    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Or Clancy's Red Storm Rising nearly 40 yrs ago. I just can't believe we are staring at a ground war in Europe between two nation states (applying very loose definitions of the term to the two 'loser' nations involved here). Is the world really so insecure that Putin thinks he can win this...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Serious question - would Russians be doing this with Trump in office? would Trump more aggressively push military assets (ATGMs, SAMs, etc) into, or even try and push a NATO Rapid Response Group east of Vistula River?

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    "Calm" before the storm? Also, Russians appear to be moving a significant amphibious assault group towards Black Sea / Crimea, upwards of a brigade combat group: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/43914/more-russian-landing-ships-leave-baltic-sea-amid-growing-fears-of-invasion-of-ukraine...

    Still need help rehoming my wolfdog Nikita

    If there is a financial solution to this problem I would be willing to help Howard out with it. I like the Kalispell MT solution too ... right next to Glacier National and the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

    The most popular president ever is building a concrete wall around "our" White House.

    So I just walked around Lafayette Square and the White House, and the 'wall' they have built is around the fountain in front of the White House. It is made of painted plywood. The wall is NOT around the White House, but more correctly in front of it. I spoke to several Secret Service officers...

    The most popular president ever is building a concrete wall around "our" White House.

    I have got to go down and see this. Maybe I will take metro down this afternoon (I work in Bethesda MD). I will take some pictures if I do and post them up here.

    New sawmill coming tomorrow

    Looks great. If you are cutting hardwoods, the key skill is the drying. Running a mill is relatively easy (and quick). Drying it is where the knowledge and work comes in. Without proper drying, you are wasting your time. Maybe it is a different story with softwoods, but hardwoods move and...

    Wyoming Antelope Hunt - 0 points

    Newcastle is great for antelopes. We had no problem getting in there and hunting. I didn't do the organization work however, so I can't tell you the details. There is a really fun bar in Newcastle. Bucks? Horns? Something like that. Good eats and beer, fun folks.

    First time at 2000 yards

    here is another one for the ELR Mtn Dreamers (like me) West Pine Creek, off the Yellowstone in Paradise Valley MT. Elk season 2 years ago. Wind had plastered snow on the down slope face of all the trees. Mtn in background is 2000 to 4000 yds. However, good luck hitting anything with a bullet...

    PVA 212 Seneca

    Bandit320, the 198gr from Warner and from PVA are VERY close to the same bullet. The profile / form factor is exactly the same. The two differ on cooper alloy used and the manufacturing process. I honestly like the Warner a bit better, but its very close. My experience has been the 198grs...

    NPR sucking china off again

    Visit China and see the real story. Outside of the high end hoods for all the party apparatchiks, the place is a dump. The reality is so far from "the workers' paradise" like the commies promised. I would never trade even one aspect of the US capitalist democracy for anything in China...

    RUN JOE RUN...for a 2nd term

    Here is a challenge for you all: can you think of one - just one - valid reason to vote for this guy? I honestly can not. I can't think of even one thing, over his 50 odd years of public service, that even closely merits a consideration to vote for him. Pretty much every choice he has made...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Supreme Court needs to go our way now :)

    Advise on Caliber for up to 2400 yds

    100% agree here. I used to have one, in a short action, and I used it all over the Rockies and at Alleghany Sniper Challenge in WV. Was an awesome gun for 2500 yds and in. Easy precision, <<0.5" groups at 100 w/o much load development. Low SD/ES. No need to look beyond the heavy Berger...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Agreed. And learn to run faster. Every time I see that video of him exfil'ing, I think "why is he jogging? pick up the pace man!"

    Remembering.

    You are aware that the ship below is named after those brave brothers? She is returning now after being forward deployed with UK Carrier Strike Group 21 into the S. China Sea, one of the most significant projections of UK power since at least the Falklands.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    This past weekend, used my 20" 6ARC in AR15 at a match I host on my farm twice a year. VERY nice. Ran a clear room stage nearly as easy as a 223 AR. Then in the next stage, 600 yds across a windy valley, hits nearly as easy as a 26" 6x47L bolt gun, with plenty of energy to see and spot...
