Pre '64 Winchester Model 70 was always the grail. Now most of the custom makers like the Rem M700 action. Seekins, Surgeon, little unknown shops all over the place use the M700 action as a basis. Put a good ER Shaw barrel that has been cryo treated on one and get one of the new "platform" stocks and roll your own...

[American Thinker] Federal Law enforcement appears to be adopting methods more suitable for the KGB or Stasi.
CNN’s exclusive news coverage of Roger Stone’s arrest was a big mistake. It reminded sentient people of the Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Elian Gonzalez raids. Smirking CNN snowflake David Shorttail claims he had a "gut instinct" to show up before 6 A.M. at Stone’s house. CNN’s Alisyn Camerota told Shorttail, "You were there before sunrise.
It came as a surprise to you." She elaborated, "What's so fascinating is that we've talked to his attorney, the attorney didn't know this was coming. Clearly Roger Stone didn't know this was coming. You were staked out at his house, you didn't know that this was coming. Why were you there in position?" Shorttail responded, "Alisyn, it's a reporter's instinct." No one outside the FBI knew this was coming. Yet David Shorttail was in the right place at the right time.
Shorttail claimed it’s "standard operating procedure for the FBI to show up heavily armed like this but they didn’t do this for other people connected in the investigation. So it is remarkable that they did this without warning without any indication to Stone’s lawyers beforehand." He might believe this was an unprecedented move by the FBI because he asserted, "When Paul Manafort... was arrested, he surrendered at an FBI field office in Washington. He walked in the front door with his lawyers and that was in the morning around 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. I was there, as well, for that surrender. This? Very different." Manafort was also subject to a predawn raid. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (who possibly served with Nathan Phillips in Vietnam), a member of the Judiciary Committee and a former U.S. attorney, called the Manafort search "a significant and even stunning development." Blumenthal claimed these raids are generally reserved for "the most serious criminal investigations dealing with uncooperative or untrusted potential targets." It appears that the Manafort raid has fallen through Shorttail’s Orwellian memory hole.

Maybe there should be FBI sensitivity training for higher-ups in the FBI where Agents show up at 4:00 a.m., at your front door, kick it down and arrest you.
[NYP] After nearly 17 frustrating years of war, the first serious ray of hope has emerged from Afghanistan that could pave the way toward a US troop withdrawal and a political settlement.
Could: Lots of uncertainties and unanswered questions remain. And a straight bugout would risk the same kind of catastrophe that followed President Barack Obama’s unilateral pullout from Iraq, which rapidly produced the rise of ISIS.
Chief US negotiator Zalmay Khalilzad says he’s reached a draft agreement in principle under which the Taliban will guarantee not to let Afghan territory serve as a base for terrorists. That’s vital: The Taliban’s hosting of al Qaeda led directly to 9/11.
And the tentative accord ‐ according to Khalilzad, though the Taliban are already talking otherwise ‐ dictates further conditions before a full US pullout.
In particular, the Taliban haven’t agreed to a ceasefire before any withdrawal, which Khalilzad says is a condition of any deal moving forward. And he admits that just how any agreement is to be monitored and enforced must still be "fleshed out."
Another issue: The US-backed Afghan government was not a party to the talks, and the Taliban still haven’t agreed to deal with it directly. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has backed the negotiations, saying he wants "peace quickly" ‐ but warned of the need to "not repeat past mistakes."
Right. As President Trump noted in 2017 of Obama’s hasty Iraq withdrawal, "Our hard-won gains slipped back into the hands of terrorist enemies." That’s why Trump set aside his initial instinct to leave Afganistan quickly and opted to make another military effort, based on "principled realism."
[Bearing Arms] Years ago, I got into an argument with a guy from Venezuela. He kept talking about how awesome his country was, and I disagreed. I told him where his country was going to end up if it continued its socialist ways.
In recent years, I’ve wondered where that guy is, and have thought if he’s still talking about how awesome Venezuelan socialism is too.
Now, things are bad down there. No doubt you’ve all seen the reports. You’ve all seen the stories about what all Venezuelans are eating because they have nothing else to eat. It’s very ugly.
A former minister of the South American nation says what happens next will be up to the "guys with guns."

‘Guys With Guns’ Will Determine Venezuela’s America's Future?"
[Townhall] This weekend NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg commended President Trump’s tough rhetoric for the alliance and explained how it has produced real results. In the past two years Trump has often demanded more financial contributions from the other members because it's unfair that the U.S. "is paying for 90 percent" of NATO. At last July's summit, he even called the other nations "delinquent." They committed to spend two percent of GDP on defense, but they are "nowhere close" to reaching that demand. Thanks to Trump's tough talk, however, many of those countries have now pledged to increase their contributions.
[Hot Air] It’s easy being a prophet in hindsight, as anyone who ever wrote a book about their time in an administration could attest. On the other hand, how tough would it have been to predict that firing Michael Flynn wasn’t going to end the Russia-collusion curiosity? "As it turns out, I undersold it," Chris Christie told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s Good Morning America. He thought it might last a year, but we’re going on two with no end in sight:

They would have happily moved on to something else, if there were anything else to move on to — but everything they tried slid right off for him. And as long as the news media continue to get excited about it, it’s still working.
[Ynet] The Arab world is becoming increasingly aware of the fact that Iran is the primary problem of the region, and are responding accordingly; they are in line with Israel on this issue, so why is the progressive West refusing to see it?
A major economic conference was supposed to take place last week. There was no international clamor, there were no demonstrations on campuses, the BDS anti-Israel brigade were nowhere in sight, but the conference still failed due to a boycott.
Surprisingly, this wasn't a conference that was supposed to be held in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem‐it was the Fourth Arab Economic and Social Development Summit, held in Beirut and boycotted by the leaders of the Arab countries, with the exception of Qatar

so why is the progressive West refusing to see it?
The same "progressive" West where parents refuse vaccination for their children. The "Elites" believe in AGW despite all the evidence to the contrary. Differences between genders are assumed to be cultural, and mental cases undergoing sex-change operation are assumed to become women?
The new treatment is being developed by Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies under the leadership of CEO Dr. Ilan Morad, according to the report.
"We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer," said Dan Aridor, chairman of the company’s board. "Our cancer cure will be effective from day one, will last a duration of a few weeks and will have no or minimal side-effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments on the market."
The treatment, called MuTaTo, will use a combination of cancer-targeting peptides and a toxin that will specifically kill cancer cells.
The treatment will eventually be personalized and a specific cocktail of the drugs will be given to patients based on their type of cancer, Morad told the newspaper.

>he treatment, called MuTaTo, will use a combination of cancer-targeting peptides and a toxin that will specifically kill cancer cells.
So it's chemotherapy. If they could show any hints or science behind their specificity I might be inclined to not think bullshit, but at the moment this seems TGTBT i.e. bullshit.

I agree with g(r)omgoru, I remember as a kid, collecting money for cancer research and being told by some professor that we would soon have a cure for cancer, did not happen.
#5
Cancer is cured (or delayed so people die from other stuff like ageing) much more than in the past.
Only CRISPR+++ changing the genome (or epigenetics of a similar order) has a chance to truly CURE cancer as the genetic weaknesses that stop apoptosis of cancerous cells are still there once the cancer is removed.
#7
Springing up all over. Notice they're called "cancer treatment centers" not cancer cure centers. Perhaps I'm being too harsh, but I can only go on what I sees.
#8
If true, Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies will be 'bought' out - by whatever means necessary - by Merck or Bayer or whoever, to protect their lucrative chemotherapy market.
#9
I have serious doubts but really it would be amazing if true.
It would also give the left something to cheer to avoid giving Trump credit for economy, increasing world piece, etc, so if it does turn out real it'll be 10x the normal glowing coverage.
[Babylon Bee] U.S.‐In an early poll on the 2020 race, Democratic primary candidate Kamala Harris has shown to poll poorly among one demographic: unborn babies.
Unborn babies are much more likely to support candidates that don't advocate for their murder in the womb, according to the poll results. The final tally had Harris polling at 0% among those yet to be born.
"Yeah, frankly, I just can't get behind a candidate who is OK with me being killed at any moment," said one unborn baby in Texas. "It's pretty cut and dry for me. I'm not saying I'm always in love with other political parties, but I can't really get around the whole thing about how Harris supports the legalization of my murder."
The nation's unborn are said to be pretty much a "one-issue" voting bloc, with a candidate's position on abortion consistently ranking as their number one concern.
Harris has announced no plans to change her approach to the demographic and remains a staunch supporter of the genocide of the unborn.
People complain of the cultural turmoil and upset in the country without realizing that the mainstream media ‐ which nowadays includes almost all broadcast media as well as the digital giants Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and others ‐ are the main determinants of the mood and cultural milieu of the United States. At this point it is inescapable that unless the mainstream media are happy, we cannot, as a society, be happy. While almost nobody fully grasps the profound cultural influence of the media, we all respond to media-fostered agitation when they’re upset ‐ notably when conservative/Republican ideas are in the ascendance ‐ and the relative calm and quiescence when their like-minded, left-leaning Democrats are in charge.
...The subliminal behavioral message is powerful although its underpinnings remain concealed: if you want to experience cultural peace and tranquility, it can ONLY happen when Democrats are in power (concealed in part by a media pattern of portraying the current Republican leader as appalling while occasionally celebrating those of the past, like Reagan and G.H.W. Bush, who, most importantly from the media’s perspective, have quit the arenas of power). An unfortunate element, which bodes ill for the possibility of finding a solution, is that the media seem generally unaware of their prejudices, complicity and cultural power. For the vast majority of them, Trump really is to blame for the cultural upheaval... just as future Republican presidents Riley, Smith or Jones will be to blame for the upheaval during their tenures. You can almost hear the future outcry consistent with their pattern: "And we thought Trump was bad! At least he talked to us. There’s never been anybody as dysfunctional and dangerous as Riley!"

They have accepted a business model based on clicks, and with that you wind up with distilled click-bait. If the customer's hair isn't on fire with the headline, why even bother. Worse yet, this doesn't represent any kind of strategy, it just the default evolution. What a rational adult would correctly see as prejudice, even if they were in favor of it, isn't remotely a bug it is the life blood of their industry.
NEW YORK, New York, January 28, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ‐ When New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed the One World Trade Center’s spire be lit in bright pink to celebrate his successful effort to legalize abortion up until the moment of birth, pro-lifers pointed out his towering hypocrisy.
"You lit the spire to celebrate the abortion of the unborn in the same location where I went to weep over the memorial of 11 UNBORN children killed by terrorists," tweeted pro-life activist Obianuju (Uju) Ekeocha.
"You memorialize the lives of those killed by terrorists but turn around to celebrate those killed by abortionists," she declared.
[National Review] The March for Life is about so much more than we ever notice. Especially this brutal January.
I’ve been going to the March for Life since I was in college. After a few years of getting lost in the crowd, my new tradition is to run or Uber ahead to the Supreme Court, spend some time with the demonstrators and pray-ers outside (this is usually where there is any kind of small two-sides clash), and then meet the march on its way up the Hill, getting a sense of the size and composition. And, oh my goodness. It is overwhelming. I run into friends and colleagues and readers. I see people from North Dakota, Nebraska, and Sydney, Australia. (There was a group taking notes in hopes of replicating it down under.) It’s a grand reunion and meet-up of people not only protesting the Supreme Court’s 46-year-old Roe v. Wade decision but celebrating life.
The March itself, and so many of the events around it, are simply and powerfully countercultural. Consider the Mass the night before. There were 500 seminarians there ‐ that is, young men studying and being formed to be Catholic priests. That’s remarkable. What I wish I could capture, and ever more so in recent days, are the faces. The gazes of hope and joy. Even as some of these young people ‐ so many are high-school and college students ‐ and their chaperones are exhausted, but most everyone is. But once you catch a glance of someone, so often, you see love. Love of life. Love of fellow men. Love of innocence. Love of a confidence that God has you here for a purpose.
January 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ‐ A pro-life obstetrician-gynecologist is speaking out against New York passing a law this week to enshrine a "fundamental right" to abortion and strip protections from preborn babies until birth, warning that the move will have grave consequences for the character of the state and the nation.
Dr. William Lile, a board-certified OB/GYN and pro-life public speaker who maintains the ProLifeDoc website, said that modern medical technology is already giving preborn babies blood transfusions, heart surgery, and more.
"If they're a patient they're a person, and if they are a person they deserve our protection," he said in a YouTube video released today.
Dr. Lile emphasized that abortion-on-demand has nothing to do with sound medical practice.
