How about $389.99 before shipping without a mount... http://www.primaryarms.com/trijicon-mro-2-moa-adjustable-red-dot-matte/p/kt-mro-c-2200003/?kc=HOLIDAY&utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_content=SLOT_8&utm_campaign=15-12-Ad6_Cyber_Monday&_bta_tid=3.cFU.CLN2bQ.Ej74.Ar0-xw..A3vqWA.b..l.BStr.n...ndrtvA

Democrat Claims Paris Terrorists may Have got AKs from U.S.

Is this like how they (and Republicans) claimed that encryption was to blame for planning the attacks? -
When did ESPN get a political bend? I must have missed that. As to the financial aspect of it, ESPN's losing money from cord cutters, but they are also losing money because they spend like drunken sailors at a port of call. Almost $2 billion a year for Monday Night Football, which has had some really average at best games lately. Case in point, this weeks match-up between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. I don't even know how that looked good when the schedule was made, let alone now that both teams are in the bottom of the heap. They need some serious belt tightening, and I'd start by reducing the amount of on air "analysts" by no less than 50%. They have way too many talking heads on their air. Also, the $125 million revamp of the SportsCenter set was an absurdity.

There's also a bit of culture difference between the two countries.

This one that Primary Arms also had on sale? http://www.primaryarms.com/geissele-hi-speed-national-match-designated-marksman-rifle-dmr-small-pin/p/gaths-dmr/ Seems Geissele's are on sale at a lot of places. I was able to pick up a SD3G from PA for only $182...I was stoked. Spent the savings on a Raptor charging handle also on sale.

Set a speed minimum for the left lane barring weather conditions or accidents, I'm fine with that. Ticketing someone because they are doing the speed limit, not so much. I drive the speed limit, or at best 5-7mph over. If that's not fast enough for someone, I don't care. Taking I-24 from Murfreesboro to Nashville and back, I'm usually in the far left, or 2nd from the left lane depending on the flow of traffic, and big rigs on the road. I'd rather slow the flow of traffic down to the speed limit than have to deal with all the idiots who don't get to the right when they should, and need to cut across to make their exit.

This is one of those times the world doesn't make any sense. Probably some poor gal just working to provide for her family...horrible.

Can you explain how it's cooking and the directions? My friend saw that and got curious.

A cold day - perfect chance to heat up the boomstick at the range

If you're just looking for a place to dial in a long gun. test various ammo loads, or just get in some practice, Stones River is as good a place as any. I'll keep an eye out for the sweet gun on a green bipod when I go next time! -
Best wishes for everyone's Thanksgiving.

Been using Mechanix gloves since 2003 aside from being ordered to wear Nomex gloves on mission during my last deployment. It will take as good a product at as good a price to make me switch. I'm not seeing that from these gloves yet.

Beautiful gun. You might have just put another project on my "To Do List" if I ever get the funding for it. Stones River is where you shot it at, right? -
As I remember it, they pretty much had to fly straight through the Khowst-Gardez pass coming out of FOB Salerno, especially when they had stops was at COP Wilderness, a postage stamp size base in the middle of the road between Salerno and Gardez. Those S-92's the contractors flew did not give me much confidence if things went bad, but I was stuck on one on average once a week to get around the AO.
-
I'm honestly surprised those contractor birds haven't been shot down with some frequency. When I was in RC-East, I had to fly a lot and I remember looking out at the mountains as we flew through the passes in a slow and lumbering way that if the Taliban had any idea how to camouflage a few teams with RPK's that they could down one filled with US troops and contractors quite easily.

Hoepfully this can be soothed over...but given how thick skulled the Turks can be, and how intransagent Putin is, I doubt it. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/24/us-mideast-crisis-syria-turkey-idUSKBN0TD0IR20151124

Not sure if it really works for a helicopter...but it might make a decent call sign if we ever get a Marine Raider type unit back in action.

Regulatory oversight we can debate, but corporate taxes have been quite higher throughout history, and we did just fine. Then you can match the top rate against the top bracket amount by year. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=65 Can I blame Reaganomics yet?
-
On everything. If your country for corporate tax purposes isn't the US, you should need to pay to play. The US is the only country with a high population, and high income levels. If a business in another country wants to take advantage of that, we should make it worth our while.
-
Illegal, no. But there should be heavy tariffs enacted to put American companies first. You want to set up HQ overseas, it should cost you to keep access to our markets, and the well to do population therein. This problem is one associated with the free trade agenda, not our corporate tax rates.
-
It's a CYA thing, mixed in with the .gov never missing a chance to promote paranoia they have an exclusive market on "solving." You have far more to worry about from that assclown in front of you who insists on reclining their seat to get that awesome 2" lean for the entire flight than you do from terrorists.

If you watch football, you know that the Redskins are so consistently bad that they can't dismiss any idea out of hand. This one though, won't last too long before being rejected. Not for nothing, but those are all the names of the tribes or individuals, not a slang term for how those who oppressed them refereed to them. I'm not jumping on the social justice bandwagon for this issue, but I can see how there is a difference.

Howard Leight Impact Sport OD Electric Earmuff
btq96r replied to btq96r's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Little of both, with more towards the latter if I had to gauge it. The noise allowed in is adjustable, not just an off/on switch, so you can control how loud it gets. One thing I love them for is when I take people shooting for the first time. I make sure to turn them on so I can give them instructions and safety commands and have them hear it perfectly. -
As seen here: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T7QJ9O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 I know that these earmuffs are a very common piece of kit, and a more than a few of you will either have a pair, or know someone who does. So, why the review? Simple, I've had my pair for over five years, and they've held up fantastically, despite me being an idiot recently. Now, while I do rotate them with a Peltor 6s pair, my Howard Leight's have seen more than the expected use I thought I'd get out of them when I bought a pair in early 2010. I bought them for use while traveling between Iraq & Kuwait, brought them back home and have used them at the range countless times, and even loaned them to others for shooting, but their toughness was recently shown to me. I would have taken them to Afghanistan as well, but forgot to set them aside when movers packed up my apartment, so I had to get the Peltors to take there. But back to the Howard Leight's. I like to wear them with my earbuds on underneath while I mow the lawn. Well, a few weeks ago, I left them outside after forgetting them when putting my mower back in the storage closet outside of my house. Literally left them outside for a week an a half, and those of you in Middle Tennessee know we've seen plenty of rain and temperature changes. When I saw them out there, I thought for sure the electronic features of them were gone, and at best they were just another normal pair...I was wrong. They fired right up, and the noise reduction feature works just fine like before. These things can handle my whoops moment and still keep going. So, while I still use my Peltors as my primary range kit, my Howard Leight's have more than earned a place in my kit bag, and I wanted to share this in case anyone was wondering if they are worth the price. Your results may vary, but I'd give them the BTQ thumbs up.
