May I suggest you pick up another hobby...this one doesn't seem to suit you.

Both he and @FuhQ have sorta similar “enthusiastic” writing styles that can polarize folks. I try to cut through that and look at the core bit they are trying to communicate.

Not sure if that's a compliment, but... Thanks?

I do always try to be 100% truthful in my posts, even though some refuse to believe that or accept it because of personal hatred for me challenging the norm, their own personal brand bias, buyer's remorse, cost embarrassment vs. diminishing returns, fanboyism, stubbornness, or Fuddery. I also like to be thorough, because there's enough bullshit out there on the web, that it's hard to wade-through to get facts or honesty.

It’s just an observation, really. Neither good or bad.

You’re a higher-intensity fellow, and that tends to be reflected back.

It reminds me of a zen monk story where the student wonders why all people don’t act like monks. The zen master turns to him and says, “Would you wish the whole world a temple?”

Fine by me, it takes all types. If everyone was like me I’d be bored af lol

I was gonna say the same thing as mentioned a few posts up - I’m sure 95% of the issues woofer had encountered wouldn’t have happened on a 26lb 6br. Big recoil shows all sorts of issues that’d never show up otherwise.

SB puts scopes through 50 cycles of 750 G’s of force, equivalent to 50 BMG. I’ve communicated with Jerry about this first hand. I’m sure other companies do as well. People shoot BMGs without scope failure all the time. I don’t see how anyone can have such shitty luck as to have so many top tier scopes fail and then magically a budget scope prevails. Whatever is going on here just seems fucked.

I have had many scopes that have been 100% trouble free on the 50bmg ...and no issues....but have also had many that have failed.

DeathBeforeDiscount said he's had every brand and model scope shit out under his watch... So, I suppose some just have all the worst luck.

I have somewhat that luck, as well... Typically, if there's a lemon floating around out there, I'll end up with it. Kind of like my CarbonSix barrel that just wouldn't shoot. Visually, everything is perfect, other than the barrel threads being slightly off-center, but other than that, perfect... Just wouldn't shoot for shit. I haven't shot the replacement yet, but will in the next coming weeks (within the next month), as I have other things to test first.
