I am just curious how much the crunch had driven hoarding, I know I am more prone to jump when I see something I want, afraid it will be gone if I wait.

Why the hatred for savage?

Not being a troll or anything but I’ve got to ask, why the hatred for savage?

While I was fortunate ( very ) to win my rifle in a raffle, the set up is still going to be a considerable investment for me. I really don’t want to put a lot of money into a sub standard rifle. My 13 year old is also really interested in shooting as well, and the rifle will eventually be his.

I just want to make sure I’m going to be investing in a rifle that will be fun for both of us and worth the investment needed.

Amazon shows the $600 scope for $250?



Is this a deal? Or should I be leery?

Thanks.

Water Shortage and Climate Change "Experts" The sage of stupidity.

I have always looked at Cnn out of curiosity to see what they are trying to push. I noticed this article on Lake Meade which feeds the Hoover damn. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/16/us/lake-mead-colorado-river-water-shortage/index.html

Now the writer of this article mentions "Climate Change" soo many times if it were a drinking game you would be passed out on the floor pissing your pants covered in vomit.

What they fail to mention is the greatly increased use by humans.

So it is already know that people in the area are using the river past its capacity, I wonder if any of it is being wasted...

So don't know where these Climate Change types get their information from but I think I have pushed more meaningful things out my ass and flushed them down the toilet. Now, I am not doubting there is a drought currently. They do happen, but in reference to the original article from Cnn which was posted today, there is not any mention of the waste, over usage, the agricultural aspect and population growth. Which are the real factors. California was literally diverting water to a lake that didn't naturally exist and is not nearly as important keeping the reservoir at decent levels.

The narrative is fossil fuels are bad, causing the Global temperatures to rise, green house gases are bad. Which completely ignores the root causes of the actual problem.

Fucking BULLSHIT!

Recommendation on best place to go for a guided hunt

I've never been on a guided hunt nor do i know where to really start. I'm not wanting to spend 30k on a hunt but i would like to go somewhere and have a good experience. I'm located in Georgia and would prefer to fly but can drive if necessary. what have been some of yall's best experiences? I've only killed whitetail and pigs here. would like to get a Elk with my bow someday but the trips I've googled and seen means i will have to do Pablo Escobar activities in order to afford it.

would be interested in an antelope, axis, big whitetail, mule, etc. just didn't know where to start or what to expect. it can get a little overwhelming when you're searching so trying to see if anyone has had good or bad experiences?


would like to use a rifle but bow hunting is an option as well. Thank you.

What crime is being committed by selling fake Vaccination Cards

i read a story that FBI or some other alphabet police seized over 3000 dollars worth of fake vaccination cards that were flown in from china. My question is when has the vaccination card become just as important as a license. It isn't even an official anything. The CDC and gov't started printing these up to give to people who wanted them. Do they require you have this with you or would they like you to have this with you? Just like that we NEED to have our papers? Fuck that. Im surprised this is getting little attention

Maggie’s Restaurant Food Quality

Is it just me or has everyone else noticed this?

In the last few months I’ve discovered hair in my food on about 6 occasions.

It serves no purpose to name the restaurants because the local franchises may not be representative of the larger chain.

What irritates me is everyone is throwing a fit about the need to wear those stupid masks but overlook the more sanitary procedures to ensure food quality.

I’m within a hair’s breadth of starting to throw food at the cooks.

Anyone else having similar experiences?

Rant over - for now.

Anyone GC their own home?

So builders in my neck of the woods are swamped with work and cost of new construction reflects that. I know the cost of materials is still through the roof, but I’d like to get into a new home before rates go up. The way I see it, inflation is going to rear its ugly head and a mortgage at less than 3% is too good to pass up.

Right now I’m getting quotes of around $230 a square foot for garbage materials. I’m talking MDF cabinets, vinyl plank and ceramic tile. Nothing wrong with that, but I cant bring myself to pony up that kind of coin. Nobodys doing allowances anymore either and upgrade charges make the primer situation look tame.

If you’ve done it, how’d it go and would you do it again? We’re the savings worthwhile?

Bolt sticking

Hello everyone, I have a custom built 338LM that I had built about 5 years ago. After about every 75-100 rounds that I shoot, either my bolt sticks and will not retract or after I get it out, I cannot get it back in. So, I have had to take the rifle back 3 times over the years to have something done to it. I actually do not really know what he does but I know that in one instance, he had to file down one of the lugs. I do not shoot hot loads. I reload and have shot many different charges and it seems to still happen. I know very little about Gunsmithing but it seems to me that the bolt and action may not be "beefy" enough and maybe the caliber is just to much for it. Can this be? I remember a comment that he made to me when I asked him if he could build it. He didnt want to retool the machine so he grabbed his largest bolt, put a 338 case up against the head and then said "I think this will work". That statement has always stuck with me.....hence, maybe the action and bolt can't handle the 338 load. Anyway, looking for solutions. Guess I just need to have a new action made for my rifle. Thoughts or ideas are welcomed!!! Thanks all

💣💥Hoplite Arms-Important Announcements 💣💥

Hi,

So there are a few things going on that need to be in a more dedicated thread (They will be in the other Hoplite Arms thread too) due to their importance and relevance pertaining to Hoplite Arms business side of things.

The other thread is more of a free for all type posts and updates. This one will be mission critical :)

UPDATE 1: DOWNPAYMENT PROGRAM

We are in the final stages of testing the Aspis weapon system and will begin taking down payments toward the end of next week; with an anticipated lead time being 8 weeks (Dependent on barrel specifications as I have mentioned a few different times) for the Lapua Magnum boltface cartridges.

In the 8 weeks anticipated lead times for the Aspis model rifles we are hoping to be testing the Kopis conversion kits that will allow users to go from Lapua Magnum cartridges to regular magnum cartridges (300PRC, 300WM, etc) to short action cartridges (308, 6.5CM, etc).

NOW here is the important part of our down payment program!!
Apsis Weapon System (Base model): $6900
Down Payment: $3500
Balance Due: 30 Days AFTER DELIVERY!!!

YES you read that correctly!! Hoplite Arms will be offering Net 30 Payment terms. Pretty sure that might be an industry first; if not it has to be pretty close to it.

UPDATE 2: LAYAWAY PROGRAM
We will be offering an interest free 1 year layaway program in which you pay a deposit of $1000 and you make monthly payments; interest free until paid off. Until you pay it off we will send you monthly pictures of your rifle posing for you, lol.

UPDATE 3: LEFT HANDED RIFLE PROGRAM
Ok, so after a brief inquiry this morning from a potential customer in regards to his desire for a Hoplite Arms rifle it was brought to attention that he is left handed.

So to put our money where our mouth is in regards to we absolutely want our customers journey to be as awesome as the rifle, we made an offer to him and we (Hoplite Arms) had already decided that depending on his reply to our offer we would make it public process or not.

So here was the offer:
"After looking at the procurement schedule and availability of specialized materials we utilize along with R&D production schedule we would like you shooting sooner rather than later.
Shooting is a hobby and passion and not one that we should wait around for; at least that is our opinion.
So after real quick internal conversation we may have a possible solution to your "wrong handedness" lol.
May we suggest purchasing the Aspis in its' RH configuration initially and when the LH action has been tested and passed our satisfaction you can send your rifle back in for us to give it a complete quality check was well as rebuild it with a new LH action for an extremely fair prorated price.
By extreme we mean shipping, processing and paint. The LH action at that point would be virtually no cost to you."

So with his acceptance of that offer we are implementing it as its' own program.
Pretty sure that might be an industry first too, lol!!!

Sincerely,
Theis

VACCINE PROTEST MESSAGE BASED ON RELIGION - Very well written. Feel free to distribute or modify.

Why Some Assert Religious Exemption to Vaccine


Each of the Covid vaccines currently available include forms of testing and development with fetal cell lines, which originated from aborted fetuses. For example, each of the currently available Covid vaccines derived from protein testing using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. Partaking in a vaccine made from aborted fetuses makes me complicit in an action that offends my religious faith. As such, I cannot, in good conscience and in accord with my religious faith, take any such Covid vaccine at this time. Please provide a reasonable accommodation to my belief, as I wish to continue to be a good employee, helpful to the team.

Which Firearm Did You Regret Selling

I'm sure we all have THAT firearm that you look back on and really wished you never sold it. It would seem that I've regretted selling each and every firearm that I've sold. So much that I recently gave a revolver to my oldest son. He was looking for one and my shooting days are on the down slope.

Not more than a week later, I find myself on Gunbroker looking for a replacement. Yep, I bought another revolver just like the one I gave to my son.

I can cite far too many other times this has happened.

I have Firearm Separation Anxiety.
