For me to give you guys the price I give for snipershide I can’t legally list it publicly. M.A.P pricing is a real thing if you follow the guidelines. Pm me for the best price.

We use them to kill stuff. If you have to shoot them past 300 yds then your doing it wrong.

I often encounter coyotes well past 300 yards with the open prairie we have around here. I don't "have" to shoot them so I guess I'm not doing it wrong but I do like having the option and having a multi use bullet that also works reasonably well for target shooting.

The last one I got I saw plopped down slylined 770 yards away. Carefully using round bales for cover I was able to stalk to a safer firing position exactly 300 yards away and drop him.

Well thank you everyone for the insightful replies. It was exactly the information I was lookong for.

Oh, man. I dont know anything about the falcon menace scopes, but when someone mentions the words rimfire and precision in the same paragraph, it strikes a nerve.

What do you mean by "precision"? If youre talking about hitting X's at 50 yards and beyond, you're gonna want something with more precise turrets. Mils are fine for just shooting at MOA size targets, but if he's gonna be shooting at very small stuff, like trying to hit an X smaller than a fly, something with 1/8 MOA clicks can come in handy for a precise zero.

I have a helos 2-12 on a 22lr. It’s a killer optic for the money. I really hope Athlon listens to the people and builds something in the Cronus line. Japanese glass and a 34mm tube would be an instant hit.

I'd almost want it the other way, like down to a 1" tube. Why - is that I'd rather have the scope weigh less and for a scope in this mag range a ton of elevation travel isn't a priority at all to me.

It's what compromises we want to settle for by trading one feature, or attribute, for another.

But yeah I'm hoping a Cronus grade version comes out too. I want daylight bright illume is part of it. I also don't want to pay tier 1 money for a 2-12.

This was supposed to be a serous debate but I can't help but laugh at the college student.

There is a well known story about a woman who was feeding cats in her barn at night. As time went by, more and more cats appeared. Soon there were so many cats that she couldn't count them and walk in her barn without tripping over them.

She asked her friend, a veterinarian, what to do about the unchecked cat population running amok in her barn.

He simply told her to stop feeding them.

The first thing that needs to be done with respect to all illegals is to stop feeding them. Stop all the freebies.

Then they will do one of several things:

1) Go to another country for the freebies. That will be their problem and not ours.
2) Go to work here. If that happens, jail the employers and take their businesses.
3) Go to work in another country. That will be their problem and not ours.
4) They will try to steal what they want here. If that happens, a well armed victim (without fear of prosecution), will solve that problem.
5) They will try to steal what they want in another country. That will be their problem and not ours.

Stop the freebies and the deportation problem gets easier.

A lot of them self-deported right after the 2009-2009 market crash due to lack of work here.

Funny meme, but it looks like he’s already started backing off the promise to deport them all. If that’s true, the Dems will get a lock on the future.

Trump Backs Down From Strong Sweeping Deportation Promise

Both Trump and his border czar are sending strong messages that Trump’s deportation plan won’t live up to his campaign hype.

I’m going to guess that with his strong performance among Hispanic voters he has tried to find out which groups they hate the most. That will be the ones he goes after. That’s a voting block that needs to be kept.

They all need to go. They didn’t come in legally. Period. If he doesn’t do it then he lied on the campaign trail. If you talk a big game you need to follow through, otherwise your word means nothing - no one can trust what you say. That’s basic honor. Especially for a man. For the leader of a country it it signals to adversaries that what it said is not true and that leader doesn’t mean what he says. They see it as weakness because it is. It sounds like the the business lobbyists have gotten to him.

What is the intended purpose of the rifle and what are you shooting at? In what sort of environment? Are you going to be shooting on a flat range, at known targets or are you going to be scanning for targets? What's the minimum and maximum range you will be shooting to?

Assuming a flat range with known targets shooting at smaller targets requiring precision, Id go for the Leupold for the magnification.

For a more general purpose rig, out to say 400 yards or so, Id go with the 3-9x. The only reason I wouldnt just go for the Leupold is the 6x bottom end. 6x is just too much for anything 100 yards and in for general purpose.

I love magnification, especially for precision work. My rimfire bench rifle has a 5-25x on it, which is fine for its purpose. For general purpose, my general rule of thumb is a 1-3x bottom end to cover out to 100 yards and a 2-3x top end for every 100 yards I'll be shooting. The rig I use the most has an intended purpose of covering everything from point blank range out to about 400 yards and it wears a 1-8x.

Would academia allow and/or support the initiation of such a study?

Of course not. They would get Congress involved to suppress any attempt to do so, and have anyone who attempted labeled a racist, bigot and a purveyor of misinformation..

If you do a statistical breakdown on serial killers, (which I have), you'll find that the most likely person to be a serial killer, (the demographics most highly represented based on representative population data) that person would most likely be a black male, gay, between 28-50, that works or has worked for .gov in a lowly capacity, (some sort of service industry), and would have a bad military discharge in their past. They would have exhibited symptoms in their youth of their depravity, likely been victims of sexual abuse in their youth, and had been raised in a household without a father figure. A surprisingly high number of them were raised by their grandmothers, or an aunt or great aunt. There are a few other factors that make repeated appearances, but that's the short list. Black people are over represented in the serial killer annals at a significantly higher rate than any other race. If this is news to you, it's because most of them kill black hookers and drug addicts, so the news doesn't care. Those stories don't sell..

As long as u are using the same Hornady insert every time there is not practical advantage of the SAC. I actually like the sharp edge better then the angle because if the angle dosent match the angle of the brass it won't measure as consistent as the sharp point. I have used both and I would say buy either one.

That’s a hot load. I shoot 156 Bergers at 3000 FPS with RL-26. That’s a hot load also, but I don’t care as I’ve been shooting it like that since 2019. I might shoot 10 rounds a year in that right for hunting season. With hot loads like that you might get 800-1000 rounds out of the barrel. Just depends on how you shoot it.

I've tried slowing it down and my SD's and groups go to hell. Might try another powder

Here’s a couple photos of mine; she’s the best dog I’ve ever had.

Hmmm, can’t get the photos to work, not sure why. They act like they are attaching, then nothing downloads.
