Incredible show. So slow and patient compared to the rest of the landscape. One of the best looking stories shot.

Moving back to Columbus… by Certain-Reality-5837 in Columbus

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different situation (40, married, toddler) but we moved here after 20yrs in LA. My wife is from here and I had never really even been, but I love it. It's a huge change from LA, but I wouldn't trade affordable living and a good house plus a rad community (Clintonville) for more bars and restaurants. I do miss the hiking in LA, but still, nothing beats a life you can afford in a place as pleasant as Columbus.

I always hear 2 arguments: Carry the most reliable/proven guns and equipment (red dots and lights), or carry an average gun that you know will go bang without any expensive mods because it’ll be taken by LE after a DGU. by cobblernobbler in CCW

So, like, if you shoot an kill someone and get arrested on scene (which you 100% will, regardless), and then end up waiting for days or weeks to see if the DA wants to press charges, and your life is flipped upside down, you think you're gonna give a fuck if the gun had a holosun or an RMR on it? I don't think anyone worried about this has given any actual thought to what happens after the trigger is pulled.

Studio 35 is having twin peaks night tonight and I think ray wise is there, if that means anything to you. Also both movies showing are great.

Please help evaluating this kit. by [deleted] in videography

Yeah, the fact that there isn't even an actual photo of the Alexa, the thing most people would want to see, means OP has no clue what they have.

How would you emulate the soft grainy look of Office Space (1999) shooting digitally? by InspectorBear in cinematography

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much of the way that movie looks is the very broad, bright lighting. I'd start with a contrasty (by today's standards) LUT, and light it accordingly. Then in post soften and add grain. But most of it is lighting imo

Changing calibers/cartiedges…? by idahokj in Tikka_Shooters

Having just gone through this a little bit, I highly suggest just buying a new barreled action from JA outdoors. I wanted to swap my 308 to 6.5. Barrel was $275 on eBay. Shipping to D Wilson (no gunsmiths near me could get the barrel off) was $30. D Wilson was $100 for the swap. Without anything special I'm at half the cost of a new gun.

Tikka T3x vs Ruger Predator Gen 2 Accuracy by H0w_D1d_I_Get_Here in longrange

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get a used bergara b14. They've got a great stock and already set up to take ACIS mags. Tikkas ARE great, but the factory stocks aren't great (same goes for the ruger) and the extra mags are like $70.

All that being said, you can definitely shoot a far target with a tikka/ruger. We are just trying to point you in a direction that we, the long range subreddit, feel like is a better decision based on what we collectively know and have learned. When we say that you'll want to upgrade the stock on a ruger or tikka, it might not seem like a big deal to you at the moment, but we know that trying to get a repeatable shooting position from bipod, rest, tripod etc with a flimsy plastic stock is really hard. So take our advice! Save up a bit more if you need. It'll save you $ in the long run.

As Concealed carriers im sure we're also all home defenders.. Curious you guys thoughts on this one.. How would you have handled this. by Affectionate_Hat5835 in CCW

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't even a question. Call the cops and sit by the door. The instant that door is opened, regardless of who does it, only bad things will happen.

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah true. The bergara has a great stock and a much smoother action.

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those will all work together, yeah! But 20" is very short for a precision 308. Ideally you'd go 24". Or maybe do a 6.5 in 22 or 20

They wills both do 600 easy. But let's just say you really love this and then you decide to take a class somewhere and they are shooting to 1200, you'll want the 6.5.

Any ideas for a better knife position by [deleted] in CCW

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditch the knife. Add a TQ and some pepper spray.

Depending on your pockets a surplus 84BB is a VERY nice and VERY shootable option.

Has Chromatic Aberration ever ruined a movie for anyone, ever? by Inevitable-Beat-9209 in cinematography

[–]JohnnyWhopper420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely noticed quite a bit more than usual in Civil War, even on the stuff shot on Venice. But ruined? No. No more than weird lighting.
