    Rifle Scopes When does the step up to "Precision" rings start making a difference?

    Damn looks like the ARC rings have crazy good reviews everywhere.. I'll keep my eye out for a black friday sale or a used pair. I still have 3 weeks until I can pick the rifle up from my FFL, so I have a little time.

    Rifle Scopes When does the step up to "Precision" rings start making a difference?

    The rifle was $750 but yes debating about $26 haha Regardless... Would love to hear from people with actual experience in these rings.

    Rifle Scopes When does the step up to "Precision" rings start making a difference?

    I'll keep this short: I'm building my first medium/long distance rifle. Picked up a Ashbury M700 6.5CM when they were on sale a few weeks ago. Will be using a Vortex Viper G2 5-25 EBR-2D. Now I have to decide on rings. 1) Vortex Pro series rings, $54 (new) 2) Vortex Precision Matched Rings...

    Movie Theater Jack Ryan season 2

    Really enjoyed this season! I always plan on spreading out the episodes over a few weeks but ended up watching it all in 3 days haha. I really enjoy that it's like an 8 hour movie. That SWCC guys needs to follow orders though!

    Anyone have an AAFES discount code they aren't using?

    I'm only getting the NEX flyer currently. Never really thought of signing up for an AAFES account, but looks like they have some great deals going on. Made an account last night but definitely won't get a flyer in time for this iPad sale. Send me a PM if you have anything. Thanks in advance!

    An Explanation of Assault Rifles

    This was a marketing joke... They actually said “EASY DO-IT-YOURSELF HOME CONVERSION REQUIRES ONLY FLAT BLADE SCREWDRIVER, TIG WELDER, DRILL PRESS AND 5-AXIS CNC MACHINE.” :LOL:

    Now That's a Turn .... USS Gerald Ford Sea Trials

    This is what a lot of us did.. there was an endless supply of Tazo tea bags. I just had an electric kettle in my office that I would use to make the teas. The "awake" tea has A LOT of caffeine!

    Now That's a Turn .... USS Gerald Ford Sea Trials

    You were in the ball! Just realized that Charleston wasn't even around before 1998 lol. Good stuff though. Ballston Spa has been shut down for a while now. Apparently everything was held together with duct tape and super glue haha. I have a friend that is starting power school right now and...

    Now That's a Turn .... USS Gerald Ford Sea Trials

    I was on the Reagan (CVN76) from 2005-2010... The food was actually really good for us basic enlisted folks. The aft mess served regular hot meals. Steak and chicken were pretty common. There was a salad bar. Breakfast was standard sausage, eggs, bacon. There was a cold cereal/fruit bar up...

    Now That's a Turn .... USS Gerald Ford Sea Trials

    AH SHIT officer on deck! :) Although it would have been cool to skim across the water at 40+ kts with that kind of power, we weren't there. I was a nuke MM and spent countless hours staring at the Westinghouse data plates on the turbines. Pretty sure the exact number on the HP was 54,235...

    Now That's a Turn .... USS Gerald Ford Sea Trials

    True.. all combined was right over 250,00HP not accounting for losses. We (CVN76) actually ran at full power wayyyyyy too much and basically doubled our expected fuel use. Pushing 97,000 tons around the globe at 32kts takes its toll haha.

    Now That's a Turn .... USS Gerald Ford Sea Trials

    The other end of the shaft is connected to a set of reduction gears. ;) The turbine connected to those gears is pretty impressive though. The ones we had were rated and right around 54,000 horsepower. My first day in there, I thought the main condenser inlet valve was the actual condenser...
