Israel/iran

FFS...are you really that stupid? I know you are really that much of an ignorant bigot. But are you so stupid as to not understand that after posting about friendly fire incident by Israel (in fucking 1967 and motivated by your bigotry) why I posted a link to a HUGE list of friendly fire incidents by pretty much all countries in pretty much all reasonably modern wars.

GTFO

If you're talking about the USS Liberty, that was unequivocally a deliberate act by Israel.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Ukraine was handed an out at recent negotiations. Instead they want to continue this shit not realizing the ME takes precedence.
When you are using other people's money and you aren't on the front lines it's easy to be the tough guy.
He is living large, his bank account is swelling and it's other people getting dead. Until Trump got elected he was everyone's darling. They could parade him around and put on the pity party for money. Now the money laundry has been cut off he's still thinking that he's all that and a bag of chips. He should have paid attention to history and realized what happens when the USA is done using someone. It's not even ancient history. Just the last forty to fifty years.

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

If you really study threads like this it quickly becomes apparent what the true situation is. Bias, money, personal relationships and sponsorship drive it. One person is a “fan” of the inventor, one has personal “favorite” manufacturer, one might be getting kickback in one way or another and the next might be “sponsored” by one company or another. I think the average hunter, plinker or competitor is usually a little more candid and up front. Once you’re schmoozing with sponsors or afraid to alienate one, impartiality can out the window. There’s no reason the average person should be afraid to simply say, “I was shooting a Nightforce (or whatever brand) and decided to try the new March or whatever. I can only assume that if you are, then you’re afraid you might lose something or offend the wrong person or entity. Just my opinion.
I miss declarative sentences.

“My focus is on selling Company X’s product, not comparing it to others. Therefore I won’t share my opinions regarding comparisons.”

Or…

“At present I am loyal to Company X for Reason Y. Since I want to ensure I can switch company loyalties if it is advantageous for me to do so, I shall refrain from comparisons as I don’t want to anger companies that I might court in the future.”

Or…

“I grew up on Company X’s product and while I know there is better out there I am satisfied with what I have.”

Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

Last weekend was pretty good. Saturday shot one that spun in the tall grass I couldn't recover and another who was at a full speed run. Didn't find that one until Sunday morning and I'm pretty sure he is part hippopotamus, so full speed run is relative.

Here he is next to another from Sunday morning:

After those three I set up an ambush for one off these rocks. They look stable but they really weren't and I didn't have a shooting bag. There was loose footing and barbed wire I got all cut up on.

The one I was waiting for didn't show up but another pair did and I shot the female in the heart region at 440 yards. He ran a ways but then stopped to see where his wife was and I got him through the base of the ear at 550 yards.

That afternoon while gopher hunting in another field I saw this one and got him. First one of three from that field that had nice fur. Well the fur that didn't fly off anyways. Looks like a pillow exploded when I hit him.

So six for the weekend if I include the one who went down in the tall grass.

Was also asked to knock off some beavers from this pond. Not really sure how to recover them though as I don't have a raft or boat.

Ya buddy! A killer for sure! Love seeing you pile up the coyotes.

Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

My buddy and I killed 15 one night earlier this year between 2 ponds that together didn't occupy 2 acres. The ones that were killed on land were still laying there, but I think of the remaining 11 or so that were shot in the water, the landowner found maybe 1 or 2 the following day. We have all of the shots on video, so there's no question that they were hit and killed, but they all sunk.

Yeh so I got the medium bridge, but unsure if I want to cut it that far back now as all my barrels are 18”+. Decisions decisions.

Hear ya. Still cogitating on what barrel I’m going with.

The 277 Hybrid in the shorter barrel makes a ton of sense with an expected 3,000fps out of 16” or so. Problem is, I have no idea how consistent the ammo SD is.

The easiest way we have found to get at beaver is while they’re building up the dam at night with thermal, or the occasional lucky head shot during the day.

Minnesota politicians shot by someone impersonating police officer

Here's the thing. In America, the war of ideas is supposed to be fought with ballots, not bullets. Once we lose that, we lose everything else. Demonizing Americans who have different ideas than you do only adds energy to those who want us to fail. Cheering on the murder of your fellow Americans is beyond the pale. Political violence has no place in America; that's it, full stop. If you disagree with that you can fuck off.
Tell that to the Lefties; >99% of the violence is coming from that side.

And I get it… you’re where I was 4 or so years ago, but we’re on the precipice, and far past the time for playing nice. We’re clearly nowhere near an actual civil war yet, but the left is pushing us that way as hard as they can.

Suppressors Form 4 wait time

Interesting….that sounds like a good plan for maximum flexibility. I’ve put everything in two custom trusts up to this point (pre and post 41F) but have been wondering if the SS single shot trust approvals are quicker than custom trusts I.e. individual<single shot trust<custom trust
I don’t know about faster, trusts seem to take a bit longer than individual but really it’s all a crap shoot as far as timing. The last 20ish I’ve done have been all over the place from the shortest being 30ish hours to the longest being 3 weeks. All of them on SS single shot trusts.

It comes down to whatever examiner pulls them out of the hat that day. It really makes no sense at all.
