Curious if anyone has tried the open source Tirailleur ballistics calculator? Looks like it publishes to F-Droid for android installs. I love to support OSS, and am hoping this app might work.
I'm new to precision shooting, trying to prep for NRL22. I'm shooting a Tikka T1x with the vertical grip and a custom cheek riser. I'm not new to fitting a rifle for general purpose shooting. I have a 4-16x vortex scope and I'm having trouble setting the eye relief.
If I set it up for standing, sitting, kneeling and barricade use, it's way too close when prone. I've been following some position basics videos, mostly from MDT and Gunwerx, and raising my bipod all the way up helps somewhat. Is there a trick to setting the eye relief to be functional for all positions I'm going to encounter in an NRL22 or PRS match?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but does anyone know where the information on what the state is doing with the 6% ammo/firearms tax? I know it's easy to answer with snark, but I'm genuinely interested to find out where that money goes and how much has been collected, if available. Thanks!
I bet the voters wouldn't be too happy if they knew the money wasn't being spent as the bill promised.
>... use the new tax revenue to fund crime victim support services, mental health services for veterans and youth, and school safety programs.
The bill also states that the maximum distribution for administrative costs is 0.2-0.4 million. They are taking in more than 3 times that every month.
Update: The Dept. of Revenue issues a monthly report on how much this tax collects each month.
On my last trip for a wedding, I flew with a 45l carry on (Mystery Ranch Rover). A connecting flight was cancelled, but I got on a standby flight at the last minute. However, they forced me to gate check as in, "you can gate check or stay behind." The bummer was I had a laptop, expensive binoculars, and some other fragile items I was sure would get damaged by checking the soft bag.
Fortunately, I had packed my wife's 25l Eddie Bauer tote bag to use during the trip. I was able to pull out all the stuff I cared about about and keep that under the seat. I think I'm going to make sure and always pack something like that tote bag in case this happens again, which seems likely since the overhead bins now fill up so quickly.
I'm looking for a local shop in/near Colorado Springs with a good selection of 22lr competition target ammo? Scheels has 3 flavors of Eley (but one was out of stock), but I haven't been able to find SK, Aguila, RWS, Federal Automatch, or any other precision 22 ammo in town. Any suggestions, or do I need to stick with online ordering?
Greetings all. I've been setting up a Tikka T1x rimfire for NRL22. Sticking with the OEM stock for now. I want to add a cheek riser and am looking for anyone's experience with either the Mountain Tactical Cheek Riser or the Victor Titan Universal Cheek Rest.
I'm inclined to go with the MT, since it's adjustable. They both look pretty easy to install.
I thought this was an interesting read - mentions the Denver and CO State lawsuits.
>Is the regulation addressing risk or reasserting control over who gets to manufacture?
...
The harder question now is how far upstream the regulations should go and what happens when it reaches the point where machines themselves, and the computers that hold files, become arbiters of intent. Because at that point, a 3D printer is no longer just a tool. It’s a participant.
I've had a Ruger 77/22 VBZ with a Volquartsen trigger since the late 90s. I've only shot it a maybe a dozen times and it just never clicked with me. It feels like a full size rifle and the 3 position safety is the best, but it's not terribly accurate and it's really heavy.
I see that they are worth quite a bit of money. I want to try NRL22, and want to get a Tikka T1x. I'm not hard up for money, but I'm considering selling the Ruger to help fund it and make room in the safe. Anyone think I'll regret selling it? I look at it and think, that's a really nice rifle, but I just don't enjoy shooting it.
The DOJ Second Amendment Section allows you to report 2A civil rights violations. They just filed a lawsuit against Denver City/County for it's weapons ban. Imagine if every Colorado Gun owner clicked that link and submitted a civil rights violation. Here's some of your rights you can ask them to advocate for:
Or, pick your own issue. There's really no reason not to report Colorado's civil rights violations. Click the link and enjoy!
