Kayla Giles conviction overturned!!!

The shitty surveillance video backs up her story - you can see her enter her vehicle, door closes, the husband (amateur MMA fighter) jerks it open, then falls back a second later. I don't know shit about their relationship, but her statements line up with her self-defense claim. The daughter's testimony changed at the trial, but what do you expect when you're asking an 11-year-old about something that happened when she was 7, and especially when she spent those last 4 years in the custody of the family of the deceased. If you're involved in a bitter divorce/custody dispute, it's probably wise to record all your interactions.

Fuck USCCA. After hearing about this incident and going through the fine print of US Law Shield policy, I don't trust any service that is backed by an insurance company. Your conversations aren't bound by attorney-client privilege (until you're assigned a lawyer), and at the end of the day if they choose not to represent you, it's up to you to take them to civil court. Have fun doing that when you're also fighting a murder charge. In the Giles case, the prosecution actually used the fact that she called USCCA after the shooting against her in court.

I switched over to Attorneys For Freedom - can't say enough good things about them. Hope I never need em, but it's more peace of mind knowing exactly who's going to represent me if I ever do.

Rifle Scopes Deciding on deer rifle optic

Recommends the steamiest turd Vortex has ever made. Literally the most garbage zero shifting piece of shit out there. While at the same time bashing Leupold which has some of the most solid scopes being used successfully at field matches all over the country.

But hey tell us more about what gear actually works.

I'd say most here would put Leupold and Vortex on the same level, Mid tier. Both have issues with zero retention on mid priced models and both make decent scopes on the top end.

In the $1,000 range there are problems. Had several Leupold scopes that wouldn't track or hold zero, same with Vortex in the same price range.

Other good deal besides MPA builds

Well, ended up grabbing this deal on the PX. Not sure which barrel I'll keep!


Also, lol im an idiot and am definitely getting spammers messaging me about payment. I shouldn't have put that in the ad, but I didnt want to miss grabbing the deal publicly.

Ill report back once I get it out and shoot it! Thanks for all the suggestions.
Make sure that you report all the scammers using report button.

PRS-Here I come! Follow my progress. UPDATED!

Thread has been stagnant for a bit but figured I would shed some light in here. Was able to bring home my first piece of hardware yesterday at Fossil Pointe out in Decatur. Was a super solid day and honestly I am not sure what clicked yesterday but it honestly just felt effortless. Dope was lined up perfectly all day, had some switchy 10-15mph gust catch me off guard mid stage but was able to correct well on the clock. dropped 9 shots on the day just 4 behind the winner. Also first match with this new JK can ( I am calling it the poor mans Maverik since you can adjust the length by adding/removing baffles ) with the RecoilX brake, bought the can last Saturday and it got approved Wednesday so I only had 2 days at home to shoot it at 50 yards but it worked great at the match. This is a huge confidence boost going into the 2 day Scorcher match here in a couple weeks in Little Rock. Hope to see some of you guys out there!
CONGRATS!

Iran go boom

been said elsewhere that there is at least 1 potential downside for all this. ie everyone in ME will consider getting nuc capability,esp since Israel is known to have them. that seems quite likely. Saudi can sure afford it and i doubt the US would actively stop it. Egypt would prob like to but they are broke. the oildoms could afford it but would they go there? the 4 countries we regime changed aren't capable. Jordan,Morocco,Algeria,Lebanon? Hamas,ISIS,Taliban,Hezbollah? something to think about.

Springfield Waypoint—an owner's story of disappointment and abject failure

You came here to see an "abject failure."
A rifle with a broken firing pin and a blown-up rifle are equally useful when you are days of hiking into the backcountry and see an animal you have tags for. I titled the thread "abject failure," and that's exactly what a busted-off firing pin is. If you don't consider that failure "catastrophic" given the circumstances this rifle is intended to be used for, we just have different standards for what we'll accept out of our hunting rifles.
You're being obtuse. Catastrophic means that the process of the part failing caused other parts to be damaged or fail, or the shooter to become injured.

This wasn't catastrophic, it was a pretty basic mechanical failure, isolated solely to the failing part, and why a lot of guys take second firing pins on hunts with them. Waypoints suck, ok, big surprise. There are 100 various Rem 700 clones floating around the market right now? I can't really imagine what would entice me to take Springfield's version over Bergara, Seekins, etc, at this point.
