There are chapters missing from the Bible, and there are things that were added to control the population. I don't believe God expects us to allow ourselves to be driven to extinction. You may disagree, and I'll respect your opinion, but while I am a Christian, I do not for one second believe that the bible is the infallible word of God, on it's 7th translation, version 6, translated by a king who's other great literary works included cataloging mythical demons and such.

I am sorry but your statements about the Bible show a lack of understanding of Bibliology, Canonicity, and textual criticism. The OT was written in Hebrew and Aramaic, the New Testament in Greek. Any translation is based of the original Hebrew and Greek texts, which we have many thousands of copies of. I am assuming you from a tradition that held strictly to the KJV, so that maybe part of your misunderstanding of Bible translations. Further, when you say entire chapters are missing and things added intentionally in order to control the population, can you please sight what chapters and concepts to which you are referring? If you are attempting to reference the differences of the apocryphal text between Catholic and Protestant Bibles, I think you have a profound misunderstanding about that whole subject. So please elaborate and reference what you mean because broad, unspecific claims with such reaching implications need to be specifically referenced.

Also the Nazis and Christian discussion (this is not directed to you Heouldgoalltheway): The entire question of how such evil was committed by seemingly common people has multiple levels to it, and my point is not to get into the anthropological, sociological, or physiological answers here. What I would like to address is the Church in German and its support for the Nazi party. The first issue is the Lutheran church in Germany was very much a church of the state. Just like Rome was, the Anglican Church was in England, and the Swiss reformed church under Huldrych Zwingli (go read some stories about that). The point is when the church is closely connected to the centers of power of the state, the state will leverage the institutional church to support their ends. This is what happened in Germany. So to say the Christians in Germany supported Nazism is kind of a misnomer, it was the institutional power of the church that backed the state. Buy not everyone supported this. Reading the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer helps illustrate all this.

I dunno but that’s got to be one of the best pieces of kit I’ve ever purchased!

Brentwood, PA? Suburb of Pittsburgh?

@alexj-12 I’ve been a user for 15 years (ok, I’ve been a lurker) and am trying to send PM’s but do not have the ability either. Apparently this is not an isolated issue, but maybe this will help…

Thanks

Oh no, just need to trim down a few, and figured to do a mod 3 vs mod 5.

So you’re going to keep shooting it anyway knowing full well it’s over pressure because you don’t want to throw away 700rd of junk ass ammo… you’re too damn dumb for you’re own good. Do you eat rotten leftovers out of your refrigerator because you don’t want to waste it? Or do you throw it in the trash?

That ammo is a hell of a lot cheaper than a blown up rifle or ER bill. Don’t expect any sympathy if you blow your shit up.

VERY strange results. Calibration didn’t work right and the bulk dispenser was not working correctly. Dumped it out, filled with Varget and it ran like a champ.

I am going to try it again when I have time and will take video. Maybe it just had some first time jitters.

Talking to Mr PP, it may have just been some static that builds up in the bubble wrap during shipping. Running powder through it can help with this, but you can always give all the parts a good rub down with a dryer sheet. They are treated with a graphite spray and all have powder run through them before they are shipped, but different environments can act differently. Generally they will "break in" as you use it and everything gets a good coat of graphite on it.

If that doesn't help, take a video of the bulk and trickle running and we'll see if we can offer some more suggestions.

Hitler was NOT this Christian fundamentalist that so many people make him out to be. Yeah, he was baptized, but that doesn't really mean anything due to him being a baby and having no choice in the matter. Under his rule he didn't exactly wanna abolish Christianity all together, but rather he wanted to defund it and let it die out on it's own. He saw organized religion as a distraction and unneeded. It's not uncommon at all for Socialist leaders like him to be secular or even atheist. Just look at Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, Kim Jong Un, or Fidel Castro.

Cause I have other hobbies

It will take a remington 700 long action mount that does NOT have 8-40 screws. Rings will correspond with scope and mount. No modification of rifle required.

The fanboi in me says “Don’t care which one”. My real answer would probably be an SB140 or SB160. I’ve also lusted after an ARC since I was in high school

The Yeti Sb140 has been an awesome upgrade from my 130.
I think you need to evaluate what you will be doing with the bike and from there choose the appropriate model. Jbell is seriously super human regardless of what he says so keep that in mind…..much respect.
I found a nearly flawless used 2024 XO build with carbon wheels….they are out there. Nearly 4K off retail. Not hating the AXS transmission now that I’ve got a few hundred miles on her. Pedal Harder!

You have to admit it. At least they are right up front with what they really are. Honesty might be the only virtue they have.

Me and most of my posse have ammo that's over 30yrs old ...... and it's perfect.
No one was insinuating that the age of the ammo had anything to do with the issues displayed.

That has nothing in to do with the discussion or my comment above.

Great scopes! I always kept one for if / when of my much more expensive scopes went down.

You know how to tell when someone is about to say some really unchristian shit? He starts with “I’m a Christian man…”

I have no doubt that “we” have said things just as morally repugnant about “them…”

For instance, there was a ton of horrific and cruel posts directed at the parents of the Sandy Hook parents.

Should be easy to pull up more examples in a search.

It’s not like “we” have come forth virtuous, with clean hands.

This is America.

So it's ok then?

I've, maybe not so oddly disagreed with every comment I've ever seen you make. You're a liberal trying to pass yourself off as something else. It's pretty obvious.

I mean, hell - Army Jerry was preaching “Buy More Ammo” 10 years ago. He wasn’t wrong.
