    Maggie’s The whole nine yards....

    An older version refers to the ball shaped flyweights on centrifugal governors used on steam powered machinery to control speed, “balls to the wall” or “balls out”referred to the machine operating at its highest speed, where the flyweights were completely extended, all the way “out” or “to the...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    we lost our sense of national unity when we lost our long time adversary and then we started to divide. The only time we can all work together is when we have an opponent to smash.

    Hunting & Fishing Bible verse for hunting rifle

    Isaiah 41:10 “fear not for I am with you, be not afraid” I like that for my most trusty rifle and the head of a good axe.

    It has a way of doing that in election years.

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    How often do we do this thread? Will this lead to a “SHTF” rifle thread, or shot placement vs. impact energy thread? If you want a short compact rifle with a 16-20” barrel do a 6.5 cm or the .308, can’t go wrong with either but the .308 has a slight edge In the short range stuff but it’s...

    Fieldcraft Clearing your line of fire?

    Are things that bad in finland? I figured any self respecting Finn would clear a lane by flying sideways through the air in a rally car with ice tires. It’s what Mika Hakkinen would want you to do.

    Range noise suppression

    Typical urbanite bullshit, move somewhere and force changes to happen to suit your wishes. I got in an argument with a liberal in-law about range noise a while back and told them it wouldn’t be an issue if suppressors weren’t an NFA item and pointed out they could get on board with legislation...

    .308Win.Ackley Improved

    all muppets are puppets but not all puppets are muppets. But I think mostly it’s like politicians; whose hand is up its ass determines if it’s a full on muppet or just a standard puppet.

    .308Win.Ackley Improved

    why would anyone go through all the trouble of fire forming a .308 case to still have case capacity with ~9 grains of water less than a .30-06? You can’t claim length of the rifle or DBM if it’s a 30” tube on a single shot savage? .308 brass is no more prevalent than .30-06, both come from lapua...

    What was the point again?

    I think you should try to become the first guy to hit at a mile with a 12 gauge foster slug from a smooth bore H&R single shot with a 33 knot crosswind. I don’t have the skill set required, I’d find that impressive.

    Why bolt???

    If all you care about is 1 MOA, don’t buy either, buy a used Ruger American or the standard used plastic 700 , sexiness is stupid, function matters and potential upgrades matter. Hell, these days most cheap hunting rifles will hold 1 MOA, But if you actually want to hit small targets at long...

    First community gaming event (feedback needed)

    What about that game the Israelis and Palestinians play where one side throws rocks and the other has a 10-22? What’s that called again?

    Next Project 1000yd Wimbledon Cup .300 H&H Bull Gun Ca. 1935

    This is really cool, I’ve always thought that the model 30 and the m1917 missed out on the attention they deserve.

    Fieldcraft Choosing a bug-out location

    I try to avoid thoughts of running to the mountains, I live in the foothills so I’m close enough if I wanted to but it doesn’t check out in my mind. without modern transport and agricultural supply, the mountains don’t have many resources to go around and their growing seasons are fairly short...

    Never Trumpers and Those Who Don't Like Trump

    Well I’m not seeing much of an opposition viewpoint so I’ll bite... For a little background, I’m traditionally a republican (probably considered a RINO by today’s standards) with libertarian leanings, I don’t care if gays get married, I don’t care if people have abortions, I don’t care if...

    Fieldcraft Bug Out Bag check

    It would be helpful if you could define what your goal is. You don’t really have to list specifics, just something like get from the city to my home, 60 miles through woods or 10 miles through suburban streets. A get home bag will likely be a lot smaller and lighter with less stuff in it than...
