Mr. Burns,
I had hoped that you were a Gentleman and might respond without any undue rancor. Unfortunately I was mistaken and you've choosen to respond in a manner that says a good deal about you.

1. I apologize for using "revolutionary". It might have been been more productive to list the advantages your system offers.

2. In what way is your scope "way more" than slightly massaged?

3. I'll take your word for it that I don't know the advantages of using MOA versus Milliradians.

4. I do apologize for using the term "ballistic cheat sheet". I meant to indicate a computer generated drop and drift sheet that you had confirmed in the field.

5. I have a GA Precision Rifle or two, amongst others, however, I can't think of anything on par with your rifle. Further I know, without debate, I don't have any optical gear in the same ballpark as your Custom Leupold.

6. I apologize about misidentifying the Dual Dovetails. They are good mounts for the money and the mounts on your rifle look similar from a distance.

7. I should have said aluminum. You are quite right yet again.

8. "If our system is a known quantity please show me videos showing this to be true"(.) I don't know that your rifle is a "known quantity" and as far as I am aware you've already posted numerous videos. The same videos I complimented you on in the initial post.

9. You are quite right. I have never used the .264 Winchester Magnum with or without VLD projectiles. I had hoped you would share a bit more information about the combination.

Unfortunately I can't say that your response helped out. I found you to be rude, combative, assumptive, and generally thought the entire response could be said to have talked down to the audience. All in all I consider it, fwiw, an opportunity lost on your behalf. Not to mention making it clear how you conduct yourself and hence your business. Unless I miss my guess you're mouth will be the greatest hinderance to your success.

I look forward to watching you win over the boards...

Best Regards, Matt Garrett

He wonders why no one takes him up on the "challenge".

And not everyone is born a tool and die maker either.

So what.

Has that photo been downsampled to a lower number of pixels than before?

Still bogus as when it first appeared.

Matt,

Didn't mean to be rude or show any rancor. You asked me to point out you mistakes when you provided an unsolicited critque of my products.

I did and now I am the bad guy? Heck I even used one of those smiley faces

A peek through a 4-16X56 Hensoldt....Ok you mildot guys, how far?

Remember, the Vector never lies.....(grin)

Velvet bull from this summer...



One of my favorites..as seen through a S&B 4-16X50 PMII GenII

The size paradox...is it a small deer at a short range, or a larger deer further away???

But take heart, we are not the only ones to ponder lifes mysteries (from about the 30 second point)

Small or Far Away???

5-25X56 S&B PMII25X. It's a coyote. Notice the the bolt handle is down..about 700 meters out.

Exactly why I dont leave home without the Vector.

Too small....fun though. And way harder than just shooting them. Taking through the scope pics of critters that is...

In your pictures the things outside of but nearby the scope are in focus.

I've spent all of my extra money on rifles and scopes instead of my camera....

I'm not commenting negatively on your camera in any way. My point is your pictures are fair to the scopes.

The pic (not yours) I've been bulldogging is like a shot of a TV screen allegedly showing how bad the TV's picture is, but the stuff in the cabinet right next to the TV is fuzzy and out of focus. The "evidence" of the TV being bad is no good.

No harm done....I only post in here to have fun and bs with other hunter guys.

Your pics are fantastic and speak for themselves as to your hunting ability. I always look to see what you've posted. Keep it up.

You get out there and do some really neat stuff, and so do a lot of the other guys.

I'm a casual hunter. I get out to a stand well before it's light and see if a deer I'd like to shoot will amble by.

But even with my casual style I've been able to observe how different scopes perform under a lot of light and atmospheric conditions.

I try to be as honest as I can, so the touting of obviously flawed evidence bugged me.
