Remington 700 VTR

Remington 700 VTR

The “VTR” in this version of Remington’s venerable Model 700 stands for “Varmint Tactical Rifle.” Why would someone hunting varmints even need to get very tactical? It’s not like a gray fox is going to return fire or anything.
Either way, you’ll notice that there’s a strong link between rifles designed for precision shooting and those designed for varmint hunting. In the off-the-shelf market, they’re one in the same.

The 700 VTR comes chambered in both .260 Remington and .308 Winchester, both excellent rounds for shooting at long distances, as we’ve already established.

Other perks offered by the 700 VTR are Remington’s X-Mark externally adjustable trigger, the “Super Cell” recoil pad, a contoured 22” barrel, a picatinny rail system, and a tactical barrel with muzzle breaks.
While it’s not exactly “cheap” by most standards, it does have all of the upgrades in one nice and tidy package. Upgrading all of these pieces individually would make this a $2,000 custom rifle, and you still wouldn’t have a scope on it.

BREAKING – Putin Sends THIS Message Directly to the American People. What Do You Think?

Obama’s administration, the mainstream media, and liberals in general continue to point fingers at Russia over the election results, but Russia has had enough.

“Frankly speaking, we are tired of lies about Russian hackers that continue to be spread in the United States from the very top. The Obama administration launched this misinformation half a year ago, in a bid to play up to the required nominee at the November presidential election and, having failed to achieve the desired effect, has been trying to justify its failure by taking it out with a vengeance on Russian-US relations,” stated Russia’s foreign policy website.

Many of the American people are tired of listening to the left continuously say that the Russian hacking is the reason Donald Trump is president.
Not only is this offensive to Russia, which has continuously stated it had nothing to do with the information given to WikiLeaks, but this is also offensive to Americans who worked hard to make sure Donald Trump was elected

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has also come forward many times and said he did not get the emails from any government and, specifically, not from Russia. It wasn’t a “hack;” it was a leak, meaning it came from someone on the inside.
However, the liberals would rather point fingers at Russia and say they influenced the election, creating a rocky relationship between Obama-led America and Russia. Thankfully, we only have a couple more days to deal with that.

Donald Trump will soon be inaugurated as the next president, and he and Putin have already had many talks to strengthen the ties of our two countries. Obama knows this, and by implicating Russia, he is only trying to make us turn against Trump.Vladimir Putin has stated that if Washington is moving to take hostile steps, then Russia will respond, but many Americans do not want tense relations or war to break out! I don’t know why Obama is making it his life’s mission to ruin everything Trump has planned, but he’s only hurting the American people.

One can only hope that Obama won’t do anything drastic during his final days as president. He should think about the American people and leave Russia alone because we should have peaceful ties with Russia if we can. The Americans who refuse to believe the lies of the Democrats and the mainstream media know Russia did not have anything to do with the WikiLeaks information, which simply showed us the truth about Hillary Clinton and her campaign.

Thankfully, Donald Trump will soon be in the White House, and all the terrible things Obama implemented against this country will be changed. We will be a great country once again!

Paratrooper Version of the  SAW? FN’s  New M249S Para

The new M249S Para from FN offers shooters a semi-auto version of a classic military firearm.

Building on the popularity of the already released M249S semi-automatic version of the SAW light machine gun, FN is releasing the M249S Para (or Paratrooper) model. Originally developed for airborne troops in its original form, the Para is fourth addition to the company’s Military Collector Series of semi-automatic versions of classic military firearms.
According to John Keppeler, senior vice president of sales and marketing for FN America, LLC, “You’ll notice only two major differences between the semi- and full-auto versions (of the M249S Para) – the barrel length and reconfigured internal components to change the rifle’s operation from open-bolt to closed-bolt. Authenticity was critical in this series and we changed as little as possible.”
According to a press release on the Para, the rifle features a machine gun-grade, 16.1-inch, cold hammer-forged barrel, closed bolt for semi-automatic only operation, classic M249 flip-up feed tray, integrated steel bipod, robust gas-piston system, and the iconic telescoping and rotating buttstock, making it lighter and more compact. Rifles will be available in either black or Flat Dark Earth (FDE).

Federal Court Rules Police Can Shoot a Barking or Moving Dog While Entering a Home

A federal court in Grand Rapids, Michigan, ruled that police can shoot a dog while entering a home if the animal “moves or barks” in the officer’s presence.
The decision is the final step in a case brought to court by Mark and Cheryl Brown of Battle Creek, whose pit bull was killed while officers were executing a search warrant on their home in 2013.
The couple claimed that officers “unlawfully seized their property in violation of the Fourth Amendment when officers shot and killed two dogs while executing a search warrant.”
An officer testified that he shot the first dog when it appeared to move “a few inches” and lunged at him. The dog fled to the basement, where the officer shot and killed it. Court documents reveal that another officer killed the second dog after it too ran to the basement and barked at the officers.
Judge Eric Clay’s decision ruled that the Browns failed to provide evidence that the first dog did not lunge at police and that the second dog did not bark.
“Given the totality of the circumstances and viewed from the perspective of an objectively reasonable officer, the dog poses an imminent threat to the officer’s safety,” the ruling reads. “The standard we set out today is that a police officer’s use of deadly force against a dog while executing a search warrant to search a home for illegal drug activity is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment when … the dog poses an imminent threat to the officer’s safety.”

Obama Administration Yanks Second Amendment Rights from SSI Recipients

Obama Administration Yanks Second Amendment Rights from SSI Recipients

Last week, the Obama administration put the finishing touches on a new policy that would deprive recipients of disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) of their Second Amendment rights. The administration will now characterize those citizens as "mental defectives," thereby having their ability to own a firearm subject to the federal Gun Control Act.

Supplemental Security Income helps blind, disabled, and elderly people with little to no income.  Previously, it was understood that "mentally defective" referred to one's mental health. Citizens who have been institutionalized against their will are restricted from owning a firearm. The new definition of "mentally defective" has nothing to do with being mentally ill.

The Social Security Administration released its final decision after a period of open comments that drew more than 91,000 responses, including a response from the NRA. Although Obama likes to empty out Guantanamo Bay of dangerous terrorists and commute the sentences of criminals guilty of breaking federal firearms laws, he doesn't like law-abiding American citizens to possess firearms.

Sponsored

The NRA submitted comments to the Social Security Administration, but the issues raised by the gun rights association were ignored.

For example, the SSA did not attempt to answer most of the legal questions raised about its authority, instead deferring to an overbroad and problematic ATF regulation defining who counts under the federal Gun Control Act as a “mental defective” and to Department of Justice guidance on reporting. The SSA did not explain why, some two decades after the federal background check system came online, it was reversing its earlier determination about its reporting responsibilities and only now asserting a mandate to do so.

Incredibly, the SSA also brushed aside empirical evidence the NRA submitted suggesting that the proposed rule would have no public safety benefit. “We are not attempting to imply a connection between mental illness and a propensity for violence, particularly gun violence,” the SSA wrote. “Rather, we are complying with our obligations under the NIAA, which require us to provide information from our records when an individual falls within one of the categories identified in 18 U.S.C. 922(g).” This would seem to be the very definition of the sort of arbitrary and capricious rulemaking prohibited by the Administrative Procedures Act.

Most notably, the new rule does not make clear how an individual could appeal the agency's decision to deny Second Amendment rights. Writes the NRA, "The rule would not provide those subject to its terms the ability to defend their suitability to possess firearms before the actual loss of rights took place. In other words, it offers no due process on the question of losing Second Amendment rights."

Instead, a victim of the new regulations would have to petition for his constitutional right to own a gun because he poses no threat to the public safety. Has it even been established that SSI recipients are responsible for the "gun violence" the administration has been targeting? Do we know what percentage of gun criminals are on SSI?

This new authority the administration has granted itself is in line with Obama's previous efforts to give himself extra-constitutional powers. Let's hope President-elect Trump will change course and do something about this ridiculous new policy.

How to Make Your Own Survival Fire Putty (AKA Napalm)

Step One: Gather Your Ingredients

Round up these necessary items and you’re ready to get started. Most of these items you probably have laying around the house.
· Styrofoam (bowls, plates or cups will do)
· Acetone (nail polish remover) or Gasoline
· Matches
· Plastic Bottle
· Scissors or Knife
· Plastic Gloves

Step Two: Get Your Base Ready

The bottom portion of a plastic bottle will work well as a base for creating survival fire putty. However, it is important to note that this is not a good long-term storage solution for the putty or the ingredients that are used to make it. Simply cut the bottom portion off of your bottle and you’ll be ready to move on to the next step.

---

Step Three: Pour Your Acetone in the Base

Grab the bottle of nail polish removal and fill up the bottom of the bottle about a third of the way, as shown in the image below and the nearby video. If you prefer, you can use gasoline instead.

Step Four: Add the Styrofoam

You can rip up Styrofoam plates or cups and add them into the acetone or gasoline. Keep in mind that it must be pure Styrofoam in order for this survival fire putty trick to work. In other words, if the item you rip up does not work, that means you need to select a different Styrofoam item to rip up.

Step Five: Form the Styrofoam

It will be necessary to put several pieces of torn up Styrofoam into the bottom of the bottle, and you may need to put a bit more acetone or gasoline on top of it. You need to push the Styrofoam down to make it all fit and to shape it. You can use a pencil or a twig to help you accomplish this part of the process. The yellow in the image came from the pencil.

Step Six: Put On Your Plastic Gloves

If they’re not on yet, it is now time to don your plastic gloves. Make sure you are using gloves that will not dissolve from acetone or gasoline.

---

Step Seven: Pull the Putty Out and Finish Forming It

After you have mashed all of the Styrofoam tightly together with a pencil or stick and let it sit for a few minutes, your survival fire putty should be ready to come out of the bottle. Again, if you are going to handle your creation, you MUST be wearing durable gloves that are able to handle acetone and gasoline.

Step Eight: Put the Survival Fire Putty in Place and Light it Up!

It is best to put your fire putty on a log or other surface that can handle fire. The gasoline one produces a much higher and more intense flame, but they both work. Also, the acetone survival fire putty does not let off as much smoke.
In this particular experiment, the acetone putty burned for 4 ½ minutes in the rain before it went out. This gives you a good amount of time to get a larger fire going by placing kindling and wood over the putty. The gasoline lasted one minute longer if you need more time.

Ultimately, the advantage of making survival fire putty with Styrofoam instead of simply pouring gasoline or acetone on wood is that the Styrofoam helps the fire burn stronger and hotter. This makes it much easier to get a solid fire going that, if well-tended, will last through the night. Make sure you are careful at all times while working with this substance as the base components are the same items that were used to make napalm!
