Much better to go through life as a smartass than a dumbass

Welcome from BC

That's the beauty about being on this site, we will always be the voice of reason and validate your decision to buys guns, related gear and fun stuff in general.

Before heading out just wanted to say Happy New year everyone here. Been fortunate enough to meet some of you fine folks in person and look forward to meeting more in the new year on some of the shoots. Had a great day shooting, pretty quiet at the range as we had rainfall warnings and this is in an area that's pretty much a rainforest,three local mountains canceled New Year's activity due to weather. On the way back home my transfer case decided it no longer wanted to live so looks like I'm getting a new t/case for Christmas. On the plus side it will be an excuse to upgrade/beef thing up. Even with that hiccup I've been blessed with a great year and look forward to 2020. I wish everyone and their families all the best and a great upcoming year, Eric

@CAVU some good reading in this thread https://forum.308ar.com/topic/18456-long-distance-getting-started/?tab=comments#comment-290032 plus some of the YouTube channels shown have further material.

Sharing is caring I just windex came in more than one flavor

Still got aways to go to catch up to @MikedaddyHhave to build up stock for practice and spring shoot

Hopefully we'll see it at spring shoot,you got a couple months to get some range time in prior.

Seem like gravity can be a bitch to more than just you brother

They might want to take a closer look at Virginia's state motto

I like Tactical Tailor and it's available up here but will do some price comparison as I can bring back CAN$800 duty free.

Dad used to say " learning from a mistake is an education,your tuition will vary" I wonder what this guy learned?

@Cunuckgaucho asked me what's all in my chest rig, at the last Fall Shoot. I started to tell him what's in there, and said, "We'll get everything out and go over it all in awhile..." Things got so crazy, that we never ended up doing that... Well, I keep two small notebooks in there, and a good pen. One notebook is a cheap little throw-away, that I write anything and everything in. Once I confirm some information, it then gets crossed over into the Rite-In-The-Rain "permanent notebook." I got a BUNCH of data today from shooting, that needs to be crossed over to the permanent notebook now... I thought I'd try something different and rather then derail a thread just start a new one. I'm sure you had more than two notebooks and a pen @98Z5V in your set up, Looking for some input and ideas as I set something up for myself.The idea is that anything up to a planned 24hr will be on belt On my visit south I got a chance to see some gear set ups not really common up here. I liked the battle belt/ chest rig set ups, up here for hiking/hunting a small backpack is the goto. Plus everything is in one bag. Unless one has multiple size backpacks you end up with unneeded carrying capacity plus swapping gear back and forth( potential to forget something) The idea is a padded belt that has the basic kit whether a day hike or longer- two water bottles/canteens( rather two smaller than one large), a first aid pouch,snack/food pouch,emergency pouch( matches, firestarter cubes,paracord,garbage bag,compass), multi tool Task specific pouches that are added as needed ex- shooting(DOPE,notebook,pen/pencil,monocle) For longer duration adding a small pack( with water bladder), better shelter,more food,water filter etc. So what brands are people using? What am I missing- my primary use is PNW( mountains,forest) Monocle vs binocular? Brand suggestion?

Got caught up on Netflix yesterday aka deprimining and cleaning 9mm,5.56mm and 7.62mm brass

Happy to hear of the great time you guys had , sad I wasn't able to be there

Merry Christmas all, hope you and your families have a great holiday.I look back on the year gone by and I know I have lots to be thankful for, having a chance to hang out in person with some of you is definitely a highlight. I look forward to meeting even more members in the upcoming year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

We had a vote... you must have missed it

No idea, nothing was mentioned. Unlikely it will ever be tried, destined for the smelter.

This is how I'm now picture Mike's house This being a sample picture of one room...

Just thought we could all use a laugh, picture of 'guns' seized by Canadian police. Pay particular attention to the DIY silencer and where the body came from, the adapted flare gun and of course the DIY sabot 12ga round. The SKS stock work defies description and what they did to that poor Cooey .22 single shot rifle( a true Canadian classic) . that gentlemen is the true crime here.
