    Movie Theater 12 Years A Slave

    You do know it is based on a true story by a man that was enslaved in just this manner! You can find the original book at Amazon... As for slave holders being unemotional, unemotional, sadists, rapists, and morons-- well that does basically sum up the institutional short comings of owning...

    Movie Theater NOVA doing a special on Zeppelin Air Raids on London during WWI...

    I have a thing for WWI-- so when I saw that PBS' NOVA was doing a special on the Zeppelin Air Raids on London during WWI-- I thought I would spread the news. Airs 1/15/14

    Movie Theater Best Christmass movie?

    I like four films for Christmas best: 1) A Christmas Carol (starring George C. Scott) 2) A Christmas Tale A CHRISTMAS TALE Official Trailer - YouTube 3) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Merry Christmas, shitter was full - YouTube 4) Mon Oncle Antoine Mon oncle Antoine...

    Movie Theater 12 Years A Slave

    If you liked this film you should try out Hunger by Steve McQueen (he directed both of these films and it stars Michael Fassbinder at well as IRA Member in prison in the 1980's in England)... Great film. You can get it on Hulu Plus or at the local B&N from the Criterion Collection excellent...

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    I agree that the 175's at 1000+ yards will be difficult with the wind deflection-- but isn't that part of the fun? I've been thinking about having another upper built for this rifle in something like 6.5x47mm for better 1000 yard performance with the wind. However, right now I want to see what...

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    I will certainly start posting video of it shooting... I'm more of a video guy than a still picture guy... Over Christmas I'm going to test it out to @465- 500yards. So I'll put a video of that up so everyone can see it... I would like everyone to keep in mind-- I've been away from the sport...

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    It's good to hear that it is so nice out of the box. I know because I wanted Black Hills I love them in my .223 Howa 1500s Varmint rifle. However, I not found anyone selling them or the Fed GMM ammo at all. I'm putting the Harris Bi-pod that usually supports my Howa on the LAR-8 and I use a...

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    I took the 26inch tube over the 20 inch tube-- because I wanted to get as much velocity as I possibly could from the 308 win. My shooting will be only steel targets ranging from 500-1120 yards. I'm hoping the extra the 2 inches gives me the extra velocity I need to keep the 175 MK's or Berger...

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    Well, I did go with excellent optics: a Leupold Mark IV ER/T 8.5-25x 50mm FFP model scope. 20 MOA canted Leupold Mark 4 30mm one piece scope rings. I cannot even find Black Hills 175 MK's for sale or Fed GMM in the same weight. So I'm testing it out with Buffalo Bore 175 Sniper and Atomic Ammo...

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    I actually don't have any yet... It hasn't arrived yet. It is sort of a Christmas Present. I cannot open it until December 25th... Or Miss Claus will not be happy with me.

    Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A-4 with 26 inch barrel... Triggers and Lock Time

    Hello, I've just purchased a RRA LAR-8 26 inch barreled Varmint A-4. I've not even shot it yet, but I've heard from other users that I should swap the trigger out for a NM 2-Stage Trigger group from either: Geissle Triggers or the Timney Triggers model? I've never really used either trigger...
