OK this actually brings up a need I have - do they have something like this in a consumer type version? I'm not talking about the ones you buy at Harbor Freight, Northern tool, etc that have a handle and wheels - those suck. I need to pick up lots of nails from a pile of pallets that were burned.
Something like this maybe…Going to need to mount it on something. They make a small 30” one


Or, if you need something small, this little one that pulls 100 pounds would do the trick

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

Sounds like all this is is genetically modified grey wolf made to LOOK like a dire wolf - beyond appearance it's still just a grey wolf, albeit a genetically modified one.

So, not a dire wolf brought back from extinction....
think you are right. don't look like renditions i have seen of dire wolves. whatever. gonna be another hot topic in places like this. that being the value and fun of the pit.

group by on M40a1 barrels

Guys it's last call tomorrow. I'm not beating anyone up but here is who we haven't heard from to my knowledge.

@Toftwo
@Monty111
@dpw4x4
@5077
@Stevo86
@molonlave

If any of the above sent in the order and didn't receive a confirmation. Beat me up so I can get your copy to you.

If you don't want one... not a big deal. I'll just cross you off the SH list that I had going.

I just don't want anyone to be forgotten about. That's all.

Later, Frank

The real issue is the advancement and acceptance of human genetic engineering that comes from the learning by way of these experiments. Customized babies, humans bred and modified for certain characteristics, etc.
They posit that is already happening in china, and we all know how that turns out.

Mangy dog

i thought feral dogs and coyotes ran in the same nitch and actually interbred if the yotes didn't eat the newer to the feral life dogs. no personal experience,just wondering.

Out here they run separately. There are several neighbors within a couple mile range that have somewhere between 5-10 dogs that just run loose. The problem is that they pack up and turn into 70-90lb coyotes. Add in that a ton of dogs get dumped out here every year by worthless individuals.

I've not lost a calf to a coyote to my knowledge. I've certainly seen yotes run deer here.

I have lost calves to dogs. I've seen dogs pack up on my calves before. I've seen dogs pack up and chase my cows before. And dogs definitely like to run deer around here too.

They sell large ones for trucks /plow blade attachment etc..but I never saw a powered one for outside use

Iron Bridge Armory (IBA)XM3 build not clone correct

We took in the Remington Custom shop shortly after Remington purchased Dakota Arms in 2009. If memory serves me correctly it was around June or so of that year.
Did you guys in SD do any work on the MSR/PSR/PSR2 rifles or did those all go thru the factory/military/LE division at Remington in NY still?

A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day

I'm not sure this will do, as it does come in 36mm. But it's not very cantilevered though. However, the picture shows a K328i mounted in the rings.

Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

That's a 318i on an AR10.

They make a mount for the 328i that works on an AR10 but it's not cantilevered enough for a 15.

Accessories Authentic @theis striped uppers

Uppers sold so far have worked perfectly according to buyers
They were higher quality items.

The shop they came from / we chose for original actions was a serious aerospace place. He was proud of his quality record.

Now we might have had some that didn’t make the cut or revisions. But the bull of them were good to go spec wise

‘Entry level’ chassis

The challenge seems to be finding anyone that has them in stock. I’d prefer one in ODG with the 17” forend if I went this route.


This chassis does look awesome. Wish the forend was a little longer. Do you have a rifle with this chassis?


Ideally it would be up to $1250 with accessories. I’d rather spend say $800 on a chassis and $450 on accessories if needed than $1250 and still need $4-500 in accessories to get it right.
You can get the Xylo forend extension if you need longer. It’s rock solid.

my personal,only,take is that i have no desire to see big cats,bears,sharks,orcas,barracuda,foxes,gators wiped out. i think the presence of carnivores is something that adds to the planet being a good place to live. i will say that feral cats,dogs and coyotes are a different subject. i am not a rancher,chicken worker or stock man so i understand there are other points of view. most large carnivores are probably doomed anyway.
i have seen the slaughter of sharks and it is just a sick and disgusting activity . this often comes from commercial fisherman who in my experience in FL are essentially criminal exploiters of a resource. basically corrupt gov supported economic poaching. i'd make it illegal planet wide if i had the power. of course,that would demand rational agricultural and live stock management. that will never happen.
this genetic work is fascinating but very scary. shows the ability to advance the singularity in new ways. i fear the tech will be used in ways that sci fi lit and movies have forecast many times

Ballistic calculators disagree with my actual elevation amounts - help please!

It has also become more common for f-class the adjust the target so that the actual shots are either 1 to 1.5 moa high or low. In this way the shots do not shoot away the scoring rings at 3 and 9 o'clock the shottists use as aiming points.
We do the same, and quit calibrating the targets due to the constant changing of POI/POA on the screen.

With that said, shooters should be skeptical of using an E-target to establish a hard zero, unless it's their own target with confirmed calibration.

What MOA dot for target Aquisition on bolt guns?

not to put away anyones opinions as i can totally understand why alot of people may not want an RDS and they are proficient with no assistance. To revise the goal of this thread:
To those who use an RDS for Target acquisition, what MOA size dot are you using and why?
To those who use an RDS for Target acquisition, have you attempted co-witnessing the RDS with a Vortex impact 4k? any significant gains or losses?
