Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

Leftover (uncooked) steak sliced thin and marinated in a ginger/sesame oil/spicy soy-based asian sauce, then skewered and thrown on the grill, and served over ramen noodles with some sesame seeds and green onions from our herb garden. Cucumbers are basically the same that Ikea serves…a couple different vinegars (rice wine and white wine I believe), some salt and sugar, and dill.

Awesome comfort food.

Night Vision N-Vision Clip On Thermal ?

So the legit collimated clip on part is what is most important to me along with the ability to take high magnification.

If it does that, it'll beat anything Iray puts out. The biggest issue with all the iray and others is the lack of ability to truly collimate them (digital adjustments are too much vs 1/10th mil ect) and them actually being able to take 18x magnification without looking at minecraft creatures.

If they can solve that, or give me a cooled unit for way under 60k, then I'd say it'll be worth it.

At 13k for no on board LRF and ballistics, I'll pick up a ELR.
The one pictured has a LRF and i had rumor there is a 35mm version that doesn’t have LRF. But for sure i want it to.

MRAD vs Custom Build

Your best bet is make a list of want and needs for the rifle to fill. It'll help your decision
here's some pro's and cons

Which caliber is the same.......Someone here is always trying to recruit people to their cult, shoot the caliber you want
A lot of shooters here jump on the latest fads. Pic a caliber the components are easily accessible for and master reloading and shooting it (i.e. calling wind for it and memorizing data)

Pros

AI or MRAD
  1. have fan boys so it's very easy to sell.
  2. Factory wise, very accurate, good base barrel selections out the box
  3. . Both are great for factory guns, IMO MRAD has nicer magazines
  4. Aftermarket barrels available and ease of swap
Custom
  1. Barrel custom cut from length, chamber. & twist
  2. Nicer trigger selection
  3. Pic your bottom metal or magazine from AW, AICS, or AR types
  4. Chassis or stock fit specifically to your area of discipline
---------------------------
Cons
AI or MRAD
  1. depending on who you ask, triggers are hit or miss for likes (Won't be as nice a s a TT, Huber, Or Bix
  2. MRAD mags are harder to come buy sometimes
  3. Good "tactical rifles" but may not fit the discipline you are wanting
  4. Aftermarket barrels may be needed for specialty caliber i.e. 6GT etc
  5. important to some (go out of style)
Custom
  1. Wait for some pieces i.e. stock, barrel, triggers out of stock
  2. resale may be harder do to personalization (one persons 10 is another's 1)
  3. aftermarket barrels and barrel swap may be harder without vises
  4. if you get an obscure action (spare parts may be hard to replace or find)

6mm Dasher

I am getting back into loading for the dasher after 10 years out of the dasher game.

Anyone have some pointers on where they are sourcing 105 hybrids from for cheapest today?

Same for where you are getting Lapua / Alpha brass, and CCI 450 primers cheapest these days?

I am also looking to upgrade my scale and my powder throwing. Was using an RCBS charge master for years and years. Aside from the AutoTrickler + A&D FX-120i combo, anything folks recommend as a definitive step up?

New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me

A shot that still stands out in my mind, out shooting California Ground Squirrel with my brother. He was using a Colt Woodsman and I was packing a High Standard HD Military. A squirrel was running away from us and I took the shot. The bullet hit just underneath it and it bounced in the air with it’s legs going a mile a minute. Still the funniest “Miss” that I’ve ever had.

DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

How do we amp up interest in furthering the DDG Test Fixture into the next phase and into production?

Consider this a call to “action” (pun intended) as this peaked my interest and won’t let it die on the drawing board (figuratively and literally speaking).
It won't die; I'll be launching it later this year.
