Picked her up this afternoon! Didn't have a chance to do some good photo's yet, but even the bad one's make it look pretty decent. I have to admit, it is even better than I expected. The stock is incredible in person. I think I need medium instead of high rings, but I'll see how it goes. Now to just get out and shoot it. The build specs are: Action: Stiller Precision 2500x RBLP Barrel: Shilen Ratchet .900 Stock: Lidgard in Paduak Trigger: Flavio Fare' Tuner: Harrell Scope: Sightron SIII 10-50x60mm Gunsmith: Richard Gorham Action Bedding: Tom Meredith Rest: Arnold Machine Killough Shooting Sports is where I bought all of the components and they did the ammo testing.6 points

Nothing that this asshat says any more surprises me. He shocks me at times with his pure audacity, but he doesn't surprise me with the content of his words.4 points

What about the comments about it being a dangerous weapon and how many of them are on the street? That seemed out of place to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk4 points

So, dislocated my shoulder earlier this week. I got lost in a bad part of town. There was a big group of thugs getting ready to attack this young woman. Well, of course I couldn't sit back and watch that happen, so I cleaned house. Then, while finding my way home I came across a grizzly bear getting ready to eat two small kids and I had to save them and dislocated my shoulder while pulling the bears teeth out. Well, at least that's the official story. The truth - the cat pissed me off. I threw a hand towel at him and my shoulder dislocated. Aging sucks - really it sucks!3 points

At his dog and pony show on gun control last night, Dear Leader accused Americans of being paranoid about government takeovers, as were our revolutionary founders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk9l3brCenI I can only paraphrase Patrick Henry's quote before the House of Burgesses in 1765 against Britain's abusive policies: "If this be treason [conspiracy], make the most of it."3 points

That gun sure would look good with a UTG scope on it. Maybe an NC Star red dot.3 points

Best laid plans always go to crap when bullets start flying. Do not overthink the scenarios, especially since they will change immediatly, you can be asleep, they can come in through windows, etc. A generic plan will work, get somewhere out of the line of fire, have a rally point and quick access to your gun. My family's plan is my wife grabs the baby and runs to the back closet with some guns and I get some guns and shoot homies in the face Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk3 points

It's good to war game and come up with a general reaction plan, but trying to get super specific is counterproductive. Just identify priorities of work and what primary role one serves; for example, I'm primarily responsible for physical defense, while my wife is responsible for securing and evacuating the children. A scenario may occur where those roles need to be reversed, but at least we have identified what the priorities are so we can focus on those no matter the circumstances. It isn't like a movie, and no plan survives first contact with the enemy. Just identify what the priorities are, who is generally responsible for what, and have an evacuation plan as well as a link up plan.3 points

No way I'd want/trust that. Theres been people modding AK triggers like that for years. It's reckless. The rifle ONLY needs to fire when pressed. Anything else is just dangerous.2 points

Taya was good, all the public speaking since her husbands murder has refined her talking style, and helps her come across very nicely. Firm, yet not in your face about it. But this woman stole the show in my opinion. She pretty much left the President with no room to do anything except move on, as he had no real answer. She had to endure the fear of every woman in America, and now has a family of her own to protect. Her story is exactly the reason, and her telling it makes a powerful case explaining why people need guns. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/08/meet-kimberly-corban-the-pro-gun-rape-survivor-who-challenged-obama-on-cnn/1 point

I would think 4 people attacking would be better than 1 person attacking and 3 moving to cover (which likely doesn't exist in your home). Women can and should attack just as you would. Even throwing the first thing they find in their hands into an attackers face would buy you time to draw and shoot. Remember that loosing a home invasion fight likely is worse for women than men. I don't have a daughter, but I'd much rather my son be murdered in a violent counter attack attempting to save his family than get raped and then get murdered without any opposition. Teach your kids to be vicious warriors and fight dirty. If the 15 year old can't help attack she should be on her phone to 911 as it is likely already glued to her hand while moving to a trauma kit. But that's just me. In the end it's your family and I think you are doing great just having a weaponized mind and keeping defensive tools in easy reach.1 point

The first thing is not making yourself a target - I am not talking about laying C Wire and Claymores around your house and going Walking Dead either. Be careful whom you talk to about what you do, dont let unkown people know your schedules, keep up your situational awareness - dont recognize a car, see a person snooping? Watch for it. It doesnt necessarily always warrant a 911 call but that is up to your discretion. Other things are a home security program - or even the sign. Illumination, motion detectors - obviously locking and latching what needs to be locked and latched. Assembly areas are good but you never know where the BG(s) are going to approach from - a good strongpoint would be somewhere defensible, easily accessible and provides good COVER - not concealment. A garage, storm room, attic, or if you can - get into a car or run to a retaining wall or fenceline. Range time! Practice makes perfect isnt just what your 6th grade coach said when you missed your free throws. Everyone capable of using a firearm should know how to employ it, clear malfunctions and shoot. You dont need some high speed training courses - getting used to your weapon systems, applying the fundamentals of trigger discipline, sight picture, point of aim, recoil management go a long way. You can be a CAG dude, SF, a ninja or some IDPA paragon but the second you start taking fire or get charged by an enemy - that high speed barrel roll Wanted spin shot you learned wont save the day - the fundamentals will. I have an assload of pistols and my daughter is only a month old, so stashing one in every room is okay for me to do. Hell some people go as far as carrying in their home. If some turds enter your home, most likely theyll either shoot you or charge you and try to gain the advantage - so a pistol is your best bet, sucks wrestling with a musket or shotgun which can be grabbed by some asshat hopped up on drugs. Drill a retreat plan, do it from different angles, do it on suprise - build that muscle memory, my wife and I do it every once in awhile to stay sharp. A go bag is helpful but if youre in the dining room you cant exactly run to your closet and call a timeout, with the tech age - hopefully someone has a phone so you can call the cops or your neighborhood pipe hitters. End of the day we plan and hope it never happens. Godspeed. ETA: some basic first aid or casualty care training wont hurt either. Sucks to get away to find out you or a loved one got shot in the adrenaline rush and now you have arterial bleeding and/or are going into shock Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk1 point

Robert, Looking at the most current forecast, the rain looks like it might just hold off until sometime in the afternoon. Reckon we can tell everybody to Shoot Fast and Beat the Rain!1 point

If you think 300 rounds is a large number in a single visit, then you haven't been to the range with a lot of TGOers. :) You'll be fine. If you were shooting north of a 1,000 between cleanings, then it might make a difference.1 point

Yep. Accident waiting to happen. Wait until a stressful situation occurs and all the years of learned muscle memory to let off the trigger kicks in and bam another round downrange whether you wanted to or not.1 point

I can shoot sub MOA groups with a sub MOA rifle and the correct ammo at 100m. That is a true test of the capabilities. A sub MOA rifle at 1000m though, I have roughly a 40% chance of getting a first round hit (based on history). This is due to varying winds over the course of a kilometer. There is absolutely no way to accurately account for it, which is why a spotter utilizes trace. I've been on a 1000m range, where the instructors popped smoke grenades every 200m. The wind was different at each distance, sometimes going the opposite direction as wind at different distances. The best one can do is make a call based on the mirage and guesstimate based on experience. But he'll never get it correct the first time; at least not often. The only way to judge the performance of a rifle at that distance is if you have a kilometer long vacuum.1 point

I'm almost positive after waiting all this time, I messed up! On the screen where you pick product type/model/etc and then at bottom you put "Trust Name" I didn't include the city and state! Edit: I was thinking nervously that the city and state that are engraved under my trust name were supposed to be in the Licensee/Permittee box along as part of my trust name. But the top of my trust states "The ##### Trust" but not city or state. I just checked with John Wells and he said I did it correctly WHEW!! Thanks for the help John!1 point

If you are going to carry a gun you need to be responsible. If you are going to carry where it is posted otherwise then you better not leave it unattended or at least not where someone can find it. If there are children in the building on a regular basis, as in the Department of Child Services, I think you would have to be even more cautious. There are probably some individuals working there as well that would love nothing more than to find a gun in someone's cubicle and see a gun owner get fired. This could have ended up much worse.1 point

Except hit the target harder... Can't deny physics. .30cal hits harder than 6.5mm all day long. Doesn't matter if it's just paper or steel though.1 point

haha I was wearing a UK t-shirt the day we closed on the house here in Tn. The previous owner couldn't wait to hand me the key to my new home. It was a BRIGHT ORANGE KEY WITH A "T" in the middle of it. He told me I wasn't getting in the house with being a Tennessee fan. :) I do have some UT stuff though, my family all lives in Sevierville, so they always give me UT stuff for Christmas trying to convert me. :)1 point

I'm wondering, if the victim in this case has submitted to the perpetrator, basically giving him what he wants/asks for and is seemingly out of immediate danger and having the opportunity to withdraw from the confrontation as he does, couldn't he be viewed as the aggressor when he chooses to reengage?1 point
