    Rifle Scopes Arken Zero Stop, set up for speed drop?

    I have a question in regards to the OP's optic. Is it possible to NOT set the zero stop at all? I mean.....its safe to assume that your scope has revolution index lines. Just do what us old guys did before zero stop was even a thing......remember your rev count in regards to your zero, log...

    Anyone Shooting a 40x?

    Having owned a few and shot a few buddies'.....your wasting time. Go get an old small bolt face 700 action and have .222 barrel spun up. Slap a aftermarket trigger in and bed a stock. I've personally wanted a .17 Rem repeater. Waiting for a real 40X to wander by isn't all it's cracked up to...

    M40a1 build guide

    15 days early doesn't sound plausible for a joke. Day before April 1st or on April 1st....yeah I'm a stupid asshole....you got me. If sales guys are fucking with customers 15 days early. Boss might be like get back to work boys. Plus there's been a scope sign up list thread for a while now.

    Pickup Truck Trend - Chain hanging from the front bumper

    They used to pull these tow hooks off boom truck builds at my old work and just scrap them. I asked if I could pick them out of the scrap bins and boss was like sure. I sold a dozen or more of them to local tech school diesel douches for a nice little bonus. The factory tow hooks on some of...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I'd wager the heavier pill and 18" barrel.....could it be the bullet going transonic to subsonic and just not handling it well?

    Scope dope

    I have a quick question.... If you have your speed drop. Is there much need for the backup at all? Having a backup dope card is great....no question there. But paint marker 1.6 on the gun/scope somewhere and roll would be even easier as a fall back would it not?

    Spotters Question about calling out Mills at different distances.

    The shooter should be seeing his own misses at a grand (plenty of time of flight to recover) to need you lurking in the shadows bunkered forward of his muzzle.

    Vortex Razor HD Gen2 4.5-27x56 or Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 APRS6 and switching to MRAD from MOA.

    Learn MRAD. Do it solely just so you can say you can run either at any time. Make it about competency....not whether one is better or not. They function the basically the same. It's pretty much been proven what is vastly more popular than the other in your stated use case. And it's been...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Finally got out to the range today. We had a 50°F low wind day in January which is about 75 degrees warmer than normal. Left work early to get out and beat the sunset. I literally had nothing set up right so it was a mad rush to reset the eye relief, reticle cant, recoil spring tension, and...

    Why would my groups open up suddenly?

    These guns need cleaning. Lol I average 1 to 2 times per brick. And I'm not one of those uber anal retentives about cleaning. Have a carbon and a stainless.
