You think I generated that with AI? Ha ha!

It couldn’t be that I’ve been studying all this before AI was a thing, have traveled to most of the places being discussed, or have been overlaying weapons systems metrics over the map since I was a kid.

A subscription to STRATFOR really drove my perspective on the US position in the world on top of travel to 30 different countries.

But you can find posts of mine way before AI ever existed explaining the exact same thing. For the DC corruption and lobbyists, I did an image search of lobbyists exiting the Capitol Bldg. You can go read This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral for further research.

AI has not caught up to my experience base yet. I tested it recently with 3 easy questions about F-35 and Rafale unit flyaway and unit program costs, and it doesn’t know the difference between the 2, got everything wrong.

I’ve laid out the US geography dominance in posts over the past 2 decades. Aside from all the travel and DoD perspective on Strategic and Tactical Weapons systems envelopes, I attribute STRATFOR’s US geography lessons for all of that.

Multiple universities, private schools, and military assignments across generations never explained US geography to me the way STRATFOR did.

You really striked out on that recent h4895 purchase. I have literally been waiting months to find it and missed the sale by maybe 45 minutes.

I'm debating if to try benchmark from brownells. With free hazmat and 10% off comes out to like ~$430ish to my door.

You think that's a good deal? I'm still thinking about it.

I was unsure if you could thread the factory fluted barrels, Im sure you could on the end, but if I were to have it cut shorter I dont know if you could do that.

You could still do it. You would have an interrupted shoulder so it wouldn't look very aesthetic but performance will not degrade by it.

Except I just realized these primers are notorious for having pinholes

I’ll take them.

Model 7 should be the right one. I have used these heads for multiple actions and the work excellent!

Do you have to buy the full kit to use this or just the head? Was hoping it would hookup to a standard extension wrench.

It certainly appears that the level on top of the turret is not level, about to the degree that the reticle is off plumb.

Whether it matches the level on the rail or not, I can't tell from the photo.

Yes, but all the stability calculators I tried give a result saying it should be fine (stable) given the muzzle velocity I'll have. Maybe Sierra mentions the 1:8 twist rate for other calibers with lower muzzle velocities which would not be enough to stabilize the bullet.

I just hope it will work, if not, I'll go for 220s if I can find some.

I'd go CDG if you plan to shoot the 6.5 creed and use AW mags. Go with the MDT Elite.

I ended up running the Hawkins Long Range Hybrid rings at 3oz and some change. And the Leupold VX5 3-15x44 at 19oz.

My rifle totals out to 8.8# with the suppressor (Silencerco Scythe Ti)

I had it down lighter but I found I needed the extra magnification and turrets of the VX5 for the type of hunting I was doing. It’s been a sweet setup with some long kills under its belt and has traveled tons of miles on my back.

Absolutely would buy the Hawkins rings again, they are a bit annoying to set up perfect with the bubble level on the top of the rings. But once you’ve got it all set up it’s a feature that I really like.

Hope this helps.

Porkan is very deserving of puerile jabs. One need not meet him, as his reputation precedes him.

I just bought a 25# bag of white rice from costco. My wife is still making her way through it, after my first trial run ended with terrible impactions. Of course, I threw out the sample from my trial run, I didn't put it back in the bag!

Again Orken maybe an asshole of the first order, and deserving of your sophomoric jabs, but the fact remains you used the wrong rice. Nishiki Rice is a larger grain rice and won't get stuck in your flash holes or cause impactions.
