Spent some time sledding in the backyard with my oldest son this morning. Good times.

got to take my monster sledding a week ago, when i was visiting my parents and hunting at their place and she loved it. tried taking her sledding a few years ago there over thanksgiving but the snow was too deep. good times.

[fishnbrah]

Trip canceled, they canceled the rest of the nights on the rental.

Looks like I'll be rotting instead of hunting this week.

that sucks.

I went to Tijuana once and paid 30 pesos to see that. Never again

Wait… did I miss a discussion on Tijuana donkey shows?

[kcuviello]

oooo this is actually a great deal...idk what to put it on though. https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-...c-reticle.html

Strike Eagle is cheap because it's cheap

[NuggzTheNinja]

Depends on location. I have buddies who have a favorite shop that they go to...I am a lot more nomadic in general so tend to prefer just ordering online to the closest FFL. I also am pretty much done buying guns at this point in my life.

[fishnbrah]

the only gun ive ever bought was off of backpage from a dude in a Scottsdale parking lot

edit: and one in a Chandler home depot parking lot

[Brozef]

i was wondering, does the USA have some type of relationship culture with your gun vendor?

here in switzerland it is quite common to keep a good relationship with your gun vendor, most of the times people have 1-2 dudes that they have a relationship with, and they always buy from them

for example, my boyo is some guy in geneva (french part of switzerland) and he always hooks me up.. when i wanna buy something i just text him the link of whatever store it was and tell him i am looking for this item

or i just ask him "hey do you have P220 9mm mags?" and he always delivers .. if you check online, you can find it for ca 60 bucks per magazine, he offers them for 45

they also often times throw in goodies when you order from them, last time my boyo threw in a pistol case and a 50 pack of bullets


is this sort of relationship dynamic common in the USA? seems like you're all just ordering online (Which is possible here too) but most people have a relationship going with 1-2 stores/vendors



if you are a bit better connected, you can find shooting ranges that officially dont even exist (like the pic i posted the other day shooting the USP)

I do most of my orders for firearm stuff online because gun shops absolutely suck around my home town. Especially for ammo. Piss ammo prices in stores here.

[criminal_manne]

interdasting, i guess since your country is much bigger, the relationship-dynamic only seems to work on smaller towns

the dude i go to that i have mentioned lives in geneva, that's like 2h30mins away lol

whenever i ask him for something, he can almost without fail get it for me for cheaper, dunno what type of deep underground connection he has but lol works for me
that's also how i got the USP - asked him if he can by any chance find it somewhere (could not find one online for 2months+ for a reasonable price), he found one the next day for me LMAO .. and the gun has a stamp from the city police of st.gallen (some city of switzerland, so it used to be a police officers gun)

das it boyos das it

Buying police trade-ins is pretty common here maybe it was something like that? Like when a department wants new guns they sell the old ones usually for a decent price.

Treating myself this season. I've always wanted a tack driver for deer and elk in Idaho. Bought a Christianson Arms Ridgeline 7mm mag and a Leupold VX5HD 4x20x52. Lots of bad reviews on the Christianson Arms but hoping I get a good one. My bro in law who has sniper training and does swat for the government loves his and has nothing bad to say. Seems like most people that give reviews on the interwebs have bad experiences and want to complain about. Kinda rolling the dice on this but we will see. The carbon wrapped barrel might be gimmicky but I wanted to try it out. I like the larger dia barrel and brake. I couldn't find a Mesa on sale in 7mm so went with the Ridgeline. Reason I'm sticking with a 7mm mag is I have a ton of ammo for it and have always shot a 7mm for hunting my entire life. The 300 wm was eyeing my hard though.

Currently using my 1984 Remington 700 7mm mag with a Vortex DiamondBack 3x9 scope that I have a total of $225 into.

Last straw was this year I would have filled a couple tags if I could shoot out to 500-700 yards. My current setup there was zero chance, with the new set up, I'll at least get to pull the trigger.

I'm hoping to get into more long range plinking and hunting, crossing my fingers this CA Ridgeline is the answer.

[Raxys]

Thanks for Lincoln, Papa.

"thats against the Geneva convention you summuva bitch"

damn thats money - was the optic about as much as the rifle?

[Berts]

It was a little less, I think $1350 ish, Rifle was $1750. I originally bought the Leupold VX6HD 3x18x44 but I realized is has an in scope electronic reticle level which is illegal in Idaho so I cancelled that and had to step down to the VX5HD. I know I over paid for the Ridgeline even on sale but fuk it. I haven't put any money into my hunting rifles ever. I bought my Remington 7mm when I was 14 for $125. I was due. Hopefully I don't have to spend money on a hunting rifle the rest of my life.

[spirit750]

I ordered, uh, a decent amount of stuff last week. So far Amazon and Joe Bob Outfitters are the only ones delivering today. Joe Bob is pretty solid.

[Meatie]

Sup ya powdered wig heads?

Ate 12 of these white chocolate coconut Ferrero Rocher candies. still got greesie quesadillas for din din. gonna be a bloated monday. das it

[FarmersSon]

There are some good gun shops in the area, I just live in the country and don't get in shopping regularly enough to get to know the guys behind the counter or catch the good deals. About all of my last several purchases have been online. I have a buddy that runs a side business with an FFL out of his house so when I see something I want I just have it shipped to him and he does that transfer for me at no cost.

Do any of you ambidextrous lower nerds know about PC’s?

Is this solid? I want to start PC gaming and maybe editing videos for YouTube because between our private range, and the guns we have we can make some cool chit and we are debating starting to film.

A surprisingly good piece by Vice.

12th gen intel is out already
https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i5...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

that ram looks slow af
I think the 12600k uses ddr5 now! huge reason to go 12th gen


that power supply may struggle with the gpu and intel cpu, intel just throws wattage at their cpus to compete with AMD
The most power efficient setup seems to be AMD cpu with nvidia gfx cards, but that's not a huge concern


500gb is not enough storage for anyone, especially content creators.

in all honestly, if you can get your hands on an rtx3070 then most of your work is done

Not the biggest fan of MSI motherboards, I prefer ASUS but plenty of people feel otherwise.

That's a pretty solid build.

I have built in that case before, too. It's pretty nice.

The 11700k is 8 core 16 thread which would help for video encoding time - depends on how much $ each costs. Also the next gen is just coming out, the 12600k is another 16 thread cpu and might be cheaper than the 11700k


You absolutely need to pick a different power supply, though. That line had issues catching on fire:

I've had good luck with Corsair and EVGA psus.

Ok. I updated the power supply to an 850w. Upgraded the Ram to 4000mhz but the 12th Gen chips aren’t an option.

This is through NZXT. Or maybe I just need to update the mother board to make the 12th Gen available let me see.

Make sure its not the 850 watt from Gigabyte, that chit is also fuked

Is this better with an AMD chip? Lose the option for that deepcool fan. I’d rather do air cooling for the simplicity but maybe it doesn’t matter.

AMD seems to have more issues when it comes to games, more crashing and other issues; not too sure why but it was especially bad with Cyberpunk when it first came out. I'd stick to Intel if possible.
