It doesn’t necessarily take 8 years here. It can be done in 6. Two years undergrad and 4 years med school. Don’t forget that UK grads are considered foreign in the US and they have to either pass a foreign graduate comp exam or take another year of schooling to be allowed to practice here so add on another year of school or wait about a year to take the exam. Both of which are not cheap.

Lot of beef there. Are the parents penn hip or OFA certified ?

Most recent numbers for 4 years of vet school is $275 to $300K by the time your finished. That doesn’t include doing an internship or residency post grad. Those are usually paid positions but just enough to maybe live on.

I got mine from Magnus Sports in Las Vegas through JJ Racaza. Take a look at Oak Hill Guns in PA too. They have them in stock regularly and the prices are good.

If you buy it new from a local shop or online retailer then just request for 10 round mags in place of the 17 round mags. Thats what I did. Could not be easier.

Welcome aboard! Nice to hear we have a shotgun instructor on board. Shotgun has never been my strong suit. Pistol and bolt rifle is where I spend my time, and thats where my spare cash goes.

All the 1911’s I have had done have been carbon steel in the white and unfinished before the process. I do get your concern about the high heat though.

I like the 155 Lapua Scenars with Varget. Flat shooting at distance. Tiny groups at closer range.

I've had them all and my favorite right now is black nitride. Its not a coating, its a process done to the metal. Also known as tennifer and melonite. If you are good with black then I would look at it.

That’s the price you pay for awesomeness.

I have a Scar 17 and love the platform for what it is...a lightweight , reliable 308 military style combat rifle that’s pretty accurate (easily 1moa at 100y with quality ammo all day long). I have had a 1-6x and 1-8x scope on it to plink steel out to 700 yards. It’s super fun to shoot, easy to clean/maintain (although I rarely clean it), and if I had to carry it around all day on a sling it would be more compact and lighter then an SR25. I got the $300 aftermarket trigger from Geisselle, the nicer forend extension that was another $200 and some other do-dads. That along with compliance work on the mags, compensator, and folding stock probably cost me over $700 from the stock rifle. I dont have an SR25 but I do have a KAC SR15 with a match barrel. Excellent rifle all around. The top of the food chain when comparing Ar15 rifles. Nothing bad to say about it and would never sell it. I do have a JP LRP-07 which is like the SR25. Its big, and heavy, and should be properly maintained at regular intervals. It’s not something I could use in a CQB scenario because of its size and weight. It’s fun to shoot from a stable platform like the ground or resting on a solid barricade. And yes, super accurate. 1/2 MOA if I do my part with quality ammo all day. If I had to choose between the two, I would pick the scar 17 over the 308 AR10ish platform. For me, I have a lot more fun shooting distance with my bolt rifles so that fills that requirement. I really could live without my JP rifle and thought many times of selling it. I have JP Ar15 rifles that I would be just as happy with in the 223 size. Still can get out at distance with the heavier bullets. The Scar is unique though. I have no other rifle in my collection like it. It’s low in maintenance with a real high fun factor. I bought one on a whim and was really happy from the first time I shot it. It never disappoints !

JP enterprise, White Oak, or CLE from a Bartlein or Krieger blank. 1-7.7 to 1-8 twist.

Take a look at the Peterson Cartridge company 300 win mag brass. At the moment they are not making any but production should be back in a couple months. My friend has some in 300 win mag and it's very , very consistent overall. Better then anything else out there. It's worth the wait.

Thanks. Just signed up. Shipping is always a deciding factor for me on whether I’m buying or not. Now I dont have to worry about it for a year.

The newer aimpoint T2 doesn’t distort for me and I have an astigmatism. A little spendy but it makes my eyes happy.
