    WATCH: Full body camera video w/audio of fatal police shooting of armed perp in Sacramento. Service AR-15 used.

    Hey from 50ft away out of a full length carbine barrel, it’s a perfectly fine round...to require a 2nd shot 😉

    Do I need a 300 Winchester Magnum

    7mm Mag is just so inefficient though. Barnes reloading materials are showing similar velocities (171grs at ~2,850 FPS out of 24” barrels) between .280AI and 7RM but with ~6 more grains of powder in the 7RM — more than a 10% increase. Just not worth the blast, recoil and barrel life when the...

    Wow. Cops have the hardest job in the world. They're criminally underpaid relative to their level of required responsibility.

    Do I need a 300 Winchester Magnum

    I got a 7mm Rem Mag as my belted magnum big boy pants cartridge for elk and long(er) range hunting. I should've got a .280AI instead and a .300 WinMag as my belted magnum. I say that as a 7mm-phile. Get a .300 Win Mag.

    Movie Theater Midsommar

    Midsommar kept teasing me with "oh man, I know what you're trying to get at and it's AL. MOST. GOOD" so yeah I'm totally into trying something else from the director.

    NEW XRS Chassis from MDT - Crossover Rifle Stock

    Ha -- I'm moving back west eventually or I'd be holding out for ODG. Me, I'm grabbing an FDE version now :D

    OH SHIT -- looks like the FDE just dropped! Time to polish off the ol' credit card...

    Movie Theater Midsommar

    Ooooh didn’t realize that was the same director; I’ve had Hereditary recommended several times. Might give that a go this week.

    2600 yards with a 7 saum.

    I went to school in Walla Walla...those look a little like the Blues or Wallowas...man I miss the west.

    Rifle Scopes Rimfire scope for a backpack gun?

    This. I just put one on an ultralight AR build and I’m very impressed with it so far. Just two trips out and haven’t gotten to test evening light gathering but dawn performance was great. 10x on tap for this weight range is wonderful.

    Rifle Scopes Red dot question

    My glasses do fix it, I just don’t always have them on me (esp at home) because my vision otherwise is OK. Near sighted -1/-1.25 but with glasses on red dots are fine within the useful ballistic range of 5.56 I’d hate to miss surviving the apocalypse because I didn’t have my glasses with me or...

    Rifle Scopes Red dot question

    I have bad astigmatism. Without some glass between my eyes and the dot — either my glasses or a magnifier, either will do — reflex red dots are blurry and holographic are a complete mess. Glasses or a magnifier clean them right up though. I have reflex red dots on a couple guns that are...

    Yay GOP

    NOT TRUE, and I actually have that from a first person source: my first boss out of college, Jim Warner, was in the Hanoi Hilton with McCain. He said they almost killed him upon capture, found out he was an admiral's kid and then tried to ply him with better treatment, then treated him worst...

    Did protests spread the rona?

    They definitely didn’t help. Watching the left try to square that circle of cognitive dissonance is about as predictable as it is pathetic. Doesn’t excuse the piss poor performance on this crisis by several governors. Both sides can be stupid and wrong, and guess what we have in this case:

    Yay GOP

    I won’t denigrate McCain’s service, but I do have a funny quip about his proclivity for risk taking in the cockpit: my dad’s a pilot and the joke between him and his friends was that since McCain had crashed 5 planes he was a “reverse ace” 😂

    Yay GOP

    OK, if "welfare" bugs you or leads to slippery slope logical stretches then just call it "free loading." Pick your term, doesn't change the situation. Agreed that other policies outside of the actual brackets (tax credits, etc), especially ones that go rate-negative, complicate the total...

    Yay GOP

    You forgot the last word there in my quote: brackets. The cap gains earnings aren't welfare, obviously; the lower rate they have to pay relative to others absolutely is. Maybe "welfare" isn't the right word -- sorry to trigger, ha -- but not paying the same share as working stiffs is at the very...

    Yay GOP

    .....why? Income on capital, income on labor, they're both income. If we're taxing income, why not tax at the same rate? I think it's insane that someone who makes $45k/yr is paying a combined marginal rate of 30% while someone who makes $430kyr pays half that rate...for not working. Given the...

    Mrgunsngear and other youtube idiots

    Well, not Tim for one. Why do I feel like I keep saying this? Yeah, you're right. He's just lying to all his patreon supporters, risking thousands of dollars of monthly recurring revenue from them and (for the few to whom it still matters) his word and reputation over a manufacturer's...
  20. S

    Yay GOP

    I can't hate on any tax policy towards poor people when I see the outright welfare the rich have in the form of the capital gains brackets. You pay as much % in fedral taxes (income and fica) starting at $9,900 as cap gains peeps do on every dollar over $440,000. That's a criminal failure of...
