RRS Vs Fatboy Vs Two Vets Tripods

I am looking to get a tripod for hunting and long-range shooting. All three companies are within my budget, but I would obviously rather spend $750 vs $1500 if I can still get a really good tripod. I have only looked into RRS tripods but have heard good things about the other two companies. When hunting I won't be walking more than a few hundred yards and I am looking to get a very stable tripod, so a tripod that is a little on the heavier side won't bug me. I have been looking at the series 3 models from RRS for stability, not weight, since I down have any magnum rifles. I am 6'4" so if I went to RRS I would get the TFCT-34L. Any insights on these three companies and which models to get from them would be appreciated.

Common manual of arms in carry pistol (safety/mag release/etc)

So, this post comes about due to the new HK CC9. This appears to be the first pistol HK has released WITHOUT the paddle mag release (note they do have an almost equivalent in Europe with paddles that should come out over there for MIL/LE).. I for one, love the paddle release as I've trained with an HK for 20 year...it's instinctive for me. Yes, I have a button somewhere in the safe; but not full-sized, and not my "go-to."

Seems to be a lot of debate on another forum, almost critical of folks not wanting to let go of the paddles and adopt the button. My thought on this is that having a common platform be it micro/compact/full sized is an advantage. When the shit starts happening, do these people with paddles one day and buttons the next (seems to be a fanboy thing to carry different daily) remember that platform's manual of arms for that day....specifically if shit hits the fan? Perhaps I'm just stupid and have Joe Biden's memory; but seems commonality in this area would be prudent, unless of course you don't plan on reloading under stress.

I almost equate this with guns that have a safety (USP/1911/Beretta) vs ones that do not (Glock, VP9). If somebody has trained years and years without a safety and then gets into guns with a safety as a carry weapon and don't train really well, are they going to, in the heat of the moment, flick that safety off or is adrenalin going to kick in and they fall back to the scenario they've had the most training?

Definitely interested in The Hide's take on this.

Thanks in advance.

Did Lapua just discontinue 6.5 CM Small Primer Brass?

Hey boys,

Just had something weird happen today. I just bought my first 6.5CM, and I ordered 200 pieces of Lapua small primer brass from EuroOptics yesterday to start reloading, and I got an email from Euro today stating that this brass has been discontinued…..

My brass is on the way, but I called Euro and they don’t have any idea why Lapua discontinued it….

I hate that I spent 233 dollars on brass that’s obsolete….anyone here have any leads on what’s going on with Lapua?

Thanks!

An Election what if? (and a prediction, a bad one)

In a nutshell, what if they really went with a primary process. It would have likely been Joe and RFK Jr. Even if you toss in cackles McKneepads I have a feeling the majority would have gone with RFK.

I also have a feeling that we would be having different discussions today if it had been an RFK vs. Trump race.

Not sure if he would win a fair and square election, RFK that is, and I highly doubt the "machine" would have gone 2020 for him. But he is much more popular then Harris, that is not saying much, dog shit stuck to the bottom of your shoe is more popular.

I have always said that the "swamp" is evil, not stupid, does not matter if it is blue or red. That said I highly doubt that many of the high ups in both parties had any doubt that RFK would have won a general.

So why did they not run him, pretty simple he is not on their reservation. They could not control him, and really that is what they want.

So we circle around to they did not put their thumb on the scale on the Harris side, could be she is so distrusted no one would buy it, but it really does not matter the reason, they KNEW WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE, TRUMP WINS.

So what is the game now, I doubt that other attempts on his life are off the table. They have a plan rest assured they have a next move, they play the long game remember. Something will come up you can bet on it.

But.....

Is this a turning point, boy it would really be nice, the start of the decline of the UN/WEF/WHO this is not just a US thing, but a world wide thing. People are not happy.

What say the asylum?

New guy from Nova Scotia!

Hey there!

I just got into long range shooting this year, having only shot to 100 yards prior to 2024. Started reloading a couple months ago as well!

I shot my first PRS match over the summer in Gagetown and had a ton of fun, even though it took me a couple weeks to process all of the information I was presented with.

Current rifles:

Savage axis 2 precision 6.5cm w/ vortex viper pst 2
Savage 110 tactical 308 w/ cabelas covenant 7.


Loving the sport so far and looking forward to being a part of this community - I've been lurking as a nonmember for a while and got a ton of info from the sidelines.



Cheers!
