    WTB Marlin 336 dark 30-30

    I put one on my back burner also. Almost impossible to find and the ones you do are going for stupid money. I'm hoping now that Ruger has acquired Marlin they will put these back into production and get this niche filled. I have a hankering to suppress a Marlin lever 30-30 and refuse to cut...

    WTB a helping hand from a mod

    OK. Based on the shit Spife just went thru I have joined the ever evolving digital age and did this two factor thingy. Took me a few to get it all set up. Hope it doesn't screw me over down the road trying to log in. Silver lining for the real Spife, if post count mattered anymore at least he...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Enjoyed the race Sunday morning. That was Max's race to lose. I really thought he would pull it off in the end. I was really impressed that Perez was able to come from back of the pack and fight thru the field to end up 5th. That electrical issue sure made it tougher for RBR as they need...

    Striations on brass after neck sizing - WHY?

    I had the same thing occur. This actually seems to be a common question in the reloading depot. Maybe we can get a sticky made about it. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/weird-marks-on-my-case-neck-any-ideas.7038034/ Polish up your die to remove the galled brass and it should...

    .223 sniper or not?

    I assume you have plans to paint the stainless barrel and action soon so it doesn't have a nice shiny reflection out in the field. Getting some jute and a ghillie will be beneficial. Good planning on getting your scope as low as possible. You will want your scope, rifle, and body as low as...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Is MB sandbagging? Yes. That is their MO and has been for a number of years. They come out at testing looking shaky and not all together and pour on the coals in the first race. Perhaps this year will be slightly different for the first race since testing was just two weeks ago at the same...

    Viper pst2 3-15 as a starter scope?

    It is a great starting scope. The 3-15 works well and I have made hits out to 1525 yds in local PRS comps with it. I want to step up to the alpha level glass scopes now. there is some truth in the adage of buy once, cry once, but as a starter scope you could do much worse. Especially since...

    Night Vision When did military start using IR?

    NVGs go back a ways. You question pertains to IR aiming with night vision. First time I saw IR coupled with small arms for aiming was 1998. PVS-14 and PAQ-4 although most of us drew the PVS-7s at the time. By 2001 we were standardized with PVS-14s, PAQ-4s and some PEQ-2's for crew served and...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I want to say you are wrong @brianf but I think you nailed it. I will still be excited because hey! its F1 and it beats NFL,NBA,MLB. I too would love to see refueling added back in.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I'm always excited for the new season. Like everyone else parroting what has been said for the last few years, "I am hoping it will be a competitive season" and that multiple drivers are standing on the podium. I am definitely looking forward to watching Norris and LeClerc continue to develop...

    Where is Greg Langelius?

    Glad you are checking in on Greg. I hope he is doing well and all are happy and healthy in his household. He is a wealth of information. I've been meaning to pick his brain on treating a M1 Garand stock. I seem to remember him posting about polishing and caring for some color guard M1s for...

    Oregon is just circling the drain

    Bah! As a native Oregonian I am so sick of seeing these stories. Oregon is the FLORIDA MAN of political decision making. Every time you see a stupid, idiotic, woke news story it is OR leading the pack. I moved to AZ for work and just can't see myself ever returning to OR in it's current...

    Vintage Sniper Rifle Transport *FINISHED* Now with 100% more PEW!

    @buffalowinter Congrats on finishing the build. It was a pleasure to see it from the beginning to end. I am glad you got it finished, and a heck of a quicker than I expected. Very impressive work and attention to detail.

    Hoplite Arms

    A day at the range getting hands on R&D has to beat sitting in an office answering emails, drinking stale coffee, and drawing circles on CAD CAM designs for improvements. Did you make Dthomas jog all the way down there to take the picture of the impacts cause he dicked up the labradar?

    Marlin?

    Ouch. I was hoping it would be this year. Those Marlin Dark series really caught my attention, but not many made it out into the wild before they shut down. For some godawful reason I have a desire to suppress a 30-30 lever gun and I refuse/ can't bring myself to cut/thread my old pre-safety...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Beautiful. I'd park my ass on that bench with a cup of coffee and a good cigar and enjoy the peace and quiet for a little bit. Lord knows every man needs some peace now and then.

    *sigh. blocked from my work computer. I can't view the podcast. Will have to give it a go when I get home. On a different note how the heck does Theis pronounce his name? For years I always saw his avatar name as "THESIS" and its stuck in my mind when I see his posts "Oh, Thesis is posting...
