The last thread got accidentally deleted while trying to clean-up some moron's inappropriate post. So, let's give this one a fighting chance:

- No naked crotch pics
- No Politics
- No religious stuff
- NO celebrity nudes, fake nudes, or uploaded nudes

If you're posting topless pics they need to be hot linked and hosted elsewhere. If you upload something that draws undue legal scrutiny to this site your post will be subject to removal and you can be banned from membership.

The Motivational Pic Thread is dead; Long Live the Motivational Pic Thread v2.0!!!

I switched to the AB Quantum app with the calypso mini AB and instantly have shot 10% better in PRS. It feels like switching from DOS to Windows 11. If you don’t already own a kestrel 5700 Elite ($769) you can buy the Calypso mini an ($315 Walmart) and pay $29.99 a year for the Quantum pro app.

What am I missing here?

I have a love of funny memes, videos and photos. Let’s let this thread focus on the funny without the nudity if that’s OK.

Hello,
I'm looking for a nice condition Accuracy International AW rifle, preferably folding stock model. Green skins, 26" .308. Shoot me a PM if you have one you're willing to sell. Thanks!

While it's not always clear, and port size is always a factor...

Where it seemed like the jumping off point for one's preferences in 5.56 is, it SEEMS like the starting point for the 6ARC is the next step up in gas length AND down one weight in the A5 system.

For example: where I would traditionally run an unsuppressed 18" rifle with an A5h2 in 5.56.... for a 6ARC 18" on a rifle +1 with an A5h1 (or 0) seems a parallel operational envelope.

Am I about in the ballpark?

Hello, so I own a thunderbeast 338 ultra RR model and I’d like to get a custom adapter made for it to accept end caps. Specifically the dead air pattern, now I know a reputable ffl that’s a silencer manufacture, more so small time and I’m having him make me an adapter for the ultra and some other adapters.
I asked about an end cap adapter and he said due to the design of it that would it be expensive. 1000$ plus because of how the brake is made, I asked if he could get the whole silencer in to measure the threads and taper but he said he wouldn’t be interested and to leave it at that. I get it, sounds like a lot of work and he’s busy just for one order.

I’m thinking if he gets 10+ orders he’d be more interested.
It would be grade 5 titanium with a wrench interface of some kind. Preferably made so that the end cap and the brake can both be on at the same time. What I mean is, you put the adapter on and leave it on and remove the brake as you want off of this adapter. So if you remove the brake, you’re still left with a flat end cap. Benefits being better performance on smaller calibers and better performance when you have the brake off and just have a flat cap.

Price wise, I’m thinking it would be 200-300 per unit. Maybe a bit more, I don’t like the idea of exposed threads so maybe also add a thread protector when the brake is off? I’d like to come back to him with a solid 10 orders, preferably 15+. If interested please send me a DM so I can get a list of people that are interested. again, only if you are 100% wanting this, no flakes I don’t want to waste the guys time.
I’ve never set up a group buy before but I’m thinking everyone will get their own invoice from the manufacturer.

Once seen as a taboo word in American politics, socialism has experienced a notable resurgence, especially among young voters. Polls show that more than half of millennials and Gen Zers now view socialism favorably. Politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have transformed what was once a fringe ideology into a highly popular political movement.

Even more troubling, they’ve achieved this not through real policy solutions but by promoting a utopian fantasy rooted in grievance, entitlement, and historical ignorance.


Image via ChatGPT
Socialism is a system of “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” No truly socialist society has achieved a level of plenty or freedom comparable to America.

A Cato/YouGov survey conducted in March found that “62 percent of American adults under 30 say they hold favorable views of socialism.” Rasmussen Reports observed a similar sentiment this past May, with 50% of voters under 30 indicating they want a democratic socialist to win the next presidential election.
Why are so many young Americans falling for it?



To be clear, this movement isn’t rooted in careful study of history or economics. It’s fueled by emotion rather than reason. It thrives because too many young people have been raised to believe that discomfort equals injustice and that government is the answer to every problem.
Today’s young adults have grown up in a culture that promotes victimhood instead of resilience. From K-12 schools to college campuses, they have been taught that life is unfair, that capitalism is oppressive, and others—corporations, the wealthy, or “the system”—cause their struggles.




They’re told that if they can’t afford a house, it’s due to capitalism. If they have student debt, it’s because they’ve been “exploited.” If they feel anxious or unfulfilled, it must be because of inequality or climate change. In this worldview, personal responsibility is an afterthought, and government redistribution is viewed as the ultimate solution.
Enter socialism, stage left.



It’s no coincidence that today’s youth know more about TikTok trends than about the gulags of the Soviet Union or the starvation in Mao’s China. Schools have stopped teaching the harsh truths about socialism’s brutal legacy. Instead, they focus on sanitized stories about “equity,” “social justice,” and “collective good,” often blending them with moral superiority and “safe spaces” for those who are easily offended.
This isn’t just a failure of the education system; it’s a deliberate ideological project. Young people aren’t truly being educated. Instead, they’re being indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is the problem, not the answer.
Critics often point out economic issues like increasing student debt, rising housing costs, and stagnant wages as failures of capitalism. However, the irony is that many of these problems are actually made worse by government interference, not market forces.
A few generations ago, few, if any, students graduated with significant educational debt. A middle-class family lived in a home, had two cars, a stay-at-home mom, and could pay the bills as well as save.
The federal government subsidized student loans and drove up tuition costs. Local governments limit housing through zoning and regulations. Inflation? Blame the government’s focus on spending and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies.
Capitalism didn’t fail. It was undermined by bureaucrats, regulators, and central planners. Now, the same group that caused the problems claims they will fix them by increasing their own power. That’s not progress; it’s a power grab.
As we see with Big Pharma, the government creates the problem and then sells the cure, except that the solution is often worse than the original problem.
One of the left’s favorite tactics is pointing to countries like Sweden and Denmark as “proof” that socialism works. However, these countries are not socialist. They have capitalist economies with high taxes and generous welfare systems, supported by a strong work ethic, homogeneous populations, and increasingly strict immigration controls, factors the American left would never endorse.
In Denmark, the top marginal income tax rate is 55%. Additionally, there is a 25% VAT on nearly all goods and services. The high taxes on income and spending support generous welfare benefits, maternity leave, subsidized housing, and more.
Try replicating that model here, with our open borders, declining labor participation, and cultural fragmentation, and you’ll end up with Venezuela or Cuba, not Stockholm or Helsinki.
What’s most concerning is that socialism is no longer viewed as a radical idea. It has been rebranded and marketed to young people as kind, fair, and compassionate. But socialism, even in its “democratic” form, is fundamentally coercive. It expands government power, limits economic freedom, and suppresses dissent. History shows where it ultimately leads - shortages, stagnation, and government surveillance.
New York City could soon resemble Havana if residents elect Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor. Mamdani campaigned on a platform that included a “$30 minimum wage, tax hikes on businesses and the rich, and other policies like creating city-owned grocery stores and imposing a rent freeze for stabilized tenants.”
The left isn’t giving young people independence. It’s offering dependence with a smile—a life where the government pays your bills but also controls your future. Or as the World Economic Forum promises, “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”
The solution isn’t to shout, “communism bad” and walk away. It’s to engage, educate, and expose the lie. Conservatives must explain, clearly and confidently, why capitalism is the most moral and effective system ever devised. It rewards merit, encourages innovation, and protects freedom.
We also need to stop surrendering the culture war. This involves reforming education, fighting ideological bias in the media and universities, and encouraging young Americans to see themselves not as victims of the system, but as capable individuals responsible for their own future.
America’s future is at risk. Only 36% of Democrats feel extremely or very proud to be American, down from 80% a decade ago. Among young Americans, the Gen Zers, only 24% are proud to be American, compared to 32% who have little or no pride.
In contrast, 92% of Republicans are proud to be American, a number slightly higher than it was ten years ago.
Nature abhors a vacuum. When half the country hates America, they will gladly embrace something very un-American, namely, socialism.
Socialism flourishes when honesty is absent. Our duty is to speak the truth openly and confidently. Because if we don’t, we could soon live in a country where freedom isn’t the norm but the exception.

Just from talking to him and I knew he was solid!

I am a newly certified LEO sniper. when going through my basic class i found that the scope on my rifle will shift as much as 3 MOA when changing power setting. given that this is a major issue i am trying to select a new optic to try and convince my agency to purchase. we are a mid sized department so our budget does not have a ton of extra space. i am looking for recommendations for quality, rugged, rifle scopes at a decent price. the rifle is a remington 700 AAC SD in .308. i am currently considering scopes in 3-15 or 4-16 power range but all input is welcome. we are probably looking to spend less then $1000 but that would be at agency pricing which is often as much at 40% off. so looking sub $2000.

is anyone using "lighter" projectiles in their 6.5 CM bolt guns? I'm looking at 95gr v-max and maybe some of the 100's from Hornady for coyotes at 500 and closer. I've got a few pounds of IMR 4895 and the Hodgden load data indicates that it's a good powder for lighter projectiles.

On a completely different note, anybody tried the Hornady 130 ELD M's?

Thanks in advance and God bless America.

Had LRI build this a few years back. Mounted a Zeiss 6-36 on it, did some load development on it, then never shot it again. The barrel's a stainless cut rifled K&P in the standard Remington 700 Varmint contour, and the actions a stainless 700 SA. They blueprinted the action, timed the bolt handle, installed dual ejectors, M16 style extractor, and enlarged the scope base holes to 8-40. The trigger's a single stage Triggertech special set at around 1lbs. It has a steel 20moa base on it along with an Erik Cortina precision bolt shroud. Had the local cerakoter coat the entire gun. I then bought a custom HS Precision stock, and had a reputable smith glass bed it.
While working up a load, I used Alpha brass, federal srp's, Varget and Berger's 140 grain hybrids, it would never shoot over .75" no matter what charge weight went in. The load it liked was 37.3 grains. When I found that, I then moved on to the other guns in my fleet and kind of never came back to it. It has around 250 rnds through the pipe. To shoot this I took it off the wall, put in a hard case, took it to the bench, back in the hard case, and back on the wall and that's how it lived.
Now the possible 'con'; I feel personally, the gun feeds better with the blind magazine box seated tight in the receiver rather than just hangin out, which it does. The smith that bedded it told me this is how they were made, with some play in them. Your mileage may vary. And lastly, when the receiver was being faced to true it up, they took a little more off the receiver than normal, which makes the recoil lug sit about 7 thou further back in the stock than factory, so if you want to switch stocks on this rifle, you'll have to shave a tad off of the rear wall of the receiver pocket to make it fit. Shouldn't be a big deal for someone that screws with guns a lot.

I have 3000 dollars in this rifle. Asking 1900 shipped or, trade for a Kahles or S&B 6-36 scope (with a good reticle for me). (rifle & base only, the scope and rings arent for sale)

Selling my decent condition (about 200 rnds on it) Lantac Match BCG in .308 bolt face. It's NiB coated, part number LA00300. 352 New, selling for 165 shipped, no trades. I love this bcg, but I dont like the silver look; I will be switching to black.

Bought a complete 27 kit GP unit from SureShot NV and promptly had Jay do a full WP conversion. Jay's work is outstanding and warranty is the same. Tube is super clean and about 2300 FOM. Come with soft and hard cases as well as all the goodies that come in the PVS-27 kit. L3 filmless WP tube.
9200.00 shipped over night in its hard case. pics coming.
