I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I built a Surgeon actioned rifle for Match shooting so no mounts to move and I tend to use Rugers for hunting and I don't ride quads. I have seen 8X40 screws break too. M24 running a MIRS rail and NightForce with a lot PVS-26 time.
Even if you hadn't read the book you had thought about the potential weak points in the optic/mounting system and worked to eliminate them and arrived at the same conclusion he did.
On a side note I did see a brand new out the box and mounted that same morning H-58 3-15 NXS F1 take a dump. We took it off the rifle and you could hear something rattle inside. The reticle couldn't be brought into focus. Not sure what turned out to be wrong with it.

I've consulted with my florist and the hand bag sales"man", Ren�, at Dillard's, and they both agree that your tone and attitude reek of insubordination. Insubordination is the act of willfully disobeying one's superior. It covers disrespectful language directed at a superior. .
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

You may consider a consultation with Tyrone', your Proctologist, and see if by chance he can assist you with the removal of your head from your ass as well... Your Megalomania will soon put you in a place that is hard to escape, that would be a fools fate... In your delicate and fragile state I doubt highly you would be able to recover the consequences... Megalomania, which is also known as a superiority complex, is a psychological disorder in which the affected individual experiences an exaggerated feeling of self-importance. This is generally the result of an underlying inferiority complex. The individual likely feels inadequate or unimportant in some way and attempts to compensate for this with an illusory superiority and egotism. The individual may have received such praise and admiration as a child that feelings of superiority carried over into adulthood. Other possible causes of a superiority complex include emotional abuse, excessive criticism, and overindulgence from parents. While these individuals may claim to be an expert or highly skilled in certain areas, they are fully aware that they are not superior to others.

Are there any light weight scopes that track worth a damn? All the scopes tested were too heavy to put on most hunting rigs and they didn't even pass. Seems kinda hopeless to think a >200z scope could stand a chance. I'm not a fan of hold over reticles but I'm even less of a fan of having a scope not track correctly or return to zero.

I haven't had much luck finding a light weight scope that tracks consistently. Obviously haven't tried them all, but had failures with burris, and leupold.(4 times on the leupolds.) I finally went to a swfa 3x15. It is not light, but I decided that the extra 6 to 8 oz. was worth carrying for the added dependability. This scope has worked flawlessly so far.

Short answer to that, at least IME, is not really. I've had decent luck with Leupold 6x42s "tracking" and returning to zero, and retaining zero, but it's been a crap shoot for me save for those scopes. Seems that the SWFA 3-9, and Nightforce's 2.5-10s are about the lightest scopes out there that offer consistent return to zero, zero retention, and tracking reliability... Tanner

has anyone checked the vortex pst series. I think the vortex razor guys should be alarmed at the tracking test in that video, that isn't a cheap scope. its actually more expensive than a nightforce.

Tanner The SWFA 3-9 comes in at an ounce or two under 20, as well...

The couple of PST's that I've tested and used tracked and RTZ 100% correctly. Click values had <0.5% error. The Razor I have now tested out at <1% error, and has been completely reliable. It's only got just less than 1000 rounds so far, but zero problems.

I know a guy who is having good luck with his razor too, but they are not light either.

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