Hi all -

I'm looking into a lighter weight but well balanced setup for my vudoo 20" MTU as it's an 18lb rifle in an XLR envy Pro chassis right now.

The chassis works great, feeds perfectly, and it balances well...but I need every internal and external weight to make it happen. My scope isn't helping (ZC527) but I have moved it as far forward as possible with a comfortable position.

I'm curious if a manners, mcmillan or other chassis (that feeds reliably) with a front weight will balance well and help me shave 3-4 lbs off of the total package.

Thanks!

Hey all

Just an update,

I am sending another email blast, with the server changes and new systems being put in place I am upgrading my email marketing system too. I moved my marketing to my email server.

That means an email blast is going out in order to get acquainted with the system. It's sooner than normal, but it's pretty innocent

I am not a fan of emails this often but changes are happening so, necessary

I appreciate understanding it not my intentions to be this frequent with this type of email. The weekly Threadloom is a bit different and I will go in and adjust that as some people have fall off the system.

Thanks

WaPo Suggests Black Americans Who ‘Tired of U.S. Hostility’ Consider Relocating to Ghana

Oops the progressives said the quiet part out loud…you think this message was Bezos approved? I remember back in the day if anyone said if you don‘t like it here in America then go back to Africa they would get blasted. Hypocrites…the irony is rich.

Received my 3rd foundation centurion for the fleet build yesterday. Went with the coyote coloring which there are hardly any photos of on the internet. Most the foundations you see are black or dark distressed. I am very pleased with how the coyote looked against that black barreled action. Anyone else have coyote color?

Asking $515 shipped. I no longer have the box, no scratches or marks of any kind. Like new. I just don’t need multiple bipods.

as above. very little use 18-21 " bbl,1/8,vg trigger,your word on demonstrated accuracy,smooth action a +. i really don't like chassis guns-depends on the deal. has a semi wide forend called shillouette,varmit,it varies with maker barrel contour/weight same. has a rail or easy to find one.synthetic or wood. pillars a big plus. not looking for a "bench rest" gun. the best options are tikka t3x varmit or super varmit. those are totally gone nationwide. i have looked and called everywhere. actually my firrst choice would be a howa 1500 mini. they don't exist either. a buy wouldn't happen quick. i have several things to move before MC is feed. so just starting to look in my search for something that can replace higher end 22lr and 308 in my world. budget would be about $1500 OTD max.

Have a Bravo and a lot of extras that I’m looking to move

-Base KRG Bravo R700 SA with a whiskey 3 forend, and 3 LOP spacers - SOLD
-DIY KRG steel weight kit, will work with any KRG stock. Has steel bar insert and steel arca rail - SOLD
-Vision KRG forend for R700 SA. Makes an extended integrated arca rail on any KRG SA rifle. Comes with 4 external weights. - $350

Just caught the first half of this documentary and it is really excellent.

Carlin's mastery of language and words was always inspirational. Not just 'dirty words' but all words and language. VeerG would have said the same.

We joke about grammar Nazi's. But the reality is that words do matter. And mastery of them is more powerful than any kinetic weapon.

My college yearbook quote was "The pen is mightier than the sword... and I have a word processor."

This is what George Carlin was all about. Never letting someone else limit the words you use... or your mastery of language.

Totally worth watching. Especially to see his evolution from a 'square' joke comic to a counter-culture icon who really, really was one of America's first libertarian.

Totally worth watching!

Sirhr

Need help deciding between the scopes listed above. Budget not to exceed $3k (USD). Or other options I may be missing with an explanation on why.

Rifle will be: Impact 737R, 22" M24 contour chambered in 6.5 Creed, McMillan A5, KMW DBM, Dead Air Nomad LT, MDT one piece scope mount. (34 mm main tube required)

Intended use: 80% target shooting, 20% long range rabbit/ground hog hunting.

My personal scope feature rankings in order of most important to least:

1) Tracking
2) Tracking
3) Tracking
4) Optical Quality (at this level all should not be an issue)

Uhhh wut?

How the fuck do you support the “one china” thing but are willing to use the US military and main streets kids to defend Taiwan if china attacks it….yet Taiwan is part of china by your own admission at the same time??? And how would china “take Taiwan” if it was already theirs???

You don’t get to play the “defend Taiwan” card while you’re holding the “one china” card dumbass


Did china not make their tithed to biden and co this month?

Currently have a 6.5prc, but looking to add another rifle for range/play use. Is the 6.5 too close, should I look at a 308? I don’t really need another rifle, just kinda want one.

Selling my 6.5mm 8 Twist M40 Contour Mod BB 29" barrel blank.

Asking SOLD shipped. NO Trades, PP or Zelle

I have really offended people by suggesting that anyone who claims to shoot little grey squirrels in the head, offhand, at 100 feet, with an ordinary .22, killing them CONSISTENTLY, is either lying or letting pride warp his memory.

I'm not talking about shooting the best match ammo from a bench, using a great scope and an expensive rifle. I mean a typical $250 Bass Pro rifle with ordinary ammunition. I'm talking about an ordinary guy who doesn't shoot competitively, with a Skoal circle on the back pocket of his jeans. Standing with the rifle at his shoulder. Not leaning on anything. In the woods. Aiming at an animal that will run off if he takes his time.

I'm wondering...what do people here think?

A squirrel's brain is less than 1/2" from top to bottom, and it's slightly over an inch long. You can shoot a squirrel in the head and injure it badly and not kill it. I shot a squirrel's lower jaw off one day and saw it wandering around trying to feed the next day, which is why I now use a shotgun for standing shots. I put a spinner target 100 feet from my bedroom door, and I aimed at it with a scope. Even when I lean on a doorway, I find that the point of aim wobbles around in about a 1-1/2" circle, making an ethical shot impossible. With no support at all, things are even worse. Then there is the .22 ammo, which is doing great if it gives you 1/2" groups, rested, at 100 feet.

What do the rest of you think?

full disclosure: I'm a complete idiot, with very little natural mechanical inclinations.

I purchased a pre-owned KRG Bravo Chassis for my Tikka T3x Lite, and I am brand new to bolt guns.

Went to install today, and I can't tell if I did it correctly, despite following along with the instructions, provided.

I knew that the lite profile barrel might look a little odd sitting in the Bravo chassis, but this seems.... incorrect?

Also note the gap between the trigger guard and the chassis.

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if this is normal, I would greatly appreciate it!

Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams ridiculed the state of Georgia Saturday, dismissing rival Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) claim that the Peach State is the best place to live and do business in the United States.
“I am tired of hearing about how we’re the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live,” Abrams said in a speech at the Gwinnett Democrats’ Bluetopia Gala in Norcross, Georgia.

GA may be #1 place for biz, but we’re #48 in mental health, #2 in uninsured. #1 in maternal mortality & new HIV cases, #9 in gun violence. For too many, Kemp’s Georgia doesn’t include them. Why? Because #KempDoesntCare
As Governor, I’ll lead #OneGeorgia that’s #1 for all of us.

Stacey Abrams may think differently, but I believe Georgia is the best state to live, work, and raise a family.
And Marty, the girls, and I will work hard every day from now until November to keep it that way for four more years! https://t.co/T77LF1DroP

The U.K. Daily Mail reported on Abrams’ remarks:

Abrams, who is running unopposed while incumbent and heavy favorite Brian Kemp and Trump-backed David Perdue duke it out for the GOP nomination, was reacting to Kemp’s persistent brag that the Peach State is the best in the nation to do business.
Abrams went on further to clarify that she felt the state could do better on issues where they are ranked near the last in the nation.
‘Let me contextualize,’ she said. ‘When you’re number 48 for mental health, when we’re number one for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that’s on the rise and wages that are on the decline, then you are not the number one place to live. Georgia is capable of greatness, but we need greatness to be in our governor’s office. We need someone who actually believes in bringing all of us in there together.’

Abrams ran a failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign against Kemp and has since refused to concede, stoking conspiracy theories of a stolen election. This time around, Kemp is also facing another Republican in Tuesday’s primary election — Sen. David Perdue (R), who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Abrams has slammed Kemp for his stance on climate change and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in Georgia. However, Kemp argues that the state was the first to end lockdowns, allowing businesses to stay open and preserving Georgians’ livelihoods.

In recent months, NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have become increasingly popular with many celebrities promoting their own NFTs. Now, many fans who invested in digital tokens promoted by their favorite stars are financially “crippled.” One investor believes that celebrities “took their payouts and moved on while everybody who scraped by to invest in their futures got robbed.”
NBC News reports that many investors who purchased NFTs promoted by popular celebrities have found themselves financially ruined. NBC News tells the story of a man named Tyler who purchased a “Bored Bunny” NFT promoted by champion boxer Floyd Mayweather.

NFT band “Kingship” (UMG)
Tyler invested $12,000 into the NFTs, which are just a series of images of rabbits similar to the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club that grew in popularity as NFTs became more prominent in the crypto space, based on Mayweather’s endorsement of the project.
The Bored Bunny NFTs are now worth much less than the $12,000 Tyler paid. “This basically financially crippled me,” said Tyler. The 35-year-old property manager is now struggling to pay for basic necessities like gas and groceries. He feels that Mayweather and other NFT promoters “took their payouts and moved on while everybody who scraped by to invest in their futures got robbed.”

Madonna NFTs (Beeple)
The Bored Bunny team was promising returns of “2x, 5x, maybe even 10x the value of [their] investment,” for investors. But the value of the NFT project dropped significantly and has yet to recover, with the floor price of a Bored Bunny NFT sitting at 0.05 Ethereum or $104.09, a major drop from its mint price of 0.4 Ethereum — $1,504.54.
The Bored Bunny founders have denied any wrongdoing and Mayweather has declined to comment. But this is an ongoing pattern in the crypto space, especially with NFTs. The practice is referred to as a “rug pull” in which new NFT projects are promoted with high-profile endorsements that sell a large number of NFTs that promptly lose most of their value.
In 2021, Breitbart News reported that singer Grimes – real name Claire Elise Boucher – successfully sold a collection of NFTs for $5.8 million in February. But while the cost to buy one of the 303 NFTs in the collection was initially around $7,500, some recently traded for as little as $1,200, an 84 percent drop in value.
Gauthier Zuppinger, the chief operating officer of NonFungible, commented on the trend of celebrities losing money on NFTs stating: “From what we’ve seen so far, most of these collections don’t have much liquidity, which is one of the two ways for NFT collections to die: lose value or get frozen. It’s probably too soon to draw any conclusion for now, but it looks like these were more experiments than truly valuable collections.”
Fans who have invested in NFTs of naked Madonna may be in for a rude awakening.

Hilarious!!!
