  4. FOR SALE: Lantac Raven TCR (Tactical Competition Rifle) & Accessories: - £1500.00 ONO This was bought brand new for a project that never took off, then by me from @Tomo999 - in that time the arrival of a first child and change of job have meant having to re-evaluate time spent on shooting, and CSR is a bridge too far. Please note that there is no side charging handle (ordered from Lantac like this), you reset the action as per a standard AR rifle, by using the Rainier Arms rear charging handle. Face to face sale preferred, will arrange RFD transfer at buyers expense - I'm at Bisley at least once a month and will travel moderate distances from home (East Hampshire) to complete the sale. No swaps. Up for sale elsewhere. Specs:- 16.5” free floating pro match barrel 1:7 twist chambered for both 5.56mm & .223 Rem. AMS free float 12” handguard Standard USGI trigger Magpul furniture Rainier Arms Raptor ambi charging handle Ambi safety Less than 1000 rounds through it.

  5. Hi Gary - any chance of some pics - I have a lantac in 223 if that would interest you?

  6. With options in the cabinet for 243, 6.5, and 308, I've read this thread with interest. Completely agree with the points re Hilar zone shooting - this or neck should be the standards for the BDS etc. Prioritising meat retention over the certainty of killing and finding a deer is nuts, particularly with current game dealer prices. This approach makes bullet selection less of a factor, but my takes. 243 - hunting, Hornady 95g Super Performance SST, devastating, highly accurate, shot sub-MOA at 900y at Bisley. Use for static shooting of fallow / roe / muntjac from high seats. 243 - range, 105g scenar 308 - hunting, have used Federal Powershok 150g very consistently for all deer, cheap and effective, chrono has shown single figure SD values at points. Recently started using a handload of ELD-X 178g loaded to 2600fps - the BC figures are hard to argue with but have not (yet) taken any body shots. 308 - range, don't generally shoot that seriously but have good results with the (very cheap) GGG 168g which is a Sierra HPBT at 2650 6.5 - range, Hornady ELD-M 147g. Have shot this consistently to 1300m. All of the above based on very limited time to load, so reliance mainly on factory ammo. What is interesting - for every calibre Nathan Foster recommends using the heaviest A-Max / ELD-M head available. This makes a lot of sense ballistically, and the light jackets should give flexibility at ranges where velocity is >=1800fps. This is where the 6.5 gets really interesting, as it has the BC values to be a great range rifle, and is supersonic c.300m further than 308 with conservative loads, with a similar difference in the magic 1800fps barrier. Most of this is about having fun with numbers, but the flexibility of the 6.5CM, and accuracy with easily available factory ammo makes it a real swiss army knife.

    Looks like the centralised data store approach has been dropped - https://www.macrumors.com/2020/06/18/uk-contact-tracing-app-apple-google-api/

    New Zealand, SGP, Iceland - isolated countries with relatively small population and easy to control borders. Also young(er) populations and better public health than UK / US. None of these are international travel hubs as well as international travel destinations. Suppression strategy discussions - https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/covid-19-containment-suppression-strategy/ Lockdown impact - look at the Bristol study - daily death rates peaked at a point where peak infection would be 17.5 days prior, but lockdown started 14 days prior to the peak. In short, the daily infection rate had started to fall before lockdown started. Saving lives - certain things do (isolating the vulnerable, treatment in hospital) other things don't (lockdown). I wouldn't place much faith in Imperial given their track record on this. Have a look at the IFR discussions at https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus - IFR will always vary between countries for various reasons, but ultimately the trend for a new virus is for it to reduce over time. Vaccines can be part of this, but whilst it's something that people want to succeed, the likelihood of a successful preventative vaccine seems low given other COVIDs and high mutation rate

    This is incorrect. Track and trace is a method of delaying spread until there is a preventative vaccine. It is already being accepted that eradication / suppression is not viable strategy, and that lockdown had a very limited impact on the reduction in daily deaths. This 'saving lives' narrative is rubbish - the only meaningful thing an individual can do is avoid contact with vulnerable individuals, period. With c.50% of CV19 infections displaying no symptoms, the idea of a TnT approach which relies on identification through symptoms is flawed. It is clear that treatment options are improving, but a preventive vaccine is years away, and the public / economy have limited tolerance for continuation of methods that are designed to prevent spread. Long term all of the signs point to CV19 responses being a combination of treatment and mild infection risk mitigation steps. The app is a distraction from the inevitable, and the IFR will decrease over time as a result of these factors, and the mortality of the vulnerable who have already been exposed.
