    Tripod Help

    Dang thats a good price, but I'm looking for something that is a little shorter folded up. Trying to get as close to 20" as I can, which means 4 piece legs.

    Tripod Help

    I'm looking to upgrade my tripod for night hunting and am getting lost in the weeds on all the options. Use is for night hunting only, no comp shooting. Needs to be able to support up to a M110ish clone with a PVS-27 on it. Everything else I hunt with is lighter than that. My current tripod...

    Another shooting at a Christian school.

    Where do these guys get their info? I Haven’t seen a name releases anywhere. With AI these days I don’t believe anything right away.

    What happened to going back to the moon?

    I disagree that we don’t have the knowledge or the people to accomplish a second trip. iPhones have more computing power than the whole damn Apollo craft. We clearly can do it again. I think the real revelation is that what’s broken is government. In the 1960’s, we still had a government...

    Need heavy equipment advice.

    Looks like a nice machine. I have a bobcat and every time I sit in another brand machine I wonder how people can live like that lol. Especially the CATs I've sat in, I never felt like I could see nearly as well out the front as I can in my S250 or any of the newer bobcats Ive been in. Hand...

    The BearPit 2025 Rifle Build / rifle never gets built we just argue about dildo throwing

    It would be more fun to start a poll for each component and watch people argue ZCO vs TT for 187 posts before selecting a 10x SuperSniper because money LOL.

    So I went to Grok to Dissect Gravity Ballistics

    @Lowlight not sure if this has been covered before but… Say for example that I’m in the field and have a rifle for which I lost all dope (happened to me on a hunt, idiot me only put the dope on the scope cap that I promptly lost on day 1)….rather than go from memory or find a range, can I...

    Precision shooting off a vehicle

    I will say that the times I've done it, I've never noticed any vehicle movement in the scope, except when flopping around to get into position. We don't get much wind here though, so that probably matters also.

    Precision shooting off a vehicle

    Has anyone ever noticed any precision (or accuracy) issues when shooting prone off of a stationary vehicle? Such as prone out of the bed of a pick-up, or off a decent sized trailer? Does movement of the vehicle on the suspension come into play, or is there just too much weight for it to move...

    FBI declares Sig 320/ ‘M17/ M18 unfit for duty

    I did find it interesting that the department wanted the stock triggers replaced with flat shoe triggers. I am no pistol expert, but arent flat shoe triggers mostly a cosmetic thing? For a work gun, my instinct would be that curved shoe would be ideal because it means your finger ends up in...

    FBI declares Sig 320/ ‘M17/ M18 unfit for duty

    Sig fans like to argue "well you stuck X into the gun so you're stupid." But there is a good reason its done that way. How else do you simulate the striker being released from the sear without a trigger pull? All they are doing is pushing the sear down to release the striker, to test the...

    FBI declares Sig 320/ ‘M17/ M18 unfit for duty

    I haven't followed this saga super closely, but I've read a little. Here is my uneducated prognostication of whats happening. I think the safety lock is getting disengaged by jostling as the report has shown. I think the sears are releasing because of poor machining, combined with guys...

    FBI declares Sig 320/ ‘M17/ M18 unfit for duty

    I think the main conclusion of the report is that, through pressing down/pulling up on the frame/slide, it was possible to disable the striker safety lock. They confirm this not just on the subject pistol, but on a brand new one as well. That means that on a duty-carried gun, which is likely...

    Russia/China Intel failure?

    Also, if Iran knew that they knew and didn't say anything, that could make future alliances with Iran (or maybe even others) more difficult for Russia and China? Not that those two were ever trustworthy.

    Russia/China Intel failure?

    I have no inside baseball, but I bet one of the main reasons Trump seemed on the fence about using bunker busters would be showing the world how they work. If you blow up the bunkers, now the world knows you can go at least that deep. If you fail to completely demo those facilities, now the...

    Russia/China Intel failure?

    Did the Iranian's have any air defenses left? I was under the impression that Israel owned the sky for a few days before the raid.
