Looking for any trades?

2-10 is one of those class of scopes that is very useful, but very few manufacturers put any sort of effort into them. I guess thats good and bad. There not being many to choose from is the bad and the fact that there aren't many to choose from is good too.

If you want something that's going to keep your rig nimble, either the MK4 or the Nightforce NXS. I have a Mk4 with illum and I appreciate it everytime I take it out. They are both light, reasonable in length and have very good glass. I prefer the FFP. Although it seems that I'm in the minority, I run mine between 6x-8x the most.

We don't get a whole lot of time to hunt. It is your land too, but it's a cunty thing to do if you have any respect for your fellow users. Good chance that trail was built with hunting dollars for you to enjoy. No wonder the country has gone to shit.

not like riders are riding every square inch of the forest. not even close. even a 50 mile system of trails is taking way, way less than a square mile of land. plenty of opportunity to get well away from any trails. and a number of the groups i'm aware of actually spend a fair amount of time on trail maintenance. i hunt and ride and see no reason for limitations on either.

Using that "formula" will have too strong of a script, which leaves the target blurrier than necessary. Stick with the formula I gave in post #3. Those numbers have been tried and tested for years.

You are correct though as to the vertex being close to the inner edge/bridge of the glasses. This can often confuse the eyeglass mfr when the request is made. Decot Hy-wide glasses are made for shooting and will accommodate the script and vertex placement. But they are crazy expensive at $300 a pair. An example of the vertex issue:

I use a 550 this way for precision loading:

1. Anneal (AMP)
2. Tumble in corncob/polish media
3. Resize/deprime (station 1)
4. Mandrel (station 2)
5. Run brass through separate tumbler to remove lube
6. Prime with hand primer
7. Powder - charge all cases with Dillon drop measure/trickler/ FX-120i (yeah yeah an autotrickler would be faster)
8. Seat bullets (Seat die in station 3)

With this approach, I'm getting +/- .001" CBTO and <.002" TIR with RCBS Matchmaster dies.

I'm experimenting a little with swapping steps 3 and 4 4 and 5- do the mandrel AFTER lube removal. This was suggested by another Hide poster as eliminating any neck dings from tumbling. Jury still out on that... the listed steps get me ES/SD values around 25/7 so I'm not sure running the brass through the press again is worthwhile.

We switched from QD push buttons to snap hooks or HK hooks years ago at work after a couple of us had the QD buttons get pushed when climbing or repelling in training. I dropped a brand new Scar over 20ft onto concrete when climbing over the edge of a roof on a burglary. Suspect climbed to the roof and cut a hole through to a jewelry store. Myself and another officer climbed up on the other end of the building and as I went over the edge the button pressed against something on my vest and the rifle came loose. Since switching to the HK hooks we have not had this problem but we have had to replace the loops on a couple of rifles where they have worn away. We quickly got rid of the snap hooks after having several fail.

Yeah, lets go ride with noisy, smelly dirt bikes through a hunting area during hunting season. What can go wrong?

If I have invested the same amount of time and money to go hunt and some riders came through on dirt bikes, I would have some murderous thoughts myself.

If they're sticking to marked ATV trails then that is their business, tons of hunters use quad runners etc, what is this shit

Yeap and National Parks means it's off limits to almost everything except bird watching (with a permit of course).

IIRC Trump's tax cuts will sunset this year, if they do and everyone's taxes go up at a time when the economy is in the shitter the voter rage will be apocalyptic.

The upper and scope/mount can be separated if someone is interested.

Recommends the steamiest turd Vortex has ever made. Literally the most garbage zero shifting piece of shit out there. While at the same time bashing Leupold which has some of the most solid scopes being used successfully at field matches all over the country.

But hey tell us more about what gear actually works.

@FuhQ
Aww, did someone get their Leupanties in a wad.

You need to read up on the new MK-IV HD and MK-V HD with tracking and POI shifting problems. They’re worst than some scopes costing 1/3 the price.

Also, I didn’t recommend the LHT, he asked about it first. Learn to read.

Gentlemen,
There’s no need to get upset.
Leupold and Vortex both suck.

Up top.

Carbon locked. The locking and sealing taper is behind the threads on a CBA mount so the threads fill with carbon. I went through an anti-sieze phase and then just said F' it and let the mounts stay in the can after a while. Now I just direct thread all my TBAC cans. When you want to clean the can, after a couple of soaks in CLR you'll be able to pull the mount out of the can to open up access to the blast chamber to clean all the gunk out which will be a fair amount of carbon weight.

You'll want to invest in a strap wrench. Even a cheap one will do.
