Question
Did this cause the leak, or is this a "temporary" fix for the leak?

Just asking cause I've seen both before...
Yes and no.
It wasn't an intentional temporary fix, but it sealed itself going in and didn't leak so we left it alone.
Same tire also had a couple nails in it that didn't leak so we kept running it until yesterday when we noticed blisters forming along the inside bead.

Another Vector picked up a deer antler in the field last week.
The driver tried pulling it out hoping it hadn't gone through but it started leaking so he drove it back in until it stopped and sawed the rest off.

Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

Short Grendels do really well on the range shooting distance with SPR-type scopes. Most LPVOs don’t do the cartridge justice, unless you’re shooting short to mid range. The counter to that is that I really enjoyed shooting the 1-4x GRSCs because of FoV, clarity, exit pupil out to 800yds, especially from the 12” until that one broke too.

A bigger objective like a 42mm on the Vortex Razor 1-10, but a 2-16 or 3-18, with compact side focus would be about ideal.

I was having trouble initially with the 1-10x on 10x, until I extended the LaRue stock another notch for LOP and achieved a forgiving exit pupil. I like to shoot distance with shorter LOP for some reason, opposite of how I was raised, when shooting prone/bench/alternate supported positions. That had me choked up a bit on the eye relief on the 1-10x, so I was limited to 7x with it. Last few trips, I figured out the LOP increase and it’s very usable on 10x, and I haven’t even done a cheek riser to optimize head placement yet.
Interesting analysis, I’ve been struggling with optic selection for this platform.

I borrowed a buddy’s noveske 18” 6 arc with razor 1-6 to proof the concept for myself. While it worked, for hits to mid range, it wasn’t ideal for my purpose as a hunting optic, definitely less scalpel vs minute of man. A couple days ago, we shot that platform again with a zco 4-20 and it was much better suited. While I think that was a bit much, my thoughts are a mvpo are that’s going to work best here.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Yeah I'm sure that happened.
Its Ukrainian interviewing Ukrainans.take your time to read it trough , its quite a colection of stories,Given there is not much upside to just making shit up i would not be supprised if this is true . To a large degree while its a proxy war ,its also a civil war and in those folks from same familes end up on opposing sides with considerable frequency. Besides couple million Ukrainians live and work in Russia since ever.

And so it begins...

Up here in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve seen a little trend away from the little 6mm’s, myself included. We get some decent winds and weather for a lot of matches. Lots of guys shooting the 25 creed and a few went back to the 6.5 creed. The 25 creed cheats wind better than the smaller 6’s, only marginally more recoil, good barrel life, and better splash to pickup for corrections. Plenty of top shooters shooting the 6.5 Creed with the 140, 144, and 147’s. I ran a 6 BRA for about a year… fair weather is was fine. Wind and rain made things challenging, especially spotting misses in wet earth with little 105 gr slugs.

The 6 ARC leaves a little in the table for PRS I think. Between the cartridges you mentioned, I’d go 6.5 CM, but don’t hesitate to take a look at the 25.

This is one of the unintended consequences of leftist educators pushing trans and groomer shit into classrooms. What they have really done is redpill kids at a much younger age and make them wary of what sick predators lurk in the community.

Video from an undisclosed US town shows a group of young boys at a park beating the crap out of a trans predator who had been video recording them. The creep behavior is what initiated the beatdown:



Everywhere around the world where leftists are in charge of government and education, it has been documented that a staggering number of young kids are turning right wing. Epic new video game releases like Kingdom Come: Deliverance II are also attracting a titanic number of followers who are learning about Europe's proud history, nationalism, patriotism, and protecting their homeland and culture at all costs.

Vortex RazorHD Gen III 6-36x56 vs NF ATACR 7-35x56

I’m in analysis paralysis with these 2 scopes. I don’t feel like I can justify a zco right now so NF and G3R are my options. I looked at element as well but I’ve never had the chance to interact with one in person. I can get the razor for slightly less than the NF but the difference isn’t large enough to swing my decision..
It's difficult when your hard earned cash is on the line, right!

I have had all three, I still have the Theos on my SRS, great for 338lm with it's 36x mag and it's still usable at the top, I am considering picking up a second one, the prices on those are great. Also the tracking on the Theos is perfect, some other reviewers have said it's be best tracking optic they have tested. I felt like the NF kinda lost me after 30-32x. You can't go wrong with either three, however I will say it again. I do not like the RG3 turrets or it's weight. I did a comparo between the Razor and the Theos, they are made at the same factory, and are dimensionally identical, I think it's the same tube actually and some of the same lense elements so both offer excellent glass. The Theos turrets are honestly the best next to the TT, so easy to set and without a tool. Somehow the Theos is lighter however. The nice thing about NF however is that they have a wider verity of reticles, if you like simple the Mil-R or Mil-C is clean and easy. I would put it like this- the Theos and NF are equal but for different reasons, the Vortex would be my third pick of the three. If warranty is a big factor for you then my clear pick would be NF before the Theos as NF will fix your stuff state side, where the Element Theos will get fixed here as well but is a much smaller outfit at least in the states. The Vortex has a killer warranty but once again it would be my last pick for the other reasons I mentioned earlier.

here is a very extensive review of the Theos.
