Yep, typo. I meant $110. My bad.
It’s not mine. But my buddy has good stuff.
It’s a custom shop VX III gloss. The one on GB is $1200.
It’s $1100

Russia brought in a number of Syrians with the promise of full Russian citizenship upon serving one year on the front lines in Ukraine.
They did the same with India promising good paying jobs that needed filling only to send those to the Ukraine front lines. India’s ambassador to Russia lodged formal complaints with the kremlin to no avail.

Re: .308 180 Accubonds for leopard

I'm going out on a limb here, but I will suggest that John Kingsley-Heath recommended the.243 because most of his clients could better put a .243 bullet in the right place than could be done with a hard-kicking magnum. Likely, but also a lesson on what is enough for the task. Don't forget that the tradition built around a 7x57 is based on being enough for the task and its shootability. Same with a .243 or .270 as recommended by Aagaard, whether its trendy on here to like one or not. "Enough for the task" is never an interesting topic compared to the ever mythical "best for the task" after all, what else would we talk about around the campfire? I gotta confine my remarks to what I've done or seen, and my "large game" at it's largest was a black bear that weighed about 350. I killed it with a 30-06 200NP. My brother, same trip killed an almost identical bear with a .243 100 Hornady. My brothers bear died almost where he shot it. Mine traveled maybe 75 yards Both our shots were placed very similarly, with mine maybe an inch or so back from where I'd intended. I was shaky from a bad dismount and getting my 16EE stuck in a stirrup. Hard to shoot when you're laughing... But... the fact remains, at least firmly in my mind, that the .243 with a good bullet (or fast .25) is a faster light switch than just about any standard .30 rifle, for game under about maybe 500 lbs. Granted that there may be .308 bullets made to offset that, but I doubt that any of those are 180s or heavier. Do I think that a .30 (or .32, .33. .35) is suitable? Yeah, no problem. I'd do it with what I had, and a .308 Winchester is one of the easy buttons in life. Go with any good load. I loaded 50 of those .30/200 noslers for that bear hunt and used 1 on that hunt. Shot the rest at coyotes, a couple of deer and one antelope over the next couple of seasons. They worked perfectly. And I get that some want a rifle just for African game and the "African" experience. I get it that the .243 Winchester doesn't work to that end. And there is some merit in carrying more rifle and bullet when in some locales. I didn't load the .30/200s in my 30-06 because I felt they were necessary for a black bear. We were hunting in an area known to harbor a grizzly population, and I didn't want to be unprepared. I actually felt a bit cheated that no grizzlies were seen on the trip. Don't know or communicate with any African PHs. If one of them recommends a rifle/cartridge combo I'd guess it's because, in his experience, it works.

Build back better. Might as well buy a horse. If you think dino fuel cars have bad exhaust emissions, backtrack 150 years when the prime movers had four legs and ran on alfalfa. Anybody else ever shoveled out a few stalls with a team of Clydesdales in them?

Unions back liberals as tribute ta prevent prosecution for the crimes they commit. Unions bribe Democrats to avoid being charged with Extorsion and Racketeering. Unions are nothing more that The Mafia with a high rise office in downtown Manhattan , wearing a silk suit.

Those cheering this on will have to explain themselves to the Lord one day. What about those they cheer the mistreatment of Jews. There are at least a dozen of you boys on here that have an unbridled hatred of Jews. Hawkeye, care to tell us why you have such hate for the jews, I don't care for them one way or another, but you are obsessed. You won't get an intellectually honest answer. Probably won't get an answer at all. Plenty of lightweights on this site will need to consult their Imams for the correct reply. Ha Ha Ha those goat rapers were dancing in the the streets on 9/11. Phug 'em in the heart. mike r

I’m pleased to see your logic has improved. 🤣😂 Congrats to buyer and seller; both two of the “good guys.” I sell one scope and bought another. I did sell one of my stockpile conquest to a good friend today. I’ve got some more scopes to sell! I swear, I have to quit even saying I’m gonna quit buying anything to do with hunting rifles🤦🏻♂️😂

It takes awhile for the Truth to come out, but in the end, Trump's track record on being right is amazing.
It might not be such a big deal if Trump was not Trump, but as the MSM attacks him at every turn and with every syllable, proving Trump right and the MSM wrong is indeed a big deal.

Anyone have an update on when the new company that bought Barrett will start making the FC again? Given the amount of world conflict and demand for military arms; I’ll guess sometime between not soon and never. But I’d love to be wrong in this case.
