  1. What if he wiped it down the M9 with Bud light and changed it's pronouns?
  2. but don't be fooled it is very demanding...
  3. Roughing it at the shoots...
  4. Right now the only thing holding the rifle back is me. Building up the brass so I'll soon be able to start developing loads
  5. Only if you admit to it rember how ever ity turns out just claim that's the look you wanted. Once things warm up here it will be something to try out
  6. 😲
  7. Welcome from BC
  8. Imagine if he was actually driving around... he'd need to have the deaslership installed windshield wipers on the inside Which knowing Vic, we'd then get another great rant on dealerships
  9. I would expect nothing less brother
  10. That's going to leave a mark...
  11. You'll probably get first crack at it once the Form6NIA update comes through So are you suggesting I shouldn't use maple syrup to lube ? It is a Canadian rifle... Pretty sure the gun isn't the issue, now the chimp on the trigger is a whole other issue Thanks, come down in the fall and shoot her. For right 'out of the box' and still trying to tweek the adjustments, the groups are only going to tighten up
  12. So took her out shooting today, after going through the suggested barrel break in got sighted in at 100M. Still playing with finding the sweet spot for scope/cheekrest. For a first time out with factory ammo,overall very happy as I know things will tighten up as I dial things in. Once I build up more brass, I'll be able to start working up some loads which should result in a ragged hole at 100M. Ammo-Factory Hornady 147gr ELD For refrence the squares are 1"
  13. I'm sure no one here would ever suspect you of trying ti instigate anything
  14. You must be new here...
  15. Badass wishes it was Sgt. Yntema
  16. Well that's a kick to the nuts with a steel toed boot. The board recomended solution is buy new rings (2pc to allow use of rifle) and a new rifle that works with the current 1 piece scope mount. Many new rifles begin as a spare part
  17. Don't let the smile fool you he's training an army of attack chickens. I'm sure sending them home each with a care package of choclate covered esspresso beans will be greatly appreciated
  18. This came to mind
  19. I ordered his book and it should be here end of month. I wanted the hardcover rather than paperback or kindle version
  20. Like I said my WK180 needs some flare as it's the only ARish gun of mine that isn't under house arrest. I'll come down early and you can work your magic I'm running a 1-7.5 twist for the heavier bullets. The 140s will run in both the 6.5 CM and PRC but looking at 147 and greater for the PRC. Right now Hornady 147gr Match rounds is easily availible so that's what I'll buy as a scource of brass. It's not a real thread till it gets derailed
  21. A beautiful looking rifle sir
  22. Will be buying factory ammo for now to build up brass collection, but just checked and local shop carries the Berger 140 Hybrids. Berger also has a 144 and 153 hybird trarget to try. Hornandy has the 140,144 and 147 in their line up to try
  23. Herbert Wesley McBride was a Captain in the Twenty-first Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. He was a sniper and commander of a machine gun unit known as the “Emma Gees.” He was also the author of two books on the war: “A Rifleman Went To War” (1933) and “The Emma Gees” (1918)...When the war started, he volunteered in a Canadian rifle company in Ottawa because he wanted to see action as quickly as possible. He was commissioned as an officer, but was reduced to a private due to several drunken incidents. He shipped to England for training and then to the Western Front, where he participated in battles around Ypres and the Somme throughout 1916. In his book, “A Rifleman Went To War,” he recounts killing more than 100 German soldiers as a sniper. This book is highly regarded by students of riflery, it’s mandatory reading in the U.S. Marine Corps Sniping School. It is also considered one of the best first-person accounts of World War I, often being compared favorably to “Storm of Steel” by Ernst Junger. Armed with a Ross rifle and a telescopic sight, he kept notes on how ballistics were affected by such externals as temperature, humidity, wind, and other changes in weather and lighting conditions. He improved upon techniques of camouflage and concealment and developed methods of fooling the enemy as to a sniper’s exact location. All these techniques were passed on and used by snipers around the world. The Canadian Ross rifle excelled as a sniper rifle but as a general front line infintry weapon it was not the best choice.
