    Many around here who took the jab now showing same.

    "The scientific community has been left stunned after a group of leading scientists presented evidence..." Well, a study of ten people that had a vaccine, five who felt symptoms the first time (fatigue, soreness, etc) vs five that didn't feel symptoms post vaccine. Measured skin temp and...

    How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

    I think some old crusty CMP Garand shooter wandered in here by accident? "Zeroed" sights mean it was clicked all the way down and needs to add 8 -12 "clicks" up for 100 yds...... We'll just be nice to the old boomer and offer some prune juice.

    Healt friendly brass polish

    Healthiest choice is no polish-you don't need it. Just use walnut or corn cobb media in your vibratory cleaner.

    Keystone Pipeline Conspiracy Theories?

    Hmmmmm, just maybe, could it be that Greenpeace was actually right about the potential it could rupture?

    Ballistic calculators disagree with my actual elevation amounts - help please!

    We do the same, and quit calibrating the targets due to the constant changing of POI/POA on the screen. With that said, shooters should be skeptical of using an E-target to establish a hard zero, unless it's their own target with confirmed calibration.

    Ballistic calculators disagree with my actual elevation amounts - help please!

    Yeah, if you had said in the first post that E-targets were being used, a few of us would have asked "did you calibrate the targets?" ShotMarker and Silver Mountain have to be calibrated, because the electronics will say "center" where it "thinks" is center. You would check your electronic...

    SS United States

    Yeah, we have the Queen Mary as a museum in Long Beach Ca, not that impressed and it's cost the city and states tons of cash for "upgrades" in the past despite being well kept. So gotta say no....

    Xero failures

    Eh, if it breaks inside it will be described as "dropped or abuse" which is probably written within the owner's manual under warranty denial.

    GAP M40a5 or GAP M24

    What happened, I thought no wait time?....

    Very disappointed

    Amazingly, FGMM 168 seems to shoot just as well at 600yds as 100, so it's not such a big deal.

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    Hmmm, OP didn't get the answer he wanted....

    Metric trajectory correction formula

    Just when they finally quit engraving elevation knobs with " click = 1 cm/100meter" so Americans would buy their scopes....

    7PRC problem. Brand new prefit barrel, reputable smith, bolt wont close on freshly sized new brass

    Well, brand new brass SAAMI cartridge headspace spec is usually less than the chamber headspace spec, so something is amiss. And yes, the die is squeezing the shoulder forward a few thou.

    Friend from childhood recently passed. Left me his guns. Need some advice on one.

    Blast and Parkerizing it yourself. Buy the decent mix from Brownells or Lauer.

    Anschutz 1710 at a Dallas are vendor - Is this bad condition?

    Yeah, was trying to figure what "ring" in the chamber he was talking about.

    Anschutz 1710 at a Dallas are vendor - Is this bad condition?

    Can someone clarify. Is the 1710 a coned breech? That's different than the standard Annie 54 receiver. I seem to remember the Annie 54.30 having a coned breech, but I thought the extractors were at 10 & 2 O'clock vs standard 9 & 3 O'clock.
