    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    I think it’s also important to note that only about a quarter of their employees are in the US. They have about twice as many employees in Taiwan than the US and the rest are in other various countries. Not shitting on Garmin here, just adding perspective. Edit: That number also depends on...

    Any 1911 aficionados here?

    Once you get used to that obnoxious checkering you’ll love the feel of it. At least that’s how it was for me.

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    I don’t think anyone is saying that either. Taiwan might not be the slave labor capital of the world but it sure aint at zero either. And I would venture to say they get a lot of their parts from China. So it’s all in how much is acceptable to you. Is some ok to a point or is it all bad...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    I suppose we all have our own place in that spectrum of what we deem as an acceptable level of foreign made vs ripoff’s vs affordable alternatives vs what amount of slave labor we are willing to accept for whatever reasons that might be. For that reason I don’t see this hurting Garmin much. It...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Well considering the Garmin is made in Taiwan they probably get their parts from the same place. I suppose they could have made it a triangle shape instead of a rectangle though.

    Rifle Scopes New EOTech 3-9x32 SFP Opinion Thread

    I like it. I think it has a few kinks to be ironed out but I think if people give it a chance that it could do well. To me it seems like it’s trying to bridge a gap between prism optics and LPVO’s. For sure it’s not an optic for an SPR, but for more general purposes. I don’t mind it being sfp...

    Any 1911 aficionados here?

    I’ve had my TRP for about 18 years now and love it. Never a problem out of it and I have shot thousands of rounds through it. I have a Springfield Marine Corps Operator (original version) and a Champion Operator LW as well and they’re nice but I really like the TRP.

    MDT Field Stock Arca

    Henderson Precision makes arca rails that don’t have the mlok protrusions. I have one and it works well on my Savage Stealth Evolution chassis where I have limited mlok slots available.

    Are You Ever Amazed?

    To add to that it was either the Friday night or Saturday morning after doing the EIB ruck march. I named the rifle “Nutsack”.

    Are You Ever Amazed?

    Sitting around years ago assembling my first AR over the weekend in my underwear. I launched a detent and spring. I found the detent right away but I looked everywhere for the spring for two days and finally found it in the front flap of my underwear that Sunday night.

    Oh yeah I don’t listen to him or even usually watch his videos. I was basically just calling out his bs.

    Why are non-translating turrets desirable?

    I missed a perfect head shot on a coyote because of an accident like that once about ten years ago. I suppose if someone only ever shoots on a range they wouldn’t see where it matters. If you actually use your rifle though the chance is there. I’m hyper vigilant on checking my turrets now...

    Why are non-translating turrets desirable?

    I have both. Neither bother me. The ones that raise and lower do so in such a small amount that I don’t notice it much. No trip wires on my range though :)

    Advanced Marksmanship How to convert inche drop at 1000 Yards to Mils

    Distance depends on what you’re trying to true. You true BC close to transonic which for 5.56 mk262 is close to 700 yards. For a 308 168 smk it’s closer to 800 yards. For my 6.5 it’s just past 1000 yards. All of these are “over” 600 yards. And I true velocity at 500 yards and it works just...

    No shit! Maybe if you read what I wrote you’d have seen that’s what I said. Jesus you’re observant. Mach 1.2 is where you true BC
