Lots of scrap metal in Ukraine... just sayin. HIGH dollar scrap metal. As for surplus weapons and such... most of that probably has made its way to the Black Market.

Probably a bunch of unexploded ordnance too.

Farming...nah... clink boom.

First check out the PX here, you will likely find scopes in your price range. Second, what is your desired range? you have said what you do now, but what would you want to do with this? With what you said your uses are, either of the two ATCARS would be my choice, again look at the PX and see what they go for there.

HORROR: Two Dead Bodies Discovered On Plane at a Florida Airport | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

A shocking discovery aboard a JetBlue flight has raised serious concerns about aviation safety in America. Read on to learn more about this developing story and its implications.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Airline officials made a shocking discovery Monday evening that could raise more questions regarding aviation safety in America.
As The Daily Mail reported, JetBlue airline officials found two people deceased in the landing compartment of a plane that had landed at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida. The aircraft departed JFK Airport before arriving in the Sunshine State.
According to flightaware.com, the aircraft appears to be Flight 1801 from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, which arrived in Fort Lauderdale just moments after 11 p.m.
JetBlue explained to The Daily Mail that the dead individuals on the flight were discovered during a post-flight maintenance check inside the JetBlue plane’s landing gear. Airline officials are investigating how the bodies got there.
“This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred,” an airline spokesperson told the New York Post.
The Daily Mail also reported Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and medical examiners were seen outside the airport. Spokesperson Carey Codd told DailyMail.com that both victims were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Both of the deceased are male but have not been released yet. Officials are working to determine how the bodies ended up in the landing gear.
Medical examiners are also working to determine a cause of death.
Operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport are continuing without any alterations despite the tragic deaths.
This tragic news also brings to mind a similar incident on New Year’s Eve in Hawaii. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the body of an unidentified dead male was discovered in the wheel well of an airplane at Kahului Airport in Maui that day.
The body still has not been identified even after several days.

CALLING PETER BUTTPOKEE, CALLING PETER BUTTPOKER, PLEASE REPORT TO THE FORT LAUDERDALE- HOLLYWOOD AIRPORT FOR CLEANUP!!

Hey all, got a Steiner IFS in the rare FDE M7XI 4-28x56. I don’t have the box or anything. Just the scope. Nothing wrong with it. Works great!

$3200 shipped for the scope, caps, and bubble level. Not selling the Spuhr. Thanks!

Good those choices are there for you. They just offered another. Only so much you can do with the weight and caliber for BC. I load the 75 BTHP in my ARs.

I also shoot the 75 ELDs on my bolt gun and never saw any flyers.

I'm the same as you, 75 BTHPs in gas guns and for practice in bolt guns, 75 ELDMs in the bolt gun when I find em cheap or for local matches if I wanna shoot tac. Same powder charge and BTO, both shoot bugholes in multiple barrels. No flyers for me either.

It's cool that Hornady have made a higher BC 76gr bullet that fits in AR mags but I'm far too cheap to run A-tips in my gas guns, haha.

The most important info is round count.
Beyond that, it's a used take off barrel in a not particularly sought after configuration. If it were mine I'd list it at $100 and be fully prepared to settle for $50 after having it listed for months with little to no interest.

I agree. You can get a pretty good shooting, brand spanking new barrel for not much over $100.

I'd throw it in the barrel bin to be saved for a future project that you haven't even thought of yet.

When I'm considering barrel profile, I first start out considering the thickest heaviest contour I can get in a 16" barrel. I then consider how far I need it to shoot and how much umph it needs to have when it gets there, to determine my needed velocity range and barrel length. Once I know how long it needs to be, I then consider how much I'm going to be carrying it around. If I'm going to be carrying it around, I like a total package of around a 10lb or less carry weight. Thicker, heavier and shorter is better, but you have to give a little to get what you need.

Had to replace our NG hot water heater in early 2024, tankless wasn't an option for us without 1. upgrading our NG meter and 2. some horrendiously ugly white PVC exhaust/vent piping. The 50gal replacement we got works well, but there are times we need more hot water.

Anybody running one of these electric "hot water extenders"?

A 10-3 line to 30A breaker was already run to my utility room when I bought the house, which looks ideal for one of these.

Our resident expert @C_Does has put together some excellent reviews on the very scopes you are asking about. I would encourage you to watch these as someone who reviews a large number of scopes will always have a broader perspective and more objective opinion than someone who owns one of the three you're asking about.

If he resigns or goes out for any other reason right now, that means that the Democratic governor will appoint a senator to finish out his term until 2027.

Didn't MDT make a mount/base a few years ago that was called the Sky High?

mark5pt56 · 2025-01-07T12:32:03-0500

Other than the market demand for the P7, there's no reason they should cost that much, even if HK made it. What would drive it up though is the fact of start up, tooling cost and the actual number of buyers-may not be as high as the internet makes it out to be.

Leftist Canadian Politician Fires Back at Trump — Proposes Annexing California, Washington, and Oregon into Canada | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

In a daring response to Trump, Elizabeth May proposes an audacious idea: annexing California, Washington, and Oregon into Canada. Discover the implications of this bold political move.

Green Party leader threatens to annex three US states.
Canada’s Green Party leader, Elizabeth May, took aim at President-elect Donald Trump, offering a wild “proposal” to annex California, Oregon, and Washington into Canada.
Her comments, dripping with arrogance, reveal an out-of-touch politician grasping for relevance while ignoring the stark realities of her own country’s struggles.
Trump posted on Truth Social last month expressing frustration with the United States “subsidizing Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year,” while pointing out that many Canadians might actually welcome the idea of statehood.
He argued it would save Canadians money on taxes and military expenses, framing the prospect as beneficial for both nations.
“No one can answer why we subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year? Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!” Trump wrote.

EXCELLENT IDEA, GO FOR IT!

I still have a photo somewhere of my nasty wog-ness being cleansed with the fire hose as I was sitting on the foc'sle. That was a really fun day.

When you kill tradition, you kill pride of belonging. When you kill pride of belonging, you encourage complacency and the cancer starts to grow.

When I said turd, I meant I hope this things works. There's really no way to know till it's all together if this thing works as implied by the seller.

So as I have now read the instructions. This seperate lock ring here sets the eye relief. You loosen it and slide it forward or rearward till the you have your eye relief where you want it and then lock it back down against the front ring. So that question is answered.
One other question I got and need a little clarification. The manual here says the total travel iss only 40 inches(?)....

Sure doesn't seem like much for a target optic. Does that mean we can at least maximize the use of that mere 40 inches of adjustment? Or are we basically stuck with roughly 20 up and 20 down upon sight-in. 20 would get me 175yds-ish. Not the end of world since this will likely be a 50yd benchrest setup more than anything.

The hexagonal nuts hide screws that allow you to adjust the sights without using the knobs so they remain on zero and zero upon initial sight-in.

One positive is I've already ran the 52B with modern glass and I have tested ammo that is guaranteed to really hammer. So if I have problems....its gonna be directly correlated to this optic. So at least there's that.

You already seem to know more than 90% of the owners. The round adjustment system for both vertical and horizontal windage/elevation adjustment is rather limited in its travel but does enable very fine adjustments. The grease in them tends to dry over several decades so, if yours does not move well, you can take it apart and clean/grease it for better function. Do not do this unless you have to. Those adjustment screws under the hex caps enable you to do coarse adjustment to match the rifle, load and desired zero and then use the fine adjustment to complete the job, so it is more effective than it sounds at first. The focus/parallax adjustment on the front objective lens is also very fine and if your target moves from 50y to 50 meters you will want to re-adjust it. It is tedious to adjust but once you get it right, it does not move. It therefore for me at least made a better scope for shooting only one distance since I lack the patience to fu#k with it over and over.

Something that I noticed with my first 52, a Pre-A speedlock rifle is this. I had a modern 6-24x optic mounted that worked very well, but when I mounted the big long BalVar onto the two mounting blocks on the bbl, the net effect is that it dampened the bbl harmonics so much that the already very accurate rifle became a total beast of a tack driver. I was thinking about selling the balvar which I had kept in the box for years without using it but after that happened, I said, no effin way, lol. I have had similar results with other bbl mounted optics. Those old bastids were on to something me thinks! I compete in a local outlaw 22lr BR match on a regular basis. I was always a mid pack competitor at that time. It was open to any factory 22lr repeater rifle but limited to sandbag rests only. No bipods or mechanical rests. We had about 16 regular competitors at that time and shot year round using a outdoor lighted range and indoor benches. Our group included 3 former national champions and several others who could win on a given night. After I mounted the Balvar, I went on a run for several months of winning many if not most of those matches. Today fully half of the competitors are now shooting old Winchester 52's and many are using bbl mounted optics like Unertl, Redfield, Lyman, Fecker, etc. Good luck with your BalVar. Let us know how it shoots once you get it all sorted.

Gun shows are unfortunately jokes by and large these days. I used to like to go to them just to remind me of the days when I was a kid and dad would take me. Nowadays it is chalked full of beat up Ruger Americans with Barska scopes for $700. Get pissed, go to buy some beef jerky and even that dude is asking $3/oz. Anything you see there you can get 25-50% cheaper online.

The only satisfaction I get out of going to one now is crop dusting, and then stepping away to watch the other guys blamingly mean mug each other in disgust.

I only go when I'm taking a new owner with, to figure out what they actually want. After they finger fuck the one they like, I tell them where to go get a realistic price on it.
