Who says the NSA or anyone else works for 'us?' The last 35+ years have sort of given that fairy tale a pretty good wringing out...

Just 'sayin.

*also, yes- sorry about your father, OP.

He will probably need Liver resection. The liver is the #1 organ for growing back though!

5-year overall survival without liver resection is only about 40%. With liver resection, the 5 year overall survival reaches up to 80%.

DO NOT lose an original Galil to obtain a clone of a bolt gun... especially if you already have an M24.

Sell the Galil and do the M40 and get a cheap AK to replace the Galil…. They do make stupid money!

Wishing I had bought a Galil and a Daewoo back in the day!

You gotta be ON IT...



Also- the kits that came in a while back gave many of us a chance to obtain even what was never imported:

If you think the CIA or NSA work for anyone but themselves, I've got some bad news. They do just enough good will work to keep the budgeted money flowing.

I bet there was a lot of shit in mustaches shortly after this photo was taken...

Yep as someone who has all 3, Id take the G3 or the Theos over the LRP all things being equal.

I love the toolless zero on the Theos, Vortex has the warranty and CS, so Id just decide based on what color you like best

So is it a coin flip or is there a winner by a nose? I’m actually trying to make a decision between the 3.

I have the Razor G3 and LRP S3.

If the price was equal, I'd buy the Razor G3 again before the LRP. But when you figure anywhere from $600 - 800 difference usually...the LRP starts to look a lot more appealing to me. Let's face it, these are options when someone wants close to an alpha optic without spending that kind of money. So budget needs to be considered.

Can't speak to the Element, but neither the Vortex or Zeiss is going to prevent you from being competitive at a match. They are both very good.

That's a scary ass dude- hitched himself up to Hillary and lost in 2016, $ided with Trump after that and couldn't get a freebie gig in the new Administration... word is that he wants to start a "Conservative version of The View" starring Himself, Deuce Bigalow, and Larry David/ RFK's wife.

He also seems to be much more of a newspaperman and financier than a medical professional these days.

Why is he faking it about the Vaccine?

...and why are all these con men coming out of South Africa now? Is it no longer safe to steal in South Africa?

Someone should get him to GITMO right away and find out what he's up to.

Not to be political/ serious on this thread but I think they were serious about it the last 2 years.

But it seems that the old guard of the dems (pelosi, Obama, Clooney etc), might have used up all their political capital this last ejection.

AOC and Newsom types are taking control of the party, and they aren’t going to let what happen to sanders happen again.

Ya. I'm sure the people actually running the party are gonna let a bar wench from new York be in charge.

I think its time to park the Lab and get a couple of the Garmin’s, a few of us have a project at hand where the down range data with the latest released technology using two units should work well.

The 22 bench rest match at PHA is the third Sat morning of the month. Then they will shoot again the following Thursday morning. You can check out the range web page for details, pha-range.com. The proper name for the place is Piedmont Handgunners Association, but they have rifle, SG, pistol, and a dedicated 22 range. They are located a little below the Lexington area, near I-85. The match is very laid back, with a lot of friendly people, and there is a class for you to shoot in, no matter how built, or factory your rifle is. They only charge $5 to shoot. Best deal in town. Get there early, as the benches fill up fast, and have a good 50 yd zero. Come on out. ETA, I shoot uspsa on that Sat, so I’m there on Thursdays. They also shoot BR at Riverside in Richfield on the 1st Saturday, and DPRC in Mebane has a more tactical style match, but I’m not sure of the weekend.

77tmk. Have shot matches with it and piled up plenty of coyotes. It’s a great bullet for both. Smk i would think is great also.

200 never opened
100 opened fired once
100 opened and maybe 50 fired once rest are new

Hi, I am new here. I recently got a left-handed t3x lite 300WM stainless steel. I would like to have it threaded. But the local gunsmith told me the barrel is too thin. Does anyone have any experience with any gunsmith that can do the same barrel other than buying a new barrel and installing it? I am willing to ship to any great gunsmith as well. My first goal is to thread it to patterns that can install muzzle brakes, such as silencerco ASR. I will be really appreciate if any of you can give me any advice. Thank you.

Long Rifles Inc in Sturgis SD did this for my factory barrel. It was a Tikka T3 lite stainless 300WSM. The problem is that those profile of barrels are too thin for there to be a shoulder behind the threads for a muzzle device to tighten up against. LRI machined a nut(which was like a thick washer with two flats). My muzzle device shouldered up against that nut. It worked great and I put maybe 500-1000 rounds down it. The muzzle device was a CB9.

Break out your dremel with the smallest engraving bit. There’s usually just enough room back at the shank where you can engrave a digit for reference.

Try smoothing out the fire cracking with Bore past. I think Litz did a video on it. That might be your problem

Will there be fire cracking on a barrel that new?

Someone needs to import the Praezise-Jagen products!

Even a screw knob would at least make the Annex picatinny mount QD.



Or maybe this kind of lever:



You can index them, they're like a small pod-loc.

Aside from the things that have been mentioned, when I've had trouble with a barrel fouling after a few dozen rounds it's been because of the powder. Either the powder I used was overly dirty or I wasn't getting the pressure up to where the powder burned most efficiently.

H1000 is viewed as a relatively clean powder. Is the load you're using on the low side?

Does anyone regret this type of move with an r700?

I know that sounds crazy, right. I have a r700 LA in a McMillan A5a, and I have this undying urge to change it.

I was just going to paint it; its molded in desert/sand camo from McM, i live in ME, we have no desert. I just can't bring myself to paint a molded in camo.

Always like the AI setups; still too poor for a $7k+ weapon system, when I've yet to acquire all the NV goodies. So I've been considering trading off, or just plain swapping out the McMillan to satisfy this itch.

Am I way off? Am I likely to see no change in the rifle, other than the look and maybe a folder? The rifle shoots great as is, so I'm not desperate for improvement there. Cost seems reasonably close to a McMillan or Manners setup; maybe slightly higher.

Go into settings, then camera settings, and enable rotation. For the ZCO, just back off the insert a bit so the zoom lever can rotate freely and it should work.
