    Northam continues to poke the bear. Taxpayers to fund enlarged prison costs stemming from gun ban enforcement.

    Start getting plenty of 2A friends. Then when one gets out in jail just March on the jail/prison and free all the convicts. Fuck the whole system up at once... If they have no prisons.... They have no power ?

    Any reticle for any spotting scope

    I swapped to a fixed magnification eye piece on the spotting scope ( the variable with mine wasn't good). The fixed 30x isn't terrible though. Currently, I just zoom ( if necessary) with the phone. Then adjust the reticle accordingly. The system works if you want something to play around with...

    HEADS UP: Please leave your long guns at home for Lobby Day VA on 1/20/20: VCDL Bulletin.

    200 fuck that. 20,000. Any why would they mince words when they now are in charge of government? Fuck it write your own law. And slam the gavel. My point is this. If there's this many armed peoole there. They can do whatever they want, if they act in unison... That's what 2A is about. Giving...

    Rifle Scopes Is the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 EBR-1 PST-416F1-M decent for a 200-300 yd AR? Edit: Mount?

    This is probably the dumbest post i've read yet. I have a 4-16 and 6-24 FFP. And you know what.... I've never had an issue hunting with them under 300 yards... Low light or midday. The 24x glass goes to shit anything over probably 15x... But you dont need that much mag for 300 yards. AND EVEN...

    Any reticle for any spotting scope

    The other day I was thinking of a way to get a reticle spotting scope. Then it hit me, why not use a camera overlay. Maybe this has been done before maybe not. But here is how I figured a way to make get any reticle to use on any spotting scope. This isn't a Simple method, nor is it idiot...

    Rifle Scopes Is the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 EBR-1 PST-416F1-M decent for a 200-300 yd AR? Edit: Mount?

    At 2-300 you can get away with a #4reticle and no turrets, or even a red dot. Heck open sights, but the 4-16 will be a good scope to get your feet wet into or shooting and the systems involved.

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    CCI small rifle. It's old stock so I'm going to get rid of it and move to New ones. I'm open to recommendations.

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    Wife is getting her wisdom teeth pulled. I was going to go component shopping while she's out later... What's the consensus on best powder/primer combo for 77gn that meters easily(consistently!)

    Rifle Scopes Is the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 EBR-1 PST-416F1-M decent for a 200-300 yd AR? Edit: Mount?

    I have a pst 6-24. It has had Weaver tactical rings on it forever and gets swapped between multiple rifles 300win, 270,AR etc. No issues with that so far. any decent mount should suffice.

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    My load development process is ice type over my Chrono. I load 5 of each charge weight and then shoot one of each weight(24 wait, 24.2 wait, 24.4 wait, 24 wait, etc) waiting 2 minutes between. Temp was 35f with 5 mph wind. Rifle and bullets sat in the weather 30 minutes before shooting. I had...

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    Scale is a Denver Instruments XE-300. I run a 5-0-5 beam scale concurrent with this and they both agree. The xe-300 has proven itself over multiple calibers so I hesitate to think that is the issue. while trying to diagnose ES issues I did load my oal longer to get it over mag length and closer...

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    I chose my node by fps dispersion. So from 24-24.9 the fps rose steadily from high 2600-2700. From 24.9-25.3-ish the fps settled around 2800-2850 fps. 25.4 jumped up around 2900 fps 25.6 was around 3k fps.

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    I picked up 200 77gn nosler CC and have not loaded for it yet. I figure if I'm going to load those I should get good components to go with it.

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    Worked up .2 grain increments from 24gn to 25.6 gn. Found about 24.9 -25.4 node then worked .1 gn increments between them and found best around 25.2 2 shots within 10es, 3rd shot 16 es, 4th shot 100es, 5th shot delayed powder ignition 250 fps slower. I loaded up more at 25.2 and found I can get...

    223 AR loads.. New to me

    I found some old reloading stuff my father had so I decided to load up for my new 223 AR match barrel. The powder was h335 with cci small rifle primers.. I am meticulous in my reloading but this setup wouldn't give my consistent MV results. In a 5 shot group I would have 3or4 shots within 30es...

    Load Development with a Cheap Chronograph

    I have the same Chrono and I get first round hits at my 8" 500 yard Target using my Chrono speed. Use it and enjoy it. If you find your missing at 500 true your MV in your calculator.. your Chrono will get you close. Shoot and learn shoot and learn. That's the best part.

    Maggie’s Do the German's have a sense of Humor?

    Depends on how much they trust you. When I was statined in Germany I bowled on a offbase league with some herms. They loved to drink and joked as much as I do... I'm sure I'll never see them again, but they were good people...ahh memories

    Vortex Razor HD 27-60x85 vs Leupold SX-1 Ventana 20-60x80

    I have the Leupold kenai sx-2 and I feel my pst 6-24 is equivelant or better. The only decent thing about the sx2 is the fixed eyepiece. That part is nice. But resolution past 600 yards is lacking and the focus wheel sucks. I'm curious how much better a razor is as well.

    Va Gun Confiscation Looming!

    Are you all a bunch of pacifists? Peace is soo boring. PEACE is the tool used by people (DEMS currently) to control people. I'm losing hope in humanity to fix this.
