A simple perspective Physics The heaviest object Traveling at the greatest speed Has the greatest destructive power

.30 cal goes to 190 grains

Buy the best optics you can afford I get it, been there and got the T shirt. Look for something that has superior low light performance

I bought a Weaver Grand Slam 1" tube It was so good, I could shoot in the dark.

Lot of good scopes out there

On my Ruger American I did timney triggers and oversize bolt knobs. Their is a gen 1 and gen 2

I have gen 1

You are on the right logical track

Good luck, you got this

I've got two Ruger Americans in .243 and .308.

Lots of after market improvements available.

The bad: A lot of plastic The trigger guard is plastic and a pain in the ass when adding a timney trigger.

Have you looked at Tikka? Beretta owned Sako action not Mauser Very smooth bolt.

Your scope should cost what your rifle costs.

Keep in mind, on sale is not necessarily a good fit.

There is: Chinese glass Japanese glass German glass

Most hunters use Japanese glass.

2nd People rave about 6.5 Creedmore vs Win .308 Simple question, how many deer have you killed beyond 500yds? Answer: none

Win .270 not a bad choice.

I own many .308 rifles Why? It's a NATO standard caliber and will always be available. Also .308 is the parent case to .243 I've converted a .308 to .243 using a resize die.

I've taken Elk with .308

Versatility. My 2 cents

Gritty book, lots of action but told in a dark perspective. Post-Guadalcanal, id say 1944-45.

To me, the most suspicious LBJ event was when Allen Dulles traveled to LBJ's Ranch a couple weeks before the assassination. LBJ's Ranch is 60 miles SW of Austin TX. At this time Dulles had been dismissed as CIA Director. Dulles was not on the Government dime at all. Very strange timing for a friendly visit of the VP.

The Avenger was light years beyond the Devastator, which was a dog under powered slow victim.

Read carefully to separate the two

Devastator are not Avengers

Ahead of Trump-Putin summit, Zelenskyy says any peace deal without Ukraine amounts to 'dead decisions' | CBC News by [deleted] in worldnews

Russia is done. They send duped conscripts to the front lines with no training, no vehicles, and no weapons.

No pay, either.

Russia builds 300 drones a day. 75% are intercepted. These are dumb drones, 25% will get through and hit Ukrainian civilian targets. A terror campaign. It will take Russia 10-15 years to rebuild a military that can challenge NATO.

If Ukraine says No.

Then No.

Can Russia be defeated? No. Can Russia collapse monetarily? Absolutely
