IMHO, there are a lot better paths to garner the attention/success he do desperately wants. Lots of examples right here on this board.
Well making you start 10 threads about me also works pretty well.
Thanks for the bump.
Did you find a man to mansplain shooting bulls in the chest, Blondie?

I don’t see how you can say that unless you’ve been effected by the continual, unfounded slander from the few goobers who just need to get a life.
If you continually get negative reactions you need to rethink your actions. Sometimes a little humility goes a long way.
A WIZARD ain't got time for your female sensitivities.
Suck it up, Blondie, and wash the sand out of your coochie.
You’re the only one reacting on an emotional level, except for Rick of course. LOL. 4 more days til you can give Kyle a free hunt with a free gun and free ammo and get some new pics to hang finally. Photoshop the 2005 you into the pic for bonus points rock star.
Could be Rick is boot licking to get a free hunt from Burns?

Lol. Shoot a pole full of does out of alfalfa fields?
That sounds great to me.
It’s the part where you have to climb up on some boulders and take a posed photo that would make a group of fat chicks at a bachelorette party jealous that gets me.

Don't fret it.
The Kewl guys had no intention of inviting you.
Lets call that a win win.
Lots of Leupold and lots of fun. But some Vortex sneaked in.
John Burns
I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
I'm VERY "surprised" to "learn",that Reupold is a rather poor choice for glass that tracks,repeats and retains zero. Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

many years ago, Stick was fan of the 6x42 leupold, IIRC, mounted on a slicked-up remington 700 in 280 AI, macmillan stock. kind of a recipe for an all-weather medium/big game hunting rifle; as i was on a tight budget,i cobbled a semi copy with a bedded ADL in .270 winchester and a nikon 6x42 and worked trigger; perfect for mid-long alabama deer hunting; a fine recipe indeed. but things change: some optics companies improve, some go downhill; some firearms companies go downhill, better ones appear; bullets improve. so here we are, and Stick has different opinions ...

Only an idiot never changes his opinions if the facts point to a different conclusion.

Yeah, but the gunsmith tested it and said it was perfect. All I need to know.
To me, static testing is of dubious value. It's useful to potentially save some ammo and heart ache by seeing if a scope is worth mounting to your rig in the first place, but beyond that, what does it prove?
IME, twisting the dials while the scope is clamped to a static mount isn't what causes scopes to go wonky. How a scope handles recoil, bouncing around on rough roads, accidental falls and/or drops while carrying, etc, are what concerns me.
I liked bringing up the old videos. Had to work yesterday, and this thread was good for some hearty laughs.
JB:
Nice shooting on "the elk" in reference. Seemed clear enough at full speed that the bullets were landing solid. As was pointed out, not a lot of people have a camera following them around to record the good and the bad, and I'd bet that footage of many in action wouldn't hold up too well to thier own scrutiny.
BS:
I greatly appreciate your brand of humor and, more importantly, your approach to testing gear. Who gives a chit if a piece of gear can handle being treated with kid gloves? I get a kick out of the dudes who are quick to point out all of the functionality that they don't expect from their equipment, as if it's some kind of virtue. Thanks for recording some of it for all posterity.

What it does is show you if the optic works in the first place before you mount it, saving you a lot of BS
Do you think that mounting a scope on your rifle, then going out and shooting it at various ranges tells you anything? How do you know when you dial 3.2 mils, that the scope actually moves the reticle 3.2 mils? How do you tell if your reticle subtentions are accurate?
I guess you just take the manufacturer’s word for it

RC:
I see the value of testing before mounting; I stated exactly that in the second sentence of my post.
And, yes, I do think that measuring poi vis a vis poa at various yardages and after dialing a bunch to and fro tells me what I need to know about how well my scope is built and how well it is doing it's job. Actually shooting also introduces recoil, drops, and rough rides on back roads into the testing process.
Do you trust that static testing tells you all you need to know about how well your scope is going to perform with other variables, or do you take it out to confirm by shooting?
It is VERY easy,to simply mount glass,padding inclination as required and secure the system. Hint.
From there,I've seen REAL bullets,from REAL barrels,exhibit REAL results. After zero,I've found it prudent to quantify come-ups,flog on erectors,whirl zoom,actuate parallax control,then rinse and repeat to denote REAL results. Which sadly,is none of the things Reupold will do with sanctity. Hint.
Shiny duds,shiny wares and Pancho Villa bandoleers...ain't the makings of reliable glass,if only obviously. Nor is a 3rd hand "Report",with nary a round fired,or close. Hint.

Of course you shoot, but it’s nice to know any POA/POI problems you may encounter aren’t due to the scope.
