Solus or Origin for first custom build?

I have a couple Origins and a Solus. The Origin overall is a better action but the Solus isnt far behind in my opinion.

The Solus has some really nice features that are hard to not like....trigger hanger, integral rail, dual ejectors, 60° bolt. Savage/origin barrels.

Buy both.

Trigger hanger is preferred? I would never buy an action that had one. Whenever you see people having trigger issues always seems to be a trigger hanger action a majority of the times.

Aero Solus stock barrel change is absolute war

Perhaps when big green shut down, rather than retire, the incredible hulk went to Tikka then Aero to tighten barrels. 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve no idea why people have so much issue with removing Tikka barrels. I’ve been doing a ton of them the last few years and haven’t had one that was even remotely stubborn.

This should be a wake up call. No or less fertilizer = very bad juju. While I am a huge fan of natural fertilizers, how much cow, pig and chickenshit would be required to keep both meat and produce prices at affordable levels? And then calculate in the infrastructure and supply chain costs. Our leaders wanted a global supply chain and an ever increasing population to increase GDP, now the consequences could cut in the other direction.

Buy local.

If you don’t understand how fertilizers of all types are critical for our food supply you are way behind the curve. But I don’t think Washington knows that at our core the entire world is at its base still an agrarian society and always will be, granted with increasing degrees of technology.

Would our soils and our people be better off with natural fertilizers? Yup. But that is not what we are set up for and the transition would be extremely painful. Like starvation painful at this point. Most people never understand how fragile this whole setup is from a food perspective. It makes uranium a footnote; if you don’t have a population you don’t need the power generation of uranium. Unless you just fling open the borders. But that’s just more mouths to feed. See the issue that extends way beyond Ukraine?

It all comes down to the carrying capacity of land. That is literally what Graham and other morons are jacking around with and they don’t even know it.

And just like that, fertilizers are now potentially on the chopping block. It wasn't hard to see this one coming. The secondary and tertiary impacts if this happens are not hard to predict either, but most will ignore it and not associate it with the Ukraine stupidity. At least until it hits their pocketbook.

If U.S. Applies Secondary Sanctions to Russia - May CUT OFF FERTILIZER to USA​

Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

I was on an old fashioned roll for a while. It dawned on me that the fancy 🍒 cherries cost was nuts.

I bought high quality regular cherries and infused them myself.

Smaller cans / jars get a shot and larger got 1 1/2 or 2. It doesn't take long to get them infused. I would poor off all juice reserved put them in a mason 🫙 add the whiskey and top off with reserved juice.

Yes the Luxardo cherries are very good, a couple imitation brands out there not worth their price .

For your old fashioned use the savings and get premium quality real 🍁 syrup.

Beyond Pissed Applied Ballistics Licensing

In summary I think it’s fair to say you think I should have bought a new license.

I disagree where the last “3 installs” were on the same computer. A computer being “fixed” shouldn’t have required me to purchase a new license or the ass pain it was to get a “5th” (by your count).

A rebuilt computer is not the same computer. I can attest to this, because I have rebuilt computers. Reusing the shell, and monitor (even if its the same laptop screen), and even GPU (in your case its onboard graphics driver so doesn't matter) doesn't constitute the same computer.

I sent in a request for you to get not 1 but 2 extra free licenses, so I wouldn't say "should have required". Otherwise I would have just outright denied the request. Should have bought, and did buy is an entirely different discussion. Take the two free lunches, and a deep breath, and have a good friday.

Your experience with the Razor 1-10x on lower mag

Wormydog1724
I use my 1-10x in carbine matches from 5y-350y all the time. I hardly ever have it on true 1x, usually 1.5x-2.5x on the close stuff and I might dial up to 6-8x on the far stuff if from a barricade, and up to 10x if able to go prone. The 1.5x-2x is just preference for me, just something I've always done and like. When I know I'm shooting close, I'll crank the illumination all the way up so my eye catches the red reticle quick.

I've shot the same matches with red dots and I just prefer LPVO's. I've been shooting with LPVO's since 2010, starting in 3-gun with a millet dms 1-4x.

I'm not going to argue with you. But, you cannot deny there is something special about doing it over and over again and maintaining that attention to detail and precision.

Cooking isn't hard.
For almost a hundred years Michelin Stars can tell you how good a restaurant and chef are. You can't get a star by opening a great restaurant. They send a team of inspectors/critics to eat there (anonymously, they pay their own tab) four times a year. If four consecutive visits come back with high enough scores you will get a star. Once you have a star they send their team every 18 months. If after ten visits you have a high enough score you will get a second star (nine years). The first star is a big deal. The second one is HUGE. A third star is by far the hardest to get, and represents everything that it took to get the first two, and a uniqueness that can't be found anywhere else at any price...
Getting a star is based on:
  1. Quality of the products
  2. Mastery of flavor and cooking techniques
  3. The personality of the chef in their cuisine
  4. Value for money
  5. Consistency between visits.
You have to do it very well and have all five to be considered for a star. On any given Sunday many restaurants can get the first four. Both chefs and restaurant owners will tell you that the most difficult one is #5. Most people can be great for a day. Being good every time the doors open and for every patron is where the biggest separation lies between greatness and mediocrity.

I would venture that under your tutelage and equipment it would not be overly difficult to preform all the operations to produce a precision rifle that shoots straight. Doing it right every time all the time is another matter entirely. Don't sell yourself short Mr. Lott. People don't buy your rifles because you can make a good one and you've made a couple of good ones. They buy them because it isn't a crap shoot, and their expectations will be met every time. THAT is a bigger dividing line than anything else.

There's a life lesson in there somewhere.

Thanks for the kind words, and yes there is a life lesson in there.

Colossians 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

If you willingly do it for the Lord, you will always do it right, no matter what.

As for the myth of over stabilization I will include some info from Berger

"One myth related to BC and stability warns of the consequences of over-stabilizing bullets with too fast of a twist. The myth states that: spinning a bullet too fast can cause excessive stability and prevent the bullet from tracking with the trajectory, so it falls ‘nose-high’ on the downrange end, and causes more drag. This myth is easily dispelled if you recall the definition of stability, which is that the projectile aligns with the oncoming air flow. It does this even as the trajectory bends, and even for high SG’s obtained with fast twist. In fact, doppler radar data consistently shows that faster twist and higher SG’s actually reduce drag, especially at transonic speed for bullets fired at long range. The myth warning of overstability stems from high angle artillery fire where rounds could sometimes fail to track, and fall base first to the ground. This is not a problem in the realm of small arms rifle bullets shooting at small angles (under 30 degrees)."
