I'm not saying things could get crazier in America than they have, but when the thugs and their political leaders want to shut down the police departments, and they have about a 50-50 chance of taking the Presidency of the U.S. in just a few months.

I'd say it's time to pray up, load up and look up.

The guy in the middle? One of my ARs is setup exactly like his, except I have a Nikon BDC scope.

True about the ugly political possibilities, and we need to focus on talking in subtle terms about freedoms with others in our communities between now and November (very soon!). But on the more technical side,...

Different kinds of rifles work better for different terrains, as mentioned at least a couple of times by Kevin. Longer rifles (velocity) with heavier barrels (barrel temperatures, whip) can be good assets when away from builtup areas (cities). Heavier bullets with greater ballistic coefficients can also offer an edge in places with higher visibility (distances), more foliage, breezes, etc.

But yeah, short, light rifles are all the rage. ;)

Personally, after having been trained with M-16s, I get more pleasure with a nice, sleek, light, bolt action rifle made for hunting, one round at a time. :)

Western Rifle Shooters is a GREAT website. I’m so glad they got back up and running!

Yep, regardless of the outcome of the election, violence and aggression have been drastically cultivated and encouraged so it’s up to the 3% of us to get our shite together and prepare.
Prepare mentally, physically, spiritually, & financially. Should have gotten serious about this yesterday and better prepared today.

Bump for later

A local Walmart is clearing out some Savage Axis and Remington 700 rifles. They have the 700 with a scope rings etc. for $290. I am thinking of getting one since my only high powered rifles are an old 98 Mauser and a 96 Swedish Mauser.

I was leaning toward the .223 but read an article which said it has a one in 12 twist rate. OK for most loads but not the heavy bullets. I might finally get the .243. Just can’t seem to pull the trigger.

I like the primary arms acss as a budget option. The diagonal mini red dot is interesting

Okay, so I watched the video- reminded me of, well me, in the days of yore, minus a few newer tech goodies.

Now, the reality- These carbines they are sporting are $6-10k boutiques that the average “operator” gets to tote from uncle sugar or the Police department.

Here’s what a set up like these cost ( after the SBR and Suppressor stickers of $400):

Rifle-$800 give or take for a decent one, $1500+ for a pixie dusted unicorn horned version.

Optics- the 34 mm Leupy Mk 8 1-8x $2800+
the Aimpoint T2-$600

Laser light/designator, IR- $1000-3000, for a the ones that work

Suppressor-$300-1200

All the extra gadgets and mounts etc- $500-700

So, my estimate is for one of these SBR stamped/suppressed goodie laden tools-

The low end: $3600
Hi End: $8900

Oh, BTW, don’t forget a decent set of goggles, say Gen 2+ $1800 min, Armor, $800, etc.

So, for the price of a small used car, you get one 556 mid range tool that depends on a long tail of logistics.

I think I will write up a sort of comprehensive list and plan for the average Joe and Jill.

The stuff these guys are talking about is not realistic for 90% of us.

BUMP!

Thanks for posting. Great video. Definitely has my head spinning. A lot of information there that I'm going to have to go through very carefully one little bit at a time.

I bought an AR-15 quite a while back but haven't done a thing with it, not even taken it to the range. In my 70s now, so what's the point? But this video is giving me the itch again, lol! Something to bequeath to whomever I think will be worthy of it? Not my drug-addled nephew, that's for sure! Gonna have to identify somebody soon, tho. Why did I ever talk the poor boy out of joining the Army way back when? The military turned me around, might have done the same for him, who knows?

Anyhoo, here's another nice little pic apropos this topic, again from Matt:
