when the case head slides up the bolt face during feeding. This would result in the BCG settling in a slightly different position relative to the round and chamber. Allegedly. True or not, the problem pretty much went away when I rounded the ejector.
I round mine by chucking the ejector into a drill and holding the ejector at an angle against an old "carborundum" sharpening stone while spinning it with the drill. All it takes is to round off the sharp edge.
Since that time (early 2000's) I've seen pictures of high end bolts with with the ejector face being completely hemispherical.

I don’t put a bolt together without doing this for larger case head cartridges.

The Dutch started doing it with their AR-10 production way back in the late 1950s-1960s, and those rifles tend to be freakin’ accurate, unbelievably so in the samples I have shot.



I mainly got into that technique from Hi-Power shooters who were shooting 6mm PPC, then 6mm AR, using Colt 7.62x39 and later Grendel bolts when Grendel came along in the early 2000s.

The reason I do it is for reliable right side cartridge presentation, and I never though about it contributing to consistent chambering and bolt lock-up. Could be another contributing factor into why I consistently see such good results with pretty much every barrel I have built-up around.

45-90 also points out that he uses tunable alignment bearings on his bolt carriers, so the tail can’t get out-of-center at any time during the cycling of the action.

Les Baer and someone else used to make Match carriers with oversized rails that ride inside the carrier raceway tighter, though that can degrade reliability really quick as the gun fouls.

There’s also a buffer with a rounded alignment dome that sits in the center of the back of your carrier to keep it aligned.

Squaring the receiver face and uses high-end barrel extensions make a difference.

When you add all these little techniques up, it can start shaving off fractions of an inch in average group sizes.

I feel it’s best to start from the get-go with as many things setting you up for success if you’re truly chasing bug hole groups.

I wish AA still made that tri-lobal firing pin that doesn’t drag as much inside the firing pin channel.
