    Rifle Scopes Long Range Scope that can transition to short range?

    yep, 6 second 1/4 mile times are Pro-mod territory With 2500HP+and 2600 lb. 1/4 mile record For electrics at the moment is like 7.2 seconds. I think the lotus evija is like 2000 HP AND 3700 lb curb weight (batteries are heavy) so it’s probably mid to low 8 second, and costs $2.1 M. that’s a lot...

    Rebarrel: Short and Handy, 16" or 18"?

    Thats a valid critique. I started looking at this without a clear direction or goal in mind in response to a thread on .308s being obsolete and a question about cartridge efficiency and muzzle velocity. I had a pretty heavy confirmation bias toward the .30 cals and I was initially concerned...

    Rifle Scopes Long Range Scope that can transition to short range?

    The package you’re looking at is fine, the 1-10 razor will work great for that role, the rifle will work reliably and be plenty of fun for a lot of shooting disciplines and the .308 is adequate for pretty much everything you want to do. home defense is a strange use for a .308 because the...

    Rifle Scopes Long Range Scope that can transition to short range?

    if youre comparing equal weight bullets, from the same length barrel, say a 147 gr. 6.5 and a 147 gr. .308, the .308 will leave the muzzle moving faster but will slow down more quickly due to higher drag from more frontal area and a worse BC, the .308 will maintain higher kinetic energy and...

    Rebarrel: Short and Handy, 16" or 18"?

    A .308 will perform really well in that role, it’s not Super fast or fancy and lots of people hate on them because the trajectory makes you work a bit, won’t matter much at those ranges and a LRF can pretty well fix that issue and let you reach much past that 500 m limit at the range. there is...

    Rebarrel: Short and Handy, 16" or 18"?

    At either barrel length, Using similar weight bullets (the only real overlap is in the 150 grain range) the .308 will provide better muzzle velocity however; (and this is a big one) within about 200-300 yards the creedmoor is moving faster, will drop less and retains better energy down range for...

    The germans could have won WW2 if they had better resources, a different culture, and hitler had listened to his officer corps about strategy.

    The Weather Channel and NWS... are they using control?

    I grew up on the coast of NC and went though a ton of hurricanes tropical storms and not-easters. We were always prepared with chainsaws, tarps, gas stoves, clean water, and later in with a generator. We got some bad damage and always had it cleaned up pretty quick. Last week we were on vacation...

    "Reactor"--New Company from Ryan McMillan

    Would be pretty handy for keeping track of atmospheric data for each shot when you aren’t thinking about it but it would be really cool if it could integrate with a magnetospeed or Labradar and maybe a co-witnessed rangefinder.

    Fieldcraft Learning resources for home defense strategy.

    Going to be tricky without knowledge of your particular arrangement and family locations, which I wouldn’t advocate sharing online. I have made a conscious effort to keep my family on one sideof the house and all the normally stolen garbage (TVs, computers, old I pad, small amount of visible...

    How free do you feel filling out a 4473 to buy a rifle that the constitution legal permits you to keep and bear with no infringements? we haven’t been free in 100 years, we’re just free range tax animals.

    FN SPR PBR Build

    That’s not a bad way to go either, I’ve been really digging into shot barrel comparisons, both the 7-08 and the 6.5 creedmoor make interesting shorties, I’m settling in on an 18” barrel 7-08 because I can set it up for pretty good mid-long range performance and I have more options for heavier...

    Hunting & Fishing 358 anyone?

    I’ve always thoughts weird that there were so many rifles chambered in .35 Whelen but so little for 358 win. I think all of the .35s suffer from lack of variety in off the shelf Ammo, but I bet if you “Ackley improved” the case and reintroduced it as the 9.1 creedmoor with some 200 grain supers...

    Maggie’s 6.6 duramax... good or bad?

    My 7.3 has been good but they are definitely underpowered for their displacement, that lower brake mean effective pressure of the old international is part of why they run so long, they just can’t push themselves hard enough to break that much. Absolutely the worst water separator drain valve...
