^^^ I am glad that paranoid gunfag does not live anywhere near me. He is fucking nutz. I can't believe people actually think like that.
That reminds me, time to sight in my 30-06, elk season is coming right up. Saw a burly 6x6 bull on my drive down the mountain this morning. I want to fill up my freezer before ski season.

I’d. Mop the floor with those enthusiasts.
Cage match or gunfight. I’m a winner
Would you be bringing any of your gayass knives to this cage match or gun fight?
Mop the floor, monkeyQuote:

He went in and ordered them out, Racial slurs ensued. Fight breaks out and they get his shotgun away from him, unload it and sit it in the corner. He retreated to the kitchen and retrieved an iron skillet. Started down the hall and one of the new friends pulled a knife.Quote:

Client retreated to the kitchen, retrieved a handful of shotgun shells. Got back into the living room and started loading his shotgun, all the while yelling get out of my house. The reply was f... you n..... Testimony was one started reaching for a knife. Client plugged the guy through the upper torso hitting the pulmonary artery. Guy runs down the stairs, collapses in the yard and expires, 2nd degree. Complicating the case was client took a passing shot at GF as she ran out the door, but missed, attempted 2nd degree.
He originally received a total sentence of 45 years. I had a great argument for judicial misconduct, but the Court of Appeals didn't buy it. I got it down to 30, and he was paroled at 25 last year.
Lesson: Don't bring a knife to a shotgun fight. Or better yet, when a large pissed off man tells you to get out of his house while loading a shotgun, listen.
meaning it's not sighted in already? unless you just bought it how does that work?Quote:

Reminds me what happens to toe wing setting on the older 900s..

The ONE TIME in my life I did not re-sight my gun (after having wiped out on a steep snowy slope and bonking the scope), I wounded an elk next time out and never found it. Went to the range the next day and sure enough it was about 12 inches high and right. Worst hunting experience of my life. To say nothing of what the elk must have suffered.
This is my Goddamned worst nightmare.Quote:

When I shot IDPA, lots of dry mag change practice. Over and over and over.
Question:. Friend came over tonight with suppressed 6.5CM and frustrating results. Long story short, he was shooting 11" higher suppressed at 500 yards than with no suppressor or brake. I chronoed his gun and found it to shoot faster with the can. I always thought cans slowed down bullets but I don't own one and am not at all versed in them.
Here's where it gets weird...at 100 yards, his POI is 4" LOWER with the can. WTF is happening?
I don’t run one but know guys that do and have heard that it will typically increase accuracy slightly and some times change poi a little. What your buddy is experiencing is quite bizarre.Quote:

Maybe run this question on rokslide, snipershide etc. Or google with those forums in the search. I searched a bit and came up empty with your particular issue.
Yeah, about .75 moa. It's very odd.Quote:

I do it every October in the Rocky Mountains. If I'm lucky, said showdown is usually grueling, exhausting and very uncomfortable but it yields enough organic meat to feed my family for most of the year.Quote:

The can will change the harmonics of any barrel it is mounted to. Similar to what the Winchester BOSS system did only that system was fine tune able.
It's not odd at all. At 100 meters the weight of the can is lowering his POI but at 500 meters the extra velocity is making up for the lowering POI. I talked to a suppressor maker about the increase in accuracy and he said that a can doesn't do that. His theory is that reduction in noise and recoil is what helps with an increase in accuracy.Quote:

Increased velocity - my first answer is chrony's are weird. Changing light, barrel blast, rotation of the earth, etc. can change readings unless you're running a top of the line oehler, but the dope always proves the pudding. In this case the can is probably acting like a longer barrel and giving more velocity.
