    Fieldcraft Thermal Radar and drones?

    Actually you are right because we gained nothing because by destroying VC we got the NVA so stuck in the same place.

    Fieldcraft Thermal Radar and drones?

    How is it a stalemate when the Viet Song were destroyed as a fighting force and they never held ground, talking militarily and on the battlefield US forces soundly defeated any indigenous S Vietnam insurgency. From Tet on the war was with NVA regular infantry troops. The North could send their...

    The Trail . . .or just coincidence ?

    Thats a lot and if you are not a conspiracy nut job very tedious. The key points for me is the server was illegal and Hillary broke the law by keeping business emails secret. The whole Charity thing jumps in your face as "Pay to Play". I had not heard about Bill getting $500K from the Russians...

    Fieldcraft Thermal Radar and drones?

    I would disagree, the "Cave Dwelers" in Vietnam were wiped out during the Tet Offensive. After that the North had to send many 10's of thousands of regular Army troops to get slaughtered in the South before the American Public lost heart. Not having a viable political/government partner in the...

    Trying to decide on a new rifle

    I have several rifles that shoot Fusion ammo very well. My off the shelf MOD 70's shoot 270 and 243 ammo sub MOA. In fact it has been the better shooting factory ammo in those rifles. There is nothing sexy about Fusion, won't have the highest BC or hottest MV, what I find is you get very good...

    Trump caves

    With only 2 in AZ, one in Yuma & one at FT Huachuca i don't think they see very much foot traffic. I have hunted the S AZ border for 45 years and have seen smuggler trails, smugglers, cartel OP's and BORTAC teams. Last several years the foot traffic through our area has died down.

    Trump caves

    Yep he walked into this one on his own. Yea I want a wall in places on the border but also appreciate his Admin is enforcing the laws dems would not. Trump was not smart to say he would own the shutdown and then get himself maneuvered into it. Big mouth small brain not sure about his hands. Hey...

    Rifle Scopes Need help selecting LEO scope

    Shooting two Diamondback Tactical's on 22LR for several months now. One gun gets 3 matches a month running turrets up and down and the other just one NRL match a month. Yes not much recoil but so far dialing up and down working fine. The recital gets way thin at low power.

    Range Report American Gunner 6.5 creed

    I shoot the Am Gunner 6.5/140's out of my Bergara HMR Pro and Seekins Havak and it shoots 1/2 MOA. I shoot the Am Gunner 140 6.5 in matches at targets 400 or closer.

    Coatimundi, saw that exact color phase Friday in Camp Grant wash (N of Tucson AZ) driving in to our long weekend camping shoot event. My Dad grew up in S AZ and would see them growing up. I saw my first and for a long time only one in late 80's. November 2017 had a pair raiding our camp at night...

    Range Report Noob goes to the range with new rifle

    Thanks for taking the time to explain. I really wanted to understand how this could happen. I did some research on my own and though could not find a discussion of this issue I think I understand what you are describing.

    Range Report Noob goes to the range with new rifle

    So if I am torquing a new scope down and I have 8 screws on a pair of rings and set driver at 15 inch pounds you are saying the eighth screw is getting torqued more? In your example of .25 added each time then last screw gets 17 inch pounds?
