    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    The floating dot needs to be large enough to actually see at all magnifications. That's the biggest issue for me with all tree reticles for the most part and what I least like about my Razor GIII 6-36 is the dot is too small to see well at any magnification.

    choosing a bullet for 6 creed

    I have 2-6CM's, a GA Precision w/Bartlein barrel and an RPR with a White Oak Wilson barrel. The Berger 108 is what I mostly use as it shoots very well and is more often in stock compared to the 105. The Sierra 107 shoots just as well and when in stock is less expensive than the Berger. Just for...

    Conflicting reccomendations about break in and cleaning routine

    I'm in the just shoot it camp. Life is too short to waste time and ammo on some arbitrary break-in procedure. Get your zero, which is going to change anyway, shoot what you're going to shoot, go home and clean it. "Break-in" is done.

    Snow-pocolypse 2025

    Don't know about Louisiana but the entire state of Florida has 11 plows. It's 365 miles from Pensacola to Jacksonville. That's a lot of work for 11 plow drivers.

    Cabelas Covenant 7 vs Arken Ep5

    I have an EP5 & a Viper PST GII 5-25. My eyes say the Viper has better glass. I like the reticle better in the Viper but I see the center dot better in the EP5. I also prefer the illumination in the Viper as well as the lighter weight. The Viper is on a CZ457 & the size and weight are better...

    Who "scares" you the most???

    The EPA. They can shut down your range. They can determine what ammo you can shoot. They can say where you can (can't) shoot or hunt. They can determine what gunpowder you can use. They can regulate how much noise you can generate. The list is endless it seems.

    Tammy Duckworth Lays Into Hegseth

    Standards. I've been bitching about them for too long. As a 50+ year old trooper I had to pass our annual fitness test at a higher level than a 21 year old female right out of the Academy. I had to run faster, lift a greater percentage of weight, more sit-ups...... I don't know what the military...

    My nephew is a Firefighter/Paramedic with Deland Fire Dept. I hope he wasn't on this call.

    Target interpretation help.

    I have to question your chronograph data as you had quite a few shots not recorded. I'm also thinking there's some inconsistency in your technique as your groups show some pretty wild horizontal and verticlal. That said, I'd pick a load that has worked for many others, ie; 44.0, or a velocity...

    Giving up booze.

    Heavy drinking for wayyyyy too many years on top of work related demons on top of, whatever, it doesn't matter. Making coffee one morning and my brain shut off. Like flipping a switch shut off. Got the fancy ride to the ER and when all was said and done, the medical team 5 days later told me in...

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    Quoting drinking was harder for me than quitting smoking. Smoking I don't miss at all and can't stand being around one who does smoke. Nearly 5 years since I quit drinking and I still miss it. A lot. But I am stronger than any desire to drink anymore. Sorry for your loss those years ago. I can...

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    You have to have a reason that is personal to you and you alone. You must decide for yourself. Someone else cannot make the decision for you. Someone else's reason won't work for you. It's not one day at a time, it's one smoke at a time. The urge to smoke lasts about 6-8 minutes. Who can't...

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    Quit cold turkey, 2-3 packs a day to nothing, in 1982. Never cheated once. Never restarted or dipped or cigars or pipes. Nothing. Quit cold and kept it that way for 43 years now.

    This might make for an interesting discussion...

    $3500-10000 per acre. I once looked at a 35 acre property the asking price was $135.000, 3800 per acre. I could have had the acre lot next to my house for 10,000 in about the same time frame. Forest Preserve got a huge referendum passed and started buying every tract they could with about $200M...
