I have been watching for a campfire entrepreneur to establish a salvage clearing house for Leupold optics so I can dump mine and at least get 25 cents on the dollar.

If you managed to keep track of who was on what side, or if there were only two sides, you kept up better than me.

When a thread starts out talking about a train wreck, if the question is can we make a bigger, or at least different, train wreck . . . oh hell yes. This is the Fire, is it not? .



I do my best to keep these things on track....... but this bunch is out of control.... wink

Have you ever been to Port O'Connor Texas? Sounds like it. It's one of the most entertaining boat ramps in the world. You want to see drunks fight? That's the place. What's funny is on Sunday afternoon and some Houston guy is pulling his boat out and gets into it with one of the locals and gets his ass whipped. Don't screw with locals who have anchors tattooed on both arms and excessive facial hair with his hat on sideways and a cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth doing the Bogart and beer on their breath. It's bad enough when two city boys get into it.
If you're real lucky you get to see an occasional car back off into the Intercoastal. There's no end to the entertainment.

Launched at POC a time or two. Never saw what you describe, but I don't doubt you and I don't doubt you can find similar at most boat ramps across the country. Maybe they are all mellow in California? I think the ones in small towns with locals who resent city folk might add to the proceedings. I suspect those around salt water might have a bit tougher locals, as salt water is hard on damn near everything. Finally, the ramps in POC tend to be right on the intercoastal, so you get waves and usually a bit of wind. That makes smart boat handling even more important, and thus causes poor boat handling to be amplified and lead to fights.

Now how did we get here starting out about a condescending webinar from a company in Oregon? Oh, yeah, . . . we ARE the 'Fire!

Well done Carnac...😬😎


I could just as easily predict irfubr would show up on any given thread and take a big swaddling dump right in the middle of it, and be right, 100% of the time. Would that make me a genius or irfubar a tool?


Roy, referring to Fubar as phallic symbol by calling him a “tool” is mean. I know that remark cut him deep and possibly brought a tear to his eye...😎

This is where I am. Only I haven't yet had a big problem with the ocular lens adjustment lock ring.

I do acknowledge that my older Leupolds don't track real well. I have a VX-3 L that's all over the place until I get close to zero. But I'm not a knob twister, as I've said on here before. I set my scopes at the range and use hold over and Kentucky Windage in the field. However, my new VX-3is seem to track well. But that's at the range while zeroing in. Once I've got it Zeroed in I don't touch it. So I don't know how they'd do in the field twisting knobs.

I'm not getting rid of my Leupolds anytime soon. Like you say, NF and some of those others are cost prohibitive due to being on a fixed income.

On here it's Leupold Scopes. On my other favorite forum it's .270s that get bashed. I use both so I'm screwed one way or another. That's why I go back and forth between forums. I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.

So Leupold uses the Campfire model.


I have to admit, that made me laugh.


How’s the “toy hauler” coming?


It'd be going faster but for having to build all the little compartments for the matchbox cars. Thanks for asking.

Brother Beav,

I try to the best of my abilities to keep these threads civil and on track and avoid personal attacks and name calling. Unfortunately for my efforts I get called a "simpleton", a "tool", a "prick" and my intelligence is brought to question.......

These harsh words do indeed cut deep and sadden me..... frown

Fortunately these drooling cross eyed dumbfuuk's opinion counts about as much as a retarded 8yr old Tom 264....... jealous bitch's..... hahahaha

Oh and BH I forgive you for calling me an azzhole.... smile I bow to the king of the Adirondacks..... smile
