Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Formidilosus - paid forum user?

If you're throwing jabs, you're in the ring, not the stands, no matter how much you try to pretend you're "above it."

You bet, JG. We're all here because we enjoy cussing and discussing this stuff.

Ugh...really? This is the ‘hunting optics’ forum right?

People can read, and some even know what section they’re reading in. You prs pansies can bugger off to some prs pansy sub forum. None of your horsesh1t matters here.

Killers for the win.

Just cussin and discussin.

Boy that was pretty level headed with no emotion.

You sure this belongs in this section

Just perusing this thread early in the morning... I've got a couple of old Tasco 4 x 16 scopes on top of a few rifles, that I use for shooting sage rats. They have sent rounds down range and have killed thousands upon thousands of sage rats, reliably out to and pass 200 yds. Does that mean these scopes pass all these varying tests? Does it mean they are excellent scopes? Especially considering they were bought with prices being between $69 and $75 bucks?

If it does the job you desire out of a scope, does that count at all, or do we all need the most expensive scope on top, to do the job or to impress the crowds? Me having a $2000 scope on top of a rifle, would be like me putting 100 octane fuel, in the old VWs I use to drive back in my college days...wouldn't get me there any faster, or get me any better gas mileage.

If it does what I want, and I can see out of it, with my less than perfect eye sight, does what I need to do...and at least for me...I don't require that nice Night Force on top to impress anyone. Maybe if I had perfect eye sight still... but since I don't.

Brad should be banned from the Optics forum. There's only so much Rick can let slide...

I’m with you, that honest and concise rhetoric won’t be tolerated for long.

I've had several scopes that were reliable killers and reliably bad. They may have dialed OK, but they still sucked.
For instance, I had an Athlon that looked OK, seemed to dial OK, but had 3 MOA of parallax that couldn't be adjusted out. Would it have killed OK? Yeah, if you could put your head in the same spot every time.

Other scopes that wouldn't dial for schitt but were reliable killers. Just keep your paws off the dials.

Who you talking to? I’ve never shot a prs thing in my life. I don’t even know or care what prs is. All I do is hunt. But I also know when I read something sensible from an intelligent person.

From a sensible hunter? Or prs pansy? You sure you’re getting the appropriate perspective for subject at hand?

We need to talk to Rick. This whole reasonable rhetoric cannot be tolerated any further.

We get it. You got embarrassed at the local outlaw match, so now you have an axe to grind with competitive shooters. It's gonna be just fine.

Have the Form haters listened to the Shoot2hunt podcast #34? I think it provides context and clarification.

For backcountry hunting, a lot of guys are using a scabbard or a padded scope protector.

I would like to see drop tests with a padded scope protector.

I use a scabbard made by a member here. Very light and good. Good insurance.

Come on now Calvin. That's just silly. A real man drags his equipment through the muck and brush, and smears his hands with Crisco to make sure it slips periodically.

Not a hater but I made it about six minutes and that was all I could take.

Two + hours, not a chance.

I was busy changing the air in my tires.

Cliff notes?

Lol, me at a match?

Hunt only, I like gear, and trialling, in field, my own gongs, my own 3d targets...then hunting, or fishing. Not playing touch willy at some match doing a bunch of the wrong kind of practice. But hey, if you’re bored and shoot is what your hobby is then giver. Hunt is mine. They still don’t make a match proper for hunting. 3d archery is close but where is that for the bang sticks? 200 rounds, sighters, little square plates (great on target reference...not), sighters, teams, much of it past real hunting distances, requiring unrealistic gear and methods. Don’t worry, even if they did get it right I’d still be hunting or fishing instead lol and prs pansies can tell my walls and my freezer how amazing ffp/mil Hubble tank is for filling both. 200 rounds...lmfao. The latest f-class.

I had this go round on rokslide and a guy who dove right in admitted he was so wrapped up in it his walls and freezer were empty. Guess some of you need to figure out what’s more important. Trying to be some rockstar to other dudes in matches or just out there doing it without giving a flying fack if anyone knows about it. And this these threads in hunting optics sections going on and on about all this useless sh1t.

Lol...we will right this ship. People will wake up and we will find ourselves a new trend to turn into a big ole money factory. Prs is a dandy right now but we will come full circle and focus on what’s fastest simplest toughest and best for 0-600 yards HUNTING prep, including a competition lol. And it won’t have square targets and it won’t be 200 rounds and it won’t have guns over 10 lbs, save your ‘but but nrl’ arguments, same wrong with it, not enough right. 1/2 to 3/4 sec time of flights like 3d, where killin happens, animals with flappers, solo, custom and reload, and factory including ammo, a box of shells a day.

Like I said, drag this crap into the prs pansy touch willy sub forums where it belongs. I get to be rude like this here lol, it’s great. So many lost in the weeds, can’t see the forest. 😉

Wow.

You guys are rollin.

Have Formy (Chuck) call me when he kills a nice bull. Note Gold Ring.

I'll be waiting.
