I’m pretty sure those as much larger than photons… :D

While incredibly strict in many ways... Iran is actually fairly progressive in regards to women compared to some other Islamic countries in other ways.. For example, women in Iran can drive.. they can hold public office (most public offices, but not all).. they can work in pretty much any...

no solids for buff for me... im in the use a quality, tough, expanding bullet camp... like an A-Frame, TSX, TBBC, etc..

my experience has been "it depends".... in situations where we have spotted something, and closed the gap with the vehicle.. typically theres a quick gear check when dismounting (got everything you need to stalk? gun, ammo, rangefinder, or whatever else it is you want with you?).. and then...

I have a 721 in 300 H&H.. its been a very nice rifle.. Ive got a buddy in the market for a 300 mag of some sort (hes not particularly picky.. WM, H&H, PRC, etc are all on the table for him).. he likes my 721... I'll let him know what youve got and see if he has an interest.. and will shoot you...

Welcome! You guys have a sika of mine from an Ireland hunt I did a couple of years ago.. Im super excited to see how it turns out!

I have never hunted deer with a 45 Long Colt.. but I have hunted quite a few hogs and deer with large caliber, slow moving (relatively speaking, compared to most typical centerfire rifle cartridges used for deer like 270, 308, 30-06, etc), heavy projectiles.. My experience with 44 magnum...

I hate you... :D :D :D

I hear what youre saying.. and I am extremely scrutinizing of any non profit that I consider giving money to.. I not only want to know what % of money goes toward actual projects and programs.. I also want to know specifically what programs are being executed that my money will go toward, etc...

I actually prefer doe whitetail for eating.. and our property is overrun with them.. so it doesnt bother me to take them at all.. Dont get me wrong.. if some monster sized buck walks out of the wood line Im going to get excited about it and definitely going to fill my buck tag that day... but if...

theyre not mispronouncing anything.... theyre just speaking Texan... :D

lol.. one of the first things I did when I arrived in Kabul in 2007 was to buy a 250cc Helmand Davidson… I think it cost me $500.. I sold it to the guy that came in as my replacement about 120 days later for the same amount as I paid for it.. I drove that thing all over the place… every time I...

money, interests, and peoples willingness to spend and/or prioritize things they spend on are all relative.. I take myself as an example... I an far from "rich".. but I recognize that I am very well seated at the higher end of the "middle class".. and dont really want for much.. I am also...

I’ve got a couple of different floppy hats I typically take… One is a very old woodland camo boonie that I was issued sometime in the mid 90’s..30 odd years and it’s still going strong.. the other is something of a Tilly knock off.. I’m unsure of the manufacturer.. but I’ve had it maybe 7-8...

further interesting that the tank is flying an old soviet era flag rather than a Russian one... (Im guessing alluding to the WWII "victory" that the tank participated in and trying to not bring attention to the crowd that there are indeed no other tanks on display)...

Lots of free prostrate exams! :D

:D :D :D

exactly the right size to be both delicious and look good on a wall... :)

Im exactly the same... I found balance for most of my rifles with barnes ttsx and tsx... but tried a lot of different things before I got there... while they are very accurate in most of my rifles, there are some cases where old school partitions (my 375), accubonds (one of my 308's and my...

Every POTUS (every senior govt official for that matter) has an extensive staff.. whose actual job is to keep him advised, tell him what to say, not to say, how to say it, etc.. its impossible to keep 100% up to date on every possible matter in the world.. to include the biggest topics of the...

you and I rarely agree on much.. but on this I absolutely agree with you.... Biden will swear he'll never send another artillery round today... because someone told him thats what he needs to say to get a vote.. and then send a C17 over tomorrow with a dozen palates of 105mm rounds... and...

Not exactly the same thing... What he said is if they commit to a major incursion into Rafah, that he would stop sending in offensive capability (i.e. bombs, artillery, etc).. that would support that incursion.. That doesnt mean defensive support is cut off (at least for now), which would...

this is where I think the 7mm PRC and 300 PRC likely really shine... were I looking for a new rifle to take on a goat or sheep hunt I'd probably look really hard at PRC options.. and likely be willing to put up with the extra recoil on the shoulder and intentionally look for a very light weight...

Im of the opinion if youre only going to take 1 gun, a 375 is a very good option... but.. for me at least, thats rarely the situation since I typically travel with my wife (also a hunter).. so we usually end up with a 308 and a 375 between us, and I have the option of grabbing the...

I am super impressed with everything Ive seen about the 300 PRC in terms of accuracy, ballistics, etc... My only concern would be whether or not its really needed? Its got substantially more recoil than a 300 WM or 300 H&H (about 15% higher in most cases where Ive compared notes).. which either...

I’ve got a number of pre-war M98’s that have become custom sporters… most are coming up on 100 years as their serial numbers indicate early to mid 1930’s manufacture.. a few date to the late 20’s… but I don’t think any of them have crossed the 100 year mark quite yet..

I’ve got one that I occasionally use on the range for initial sight in on the heavy recoil stuff (when I remember to take it)… but I don’t like that it adds about 1/2” to my already really long LOP… so I don’t use one in the field… Because my wife’s LOP is particularly short, and mine is...

when I was cleaning up the gun it actually took me almost a month to find a box of 100 cci longs... and even then it was by total accident.. I had checked every online source I knew.. checked my local cabelas.. checked a local academy.. and found nothing.. I wandered into a gunshop over in...

Winchester 1890 in .22 Long... My father in law worked in the Ag industry for 40 years... he was BSing with a farmer in a barn and saw an old oily cloth wrapped around an object in the corner and asked what it was... the farmer told him it was an old .22 that he used to use to shoot rats and...

CMP had a bunch of them for about $1250 a few years back I think… but prices have definitely gone up up… I think @TTundra is probably in the strike zone on todays value… Makes my stomach turn every time I remember that I bought mine back in the early 90’s for I believe $250… and then sold it a...

A lot of hogwash has been distributed about the "Lost Boys" of Sudan/South Sudan.. so you have to be careful about what you read, who wrote it, and try to figure out why they wrote it, what they were trying to get at, etc.. before you accept it as truth or valid... but, that said, what is...

not to avert the current conversation... but FWIW, my firm was boots on the ground less than a month after South Sudan became an independent nation, remained on the ground through its most recent civil war, and still has ties to some work being done in that country post the most recent civil...

now that Im back at my laptop and can increase the size of the pics you posted.. I am 99% certain you have a type 3 there.. type 2 serial numbers stopped somewhere a little over the 1,015,000 mark from the literature Ive seen on them.. with your serial number being just a little over the 2M...

the best way to get around cape town in my opinion is the hop on - hop off tour buses... theyre cheap, safe, and run every few minutes on two different routes that take you to all of the tourist destinations, a couple of different areas with several great restaurant and shopping offices, etc...

type 2 was short lived.. I think only about 85K type 2 pistols were made.. if its a type 2 I think it would bring a little more value than a type 3 (about 250K type 3's were made I think).... one way to tell is to look at the hammer... the other is to look at the markings on the slide.. a...

I hadnt given much thought to a VP candidate Youngkin... But I am VERY much liking that idea... Much to the dismay of Northern Virginia, Youngkin is wildly popular pretty much everywhere else in the state and might just be able to ensure VA going red in 2024 if he were on the ticket... Hes...

We're in agreement... My post was in response to another members post (that has since been deleted... and should have been) that called for the elimination of "98% of muslims")...

I don’t know if you ever check out Hi-Bid auctions… but I’ve actually seen quite a bit of oddity ammo there lately going for good prices.. There’s a box of Norma 6.5 jap up for grabs there right now… it’s at $5 for the box currently (plus shipping, plus buyers premium, etc)…...

I repaired an old barn find 6.5 Arisaka that my father in law had a few years back.. those actions are incredibly strong, and the 6.5 is super light on the shoulder… With a decent scope on top of it, it’ll make a pretty cool black tail rifle that should be a hoot to shoot…

I don’t have a problem with Muslims… and I have very personally been involved in fighting people in more than a few garden spots around the globe that happened to also be of Muslim faith… What I have a problem with is radicals.. of any religious faith, or any political ilk, or any belief system...
