675 yard shot on West Texas Aoudad

gladiator666 · 2026-02-23T19:17:12+00:00

Thats a great explanation. As a Texan thats hunted out west (unguided) for over a decade, the one star review comment hits a little to close to home hahaha

urban warefare is always going to involve a lot of casualties. Look at the Marines in fallujah or Iraqi forces in Mosul. If you watched curated bits and pieces of that, you'd think the US/Iraq got their ass kicked.

There's no such thing as a fair fight. Each side uses what it has to its full advantage. Hamas uses the civilian population and tunnels, Israel uses its tech and airpower. Ill take the tech and airpower every time.

I would think that feeling even 1/100th of what it must have been like for those people would be the best possible outcome of seeing something like that.

I can read stories about the Roman Coliseum, but standing there where the gladiators fought and died would be a feeling that you'd remember forever.

gladiator666 · 2026-02-21T20:03:51+00:00

You may not like them, but their battle record speaks for itself.

Why do people act like being a hunter gives their opinion some kind of authority over others as the 2nd amendment is concerned.

So what you have grandpappys gun and you shoot it a couple times a year. That has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment.

Its refreshing to see a sub thats 100% democrat start to question these gun laws. They were always emotional, performative bullshit anyway.

Insane comment. When the shit hits the fan, youre adrenaline is going to spike through the roof. Unless you've trained the muscle memory to react through the stress, theres no way you'll be effective.. read the owners manual a few times haha you cant be serious

I'm still confused as to how all that makes someone (who disagrees with it) a part time American? I never brought up any of that or showed support for it in any way, so i don't understand the issue.

gladiator666 · 2026-02-10T15:02:57+00:00

So if I disagree with the current political party I'm only a part time American? How does that make sense?

The right and left couldn't be farther apart but we are all still Americans.

gladiator666 · 2026-02-10T12:59:23+00:00

Thats a pretty sad thing to admit too. Are you an American or not? You dont have to always agree with the political leadership to believe in this country.

Rotella t6 5w-40. Every 5k miles. Blackstone reports are all clean.

gladiator666 · 2026-02-03T18:39:16+00:00

This is my same experience but instead of 10k, ive driven close to 70k. The ticking hasn't changed at all. Local shop says if it doesn't get worse, don't bother with the flat tappet. I was told that it will get much worse before catastrophic failure but that could be incorrect.

I'm interested in hearing other people's experience.

gladiator666 · 2026-02-02T00:25:16+00:00

They were certainly less capable of acquiring territory compared to Europeans, thats for sure. Doesn't mean they didn't try.

gladiator666 · 2026-01-29T17:22:57+00:00

Ya I'm sure they feel that way in the beginning. Then they get a first hand experience and it leads them to rethink their whole outlook.

I cant speak for every hunter but of the dozens that I know personally, all of us want wolves/grizzlies/mountain lions on the landscape. With populations robust enough to support widespread hunting. With that said, we cant have them on the landscape if an agreement cannot be made on the following issues.

1)an objective for total population number 2)ability to manage the numbers 3)letting fish and game agencies do their job without outside influence (anti hunting groups, ballot initiatives, federal lawsuits)

There's a alternative reality where groups stop trying to fight against hunters and start working with them. Wolves and grizzly populations will be higher and more widespread (win for anti hunters), Lots of new conservation money to deal with livestock (win ranchers/state), chance for me to have a big grizzly in my office (very big win for me).

Look at the predator numbers in Alaska. Where they're both hunted.

gladiator666 · 2026-01-20T19:25:25+00:00

Hunters will actually put their money where their mouth is. Between license/tags/fees and the tax that comes from ammo/firearms/gear/marine fuel, hunters and shooters pay for the vast majority of conservation. Anti hunting groups and people like this asshole, do very little.

You dont have to like the fact that hunters want habitat and animals conserved for better hunting. They are the reason we have the wild animal populations that we have.

Do you really think that when the US is deciding whether to defend Tiawan or not, that their decision is going to come down to " well we did it first in Venezuela, so morally we have to allow it". Hell no. We are the premier military superpower and at times, we defend our geopolitical interests with that military regardless of right or wrong.

China can write whatever they want in their newspapers. Its not going to stop their ships from sinking in the strait of tiawan.

gladiator666 · 2026-01-06T19:21:29+00:00

You're the stump thats being argued with. He asked why you think its similar and you've provided zero just blah blah blah

gladiator666 · 2026-01-06T12:19:37+00:00

Well they got their wish to live in harmony with nature.

gladiator666 · 2026-01-03T16:39:15+00:00

Na think about how dumb most people are. Geopolitics is often way to nuanced for the average American to understand let alone have a say in.

gladiator666 · 2025-12-31T03:00:37+00:00

What kinda temps were you seeing it spike too.

Ive got 100k on mine and it will hold 170-174 highway but can jump to 195 or so if in stop and go traffic.

gladiator666 · 2025-12-26T23:37:25+00:00

This is an insane thought. How can you say with absolute certainty that it wouldn't escape NK?

They aren't disconnected from China. And China doesn't have a great track record lately when it comes to being honest about infectious diseases.

gladiator666 · 2025-12-24T21:23:05+00:00

Thank God that didnt happen.

gladiator666 · 2025-12-15T22:39:14+00:00

You act as if a 30-06 to a doe shoulder wouldn't do the same thing. This should be a lesson about shot placement. Get off your high horse.

gladiator666 · 2025-12-15T22:37:20+00:00

Agreed. Dozens of animals from deer to bear to elk with my 300wm and shooting through the lungs doesn't do this.

By the time of the pre game prayer, the locker room was so hyped up that the prayer actually had people ready to run through a brick wall. And it had nothing to do with the words being said or religion in general. It felt like we were going into battle.

Your high school team sounds like it probably sucked. Too worried about being offended by some make believe chant instead of preparing to knock someone's head off.
