    .50 BMG B.S.

    I sat between an M2 and a MK19 (both mounted in cradles) off and on for about 13 years. I much preferred the .50 simply because it jammed less, and if there was a malfunction I could clear it from inside the turret and not have to climb halfway outside. Somebody way before me coined the term...

    +1 Why worry what someone else is building and shooting when you don't have to fund it? We do this because it's fun, not because we're making money at it.

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    I understand the shipping policy. I had a scope sent to me that I purchased from a large retailer on Gunbroker (it was a discontinued item, but NIB). I never got it... the FedEx driver let someone else who said that they knew me sign for it at NOT MY ADDRESS. At least the driver made them...

    If you could share what your OAL to the lands ends up being, that'd be awesome man.

    Hunting with large frame AR

    I can assure you that at 300 yards the Grendel is extremely effective. 400 yards is getting to the max of bullet effectiveness though... you're starting to teeter on that 1,800 FPS range depending on barrel length. At 300 with most hunting loads you're still up around 2K FPS and over 1K lb/ft...

    Hunting with large frame AR

    My youngest girls are kicking ass with a 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC (my old nighttime pig guns). The adjustability of the AR carbine stock, and softer shooting gas system are a HUGE plus. I would put that as close to unarguable a position as Newton's laws. You'd definitely want to hunt...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    I'm definitely going to agree with you on the occasional verified professional not knowing the ins and outs of ballistics etc... to the savants that occasionally grace us on this site. But my problem comes from fabrication of stories. It is like anything else in life; You are frequently...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    100%, but until this dude gets universally outed to where he can't profit from his story anymore, then it isn't enough.

    .50 BMG B.S.

    There comes a point where you claim so much, that people will start looking into it. I unfortunately had a Marine - a frigging counterpart E6 - who constantly yapped about killing dudes as a prior infantryman in Afghanistan as well as the Iraqi invasion (even while we were deployed together...

    Maggie’s Another M18 accidental discharge

    As the father of a 21 and 19 year-old... yes. Used to mock what the next guy is probably going to say. I may be old, but I'm still hip. :D

    Maggie’s Another M18 accidental discharge

    Really, I think @DocRDS was being a bit sarcastic due to erratic capitalization. If not, please flame away at me...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    I think that this guy's knowledge was proven to be extremely limited before... and that he spends a lot of time talking out the side of his neck. The above clip demonstrates that he has no clue what a Ball/API/APIT or SLAP round will do to a human. That story was complete fabrication. I'm...

    Rifle Scopes $2500 MSRP Limit (PRS Production Class)

    I have been here an hour or two, and rarely see such a scripted advertisement on this site. That is what the naysayers are going after here man. The optic might be great... it's just hard for most of us (especially the CounterSniper era guys - with their bertrillium-zantitium glass and 99.97%...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Going off of my limited knowledge; the JGS reamer (more popular for 140 class bullets) has a .163 freebore. I'd guess that .175 could get the job done if you wanted to run 150+ projectiles... but you'd might want just a little more freebore than that. .225 does sound excessive. That is what I...

    Proof SS or Wilson combat super sniper

    I have three Wilson Barrels, and all three will consistently shoot sub-minute. That being said, all three look as good as any Savage barrel through a borescope... the chatter from the button is very real. I have one Proof, and need to shoot it more before I give my opinion on it... but the...

    I applaud your willingness to experiment man. Obviously, you're going into this understanding that you aren't going to break any performance records... but if you get good accuracy (and have fun), then I'm down to read your results. If you can put up side-by-side wind results at distance...

    A flush, its spinning and about to hit the cesspool.

    Yep, NYC is the perfect place to let this experiment fail. The only downside is the inevitable emigration of NYC'ers to outside areas where they can continue to vote retarded and perpetuate the demise of this Nation (similar to Californians). Unless... this experiment fails so hard that the...
