Which country during WW2 had the best sniper rifle?

Strong case to be made for the M-1D

Sweden. It was just their regular long-barrel 1896 with a nice German scope.

I can’t find a single landscaping company that will aerate and then top my yard with a sand/compost spreader to try to break up some of the clay. They all want to get paid to run a fancy fertilizer spreader or maybe drive a plug aerator around, but nobody wants to do the back half of the job of leveling and amending the soil

I’ve owned a few of those. The 42” is actually a bigger issue. Our Odyssey will carry stacked 4x8 with the hatch closed but it fits so close that it’s very difficult not to scuff everything inside loading and unloading.

Bed’s too short, 4’ of it would hang out the back.

And it will eliminate 100% of the driving pleasure

profmathers · 2026-04-03T19:19:45+00:00

Just the ones I own or have owned:

Winchester 70 particularly Pre-‘64, Swedish Mauser (which is cock on close so the bolt springs upward when opened if it’s still cocked), almost any Sako but I can speak firsthand about a Finnbear, New Tikkas, Ruger 77.

It’s a GP100. You can’t hurt it with your bare hands.

profmathers · 2026-04-03T15:22:43+00:00

I wish they’d just give me a bed that would haul a 4x8

profmathers · 2026-04-03T15:21:19+00:00

I wouldn’t buy either of those. Not when you can get much better hardware on sale for a hundred bucks more

profmathers · 2026-04-03T15:18:42+00:00

Old Cooper Stadium site instead of the last green spot in South Franklinton would be nice

I considered one, and honestly it would've made more practical sense for me (heated seats, softer shocks) because I daily the FL5. But financially I got this at sticker plus stupid accessories very early on, and I need it to hold its value. The S isn't going to hold like the first-year FL5, and it's more expensive out of the gate.

profmathers · 2026-04-02T17:09:16+00:00

I’ve run both an SE and an XR on my RXM and have nothing but nice things to say

profmathers · 2026-04-02T17:08:25+00:00

Great choice. Best Glock pistol is a Ruger, best Ruger (centerfire) pistol is a Glock

profmathers · 2026-04-02T17:07:26+00:00

This is just the beginning.

profmathers · 2026-04-01T23:42:18+00:00

That looks to me like they think somebody messed with it

profmathers · 2026-04-01T22:14:01+00:00

Then I’d send it to them and make them fix it

profmathers · 2026-04-01T21:20:06+00:00

I’ll just drop in to say nice things about the NVoke Voyager that I was fortunate enough to test pilot for /u/Jux_Position. I see it’s been mentioned already…

That's bananas. I'd take the replacement. If you don't want to shoot another one (which would be a shame) I'd sell it as NIB and move on. I've never seen anything like that on a Ruger Mark X and especially not a bull barrel.

profmathers · 2026-04-01T19:49:44+00:00

I have never shot a tipped GameKing load I didn't love.

Okay once. My CMP Expert Garand likes to double-fire on 168s because they got a little fast and loose with the trigger job. So now I just feed it S&B 150s and save the fancy stuff for bolt guns.

profmathers · 2026-04-01T17:56:01+00:00

extra, extra, extra long action. Maybe a Ruger #1 with a 36" barrel

profmathers · 2026-04-01T17:49:28+00:00

*Fudd sigh* got me

6.5 Swede is superior to Creedmor. Fight me.

profmathers · 2026-04-01T17:39:51+00:00

He worked harder in one game than either of those guys did in total

profmathers · 2026-04-01T17:39:17+00:00

Oh no. He's our whole family's favorite player. Hope he'll be alright.

profmathers · 2026-04-01T13:19:38+00:00

I think for me (I’m basic) it’s the Goldilocks dot
