Re: Turning F 16s into drones at Elgin

Yes, I am quite sure that the Air Force would fire on Americans if so ordered. Anyone who believes differently is dumber than a turkey. Maybe not all of them, but someone could be found who would do it to “save democracy”. Exactly. They're "white nationalist" terrorists. Or, closer to home, "insurrectionists". LOL, you guys better clue in Idaho shooter, he thinks the Air Force is turning F-16s into drones in case they can't find a pilot willing to drop the bombs on US citizens. Of course, that blows right by the fact that drones have pilots, so there's that, LOL. You just can not let it go, can you. Drones have pilots......yes today. Have you ever heard of Artificial Intelligence, and progress. It will not be long until drones are fully autonomous, if some are not already. That is the goal. Now, that you have been served your maximum allowable daily ration of education, I will only make note that humor is funniest when there is a kernel of truth in the joke. You have been shown the kernel here numerous times. When your audience is too dim to understand the joke, it will never be funny to him, no matter how many times it is explained. With that acknowledgement, I give up. Too funny. Say something really stupid and then pretend the guy who calls you out for it "just can't understand." AI can't reliably and safely drive a delivery truck on land and you think AI will be used to pilot an F-16 and drop ordnance sometime soon. That's hilarious. Are you predicting the future now?

Gotta love West ByGOD Virginia. Frontier less than ten air miles from the state capitol can't get the landline phone static free and our "high speed" internet is about 3.3 megs upload on a good day and sub three most days that it does actually work.

Re: Guess I got in the red dot game ..

The common problems people have, or often just fear having with red dots are pretty much negated by buying quality and mounting so the sights co-witness with the irons. Not really. Once you condition your brain to look for that dot, that's it. When the "balloon goes up," therefore, you will look for that dot and, not finding it, will keep looking till your conscious brain figures out something is wrong, which is a waste of vital seconds durig a life or death struggle. Realistically speaking, during a “life or death struggle” no sights will be needed. No need for the complexity of a red dot sight, then.

Re: .32 Goal Reached

As rare and unique as the old iron target 32s were and are, they take on a special place for those who appreciate them.
"Magnumitus" and manufacturing proclivities have left us with few 32s to latch on to.
Good to see some of the good ones get a few of the few.

Re: Biltong.....

Yes. After a thorough drying, 20 lbs of steak can fit in a quart jar. I bought several spiral hams from Costco on clearance thr other day. I'm going to freeze dry them in our harvest right and then seal them in mylar for food storage. They had them an extra $10 off per ham so I bought all the smaller ones that were normally $18-$20 for $8-$10 each. I think it'll be cheaper than buying cans of freeze dried meat for storage. I'm curious to see how it works. As soon as my strawberries and mango slices are done I'll try the hams. Should go good with all the beans we have stored. Bb

Re: 260 Rem or 7-08 Rem....Why would you pick one over the other?
HeavyDove
04/18/24
Mathman, as to why the 260 over the 6.5 creed, My thinking was that there is a small amount increased powder capacity.
And YES, I did find some 7-08 for $24.99 today online from PPU.....attractive but its not small rifle primed...
That said its not a big deciding factory just something to consider.
The Creed is ready from the gun box to the factory box of ammo to the range.....super easy button. BUT I like to tinker a bit so the 260 has its appeal and hell, all those 7mm bullets for the 7-08......Being a reloader has its Demons that smile.
A question came up about use.....hunting would be the use. I do not compete but against myself which is tough at times...LoL.
Best HeavyDove.

Re: Jag Handey's Deep Thoughts

Jag, question for you: What if Trump doesn't win the next election? Jag will say either 1) Trump did win the election, but he's keeping it a secret because [insert Jag delusion du jour here]; or he let them steal the election again because the Beautiful Pause - which was bigly yuge - wasn't enough so now Trump engineered a Magnificent Pause, and I mean its really something, you're going to love it it's so magnificent. You're going to love it. Keep in mind Jag thinks Trump did win the last election, and Biden was never sworn in. Three or more terms are ok because of the Vatican Corporation Act of Obelisk Sovereignty of 18 and 71 or something like that. Notice "71" backwards is "Jag is desperately nuts."

Re: Need info on my 15x Unertl Scope
RAS
04/18/24
RAS, Your Unertl is the Ultra Varmint model. This is distinguished from the target models by the shape of the ocular housing. Great scope. An old long range shooting friend used to say with an accurate rifle and one of these scopes, you could write your name! Excellent, thank you for the information.

Re: Ruger M77 Hawkeye SA Walmut Stock

I am not 100%, but didn’t MK II stocks only come with a black recoil pad? I thought they brought back the red pad with the Hawkeye. I have a MK II with a black pad and Hawkeye with the red pad as the OP’s picture. I’m far from any kind of expert but I believe you are correct. The Hawkeye checkering wraps around the bottom and I believe the MKII checkering is on the sides only, not on the underside. Thanks for your help SWGAshooter! Its a Hawkeye stock 100%. End of discussion!
