This MFer is never startled on his side of the glory hole!

Oswalds rifle was sub MOA all day. When the feds test fired it shot 3/4 “ groups. 6.5 master race.

He was a Marine, i assume he knew how to use it. You guys are trained… right??

Kennedy was shot around 12:30 Tibbit was shot about 1:00, oswald was follwed to the theater and entered just after 1:00 after, presumably killing Tibbit.

How did tibbits get on his trail, 30 min after Kennedy was killed???

tibbits allegedly tried to stop Oswald on the street, could have been for something unrelated to the shooting, they had a confrontation on the street.

the theatre is where he went later on.


there's reports the scope mount was loose when they found the rifle, the FBI had to tighten everything up and maybe it was accurate but in its condition at the time of "firing", it was not.

Jimmy Files also says Oswald was with him when he tested the fireball. which means Oswald knew there were " backup" shooters but he also thought he would be extracated by his handlers.

Curious what you mean by ocular size? Are you talking about the wide angle eyepiece used in the Kahles K540i or is there something different you're referring to?

And this is why I prefer speaking to people over the phone to try to educate people into making the best decision for their purpose. The forum can only do so much because a lot of people are missing details that they might not even realize that’s why I’m on the phone all day long and have a 2000 text messages in my phone.
A 10 minute call can equal dozens of posts IMO

Got mine a couple weeks ago and finally got it setup the other day....cuts wonderfully....need hornady to sell replacement heads because the forester ones don't work on it. I'd rather have a head setup for each caliber rather than adjust the cutting blades each time. Also as a side note for guys. Standard forester pilots work for the calibers that don't come with the unit...threw my 25 pilot in it and did 350 pieces of gt brass with zero issue

Thanks for the input guys! I'm really intrigued by the ocular size of the new kahles k540 and wondering how long it will be til like zco, TT, and the rest follow suit to a bigger ocular. Right now I'm running a theos and I like it and might just wait to see if anything comes down the road

I guess everyone forgot the bigger ocular trend started with ZCO in 2018…

That was my thought as well; however, maybe what NFShooter meant was the wide angle eyepiece?

After 5 shots with a capable suppressed ELR cartridge you’re already getting into suppressor/barrel-induced mirage and it needs to cool. Do you think you’re getting an accurate ES/SD from 5 shots? If you do, shoot 5, let it cool 10 minutes while you record the result, then shoot another 5 added to the first 5 in the same session, let it cool another 10 minutes as you record the result, then shoot another 5 without closing the session. Compare 5 vs 15 and see what you see. Occasionally it’s the same if you have the load perfectly tuned, but often you’ll see the numbers double or more vs 5 shots. Then you know what you actually have.
Now, notice all the time wasted waiting for the rifle to cool which you could have used to gather data on another rifle if you could switch back and forth and reactivate sessions.

This right here ^^^ is the best explanation for why it would be beneficial to re-activate a string. When shooting multiple rifles it would be nice to switch back and forth after allowing one rifle to cool, etc.

While I am not a huge fan of Chai-knees, the fact that Athlon now has a similar product and if they happen to add this feature... just saying. I much prefer my Garmin but with similar products coming in, it would be good to see some of these requests taken more seriously as competition begins to heat up.

Since @Garmin started this thread, it would be nice to see a response. However, in light of the thread being about a v3.30 update (which I greatly appreciate their attentiveness to "fix" the issue that caused their units to falter with regard to reliability) I also understand this may not be the best place for these requests so if @Garmin has a suggestion where we can better request some of these features I think that would be helpful.

Anyone else find that the new CDF function won't save to the phone? I've found that to get the corrected dope I have to open the app with cell service. Twice I've been out of service when I open the app to shoot & the CDF doesn't work. I have to open it again with service for it to make the correction. I'm guessing that it's stored to the cloud? It definitely doesn't work without cell service.

Looks like H4895 is finally making a comeback.

Came back in stock at my LGS today. Grabbed 2 8lb jugs for $348 each

Damn, I was hoping you would say AR lol. I need 4895 but I don't want to pay inflated prices.

Of the limited pieces of good advice my father told me growing up...I distinctly recall the one he said, "Anytime you get something new, find a spot somewhere out of sight and hit it with a hammer. Then when dings & scratches show up you won't be as bothered, because it was already dinged!"

Click to expand...

Never done it intentionally, but I distinctly remember my first new car (cheap 83 Chevy Cavalier). Was in the dealer lot transferring stuff from old (74 Vega) to new opened the vega's door right into the side of the new one, waited until I got home to throw a temper tantrum.

But....it has a Bushnell sitting on top of it...

Looking at a CJ7 first question was you gonna pull the 6 and put an LS in it. No I only no talent ass holes that can't fix anything go that route. If I was going to do a V8 I would do an AMC 360. I agree I hate the cookie cutter ls bullshit

Click to expand...

I resemble that remark....LOL
Bought my 84 CJ7 with the LS and TH400 already swapped about 8 years ago. Got to admit, it's been absolutely bullet proof so far.

Guess I'll have to drop the 408 Windsor stroker back in my Mustang when I get to that point....nothing like a nasty carbureted small block with a 5 speed Tremec!!

first chip you put in it hurts a little, after that idgaf.
I could give or take the coating on hunting barrel but I can at understand it.

I'm one of those that considers a rifle a tool - don't really care if they get dinged up.

But watching my rifle slide down a rock face and deeply scratching a new cerakoted barrel was rough

I just covered the scratches in black sharpie and carried on. But it was a good reminder why cerakoting a barrel is a waste of money. If you want a pretty museum piece - cerakote it. If you want a tool, just leave it stainless.

now shoot them

Why wasn't someone manning that damned turret?
Shouldn't have been any arrests.
Unalive them.
Mount their heads on top of the fence as a notice to future invaders.
Throw the remainder back on the other side of the fence.
Weld the hole back up.

Not sure if anyone here is old enough to remember this . . .

.... but there should be a modern day equivalent.

Already on list waiting for call/email to pay

my 30 Cal is 3/4" thread.

my 375 is 7/8

For me after getting more experience the improvements become smaller(and more expensive) in nature. It can be different things for different cartridges. For my 300 WM just switching to Lapua brass made a noticeable difference. Sometimes It is a surprise. Imperial Sizing Wax made an instant improvement for sizing and shoulder bump. The more you shoot the better everything gets.
