And yet it’s aftershocks plague us to this day. The whole “war on drugs” and it’s violations of civil liberties, the militarization of police, the ATF and associated violations of the second amendment, it all stems back to prohibition precedent. Freedom has to win every generation. Tyranny only...

Or they realized if they sentence him it will energize his base like the last few times. If trump wins they know they got nothing. If he loses they can do whatever they want to him.

Just hold onto cash to be ready to buy the dip.

Just use good technique and the recoil eventually won’t bother you. If it’s too much get a limbsaver

I have a 45-70 tactical lever action, and it is an excellent gun. It’s a henry 45-70 X model. As for why i bought it 1) I already had a 45-70 revolver so a matching rifle made sense 2) I plan on supressing it so a threaded barrel from the factory is a requirement 3) the inclusion of a small...

#1 lesson in long range shooting was use the whole target. But from an assassin’s perspective of making sure he’s dead a head shot makes sense. Even if trump wasn’t wearing some level of body armor he has the second best casevac in the world. Second only to a sitting president. You bet your...

That’s the list price of just two 737 max. My insurance underwriter friend’s joke that a human life was worth half a million pre covid holds true after inflation.

The treasurer can provide fraudulent reports. Im not saying that it happens at any particular church, But a lady in my town defrauded a number of organizations by creating BS treasurer reports and falsified bank statements. Screwed my favorite gun club over pretty badly. They had to postpone...

And we’d be perfectly happy doing it too

The military reason is everyone gets an M4 so that’s what you use. And as far as cqb weapons go an M4 with the issued eotech is maybe 90% of the the ideal cqb weapons features anyway. The reality is the super special guys who get to pick what they want to use for CQB seem to end up somewhere...

I owe my pvs-14 to bitcoin. I invested (gambled) a guns worth of money on bitcoin when it was down during covid and sold it relatively recently. Got a nice white phosphor unit with some great specs. 300% return on investment in 2 years is nothing to sniff at. Bitcoin keeps making steps towards...

I have a leupold 1.5-4 on my lever action 45-70. I have the moa ring reticle on mine and I think it helps with quick target acquisition, and the 5 moa drop notches help with 200 yard shots. (Just so happens my 45-70 handloads drops 10” at 200 yards so that first notch down is dead on) IMy...

This was shooting prone off of a backpack. So doing that the gun isn’t in my pec like I prefer. My shirt has a “padded” shooting shoulder but I’m convinced it’s all for style and not actual padding. My ammo is strictly middle of the road for 375 h&h. I’ll probably pick up one of those PAST...

Of the two ranges I frequent there’s 2 solutions to this problem. One range just has us all spaced out instead of jammed like sardines. The indoor range that doesn’t have that sort of space has a plywood divider between each lane. Keeps the brass for each person in their area.

I got to take her to a long range this weekend. Used my handloads, I got out to 450 yards on a 12” steel plate. I never expect to take game at such a distance but it’s nice to know. Turned my shoulder into mincemeat to do it though. 17 rounds of 375 h&h in one shooting session is a lot. I...

I just shoot loud guns until everyone else moves away from me.

Timberland chocuras are the greatest hiking/hunting boot in all conditions but snow. I get about 4 years per pair and i put a LOT of miles on them.

Lefty bolt actions are already less common. Magnum length even more so. I think the CRF is getting hit by price. Even the nice bolt action rifles like tikkas and bergaras aren’t crf anymore

Ding. Boeing will never face the consequences a lesser company would because they ARE the USA aerospace industry. Lawsuits for wrongful deaths and FAA fines are the cost of doing business

I agree with you but i also think there’s another layer to this. Classification is a system set by the federal bureaucracy. The President is the duly elected highest office. I’m not saying rules don’t apply, but I think it’s ridiculous that some bureaucrat have that kind of power over the...

I don’t get much choice in the matter… i manage to damage just about everything I own pretty early on. I’m just rough on things

I’d love some plentiful and hardy not quite but mostly bighorn sheep. Maybe then I could actually afford to hunt one.

The shmucks who consume legacy media still approve of biden. The establishment likes biden. 1.9% of our workforce is a federal employee so they like him. Everyone who’s business relies on government contracts like him. The automotive industry likes his green initiatives because it’s forcing...

I only really shoot 22 rimfire, 45-70, and a handful of 9mm. My 375 comes out on special occasions. My AK looks so sad and lonely in the corner of my gun room, but I just can’t bring myself to pay quadruple what i used to for ammo pre ‘rona.

I haven’t hunted in Africa either, but Ive done a hell of a lot of research, and if you watch a large volume of youtube videos of animals killed with x caliber you get an idea pretty quickly for how animals shot by x caliber react. 1) .375 is the minimum diameter. For the bigger animals...

I would respectfully disagree with you there. Perdue would find US citizens to work for them if their wages were higher and more competitive. Immigration legal and illegal is being used as a stopgap by employers to avoid raising wages. I understand importing technical knowledge, but most of what...

I’m sure shifting the focus from safety to skin color doesn’t help and is absolutely a step in the wrong direction. But that’s only exacerbating the deeper problem that the airline industry as a whole has a very shallow technical bench right now. They have people with decades of experience and...

Axial compression is a function of cross sectional area AND the Young’s modulus. Considering carbon fiber is usually mostly hollow, or filled with foam, I bet the difference in felt stiffness is far less than you might think. Additionally, the modulus of elasticity of steel is around 215 Gpa...

In other news, coyote and wolf population exploded on catalina island in 2024

Not to be reductionist, but dictatorial thugs stick together. And considering the Chinese dictator for life Xi has given putin a special friendship medal recently, and the supplies, equipment, and weaponry china and north korea are sending to russia I think it’s unlikely that Russia will join...

Divorced beheaded died divorced beheaded survived, if I’m remembering the little rhyme right

That’s the key. I bring a sniper veil when hunting. Nothing crazy, just a brown or green net depending on foliage colors. But when worn properly it does an extraordinary job of breaking the human silhouette up. I use it to peak at animals without attracting their attention.

Thank you for explaining statistics on a topic i actually care about for once. You know if they taught statistics in regards to shooting in school maybe I’d have actually paid attention.

Generally I thought it was known that for superior accuracy you don’t crimp your bullets. Most long range shooters i know don’t crimp their bullets. But crimping is necessary if you’re concerned about recoil moving the bullets in the cases under recoil. I crimp the snot out of my 45-70, 44...

ER Shawk MK VII

I pronounce her field-worthy! Got this doe the second day of rifle season at last light. In one shoulder and out through the other.

All set for deer season this weekend, rifle is sighted in at 1.5” high at 100 yards and 3” low at 200 yards. I’m loading speer 270 grain soft points with 71 grains of H4350. What is everyone’s experience with speer soft points on game? Im assuming at proper shot angles i should have no issue...

Personally I’d love to figure out a load that doesn’t blow up my gun but stretches the case the extra .060” to make it into full length brass. The problem I’m having is the brass spends a while in an intermediate stange where neither my hornady crimp nor my lee crimp work properly

I’m 6’4”, the best sticks I have are the super tall ones i made myself. Most production sticks will have you scrunched down if you’re much more than 6’2”

You have a flat shooting rifle you trust you’re halfway there. Find some monometal bullets and experiment with those you will need a tougher bullet for through the shoulder shots.

Who do you guys use to ladder these short term CDs?

Shouldn’t he have been a prohibited person for being involuntarily comitted to a mental health facility?

Half of the fun is finally using your super nice gun for what it was meant for!

I know two folks who have complained to me about ammo availability of 375 ruger. I don’t know all budgets, but ER shaw in Pittsburgh will make you a bolt gun in any caliber under the sun. As long as you’ve got a year to wait lol.

I got a mossberg 535 from Walmart years ago for $289. I’ve taken that shotgun hunting in rain, sleet, and snow. I’ve fallen on it, used it as a walking stick, and dropped it dozens of times. It still runs like a champ and I’ve bagged more game with it than any other firearm i own. I consider...

I mean the best isn’t always necessary. Premium bullets maximize performance for your caliber. But if you’re using more than enough gun already who cares? I don’t need a ttsx for my 45-70 or 375 h&h when all I’m doing is shooting whitetail. The deer is gonna go flop immediately when hit with a...

Boyt harness makes lefty shirts. It has a shoulder pad on the left shoulder and right breast has button pocket and shell loops. Long tails too which is essential for me being 6,4”. I have one long sleeve (with the tab and button for holding roller) and one short sleeve and they are my favorite...
