Looking at the thread that was linked on page 2, dpmmn never substantiated his claim, and there was a lot of skepticism. The TRU ammo hasn’t been extremely accurate from what I’ve seen. Further...seems odd that the “ruler” of the thread, along with the manufacturer would be the ones defending the claim so fervently.
It just leads to some questions. As the OP of the MOA challenge, I would think that would be a conflict of interests. Edited: neither of dpmmn’s entries met the requirements for a submission either, but you allowed them. No wonder ppl complain about this thread so much. It’s not a challenge, it’s a farce. Certainly nothing official about the controller of the thread allowing entries that don’t meet criteria when it supports a manufacturer that he is biased towards |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Defender3: Why would you be bringing this up so long after the DPMMN issue? Do you really think there's some sort of conspiracy in the thread or decisions? I didn’t recall viewing that thread previously. I typically don’t jump into GD for commentary. I’d say that 90% of my posts are in this forum, a HTF or industry page. But after viewing it, it did further raise my skepticism. Dpmmn didn’t submit a complete submission. Simple as that. Others have been DQ’d for that very thing, why should he be different? Why should Mike’s submission also be allowed? @SuperJlarge Also, I hope you realize there are many people who know each other or are friends on and even off the forum.

I own Mark's rifles, mounts and accessories, as well as Geisselle rails and triggers; but I prefer Mark's products, does that qualify as a conflict to shoot the challenge or to even comment? I’m glad that you have friends and have ties to industry partners. Nothing wrong with that. I’ve met and know some good smiths and builders too, but an Appeal to authority won’t help any argument by me. The conflict of interest arose when the person who was overseeing a challenge began defending someone that made an incomplete submission, that was also very hard to believe by a lot of ppl. And, it wasn’t just saying “ I know him, he’s a good dude and I’ve asked him to repeat it on camera for you guys, because it was pretty impressive. He’s done it twice, he can do it again”. No, Akethan was insulting and cussing ppl in that thread. A thread where they were questioning the validity of 2 posts in the MOA challenge. The thread that he is the caretaker of. Pretty big difference between your situation and his, wouldn’t you say? And, pretty clear that him defending dpmmn in the manner that he did was a conflict of interest, or, at the very least, hurt the integrity of the challenge. The issue I have is your implication against several people who are just stepping up to try and keep something alive. They do the best they can with the time they have, which means they are not chained to ARFCOM or this thread. I have no idea if AKETHAN or Ol Painless own one manufacturer's products, or another's, I don't care. I'm just happy they stepped up to help.See, you’re saying it’s an implication. I don’t do well with implied. It’s not that it’s occured once, or even twice, It’s happened quite a few times. For example, in this very thread that we are currently posting in, Akethan was saying that bags that I was presenting were not allowed for my use in the challenge. I pointed out that several just like it had been used and approved. He still said they weren’t allowed. Around this same time, he allowed a submission with the Large Triad Wedge to be used. This bag is close to the size of a rear buttstock; it sticks out in a picture. You yourself have used it before in submissions that were approved, with your gas gun and also your bolt gun. Another shooter using a certain industry partners gas gun, perhaps 2 shooters/participants, were also allowed to run a bag that was clearly too large...yet he said nothing. Scour the challenge thread. It’s there, and it’s apparent that something is rotten in Denmark. And, to say you’re not aware of what products he owns...c’mon man. I’m happy that ppl have stepped up. It’s a cool challenge. But, I recall seeing mods even make comments about some of the judgements, so I know it’s not just me. In my case, I threw up a post on a lark as I didn't realize I did so well that day. NASCAR ruled I went below the yellow line to advance my position and disallowed my entry. I posted my acceptance and said I'd re-shoot the challenge. If there was some sort of conspiracy, I would suggest my entry would have been validated. Alright, /rant off. Previous entries, of yours, were allowed with bags that were clearly too large. I don’t think anyone else had posted on 2 sheets of paper before and seriously thought it would count, because the rules clearly state a single piece of paper. That’s not nearly as subjective as interpreting a rear bag, it’s very clear Apologies for the long response, but I wanted to try and address as much of your previous question as possible. I certainly don’t have an issue with you Defender3, so I trust my response won’t be viewed that way. . |

When looking over the thread, I noticed that Mike P’s top result and Dpmmn’s submissions didn’t meet the requirement for an entry. There’s also several submissions that clearly are using bags that aren’t approved or are missing the caliper pic/clear pic of the target without markers. Can the results and standings be updated, with those entries removed? It should help with the integrity and intent of the thread. This is about what you and your rifle can do not what everybody else did or didn''t do. It''s supposed to be fun but some people just want to suck all the fun out of it. |

I have zero idea of whether any but #40 were "faked" I personally shot #40 fast and furious, IIRC, with a random rack rifle before it got shipped to a customer. It's legit. Fact is half of the Top 40 were shot with LaRue barrels and my infatuation with accuracy shows. Meh, I brought accuracy to the masses ... ML . |

Im just saying it has a smell to it. One of the top place is with factory Australian outback ammo too? Maybe his barrel just sang with it but I had pretty large velocity changes with that stuff. Ive never shot factory tru ammo so I don't know what its like. I don't know any of these shooters but I have met some pretty impressive BR and nra match shooters and you don't see much of that kind of accuracy with factory ammo (aside from maybe the FGMM or federal berger stuff) mixed with slim line barrels.
I don't know anything just agreeing that it did kinda seem fishy. |

Question, SuperJL brought up the rear bag question with me using the Triad larger wedge bag recently. I had used that same bag previously on a bolt and gasser entry dating back who knows how long. In the back of my pea brain, I thought that bag was approved at the time I shot those entries. I also thought that large wedge bag was all they offered at the time and the smaller bag followed later. Can anyone clarify? If my entries were wrong, I have no issue with them being taken down.

There’s a post on page 6 from 2/2015 from Lenny, with the Triad rear bag. It looks to be the small one. Not sure when you made your attempts, but they’ve been out for awhile.
Regardless of what happens, Defender3, that is extremely admirable. |

Ive never shot factory tru ammo so I don't know what its like. I don't know any of these shooters but I have met some pretty impressive BR and nra match shooters and you don't see much of that kind of accuracy with factory ammo (aside from maybe the FGMM or federal berger stuff) mixed with slim line barrels. I don't know anything just agreeing that it did kinda seem fishy. Did some accuracy testing 3x10 as scientists suggest is a good measure of accuracy, and it averaged a little over 1.6 MOA. I found it odd myself, as I had previously been able to produce similar accuracy with a variety of loads Molon had tested. |

Either way, glad for you that you ain't my neighbor. And way to make that M24 weight barrel settle down and fly right. . . |

Sorry but my computer chops aren't up to par. So you admit the entry isn't valid and you leave it the way it is because the entry is more believable with the federal match ammo? Pretty damn sad you choose to mislead the readers of the thread. Just wanted to give you the opportunity to prove me as a liar. What benfits do you all think I get for misleading folks? Look at my EE feedback. If I was as dirty as you want to make me out to be it seems like I would have fucked up at least once. |

Attacking better performances, lobbying to have submissions ahead of them removed, appears to be a great way to move up in the standings without having to hit the range.
Uh, brilliant.

Sorry Akethan,
The higher I get up the flagpole, the more they can see my ass ... and it excites them. And they run in packs. ML . |

Okay, boys. That's enough. This is a "Discussion" thread, but it is still in a Technical Forum. Enough of the insults and general GD comments. Let's return to a Technical Discussion of the MOA Contest or I will lock this one down.
This is a "fun" contest, not the National Match. Let's have fun and quit the bickering. Many thanks. - Old_Painless |

Jessbrie,
That’s a good suggestion. A completely new challenge thread might be the way to go. Maybe even incorporate some additional metrics to allow forum members to quickly gain information regarding results (bipod, rear bag, barrel, trigger, powder, bullet, optics, etc..) without having to search. |

Akethan,
Drop the 1st place off monthly, maybe quarterly, and let everyone else move forward by one. 1st place gets moved to a previous winner's list, 2nd place becomes 1st place, etc. If anybody takes 1st away between changeover months, he gets to hold his crown for one month, then he's off to the previous winner's list, and so forth.
ML . |
