    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    It's actually amazing how much faith we put in shipping companies. Just personally, I have all sort of shipping horror stories. I had a Manners TCS delivered to the completely wrong address by FedEX. They took a picture of the package on the doorstep, it wasn't my doorstep. It wasn't even...

    DNI Tulsi Gabbard releases report on Treasonous Conspiracy against Trump

    This has the makings of yet another...giant nothing burger. Odds are Barry cooked this whole deal up. Odds are also good Orange Man and Epstein knew each other. Yet another clusterfuck of Puppets and Puppeteers going through a typical weekly news cycle. I feel like our whole governmental...

    Suppressors Abel Theorem Brake

    Anxious to see some of the first hand experiences. I have both suppressors on order, I know that the TBAC is pretty dang quiet, even with the brake on.

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    It's actually a little of both, I seem to have mitigated it a little by really fine tuning the catch on the magazine. It feeds just fine if I am have it on a tripod and carefully cycle the bolt, but it seems to be finicky if my magazine is pressed up against anything or has pressure on it. It...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Brand new RimX owner here... I have mine sitting in an MDT XRS chassis. The only issue I seem to have is that I can't seem to adjust the magazine to get rid of the "slop" and keeping it tight in the mag well. Any advice? I was thinking of just trying to put some tape or something inside the...

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    My first "fancy" rimfire. I primarily use it to shoot gophers. I see I am going to have to do some reading on how to get this thing to feed flawlessly. I didn't even notice the magazines had an adjustment on them and I took it out and promptly wedged a shell in there pretty good. It shoots...

    Which Heavy Duty Truck?

    I put on about 50k a year for work, and have had at least 9-10 half ton trucks over the years. A couple of GMC's then all F150s. Decided to switch it up this year and picked up an F250. So far I am really impressed, it doesn't handle or drive like a "big truck" at all. Has a smooth ride...

    Does Mile high have the best customer service?

    They have always treated me right for sure. I don't mind paying more if you get good customer service alongside it. I have always been "you get what you pay for" type dude and every time I regrettably went the cheap route (optics planet) it was always met with some angst on the CS or shipping...

    Hog hunting rifle choice

    Same exact thing up here with the lion houndsman. They are a unique, competitive, bunch. As a result, there are a lot of them who resort to some shady shit to get on a cat. As to the original post...I am just a hog tourist, but have killed more than 100 and less than 500. Shooting them...

    Wtf is this lone survivor or lone runner stuff about?

    My brother is career military, been in two branches of service. He is like this. He has been deployed overseas many times, in some real shit parts of the earth. I don't know if I have every heard him talk about a single mission or really anything he did when he was over there. Only very...

    Hunting & Fishing Taylor Knockout Factor

    This is true. I am not up to 500, but do have a pretty good sample size. What is weird about bullets and bullet performance is that just when you think you are developing a baseline you get an outlier or two that totally messes with your mind. Which of course leads you to trying new stuff...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Went down south for my annual ham slam, much later than we normally go..it was hot! We had an average haul, but had one night where we got into a bachelor (sounder, herd?) and killed some pretty big boars. Got 7/8 boars recovered and it was a hell of a next day dragging them out of the field...

    We the Sheeple

    It's bad...Even where I live (in a deep red state) the level of bureaucracy at the State and Local levels is absolutely astounding. I saw first hand how alot of the covid money was spent and was absolutely aghast at the waste. It was unbelievable.

    Hardest part of having a dog

    I have always been amazed at how pets (especially dogs) have a way of finding the soft spots in most folks. Ironically, nothing seems to bring out the humanity in people more than a pet. My dog is 16, and amazingly is still pretty dang peppy. He has definitely slowed down, but still has a...

    Night Vision New Team Member @ Strictly Offensive Kit!

    These guys are good dudes. I bought a thermal drone from them and they certainly walk the walk.
