Apparently, they were aiming for Trump, but we don't know if he was hit. He appeared to be alright as he was being escorted off the stage.
He was pumping his fist. Estimated 8 shots fired at him. He had just gotten 1-2 minutes into his rally when the shots rang out. Immediately he was pulled to the ground by his Secret Service detail. Some are saying he was limping off the stage but that could be the result of his being pulled down by the Secret Service Detail.

More details later.

Cheap enough.
Sucks it’s 100 rounds per order, but 100 rounds is 100 rounds….. Go and make AJ proud.

Almost makes you wonder if it’s not eldest son being sold by some anti-2A group, considering the price and limited quantity per order, and country of origin. lol

AI Picture Thread

Let me start this by saying I've looked through a bunch of threads before posting this. My questions have not been directly answered. I appreciate your time and response.

I am a urban dwelling civilian and need some guidance on cold weather gear, especially boots.
For boots, I have been looking at Danner, Belville and Gaumont. All of them have good reviews All have a few haters. I am not really looking for brand/model recommendations, as much as general info however, if you know of *the* perfect solution for me please pipe up.
I will be deploying to Ukraine as a medic in late fall, through the winter. I need a good pair of winter boots. I expect to be cold wet and muddy. It is possible I will be spending time in trenches or other situations with cold standing water. I also expect the environment to get cold as shit.

I am inclined to get waterproof boots with Thinsulate. Waterproof offers me a tiny bit of biological substance isolation/protection.
Some boots have 400 grams of Thinsulate, some have 600. Are the extra 200 grams going to make a difference when it gets really cold or should I focus on multiple pairs of socks?

The Belvilles I am looking at are these https://www.bellevilleboot.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=182 They are insulated with 400G thinsulate and have some protection against bodily fluid contamination. They seem like they would be comfortable for walking.

There is another model that have 600 grams of Thinsulate https://www.bellevilleboot.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=176 There is a similar model, 600G with steel toes.

I need to be able to walk long distances in reasonable comfort. I am worried about the comfort of steel toed boots. Other than crush protection why would I want steel toes? is there be enough additional protection from things like toe-poppers to make the weight/discomfort worth it?

As active duty or veteran, would you feel safe deploying with soft toed boots?

For socks, is there any reason NOT to go Marino wool?

Are silk under socks worth it when it gets really cold?

I plan to get Marino wool base layers unless someone has a better suggestion

I could also use some advice on gloves. I haven't started to research that subject.

Any other cold weather gear hints would be appreciated.


Thanks for your time.

I have a like new in box Master Funnel Kit from Area 419. $80 shipped.

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest 'member' she had ever laid her hands on.
I said "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!!
At least I presume she was poor – she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend, yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So, I went back to the thrift shop and got all of her clothes back.

At the Senior Citizens Center they had a contest the other day. I lost by one point:
The question was: Where do women mostly have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer was Africa.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook.
I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

An extensively referenced argument that everything you’ve learned about major elements of World War 2 is wrong. Pearl Harbor, Post War Europe, Holocaust, Hitler, the Soviet Union, FDR, etc.

Pretty compelling.

The implications on the intervening 80 years since 1945 are huge.

Should I be making fun of this product or not. Not sure. But the advertising surly seems over the top. Price, I think $80.00. (Unless you purchase two or three or more than they give a discount.).

Somehow, it just seems a bit too true to be any good.

Stock is in great shape. Hardly ever used. Is not bedded. Comes with manners recoil lug.

Two flush cups on left side. Barrel channel is 1” at 10” from the recoil lug (front of stock)

Have a carbon six barrel in it now. Would likely fit ctr profile barrel but would need to be opened for a proof sendero or similar.

Weighs 27.5 ounces

I have a love of funny memes, videos and photos. Let’s let this thread focus on the funny without the nudity if that’s OK.

Form and Function of MOA and MIL​

TLDR

• MIL single-digit rounding is more comfortable and faster.
• Dialing MILs is simpler.
• Speed Dope is useful in many applications.
• MILS align to range much simpler than MOA
• WIND in MILs is far easier than in MOA.

Introduction​

When it comes to long-range precision shooting, the debate between MIL and MOA scopes can feel as old as time. Articles continue to pop up saying the exact same thing, never daring to step out of the well-worn track of last week’s article on the same subject. Most of these articles are filled with mathematical gobbledygook, and others don’t dare offend one camp or the other. The common responses often leave so much to be desired that I find myself wishing I had the time back from reading the latest article to spend doing something more useful – like watching YouTube.

So instead of waiting for the next version of the exact same thing, we are going to write what we have wanted to read but never found. Let’s break down the origins, modern applicability, and practical advantages of MIL and MOA with the precision we expect from our rifles, and not leave ourselves saying “the wind screwed us” again.

Wanting to do just a straight neck down to 6.5, no other altering of the case. Think 3100-3200 from a 22" barrel with 147's or 156's is doable. Light barrel (CF) and stock, 10 LBS all up except bipod. Ideally a hunting rifle, but will kill alot more steel than anything. Want to use standard length magnum ACIS mags. Would like to hear opinions on actions (want to stick with a 700 footprint), going to stay with steel and light weight stocks.

If someone has already done this I'd like to hear the pro's and con's.

Thanks

I have 8lbs of IMR Enduron 4451 that I've never used. If I recall correctly, it was supposed to be temperature stable similar to H4350, right?

Anyways, just wondering if anyone has used this powder and recall any pros/cons? I reload for 6.5CM and 25x47 Lapua if I could use IMR 4451 as a back up to my H4350?

Yes in Poland yes last November. But hey. https://www.businessinsider.com/eco-activist-mauled-bear-poland-2023-11

I am looking for a top tier piece of glass to complete my custom 6.4# .300 PRC built on a Defiance AnTi action. This rifle will primarily be used for backpack elk hunting in the mountains. I just purchased a ZCO 5-27 intending to put it on this rifle. While the scope is awesome, it is way too big and heavy. I'm going to return it and try something else. I am currently waffling between a NX8 4-32 or an S&B PMII 3-20. The NX8 is lighter, cheaper, and has better magnification range. Presumably, the S&B has better glass and has a smaller form factor. Is it worth an extra 4 ounces for the S&B? They likely both have bomb proof reliability. Which of those scopes would the Hide recommend and what other options should I be looking at? Is the March 4.5-28 a viable alternative? My ideal list of requirements is below.

Weight- <32 ounces
Ideal mag range- 5-25x
FFP
Target turrets with capped/ lockable windage
Illumination is required
Reticle that allows me to hold for wind

For those that are new to (or not acquainted with) the Pit, it can be a rough and tumble place. While not everything is allowed, it is a place for shooting the breeze, expressing opinions on non-shooting related topics, and a place to blow off steam. But lately there seems to be some misunderstandings about what is expected when diving into the Pit. A member wrote this, and I thought it was worth sharing...

"My views on the pit are like that of a rowdy bar...

1) You don't have to drink at the bar, you can always find a Starbucks.

2) If you're new to the bar...you're gonna get fucked with.

3) If you say stupid shit at the bar...you're gonna get fucked with

4) If you think you're better than everyone at the bar...you're gonna get fucked with.

5) If you can give and take a few punches...and laugh about it later...you've earned a seat at the bar.


Essentially, don't walk into the Titty Twister...order a banana daiquiri...then rage quit when people start busting your balls."

You should have a thick skin while venturing into the Pit, but there are rules...play nice.
