    Speaking on dead space, I HATED and was horrible at any usts sketch sheet. So I’d pretend like I was trying really hard to get details of the OBs but, I would really be trying to draw as many subliminal dicks as I could before anyone would notice.

    I’m assuming you have a Viper HS, with the turrets under caps. Kenton has turrets for them.

    If you're looking to become a better shooter first, it is hard to beat the training potential of a 22lr at reduced ranges both in terms of money and ability to read the environment. The common advice is that a 22lr behaves roughly how a 308 behaves but at 1/4 the distance. So, if you only have a 200 yard range locally, you can learn to read conditions as if you were shooting a 308 at 800. Match quality ammo costs 1/10 to 1/4 what center fire match ammo costs, and you can shoot a whole lot in a day before coming home still feeling spry without a heavy recoiling or muzzle blasting rifle having beat you up all day long. I recently heard somebody say that it takes about 1500 rounds to develop fundamentals of shooting to the point of basic proficiency, and I know I'd rather spend $150 on ammo to reach that proficiency than $1500. My .02

    Ups can eat my ass. My chassis has been sitting at the local distribution center, 20min from my house since 5am yesterday. They won’t deliver till tomorrow because I didn’t pay for 2-day shipping. Oh but I can pick it up for a $12 charge.

    At least USPS would get it delivered ASAP if it’s in their possession. I’d have had it today at the latest.

    TLDR: fucking die UPS.

    Picked up a ACC in FDE when MDT was running their Black Friday sale. $630 shipped, couldn’t pass on it. Tossing the 12lrp in it for this NRLBW season.

    Ahhhhhh, that's right, I replied to that! I'm a forgetful idiot.
    That'll be cool!
    We're supposed to have nice weather Sunday, same day I'm scheduled for RSO certification. Oh well, I scored a super nice work bench from work today, so that's fun, just gotta move my stuff.

    Going to be a hell of a short walk rifle. Keeping the HS precision for anytime there’s more than 200’ to worry about.

    16.8lbs and I still need to add weight to the front to gain balance.

    Too afraid of messing with the harmonics to get it threaded or anything with the barrel.

    I’m waiting to see hat happens with this bill thing and how it’ll stop the need for ATF jail and a stamp.

    All fun and games till you have to hump and/or jump that MF.

    That looks like a *very* short range for an M82/107.

    It was at one of the local ranges, mainly for the tourists to shoot, not so much for distance.
