    So am I understanding this CA utility/fire problem correctly

    I agree with the OP's assessment. There is no doubt the state's leadership wants to make PGE a public, state owned utility. Where they can operate on public debt to bankroll their NON-SUSTAINABLE green energy initiatives. However I think the land grab is real agenda here...

    Do I need a Kestrel Meter?

    Understood, I still get my ballistics this way mostly. Gather data from kestrel2500, and input to phone. But he still needs a way to gather inputs, which is why he needs a kestrel weather meter of some type. In either case I would not rely on an iphone as my only ballistic computer for a SHTF...

    Do I need a Kestrel Meter?

    I won't comment on whether long range hunting is a viable prepping strategy, but for SHTF, you want a kestrel. The app's rely on cell service to gather environmental data, except for the ballistic ARC, but it still relies on your iphone.

    Do I need a Kestrel Meter?

    Most Important aspect of your ballistics solution is your inputs. A kestrel with built in ballistics simplifies aspect of doing the input. Without some type of weather meter to capture, barometric pressure and temp your kinda flying bind, and you won't ever be able to really true your rifle...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex precision matched ring issues

    This sounds odd. I use these rings on 3 or 4 rifles and never a problem. How do you know they rotated? If you suspect your scope is moving in the rings, paint a witness mark on the scope caps and scope to see if anything has moved after a shooting session.

    Best place for MK262?

    I’ve had great luck with the IMI 77 gr from my 18” Wilson combat bbl. Groups nicely and get over 2800fps. Picked up several cases a few years ago.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner

    Anything sold in last few years from authorized dealers should have updated turrets. You can tell by Steiner logo marked on new turrets. Old turrets don't have the logo.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner

    I've had my T5XI 3-15 for about 2 years now (with updated turrets), It's been through a tracking test and ran several matches on two different rifles with different calibers and performed flawlessly out to 1400 yards. I am quite confident in it's tracking. I really like how the turrets are...

    Cleaning muzzle brake...?

    I would not expect any finish on a brake, other than bare stainless or nitride to remain intact forever. It's just subjected to so much heat, pressure and carbon and copper fouling, that cleaning it effectively will certainly cause the finish to degrade to some degree. All mine are nitrided, I...

    Tl3 shouldered barrel slop

    I don't know what the ID threads of the TL3 should be, but the action being out of spec is extremely improbable. 1.055 is the diameter of a small shank savage, I would think you have enough bite on your threads. But I'm not an expert, hopefully one will chime in.

    Tl3 shouldered barrel slop

    PVA, CBI, Savage Factory bbls, all have been on my origin, all had about the same amount of slop as I recall.

    Tl3 shouldered barrel slop

    Yeah I didn't have that worry with mine. Maybe something is up with it then. Do you have calipers handy?

    Tl3 shouldered barrel slop

    My prefit bbl threads for my origin were looser than I would have liked/expected. Shoots great when torqued down though.

    I dont know thinking Trump makes more sense than Mattis...

    Few will recall that Mattis held a position on the board of Theranos, which turned out to quite possibly be the biggest scam of all time. Elizabeth made claims the company had secured pentagon contracts while he was on the board. He touted the ground breaking technology while wearing his...

    260 Ackley Improved Advice

    Sorry to be late to the party but figured I could offer some help sharing my experience. My .260 ackley bbl would close on virgin lapua .260 brass with minor resistance, just noticeable. Sounds like you have a bbl nut? If so, I would headspace it with a piece of factory .260 brass (pull the...
