I'll probably get flamed to death for using the word "lapping," but here goes.

I was putting some rings on an Athlon scope for a squirrel .22 tonight. Like a lot of rings, these have 4 screws each on top. That means it's possible to have all 4 corners of the caps at different heights, and there is no way to measure their heights accurately.

So if you get in there with your lapping tool and get everything true, and then you take the screws out, put the scope on, and put the screws back in, how is it possible that you will get the caps back on exactly as they were before you lapped them? If you can't, isn't it pretty likely you'll throw off all your lapping work?

This looks like a softball for anti-lappers.

In short; it isn't possible to guarantee that each screw is back to the same .001" of depth that it was while you were lapping. The bottom half though should at least be more correctly aligned.

You won't make it perfect, but you should at least make it better.

Then you get to deal with lapping compound and the scope slipping. I attempted this about 20 years ago and remember the results...finally realizing that I needed to use some rubbing alcohol and elbow grease to get all of that crap cleaned off.

I'm not an anti-lapper per se, but I haven't had the need to go that route again in a long time since I started investing in better rings/mounts.

Thank you, is the Zastava registered as an SBR?

It’s a CNC Warrior brace

Are there any other descent options for bravo style chassis for the tikka's.

Don't really care for the mdt, and i have never been behind an actual chassis, so not sure if i would like them or not, i do like the modularity of them though, seems like it would have a similar feel to ar's. Not many people in NE Arkansas that i know of, do a lot of long range stuff, even though there is plenty of places to shoot, with all the rice and cotton fields. From my dad's house to the river, I have little over a mile shot if I was capable and had a gun that could.

Brand new Victrix Venus Pro, rough load test Thursday, Friday sightin, Saturday/Sunday NRL22 finale in Australia. Snagged third place with a brand new untested rifle. Got to be happy with that

I have the B14R and T1X in a KRG bravo. If there’s any chance you’d carry hunting or what not the tikka is lighter. My next may very well be a CZ.

If you’re building a range/bench gun then B14R would be a great choice.

The tikka I have is a 16”. Running a TBAC 22 takedown on it with a thermal.

On certain lots of SK ammo they’ll go supersonic in my B14R and have the loud crack even suppressed. The 16” tikka doesn’t have this issue. The tikka has an awesome trigger from the box as well. Plan to upgrade the B14R trigger

If I wanted a nice 22 that I can use for target with hunting mixed in it be a T1X or CZ

The B14R is nice as a clone/heavy setup as it takes 700 parts. That said if you want to carry extra mags the B14R are AICS pattern. So they’re huge in comparison to the others. I also have a BMR in 22 mag. That’s more comparable to the tikka in regards to weight and magazines

What does the tikka in the bravo weigh?

I like the Bergara, and it would probably end up cheaper after I buy a bravo for the Tikka. My current day coyote rig is a savage with criterion heavy varmint profile, in a manners t5a, so im used to toting around a heavy rifle. Night time right is fairly heavy also. Not that I don't have enough irons in the fire, I'm wanting to build a matching pair in 22cm and 6cm for hunting/target shooting.

@savage dave did you end up buying a Victrix?

I was quite tempted by a Venus Pro but hit the buy button.

The new Anschutz 1761 APR Gen2 looks like a sweet rifle, personally I would lively go that direction rather than a Victrix.

Yeah got a 26" Victrix Venus Pro. Great decision, balances great, functions reliably, not overly fussy on ammo. For an out of the box solution I'm extremely happy with it

I don't get it.

If I'm going through the trouble of finding a glass, it's going to have whiskey in it.

Beer comes out of a can or bottle from the cooler, as God intended.

Kegs. Bottles. Cans only if you have to.

Classic rifle!

It was a money grab, Ferrari merchandise sales exploded something crazy like 40%. That is a lot of money. lewis will ride out his 2-3 years and ride off into the sunset with a couple hundred million more.
IMO the only possibility is if Ferrari nails the rules changes for next year, then he may have #8.

Yea that's understandable but from a pure race and performance aspect it was a poor choice. Can't really blame the car when George routinely was out performing him. Seeing the same with leclerc now.

What i really want to see is piastri destroy Norris. Next to George he's my least favorite driver by a large margin.

I heard a very long time ago...
It's a wound that never heals.
The more ya rub it, the better it feels.
Ain't enough soap, this side of hell, to ever remove that codfish smell.

One day after my grandfather and grandmother had a disagreement about something, he told me that we were going fishing.

We sat on that little spring fed slough about 45 minutes to be hour catching big old bluegill.

He finally broke the silence and said

"When God was passing out brains, ours fell into the head of our dick, but because women have a gash, theirs fell smooth out!"

Sat in silence for another 30-40 minutes and he replied with

"God is a jokester, he gave men 2 heads and only enough blood to run one at a time."

In the 12-13yrs I lived with them, other than the cigarette caper, it was the only time I saw them cross with each other and both lasted half a day at best or until breakfast with the cigarette caper.

This is the Angle Degree Indicator (ADI) not cosine. Is this the Mil-spec version or civilian?

Would you rather have them live next to you or in their own area? I wish more people would act like this.

In their own area, on the opposite side of the planet, would be acceptable.

Would you rather have them rape your daughter or just go to the same school? How 'bout fucking neither...

I would rather have them move completely out of our country. If they think Islam and Sharia Law is so great then they should move to another country where that is the law of the land.
