    No urinals on the new Navy aircraft carrier

    Momma always told me not to piss into the wind....always piss off the lee rail.....nigh a drop to be seen on the deck let alone my pant legs. Momma was born with combat boots on so figure she is an authority on the matter!

    Could you hear the bang on a miss?

    Dont think for a second that shots like these are of the legendary "one shot one kill" variety. To make a shot like this you have to "walk it in" over several pulls of the trigger. Multiple shots down range (watching for the bullet splash near the target) will help the spotter gain dope and data...

    California/Nevada Cattle and Coyotes

    Anyone here have stock in California or Nevada that are getting harassed by coyotes? I am looking to do a bit of scouting for places to call this coming winter. If you want a bit of help sorting out the pest yotes let me know....if they are real bad I have no problem taking out a few in the...

    Brute

    I run one of 3 rifles when hunting. My long distance (1000 meter+) spot and stalk rifle is a remington 700 magnum action in 300 win mag, with a Bartlien 26" barrel in a M24 contour (heavy), trued and blue printed action, cnc barrel lug, XLR carbon chassis, Timney 510 trigger set at 1.2lbs, and...

    Could you hear the bang on a miss?

    2700 ft/s is pretty slow in the big scheme of things. Typically hunting rounds you buy off the shelf are at the slower end of the spectrum because you want to save barrel life. I know from my brother (SpecWarfare sniper) runs his rounds pretty hot as do most tactical shooters..... WELL north of...

    Could you hear the bang on a miss?

    On the other hand a 50 cal bullet at 2.2 miles would be well into the subsonic range....so even in that scenario a bullet going by the target would not produce the sonic "crack and snap" most guys hear when bullets are going by close to you. So my educated scientific wild arse guess is that...

    Could you hear the bang on a miss?

    To answer the original question....no not likely. The muzzle of the Tac-50 has a muzzle brake on it that would direct a good chunk of the percussion and blast to the side and rear....not much gets directed down range. Certainly not enough to be heard at 2.2 miles. The spotter however would have...

    Could you hear the bang on a miss?

    Now thats just funny right there! I do a fair bit of long distance shooting with my 300 win mag....shot a coyote in the head at 915 yards. I thought I was slicker than cat snot after that. However 2.2 miles is a whole nuther kettle of fish. Even with modern shooting calculators and range...

    b-i-l asked me to ask..real wood pistol grip for Rem 1100?

    Not really. I do a fair bit of gun work and wood is not a great material for that particular area of a stock. It sticks out like a sore thumb and wood in that location would get pretty beat up pretty quick. Defeating the whole reason for having it in the first place....to look nice.
