How about specifically name some of the good things they've done.

Remember now, if this is a constitutionally protected freedom the fighting needs to be in court not the legislatures. All that accomplishes is to keep a crisis atmosphere (and the money grubbing) going. Legislation cannot alter the constitution.

"Trucking", as in Over The Road long haul, is in an extended cyclical low. Volume is still good, but the Covidiocy induced high of the cycle caused as much as 30% capacity being added -- way too much. That capacity is now being squeezed out.

Drivers with good records are still doing ok, but if you have a marginal record, OTR jobs are difficult to impossible to find, and yes, trucks are sitting more and rates are doo-doo for the most part.

It wasn't what we expected and two years later what have they done?

LOL the ukrop phaagut pops in

Geez. RFK died 13 months before Chappaquiddick.

PICTURES ADDED TO LISTING, and pictures sent to all that have requested them ! Thanks for your interest !!! 24" barrel length...I don't think the Academy/Wamart guns had Timney triggers...LOL!

I think the exaggerations were honest mistakes. The claims were made before affordable chronographs were available.

I sold off my Epps P14 years ago because of feed issues. I could load one or two Epps cartridges before it would fail to feed. It was easier to get my No4s to feed, but even then, they could only take two or three cartridges. It always worked best if you loaded a std 303 British case in the magazine first and then two Epps cartridges on top. I tried playing with the followers, but it was a pain.

This isn't the best picture, but when I was experimenting with loads, many of my rifles shot H4350 the best. I could manage about 190 fps faster than std 303 velocities, but the cases didn't like it, even though they were improved.

They're all like this. Good friend had the engine go out in his Chevy pickup in December. Was late July until the dealer replaced it!

Looking for a 20 tac barrel in contender or bolt action please help

. These are patches for poor engineering. Drop a piece off the coat hanger and then what. Watched the neighbor fight that battle!

That's simply not true, when the rifle is put together with a suppressor in mind.
When building with the end goal of using a suppressor, the entire package can be made a similar length to a 23-24" normal rifle and balance properly. It just takes some planning, not only with barrel length, but stock weight as well as scope and mounts to counterbalance the can. The big thing is not screwing a can onto a normal length rifle, as that absolutely does destroy the handling characteristics.

To the OP, skip ER Shaw if they won't go shorter than 18". Find a smith that will build on a 16-17" barrel. The can will work fine with a shorter barrel in the 375 because of the expansion ratio - the muzzle pressure is a lot lower than the "magnums" the can companies are worried about when they talk about minimum barrel lengths.
Whatever you do, stay with a light barrel contour. Too many smiths (and rifle manufacturers) build 375s on overly heavy barrel contours. Since you're looking at a Rem 700, stick with something like the Rem mag sporter contour used on the factory 7RM.

I suspect it is coming. I was watching “Clarkson’s Farm” and he got some cows. They had to tag the cow’s and the calves and then call in and register them with a government agency. Every cow was accounted for and the calves had to be matched with the cows. So, they are already doing it in England I guess.

You might consider getting the ONX app. It defines land owner boundaries and public land in a manner conducive to finding great spots, trails and backroads. It definitely helps find the roads and routes less travelled. That sounds like a great escape.

Joe, I know what you mean... I'm a 34-year Ford Dealer Dual path Senior Master Tech, and being that way have always been mechanically/fabricator inclined...and as such, I am fascinated with our past-modern era forefathers' abilities to make some of our mechanical marvels from steam locomotives and aircraft, to firearm barrels/parts, and especially manual/automatic transmission and the like, without CAD. The thinking and fabrication they used, is not anything like current times, and may never be seen again in my opinion.

These car maker/dealerships are clever. Been getting numerous recall notices for both my Hondas and my Toyota for some bullshit little plastic parts, etc. (seat belt retainer clip, and so-on so-forth)

Their goal is to get you to bring your car in, have a 25 cent part replaced, and in the meantime they run a bullshit scan on your vehicle and find scores of things needing attention, then hard sell their services.

No dealerships work on my vehicles, they are money hungry crooks.

I was a NRA member for many years but stopped supporting them and corrupt ways a while back. I now support the GOA and will never support the NRA until the entire board is replaced. They have done nothing to deserve your support. Try the GOA because they are actually trying.

Guess that shows I've been out of it for awhile! LOL!
.....and I live in farm country! Cattle, wheat and cotton prevail around here.

I can remember when the big, articulated 9600 JD tractors were $110k to $120k depending on accessories.
Guy up north of me farms a creek bottom. His big John Deere has triple tires all around. I understand that farmers don't go through tractor tires like NASCAR racers do, but what do those tires cost now? A thousand? Fifteen hundred? ...or more?
I can't imagine trying to replace all those tires at once! 🤯

It is a bit hard to comprehend for alot of folks who worked for an hourly wage all their lives, but a farmer mostly gets paid once a year! When he sells his main "crop"!
THAT paycheck must cover expenses to start the process for next year, plus living expenses for the family!

😁

there are some treasures wonder what the prices are.

Thanks guys for keeping them coming if anyone wants to sell a 20tac barrel pm me since I have all the reloading stuff on hand !

I believe that a 18” barrel with a 6” titanium suppressor would as handy as a 24” barreled rifle, would be much quieter and kick less.
Inch for inch the titanium suppressor vs steel barrel…
