All things precision shooting, no experience necessary. Discuss rifles, barrels, action, glass, loads, groups, competitions, and anything else related to the pursuit of tighter groups and longer shots.
>>64767989Local range is 500 yards, so that is probably the farthest I will train to. Mainly I want this as a sentry dmr, something I can make quick follow up shots with. Ill probably put a red dot on top of the scope as a backup. With an AEM5 this thing will be pretty heavy, so I don’t mind adding a little more weight for a nice scope. I have no preference for reticles since I have no experience. Can you use .223 for big game? I’d like to get into hunting in a few years. I also own a .270 Sako Finnbear, which my grandfather hunted with. Should I put a nicer scope on it? Feels wrong to tamper with it…but technology has improved so much.
>>64768627That's a pretty good budget for that kind of usage case, you could get a Vortex Razor 1-10 for that money at the moment from Europtic I think, and have a very decent LPVO with reasonable performance at 1x and decent PID at 10x and a pretty good field of view. You'd have a lot of headroom for an ACOG based setup with a fuckload of field of view but less magnification. Eotech's new Vudu looks like it could be compelling but it's probably best to wait for reviews at this point. The Vortex and the new Voodoo are FFP so you can measure and do wind holds or holdover at any magnification. That's a lot of head room in more traditional tactical scopes too - are you intending on shooting mostly at 500 or mostly at 100-300?That rifle is lovely, anon - if it were me, and my grandfather, I'd leave it as it is and enjoy it, and grab something like a Tikka Lite in a hunting cartridge of my choice with a more modern scope and a KRG or MDT chassis if I wanted a more modern hunting experience.
Any toy gun bros here? I've been thinking about getting a high performance airgun for longer distance target shooting. Used to play around with my fathers .22LR at our summer cottage as a kid and it was very meditative, I really liked it. Helpped in the army shooting range too. I'm finnish so getting the required licenses for anything more than an airgun is more hassle than I'm interested for now but I think said airgun could be a good start because that you can just buy. Anyone have experience of these turkish Hatsan brand guns?
>>64768937Thank you anon, you’ve given me alot to think about. I mean honestly, Im probably going to be shooting 100-300 for the majority while I build up my proficiency. But I would like something capable of 500 when I’m ready for it.Also thank you! I havent shot the sako much, but from what I have done, its super smooth. Much better than my mosin lol. I’ll leave it as is to honor his memory. Maybe even stack a deer with it one day.
>>64770191That budget gives you a lot of options for a nice rifle.
Why join the coast guard over other branches?
It seems like /k/ is hard for the Guard. So, what equipment would you give the USCG to help its mission? Let’s be at least a little realistic, so no nuke powered ice breakers.
>>64770235>less buggeryPoint against it for /k/
>>64771988five million barrels of sarin gas
>>64772203How will that help their mission?
>>64771988Unironcally a LHA or similar helicopter carrier would help their job a ton, especially if they can launch longer range fixed wing drones from it. Really even a shitty converted freighter would do the trick, it's not supposed to be getting in fights
When will the USS Ford be able to launch F-35C's?

>>64772164I'm not asking you to stop being a retard. All I'm asking is next time you make your schizo bullshit the entertaining kind.
>>64772202Correct, because it doesn't need to wait until the midlife upgrade for the F-35C capability.

>>64772073People don't have the skill or motivation to learn with irons first anymore. It's like bikes and training wheels but now people want to keep the training wheels forever.
>>64772073If you want to get good at shooting pistols, you must dry fire, and a red dot gives you about ten times more feedback/data on your trigger pull during dry fire than irons do. If you want to get good quick, dry firing a gun with a red dot for 15 minutes a day is probably the most efficient way to go about it. Red dots aren't *necessary* for learning to shoot a pistol well, but they streamline the process substantially.
>>64772073I would recommend a red dot first because you can learn everything there and then learn a irons. With irons you're fighting sight alignment issues, sight picture issues, and trigger control issues, and recoil anticipation all at once. With a red dot you can easily isolate issues and work on them with dry fire practice with instant feedback.The downside being that developing the skill to be able to "find" the red dot makes using the gun defensively for a new shooter to be a big issue. It's not easy to get over this and develop an index to where you can draw the gun and the red dot is on the target without any effort but once you do that you're better than someone who uses the irons as a crutch for sight alignment (looking at the irons as you draw).If you were purely learning to shoot I would say get a red dot. If you need the gun for defensive reasons, then irons for now but buy a separate gun for practice with a red dot. The idea that you must master irons before going to a red dot is moronic. Also shooting 3 inch groups at 10 yards is basically mastering irons already, people shooting for years in this thread (who defend irons and hate dots) cannot do that with their beloved irons.
>>64772055This slit is only alive because men protect her.That gun is a prop for simps (you).Please get help.
>>64772073Dry fire with a dot. Live fire with irons if that's what you'd carry.
IIRC 50 cent was shot nine times but survived because it was pissant caliber like .25 ACP
>>64770193You have never once shot a pocket .380. Why are you even in this thread? Be silent.
>>64771925I shot an LCP max yesterday, and the day before, and the week before. Just because you TOTALLY NEED (you dont, youre just gay) a comp on a micro .380 doesnt mean others do
>>64771925SYBAU, I agree with him and I definitely have pocket .380s, I love pocket guns.
>>64766700I traded my regular 2.0 for the CC, its worth it if you carry it a lot. The sights are much better. Recoil difference is minor.
>>64771925I have multiple pocket 9's. It's not hard.

>>64767853I'm always up for some twink history.
>>64767866 Well for example it's mentioned in Death in Venice that Tadzio's sisters were raised in severe nun like strictness while he as son and heir was indulged in every regard by his mother like his long curls, his outfits and his lounging posture Vs his ramrod stiff sisters. That's a common theme in European aristocrats of the period. Then there's all male boarding schools where romantic friendships were so common as to be a known thing that a blind eye was turned to it. Another literature example Brideshead Revisited has a Italian character talk about the "strange British and German upper class custom" that a boy's first and most innocent love should be with another boy.Such over mothering and softness was to be counterbalanced by being toughened up in the army or colonial service. It's also important to note that in India young men just out of school would be parachuted into high up positions by modern terms due to being part of a ruling minority.so you would go from boarding school straight to being an Assistant District Commissioner in Afghanistan, a railway supervisor or commanding a precinct of Native Police so you had to put aside your romantic friendships and love poems.

>>64764282The view when wes pushed to americans and brits of the colonies is always laughable. The whole operation from start to finish was always a big fast cashgrab with massive exploitation of anyone white or black they could find, there was never any interest in actually making a country out of it. Just a few idiots thought like that, once sanctions roled and the cold war ended, the white elite wanted to have access to their foreign accounts and to sell their massive crops and mines in the open, there was no muh volk taking precedence over it. Both south afrika and rhodesia had and still have a ton of whites in the govt and controlling the economy after it, now free to get more richer than before from it. Take off the glasses and actually look at the whole point of african imperialism, was always just a cashgrab, you got sold those heroic tales of volks in africa while is all bs, poor whites were getting screwed just as hard, always had an insane economic inequality.
