Feeding the Machine. Gtting ready for the Kingman match in a week and a half...

LET'S DO THIS, BROTHER!!!

He's a giant part of Ranger history - we had to learn about him, in 1990.

AL, I personally love all Rangers, past, present, and future. I have a personal vested interest in Rangers. Good post, brother. RLTW isn't a slogan. It's a way of life, changes your life.

Check it. Give thoughts. Let's see who is still actually HERE. I know in the past, we'd have a ton - metric SHIIT ton - of comments on something like this. Let's see who is really still here... Watch, lemme know what you think. This is most definitely a test. Bet your ass on that. Let's just see who does NOT show up... That gauges the reach of the forum right now - who is here. And who is not...

I LOL'd HARD on that last one...

^^^ Knew it would happen, but didn't think it would happen THIS fast!... This just proves that they should be looking at the CRIMINALS and NOT at the Manufacturers... How 'bout we start with THAT?... Politicians are fuqqin Idiots... My $0.02...

Truth, brother, I grew up on that...

Five Guys. If you know, then you know. I was crushing the local Woodbridge, VA location in 2009. They're growing, and are badass. They're out west now, with locations in Phx. In-n-Out is a shiitbox compared to Five Guys. Check it. Find one. Travel if you have to. Once you try it...

Exactly. That was the first punch... He brought down salmon, and we cooked it over a firepit last night. @Magwa, I know Deb has all the pictures that Jolene took of the cooking process... THE CRUSHER was the blade that Mike made for them. It's beautiful, it was delivered well after dinner, and it was the fukkin knockout punch...

There's much more to this story, too - @Magwa knocked the Range Owners socks off - Tim and Jolene. He floored them. Not once, but twice...

I like your style. I find restricted shiit for the US sometimes, so I switch my VPN to Canada...

Just got back and unpacked. We ALL got after it! I took the Scrambler 850 up the mountain to put the target camera system in, but couldn't get the thing to sync up, up there. I went up at 4pm on Sat, and the sun goes below the horizon around 5:30pm. I met Tim at the bottom of the hill, grabbed another component for the cam system, went back up, and still couldn't get it to sync up. Slapped a Caldwell flasher on it, radio'd Tim that I was leaving off the north side of the mountain, and when I was clear, I'd radio again for @Magwa to start sending round when I was on my way back. My route back was interesting, to say the least, and I made bad decisions. I went down through a wash that I thought we went down last time - NOPE! I fought large rocks, a dried out tree, several cactus - and there was NO WAY for me to back up... ... Fight on to the Ranger Objective and complete the mission, though I be the Lone Survivor... Did that, got back when he was shooting his 7th round, just got off that fuqn BEAST of a quad, and he fired the 8th, made impact. The sun was low, the wind was blowing towards the sun (west), but I also had a north wind coming into me when I was up there. @JBMatt got up there and did his business with his brand new .300 PRC, made impact, but I wasn't paying attention to the details - I was back in the low lands, and decided I was gonne make that camera system work - set it all back up, had everything on, couldn't make it connect to the IPad... Fuq it. Now, it's MY turn to shoot. Pull out the trusty Win Mag. Last time I was up there, I dialed my 16.9 mils for down here, and came up a full target high. Learned my lesson. THIS time, I dialed 16.4 mils, and Tim yells, "Give him a hundred bucks for a cold bore - I've never offered that to ANYONE, but if he does it, I'll give him a Benjamin!!!..." Well, I heard all this shiit, and I'm laughing to myself - and the sun is now down below the mountains west of us. @JBMatt hogged up all the sun! Sent the first one, and Matt says "3 and a half targets RIGHT! Elevation is good!" Wind died, so I was holding 16.4 mils straight up. No Hundo for me... I measured that target in the scope no less than 3 times, making sure I knew the observed size, asked Matt how far it was off no less than 3 times, confirmed it in my brain - just over half mil wide. I held the 2 mil mark just outside that right edge and sent it... IMPACT! 2nd round impact. Matt is saying "Keep sending them! Keep shooting!" I ran 5 more in a row, missed one, kept shooting my 10 rounds, and ended up hitting 7 out of 10 shots. I hit #s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 & 10. Got that barrel good and hot, in a short piece of time. Hell, I shocked myself... That damn Win Mag WORKS...

It's amazing. It's the 16" barrel, didn't have to do any work to the barrel at all. I run it with 225gr Hornady SST handloads, and the damn thing shoots softer than my 18" .208 Win gas gun that's built almost identical to it. It's a great gas gun cartridge.

Saturday, 8 Nov 25... @JBMatt and I are meeting @Magwa at Parabellum Range just outside of Kingman, AZ bright and early in the morning, to tackle the Patriot Mile up there. 1776 yards. This is gonna be a hoot - there ARE some Shenanigans planned...
