He is saying he thinks it is going to drop and then rebound. The earnings report didn't help it any, and its a clue. It's as good a bet as any. Nasdaq is now below all moving averages as well.

Looked at this to see what whatsupdoc was responding to

Putin isnt good. Zelensky is worse.
I do feel for the ukraine people being under a tyrannical leader who will force them to death in war to line his pockets. They need to turn from the Russians and crush their own govt.

Exactly.....put that cuck on ignore long ago.

First “kid” rifle I took a wood stock I had and chopped it up with a saw in the basement.

A few hours of cutting, sandpaper and some stain I had from a million years ago on a Saturday afternoon and it fit and looked great. Free as well. ..and I’m by no means a wood worker lol.

It’s not just the “length” chassis are weighted differently. I got the balance better by cutting some relief holes in the forearm.

I wouldn’t trust a 2-12 Athlon either. Specs are all great, but I’ve seen some issues online for maintaining zero.

Athlon Helos BTR Gen2, 2-12x42mm Field Eval

This is a field evaluation of the Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2, 2-12x42mm scope. This scope was handed to me from from Ryan Avery for evaluation. It was sent to him from a forum member. The ammunition used was Hornady Black 168gr AMAX that was purchased by Ryan. The 20 round proof group was just over...

I’d pay attention to Castle Rock and his findings. He probably has more rounds through his setup and a ton more time bouncing around in a vehicle in the bush than anybody else. Granted he hasn’t fallen down a mountain 11 times on the way in and during a hunt and then another 32 times with a full pack load on the way out during the 3 trips of meat like the sliders claim and that’s just in one state on one hunt.

ETA: I have multiple 3-9 Super Chickens and 1 Helos 2-12 and haven’t had an issue with any of them. They’ve all bounced around on the farm but my Helos has taken more abuse because it’s on a 223 that I shoot almost exclusively. Shitty roads in a 3/4 ton pickup and a 6 wheel gator almost weekly for multiple days per week during that timefrom May through January. I wish it had better glass for shitty rainy overcast last light performance but other than that I can’t complain.

I must live in a cave but I just learned that X has some only fans type content, guy at work was talking about it.

This ^^^^. Built my kid an LSS when he was little, and was able to adjust it to fit him perfectly. IMO enough adjustment for small marksmen.
Put a kids stock on it now, and switch it out later so it can grow with him.

Although, I agree that a fitted manners is probably better if money is no object, but a chassis can be adjusted as they grow and still get shot rather than a very expensive gun that sits in the safe and only get used as a hand-me-down. If you have a bunch of kids that may make sense. Otherwise not so much...

Quick question, will barrel order start when you receive order, or at conclusion of gb on 3-21?

For all you Solus owners with pre-fit bbls - did your barrels have a chamfer cut in the breech face, or were they flat? I just finished doing a Bartlein bbl in 223AI for a PVD FDE Solus with the .382" bolthead, and it wouldn't feed until I removed the bbl, dialed it back in, and cut a chamfer at a 30* angle. Now it feeds fine, with all the heavier (S80MK, B85.5 Hyb, B90VLD) bullets I've tried in it. Didn't cut a chamfer in the breech face of the 6XC bbl I did on my 1st Solus, and it fed just fine with Berger 105 Hybrids & VLDs, Sierra 107MKs, DTAC 115s, but wouldn't feed with Lapua 105s. I always cut a chamfer in all the dozen or more Bighorn barrels, and in the Zermatt Origins in 22 Grinch & 6.5 CM that I've done.

Hmmm…interesting results. While not conclusive, that seems to imply that the Xero is measuring velocity somewhere beyond the muzzle and that mounting the Xero gives somewhat faster velocity results. Though some of that might be within the noise of testing and instrument accuracy.

I saw better agreement when running a Magnetospeed at the same time as a Garmin. Don't know what caused the disagreement in the photos.

That can happen with any instrument. It is the reason I run two whenever making important measurements. IF they are in good agreement, everything is probably good. If not, I've got a setup issue and I adjust to fix it.

I've heard mounting one on a rifle may influence the velocity reading due to backward movement of the rifle at ignition. I've not tested for it, though.

Good data, Secant.

Still looking.

That's one hell of a caliber to start to learn reloading on.

Nice test!
What was the distance the Oehler Cronograph was from the muzzle?
It is dificult to say from the picture, but it seems like around 6 feet (2 meters)?

Click to expand...

Skyscreen chronographs measure velocity midway between the "start" and "stop" screens (no offense intended, you probably know this but there may be some readers that don't).

I think the start screen was 9.5 feet. I was using a 9 foot spacing so the point the Oehler was measuring velocity would have been 14 feet in front of the muzzle (that is also the location of the "proof" screen...the Oehler makes two velocity measurements on every shot).

The Oehler measured velocity at 14 feet and I had two Garmins at the same distance from the muzzle. Therefore, my conclusion is that the Garmin measures velocity somewhere in front of the unit and uses interpolation to calculate the velocity at the unit.

Since they recommend you place the unit between 5 and 15 inches behind the muzzle, the only question would be "How much velocity difference is there between muzzle and 5 - 15 inches behind the muzzle.

I call the reading "Muzzle Velocity" and go from there.

(edited to correct the distance at which the measurement was taken. 1/2 of 9 is 4 1/2. so, 9.5 plus 4.5 = 14. DUH!)
