I'm with flounder. anger management and not being a fuckstick is a good place to start. karma, how does it work again?

Really? I'm still waiting to see this AK that will out shoot ANY AR15 out there.

LE Radar works GREAT on Ducatis

There are some accurate factory AR10's out there. Larue on the high end and DPMS LR on the low end of cost. Custom is always an option, and having GAP or Mark at SAC build you one (especially with his new 7mm creedmore variant) is going to be one sweet setup.

That depends on your definition of accuracy. There is a reason that .223 AR's pretty much replaced the M14 pattern weapons in Service Rifle competition. I've shot Supermatch M1A's and while they are nice, its more time, effort and resources to get one to perform as well as an AR. Even then, they require a ton more upkeep to keep them accurate. Mind you, this is staying within the realms of Service Rifle rules. The newer aluminum stocks and such help a lot with accuracy. That said, guess what is trending up in use at Perry? 308 AR's (due to the m110 and other configs being used by snipers, they are now becoming useable in service rifle comps).

I would go DPMS pattern receiver if you do an AR-10 build, just from a mag/accessory stand point.

Biggest downside to the 650r is suspension, although in the newer models they did eventually put some adjustment in there. Second would be the front brake calibers. That said, its a mighty nice street machine.

It's not likely that I'll ride down.

I wouldn't recommend an IWB without a belt for most circumstances. A good belt /holster combo will help distribute that weight so you don't feel bulky on one side. Since you aren't a belt wearer, I would look into a belly band type holster.

Generally speaking, a quality holster is going to retain the weapon better, conceal better, and distribute the weight of the gun better than your $19.99 Uncle Mike's holster. There are a lot of quality holsters in that $50-$75 range, but not as many in the sub $50 range. Heck, a Milt Sparks SSII (which was once THE IWB to have) is more like $100. You're best bet is to check gun forums for folks selling slightly used holsters at a discount. Even better, is to find someone local that has tried various types and has spares lying around that didn't work for them that you can try before making that investment yourself. I've known folks that have spent more than the value of their carry gun on finding a holster that works for their body type and lifestyle.

Back to the 6.5 vs 6.8 bit, I'd go 6.5 for target/varmint or longer range shooting due to better bullet selection (higher BC). However, if you are looking for something to pack more punch than .223 or to be used for game other than varmint, 6.8 SPCII (make sure you get the spcII chamber and I think 1/10 twist) is a better way to go.

Not necessarily. Practically speaking, there are so many factors that come into play, especially at distance, that you shouldn't take the 100y groups at face value and assume its going to hold true at all distances. You could have a rifle that, mechanically speaking, its capable of shooting 1/4moa at 1k, but the combination of rifle, ammo, environmentals (aka WIND), and shooter make it a realistic 1/2 moa. Also, some loads in rifles need to "settle" and you may see an instance where a certain load/rifle combo prints a 1 inch group at 100 yards, 1 inch at 200, and 1.5 inch at 300, 2ich at 400, etc... So at 100 yards, you are able to hold roughly a 1MOA circle, but as the round stabilizes you end up with being able to hold 1/2 MOA circles at further distances. Also, I'm well aware of MOA and MIL being an angular measurement. That said, its common to measure targets and group sizes based upon said angular measure as it shows precision or size relative to distance.

I spotted for Karl and watched him hit 1200yards consistently with a 223 (ok, 223 AI) running an 80gr VLD. Also, 6.5 can be pushed past 1k. I've watched my friend Mark from SAC hit 1165 with his .264LBC running 123gr scenars.

Buy some mk262 black hills. Should give you the little extra to make 1000 a bit easier. I'm thinking I'm roughly 12 mils to 1k with my AR, so an extra 100 FPS would help that out a bit, since I only have about 9 mils of adjustment.

I shoot my 308 out to 1200 yards on a regular basis. It's a 1/4 minute gun at 100, I'm guessing closing to .6-.7 MOA at a grand.

Pro tip: LE doesn't always know the law, especially when it comes to firearms laws. The law regarding CCW in Ohio has been updated quite a few times. And just to make your head explode, both my original ccw and my renewal were obtained without a DD214 or having taken a CCW class.

The hate on Olympic had nothing to do with the lowers, but the quality of the other components.

440 on third gen, not sure on 4th

There hasn't been an open call for talks, but if any come up i'll let you know. Worst case we may force one of our guys to talk on it.

Anyone who has those skillsets and doesn't want to deal with a jackass like Flounder, please contact me.

That's the key in general, virtual or physical be damned.

Let's not forget licensing. That is why folks don't run Oracle on VMWare because Oracle wants to charge you out the ass for it since you aren't running their virtualization product (that they'd charge you out the ass for I'm sure).

Don't forget the CTF competition.

Killer lineup of talks last year, a lot of who's who in security. Plus the 4th ST Live shenanigans. Plus I'm told the barcode stuff actually works now

Depends on your approach to virtualization. A lot of folks underpower their VM infrastructure from an I/O perspective, so when you throw SQL on their its a nightmare. That said, sometimes physical is the only way to go.
