There are very few problems that can't be fixed with either $700 or a .30-06

I've been using the same MSR Whisperlite stove since the Reagan Administration... I like that which Ballistol can do, but the scent is... shall we say... not quite roses? Nor even yet Hoppes Number 9.

I know it's taken a bit, but I found my goblet. Now that I've seen it again, it seems they are red stag, and not roebuck. I like that better, I think. Hochwild, and not Niederwild. I know it is hand painted, and it brings me fond memories.I need to use it more, and not just keep it on the bar.

Ha! If you think the guy who prints that feels useless, I once new a guy who installed turn signals at the BMW factory...

I too was disappointed by the lack of images. This appears to be an update on the TM35, including the addition of the video feed. If so, I wish they had this when I bought my TM35.

You do, of course, realize that's the way we do things around here, right?

I'm just idly curious. What possible conditions could Germany negotiate? Which would have been acceptable?

similar, I airdrop to my laptop, and save as a JPEG, but do not change the size. Seems to work.

What I've noticed from iPhone pics is the HEIC format usually doesn't work, but if I convert it to JPEG, it's fine.

Well, research isn't difficult at all... https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/senate-bill/1200

Now do open southern borders...

Wasn't that part of the amnesty deal back in '86?

Tailgunner was the best seat...

OK, so the problem with this is if he doesn't use the NG, which is close, there are no restrictions on using straight up Federal Troops... and if you want close, convenient, and no requirement for a deployment, that means more Marines from Camp Pendleton. They might want to think that through...

Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but this was written by a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. It may help answer some questions as to what laws are being enforced and violated...

Trying hard to remember the fireworks, molotov cocktails and rock throwing back in Kent State. Yes, the Ohio National Guard responded "inappropriately". But the Kent State protests were nothing like what's going on in LA.

Minor point of order: 1st and 5th Marine Regiments are (and were in 1992) based in Camp Pendleton. 7th Marine Regiment is based in Twentynine Palms. FWIW, I was involved in some of the logistics of deploying the Alert MAGTF back in '92.

Well, I was gainfully employed in engaging terrorists from 2001 until 2016, and a little bit beyond, so I can't say shooting ANTIFA would upset my breakfast much at all.

I don't know who needs to be reminded about this, but just in case: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to...

1998 Defender 90

Going off memory, between 5 and 6. I really enjoyed that hunt. Brought home a few Rehbok as well, but didn't see any Keiler...

Oh, it's less than 8 hours to Bolesławiec, where we had a great Rehbock hunt, and 7 to Szczecin, and I took my Rothirsch not far from there. Rothirsch are much larger near Warsaw, and that is a much farther drive, but our SOP was to pick a four day weekend, drive out Friday morning, hunt...

The club in Stuttgart does a very good job, and is now tied at the hip with Kreisjägerverband Böblingen (KJVBB). There, we gave the needle at the conclusion of the shoot, right when the card was signed. It's the card that matters, but the needle is nice. MSZU in Ulm will issue the Bavarian...

That matches my experience on a German driven hunt, and explains well the requirement for a Keilernädel.

While we are pestering you, any news re: SHM brass?

I spent 30 years of my life in the Marine Corps, from 1986 to 2016. The Marine Corps does not have "shorts". Underwater Dive Trunks (UDTs) are worn by swimmers (i.e. divers, recon in boats, et al.) but not away from the water. Unlike SEALs who will wear them with a utility top, Marines simply...

This is not a bad idea at all. Several of the ranges I used in Germany (specifically MSZU in Ulm) used them. There were hoses by the rifle rack, after a relay you would place the rifle in the rack and add the hose. The compressor was always on, so it was a good way to keep the rifles cool as...

I'm a graduate of a war college, and a Canadian Joint Staff Programme. Per Goldwater-Nichols requirements, I am a Joint Qualified Officer. There are issues with DoD, and with Goldwater-Nichols. Those requirements are not the issues.

OK, so this may or may not be what you are looking for, and this is a German (Bavarian) company. They will ship to the US, but you would need to contact via email. I have successfully ordered through them when buying raw Loden to make curtains for my house, and I ordered a cape from them when...

That's where I sit. The appeals court is interesting, but I don't know what was challenged, or the ruling, or whatever. I don't have access to LexisNexis, or any other legal search engine, and I'm not sure I'll get the full story from any other open source search. So I'm not sure what to...

I'm trying to find more information on this. From what I read, the issue is the judge disallowed evidence and testimony that perhaps should have been allowed and would have created reasonable doubt. If anyone has details, I'd love to see them. This is a real problem, and we've seen this...

I have a Merkel K3 in 7X57R. I'd like to get another barrel for it, but Merkel does "Customer Service" in the best German tradition (which is to say grudgingly, if at all). The second barrel I am trying to get is .22 Hornet. My thinking is this: 7X57 handles most non-dangerous game. I can...

I'm hunting, not sniping. Get closer. I'm not by any means a "long range shooter". I really have no interest in it. But, once, if I remember well, I could hit a man sized target using iron sights with a bone stock .223. And I guess that's the point. I never said it's not capable, for...

Yes... but to where would we be sending this brass, if in fact we could find it? If already in the EU, SHM is the answer. If in the US, hope for Raven Rock. Also, you may be able to find NOS on Gunbroker or some other site. That's where I've sourced most of my RWS brass for my 6,5X54,

Raven Rock has promised us he will be importing SHM brass, and I'm really looking forward to him importing SHM brass. It's good stuff!

I have a Fausti that I bought new at a factory visit back in (IIRC) 2021. Working with Barbara was a pleasure. They are a good family. My understanding is Mr. Fausti (the sisters' father) worked for Beretta, and had a "better idea" to improve things. This idea was not something Beretta was...

That's not what I said. What I said was: "as a target rifle (with high BC, lighter weight bullets) it's not suitable for hunting, and as a hunting rifle with the higher weight bullets, it doesn't do anything a 6.5X55 doesn't do." In other words, THIS bullet is not suitable for hunting...

To be clear, my issue with the Creedmore is not that there is anything wrong with it, it's that as a target rifle (with high BC, lighter weight bullets) it's not suitable for hunting, and as a hunting rifle with the higher weight bullets, it doesn't do anything a 6.5X55 doesn't do. So I can't...

So basically, you're telling me I can have a larger, heavier bullet and only give up 50 fps? Sold.

Yes, of course. I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning. Oryx is bonded, Vulkan not. Idea behind the Vulkan is larger wound channel. https://www.norma-ammunition.com/en-gb/norma-academy/dedicated-hunting/ammunition/why-choose-a-bonded-bullet

Not Africa, but a hunt in Poland. My guide on a late-May Roebuck hunt also owned a large hand painted pottery business. As a parting gift, he gave me two goblets painted with roe around the goblet. I'm away from home right now, so photos later. It was completely unexpected, and quite the...

I was wondering if anyone has ever used one of these. It mounts to the scope, so does not affect barrel harmonics. When I was instructing, I thought it would be helpful to have something so I could see what the shooter sees through the scope, to help coach on aim points, flinching, etc. I...

Would like to know the details. My understanding is the Oryx is designed for soft skinned game, while the similar weight Vulkan for thicker skinned. What was he shooting?

As far as "what laws were broken?" I would say anyone using Presidential Authority without, you know, actually being elected President is a huge no-no. You know, like authorizing the use of an autopen, etc. Doesn't matter if "I think he'd agree with this"... There's another way with dealing...

I know it's just showing my age, but I had thought it was the preferred chambering in the Watergate Hotel...

Did you just repeat yourself?
