I sold $7000+ worth of precision platform and ammo before going OCONUS few years back. The QP who bought them warned me what could transpire....

Not to rub salt in an open wound but you should know we sincerely appreciate your sacrifices; those platforms perform like a house on fire when you've got ammo to feed them. Good thing we anticipated and prepared (aka reloading everything). I've witnessed the Tikka holding a tight 10-ring at 1000 yds and the LaRue doing the same at 600 (can't use it at 1000 because it's sub-sonic). We went to electronic scoring so I'm now using a 6.5 to stay supersonic at 1000 so the ShotMarker will record.
BTW - here's wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
