Ladies,

Electronic Hurt Feeler Reports Filed Here. Hint.

Reupold Warranty work. Hint.







Thelma and Louise,do NOT "forget" that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Pardon my powers being so GREAT,that you need to "borrow" the punctuation. I know it isn't fair,but pardon wares that exist,as you Melting Snowflakes try to console each other's Hurt Feelers. Good "luck" on THAT! Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Just got an Argos HMR that will not focus…guess I get to try out there warranty but I’m not happy as I haven’t got a single shot from it…

I hear good thangs about the BTR Gen 2 '12x FFP Mil/Mil Lit Bitches. Hint................

Stick which 34mm rings are you liking for your herd of Arkens

They’re a few bucks off so might give one a shot

I think rather highly of their rings,as they've really been exceptional. Hint..............

Copy that

You have to order a least a dozen to get a good one

Pictures don’t lie and worth a thousand hints

Ladies,

I've "only" shot a couple dozen BTR Gen 2 FFP Mil/Mil '12X's and patiently await the first "issue",with barely a few hunnert scopes in whole to reflect upon in extrapolation. Hint.

Rest ASSURED,that the heartfelt Whine from those who "do" the least,sure is fhuqking soothing. Perhaps stomp your feet,to add some Hissy to your Fit?!? Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

Combined with 50,000 hours of battery life, the Midas Flash is ready for duty, self-defense, and competition use.

Tripod Saddle Mount

Athlon’s Saddle Mount adds a range of options to any tripod system that utilizes an Arca-style mount – especially Athlon’s new line of carbon fiber tripods. This tactical saddle vise features an extremely smooth adjustment dial, side and bottom pads for recoil reduction, a clamping range of 1.1 – 2.6 inches, and still manages to maintain a weight of 3.5 oz. Our unique 7-degree inward-facing clamp design makes our saddle much more compatible with traditional rifle stocks than the designs of other manufacturers.

FYI, all these new products are in stock on our website except the Tactical Spotter which we have on order and should have shortly

I like the Athlon stuff I've tried, but the Athlon saddle mount is $150, and the Bog Pod version ( I've had one for 4 years now and it works great) is $70. What am I missing?

If you've had it for 4 years and it's all good then this might not be significant, however, the biggest difference is the Athlon has not one piece of plastic on the whole piece. It is well put together and sort of in a different class all together as most accessory items.

I'd like to see an 8x fixed with about a 40 mm objective and parallax adjustment down to 10 yards. A nice milquad style reticle and a small capped windage dial. A forgiving eyebox like a leupold 6x42 would. E nice and so would hd glass. Make it rugged and air gun rated. Kund of like the sfwa ss fixed but with 8x I wouldn't have to decide between 6x or 10x I'd just ho with 8x every time.

Bb

I think that's a great idea! I will pass it up the chain of command.

I like the 8x idea. I just got your 10x last week and have it mounted but have not used it yet. Since you don't make a 6x, and they are popular around these parts, consider a 7x or 8x similar to you 10x. I know I would buy at least one of them. I like the reticle on the 10x with the little I have played with it, so I would keep it the same or put the 2-12 reticle in there. That would be ideal for squirrels in the top of trees.

The 2-12x BTR Gen2 Mil/Mil LitBitch is simply fhuqking EXCEPTIONAL and more than covers these Goat Fhuqk Notions. Hint.

It plays well on all action lengths,is forgiving in all avenues and simply connect all mechanical dots. The Daylight Bright Illumination is wayyyyyyyyy ahead of the fhuqking curve,as are locking turrets and mechanical zero stop,which when combined with the etched reticle,crush all else. 10yd parallax control and 35+ Mil's of erector travel,make it not even "fair". Hint.

Near/far,with zero fhuqks or concessions given,do tend to RULE the roost. In reflection and talking fixed 6's and 10's,I've had well over 100 of 'em through the years and none can touch the 2-12x. Hint.............

Stick,
What is your opinion of the 4-20x50 BTR? Reticle as useful as the 2-12?

The 4-20x and 2-12x are WORLD's apart,as Utility goes. I liken the '20x to Giggles Glass,slated to Play Toys,which isn't outright condemnation. It is farrrrrrrrrr more fickle in eye-relief,eyebox,relative quickness and PALES in versatility,as Killing Glass goes. Now as a Play Toy goes,it might could appeal to some,but I'm slow to get painted in a corner. Hint.

The '20x's center is but 1/6th of the '12's diameter. That might be fair to middlin' on a Play Toy,but it gets UGLY quick,for Killing in The Real World. The 12x's Day Bright Illumination is simply fhuqking SENSATIONAL. Hint.








Less is soooooooooo fhuqking much MORE. Hint..................

Agree with above. I like the 4-20 fine but the 2-12 is a great set up on a hunting gun. They both dial and work like scopes costing about 3x more.

2- 4-20’s and 5 - 2-12’s so far. They make stuff pretty easy.
