Oops, forgot to mention that Manners did say the stocks with no lightening cut were part of their first production run. They added the lightening cut in subsequent runs.

Excellent

For the last 10 years I was a hardcore tree reticle guy. Recently I decided that it's probably a detriment to most shooters. There are some clear advantages to running a non tree reticle.

Unless you are in combat where time is life or death it's probably better to go with a well designed simple reticle with .2 hashes so you can make corrections. Dial for elevation and hold windage ( or dial it too). Some of the best long range practical shooters in the world run a simple reticle like the JTAC and a tree is not needed. I think for most shooters, the tree just gets in the way, effects and distracts from the target and is rarely every used as designed. Being able to spot your shot easier is much more important than having the tree. Pay 4 to 5 grand for the best glass money can buy than clutter half your view with a bunch of shit you don't need.... No thanks.

My 3 favorite reticles at the moment are the JTAC in a Tangent Theta, MPCT1x in ZCO and the PR3 from Leupold.

I think you will see as the shooter gets better they need the tree less. It will get to a point where the tree has little value, and what little it does have is either not needed or not worth the tradeoff.

I feel most trees are way too wide. No one is holding 6 mils of wind with 9 mils of elevation and it puts the numbers almost out of view. You have to shift your focus to the side when you're using the bottom half to make sure you're on the right elevation mark.

That's a non-issue with all three reticles you use as the numbers are all close to center and the JTAC makes every 0.2 mil hashmark per mil unique. I like that.

UPR 20” 6.5 CM owner here. I had a KRG and sold it. The UPR is exactly what I want in a hunting stock. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the Bravo. Great palm swell, adjustable cheek piece and fore end that feels more like a traditional hunting rifle stock. The fore end is relatively skinny but flat so it rest well.

I'm curious what that rifle actually weighs with a bipod? Seems like it'd be a dandy little rifle for something like either the Factory or Open Light class in NRL Hunter?

I’m not an advocate of chasing pressure to try to eek out marginal gains in performance.

I quickly learned to look at load manuals and find powders that generated top-end velocities, but with lower pressures. Let the powder do the work rather than trying to get brave on the bench.

Maybe that’s why I’ve never broken a Grendel bolt, but have velocities that are higher than factory ammo as a general rule, but 2500-5000psi less than SAAMI MAP.

Normally you can get the beam dimensions from the mfg. At 100 yards, take a sheet of cardboard and cut some holes to a bit over the beam size. For example, the Vector IV is 2 mil x 2mil, so cut a 7.5" square opening. if you center the reticle on that, you should range the target beyond it. If you get the cardboard, move the reticle around until you shoot through the hole. Now you know where the beam is in relation to the reticle.

The dimensions are 1.5x0.06 mil so it's a wide but very vertically thin beam I guess. Surprised it's smaller than anything by Vector as the 6K is much closer to entry level and a smaller beam seems more desirable.

I will try making a cutout slightly larger than 15x6mm and ranging at 100 meters, thanks for the suggestion. I can even mark the reticle hold point on the target after and have a great visual reference.

Is the beam divergence given in the specs usually pretty spot on?

These are very well bult scopes along the lines of the rest of the Toric line. If you do not need day bright illumination, it is a very good option.
For ARs, it has more eyerelief than I would prefer, which result in narrower FOV (relatively speaking), but beyond that I do not have anything negative to say. It is a very well balanced design with good eeybox and good image quality.

New Report: Joe Biden Left Grieving Families Waiting for Three Hours Prior to Dignified Transfer of Kabul Bombing Victims — While He Napped on the Plane | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

A new report reveals shocking details about President Biden's actions during a solemn moment for grieving families, leaving them waiting for hours. Discover the full story behind this controversial incident.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

The Kabul Airport victims – made possible by the unapologetic Biden-Harris regime.
Joe Biden met with the families of the fallen US service members killed by a suicide bomber at Kabul Airport during their dignified transfer at Dover airbase.
During the ceremony, Joe Biden famously checked the time on his watch before the bodies were brought out.
Because of Joe Biden’s incompetence, 13 US service members were killed in a suicide blast in Kabul by a terrorist who was released from Bagram prison weeks earlier.
Biden would not allow any media present while he met with the gold star families.
Joe Biden met the pregnant widow of one of the fallen Marines and it didn’t go well, according to the Washington Post.
20-year-old Rylee McCollum was a Marine from Bondurant, Wyoming, and only three weeks into his first deployment when he was killed in the Kabul blast.
McCollum graduated high school two years ago and was three weeks away from becoming a father.
McCollum’s grief-stricken mother went off on Joe Biden and blamed him for her son’s death.
But now we know there is more to the story.
The grieving families accuse Joe Biden of napping for three hours before meeting with the families.
Now they are speaking out.
The Daily Mail reported:

On August 26, a Taliban suicide bomber capitalized on the busy crowds, killing 13 US Servicemembers and over 170 Afghans.
While Biden was absent from the withdrawal planning, he did show up to greet the caskets of the US Servicemen and woman who were killed, infamously checking his watch on the tarmac before their coffins were brought out.
It was his second insult to their families that day, according to the sister of Rylee McCollum, one of the men who died.
‘(Biden) made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our dead family members because he couldn’t pull it together,’ Roice McCollum told DailyMail.com.
Roice said she and others were waiting for Biden to appear when a military officer told her he was napping on his plane.
Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee, and Darin Hoover, the father of Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, who were also killed in the Kabul blast, told DailyMail.com that their families were also left waiting on the tarmac.
‘We sat in that office for what seemed like an eternity waiting on the doddering old fool,’ Hoover recalled.

Oh, no no no. I will be trying to introduce my kids to the table game first. If they get into it we’ll start going ham, then maybe we will start branching out to others. I’m sure as shit not going to drop $2k and whatever time needed to paint the figures then tell my wife I’m going to some rando’s house to play a board game

Son of Guiliman, how does The Codex advise my next steps?

I haven't played in a very long time but your going to need at least two armies for the kiddos. I'd say your looking at $500 per kid at a bare minimum. Figure two to three infantry squads and maybe a vehicle or two (don't forget the rule sets for each faction and that they change regularly). Then you are going to need paints and assorted paraphernalia. A gaming table (start with a 4x8 and be prepared to go to 4x16) and scenery can be made from scratch fairly affordably.

You could see if any local game stores host tournaments (either 40K or whatever Fantasy turned into) and go watch a tournament round or two and check out the painted miniatures to see if they might be interested.

Trump Warns He Will Take Back the Panama Canal Unless They Stop 'Ripping Off' America and Start Countering China's Influence | The Gateway Pundit | by Ben Kew

Donald Trump has warned that he could seize back the Panama Canal unless they agree to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Donald Trump has warned that the United States could seize back the Panama Canal unless the country agrees to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.
In a post on Truth Social, the incoming president urged the Panamanian government to start taking care of the canal or face the consequences.
He wrote:

The United States has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood. We would and will NEVER let it fall into the wrong hands! It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama.
If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question. To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!

Trump later followed up with another post explaining its role preserving America’s economic and national security:

The Panama Canal is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America’s Economy and National Security. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. Commerce, and rapid deployment of the Navy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and drastically cuts shipping times to U.S. ports.
The United States is the Number One user of the Canal, with over 70 percent of all transits heading to, or from, U.S. ports. Considered one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago, and was built at HUGE cost to the United States in lives and treasure – 38,000 American men died from infected mosquitos in the jungles during construction.
Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its building, and understood the strength of Naval Power and Trade. When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else.
It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and corporations, doing business within our Country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage. Our Navy and Commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way.
The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S. This complete “rip-off” of our Country will immediately stop….

Panamanian officials have yet to respond to Trump’s warning, although it will be taken extremely seriously given the outsized role in plays in the country’s economy.
During his first term in office, Trump met with former Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela where he mentioned America’s involvement in the canal’s construction.
“The Panama Canal is doing quite well,” Trump remarked during the meeting. “I think we did a good job building it, right?”
“Yeah. One hundred years ago,” said Valera, to which Trump responded: “We did a very good job.”
