  1. Maybe it's detective, you should investigate that possibility. Maybe call the manufacturer too

  3. The goal was to purchase a Remington 700, or Stevens 200, and make it into a project capable of sub-MOA, just for the fuck of it. Last year I stood in a ridiculous line on Black Friday and snagged a Dick's Sporting Goods 700 ADL special for $350 ($450 with a $100 rebate). Here's a pic from when I got it home. (After reading reviews I found it's actually quite capable of shooting what I'm wanting right out of the stupid box, basically negating the entire goal, and making this thread completely and utterly pointless ... shut yer stoopid face I wanted a project) http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/20121123.jpg The 700 came dressed in a hideous mossy oak camo stock, with an oddly pinkish hue in places, the less than silky smooth low-end Rem700 bolt throw, rimfire-worthy optic, and standard Xmark trigger. Lastly and definitely not least(ly?), it sports a 26" Varmint barrel, which is the milkshake that brought me to the yard, as the kids are wont to say. The Xmark trigger I do actually kind of like, though I can see myself going with a Timney or Rifle Basix in the future. Mounted the junk for pics sake and we get this. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/picsay-1353708959.jpg In the spirit of doing something dirt cheap that improves function, or ease of, I purchased a KRG Bolt-Lift. It actually makes a noticeable improvement IMHO and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/bolt_lift_top_zpsd176fd74.jpg After "installing" the bolt-lift, and properly resting my sore wrist from all the crazy torquing and slight positioning adjustments I had to make, I ordered the optic and rings that were going to adorn my rifle. I chose the Millet TRS-1 optic, with Weaver Tactical Rings. However it required some time to ship, so I figured I might as well freefloat the barrel, and paint the stomach-contents emptying stock. The stock is pretty junky, but like I said, people are shooting stupid groups with this plastic nightmare, so I figured I'd paint it "less ugly" and do some baseline groups still wearing the stock ... errr ... stock. After pouring over the limitless color possibilities I landed on a generic camo-green that was already in my garage, did a shitty job, and copying another 700 build on this site, filled the hollow end of the stock with sprayfoam, which as far as I can tell, did absolutely nothing. Here's some pics with all of that finished, plus a Harris bi-pod, and 20 dollar cushioned sling. This was a few months back. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/41debd82-8da5-4337-a8f9-7caf18e80b81_zps14133413.jpg Now I've barely shot this rifle, and the little shooting I have done, has further cemented the tickling parasite in my brain that's telling me that I'm clearly wasting my time, but alas the project must go on. I have been researching stocks that are on the lower end of the price range, I didn't want to spend more on my stock, than on the optic, or rifle itself, so no fancy-pants AICS chassis, JAE-700s, not even a Mcmillan or Manners. More like a basic H&S, Boyds Tacticool, or Varmint Thumbhole or even a Choad in the $100-$300 range. That's when a Slickguns post caught my eye. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/AA700_107_0_zps50754604.jpg That's the Archangel AA700 stock, and it was $188.00 bucks, almost smack dab in the middle of my range. That doesn't look like a $188.00 stock, what with aluminum pillar bedding, adjustable length of pull, and adjustable cheekpiece, 10 round detachable box magazine, weird integrated bi-pod(that damn Harris just fucked my target goal) that I'm just positive is going to break, and barrel channel purposefully made to freefloat a varmint barrel, this thing just has to be a humongous piece of shit. So I bought one, it's in transit now, and I plan on giving a full report on how it performs next time I get out to the range. This should pretty much complete the build, although I may, or may not glass bed the action, depending on the results, and I may cut the barrel down to 20" or so. So far, this is the breakdown. Remington 700 ADL Big Box Special -$350+tax Weaver Rings - $30 Millett TRS1 - $319 KRG Bolt-Lift - $28 + $5 SH Archangel AA700 Stock - $188 + $18 SH Generic Sling - $20 Harris Bipod I may or may not need - $79 So that's just a bit over a grand (certainly not the cheapest budget build) but certainly not even giving the hymen of stratospheric spending potential a finger scare. And all to make a rifle that looks like this ... http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/AA700_107_0_zps50754604.jpg Shoot like this ... http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/20121123.jpg

  7. I find them to be pretty good and what they use in the theaters. Trying tilting your head when watching 3D with active shutter glasses.It goes dark really quick. The glasses are heavy and drag to wear for any length of time. That said, I get tired of watching 3D real quick regardless of the technology used. LG is not bad. I met with them 2x's during CES and they seem to have their act together. BTW - they used to be called Gold Star and did make some cheap ass electronics back in the day. I have an LG LED 3D tv and it's been nothing but awesome for the year I've had it. Panasonic TV's actually rate really well depending on the model line. I used to be a big Samsung fan but the last 3 tv's I've bought from them have all had issues within a few years. One the IR sensor went nuts and would randomly pull up menus. It took a week to find the part online and I was able to replace it but it was a pain. I had a Samsung DLP and the color wheel started screeching after about 6 months. I replaced it and after another 6 months I had the same issue. I finally pawned it off to my brother-in-law.

  8. Linked Brakes? Only shiddy riders need those Touchscreen? Witchcraft.. burn them at the stake Liquid Cooling? Water is for toilets... Harley has what bikers crave... Split Stream Fairing? What is this a motorcycle or a car? windscreens and helmets are for wimps. Floating rotors? what should we make them out of life preservers?

  10. That photo answers the nagging question all of the news feeds I've read that failed to make mention of the race of the accused murdering scumbags much less post any photos. Too bad they can't get the death penalty and of course, no one is going to make a big deal out of another black on white crime except to say something stupid about gun control. I guess there aren't enough angry white men in this country to get it the attention it deserves outside of the MSM.

  21. I don't really have much to say, because I don't have a car... I had 2008 Busa that wrecked in hawking hills I loved that bike, but I'd like to do something different. I also had a 2009 M109R, I sold that because I needed the money and cruisers don't really work for me. I will likely get a liter bike one day... but right now, I want to get a car that I can autocross. Unfortunately, I can't afford both. I'm looking for MR2 2nd Gen... I've added the bikes that I use to own. The busa is stock. The 109R: rear fender eliminator kit with custom plate holder, power commander, light kit, air intakes, and really load pipes. Can someone send me a link to where people are selling cars? http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/horizon1685/slideshow/ http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/horizon1685/media/109rSide_zps85259a95.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/horizon1685/media/109rRear_zpsc0186b4f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/horizon1685/media/BusaSide_zps813713da.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2 http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/horizon1685/media/BusaFront1_zps0970cee6.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3
