Stupid question

Is there some difference between these two besides one looks slightly longer and one has a little more material removed from the standard lugs of 1913 pic rail…



They’re both short action knight force scope bases for a Remington 700 pattern, looking to order over of these two for my CZ600 Range but asking myself why the heck ones is basically $60 and ones $130???? And can that little bit longer be useful or needed somehow?

Bullet and powder advice for 1:8 .223 for target/coyote shooting

Sorry in advance for asking something so basic but it would save me a lot of scouring the internet.

I am planning on purchasing a T3X Lite in .223 with a 22" 1:8 barrel for coyote hunting and target shooting. I have seen people get great accuracy out of T3X Lite contour barrels with a slow cadence of fire. Max mag length will be 2.44".

I am looking for a bullet and powder combination that is easy to load for (I don't want to chase the lands), is economical, and has decent terminal effects for predator control. I had initially planned to use 69gr SMKs but I am not seeing a lot of love for them online.

Bullets available to me in bulk in my price range include:

Sierre 69gr SMK
Sierra 77gr SMK
Sierra 77gr TMK
Hornady 75gr ELD-M
Hornady 73gr ELD-M

There are also lots of lighter bullets but I wasn't sure they would work as well in wind, in a 1:8, or in wind although I am far from an expert (obviously.) They include 52gr ELD-M, 55gr SMK, and 60gr TMK among others.

Powder available here is a bit limited with CFE 223 and Varget being what I think would work best. I plan to use Remington 7 1/2 primers.

Optics J Unertl externally adjustable scope

Title says it all, 10x J Unertl scope, 1 inch tube with later production black mounts, both lens caps. One small booger on a screw for the adjustable crosshair ring, does not affect function, still loosens and rotates as needed. I can get pics of the crosshairs if you want. Bought a few for a project and this one didn’t make the cut. I’m asking 800 shipped, but make me a reasonable offer. Might be interested in a trade, not sure what I’d want so just ask. PP F&F or you cover fees, USPS money order, or face to face if close enough. Thanks

Safariland ALS for PDP w/out light

Hide,

My dad recently purchased a Walther PDP, 5 inch, compact and was hoping to run a Safariland ALS without a light. It looks like Safariland doesn’t make an ALS for that model without a light. I reached out to RDR gear as I know they make some minor Safariland mods, but haven’t heard back.

My concern would be sloppiness or issues if the holster indexes off the light. He is running a red dot.

Would love any ideas.

Thanks!!

The Hits Keep Coming - Two More Clinton Suicides

Can we get a special counsel on this shit?

http://clashdaily.com/2017/07/clinton-suicides-can-add-two-names-list-suspicious-deaths/

Published on July 14, 2017
[h=1]Clinton ‘Suicides’: You Can Add Two More Names To That List Of Suspicious Deaths[/h]
The Clintons have raised eyebrows for how many people who might have ‘dirt’ on them happen to die untimely deaths.

Cynics just added two more names to that list.

It is possible that they are nothing more than what is claimed: two unfortunate souls who decided to end their lives.

On the other hand, what went with them to their graves will (naturally) fuel a certain amount of speculation, especially among those who think the Clintons capable of great evil.

To the point: Two men were recently found dead. It was called suicide in both instances. Both had (or claimed to have) information potentially damaging to the Clintons. And they have both carried any secrets they may have had to the grave.

The two men in question are Klaus Eberwein and Peter W. Smith.

The former was a Haitian official, scheduled to testify concerning Fraud and Corruption in the Haiti Earthquake relief.

The latter claimed knowledge about the missing Clinton emails, and who was ‘really’ responsible for the Russian hacking — NOT the Russian government.

Both have been found dead.

Klaus was found dead in a Miami hotel.
Klaus Eberwein, a former Haitian government official who was expected to expose the extent of Clinton Foundation corruption and malpractice next week, has been found dead in Miami. He was 50.

Eberwein was due to appear next Tuesday before the Haitian Senate Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission where he was widely expected to testify that the Clinton Foundation misappropriated Haiti earthquake donations from international donors.– Read More


If you’re new to the Clinton-Haiti controversy, this will get you up to speed.

According to Miami-Dade’s medical examiner records supervisor, the official cause of death is “gunshot to the head“. Eberwein’s death has been registered as “suicide.”

The Miami Herald also referenced both his death by gunshot in a Hotel and his scheduled testimony next week.

The second death also ruled ‘by suicide’ has provoked wild theories on BOTH sides of the political spectrum.

Peter W. Smith was from Chicago, 81 years old, and a Republican partisan.

He had a history of digging up dirt on political opponents, the Clintons included.

Originally his death was chalked up to old age, or natural causes, including a lead reporter for the case, stating on a podcast that he had no reason to suspect foul play, and that it was likely natural causes. (Hold that thought.)

He was part of an effort to expose the real culprits behind the hacking everyone is talking about, and implicated a company called Crowdstrike, and it’s Russian founder Dmitri Alperovitch.




(Is anyone else wondering why a Russian tech firm was handling US electronics security and is ‘crawling with’ former US Intelligence agents?)
Specifically, it was the first to publish evidence of the Russian government interfering in the U.S. election by hacking into and subsequently releasing emails for the Democratic National Committee.–TechCrunch
One of his tweets gives an idea of what he thought was really going on with Russia:
Russian ex-national guards U.S. nuclear codes for Obama https://t.co/j0vz8h1Cmx

— Peter W. Smith (@PTRSIH) January 16, 2017

[Smith Was a] Republican donor and operative from Chicago’s North Shore who said he had tried to obtain Hillary Clinton’s missing emails from Russian hackers killed himself in a Minnesota hotel room days after talking to The Wall Street Journal about his efforts, public records show.

In mid-May, in a room at a Rochester hotel used almost exclusively by Mayo Clinic patients and relatives, Peter W. Smith, 81, left a carefully prepared file of documents, including a statement police called a suicide note in which he said he was in ill health and a life insurance policy was expiring.

Days earlier, the financier from suburban Lake Forest gave an interview to the Journal about his quest, and it began publishing stories about his efforts in late June. The Journal also reported it had seen emails written by Smith showing his team considered retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, then a top adviser to Republican Donald Trump’s campaign, an ally. — Chicago Tribune
And then things really get weird.

Like the detail on his suicide note stating (in all caps) ‘NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER’.

Ok, did he not realize that even if it IS true, writing that still seems sketchy?

Or this:
Smith was found with a bag tied over his head, attached to a helium source. A funeral home employee said they saw a helium tank in his room. The employee told The Chicago Tribune that it was about the size of a propane tank.​
Even people on the Left who are assuming this a Russian conspiracy think this situation looks sketchy.

(And really, what ISN’T a Russian conspiracy these days? Spicer’s Russian Dressing quip looks more relevant every day.)

They point to tweets about people who knew him and didn’t think he was depressed or suicidal. Others point to emails he wrote just days before his death, still convinced of his cause.
Smith told the Journal he believed the missing emails might have been obtained by Russian hackers. He also said he thought the correspondence related to Clinton’s official duties. He told the Journal he worked independently and was not part of the Trump campaign. He also told the Journal he and his team found five groups of hackers — two of them Russian groups — that claimed to have Clinton’s missing emails.

Smith had a history of doing opposition research, the formal term for unflattering information that political operatives dig up about rival candidates.

For years, former Democratic President Bill Clinton was Smith’s target. The wealthy businessman had a hand in exposing the “Troopergate” allegations about Bill Clinton’s sex life. And he discussed financing a probe of a 1969 trip Bill Clinton took while in college to the Soviet Union, according to Salon magazine. –Heavy
Even the method of his death has a hint of mystery behind it: (emphasis added)
An employee with Rochester Cremation Services, the funeral home that responded to the hotel, said he helped remove Smith’s body from his room and recalled seeing a tank.

The employee, who spoke on condition he not be identified because of the sensitive nature of Smith’s death, described the tank as being similar in size to a propane tank on a gas grill. He did not recall seeing a bag that Smith would have placed over his head. He said the coroner and police were there and that he “didn’t do a lot of looking around.”

“When I got there and saw the tank, I thought, ‘I’ve seen this before,’ and was able to put two and two together,” the employee said. –Chicago Tribune
Again, innocent explanations are possible. But the number of unanswered questions is enough that it isn’t open-and-shut.

Both of these suspicious suicides happened when they were (at least theoretically) in a position to do some harm to the Clintons.

And if there is a common denominator in all the other mysterious deaths surrounding the Clintons, it was that: The potential to disclose information that would be damaging to the Clintons. In fact, Smith actually HAD, in the past, released harmful information against Bill (Troopergate). Opposition Research (muck-racking) was actually his job.

And now that they’re both dead, however plausible their reasons for suicide may have seemed, this puts a different light on it… at least for the Cynics.

Here is a list of all the mysterious deaths involved with the Clintons:

1 – James McDougal – Clinton’s convicted Whitewater partner died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr’s investigation.

At the time of his death Brown was being investigated, and spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors.

5 – C. Victor Raiser II and Montgomery Raiser, Major players in the Clinton fund raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992.

6 – Paul Tulley – Democratic National Committee Political Director found dead in a hotel room in Little Rock, September 1992… Described by Clinton as a “Dear friend and trusted advisor.”

7- Ed Willey – Clinton fund raiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the woods in VA of a gunshot wound to the head. Ruled a suicide. Ed Willey died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office in the White House. Ed Willey was involved in several Clinton fund raising events.

8 – Jerry Parks – Head of Clinton’s gubernatorial security team in Little Rock. Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock. Park’s son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton. He allegedly threatened to reveal this information. After he died the files were mysteriously removed from his house.

9 – James Bunch – Died from a gunshot suicide. It was reported that he had a “Black Book” of people which contained names of influential people who visited prostitutes in Texas and Arkansas.

10 – James Wilson – Was found dead in May 1993 from an apparent hanging suicide. He was reported to have ties to Whitewater.

11- Kathy Ferguson, ex-wife of Arkansas Trooper Danny Ferguson, was found dead in May 1994, in her living room with a gunshot to her head.

Kathy Ferguson was a possible corroborating witness for Paula Jones.
