Scope leveling questions

I did a search and didn’t really find an answer. I’m putting together a .22 for MARS this year, it’s a B14r barreled action in a MDT chassis with a EGW 20 MOA base and vortex rings. It’s going to be fitted with a Vortex AMG. The problem I’m having is trying to level the rifle, I put the level on the base and it shows dead on, then I put the level on the rings and there off. Both of the rings and the base all show different readings. I’m assuming I should go with the base level, is this correct?

Feedback PSA: Account hacked scammers posting fake ads

Hey all,

Someone got into my account... weak password found probably from a database breach. And posted a bunch of items as me.
I have deleted all of the threads and responded to all of the DMs in my inbox saying do not send money to anyone that engaged in the last 3 hours.

The last item I acutally have for sale is my spotter. Sorry about the trouble.

Changed passwords and turned on 2fa. Might be a good idea for others to....

Road rage Karen F's around and finds out. Pregnant hit and run driver pulls gun on victim, gets deaded. ETA: NO CHARGES. JUSTIFIED SELF DEFENSE.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA

Five months pregnant librarian INTENTIONALLY strikes motorcycle rider with her car, almost killing him. Motorcyclist and another motorist who witnessed the assault/attempted murder follows the road rager to her house in order to get her information. Batshit cunt comes back out with a gun and threatens the biker. Biker, who is a CHP holder, fires multiple shots in defense. Road rager is DOA at the hospital. No charges expected.

Good shoot.

Moral(s) of the story:

1. You might be able to fuck around for a time without consequences, especially in a peer group where people enable your shit either because they genuinely worship you in a pathetic Manson-like way, or because they simply don't give a shit about your well being enough to call you out on it and try to change your ways for the better, but you WILL find out sooner or later.

2. Having a gun doesn't mean that suddenly you are all hot shit Wild Bill Hickok.

3. Don't write checks that you obviously cannot cash. It may stroke your ego orgasmically for that first few minutes like this bitch probably felt when she decided that it was a great idea to pull a gun on a dude she almost intentionally ran over, but once that high comes off, you may be irreparably fucked.

Rifle Scopes Frank, are you willing post a comparison of ZCO 5x27 to Zeiss LRP S5 5x25

@lowlight - Hi Frank...are you willing to post a bit of a contrast and compare between the ZCO and the Zeiss?

I saw the pic you posted from a comp this past week in CO (maybe?) with the S5 on your TacOps rifle and I know you also have ZCO (or maybe more than one) so I thought to ask you as I don't know anybody else with both.

We have gotten scope pics from a couple of sources but there are so many transitions from scope to camera to download to upload to my monitor that its very hard to draw firm conclusions.

You are expert, have a wide range of practical experience with rifle optics, and have both scopes, so I was wondering if you could draw any conclusions comparing the two.

If not....have a great Christmas! ;):LOL:

Wife’s got the Rona

Felt a little achy and low grade temp yesterday. Tested positive on home kit. We are doing the FLCCC protocol for her. So far she is doing well. Breathing fine, still able to smell and taste. Just a little tired with an intermittent cough. Been on two 1.5 mile walks today with her in the cool Tennessee air. She’s 45 and thin, otherwise healthy so I expect she will do fine but still a little nerve racking. I’ll keep y’all updated. Prayers appreciated.

Buddies 22 creed blew up…. Any ideas

Buddy was doing some load testing.. “very proficient reloader”. 🙃

My first thought was an accidental overage.

which he had shot the load previously… with no pressure signs…..

** he was shooting 44g of Varget!!!!!!

Bullet hit gong. So I think it rules out an obstruction.

Sheared extractor off bolt and case head separation? Brass failure?

Brass was twice fired copper creek 22 creed brass.

62 grain controlled chaos bullets.

Criterion barrel

Luckily the action contained all the shrapnel and he just got a wake up call and a little fire ball.

Gun had 200 rounds through it.

Safe to Drink?

Uh Boy!

My mom (a die hard liberal) asked me what I wanted for Xmas. Knowing how liberal she is, I had to think carefully about what I wanted. From my previous thread, what I really wanted (and what should be reasonably cheap) would be a 1lb bag of Covefere MAGA dark Roast beans.

Three days after she asked, I couldn't wait any longer. I told her what I wanted. And, as predicted, she exploded. "I CAN'T BUY ANYTHING RELATED WITH TRUMP!" At the end of the discussion, she said she'd send me the money, but she could not buy the coffee "as long as it's associated with Trump." :rolleyes:

Well, that's what I thought she was going to do. Instead, what she did was send me 2 10oz bags of this (ground, not beans):

003066073


Apparently, the company is Canadian based. But, knowing my mom, I suspect the company may be liberal based. I guess she didn't even trust me with her money. She wanted to make sure I didn't buy Covefefe with it. :mad:

Thus, the question... Is this stuff safe to drink? :unsure: :eek: :D

This is what your masters want.

TLDW: Some guy with a firearms license in Plymouth, England kills five and then offs himself. Devon and Cornwall Police now go around picking licensed gun owners to revoke their license and take all their firearms with zero fucks or reasons given.

How clean, is clean enough?

Having a hard time getting my barrel clean even after a little brushing and several cleanings. I don't really care for the sake of being clean, but I am a little worried about the dreaded carbon ring. I am shooting win 6.5 stabal , and it's pretty dang dirty shooting powder. If I were getting my barrel clean each time I wouldn't worry about it but after inspecting my cleaning or lack there of with a borescope, I'm thinking I need to change my system a bit.

I'm afraid to use any of the abrasive stuff but I may have to if I actually want it clean. Frank's words about using the abrasive stuff like Iosso or something like it has made me not consider anything like that as an option....

Not sure where to go from here or even if I am getting it clean enough to prevent any carbon ring issues or similar issues. Had some weird pressure stuff that went on yesterday and it has me thinking about this. Could have just been the rain though....

I guess my question is "how do I know when it's clean enough" and "how can I get it cleaner without risking my barrel being messed up" ???
