On this, St. Patrick's Day... a shoutout to possibly the greatest Irish-American of all time... Father Duffy

So... don't want to type out all the details... So read it for yourself.


But as the chaplin for the "Fightin' 69th" which traced its roots to the Civil War as a New York regiment made up largely of Irish Immigrants... he is recognized as a hero of WW1.

He was the epitome of leadership and served alongside "Wild Bill" Donovan (MoH and founder of the OSS). A young Douglas MacArthur considered him to be an icon.

He was, as far as I am concerned, the epitome of the Irish American who rose (against much opposition) from hated immigrant to the very symbol of Law and Order in America. A man who blended faith, patriotism, leadership and mentorship... and who helped make being of "Irish descent" into the very essence of being American.

On this, St. Patrick's Day... this is the kind of Irishman who helped build modern America. And who probably, almost noone, has ever heard of.

Erin go Bragh!!!!

Sirhr

PS. I'm of Scot descent. So for me to say anything nice about the %$#@ing Bog Irish... damn, this dude must have been someone!!! He was!

Blue on blue.... they are eating their own!

So not only attacking Lardashian for appearing with a Tesla Robot... and keying their own cars (most Tesla owners are green lefties... just a demographic fact!)... so they are keying their own cars!

And now Schumer is receiving so may threats for caving on the Continuing Resolution... that he has had to cancel his book tour over security threats!


Damn... that mostly peaceful far left sure seems peaceful! When they are so un-hinged that they are going after their own sacred cows (like Schumer and R.F. Kennedy and others)... But it's what Communists do. Violence is justifiable when their socialist shining future is on the table. Omlettes and all that.

Maybe this is a wake-up call for the millions of Americans who still call themselves Democrats because their grandparents voted for Roosevelt and their parents voted for Kennedy. As the saying among many life-long Dems who have red-pilled goes: 'I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me.'

Well, whatever. If the lefties attack Schumer, I'll laugh my ass off. You know why? Because he should be protecting himself with the 2A. But he has tried to destroy that since he was a slimy little Freshman Senator kissing Diane Feinstein's ass... The biggest gun grabber the senate has EVER seen.... Schumer. Now at the mercy of his own ilk.

Bah hahahahhahha...

Help me decide?

Two years ago I built my first custom, it’s also my only magnum caliber big game rifle in 7PRC. The gun shoots great and I killed a nice bull elk (my first) with it Nov 2024, but otherwise it goes to the range only occasionally.

Kelbly Atlas Tactical Action
Preferred Barrel Blanks 24” Stainless Varmint/Sendero Contour (total 400 rounds)
Trigger Tech Special
KRG Bravo with light Arca Rail and minimalist spigot mount
Burris XTR III 5.5-30X56, FFP SCR 2 Mil reticle
ARC M Brace one-piece scope mount

I love the action and everything about the gun except the weight. It easily shoots .5-.7” with factory ammo (when I don’t flinch). Here is my dilemma, It weights 15.3 lbs with my Nomad L on the end. Not exactly heavy enough for regular precision work with a magnum, and too heavy to comfortably hunt with it where walking and hiking are required., To be honest, I only big game hunt a once, maybe twice year and most of the time I’m pretty close to the truck (2-4 mile walk max, usually less). I do shoot long range (out to 1367 yards currently) for fun and competition, but I have dedicated precision guns in 6.5CM and 6CM for that.

I’m wondering what to do-

Option 1- Keep the gun as is and just deal with the weight for my limited use. Maybe a sling would help with carrying? I guess I could drop 1.1 pounds (from the muzzle) by leaving the suppressor at home, but I like the sound and recoil reduction.
Option 2- Sell the Kelbly altogether and buy a new Seekins PH3 (approx $1900),and save about 4 lbs without swapping anything else. I love the Seekins stuff and already own a couple.
Other options-
Keep the Kelbly, swap the Preferred stainless barrel a Proof Carbon 24” barrel and save almost 2lbs ($1000)
Switch to lighter rings ($200) and save .5lb
Sell the Bravo and swap to a Manners LRH Stock ($1000) and save another 1.2lbs or so.
Sell the Burris and switch to a lighter hunting scope? Cost? Weight savings?
Option 4- Any other ideas?

Just want to make sure I’m not missing some other options that would save weight at a reasonable cost. Thank you!

Help with Impact 787r questions

Looking for some knowledgeable impact people. Was eye balling the 7prc proof prefit barrels on Brownells.com for $350 shipped and trying to find out what the scoop is on the 787R.

From what I can tell it has separate threads and uses a .750 bolt diameter.

Looking at the Impact website it refers to the 787r/787nbk.

Is the long action NBK the 787?

Or is the 787 a version of the nbk?

Is there anything wrong with the 787r for a hunting rifle?

SOLD Tacops Delta 51 - well used

I’m selling my Tacops delta 51 in 308 with Tacops suppressor. I bought this from a sheriffs dept in Washington State. They were unsure of round count, but it’s high…think 8-10k rounds, but it still hammers for me with 168 fgmm. I will pay my side of the suppressor transfer fee.

$3,250 for rifle and suppressor shipped con US PayPal f&f or Venmo

Edited to add some pics I found.

Vehicle hail damage question

I went out of town and my truck got hammered during an overnight hail storm. Golf ball sized hail damage to every surface of the damn thing.

I'm familiar with how the process works on the property side, but not auto. Specifically, the threshold of repair vs. totaling a vehicle. I don't know how much damage paintless dent removal can repair. I'm not sure the process works of totaling a vehicle and options to buy it back from the insurance carrier.

I filed a claim and I'm waiting on the adjuster appointment.

Any insight or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Have a 320 you no longer trust? Consider a Flux Raider.

Login to view embedded media Here is my review for those interested. TL;DW—it’s a really cool little PDW package. Nice to be able to drop a (non-RDS) carry or full length slide and FCU into it and have an easier to shoot package that can store 43+ rounds on board. Suppressed with the Wolfman I found that it gassed me out really fast, being so close up on it. All in all, if you have a 320 or FCU sitting around due to the current issues with the platform, this might be the ticket for you.

SOLD Like New Manners TCS MAX REM 700 SA $1400

Shot from the bench in one match. Decided to stay with my chassis because it is lighter. This is the MAX version that has the balance point moved to the front of the mag well. Comes with Sikes rail/clutch and all weights that you see. This is the version where you run your own M5 pattern DBM. I believe the color is Tommy Bahama. You won't find one cheaper, IF you can find one at all.

$1400 shipped via Paypal F&F, Venmo, or Zelle.
