For $109 million I fully expect it to be able to make a cell phone call

This article on the F35 popped up in my feed today. it just seems kinda underwhelming that the big news is the F35's ability to send an info package. Wait until they find out what we did with SINGARS back in the 90's.


"The US defense contractor Lockheed Martin said one of its F-35 stealth fighters sent classified data from Texas to a command center about 5,000 miles away in Denmark, calling this a milestone and a successful demonstration of how systems work together."

SOLD Sold

I bought these last week off another hide member, then once I got them I learned they don’t fit a premier gen 2. They fit Gen 1 premiers, and acc elite. Will sell for $110 apiece shipped, $210 for both, or trade for the smaller individual internal weights if anybody has any laying around.

Accessories Patagonia AOR2 PCU level 5 & 6 rain gear

I have a set of new military PCU rain gear made by Patagonia. These are AOR2 camo which is awesome for hunting. I have not used this set, these are totally unused.

The jacket is a PCU Level 6 hardshell goretex and has a stowable hood, double primary zipper for waterproofing, pit zips, all the goodies.

The pants are PCU Level 5 softshells and have side zips, suspenders, all that good stuff.

These are both Medium-Long. I am 6'1", 180lbs. I normally wear a Large shirt and 34-34 pants and this gear is the right size for me.


$250 shipped for the set.

TheHide.TV Everyday Sniper Podcast: Wind Wednesday May Edition

I'm back, sorry I missed you guys, I was live on the Hide, but I didn't hit record on the podcast. My Bad.

But the weather is not cooperating with me, so range days have been light to say the least. I have managed to get the 6mm Arc spun up, Greg from Bugholes did a nice job spinning up my 2, 6mm ARC barrels. Then, added them to my Terminus Zeus, to top it off, I dropped everything into a Zermatt Matterhorn chassis.

Great conversations though today, Live on YouTube and the Hide, we had a nice crowd. But definitely check out TheHide.TV

Topics,
  • 6ARC Bolt Gun Numbers
  • 6mm ARC Gas Gun Numbers
  • Shooting with the 6ARC
  • Competitions,
  • Training,
But thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.

These are fun conversations with everyone.

What is the ideal SHTF optic?

I’ve posted opinions on the need for a legit MPVO battle optic. Most people would say a red dot or LPVO or both is best. I think a 1-10 LPVO might be ideal, but the optical limitations on a 10x erector limit performa CE and greatly increase prices. I think if the solution to a problem is $3500 then you haven’t really solved it.

Here’s my reasoning. I’m open to suggestion though, so you’re welcome to Change my mind.

I think when SHTF occurs, whether it is a local riot or something larger like power grid goes down, US Dollar devalues to worthlessness or a foreign invasion, the idea that you’ll have lots of run and gun 10-25 yard encounters is incorrect. This is what everyone trains for, but I think people are smarter than we give them credit for. The will to live is the most powerful human instinct. If you put millions of people in a life or death situation, they will not be running up your sidewalk in broad daylight to break down your door.

Let’s take the big cities, where gun ownership is oppressed by “the man”, gun knowledge and training is very low. Once SHTF, there will be an initial culling of the herd where the drug addicted and starving kill each other. After that wake up call, the remaining people, well over 50% I think, have hunkered down and pooled resources. They scavenged weapons and ammo from the dead. Hopefully these people will want to join the rest of society in the fight for survival, but if they don’t, they will likely be coming for our resources in the burbs and rural areas. Or they are foreign invaders intent on killing us. Either way, these combatants will be keeping a low profile. Even moving through suburbia, going house to house, you can expect it to be night time, they will hide behind cars, edge of buildings, privacy fences, any cover they can find. They will not be a mob walking down the middle of the street like portrayed in movies.

I read a report, sorry can’t remember where, that they examined foreign civil unrest situations of the past. Most of the shooting done inside cities and towns were at distances of 50 yards and greater. People don’t like to get shot! They aren’t very bold when they know everyone else has a gun. So most shooting was done from cover, pop up shoot, drop down. Targets are small. An exposed shoulder, a foot under a car, top of a head behind a wall etc. Hiding in empty houses and apartments and shooting out windows down the street. People would take pot shots from 200-300 yards away hoping to get lucky and then slink in and take the gun, food, car or whatever.

I think your handgun is there for the CQB stuff if needed, but what is really needed is the ability to return fire to attackers from 50-300 yds away, shooting from behind cover. They aren’t going to knock on your front door. When they shoot, your return fire target will be a few inches in size. Quick precision will be needed in a gun that is not 20# and a red dot will be insufficient at times. I think the ideal optic will be a 1-6x, 1-8x LPVO or a 2-10x, 2-12x MPVO. I personally would prefer the latter, but there are no great candidates right now with a reticle purpose built for this kind of shooting. Exceptions are maybe the chinese made Athlon and Swampfox 2-12x’s.

So again, I’ll ask, what is the ideal SHTF optic? Does this optic even exist yet? Or do you disagree completely with everything stated above and you believe red dot is the way to go or your 3-18x will do just fine?

P.S. - I don’t think I’m alone on this. Many well regarded rifle scope reviewers have mentioned a desire for improved choices in this area. C_DOES on YT, @Glassaholic here on the hide, Brass Facts as well as Barrel & Hatchet on YT. SupersetCA, now called Gunners Guild on Rumble has made similar statements. This purpose built MPVO, It’s not just to occupy the space in between all the other groups. In fact, I would argue, it is the most important category.

GRT 6GT help

I've tried every which way to get GRT to run on my Mac with various programs, but no joy. Hopefully I'm asking the right questions giving the right inputs.

I plan on living with this cartridge for a while. I'm invested in it, have several more barrels and am not interested in making a change at least through '26. That said, I've tried both N140 and 150 and they both shoot. I'm purely curious what the modeling says is the better choice if I wanted to land on one. Aiming for 90% + fill (alpha and gap) and a 100% (or close to it) burn rate, around 2800 + - . I THINK it's going to be 150, but I'd love to see what the data says if anyone is so inclined. Sorry if I'm missing key inputs, as I haven't got to play around with it, e.g. water volume; I realize these are two different brass brands, but if you're only willing to run one, go with Alpha. Just a general idea from the model vs. real world experience with these powders.

Alpha & GAP brass
26" barrel

Thank you!
