    Lets all have a pity party for Tom Cruise

    Scientology, founded by LRon Hubbard, is about giving everything you financially own to the church and working your way up. When you are head dog, which Tom is close to, you draw the benefits of all of the people giving. It's rather like a py ramid scheme. That said, I am a HUGE believer...

    why is shooting so expensive ????

    LOL Been there, done that, no thanks! To the OP, I know, just sold a rifle I had $5000 invested in, for half that, *if* that....she was always thirsty for more high dollar loads too! This one set me back $2800, I did a test flight on it last weekend. https://vimeo.com/77559898

    Islamic Hackers? Arctic Light, Tucker, anyone?

    LOL, I've made a few bucks off that one! Simple solution, turn off the PC, unplug the network, boot up and log in. If you do not unplug the network it will come back as soon as you log in. It's a legitimate JAVA app. Not legitimate in the sense of honor etc but it's not a trojan. Once...

    How the Hide has changed

    I respect the military snipers. And I respect the LE snipers that train like our local PD's do. And they train UNDER 100 yards, which can be some of the most difficult shots to take. Not to mention hostage situations, shooting through glass, cars.... Those that train and take their job...

    How the Hide has changed

    Fieldcraft has nothing to do with shooting, and I know the 8541's will disagree. tit for tat, a sniper is a shooter of people from a concealed location. That's the definition by the dictionary, LE has a different definition, the media has a different definition. It's all relative. Why anyone...

    Accurate 1903A3

    Fulton Armory - *used* to, I know their parts were quality but not sure on the service anymore. I've bought a few parts, pricey, but decent stuff!

    How the Hide has changed

    Far as I'm concerned, if you served in combat, shot from a concealed location with the intent to remove a human from earth, you are a sniper. Maybe you are not a Scout/Sniper but the definition is exactly that. WW2 had snipers that did just that, but no title to go. If the enemy is pinned down...

    Feedback Good Guy List

    Add nad1967 to that list, he just drove up from Tacoma and bought my baby.........after all these years I sold her. I took good care of him, tons of ammo and accessories, threw in the Leica. It went for a good cause on both accounts as both of us had to deal with sick daughters. Pleasure to...

    Well said Frank, well said. I was a commo guy, I was one hell of a gung ho commo guy that provided the encryption codes and authentication codes to call Arty, to call for lunch, to call for medivac. That was my job. That I carried a rifle was also my job. Yoda Quote: "Ohhh. Great...

    Marine Barracks Oct. 23 1983

    I remember watching Ronald Reagans face when this happened. He was truly shocked. We also lost 200 Army soldiers (was it 83?) in a plane crash. I forget the year but it seemed like it was around that time.

    How the Hide has changed

    To be fair, I recall a lot of USMC snipers (and USArmy) stating that civilians were NOT snipers. Technically they are correct, and since the public is a bunch of woosies these days and can't handle facts well, precision rifle came about, especially since there are no civilian snipers they don't...
