Ukraine war Bullshit.

This is a sad display.
Looking at this 5 days in they are not even at the stage they should have been on day one. It just looks awful as they haven't isolated the sink site by damming it off in any meaningfull way , they threw in some big bags filled with sand. Amateurs with limited resource would have improvised with log piling , a construction company would have used steel sheet piling to dam off the hole. In marshy terrain these things are easy to drive in even with that Hyundai on floats and if need be they can be reinforced in many ways.

ZCO 420 vs NF 420 on a gas gun.

To be honest I've never owned a zco. I own/owned a bunch of everything else including NF.

The ATACR 4-16x42 is a great smaller scope. Have one on my sp10 and on a 300wsm hunting rifle. Seems to have a very forgiving eyebox. I can shoot it along with my wife and 2 young boys (8yo and 12yo) without making any adjustments in lop

Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 vs SB 6-36x56 PMii

My unscientific observation after owning a few 5-25 PMII’s and 5-25 ATACR’s and spending some time behind the new PMII 6-36…. The 5-25 PMII and ATACR are neck and neck as far as what my eyes see, with maybe a slight edge on resolution favoring the PMII. The newer 6-36 is an improvement in the 5-25 PMII and has superb glass, closer to ZCO / Theta clarity and resolution. I ran an ATACR 7-35 and was never “wowed” by the glass and ultimately sold it because I wanted a lower mag on the bottom end and hardly ever used above 20x except for load dev and bench shooting.

Nightforce scopes have rugged tubes and internals and have great glass, but they are bested by quite a few scopes out there in the glass department these days. You really have to get nitpicky to see the differences in all the alpha glass, and they really don’t matter much in field use in my experience

LMT .308 MWS

Those of you handloading for your LMT's, how much are you bumping shoulders, the usual .002" or do you give a gas gun a little more ?

Most of my fired cases according to my hornady comparator are coming out 1.632"

I did have 2 out of 10 at 1.630" and 1 at 1.6295"

I'm leaning towards 1.629" and roll with it. This 16" CL likes factory 168 hornday black so I've got some Amax's and imr4064 that I'm going to try.
I do 4 thou, think that is plenty. But just my opinion. Im sure other might do the 2 thou. But believe it's what one wants.
