    Died Suddenly Documentary World Is Live On Rumble

    No one - including me - is waxing a story that I had to do anything. Given the factors and the presumption of losing my job over getting the vaccine, I made the choice - and take responsibility for the choice, of doing things this way. Someone with a different view could also have made the...

    Died Suddenly Documentary World Is Live On Rumble

    There is so much amazing truth and disgusting misinformation and conspiracy crap in this one thread, its like a microcosm of the internet.... That said. On the vaccine stuff, I will observe first hand: Work made me get shots. 1) Required of anyone to have office access. 2) Required of anyone...

    Rifle Recommendation New To Long Distance Shooting

    1) Beware your local gun shop hero. 95% of those guys have never landed anything at 1100 yards. Listen (maybe even respectfully), and then do some thinking about what you hear and where it came from. 2) You have some great advice throughout this forum. I was super active when I first joined...

    Starlink - What a long, strange trip it’s been…

    Varies by area. I am JUST close enough to a federally designated "metro area" (Greeley, CO) that we dont get rural broadband dollars. Literally one more town 4 miles up the road has federally subsidized fiber! Gah. Terrestrial wireless I did before starlink has limitations in the tech right...

    Starlink - What a long, strange trip it’s been…

    I've been ok but generally unimpressed with Starlink. Lower latency but the reliability hasn't been great either in semi-rural high plains Colorado. Available bandwidth varies greatly. As I write this at the start of the business day, I am getting 94 down and 24 mbps up. That uplink is way...

    Prayer Request Thread

    If you could pray for my friend and brother in Christ, Jeremy. His wife delivered a still born full term today. It's devastating. Only a parent who has been through losing a child understands this pain. Sadly my wife and I have and we are ministering to our friends as best we can. Pray for...

    Seconded... Related question: Are precision levels high enough that any of the above and/or something like Silencerco's ASR compatible brake, etc.... you would have zero concerns about any of these adding inconsistency to your shooting platform? E.g. you wouldnt choose the Area 419 over a...

    Gunsmith Recommendations for Tikka Upgrade

    How much of the "4k rifle" was LRI? You give LRI a factory drop and they take a 1.25 or 1.0 MOA rifle and make it a 5/8 rifle in the hands of your friend the "competent shooter" - to me that seems pretty reasonable. There aren't a lot of 4k rifles that shoot quarter MOA. There aren't a lot of...

    Begara quality

    Feel like this isn't just guns, either. Through and after COVID its like people stopped caring about what they do. "They" don't care about how they treat people, they stopped taking pride in work, you have the great resignation, and even right now there are 1.77 jobs in the US right now for...

    Picking up a 300WM and questioning the S20

    Thank you everyone for your input. The majority voted for "something else you dolt" and indeed that's the direction I ended up with. Through this thread I ended up getting connected with another 'hide member with a long history here who had a forlorn and lonely Bergara premier that would let...

    Biden busted his ass, again.

    I really feel bad for Joe Biden, actually. I hate his politics but I would be livid if some political party pressured my grandpa with dementia into being president because they thought he had the polling numbers to win. The guy is clearly having elderly issues and can barely get through a...

    Picking up a 300WM and questioning the S20

    My most favored rifle right now is my Tikka T3 CTR in .308. It's a tack driver and does what I need it to do. Let the record show, my wife finally said yes to a(nother) rifle buy, and the guys on the 'hide tried to tell me I don't need one.... More seriously, fair advice. I'd still like to...

    Maggie’s Things I learned from a decade-plus on the 'Hide

    I was thinking this morning after making a quick profile update, I've had my 'hide account longer than my kids. In the time I've been a member of the 'hide - active or just lurking - I've built 3 houses, sold 2, and had 3 kids, 5 dogs, 9 cats, 49 chickens, 4 turkeys, and 11 ducks - and more...

    Picking up a 300WM and questioning the S20

    It's funny that you recommend that - my very first rifle after lurking on the 'hide oh so many years ago was a Remington 700 5R. At the time I did some competitive handgun and was interested in getting into distance shooting and eventually maybe 3-gun competition. Until kids anyway :) That...
