Handsome Rob

Amazon, $60 1-4 ffp crapper..... You still got me by a good bit!

Nice! Man, i thought I'd done well a couple of years ago, putting a scoped .300blk together for under $400!

I'm noticing a trend. Did mid length gas systems only come into existence recently? Loooooots of exposed barrels going on........

From my experience (non immigrant alien) If there's any slight complication, TICS tends to deny/delay an application. Generally, if you reapply 30 days later (& there are no prohibitive circumstances) your application will go through. It's happened to me twice now. No flat out denial, just a delay. I've never had to file an appeal, but if you've been actually denied, there's an appeal process you'll have to go through to clear up any issues. Occasionally, you be assigned a delayed status but the dealer will tell you it's a denial.

Man, I thought this was the coolest rifle ever built..... Now it makes my eyes hurt.

I couldn't honestly say. Mine started to flake within a year, so I stripped it down to bare aluminum & its been unsettled at since!

Favorite rifle: Henry H001. I don't have the history that most folk here do, but I bought the gun in 2009 when i first moved here & I lost my round a long time ago. I'd rough estimate 200k+ I've recently acquired am old Marlin model 25 &so far it's amazing. Smooth, accurate, fun to shoot & deadly on bottle caps! Pistol: I'm really digging this new Ruger Wrangler, but the finest I ever owned was a Ruger Standard (pre-mark) I regret selling that one hard.......

Me too!

Don't shoot strings. Make sure the barrel is cold between shots. That's....... that's pretty much it for prolonging throat life. Other than that, watch your accuracy. If you're 'average hunting' accurate you'll probably never notice throat erosion. If you can legitimately shoot benchrest, 1/4moa groups, you'll notice your groups start to open within probably 1000rnds in a RUM. However, I can't imagine shooting 1000+ rounds from a .300 ultra mag in a lifetime. Outside of a Weatherby mag & .300PRC, I don't think the are many common calibers that hurt more to shoot than a RUM in a standard stock.

My business is on my property & as always I'm cranking out 80+ hour weeks. Thankfully, kennels were deemed essential, along with animal welfare & agriculture so I've managed to stay fully staffed, even though the boarding business is all but dead right now. Jules & I are prioritizing staff wages above ourselves & it's costing me about $100/day out of my own pocket to keep them going. Luckily I have enough put aside that I can keep this up for a couple of months if needed. I've been to the grocery store twice, I think, since mid March. We stocked up hard on business essentials (dog/ horse feed, bleach & disinfectant) as soon as it all went nuts. Other than that & the bank, which I can't avoid, I've not been off property.

I'm afraid not Chuck. I'm still on a non- immigrant Visa, so none of that applies to me. It'll be some time yet before I can get a chance of status.

FlySouth in Nashville, if I'm nearby. My go to is a little local store in Tullahoma; Tim's Flies & Lies. I also keep tails from deer I've shot, neck capes from some of my surplus roosters & I kept a 6"×6" patch of elk skin this past fall.

One of the better Sig Kilos is almost impossible to beat.

Follow through. It's more important than people think......

*cough-cough*...... yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what I was getting at.... honest. Also, find me one other Rob in this thread. Does it hurt you that people might actually think I'm handsome? This is why we can't have children. You are SOOOO jealous. I don't know why I put up with you. I should've listened to my mother....

YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN WHORE MOUTH!!! That was the first compliment I've had in 10 years!

I can't remember if it was Tom Hardy or Jason Statham that played Handsome Rob, but either way.... I'll take it!

I'm sooooooo changing my name to Handsome Rob right now....

Sorry to be crude, but a bmg is just a dick extension.

What do you consider long range? I regularly shoot 1250 with a 6.5x55 Swede, chambered in a modern Savage. 50bmg, 416, 375 cheytac & similar 'long range' chamberings are fun, but essentially useless. If you just want to clonk steel at 800+, and I hate myself for saying this, the 6.5cm is kinda hard to beat, value for money wise. It's not the best, but it's a damn good start. If I had to start again right now, I'd be looking reeeeal hard at a 6.5prc

Footage just coming through from Mount Juliet Absolutely devastating news & tough to look at. I really hope everyone's ok. If anyone needs any cleanup help, I've got a truck, trailer, chainsaw & all tomorrow off work.

You think you'll get a tax break on 3 grand?

I read the topic & my first thought was: "I dunno man, .22 seems a little light. You'll get much better penetration with a 9mm, unless the muzzle's touching her temple. Wouldn't divorce be simpler?"

Srsly....ish asking: does anyone in the zoomy crew actually know how to operate an actual hand-held firearm? Because my experiences dealing with the Royal Airforce would suggest no. HAAAARD no. If it's not laser guided, painted & pre-targeted, they ain't gonna hit it. The airfarce bods I had to cope with couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, let alone a 'man at 200yds'
