Burris XTR2-best scope option for around 500 bucks?

Ended up with a XTR3 3x18 along with the XTR2 4x20. Xtr3 is the nicest and most expensive scope I’ve ever owned…stop laughing. It has better glass than the two, but both are good to go for anything I’m gonna do. Eye box is better on the XTR3, but you only notice it if you are shooting both in the same session. Love the zero stop system on the Burris rifles. Would love to find another Xtr2 4x20 for around 500 bucks if I had to get another scope.

Wow! I thought mine were heavy at 26 pounds. Great looking rifles.

Talk about Fake news

The scarier version of this shit is that the gov with a little bit of info from you could literally use this stuff to frame their enemies for whatever they wanted and the masses will believe it because in about 10 years that tech is gonna be so realistic most won’t be able to tell.

howa 1500 mini 5.56 vs 223

just got1 at a local show,marked 223. asked an ffl holder that i know has pretty deep knowledge. he said that he had done a deep dive on a t3x that he had. he found that if the gun (his tikka) has CIP dimensions that 5.56 in 223 marked is fine as the CIP dimensions are a bit longer and thus safe for 5.56.
question is does anyone know about the howa dimensions CIP vs SAMMI. my guess,not knowing,is howa maybe SAMMI. they make guns for US market (weatherby vanguard). but they sell more guns in AUS,i believe. would assume CIP as AUS is Brit influenced largely. so,pretty much no clue.
if anyone knows where or how to search that,LMK. i tried but weak googlefu.
getting the chamber cut to Wylde is also a option. thanks for any clues.

Neighbor's horses in my property problem (texas)

I agree with this. Horses are just big dogs they love attention and treats , get some alfalfa cubes and you'll have horse buddies for ever , of course like all aminals there are assholes and mean as shit horses out there so be careful.

Having lived with horses they'll be in the way if you do that, also they destroy fences/trees/are just a pain in the ass

I wouldn't take them for granted either they can kick your head off

Rifle Scopes ATACR DIOPTER LOCK RING (i'm an idiot)

I found this youtube video and he spins it counter clockwise from behind the scope to lock it, what the F LOL

Why would nightforce say clockwise while looking down the muzzle of a gun, that isn't how you use a scope. if you're going to say clockwise or counterclockwise it should be from the position YOU USE A SCOPE. lol

The Mangione Effect: 2 dead Jewish Embassy Staffers

Does ANY war have to happen? Not if sane minds prevail. One can play the “ what if “ game until the cows come home. Nobody stepped up when Hitler invaded Poland and the Sudetenland. The Japanese got the jump in the Pacific until Midway. In the end, the Axis powers were an existential threat to democracy and Western civilization. In that respect , IMHO, WWII became “ necessary “ . Just one 77 year old guy’s opinion that he will take to his grave.
a 78 yo opinion that will last til the end

I'm a vietnam Era veteran and we would have loved to hear , thank you for your service, instead all we got was looks of despise and hate , consider yourself lucky, although I prefer thank your for your sacrifice, sounds better to my old ears.
I'm a 'Cold War' vet, mid 80s. I generally got indifference and sideways looks after I got out. Not great, but a lot better than what you dealt with.

I still haven't gotten used to 'Thank you for your service', and I really don't know how to respond. I didn't even sign up for .mil discounts until a couple years ago.

Sour Dough Balistics

@lash
Yes that is very popular.

It's extremely simple to do.
I use sun dried tomatoes from a resealable bag, no jars sitting around open. I rehydrate them in olive oil and make sure to use enough oil that it can be used in your recipe. You can dice raw garlic in it but roasted is way better.

Take a dry pan or griddle toss some garlic on it still with the paper husk on it. Flip it a couple times side to side untill it changes color / slightly blackens and smells good.

The peak will come off easily but I normally cut the little hard end off and squeeze the garlic out it will be soft.

That goes into the oil and tomato bath.

Rifle Scopes ATACR DIOPTER LOCK RING (i'm an idiot)

Not sure why this is so hard for me to figure out but I cant seem to lock the diopter. The instructions say that after you get your diopter where you want it grasp it and hold it still while you rotate the lock ring clockwise (this puts the lock ring up against the magnification ring). I torque it down then go to move the diopter and it's not locked at all, it spins freely changing the diopter without moving the magnification. ...I don't get it.

If I spin the lock ring counterclockwise putting it up against the diopter it seems to lock it as one unit
