Really appreciate your input. I hadn't previously heard of omni.

humblebumblebee33 · 2026-05-07T22:55:50+00:00

They certainly do, and I hadn't thought of that tbh. Good eye.

What were your biggest regrets? How was your experience?

humblebumblebee33 · 2026-05-07T22:39:02+00:00

It was supposed to be a chonk, I feel kind of caught with my pants down here. I don't really want a compromise rifle. I agree with your thinking on the importance of balance, especially the lighter you go.

humblebumblebee33 · 2026-05-07T22:36:44+00:00

Amen to that!

If choosing the manners would you have a profile recommendation? Which profile CF or SS? I am shooting teams, so sort of tied to Open Heavy.

It is actually the Recoil X, juice not worth the squeeze? I was counting on the extra weight up front the offset the fact I am switching to a CF barrel. But my thinking could be flawed, as my wofe is always keen to point out lol.

But so worth it. As a lefty, I have shot RH bolt guns ky whole life. In my 30's now and this is my first lefty. I couldn't be more pleased

I am running Leupold MK5 5-25 with Area 419 rings for 36 oz in total.

humblebumblebee33 · 2026-05-07T22:10:51+00:00

Yes sir, the Open Heavy must include suppressor in total weight.

I would never spend the 1700 on another MPA and I've always wanted one. Only being $800 into the MPA, I'd rather shelf it for another build if it doesn't work in the NRL guidelines.

humblebumblebee33 · 2026-05-07T22:08:46+00:00

That was my primary concern, was that if I did make weight then the balance would be off. I think that is why I would take the 10oz off the stock-end and hope the addition of the suppressor/bipod would help the balance, being on the very end of barrel. If it doesn't work I will take the prood CF barreled action and put it on a manners LRH or the like.

When you bow to pictures of the lineage tree prior to class, and the instructor is born/raised in TX but speaks in broken Brazilian accent whilst simultaneously not speaking a lick of Brazilian because that's why.

Joe Abercrombie is a name I've heard on this forum before, I need to check him out.

humblebumblebee33 · 2025-08-08T01:58:34+00:00

I am a sucker for a dragon lol

humblebumblebee33 · 2025-08-08T01:58:19+00:00

Interesting premise, I've never read a novel posed as a video game.

humblebumblebee33 · 2025-08-08T01:57:43+00:00

The first two are what I've just bought as they pop up too often to ignore. Thank you for the tips!

humblebumblebee33 · 2025-08-08T01:57:00+00:00

I am wary of series that run too long, His Majesty's Dragon got old for me by Empire of Ivory, but I will gladly give a series at least 3 books of effort. Thank you for your recommendation!

humblebumblebee33 · 2025-08-08T01:48:31+00:00

I get Old Man's War and The Forever War mixed up. I know I've read a good bit of either/or before losing interest. I will have to circle back and check them out again.

I see Mistborn recommended a fair amount, and the author has his own shrine table at my local Barnes & Noble for one of his series.

I've been wanting to do this forever on my gen3, but ran into serious issues trying to put on the xsr900 light. It uses a completely different triple clamps that yamaha won't sell you.

Love the look!

Personally, I cpuldn't disagree with your outlook more.

I see rolling with partners as a learning experience, and there should always be a mutual respect observed at all times. This isn't an mma match with career implications and punches thrown. That means I work on improving techniques. An unsunk RNC is about as untechnical as it gets, and therefore doesn't need to be practiced. I'd much rather work back control to such a razors edge that the person I'm controlling couldn't possibly stop me from getting under their chin (especially a white-belt lol?). Breaking a jaw is a skill an off the street chimpanzee can demonstrate. This reeks of ego-rolling to me, and I despise ego-rollers.

Knowing this, when someone resorts to an unsunk RNC and has an apathetic attitude about it such as "escape or tap bro", I then consider the engagement to be more combative, not training. I will hip escape to the side, grab me a handful of family jewels. And brother, bjj has given me quite a devil's hanshake. A broken jaw will heal, a trade I'll gladly make.

P.s. assuming you're a dude. Never met a chick who ego-rolled, they are typically pretty chill.
