    Any Hunters in Here?

    Did the AR10 have an especially short barrel? Mine isn't full-auto, but I feel that the AK47s I've shot are harder to control with rapid semi-auto than the AR10 (mine is .308 with 20" barrel) despite being of similar weight. Having the brass ejecting toward you would definitely not be fun...

    WP 3D Orion how does it stay intact?

    It is, but it's not an instantaneous drop. There isn't some mystical 1" thick wall between the eye and the inner wall where winds go from 200+ kts to 5 kts. Remember the wings don't know they are flying at 100kts groundspeed, or 400kts groundspeed. The air flowing over them is the same...

    Class Bravo Operations

    This. Just make small deviations around the clouds to remain clear in Class B. If this is an actual cloud ceiling/deck then I would be requesting lower, or advising ATC that I would be descending to whatever altitude keeps me clear.

    Flight simmers - help me understand the market for super-realistic airplane models

    Yeah, I think my biggest issue aside from just having spare time to mess with it (coaching multiple sports for multiple kids right now lol) is just not having a dedicated setup. Having to unbox the yoke/throttles and clamp them in place on a desk, move around various equipment, getting MSFS...

    Flight simmers - help me understand the market for super-realistic airplane models

    I also came from the early days of MSFS on a Windows 3.1 machine. I have the fanciest version of the MSFS2020 on my computer and I think I have played it twice lol. I have decent yoke/throttles (Honeycomb stuff) but I struggle to find enough time to set it up and play. I think it would be great...

    Helene relief flights

    Potential bright side to the alcohol problem is that it IS TN/NC so they can probably get the stills going for some moonshine pretty quickly!

    I'm impressed no matter the torque on that nut, lol. Consistent shots inside 6" at 600yds is still fantastic. Do you dial or hold for windage?

    Any Hunters in Here?

    We have a new Scheels opening up in 2 weeks here in Tulsa, so I may see what they have for MDT and Howa chassis as well to compare to KRG. I have a whisper pickle in mind already, at least for the .30 cal stuff. HuxWrx Flow 762 Ti, which is a printed Titanium suppressor. Have their QD muzzle...

    FAA: You can bypass ATC academy if you're from these programs

    Well heck, if being a graduate of Univ of Oklahoma is the only hurdle I've got that covered, lol. Being just over 40 is going to be a bigger problem though.

    Any Hunters in Here?

    You'd be surprised at how bad a shot I can be, lol. I'm waiting for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales to come around and I might take a leap at a KRG Bravo or X-Ray chassis to build up a bolt-action rifle for light PRS. I do like the smooth action on my Tikka, but I don't recall seeing many...

    Any Hunters in Here?

    Lol, at a certain point I'm sure "statistically significant" volume of shots comes into play, but I wouldn't be able to hit .084" other than sheer blind luck and even my luck isn't that good!

    Any Hunters in Here?

    Yeah, the AR308 build was sort of a do-all compromise when I first started this thread. Not great at anything (aside from putting lots of ammo downrange rapidly), but good enough to lug to a tree stand or hunting blind. Wouldn't want to trek miles through the woods or up a mountain side with...

    6.5CM is a popular caliber for the 600-1000yd guys as well. Slightly better ballistics than .308, but lower bullet weight. Of course there's all sorts of PRC and ARC calibers as well, but they aren't quite as prevalent it seems.

    Air-to-Air P-40 Warhawk

    I think the P-40 looks more menacing and intimidating, the P-51B has a sleeker/sexier look. Good thing for us there's a world where both exist!

    Any Hunters in Here?

    I'm sure the CF-wrapped barrel saves a bit of weight (20" barrel), but it was still right at 10lbs prior to mounting the optic. I had a pretty long SLR handguard as well as the Magpul PRS Gen3 stock which certainly don't help shed any weight. The Accu-Tac ARCA Bipod adds another bit of weight...

    Any Hunters in Here?

    I went ahead and picked it up. Seemed too good a deal to pass up. I doubt I'll be going after deer with it, but I've never shot a lever gun, much less a .30-30, so if I don't end up liking it for iron sight target shooting, I can likely sell it for more than what I've got into it and find one a...
