    Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

    Again, no Tikka guru but I believe the standard Varmint is not threaded. Plus the CTR has the DBM setup.

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint 223

    I'm not a Tikka expert so I may be missing something but it would have to be a big something for me to pay that kind of premium vs a CTR. Adjustable cheek riser and fluted bolt is all I see. But for the added $500 I could have a Bravo and get the bolt fluted. I will say, I do think they are...

    Hey, vaccinated

    I've said for a long time that mandating the vax is ridiculous. If it doesn't stop the spread but masks the symptoms, vaccinated folk will be the ones predominantly spreading the infection. And yes, I had the Phizer. I got it early on when they were still hiding the fact it didn't prevent...

    Is abortion ok

    False comparisons. Forcing abstinence or making her carry to term all occur before an infraction. You can only penalize AFTER a law is broken, like your speeding reference. If women and physicians knew they would be imprisoned for manslaughter or murder then the numbers would plummet. They...

    First Long range setup - looking for advice

    @UpstateSC Zermatt Origin was exactly what I was referring to. You could honestly choose from a wide variety of custom actions and be just as happy if not happier than with the Origin. I suggested it because it's about the most budget friendly action that has swappable bolt heads. Heck, grab a...

    First Long range setup - looking for advice

    Origin SA, stock/chassis of choice, barrels in 223/308/6.5 CM/7SAUM. Should cover what you'll need. I believe @Steelhead shoots his SAUM out to around 2k or better.

    Hunting & Fishing Pics out of or from your blind or stand.

    Trying to get rid of some of the paw patrol. Occasionally they will chase the squirrels around the corn pile in the day light. They prefer to come in between 10p and 4a. I may have to invest in some boogie-man gear.

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    Very valid point. And no, I've never had a drink and driven. One drink and I won't drive for at least 4 hours. More drinks extends that time frame. My dad is an alcoholic and has done some stupid shit. I decided not to continue the legacy. I personally feel that there should be greater...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    It was only to help emphasize the point that if we eliminate imprisonment for victimless crime that we would open up room for those that aren't willing to be cordial members of society. I personally feel that fines don't drive home the irresponsibility of actions that endanger others. I mean, is...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    These statements combined are the exact reason I believe we need a system overhaul. Fuck putting people away for possession. Their body, their choice, right?? Empty the prisons of all the folks serving time for victimless crimes. Now, when dumb shit passed out and leaves lil Janie to play in the...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    This is likely due to the withdrawal of people from physical interaction. The interwebz, loss of jobs in early 2000s, and recently Covid have all helped to keep folks from getting together face to face. It's hard to have an emotional attachment or view someone as human looking at their typed...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    Probably easier than getting most live ones into treatment. You can drag them both but only one will be kicking and screaming.

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    Not saying it should. Just expressing my feelings that some patients deserve empathy without any sympathy. Some deserve both. I can appreciate that addicts are in shitty situations. There's my empathy. I will not, however, feel the least bit sorry for you because of piss poor choices. That's all...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disease According to this definition, fatigue could be considered a disease. A disease that, for most, could be resolved by making the choice to take a nap. Trust me, I know there is WAY more to it than simply saying, Yeah I don't think I'll do that...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    As someone who has struggled with being overweight/over-eating I understand that addiction is tough. It's the only "disease" that can be fought and won by making better choices. My wife's cancer couldn't be willed away by avoiding her cancer dealer. My son's seizures aren't a product of...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    Could it be a 450 Bushmaster bolt in a 308/AR10 carrier? They have the same rim diameter, correct?

    6.5CM AR choices: DD5v4 or something else?

    Sorry. I saw in your original post that the MWS was too heavy, expensive and you lost the CF option. I thought you were calling the platform too expensive. But you certainly don't lose the carbon barrel option. If I didn't already have an MWS I'd lean REALLY hard towards Seekins. They are just...
