Maggie’s The Official Beer Snob Thread

As the "what are you drinking now" thread is mainly geared toward spirits, I felt we needed a thread dedicated to discussion of really high quality brews. Cheers!

This just came in today at my local store.

It's this year's version of Stone's winter seasonal spiced imperial stout. Smells of baking cocoa and cinnamon -very Christmassy, and all the flavors are well-balanced. 8.5% abv. Really enjoying this one!

Barrel Blanks advice!

Looking for some good blanks for my 223 project rifle. Just got the nucleus gen 2 ( thanks ARC) 😊
Mainly for plinking up to 600 yards.
I don't reloads maybe someday. KRG
Bravo on the way. $350 is the budget here. Bartlein, Krieger, Proof?
Any? Went to my LGS they have bunch of 223 from 55gr to 75.
What a good standard twist for those ammo?
Thanks appreciate the help.

Gunsmithing Orange Vise/Area419 Collab

Oh and anyone balking at the price, these vises alone direct from Orange are normally around 1300 bucks. So 1150, for this package isnt bad.

A fair amount of fellas here involved in aviation. Post up pics of equipment, experiences (there I was upside down in a thunderstorm 😊), you’re daily lives burnin’ 100LL or Jet A, etc... Whether you do it to pay the bills, just for fun, or just interested. We all file a flight plan through a ballistic calc or Fltplan, it’s the same, but different. Post away.

Or fathers. Or buying guns on Black Friday. Or something. Maybe we could pass a law to make shooting people illegal. Just spitballin'...

Advice on pre-64 Model 70

I’ve inherited my grandfather’s pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 in .30-06, made in about 1947. Dad was much taller than me and fitted it to himself, including a thick rubber buttpad glued to the stock. The LOP is absurdly long. I don’t know how it’s possible that I learned to shoot on that rifle from the age of 10 or maybe younger.

Should I fit the rifle to myself to use as a deer/elk hunting rifle, if the opportunity arises? Including cutting the wooden stock shorter, if necessary? Or should I leave as is and treat as a collectible heirloom?

The scope is a badass Easton duplex from shortly after the dawn of time.

My AXSR and SCAR 20S are awesome but maybe not ideal for hunting.

Thanks in advance for your wise counsel.

Federal Connection

Screenshot_20211201-103025.png

So Federal's idea is now to charge several hundred dollars a month to receive ammo as a subscription service? Because that won't hurt the amount of ammo available in retail and direct. How is this not going to affect the amount of ammo they produce and who they prioritize shipping to. Guess if you want to get 115 9mm ball you'll now have to subscribe to federal and get locked in for a year. Otherwise sit back and just hope that your local store gets 1-5 boxes a month.
And Federal cannot claim that its hurting for money, they just bumped all their prices by 15-25% this year.

Who would you have built a quality rifle?

Hey guys,

I recently started toying with the idea of having a 300PRC built. I talked to a rifle builder that is ball parking $7000 for a build on something like an AI chassis. Really I'm just trying to reality check myself and see if that is a reasonable price for a custom build or if anyone has had something done and thinks that price is way too high (or even not high enough for great quality). The last rifle I had custom work done was a Remington 700 338LM that I replaced everything except the action and bolt. That rifle with chassis was probably around $4k (not including optic/bipod) from buying the rifle, chassis and having the builder replace the barrel, brake, recoil lug, bedding chassis, cerakote etc. Any opinions are appreciated or even recommendations for a great builder.

What happened? 6.5 grendel vs deer.

So this picture is kinda graphic. I was going to post in the semi auto forum, but I figured you fellas lurking here might have a better idea of what happened. Shot this whitetail buck about 70 yards away with a 6.5 grendel, using Hornady American Gunner 123gr BTHP. Straight on shot to the chest. The entrance is larger than a soft ball. when I was processing it, the bullet was right under the skin in its hind end. There is literally no expansion. The bullet is just missing the tip and it's kinda flattened. What happened?

SOLD *Reduced* Sig Cross 6.5 Creedmoor $1300.00

LNIB Sig Cross for sale.

I bought it to try hunting some deer, and never ended up going.
This rifle shoots and packs well, most commercial rounds that I tried were right about 3/4" - 1"
This rifle printed best with 147 ELDMs, I would guess that this rifle could do much better with some fine tuned hand loads.

$1300.00+shipping
Optics, magpul grip, mount,sling and mount, suppressor, bipod and monopod not included.
