    Need math wiz for simple(?) problem

    Looks like you found Heron's Formula which is correct. Same linear perimeter shapes do not have the same area. Consider: 5x5 square = 25 area 1x9 rectagle = 9 area 20 circumference circle = 31.83 area

    High Quality Kitchen Knives

    Re: Henckels, I didn't see anyone mention specifically, but their garbage line is "Henckels International." The good ones are branded "Zwilling." I saw someone mention 4-Star, and they also make the Classic-S. If I were to buy new, Shun or Global.

    Close up photos of my GAP Thunder Ranch

    For me, I've owned a Crusader, Gladius, Rock and a bunch of other GAPs. Medium Palma-ish contour is ideal balance of weight & target accuracy and preference of MCS-T over all other stocks, and Manners mold-in is my favorite finish. The cards were stacked for the spec exactly as is.

    Close up photos of my GAP Thunder Ranch

    Very nice--If you haven't shot it yet, you will love it even more after you do! I just took receipt of my Thunder Ranch (Templar v2, 308/6.5x47 switch) and tested it out to 850 yards on Friday morning. Perfect rifle.

    Terrapin.... will be..

    I called APO and placed an order for one thru Michelle. She asked if I post or email anyone, to go ahead and clarify today is a last-call order day for distributors/retailers to book to Vectronix. APO already placed a sizable last-call order which is inbound in 3-4 weeks, and that stock is...

    Deals on AI AE MkIIIs? Where are they?

    About 4-6 weeks ago, MHS probably had 20+ different options vs just 3 left. Looks like everyone picked off the 260, 20" barrels and fixed stock versions. You may have started looking for a new-old stock AE just a little late.

    **Update Post 40** Have a bad cheek weld, or mount scope on rail?? Which is worse.

    Heres my POF P308, Badger riser, Seekins 0.92" low with a Hensoldt 3-12. A2 stock just like yours with a Tac Ops pack get it lined up for great cheek weld. Not the best pic but enough to get the idea. As far as cosmetics, doesn't look bad at all to me. I've got each ring mounted 1 slot from...

    how tolerant should I be of neighbors dog ?

    Lots of awful answers here suggesting animal abuse, poisoning & torture. It's not only illegal, it's just wrong. You mentioned you have a daughter and cat. Lots of pet owners consider their pet like a child. If they are as bad as 50% of the people replying to your thread, well, flip a coin...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    Looks like they opened it up to take TRG mags if my eyes are seeing right

    308 All Purpose Lightweight / Sub MOA?

    I saw the title of the post and was already thinking Tikka T3 ... Scout if you can find one, cut back Varmint or a Tactical.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K312 vs Hensoldt 3-12

    I own one of each and like them both. Everybody has pretty much summed it up that the Hensoldt eyebox & image is noticably better, but not by a huge margin. Its like is a 98 vs 94 -- both would still be a very solid A. Same weight at 28 oz. The Henny is a bit more compact feeling overall...

    First Post! M40A3 revelation!

    There's way more weight coming from the barrel than long vs short action, so that M40A1 is pretty heavy itself imho. I know the exact feeling to moving toward lighter guns and find a perfect blend of accuracy & weight balance with medium Palma contour in 22" for 308 and 24" for 6.5mm

    Bipod recommendation

    Re: your query on BT vs Seekins rail, both are good. BT has a QD socket, Seekins has a horizontal sling stud built into the end. Seekins is a smidge lower profile BT variable length slot is longer so more easily transferable to a stock already with 2 studs Seekins mount holes are a bit deeper...

    Looking for a small backpack

    Not sure if still available, but my unit issued me a Camelbak HAWG Max Gear 13 years ago and it's still my favorite backpack today. Gotta look up the old military issue style one not the lame civilian market one. Smaller then general backpacks but surprisingly roomy. It has seen much use thru...

    2007-2013 Toyota Tacoma?? Looking for actual mileage one could expect.

    Had a 2006 PreRunner access cab, V6 4.0L. On stock rims and tires (265/70/16) I got up to 20mpg freeway. Swapped out for 265/75/16's and total average city/freeway was about 17.5 which was really about 18.3 given 5% circumference difference since I didn't reset the computer to new tire size...

    Rifle Scopes Which mount for my TRG22

    The best options listed: Spuhr if you want direct mount, or NEAR rail and Seekins rings if you want flexibility to move scopes around from other rifles. Mainly, figured I would chime in re: the OEM rail. What worked like a charm for me was to pull the barreled action from the stock, set a hot...

    Bottom metal question

    Bottom metal is specific to the action footprint. The Seekins is for R700 footprint actions. CDI, PTG or factory FN TBM are your options. CDI and PTG lets you use AICS mags, TBM uses FN factory mags.
