@Artemis exactly. It's always a cost equation. You can get indestructible unis, but $800 a set is a lot of practice ammo

Yeah. Sure you can hit up a soldier to use as a proxy to buy patagonia gear, but are you really gonna get your money's worth. Also what's up with those cucks at patagonia not wanting to sell to civilians? lol

I've got under armor jungle boots, paired with moisture wicking socks, they do pretty good

Lol, exactly

They are just skirting VAT taxes

Companies that are against people willingly buying their product are pretty stupid

Chrony capitalism

There's a surprising amount of that in the gun world. Companies that make guns or accessories but are staunchly anti 2a.

"No, I do not have a contract for 2k pieces of equipment, but there must be at least 2k people willing to buy your shit"

Take care, I'm taking the wife and kids to dinner before selfishly abandoning them this weekend!

If a company is staunchly anti 2a I just don't buy from them if I can take it

Have a good one

When people are like "if you like guns so much why don't you just join the military you pussy" and go into shock, frothing at the mouth if I reply: I've got respect for soldiers, but fuck the military. I'm not up for being the government's sword.

It's like they can't imagine those two principles existing in the same person

People don't understand that anymore, it's not about the people on the ground but the system that puts them in those situations

Although I guess that can be said for Vietnam, soldiers coming back after being drafted and people being angry at them for a war they didn't ask to be in

Growing up, I always wanted to join. I really liked the idea, and it took literally getting run over by a truck to knock some sense into me. My dad would always tell me that he had the highest respect for soldiers, but not to join because the people running the show weren't trustworthy.

Yeah it's a major problem

Particularly liked the idea of PJ's. I mean, it's cool as fuck to be able to jump out of a helicopter, save some dude's life, kick some ass, and get out alive.

That's actually why I didn't want to join anymore. I started hating government and didn't want to take orders from my enemy.

Are newer gen Glocks superior or just different?

I'm not condoning aliengear holsters as they're trash and have caused people to ventilate their own legs, but this article by them seems to give a decent rundown of the generations.

I'm curious. Is the law folder worth it or is it just another part to break? Wanted to ask here because I don't trust many people. The serpa has nearly a 5 star review on Amazon after all.

I don't think I'd get one because I'm paranoid that something would go wrong

wanting to get into some more distanced marksmanship, What caliber would you all recommend for 600m+ and what optic?

Optics is a massive topic. As for rounds:
308 is good out to 1000 yards and readily available
6.5 creedmoor is good well past 1k and with a competent marksman, can reach a mile. It's fairly available but not as much as 308.
300 win mag will go well past 1k and is accessible but you'll only shoot it twice before saying fuck this my shoulder hurts.

Honestly doubt I would need more than a hundred rounds on standby.

A decent brake helps

For optics, you'll want something quality, possibly more expensive than your rifle. You won't use a thing higher than around 15 power, even shooting at a mile, because the mirage will fuck you up if you zoom in that close.
Vortex, Leopold, Nightforce, schmidt and bender, and kahles are all pretty good, vortex being the only budget option out of the bunch. If you're on a tight budget, probably the vortex diamondback tactical

Also assuming that zeroing something like that in would take forever

You can zero a precision rifle in 3-4 shots if you know what you're doing

Most people struggle with 300m shots especially if untrained or poorly trained. I would assume 600m would give me some cushion.

1. Find out where your caliber will hit at 25 yards with a 100 yard zero
2. Bore sight it at 25 yards and fire one round
3. Shoot one round at 100 yards
4. Hold your rifle still with sandbags or whatever and adjust your scope to center over where your last round hit

Then shoot another to confirm your zero and adjust as necessary

what range could one typically get with a 7.62 Nato?

The maximum effective range is typically seen as 1000 yards. You can push it a little further but that's around when it goes through the transsonic barrier

Once it goes from supersonic to subsonic, it becomes much less stable because it hits its own shockwave

ahhh

But I would be able to hit that 300-600m range still? curious if thatd be worth doing. Just having a zoom zoom put on it and using iron sights if anything were to get to close.

although I figured lower caliber would make it less useful

Oh definitely. It's capable of reaching out to 1k but as probably the most common hunting round, hunters will typically shoot stuff under 100 yards
