PVA's 2025 "Freedom From The Crown Sale"

I know it isn't relevant for the sale, but are there any plans to offer a left-hand WTL action in the future?
Maybe, but like everything it's going to come down to demand. I'm lefty myself so I understand the want for such a thing but I do understand the work that goes into such a project.

Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

FIFY:

Right now, we are in dire need of people who want to do hard, decently paid, manual labor. On the other end of the spectrum, our school system has sucked so badly for so long that we need a lot of H1B (minimum: hard science BS) people to keep hi-tech going. Similar issues exist in the medical field. And then there are widening gaps in the trades due to having de-emphasised votech in favor of woke, irrelevant college degrees.

This is the reality, whether we like it or not.
I always enjoyed the hard physical labor, timber cutter and stonemason. Went back and got a woke, irrelevant degree in philosophy, but still enjoy the hard labor, mostly being outside and free to move around. I never could take being cooped up in an office or factory. Never got rich but I sleep well.

Different stokes.

Hide victors of the yard... looking for some suggestions here...

I am on year two of taking control of my yard. SiteOne is a great asset for all things yard related and they have helpful folks that work and frequent the store. my secret sauce has been a combination of stonewall pre-emergence with nitrogen in late February and again with no nitrogen in late May, speedzone for spot weed control and alternating a fungicide from may thru August. Aerate and over seed in September with a starter fertilizer. Hope for rain and mow it high from May to September. Also add Chelated iron with the fungicide to keep it all a nice green.
When my mower dies the next will be a robot. Starting to see them that can lay strips and mow with a purpose.

Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

I live on lake Buchanan and the lake has rising 9 feet since the 3rd , Buchanan is a huge lake, several miles across at the widest point which is where I live ,and it's been raining again all morning , already over 2.5 inches at Tow , fortunately we still have 7 ft of capacity before its full and 9 ft from the spillway , listening to the scanner there's already road closures all around the county , Burnet just east of the lake was hit hard Saturday and it looks like a repeat today , we need some sunshine and dry days ,but at least the lakes will be full all summer for a change.
I remeber Burnet getting nearly washed away from when I owned the home in Llano. Around 2006 wasnt it? I've seen it go a year without a drop then get the whole year in a couple days.

March come get your boy, this fucking clown is killing you and your reputation.

You had ‘some input’ on a reticle design, that’s just a copy of the MPCT1X with the MILXT two tenth alternating hashes added to it. Get over yourself. It doesn’t mean anything and nobody cares. You didn’t design anything or come up with anything original and ‘what you did’, didn’t grant you any kind of status.

Attempting to gaslight a bunch of grown men that own the scope and have owned, used and compared the products you’re talking about isn’t going to work. GTFOH.
BJ with all due respect bud I dunno that I’d be giving anyone advice about reputation.

Cheers

Finding a wife

Gentlemen, this is what you can expect if you get married. This man is being put through hell.

He's fortunate to have, from all appearances, a decent judge who isn't buying his estranged wife's BS.

The rest of us aren't so lucky. Any other judge would have this man suffering for the rest of his life.

This video is a great example of what women expect in divorce courts and what they usually get. Only this judge wasn't buying it. Imagine the outcome if this judge was a feminist cunt (like most of them).

Watch to the end. There is a good ending.

Lone peak actions.

I know a lot of benchrest smiths and shooters that are obviously very particular about ignition timing and spring weights. They tested different weights throughout the years and most consistency came at heavier weights.

That said i am not a benchrest shooter so only speaking from personal experienxe, I own/owned 10 different custom Actions and the lone peak fusion is easily one of my favourites and with multiple barrels on it, it’s always produced excellent results.

Finding a wife

If you have left any positive disposition towards women, dating apps will cure you of it pronto.

I'm kicking myself for not developing better social skills in my youth, and for not fixing myself when younger to be able to keep one of the good ones I had. Dating apps are a hellscape of single moms with breast tattoos, weird lefties and other assorted curiosities.

And all of them are convinced they're too good for you. (Unless you have a boat, apparently.)
Dating sites worked for me as I met my wife though one but I had to filter way down to find anything remotely of interest. This was also before Covid, I started talking to my now wife at the beginning of covid and missed all the crazies joining afterwards.

On the boat thing apparently holding a fish will cancel out the boat which to me is hilarious, some women just don’t like men fishing apparently. I used it to my advantage to further filter through uninteresting women with a picture of me standing on the back of a sport fisher holding a tuna. Here in the north east that’s a fairly expensive game to play and based on my time it’s pretty clear gold diggers have no idea how expensive it is to take a sport fisher for tuna.

That or I’m just apparently ugly as hell because i attracted zero gold diggers.

I've never done dating apps. The only positive disposition that I have towards any woman is for my late mother.

What I have learned from dating apps is from other men who are far braver that I am for that sort of stuff and from online videos.

@CMP70306 it sounds like you got very lucky. Congratulations.

With that said, and from what I've learned, finding a good woman on a dating app is like looking for a Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 at the bottom of a 50 year old landfill.

Well this is ironic as you’re making accusations about the 540 eye box and have never used one!
If you’re actually sponsored my March, I’d revoke every benefit the company is giving you if I were the owner. Jesus. You look like a larper moron on here quoting optics theory against multiple real word experiences.
Except I have used them side by side on several occasions.

Are the comparisons and conversations of shooters comparing them side by side not real world experiences? Speaking of irony isn’t that ironic that it’s ok to take some folks comments as fact but then seem to completely discredit others when they don’t align with yours.

Fact: shooters compared them side by side… shooters who aren’t affiliated with March made the claim that the March was a better overall package.

Fact: ocular design does impact eyebox, relief, and FOV into an optic.

Fact: Folks on this site who have never seen the March are claiming things they know nothing about.

PRS Talk 6.5 Creedmoor Factory Ammo for PRS - Recommendations?

Hey all, I'm looking for some advice on factory offerings for 6.5 Creedmoor. I've shot 2 regional matches and 1 pro series match with Hornady 140 ELDMs, but ran into some dope issues that cost me some points. I should've adjusted but the moment got to me. Chrono'd the next stage and had SD near 20 and ES over 50. I shoot out West so I typically will see targets past 1000 yards in most matches.

Is there anything comparable at the same price point? Not able to get into reloading at this point. Looking at Norma 130 GT, Federal, etc.

26" 1:8 twist barrel.
Good morning. I found some older sessions in my garmin chronograph app.
I’m no expert and learning everyday. Happy to help with anything. Pls reach out if I can help.
Please know that these configurations and results are unique to my rifle system. Always follow your equipment’s and ammo maker’s guidance on usage and load development.
One note: the 7.5t resulted in a +1.85 stabilization of my 144’s and 140’s.

Here’s the factory 147 in my 26” proof:

Here’s fed GMM 130’s in the proof:

Here’s when I started to reload Berger 144’s as my match loads in my CRB 26”7.5T:
