Re: Do You Believe In God ?

Let me dumb it down for you…..try to follow closely…. No need, you are already as dumb as it gets. Seems you are again in full retreat…. Can’t back up your allegations….unable to participate in any sort of rational discussion.
Sorry you missed the point, guess I couldn’t dumb it down enough for you to either understand or offer any sort of thoughtful reply.
Meh… Bluff and Bluster. You are full of hot air, Bud. A conceited blowhard without substance. Not once have you attempted to deal with an issue without resorting to ad homs. I asked you to explain why we are told in the bible that God creates evil.....and what was your response? Just more handwaving and smokescreens. Let me try again…. Stick to the basic question…. Don’t try to change the subject or worm your way out of the question….and remember, this is in response to an allegation YOU made….. or have you forgotten? If can you accept that if one is presented with SOMETHING, that one can believe it is real and does actually exist without knowing HOW it came to be? Simple question.. We’re getting nothing but weasel words and avoidance for you. You made the allegation, not me….. as usual, you cannot back up another of your empty headed charges. But….go ahead and answer the question….what are you afraid of?

Re: Montana Rifle coming back

What are they thinking with the M-Lok rail on a wood stock?
On the other model that ugly metal paint job and gold pinky ring on the bolt handle is terrible. Maybe they called it the Highline because they sourced their design cues from a reservation pimp from Browning or Wolf Point.
Simply strange choices all around.
The Montana rifle made in Michigan is almost as bad as German Precision Optics made in China.
In future news, Montana Rifle Company goes out of business. Again.

Re: Twist Rate
szihn

Twist rate is a bit over hyped. I have made ARs with twists from 1-9" to 1-6.5". All barrels of very high quality shot extremely well and twist rate can't make up for lesser quality. For dedicated use of bullets from 70 grains and up, I'd probably go with a 1-8. But as of this writing my most accurate rifle firing 75 and 77 grain bullets has a 1-9" twist and does fine at all ranges. the old 1-12" and older 1-14" are too slow for very long bullets, but from 1-9 and faster you'll find little difference if all barrels are of high quality.
Remember the older Speer 70 grain semi-spitzers? I used a few thousand of them in an AR made in the 70s with a 1-12" and also a 22-250 with a 1-14 and they shot MOA in both rifles. Now that bullet is a semi-spitzer with a flat base to make it shorter then one of the long range bullets of today, but it's still not that short, AND it was designed to work in 1-12 and 1-14 twist rates. It did just fine. This is not to say twist rate is unimportant. I am simply saying it's not AS important as bore quality. If you actually use bullet from 65 to 75 grains in a good 1-9" you'll see the same thing I see. It's just fine. So is 1-8 and 1-7

Re: Unusual Accuracy
greydog

In a hunting rifle, accuracy is what really counts. Precision means nothing without accuracy, the ability to hit what’s aimed at, precisely where it needs to be hit, with the first shot or two. That being the goal, this TCR 83 Aristocrat in .30-06 proved meaningfully accurate in a somewhat surprising, meat promising way, with only two shots fired from a cold bore to check its zero: No more shots were fired from that rifle that day, as those two certainly seemed sufficient. The 18 rounds remaining in that box were saved for potentially more important targets. I always appreciate the folks who differentiate between precision and accuracy--bu the two major references on the English language, The Oxford English Dictionary for British English, and the various editions of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary for the American dialect, list “accuracy” and “precision” as synonyms, meaning exactly the same thing. The differentiation between precision and accuracy is a form of jargon--which the OED defines as "special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group." Exchipy shows a great example of accuracy vs. precision. Accuracy is hitting what you are aiming at, and he did that well. This is an example that demonstrates the difference between the 2: The guy showing a pic of a one hole group, but not hitting what he's aiming at, is a great example of "precision" of the rifle, because of the tight group. However, that's not the same thing as "accuracy". Trying to bend the words to suit ones own needs, is what's wrong with this f'd up world. Some of us tire of that woke kind of bs... Just as some of us tire of this sort of pedantic bull crap. GD

Re: New California tax coming?
Rock Chuck
03/23/24
These California folks should move to Oregon, Idaho and Montana... I be thinkin' WRONG! Each of those states ALREADY have enough California Transplants, who have already been working on turning the states into being just like the California they left, minus the big population and traffic jams. ^^^This^^^^ I strongly agree. Idaho is slowly turning blue because of them. They're here pushing for changes that we don't want. What they need to do is stay in CA and fight to change back to what made CA great in the 1st place.
