    Politics

    Yes, of course not happening with present political constellation, and war to conclude before. As I said: Iron Curtain or North-South Korea post war is other scenario. It is quite possible. Now lets project this 20-30 years ahead. Europe on green policies, without cheap energy imported from...

    Politics

    The question is why? Maybe exactly in that rests the answer of alleged Russian "success"? What I dont know, is this - has the US policy under president Trump lead to this, or has the Russia position and exploits of this conflict led to this change in American policy? What comes first, chicken...

    Politics

    I think it is more serious then that. They are grinding forward continuously, for 4 years. Maybe they have thrown everything they had, but so did the west coalition and yet Russians are still moving forward (inch by inch) And on global level this has caused biggest crises in western world in...

    What are the most EFFICIENT rifle cartridges?

    Most probably Hornady superformance line will fit description best, with muzzle velocities faster then average. And generally family of 7mm cartridges have the best ratio of trajectory, and sectional density (penetration). Various 270's, 284's, European 7 mm's, etc

    Head shot and spine shot Question on broadside cape buffalo

    On the conservative, traditional, passionate and opinionated forum like this: Good luck with the idea ! ;) After theoretical research, next challenge will be to find actual PH, approving this on the ground. PH will probably say, "buffalo, broad side, 50 meters, shoot at the shoulder". Then...

    I use Wheeler lapping set. When all is prepared and lapped, I do not use any glue. I apply just a little bit of white choke to increase friction between scope and rings. Additionally I apply thread locker on bolts, using torque wrench. This is short version. It you need full details, of how to...
