Ruger has a shotgun now.
>>64682416Still yes, for the same price I can get a 686 or a 688 with a B-fast stock and not having to worry about paying a smith $200 to slap an adjustable comb on my shotgun. CSMC doesnt mean shit if i dont have my gun fit to me, which is the the actual appeal of a real custom Connecticut shotgun, ya know the whole artisan crafted and custom fit experience? I mean, for 4 grand im almost approaching used perrazi territory, and I can go get those fitted.
>>64682381>>64682454Why would I buy a beretta over a miroku ?
>>64681035A $900 Ruger no1 in .308 and .45-70 for straightwall only states would sell. Same way the Ruger wrangler fills a need for a not terrible cheap .22 plinker a not terrible single shot rifle is desperately needed. I want one just out of autism but a hell of a lot of people would use those for deer slaying Speaking of deerslaying >The deerslayer They brought back the 9mm camp carbine, now we nee the tube fed .44mag
>>64682555Miroku/Miroku made Brownings are great. Pick what suits you.
>>64682555Miroku makes great shotguns. Beretta barrels in the last 10 years have really made them stand out. Awful name, but their steelium and steelium pro barrels are fucking great.

>>64682301I would throw a cup of boiling water in his face and hope he fucks off. Obviously you wouldn't want to shoot him unless it was your last resort. It'd be a massive hassle getting the carcass out of the skylight of whatever that is and cleaning up the mess.

>>64682559Not him but I think he's envisioning a regular window somewhere on the floor/attic the bear is occupying
Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever. We will be dispatching the Grinch Relief Corps (GRC) as needed to remedy. Send grinch relief applications to wendigohunter at protonmail dot comthread theme: https://youtu.be/HPdHkHslFIU?si=--taGzS1BwZ1KnRTold thread>>64643227
This year has been a blast!Big thanks to Ahab and Wendigohunter for getting the site back running aswell as a smooth event.I strongly hope that next year it will be possible again to engage in gift exchanges with US anons (tho our government and the EU tries their best to fuck up all relations currently) and also to go to the 250$ tier. I look forward to this every year and most packages ive received from anons were more personal than stuff ive gotten from my family. Love you silly fucks like u wouldnt believe, have a happy new year and appeal to heaven /k/ !
I got a parcel today and another to post for unboxing but I am busy at work and won’t be able to post at around 02:00AM. To the santa’s that sent packages and didn’t grinch me this year, thank you. I’ll make sure to post. To the anons that i sent stuff to and posted in the threads, I’ll make sure to comment on you guys later.Merry Christmas to (most of you) all. I’m looking forward to next year.
>>64682389>Delivered, In/At Mailbox>December 26, 2025, 12:00 pmThey finally got it there. I'm glad they didn't lose it!
>>64681983>I’ve never participated and won’t (because I don’t trust myself enough to find cool gifts)You should still give it a try next year, dude. Your gifts are cooler than you think. I've have an extremely difficult time with this with loved ones IRL, but more often than not I find that just taking the time to find something I think they'll like is more than enough. Making something yourself is always priceless. And a very Merry belated Christmas to you too, and Happy New Year!
>>64682582>>64681983Chances are if you just find shit you find cool thats vaguely related to what the target asked for theyre gonna love it, my target seemed pretty happy and i loved the shit i got and we both had pretty open ended requests. the nature of /k/ and especially se/k/ret santa lends itself to everyone having pretty similar interests.
Are modern U.S. shipyards still capable of producing ships on such a scale?
>Most coverage of that event focused on the political issues surrounding the pier, and the general geopolitical context of the Gaza crisis that the U.S. military was recklessly being thrust into. What fewer people picked up on, however, was that the mission was doomed to fail from the start, purely due to technical reasons: the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (jlots) system being put in place was simply not rated to handle the regular sea states in the area. The almost immediate scuttling of the Gaza pier due to damage from rough seas was not a freak accident, or attributable to some sequence of bad luck: it was a completely foreseeable and indeed inevitable outcome. The relevant point that needs to be made regarding the Gaza pier has nothing to do with the Gaza crisis itself; rather, it is that the military was made to expend real logistical assets (assets which are in increasingly short supply) on a mission that could not work even on paper. No one with relevant experience inside the military would have been ignorant of something so basic as looking up a sea state chart; yet at no point was the practical impossibility of the mission allowed to prevent it from going forward. To put it bluntly, the military was given a deeply ideological mission, one that would assuredly result both in failure and damage to or destruction of limited logistical assets. Military leadership, knowing which side their bread was actually buttered on, complied: the mission duly failed, and the limited equipment was damaged and destroyed.ouch...
>Yet again, from a warfighting perspective, this behavior shouldn’t actually be happening. But it is happening, because within the institutional setting of the military—which is heavily shaped by the expectations set by a deeply ideological civilian and uniformed leadership—this sort of behavior not only makes sense, it is often required. To buttress this point with a non-Army example, a major theme covered in the reporting of the 2010s USS Fitzgerald and USS McCain collisions (which together led to the loss of seventeen sailors and constitute two of the most serious disasters the Navy has ever suffered in peacetime) was that ship captains were expected to sail even if their personnel situation or maintenance backlogs should not have allowed it; captains lied to their admirals who in turn lied to their political superiors. Rather than grapple with how lying had become an institutional requirement inside the Seventh Fleet, the Navy instead chose to blame these accidents on the ship captains themselves, even though the captains had repeatedly issued warnings to their superiors about the risk of serious accidents.anyway, with Trump and Hegseth at the helm, I see light at the end of the tunnel. They are draining the swamp and cutting pork. We will be great again. Trust!
>>64678560Latinos can't even run their own countries. Every Latin American country is a massive shithole for zero justifiable reason. They're just incapable of building civilizations. They have zero ability to contribute to a hypothetical American WW3.

I refuse to buy CAT because their website and naming scheme is incomprehensible garbage.wtf is this?

>>64682441the calibers are right there, I don't see what's so cryptic. "556m" isn't much different than "SOCOM556-RC2" or whatever. if they want to have a little fun then I don't care, even if it is corny. either the suppressors are good or they're not
this is everything I hate about modern gun culture in the US

>>64682551My favorite gen-xism is their sudden realization of their irrelevancy and cope posting on facebook about how "college-aged millennials" are in awe about their toughness and growing up independent and shit. The copypasta my seniors post on facebook is fucking gay as shit, but so funny at the same time. I look forward to the day when Millennials stop shitting on themselves and try to pretend we were at all consequential or better than what came before or after. It's going to bu really funny watching picrel try to larp as the greatest generation or some shit.
ZERO round under the firing pin totally and utterly safe, no questions. Pull the trigger? cylinder rotates and fires. The next step is the Walther P99, no potential energy in striker when decocked instant DA fire then goes back to SA.

Which caliber is better? Does the shorter length of the .308 while being mostly the same ballisticly make it better, or does the slightly longer length and ability to use heavier grain bullets of the 30-06 make it better?Or is 30-06 better because it sounds cooler and is an American classic?
>>64668424>30-06 for anything heavier than 180 grain.Basically, "this". For the average end user, it does not really matter.
>>64677636Is that a Veracity PH? I have one of those. Mine is the 3-15x version. Love it.
>>64681707No, it's a Fullfield 3-12x42. I'm not too enthused with its optical clarity, but the price was right, it's pretty lightweight for its magnification range, and I do really like the reticle. Maybe I'll upgrade it one day but it got me a deer so I can't complain too hard.
>>64680433It's easy when you live in the place that uses it. It's already irritating enough working on some cars that do happen to have some metric bolts, it'd be 10x worse to just halt literally everything, adjust every form of tooling we have for everything, it's just not a practical proposition.
.30-06 for hunting..308 for accuracy.
A dragon has claimed your city and is snatching up citizens to be part of its treasure hordeHow would you, an ordinary citizen, take it out with only the weapons available to you? It has tough scales, can fly, spew fire, and is large enough to swallow a person whole. What can you do with the weapons and ordinance of a single civilian to kill it?

>>64677475Bingo. Only terachad doesn’t care.I suspect the male desire for violent, degrading, deviant sex also comes from this. You’re trying to probe out of the girl an honest signal of her affection for you, and the amount of discomfort she will endure is a good sign of this. You want it to be the case that she endured the most discomfort with you. Did she do things with others she won’t do with you? Why? Did she care more about pleasing them? You’re comparing yourself to the others who came before you, but you don’t know who they are or what they look like, so it’s hard to gauge what her maximum is. I bet the desire for all this scales with female promiscuity, female SMV, and inveserely with your own SMV. The more of a Chad you are, the more likely it is that you compare favorably to those who came before, so your mind is more at ease. And obviously a virgin girl has done nothing so no need to mog anyone. And the whole point behind all this is that is probably informs her likelihood of cheating on you.

Gripen pilot, shareholder, and spokesperson says stealth is irrelavent 70's tech on major youtubers podcast
>>64677144No, they aren't. Not even close.But also--Finland chose F-35 over Gripen because it was cheaper. The whole package: airframes, lifetime maintenance, weapons. Actually it was the only thing that matched their budget. Funny how that works isn't it?Geopolitics matter.US decided having a reliable ally operating F-35s from bases right next to Murmansk might be neat, so they cut Finland the deal they were looking for.
>>64682330Anon, what you're looking at there is the INTERNAL cost the DoD charges to other DoD branches if they want to fly a mission using another branch's assets, if the army asks the airforce to fly a mission, they pay the airforce a SUBSIDIZED rate. What you're looking at is a breakdown of that SUBSIDIZED rate. What isn't included in that figure is the salary of the pilots/ground crew, the cost of the logistical support from lockheed, depot maintenance costs, and costs spent to modify the jet (modification costs for the year get added up together and divided by the total number of airframes to make it "fair"). So yeah, the ACTUAL cost to fly is much closer to $30,000/hour than it is $17,000/hr.
>>64682353you have anything to back up this claim?
>>64682387I mean, read the title?RCPFH means Reimbursable Cost Per Flight Hour.They're reimbursable costs because you bill them to the other branch that's asking for you to do the flight. The most recent CBO report on the F-35 says ~$45,000-60,000/hrhttps://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2025-06/61347-F-35-Availability.pdf
For a 30k per hour flight costAre they unironically doing literally hundreds of hours of maintenance for 1 hour of flight?
