I just completely reinvented what I did. I just took my skills to academy gun bar and just worked my way up. I also told by corporate America boss to fucking eat a bag of dicks when Covid hit. So I was kind of committed lol.
Stop thinking of learning COBOL or becoming a certified quick books person. Find something you can do part time (weekends or nights or whatever) and then lean on that when you have to. Look at dump trailers. Everyone needs those - I was going to buy and rent them in Georgetown before I moved. Homeowners that are doing demo or cleaning out the garage as well as trade companies that need to flex up or down due to market conditions. You can finance one for like $200 a month. Renting it once pays for that and you just fine tune the plan as you go. Anything that is the opposite of what you’re doing is what I would do. I fucking got a job at academy during covid, worked 4 jobs at once in the gun industry (7 days a week for 2 years at 3-4 jobs at a time) and now I’m on pace for 300k in 2026 selling guns.
Check the recoil rating. I’ll be honest - I’d be very surprised if you need a 300wsm or anything like that for thermal work. I mean if you do then great. I just can’t envision it but all I do is hog stuff under 100 yards. I do want to do some coyote stuff at longer distances but damn nowhere near 300 magnum territory. Full send though. Sell that ATN and never look back.
Full send on iRay. Quality gear. You will have to co-witness on each gun, but you can save them in settings (gun 1, etc) so just make sure you adjust when you switch guns.
We’re just not a very well coached team. I don’t know what all of the problems are or why, but massive changes are needed. Banks needs to be gone Akina and Orphy probably too Flood needs to go Scott too And the WR coach Need an OC Millwee can go too So we need- A new OC/QB coach A new OL coach A new TE coach A new RB coach A new safeties coach A new CB coach We’re going to have to go hard in the portal- OL RB WR DB Edge What a mess.
The SW 340PD. Scandium and titanium. We’d get those in the shop every once in a while and it was like picking up a piece of paper. No thanks on those. Or really any revolver - not my cup of tea. If I’m in Alaska sure.
It may be, I just don’t know. There are only about 4-5 brands I would entertain owing but this isnt necessarily my wheelhouse knowledge wise. If you want to talk DS1911’s, nobody moves more of those in the country than I do.
I dont know anything about them. I run an AGM Rattler. They’re solid. Don’t buy into the “600 yard” hype or whatever on thermals. This is a sub 200 yard game for the most part. 384 minimum. 640 preferred. I have a 35-384.
Just built this custom rig for my girlfriends son. Manners LRH-NV Kelbly custom receiver Helix 6 CF barrel cut to 22” Nightforce 2.5-20x Red Wolf Gun Works in burnet did the build. He was the gunsmith at Guns Warehouse for years - now just does custom builds and a little repair work when time permits. Got it Friday. Dead deer this morning. 25 Creedmoor.
The reasoning internally at WF was to make sure the bigger checks cleared - Mortgage, car payment, etc. But we knew the reason was more fees. USAA FTMFW
