If she won't group off bags then the most likely culprit is bedding. How the rifle rests in the bags gives your barrel different vibrations than when you are firing offhand, it is the most logical explanation if the rifle is the culprit.

Did you glass bed the reciever and first few inches of barrel?

Iran may be the center of it all, but Saudi Arabia is funding it.

If you have no place to store ammo, you aren't being creative enough. Is there no place in the basement, garage, closets, toolshed (in a locked container of course), etc.

The basement or closest is preferred for long term storage, but the others will do for short term...

Well I don't have what you are looking for, but I'm wondering why only a CAD machinist can help you?

There are usually multiple solutions to any given problem.

Jimro

It's a lower price alternative to buying a crowning tool or having a machinist/gunsmith recrown the barrel. If you have a buddy with a lathe it's a quick job, even I can do it fairly easily. I haven't bothered with the 11 degree crown yet, just straight and uniform so far, but I think I will try 11 degrees on this next barrel.

Good luck on your project.

Tony,

SnipersParadise uses Invision software to run their forum, so it must be the actual server box that is crapping out on us.

These guys are expensive, at 120 bucks a year, http://www.invisionzone.com/ but they are the same company that built this software, so in my mind they are the most likely candidate to fix a problem if it arises.

However, I think that as soon as the host for this sight gets off his fourth point of contact and upgrades the account all bugs will go away.

IPB WARNING [2] main(./ips_kernel/class_db_mysql.php): failed to open stream: Cannot allocate memory (Line: 157 of /index.php)

Memory allocation problems, either the swap file is/was full at the server, or the RAM needs to be upgraded. That's my guess anyways.

Wish I had a DSL line so I could set up a hosting service for ya'll, my brother in law does IT support for a living and he owes me a faver. He's much better at software and management than I am.

Jimro

It is either a software glitch, or a hardware glitch. Most likely a software glitch unless the hosting company has multiple products on the server hosting this forum, then we could be getting the sql errors because the machine is busy processing other requests from other clients.

Well, since you already have enough for hunting North America, then a safari cannon or long range rig are the next two choices.

Long range options includ 8mm Rem Mag, 338 RUM and 338 Lapua mag. All the various 30 cal magnums as well. However the action isn't exactly benchrest quality, so this is a "wild hair" project.

A safari cannon has lots of option, the 416 Rigby, 404 Jeffrey, 500 Jeffrey, 505 Gibbs, 458 Lott, 460 Wby, as well as a host of wildcats. The 458 Lott is a good choice because it can also fire 458 Win mag cartriges in a pinch.

If I were you I'd make the knockaround 375 H&H, and a presentation grade 458 Lott or 416 Rigby. Except I think it would bloody cool to have a tactical 8mm Rem Mag pushing 200 grain SMK's out past 1k, I have a "wild hair" so to speak.

I'd love to be in Puyallup this weekend, unfortunately my wife has enlisted my expertise in tent pitching for my sister's baby shower on saturday. Maybe there'll be enough time on sunday after church....

Jimro

If you have too much headspace, just necksize the brass for that Turk, you'll essentially be creating a wildcat, but it'll be safe enough.

If you are going to go through the hassle of having the barrel set back, I'd rebarrel unless the barrel you have is a real shooter.

There was an "Islamic Art of War" written by a Taliban General, I've been trying to get a copy of it. However it will probably read much the same, instilling fear and panic in the infidels is the goal, then the infidels will overreact and defeat themselves.

Congrats Jason,

I've got 14 credits left before I get my degree. If your heart is set on being a Naval Officer, then go forth full speed ahead. All the services are hurting for good personnel right now and they'd be dumb to turn away any volunteer.

Take care.

Black Hawk Stout, from Saratoga Springs NY.

My wifes take was, creamy texture, strong molasses flavor, with hints of coffee. She says it smells, "really beery".

My take is that it is a very mild stout, with an obvious hop taste. More bitter than sweet, with a definate bitter aftertaste. Would go well with salty food like fish and chips, or anything fried. All in all it doesn't impress me as spectacular, but very well rounded and drinkable, more like a porter than a stout. This would make a great party beer for your friends, it spreads over the tongue pretty evenly and isn't overpowering.

Anchor Porter: rich with a definate molasses taste. On the sweet side, with a slightly bitter but not unpleasant aftertaste. The aroma is not too strong, the the taste is well rounded with small smoky hints of flavor. A very aproachable and drinkable porter. Goes well with moderately spicy foods like pizza because of the sweetness but would accent any of the more traditional courses, from salmon to sausage to steak. This would be a definate choice to serve alongside a Puerto Rican stew.

This is very drinkable, I had the wife take a sip and she described it as "smooth", and my wife doesn't like beer.

Okay Gents and Lady,

Tonights brew is another California offering, Sierra Nevada Porter.

Aroma is very potent, made the wife wrinkle her nose. Wife says it is "very tart, not smoky" no molasses taste either.

I say that she's right, this is a very hoppy, crisp porter. That hop taste dominates the flavor and you have to really roll it around your tongue to find the more subtle flavors. For those who like IPA's, this is the porter for you. This would go great with bratwurst sausages and BBQ.

LOL, I was trained to find enemies "playing 'possum" by kicking them squarely in the nuts as hard as I could. I was told that only a corpse wouldn't respond.

However, as I now know, mind altering substances would also allow someone to not respond to such an intense level of pain. However, when someone is that high, they probably won't be playing 'possom.

Then headshots or upper spinal column shots are what do the trick. Accuracy is the only thing that can immediately incapacitate an enemy. One guy in Jersey took a 12 gauge slug through the chest and didn't stop until he bled out, not a terrorist, just a run of the mill Jersey lowlife criminal scumbag.
