    30-06 still relevant?

    A 30-06 is basically an upsized 6.5 Creed. I get 2800fps out of a 215gr Berger hybrid with RL26, 27” Rock Creek with PTG NM chamber, and the barrel isn’t even broken in, should speed up a bit still. That’s almost spot on with top-end 147gr 6.5 Creed loads if I’m not crazy. Except with a 46%...

    WTS NIB Vortex Diamondback 10x42 binos

    First pair of these didn’t survive a tumble off a mountain, Vortex replaced them no questions asked. Model number is D241, set is still new in the box and wrap. $170 shipped USPS priority, no PP, PO money order or Zelle.

    The strongest evidence for this being legit independent of the posted stuff (in my opinion) is all the people across multiple forums saying “yeah, I thought something was off there.”

    I was on the old ‘hide, I have been around a while as well. I stick to the tech forums, first time in here actually. I don’t know you, and if I misjudged you I apologize. The paranoia is real. As to all this stuff coming out, OpenSecrets, etc. this is my theory: it’s all related to the...

    You sound... concerned. Vortex stated “concerns” because they are hoping this will all blow over, and they just want to pacify the “mob”. If you are so concerned, prove it wrong. EDIT: prove is a strong term. How about opposing sources?

    Timely? How so? Because of Benchmade? Maybe this disease has been there all along, and we are just waking up. The fact is, Fudds are real. They infest the shooting sports, and their elitism and progressive ideals show up in their words, actions, and political donations. They sneer at the guy...

    Progressives are insidious in their tactics. If they (the companies) were unaware of what was going on, they can (and should) easily correct it. Backcountry Hunters and Angers based in Missoula, Montana is apparently a virulently anti-2nd Amendment group backed by numerous companies in the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What size pistol for home defense

    My personal opinion is that the size doesn’t matter too much. Full-size, compact, it’s irrelevant in my eyes. I do prefer compacts in general. Biggest thing is a rail for a good light, night sights, and proper ammo. This is the 9mm FBI-approved duty load list posted a few years ago on the...

    Rifle Scopes What constitues a tier one scope vs tier two and etc?

    I am not a fan of posters who fuckoff in tech sections. I’d say T1 is Hensoldt Tangent Theta Schmidt and Bender Kahles Steiner Nightforce Obviously there are differences between them, and not all models will qualify. I don’t think there is a metric, but I’d consider T1 to be a scope meant to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 43 or sig 365

    This is the result of a Browning tilt-barrel action unlocking too early. This is a TIMING PROBLEM. Just because X-thousand rounds worked for you doesn’t mean it isn’t a design flaw. Just because Sig said “fuck it, make the firing pin a bit thicker” doesn’t mean it’s a well engineered pistol...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 43 or sig 365

    I don’t think the average gun owner realizes how bad the firing pin swipes are. It’s an indicator of poor timing in a Browning tilt-barrel system. I’ve shot M9s, P229s, P226s, 1911s, G19/G22/G43 and I’ve never seen it. Firing pins are NOT designed for those kind of shearing/lateral forces, the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 43 or sig 365

    The problems are a small fraction of the Sigs out there, of course. There is a pattern of 1) cheap shitty parts, 2) Sig not proactively fixing things they knew were issues (anyone remember the P320 stupidity?) 3) releasing products without good testing and with poor quality control. The P365...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 43 or sig 365

    I have had a few P-series Sigs, still do, I shoot great with them. But I’ve seen what they let out the door with a Legion P229, fantastic trigger, shot beautifully, but cosmetic shit that absolutely should not have gone out the door. Combine that with MIM going into all their pistols now from a...

    Fuck Sig. Do some reading on the issues with the 365. Check out the Indian MIM parts. Sig Legions with garbage fit and finish, far inferior to to the old W. German models. Great trigger but a crap finish, machining marks... fuck. Cohen is a piece of shit who is running a fine company into...

    1903a3 200grn eld-x 30-06 loads

    H4350 should do fine. Only issue I can see will be what OAL will fit in your mag, and how long the throat is. You may get ~2700. Once thing to remember is the 30-06 SAMMI spec is like 60k psi, while everything made off the case is 65k. You’ve got a good safety margin build it already, so if you...

    1903a3 200grn eld-x 30-06 loads

    That’s pretty sweet. I’ve been thinking for awhile about a 1903 with a 2.5x10x24 NF, white oak barrel, bedded, and threaded for a can. I’d give the 208 ELDM a try under RL-26. Max is around 62gr, (in my gun @3.460 if I remember right) drop tube might come in handy depending what OAL you can...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig Sauer P226 Legion 9mm

    I think so. Get the can and see what you think, may depend on what you are doing with it mostly.
