It’s a game changer! Casey Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.

beretzs Campfire Ranger B Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 15,303 Northeast USA	My Garmin has been great from 22 Magnum up through 22-250 so far. Used it for the K-Hornet yesterday, never misses a beat. Had a couple leftover shots for the ML from this past season, so I checked them while I was out. Did some speed/pressure checks with the Mashburn and 172 Absolute Hammers in the Mashburn.. Put a bunch of rounds through it with the 17 WSM testing out a new lot of ammo and again, never missed a shot. Semper Fi

Showing $586.54 now. No, unfortunately I had some large unplanned expenses in February so was only window shopping for when the bank account recovers. Amazon is back up to $599.99 this morning which appears to be the standard. That's their cheapest price, they're showing a lot of them with prices going up from there. This is the first time I'd been shopping for one, obviously the price at the big retailers will fluctuate daily with instant supply and demand calculations. Oh well, wasn't going to buy this month anyway so will just keep an eye on things. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I think Don knows that, but he has his IIRC in a case that’s big enough to hold it assembled. Mine goes in a small camera case with a separate pocket on the front for the tripod, and fits neatly in my smallish range bag. What fresh Hell is this?

No more notebooks??????? 2 things that will never be obsolete in this world are the lead pencil and the humble shovel. Every additional year of live proves it. When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
