There's stuck and then there is ARMY stuck... Oh, and you can't park there...

Well, the phone hasn’t stopped blowing up over the last week or so, so I decided to ignore it and head to the range. And after all the doom and gloom, what better to take than the rifle that started it all, the original RAVAGE.

As some here may remember, this is the very first of my 40X Repeater Conversions used to test the magazines. Funny thing though, I can’t remember ever trying out the newer aluminum mags in it.

Anyway, it still hammers. First two shots to check dope at 100, then a three shot group.

Stop for a moment and have fun guys, something tells me things will work out just fine.

Out of curiosity, did you or someone you know shoot the rifle and zero both before and after the modification to the mount you describe above? I am curious how much elevation change this modification induces. My thoughts are it should shift POI up significantly, just not sure how far.

Update, scope functions properly now as far as I can tell. Under better lighting magnification it appears the cell was flush with the objective housing when parallax free at 300yds. Also under magnification it appear the focus ring was coming to a stop just short of contact with the objective tube itself. After cleaning the threads and applying some fresh antiseize, it now sits all the way flush to the scope. I apologize, with the antiseize/grease on all the components these tiny differences (a few thousandths of an inch) were hard to tell and I incorrectly read them. Scope now locks the objective cell firmly against the focus ring properly and presents the proper parallax free image at desired range. Thank you @Skunk for helping me work through this.

They had to take 3 completed planes back. Who bought them? Who bought the ones on the line nearing completion?

couple of airlines out of Asia, Air India in particular.

You know I posted this on Reddit too and I didn't even get that question...I was somewhat disappointed. The answer is I don't know, I don't eat Skittles, now I can crush some M&M's and based on that experience I'd have to think I can get at least at good handful of M&M's in there or two Snickers minis.

If only Kamala had won.........................................we wouldn't have to worry about the Orange man being bad. We could have our 300,000 criminals a month flooding the border. Our rampant printing of nearly worthless dollars would be going unabated. Everyone in elected office would still be pocketing billions of dollars in Ukrainian graft. China would be buying hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland near every military base in America and sending 30,000 troops across the border every year to arm up and get ready.


Orange man........................................................................he bad.

Dude I've been trying to get a hat for 4 years and I'm on my 4th and soon to be 5th ZCO. Maybe I need take Nick hostage at the next match and ransom him for one.

You are not getting them from me, or else I would have probably made it happen by now.
I'd just ask for a few extra during Shot Show if they have them still.

I pay less for Hornady, and I expect less because of it. Sometimes I get great results, and sometimes I'll see more variation than others for sure. If I were paying Berger prices it would irritate me...but I'm $0.15 - 0.25 less per bullet.

As someone who recreationally shoots 250 - 650 yards 99% of the time, this isn't a hindrance...but it does get a touch frustrating at times to have a CBTO variation of .005 or more.

Bonus that the ELD-M has been a critter slayer for me lately...so I just look at them like a thin-skinned hunting bullet. Probably wouldn't try to compete in an F-Class match with them though.

I've carried a 1911 of some variety (full size, commander...etc.) in .45 since I've been old enough to own my own handguns. I'd say about 15 years ago I switched to 9mm and just recently have gone to the 2011 in 9mm. On hotter days when covering garments are minimal, I'll carry a Sig P365.

Weakness? You are the one that claims your family was fucked by the Russians and they invaded your country and are slowly marching across the land taking everything. Now is your chance to right all that but Nope "I served my tour" is your response. The only weakness is you. When they are at your doorstep you'll bend the knee and kiss the ring. Then get on the Internet and spew the same bullshit you are spreading here. While real men would do everything in their power to fight for freedom. You claim that you are patriotic and yet you sit in your basement pounding the keyboard.
Shut the fuck up and man up.

Yes, the inletting work was performed here. The only thing we don't do here (when it comes to stock work) is make them. -Composites, anyway, wood is no problem.

I have blank T5A stocks on the shelf. These are "out of the mold" blanks. We handle all the paint/finish work here.

Just to be clear: The agreement I have with Manners stocks is that we never sell one in the unfinished condition. It won't leave here without a coat of paint.

Happy to help.

Pics are of the 2014 SHC trophy rifle we donated. It doesn't seem like 11 years ago. Time goes too quick these days.

Well damn, this is going to get expensive for me.

The big question is "How many skittles does it hold?"

If it comes to it, I figure I can just throw a handful of Tula on the ground and the scavenger panic should be enough to allow for an escape...

this is your answer. When spending this much money do you want adequate? Or better for sure?
