Misc Firearms Crew LXXIX: Tax Stamps, Background Checks, and Mag Caps

[gbullock32]

I had a chance to buy a gun chambered in .338 lapua from a indian friend, he was just asking too much for it. He wanted around 16k for the rifle, optic, case and some ammo. Looking back at it I should have talked him down and seen what the lowest I could have got him too

This was it

I am interested in the Ruger Precision Rifle, thing is beautiful. Problem is, I'm just not that into long range, so it would be a waste of money and safe space. Glad I went cheap with my Savage 110 in 6.5 CM to see how into range shooting I am. Worth it for the $500 and it's fun to shoot from time to time, but that's likely the limit on what I'd spend for it.

The Ruger is around the $2k+ range, than another $1k+ for a good optic, so not something I'm too hard up to go for now.

[criminal_manne]

no.

Wow, spoiler alert bud!

[GooBaaa]

What was it, I must know what kinda gun and scope Combo got to 16k used

https://www.eurooptic.com/BARRETT-MR...Military-.aspx

With a US optics glass on it

It wasn't used either the guy got some huge settlement awhile back and dropped huge money on guns but his accident messed him so now he shakes and he had to unload all his guns

I bought my FAL, M1A1 and Daweoo off him

[gbullock32]

Is there no time limit on that test ? Seems like it would be super easy as long as your optic was zeroed if you could take as much time as you wanted.

We use a Mini 14 and iron sights, my bad, yes timed. IIRC is was 10 seconds from the 50 yard for each group of 5 and 15 seconds from the 100 for each group of 5. Time is pretty much never an issue for anyone though.

Hope all is well, hon. Finished my taxes last night. Still waiting on that obamaphone.

Yeah, just a lot of driving. My brother was in town so we went up snowboarding for the day.

If I qualify with a perfect score do I get to join the A-team?

Haven’t shot my ar in like 4 years

Random thought, but are you/were you big in the cycling thread on here? I seem to remember you busting out 100 mile rides like it wasn’t no thing.

[gbullock32]

Yes, comes with a Mini 14 with a folding stock too, and a cigar.

No sir, I don’t ride bikes. Except my beach cruiser that was stolen off my porch a year ago

[OfficerJimLahey]

There are a lot of holes in these hills, holes that are full.

A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all f***in' night.

I have ammo for the next year or so.

Definitely not buying any right now when everything is a $1 per round. Not poor I could afford it buts it’s just stupid right now.

If it gets worse I’ll cross that bridge later. Gucci for now. Shoot every week btw. All kinds of drills and shot timers.

But hey I don’t hate on bench rest shooters, sometimes it’s fun to relax to shoot some groups. Don’t have to go all tactical Timmy every range trip.

poor crew

Holy crap the installation updates/downloads for Black Ops Cold War (PS4) are insane.

This is taking hours.

[6spdVQ]

Took the glock 30 out today and played with 2 sig 320’s. One had the romeo optic. Really nice shooting pistols. Ordered a 226 legion last week too. Can’t wait to play with that thing. Almost too pretty to shoot.

Cold War install complete.

Multiplayer controls are excellent.

Disregard the outside world. Acquire an epic kill:death ratio.

Someone aware me in 338 Lapua rifles being so pricey?

[Ikeman83]

It's a mil contract rifle. Mil contract rifles are pricy. The end.



Generally, .338 LM rifles have a longer action and will be built in such a way as to mitigate recoil while being accurate. Typically that's going to be a chassis gun. Chassis guns are expensive, and you're an idiot.

[GooBaaa]

Ruger, Savage and I believe Remington make a 338 and they really aren't that expensive.....

Sure some models may be more like the barret, but I think you really gotta enjoy that distance shooting or have FU money for that

[criminal_manne]

Kind of jelly of fellers who have access to a range to utilize that kind of cartridge. Longest range around me only goes out to 300 yards.

Long range shooting seems like a good way to sink 20-30k to get started lol.

My range only goes out to 200 yards. I wish it went farther but 200 is the limit for my skill at the moment.

[rootcon]

Google maps says I can do about a 2000 ft shot on my dad's farm. I don't really have any optics for that distance tho

[Brozef]

10x is plenty for that distance.

Here in Arkansas we have gotten snow and those really cold temps. Was -19 actual last night. Real feel was -30 something.

It’s funny how people are freaking out though. I mean people are losing power but otherwise it’s not a big deal. Businesses are closing down saying the roads are unsafe. Like what? For half the country this is just a normal February.

[DesiredUserphag]

ARs and AKs with 50 rd drums hehetymen

Half the country doesn't have -19 air temps as normal any time of year. You're talking, like, the North Dakota, Montana, upper Minnesota like Duluth area to get that temp even once in a year, usually. Put it this way, I grew up 10 miles from Lake Michigan, and never once in 25 years did it get that cold. Not once. Not even within 10 degrees of that temp

And roads can be far more dangerous when it's warm and then gets cold, than when it's cold all winter. All winter cold means everything is pretty much frozen all the time. Warm then cold, you can get wicked nasty slick ice on the roads as the liquid water freezes over.

It's also fair for people to freak out if they lose power when it's -19*. People are sheep who don't prepare to handle so much as a couple days without power on their own. No generator or kerosene heater or whatever, power out, -19* air temp...that's a serious issue

[Brozef]

It's cold for half the year here and -19 is fukin cold.

[benz5521]

I remember in Madison, WI and upstate NY going through long periods of time well below freezing and not seeing grass for months at a time. They were way better prepared to clean the roads but still.
