...sure they would rather not "artificially" feed you and your family with that attitude, sir. The world dies without farmers.

Trump is coming to the rescue, though, and "artificially" using government intervention into markets and "artificially" propping up farmers abroad, so America continues to win (just not some of the most important Americans who help feed 350 million people a day).

You missed the point entirely. Artificially propping up whatever industry they’re trying to get votes from (usually corn subsidies, but pretty much all of ‘em) eventually does two things: enriches the farmers getting the subsidies (I know many of them), and makes shit cost more.

I’m more of a classical Libertarian and Laissez Faire economist I suppose. Make Agriculture Grow on its own Again!

Edit: I’m with you on the foreign subsidies though…. Until we’re debt free, I want all this shit stopped.

I've seen some good Savages, had a Ruger American Ranch that was 2 MOA on a good day. Every Tikka I have been around outshot them all.

Honestly, I don't think they should do that. She's a lippy, over the hill, inconsequential little twat. Don't give the libs any ammo to cry "Orange Man taking our rights away". Just leave her be and ignore her. No one listens to her or takes her seriously anyway.

One way or the other, she won't be missed. Nothing but a yapping dog.

The riot in Dublin today, over the Arab molesting an 10yrold Irish Lass, I hope Rosie and her liberal friends get deported from the Republic.

I’d rather not artificially support ANY farmers…. Anywhere.

It's a dog/pony show designed to hurt regular Americans the most to make them beg/plead with their "elected representatives" to re-open the government at the same spending standard. These people are evil and they don't care about you because we haven't tarred/feathered people in long time.

Perfect example of fiscal responsibility of our tax dollars: Just a few days ago I was present in a meeting where some top UN/EU/US peeps promised $5,000,000 (I'd wager its majority US funded) to a remote shithole village somewhere in central africa/Congo basin area, because the men and male children are being slaughtered, women raped, crops burned, and livestock killed by land pirates ...... and need a school or something to fix the problem....and can't organically figure out how to defend themselves from roving bands of aforementioned land pirates because the government doesn't like regular people to own firearms. Horrific stories, but giving people food and a school ain't gonna do shit about fuck. The roving pirates need Vlad the Impaler treatment, but the home government is corrupt as fuck and cant find it's own dick with two hands and a flashlight. @MK20 has his personal experiences while in a different role in the general area and can corroborate. I digress.

The price of gold has nothing to do with this current shitshow. Its just yet another indicator of the coming financial collapse/reset which has been in the works since Trump’s 1st term and the Chy-Nuh Virus Scamdemic was basically the catalyst. Just my opinion/ $0.02.

I get it you are Africa Pissed, my oldest was the same way during two trips, generally speaking the rural people are nice and the city people and government are corrupt to the core. The UN is CORRUPT. I don't think we can help them until the rural people take up arms, the tribalism is way too strong. That was Ghana and not the Congo. I knew a guy who left Rhodesia, what a cluster fuck, they would fight the commies in the bush, go back to the farm, rinse repeat, division by zero, their Mother Country abandoned them.

Take a close look at the profile of the bullets.

The pictured 105 bthp is more of a tangent ogive and the Aeromatch is secant at the front then transitions to tangent. That's better than secant for a gas gun all the way .

The factory black series ammo had 105g bthp and it was a coal of 2.220 with a bto of 1.583

This is the crap that happens when you get a technical pubs writer instead of reloader to write your book.

American Beef prices are at an all time high because of the drought and the herd is at 1951 levels - WTF are you talking about?

No me neither, these Qs just sprang to mind. I don't know world history like a scholar might. I just have several decades of work trying to reconstruct events after the fact, figuring out who caused what. And I know from that work, each POV recited will have self-defending/self-protecting aspects, and other-blaming aspects within it. It isn't fun work because there's so much spin in the middle of it.

Domestically here, if you internet-research you will find lots of lefty sites glorifying the great revolution in RUS, singing its praises. From those folks you won't get any clarity on how communism and bolshevism and their cousins were liked, endorsed, whatever in GER in the 1930s and 40s. You can't get any sort of "global negative" attitudes about any marxism, socialism, leninism, communism from a lefty source. They're too busy talking like Communism is pre-ordained reality.

And any sympathies or empathies for an anti-Weimar, anti-communist, anti-bolshevik system within GER circa 1930s and 1940s, you will see derided as "Nazi" and that will end their discussion. Lack of curiosity? Lack of honesty?

but,but,but Trump says Jolani is a fine young man

As Doc Brown would say “you’re not thinking 4th dimensionally.” That thing could have been there since before the Airport.

And if it is detritus blown into a tree… Or, if it is a “tree stand.” This is Florida. Both statements can be true.

Does this mean that I am now required to buy a stacatto?

You will notice they intermix Puritan and Pilgrim, not the same, William Bradford was the political head of the Colony and a Puritan which also made rules for the Pilgrims during the Great Migration.

What if you need bifocals--I assume far on top and near on bottom (to to able to read turrets). Can the trivex lenses be ordered as bifocals?

Click to expand...

Yes, of course. I'm 70 years old and I've been wearing glasses for almost 60 years. I've had progressive bifocals for over 20 years. I ordered a pair of progressively bifocals with my exact prescription in Trivex and when they came in, I retired my still new polycarbonate prescription progressive bifocals.

I discovered that I can read finer print with my Trivex glasses than with my polycarbs, especially black print on white paper. (That's where you will experience the most CA). I can discern small artifacts on my smartphone better with the Trivex glasses.

If you have a strong prescription, say something greater that 3 diopters to correct, Trivex may jot work for you.

For me, Trivex made a sizable difference in my viewing experience. Colors pop more, life is not as dull. I enjoy great IQ from my Majesta with them on. As with everything, the novelty of seeing colors better will wear off, until you put your polycarbs back on. You will wonder how you put up with that crap for so long,
Trivex. Look it up. It's $30, for gosh sakes. It's definitely not going to be worse than your polycarbs.

Let’s cover the three (most common) standard configurations of the Legacy AICS, which were offered in both short and long action versions:

1.0 - Fixed stock, fixed cheek



1.5 - Fixed stock, adjustable cheek



2.0 - Folding stock, adjustable cheek





The more common later production Legacy AICS featured the same large square frame around a now hybrid bolt handle notch cutout (straight in the front for straight vertical handle bolts, but still swept in the back for standard R700 angled bolt handles - the “mullet” cutout) and now pinned and bonded frame segments instead of the original early production fully welded frame (although the vertical butt pad section remained welded to the horizontal section of the butt stock).




Common to all Legacy AICS versions is a single long rail slot and sling or bipod loop at the bottom, as well as an HK sling hook plate and bipod spigot block (flush initially, and then extended offered later on) at the tip of the forend.


On the other end of the chassis, the basic adjustments for length are made with a simple combination of a butt pad and different sized spacers, and adjustment for height via a plastic cheek piece with two steel rods secured by bolts (or thumbscrews for those that want to get fancy) tightened against the rods. Quick adjustable options were offered for both length and height, but that’s a topic for another day.


Folding stocks features a very robust hinge attached in the rear frame, secured by countersunk screws and bonding, with a separate male and female pieces folding catch mechanism.





That covers the basic of the Legacy AICS. Various factory and aftermarket options and accessories were offered, some of which can be covered later.
