    Joe Shneehagen accident

    Nah, that time was much worse. Carbonated beverages are no joke, bro.

    Joe Shneehagen accident

    I dropped a 2 liter coke bottle once and all of that stuff happened. Then it knocked an axle out from under a tractor/trailer rig.

    Competition-worthy Shooting benches.

    Well, it’s a relative term isn’t it? 😉

    Competition-worthy Shooting benches.

    Looks super stable and well built. Wonder if it’d be worth incorporating some short of loops on the underside that you can slide short poles into to use as handles when wheels are added? Or maybe even that would also allow for longer poles to be slid into for two man carry (think ark of the...

    Joe Shneehagen accident

    Isn’t one of the provided benefits of carbon fiber wrapped tanks their tendency to not fragment should the liners be taken to a destructive point?

    Gun pics… show me.

    I’ve posted both of these guns in other threads, but only the Wildcat in THIS one. It’s so significantly changed since then though that it might as well be a different gun, so here it is again.

    Element/immersive optics 5x

    Did you happen to see what their price was for the Pro. I’m sure it’s still less than the Element offering, but it’s a more direct comparison.

    Someone talk me out of this…

    Over the years I’ve bought so many things purely out of want, that I’ve lost count. Thing is, I honestly cant remember many of them leaving me with that hollow feeling of buyers remorse. I guess what I’m saying is… I got nothing legitimate for you when It comes to sensible spending advice…...

    Primary Arms prism scope

    I’m interested in this discussion and hope it develops. I’ve recently become a bit of a prism scope convert and now own the 5x and 14x Element Immersive offerings. I enjoy them both, though they are very different from one another. It seems like the 5x focuses a little closer than the 14x but...

    Careful when filling

    Well the OBVIOUS solution to preventing governmental involvement and future regulation is to halt all discussion of filling your own tanks and ban sales of compressors in the classified section. Its the only way to be sure…

    AirMaks Arms Krait Lite .17 vs Quadrant on a Gloomy day

    Given his area, I'd say you're mostly seeing cedar, though for sure there is plenty of Juniper in the Texas hill country. But as a native Texan, yea I agree that it is beautiful. As is that very cool little Krait lite.

    FX Impact picture thread!

    I changed up my M3 since the first picture of it I posted n this thread. This is an effort to eliminate some of the chunky appearance and feel without giving up the big tank.

    Check this out!

    In the late 90s and early 2Ks I bought and sold a fair bit of high end audio equipment. On the forums and selling sites, it was almost universally accepted that FedEx was the shipper of choice, and anyone else was worse than a crap shoot. Savvy sellers made it a point to specify they’d only ship...

    Video/fluid head and bowl tripod seem to be a good match…

    Added a picatinny/arca swiss hybrid clamp to the video head and it’s just great. I had to wait for shipping from China since the only one I could find in the states was the Field Optic Research offering, and I wanted something lower profile. Took the chance on a 75mm Sunwayfoto version off of...
