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

@ov3rclock3d Like you I have made my choice. Theos it is. went to the range today and had a hell of a time looking for target holes with my Steiner. A buddy was running an Athlon ares 4.5x30 and to be honest, the calarity was better than the Steiner. I could spot the 22lr holes in the target out to 300yds on white paper mid day. I couldn't see my holes though my scope and there was significant CA.... Makes me almost regret selling my Athlon a few weeks ago. The one thing that really kills the Athlon for me is the way in which you have to set the zero stop. This is the 3rd time we have had to do it to my buddies rifle due to changes in the scope rings and mounting bases. I have the opportunity to get a new G3R for a little over $2k.. if the Theos doesn't work out Ill try it next.

Any scope ring recommendations?

Where's the G3R for a little over 2k deal at?

Ballistic calculators disagree with my actual elevation amounts - help please!

actual POI did not tally with what the electronic target was telling me.
Yeah, if you had said in the first post that E-targets were being used, a few of us would have asked "did you calibrate the targets?"

ShotMarker and Silver Mountain have to be calibrated, because the electronics will say "center" where it "thinks" is center. You would check your electronic scales to confirm 49 grains is really 49 grains when reloading, right?

Electronics are great, however, you always "trust" but verify.

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

Rogan is an elk hunter and pointed out how stupid the Yellowstone wolves are, and how they're reeking havoc with the ranchers. Ben Lamm agreed, but everything is a tradeoff in the garden, and it's all a garden now.

Honestly, I thought dire wolves were bigger than twice a gray wolf, not 25% bigger. They're heavier and slower than gray wolves, and it may be that there is nothing for them to eat, because they're designed to catch Pleistocene mega fauna, and not the tiny (by comparison) and faster modern ungulates. They honestly don't know, as the DWs aren't old enough to hunt yet, and they're just introducing whole carcass. Appearently the 2,000+ acre preserve where they're being kept is set up like a laboratory, and they are documenting everything.

Seriously, listen to the interview before commenting based of lying media. It is illuminating. They did not approach this like Jurassic Park. They are not making money off their creations. They don't have to. There are more investors and more money than they know what to do with. These aren't the bad guys. The bad guys will try to steal this, but this is inevitable IMO. Exploring and figuring shit out is what we're hard wired to do. It's our only survival characteristic, and it won't be stopped. It's how we go about that which is and should be open to debate.
They’ll hunt humans. Period. Slow and taste like tobacco (according to Pacific Islanders, (C 1800’s-1920’s).
In my book, the bad guys are the ones who will say “we need to reinsert them into their natural environment.”
Actually I heartily encourage such idiocy. There is a movement in CA to re-introduce the CA Grizzly, which is extinct, and would be replaced by Alaska Brown Bears. Fine with me, since 1. They will be protected, and 2. Their former range was much of north central California, and even the Bay Area. Plenty of delicious left wings down there.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

I can remember when Germany and Great Britain were both ran by conservitives.

A bit stodgy and set up to take care of the rich people.

Then the libtards took a solid hold and eroded life in every corner of the land.

The libtards in the USA screwed up and missed some spots full of free thinkers and we intend to break it off in thier ass.

Maybe you should try it.
