50+ thread

They make many models lower end though I think is some where around 600 above that they come with fire ratings mine is 45 min I did look to see if they still sold my model no they don't it was pretty pricey 18 years ago they go from low end to starting at 1k ish .

Well that is a plus the LEO's must have a good relationship with ADT home services for immediate dispatch around here unless you have talked to the LEO's and told them what you have there you are looking at a 7 to 12 min minimum response home alarms rate below business and about on par with a prowler call to many false alarms. Out in the country side they are helpful but not really add outside noise makers and lights almost guarantees someone will video the idiots as they leave .

Hey if Mike "Cold Iron " likes his Stack on safe and bought a 2nd one that's what I like to hear!!

 

Great day to be at the range:

Today was a rifle match we run, two classes DMR and Recce. We're running a series that happens at two ranges, four qualifiers then we'll take the top 20 shooters for the final.

 

Or end up with a hickory haircut

 

Ok time to take me to school or I got to google lol I gather this is rifle based 500y plus ?? With what kind of rules ?

Me too! Just finished dinner, it is time.

Safe though, not the security cabinet. Cyber is correct there are several different lines and grades. However... If it is Cali approved that says something. Personally I like the fire rating and heavy bolt to the floor safes. Hate like hell moving it once it is it staying there but owning my own home don't expect to have to move it but one more time. I think Needs Analysis for where you live and anticipated threats to your guns also play a part so it is a balancing act. And then there is the bank savings account to consider too.

Had my last birthday supper tonight. Well last one in the 50's anyhow. Tomorrow is steak so going to continue Rosseanne Bar aint sung yet.

First you partially grill some bacon. Because well there is a common theme with me. It is bacon.



Wrap it around wild sea scallops. King Hawaiian original bbq sauce for the shrimp. And a few with just butter.



Done don't want to over cook or under cook and it turned out perfect.



Corn was a bit young and not up to speed. But after this weekend will not be eating carbs for awhile. Hawaiian pink salt on the corn to go with the theme. Lots of left overs LOL tomorrow will be surf and turf.



Now for that drink and cigar.

 

I ate 3 hours ago that is long enough I am damn hungry now :}

it was 46' and rain today, you may be cold.

 

afternoon boys....

GREAT news Mike about Carol

I'm pooped.....

 

Mike, you may want to buy a whole or 1/2 a pig. I did this year and had it all butchered "fresh"(no additives what-so-ever). You'll soon realize that store bought bacon is garbage and not worth the plastic it comes in. I didn't even have them slice the bacon so I could have more options cooking/smoking/cuts and not be restricted by conventional thought. Next year I'll do it a little different, but that stuff everyone thinks is bacon will have a hard time coming into my house again. And the rest of the pig is awesome too. The chops are awesome, not pumped full of water and preservatives. It'll really change your thinking.

 

It was 107 and not a cloud in the sky here.

 

We shoot out to 700 mostly steel, some paper, a crapton of movers.

DMR = designated marksman rifle, semi-auto platform, magnification what ever you feel is prudent (I run a 4-16 Vortex), allowed a bipod

Recce = accurized patrol rifle, semi-auto as well, magnification up to 6x (a number of guys run ACOGs) no bipod

DMR shooters have to engage reduced IDPA silhouettes typically 1/3 -1/2

Recce shooters are engaging full sized 31x18 IDPA silhouettes

You're shooting from all kinds of positions, 20ft tower, a suspended platform that's swinging side to side, makeshift hide with a bunch stuff to build a position, 8ft tall A frame rafter like apparatus and who knows could be a serious "what the front yard" here's your target assignment figured it out.

 

Sounds fun as soon as you said ACOG yep above my price range lol Course I never got further the 440 is on my best day 30 years ago lol 300 and under ok . What at you running that Vortex on ?
