Where do you get this insanity from? There are lots of blond and blue eyes slavs fighting the putinists. I've met them. There are also muslims on both sides. In ten minutes you'll do a complete 180 and accuse the ukrainians of being anti jew nazis, even though the president is jewish. The war...

There is no need for programming to happen when you get to see the difference between Russia and the rest of Europe with your own eyes. If I lived an ocean away from these events then perhaps I too would hesitate to accept reality because my only connection to whats going on would be CNN or...

Where do you get this crap? Complete nonsense.

I can't disagree with that. And if Russia at best is a nation of Clintons, it cannot be given a free pass that to wage this kind of burn-pillage-rape war of conquest against its neighbours because of its christian virtues. The whole meme about Russia being a fortress of family values is a...

No, my skin in the game is that I put my kids to sleep every night in beds that are within range.

The current president of Russia was a KGB officer during USSR and the core of his ruling elite stems from the soviet security appratus. They went from being an administration within the USSR to ruling the largest post-soviet state. I'd argue that the christianess of Russia is nominal and fake...

Again, if you want to prioritize resources, I respect that. But there is absolutely no moral equivalence between Russia and Ukraine. They're not "both bad". It's not close to being close. Very clearly, Russia is wrong. The worst that can be said about the West in this conflict is that European...

If you think Russia is some kind of haven for christian or "white" culture you're delusional and ignorant. Russia used to be a multi-ethnic empire, then it became an explicitly antireligious, anti-ethnic empire in the form of the Soviet Union. What Putin has done to the church is unforgivable by...

What about a comparison to the 28 Nosler? All of my favorite American podcasts were praising the 28 Nosler for a while. Will the 7 PRC and the 28 Nosler be equally popular in five years?

Reading up on this, it seems as if I might be perceiving the 7 PRC as less popular than it is, because it has not yet been approved be the European CIP, which has kept European manufacturers from adopting it. (I'm of course writing from Europe.)

It's been some time since the 7 PRC was released, and I get that although a lot of guys who are into getting the newest thing have tried it, I've never seen one in the wild. I don't see very many factory options for it, and many handloading component manufacturers haven't published data for it...

I've found a LGS (note: in Europe) that has a few used Weatherby Mk V rifles in stock. They go for about 450-500 usd. I'm not keen on the weird calibers, the light barrel profiles or the scratched, glossy, crooked stocks, but the receivers should be good to go for a custom build, right? I've...

Could be that the z6 is older, I don't know. I'd also guess that the LT numbers are marketed much like some bullet manufacturers handle BC. Zoom ratios also make your scope heavier. I think they're overrated for some applications, especially LPVO's, that are supposed to go on lighter, more...

I have to imagine the qc issues will be worked out by ruger. The scary bore scope pics seem like evidence they're trying to churn these out at a very high rate. The design is probably a lot better than the worst examples of its execution.

For reference, the B&T with an 18" barrel is $6700. The Haenel is only $3800 but it's really quite heavy, as is the HK417. A surprising candidate is the Tavor 7. It's durable, compact and weighs about 1,5lbs less than the Haenel, and it's noticably less expensive.
