Yup, I understand. I do think modern CNC & Wire EDM has closed the gap, but then again... the cheap rifles I bought a few years ago are starting to not be. I personally never saw the fps "advantage" because my 375 Ruger's were always short barrels compared to my H&Hs. Desirable for trying to...

I 100% agree bring sh!t that works. But, I've also had four rifles CZ550, Win70, Savage, and Ruger medium-large bores. All under 1K, and all worked every time for hundreds of rounds each. I spent a lot more on glass and taxidermy. I wouldn't bring an untrustworthy rifle no matter the price...

Truly appreciate it. I've had "notify me when in stock" all over. Haven't had any luck.

I have too many collectable guns to miss that point. I'm sure they'll all be worth more someday than what I paid, but I don't really think of them as investments. But, I guess I don't understand watches, wine, whiskey, and cigars either. I'd much rather drink and smoke my favorite scotch and...

I wouldn't. That's a pretty poor return over 10 yrs. There is a reason stores mark stuff down after six months... cash flow makes money. Appreciation doesn't. If your moving stuff like rookhawk said, you can make some. Luxury items are a rough business. Some do well with it, but those guys...

I believe you. I put one in my cart to ensure it wasn't backorder when I posted. There were a couple on the shelf in Wasilla an hour ago. Internet speed drives me nuts.

Compared to wine and art? How about the return on say... Amazon? That is far more than 20% annually.

I don't get why everyone calls a Rolex an investment. I could annually buy 90 years worth of GShocks to purchase the entry level Rolex. I guess I'm confused on how buying a watch that barely keeps up on inflation would justify passing investing $5-10K elsewhere....

I'd like to know if anyone can find any 416 Rigby brass...

I keep hearing people going on about the ammo availability myth. Since the "the virus" everyone seemed to be pretty desperate for ammo. Nobody on the properties we were on had any, and our leftovers were eyeballed pretty heavily. When we were there in August, the big two had a few boxes of...

All calibers are equally able to be ballistically efficient, but for real world available bullets... yes, the 6.5 has for a long time been more efficient. It would be more fair to compare the 6.8 Western with a 175gr that has a higher BC than even the 6.5 143gr ELD-X for example. Because...

That isn't what I said. Physics are finite when it comes to external ballistics. Initial Velocity at the muzzle (Vi) is not deterministic to the Final Velocity (Vf). The deceleration based on mass and drag function of the bullet returns the Vf. So if at 500 yds the initial muzzle velocity...

Apples to apples is always really difficult, particularly with the enormous range of loadings, particularly with the 270. Somebody will always argue that selecting 140s for both isn't fair, and the next guy will argue the 130 vs the 140 isn't fair. I just looked at common loadings. Yes, the...
