I hope your LEM grinder holds up better than the one we had. A #32 that last 3 years grinding about 3-4 deer and a half dozen hogs.
Went with the Cabelas Carnivore #42, after 4 years it has now melt the plastic bushing that the auger rides in front of the motor. This is with running a foot pedal so it’s not constantly turning. I’m looking at a Hobart, done with the issues.
The packing,reminded me,of me. Bubble wrap,clear packing tape,zip ties and velcro belts. Hint.(grin)
Should the LEM Puke,I'll set it atop a stump,shoot it with a real scope other than Reupold and toss it off a cliff. I've lost more money than that,in a load of fhuqking laundry. Hint.
It's funny how you summed up the MK5 HD 3.6-18x so succinctly today,when you simply said "I wouldn't Hunt that". Shoulda nabbed pics of the Image Stabilized Sig Bino's. Still can't find my Mouser brass,but I cleaned house last pass and have no idea! Hint.(grin)
Back to packaging. Hint.
Forgot to tell you about my new ride. My new skins arrived on the Slow Boat today,so The Dealer is going to drop it off in the AM. Not sure it will hit the porch with The Holidays,but will give me time to pick out suspension. You no more than pulled out of the driveway and I hopped in my crummy to check Maill and gather scope caps and my battery was all but dead. Called The Dude,he was here and had the battery out in 10 minutes,hit The Parts Dealer and was back in business,in another 10 minutes. That probably isn't going to hurt his resume,with me. Hint. Laughing!
Stick, please let us know your thoughts on the trijicon. I know you’ll put it through the wringer. The credo in 2-10x36 has my interest peaked.
The tenmile did quite well in testing on the rokslide scope eval by Form. If the credo is solid for you then that will boost confidence greatly that his wasn’t just a one off good one and that trijicon is putting out some tough and repeatable goods.
This Trijicon was/is slated as a Bear Knocker and the vision,is aboard my 338-06AI. Will flog on it first mechanically,to prove tracking and repeats. It will have to IMPRESS mightily,to displace the BTR Gen2 '12x FFP Mil/Mil LitBitch,which trumps Reupold MK5 3.6-18x HD glass. Hint.
Reupold's goofy 35mm tube,makes less than zero sense. Though the day's packaging was superb. Hint.
I've zero doubt your CTR will shine,as you have it currently configured. We got sidetracked and never finished a Powder Order discussion. Super' plays rather nice in my AI/AT 264 Kreed with 147's and rates a serious thunk,with your Alpha order. Hint.

The Reupold BC's are Skookum,they have meat on the bone. Hint.
As to said Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28. It's glass is very obviously great. The controls are intuitive,concise and very friendly. Hint.
I'd take parallax control,but it's not offered in said Model. The reticle(MOA sadly) and illumination(way daylight bright) are fhuqking exceptional. I'll always take FFP Mil/Mil when given a choice,but as there are NO choices in this Model,FFP MOA/MOA is certainly doable. Eye-relief is both forgiving and HUGE. It's very WELL laid out. Hint.
The erector is billed as 100 MOA,though this one actuates 105 (windage centered). There is no zero stop,but setting zero is fast and easy,by loosening the top of the locking turret and removing same to index as per whim. The erector scale is 25MOA per revolution,in .25MOA increments. Such things make sense,rather than say a Reupold MK5's Mil erector,travelling 10.5 Mil per revolution...which is pretty fhuqking stupid. With the Credo's locking turrets(both) and robust erector detents,one isn't going to actuate either adjustment,without WANTING to. These are good things. Hint.
1000 words in comparison. Hint.
These things are of course granted in accordance to billed Specifications and less a bullet being fired,yet. Hint.

Isn't the Credo HX the MOA version of the Credo in Mil? Sorry if I am mistaken?
I suspect John Burns's distain for Stick is the same distain he has for the women of the "Real Housewives" shows. He thinks Stick is pompous and narcissistic, but he can't take his eyes off the titties.

Bore sighted at 25yds,shot once,corrected and flung a Hasty Trio at 50yds. Looked things over,holes were round,corrected and fired (1) shot at 100yds and zero'd turrets. Hint.
Pea Soup hit The Deck,so hopefuly come-ups in the morning. Hint.
I shoot what I like, seem to be very successful at it as well. The amazing part of this forum is the amount of guys laying in the wait for someone with enough posts to make them allergic to outside, to give a review of junk. (Minus that Trijicon that's a good scope!) It's two guys fighting over their love of crap and who's got the biggest pile. I can't wait for the outcome. Giggles, someone's gonna win I'm just sure of it.
I couldn't begin to speak to those particulars,though Chris has built me a PILE of rifles through the years and who knows how fhuqking many blanks. She is yet another Secondhand Rose and if only in fairness,I can attest to being the 3rd owner and the miles appear rather lowwwwwwww. Hint.
Personally,I believe there is promise,though "there" is wayyyyyy too big of a word for some folks. Hint.
If I didn't have another new rifle and a coupla barrels to install tomorrow,I just might could become smitten. The Monsoon sounds like 50mph+,so the morning is likely to be a .796 BC day. Hint.
The 2"+ of extra barrel shank screams "custom". Clean up of full length bedding indicates opposite. Hopefully mechanic's of hidden areas is without issue. Easy enough to rectify if not. PacNor barrel hedges odds it will shoot.
I'm simply a NOTORIOUS Short Shanker and Contour Dropper,but arrived at where it sets and never even looked up the skirt. Timed the fore base fastener,aligned Reupold BC's,set the diopter,capped lenses and shot it. Rather well,I might add. Kiss,find pressure and rock on. Hint.
When bedding a Montucky,I simply shoot 'tip pressure as an opening move,tune same and replicate up front,with minimal materials. Easy for me to say,because I don't shoot Reupold and have 100's of rifles to reflect upon,as mechanics go. Hint.
Typical of a Me Build here in the foreground,with shortened/radiused shank and contour reduction. The 'tip is upward pressure bedded,in perhaps a 3/4" wide band. They handle/balance better and neither Accuracy or Precision are compromised. Though I can only reflect upon dozens of 'em and 10's of thousands of rounds. Hint.
PN was my FAVORITE spout for decades and the only thing that's "changed",is what Greg keeps on his shelves,because I never learned how to fhuqking linger. That ain't condemnation,but a reflection of my need to actually fhuqking shoot. Hint.
GREAT bedding,can't be "seen",nor can a GREAT barrel. The Montucky Mouser is a NASTY Bitch and that's high praise. Hint.

Very nice. I'm gonna send them an 84 long master classic for barrel work. 8T 223 Ackley. Short trip to the other side of the state. I would think now would be a good time for "shortened" lead times as I tend to be impatient. 5 weeks is very reasonable these days.

It was 5 weeks for the blank. Not sure what their lead time is for fit and chambered stuff. -Al
I keep hoping to see the stock I flung your way,in action. Sleepers have long been one of my Favorite Flavors. Hint.
Chris has built me and pards,piles of 223AI's and all have DAZZLED. There's NO way I wouldn't go 1-7" today and rest assured,that 88 ELD's would be the opening move. No thang to slide the mag shim and shorten the ejector/bolt stop on an 84M .378" Donor. My 21" 223AI 1-7" Rocktucky,is both fhuqking AMAZING and beloved. Hint.
As an aside,as .224" 7" RPM blanks go,I see Greg has Krieger,Bart' and Muller's setting on the shelf this second. Hint.
The Montucky Mouser is a true 9" RPM,if you believe cleaning rods. I never don't not. Hint.
Still isn't daylight enough for me to tell,if the wind is blowing up on the hill,but it's simmered at the porch. If it seems promising,I'll grab a box of new glass,a Sleeper 'Schutz 54 and the requisite rings,then go flog on erectors to see WTF. Hint.

You're going to need a pillow folded in half over the stock so your eye can reach the scope!
Dually noted, thanks Al. Thanks Stick'. Was thinking mag box restrictions in the 84, but mod seems easy enough......7 twist it is. I run 88s in 223 in a 1/7 PVA Rock Creek on an ARC Nucleus 2.0. No mag restrictions using AICS mags in a KRG Bravo. Funner than hell, but a heavy b+tch with 26" heavy tube. Was thinking factory Kimber varmint dupe in 23" in the 84. Gotta get my sh+t rolling Thanks again for the intel

Have you tried a 6.5" twist .223 with 88s? Seems like a .219" bore is important at that point. I'm all about eliminating as many variables as possible, and a 6.5" twist gets the 88 at .223 launch speeds super-stable with an SG of 1.5+ in all atmospherics, which eliminates stability-dependent BC loss. I haven't tried it yet, but keep meaning to order a .219" bore, 6.5" twist barrel for a .223 build.
I personally wouldn't go longer than 21" and if it was that heavy of a contour,I'd flute. Hint.
It is never not entertaining,how BIG of a word "there" is for somebody. Hint.
Couldn't find a Sleeper 'Schutz that wasn't wearing 75MOA inclination,so will come full circle back to my Heavy Vudoo. Will mount all 1913 and then be able to swap on the fly,to see WTF. Hint.
I only shoot 223AI in 7,7.5,7.7,8,9,10,12 and 14" RPM. I've 6.5" RPM 224 Grendels. Hint.
Interested to read your thoughts on the Arken 1-8 after you spend some time behind it. Especially on the reticle. I'm lukewarm on the reticle, but that's simply from seeing it on paper. Perhaps gawking through the scope and putting it into use is a different story?
The reticle is far enough off the beaten path,to be sending red flags and it's nomenclature doesn't smooth much over in my book. Hint.
I'm a Lineal Scale Guy and would have been VERY happy to see it wear something as simple,as their 1-6x HD MQ reticle. It's FFP and wears 25 MOA per revolution turrets,which are far more intuitive than say a Reupold and 10.5 Mil's upon same. Hint.
I'm rather curious,if the innards are worth a fhuqk. The exterior is a touch rough on the rainshade,with grit and schit in the threads. Grease is Reupold's. Hint.
Was the the scope a replacement for the spotter that went tits up 3x? Looks like the exterior needed a rub down with armorall, lol I hope the scope preforms but they probably need to get the Cheeto dust out of em first.

It's up next after I finish the clean up on this Kelbly KLP that I just re inletted from a 700 foot print and bedded for a BAT SV. It was a total eyeball-it millapalooza. I'll finish cutting in the trigger mortise after Christmas and then it's off to the hydro dipper.
Greg Taylor at GT Accuracy supplied me with a 3D printed Panda 'action' blank that should ease things a bit when inletting the flat top you generously donated to a new shooters cause. I'm supplying the inletting/bedding work and have several killer good extra barrels for him, extra scope rings, dies, etc. that will get donated to the effort. There was a bit of a time lag on the action but it should be here early January.
Thanks again for your contribution! I'll start on it once the action is in my hands.
Most guys shooting "benchrest rifles" don't let there cheek touch the top of the buttstock.
Did not know that. What about the small hole in the rings? Does that serve a purpose?
That is for the rings to "open" slightly when sliding them over the dovetail base. In other words, the hole is for the lower part of the ring to "flex" some while sliding it over the dovetail base.

That is for the rings to "open" slightly when sliding them over the dovetail base. In other words, the hole is for the lower part of the ring to "flex" some while sliding it over the dovetail base.
And on these rings, the beam strength was such that it was very hard to tighten the rings to the rail adequately. I milled a hole at the top of the slot to let them flex just a skosh more when tightened. Some 638 Loctite goes between the rings and the dove tail and a recoil lug like the one shown below will be fitted.
The weather did indeed lay right the fhuqk down and conditions were rather exceptional. Hint.
So I set up a TTT at 50yds,hung a plum line,traced same and marked it in 5 Mil increments to 20 Mil's. 23 Mil's is all that remained after the 50yd zero. Zero'd turrets and went to shooting TTT. Prior to the first shot and for every one there after,I ran erector up until it hit 23 Mil's,returned to zero stop,whirled zoom selector high to low and then put in the requisite correction. Obviously aiming at the same point,for every shot. Hint.
Pretty fhuqking FUNNY,for a $2000 MSRP scope! Hint.
I didn't buy "a Reupold",I bought "THE Reupold" and as mentioned often,I was rooting for them. Hint.
Third stanza,following suit of the prior. I ran erector up until it hit 23 Mil's,returned to zero stop,whirled zoom selector high to low and then put in the requisite correction. Obviously aiming at the same point,for every shot. Hint.
Here is where a 15 Mil correction/repeat,looks to be a sweet spot. It doesn't drift from center as bad and sort of Agg's. Hint
Intellestingly enough,the Reupold MK5 HD 3.6-18x HD M5C3-35mm FFP PR1-Mil #180726's reticle,did in fact jive with MEASURED values,though it's erector,did not align it's very own reticle. Hint.

Maybe it'd be good on a full choked buckshot slinger..
Man, that's too bad, I was kinda hoping it was going to hammer it out of the park.

Fifth stanza. Hint.
To be continued. Hint................
You do have to wonder how one guy can be so right and everyone else is wrong. You are one of the 8 wonders of the world…
LESS touching a turret,the scope did nice thangs. I felt like it directed the platform,largely to it's potential. Shooting staples as per whim and slipping a second projectile into a fresh made bullet hole. Touch the erector and ALL bets were off. I've ZERO fhuqking doubt,that windage intrusion,would have knocked schit off the spacious 50yd backer. Hint.
The culmination of 5rds fired,as cited. Hint.
Pardon reality,as the Drooling CLUELESS Lying Pieces Of Fhuqking Schit,DREAM aloud. Hint.
A simplistic 10 Mil correction and RTZ,was an EPIC Goat Fhuqk. Hint.
You should have used a good rifle.
Yours truly, John Burns
It would be fun to go hunting with Burns and Stick. They have all the good spots and when you got there, they would be so busy bragging, you could do all the shooting...
You can go to the bottom and click on what gear the winners use.
In fairness Leupold gives a lotta stuff away. I'm going all in for the Trijicon in this expert review.
And they shoot on the clock in competition and do well with those scopes. The ones getting free scopes from any manufacturer wouldn't get sponsored and get the free scopes (from any manufacturer) if they couldn't shoot well in competition, and, conversely, they wouldn't use the scopes if they couldn't compete with them.
True but don't think that Leupold is dumb enough to send a top prs competitor the same scope the sent John JR.
Pretty new here but it seems this forum is big on Chinese glass.
Interesting line of thought. So you think they can make scopes that track but just do it for a few?
Follow up question: how come literarily nobody used any of the scopes the mouthy midget shills in high level competition? I mean, if they're perfect, wouldn't SOMEONE use at least one?????
Pardon a simplistic critique by me,swaying the Market,whether an Ebb or Flow. Droolers even swipe my punctuation,to file their Hurt Feeler Reports and feign "heralded" Imaginary Pretend Ignore. Hint.
15 Mil "corrections",were rather fhuqking ugly,given the Splendor of the platform,yet the Reupold's BEST efforts. Hint.
building piano's, are your tape measure and rangefinder verified to the same standards you're looking for in adjustments?
isn't it common practice to learn the tall test correction factor and plug into your solutions thinger for the these long range target shooting disciplines? is this posted in the hunting optics section again? wtf man
what do you use the verify your rangefinder? you got a perfect yard step length? rolling tape also verified accurate? so far past the point of diminishing returns and black hole of chasing tales...fun to watch though
would it be hard to fabricate any of this? careful folks, this is the internet...discern accordingly
I can see why that scope would be used and win plenty although you're trying to paint some picture that isn't relevant to landing bullets precisely down range. carry on

KSMITH is still butthurt about being outed here for Stolen Valor and pretending to be a SEAL.
She thinks a sockpuppet will fix all that Stolen Valor.
Most all who shoot know LiL Fish is a liar who fakes lot's of pictures but these latest LiL Fish faked pictures are so bad even the Fan Bois are shaking heads.
This thread is going to deliver lots of laughs and you guys were here to see it unfold in real time. So Predictable.

I don’t root against them… but the market place is full of 2-300$ scopes that take a beating and still track/hold zero. I’ll take the 1500$ saved and donate it to GOA and buy American somewhere else.
I'm going to buy a $2000 scope that I "know" won't work. And then I'll come up with a test to "prove" that it doesn't work. So, I'll bitch, piss, and moan, take it off, and put it in the closet forever.

Makes perfect rational sense.
Like new in box Leupolds sell for very close to retail.
Not risking hardly anything to take a few pictures and then sell the scope.
LiL Fish has always been a schill.
In the past he was just better at pulling the wool over the Fan Boi eyes.

I guarantee this is the problem along with a scope that is mounted turned in the rings
got lucky on one of my custom leupolds, they warned me the turret wasn't meant for a fixed lol I said put it on anyway, fx2 6x36 added a cds-zl turret to it, ended up with .3 moa per click lol, got another 50 yards out of it on a slow ass 16" barrel 6.5 Grendel, supposed to give me a 550 yard mark from 200 but ended up with a 6 on it...beauty lol, bit odd finding that out but once I did it was not hard to solve for and get the matching speed dial turret, seems to track/return as normal but I don't go haywire like stick here, just hunt and kill sh1t with no mysteries
wish most of my elevation diallers were more than 1/4 moa per click come to think of it, less is more on that part of the equation, hunting is the only thing that matters here in a hunting optics forum, what is hunting? hint
how prs anything gets discussed here is weird, not even closely related, isn't there another section for the fack around find out crowd?

Well, seeing as how they actually use gear, on the clock, with an audience, and shoot really well with the gear, PRS, like other shooting sports, actually allows the cream to rise to the top and shakes out a lot of fluff from gear people use.
Anyone that thinks long range shooting competition ISN'T relevant to long range plinking isn't paying attention.
Its pretty easy to make a tall target test produce results like this: Mount the scope canted in the rings Mount the scope canted in the rings and do not install a bubble level on the scope or improperly install it Mount the scope so that the center crosshairs veer off of a perfectly plumb line as more travel is dialed Draw the vertical line off plumb Do a 50 yard test at 49 or 51 yards Mark the “vertical line” with poorly measured mil increments
Mount the scope on a POS rifle that’s not a proven laser
Plus probably a few more that I haven’t listed
The OP being a Lying Liar that faked a tall target test is the real answer.

and looks like leupold top choice in that prs gear they use thing...
but still you just described target plinking vs target plinking...there's a competitive shooting forum here, go play there
hunting, including long range hunting, is all done by 600 for the majority of all shooters/hunters, the stuff being discussed here in the hunting optics section is completely irrelevant and useless, looks like a 'strategy' to push new product sales via bashing others that own segment...you know...$$$$$$$$$
you practice the wrong stuff with the wrong gear and then go do something totally different with said gear and practice and someone who practices for the task at hand will have much fuller freezers and walls...prs year round, old stormy kromer wearing western boys with sporters and lr duplex reticles will run circles around you, they'll be cutting tags while you're waiting for range and wind call from your buddy lol
I'm not budget friendly to this prs crap lol. But a certain rokslide god it came out of his own mouth that moderate amount of shooters/hunters can consistently kill to 450 and very few to 600...so why is that? I polled them also and many cut their play shooting distances in half and 500-600 was thrown out as a common upper limit...any idea why? Because none of this target stuff that's way past point of diminishing returns is going to help you. So if you knew that you could focus your gear, set up and practice for task at hand, which simplifies it and speeds you up. A whole bunch of the wrong practice and wrong gear will have you meet Murphy and waste your time really if hunting is your goal...including long range hunting. So in the fine words of brad Pitt in money ball...what the fack are you talking about?
Those who throw lead at animals long enough with all the gear learn that hunting and shooting are two different things. Why all this target crap in the hunting optics section when majority know what hunting is now, why all this muddy of that? Oh right.....$$$$$$$$.......gotta sell these hunters more gear and methods, gotta make em think this is the badazz thing to do and put yer time and money into.
Nah bro, you can be ballistically fluent, gear fluent and set up far more suited for hunting with your own gongs and limited time and remove all that noise and fat that will cost you one day and slow you down.
Get this garbage, and especially little stick, into forum sections he belongs, he does not talk about hunting optics at all.
There are FEW things in this World,are as "soothing" as Reupold UnFhuqk Charts. Hint.
FORTUNATELY for me and only on it's 3rd trip to THE Fhuqk Up Factory,my MK4 FFP Spotter had it's erector assembly diagnosed and repaired. Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING! Hint.
Pardon my having 100's of scopes and simply HOPING Reupold's Flagship would connect a dot. It don't,because it can't and the "surprises" are less than zero. Hint.
Do you outsource everything besides spaghetti? Jfc...
Oh, did you build a heavy fixture to rigidly hold a barreled action, have shims to .001”, a $600 level, a perfectly laser-leveled vertical line on a building 35 yards away, perfectly marked for the exact distance in MOA on one side and Mils on the other?
Yeah, me neither
Nice thing is he lets me use his equipment to mount and evaluate scopes 👌🏼
A quick check shows us Rick kills lots of game at LR and wins Long Range shooting comps on his own.
How about you internet Rando?
The crazy thing is that I’ve done it with Leupold scopes that have been mounted with precision

That is marvelous! I imagine for the 2012, 2013 Sniper's Hide there must have been cheating by others that prevented you from the Champion award.
That is a fabulous video! I bet you reminisce about bygone feelings of joy when you were receiving those awards. And the interviews you must have had with media....thrilling!
I'm so proud for you! I'll share that video with members of my shooting community to hopefully provide motivation that they too may be presented awards like yours.
How do you find the time to keep the awards all polished and pristine? I suggest you hire a house boy to perform that task. What a fabulous display
Of course it is canted in relationship to the action and center of the bore or he wouldn’t have had those results
The guy doesn’t even show how he mounted the scope, degree of precision that the action was leveled first (he doesn’t even level the action), degree of precision the scope was mounted to the leveled action.
After mounting a scope that you have done your best with, all you know is what you see statically. The crosshairs may appear to be perfectly plumb to your plumb line.
The only way to know if you’ve done it right is:
1. Shoot the tall target test and make adjustments by turning the scope in the rings if impacts veer off plumb
2. Run the scope through its entire travel while the perfectly leveled barreled action is rigidly held in a fixture and visually confirming that the reticle tracks perfectly plumb along the line all the way up and down
I’m sure Leupold laughed at him when they received the scope for repair since the entire problem was his pitiful scope mount
Just because it's an a-hole who says or writes something doesn't in and of itself mean it's wrong. You can be a total a-hole and still be correct. I know as I was correct one time.
Every shot was fired with a slightly different degree of rifle cant
Since there is no bubble level, there is no reference to insure every shot is fired with the rifle in the same position
It’s actually a perfect example of why a correctly installed bubble level is critical for long range shooting
Notice how “groups” on the target get bigger as the “range” increases? Small changes in cant result in big changes at long range
The target is also a perfect example of why the scope should be mounted so the reticle moves perfectly vertically to the centerline of the bore
Assuming the vertical line is plumb, notice as more correction is dialed how the “groups” veer to the right of the line
The scope is turned in the rings
(To the left, counterclockwise)
When doing a TTT, it’s pretty easy to align the reticle with the plumb line, which mitigates any horizontal POI variation at a fixed distance that is caused by a scope not being mounted square with the bore.
Notice how “groups” on the target get bigger as the “range” increases? Small changes in cant result in big changes at long range
That is true as the actual distance increases. Since the TTT is done at a fixed distance, as long as the reticle is aligned with the plumb line, any windage offset should remain constant.

1. Doesn’t test how the scope is mounted, but rather misalignment between the reticle and the erector axis. 2. With the rifle perfectly level, this ensures that the reticle is square to the bore if the reticle is alignd with the plumb line. The tracking part tests alignment between the reticle and the erector.

Not true
A slight cant angle at 50 yards shooting with 1 mil dialed and the impact slightly above the POA is magnified greatly if the is the same slight cant angle and a shot is fired with 20 mils in the erector and the impact waaay above the POA
If the reticle is plumb to a plumb-bob, it doesn't matter if the scope was mounted canted in the rings. The problem with many scopes, Leupold included, is that the reticle itself is canted; therefore tracking and the barrel itself aren't aligned. Therefore, tracking will drift regardless. I have one Mark 6 that has the same problem and Leupold gave me hell trying to get it repaired. Leupold tried to tell me I didn't know what I was doing, told me it was the rifle, pulled the gas lighting, etc. I used to be a precision rifle instructor and have done well in many precision rifle matches (yes, even top 20 at some national-level matches). Incompetence wasn't the problem.
The deviation was off such that around 900 yards, shooting with a level, my tracking would begin to drift. I put one of my S&B PM-IIs on the gun and tracking issues went away and I could shoot the rifle out to around a mile without issue.
They promised to replace the scope after the third trip back, but they didn't. They replaced the erector system and reticle. It seems to be better than it had been, but I have it on a rifle that is relatively short-range now. I have another Mark 6 that was fine from day one. When the Leupold scopes work, they are a pleasure with light weight and good glass.

It’s how angles work
You’re describing the scope being canted relative to the plumb line. In which case, you’re right.
I’m describing the scope reticle and erector aligned with the plumb line, but the bore offset horizontally due to the scope being mounted out of square with the bore.
If the reticle is plumb to a plumb-bob, it doesn't matter if the scope was mounted canted in the rings.
This will result in a horizontal offset that increases with distance.
Absolutely, it will. Providing that means it was also offset to the bore. Which came first? The drift from reticle misalignment to the bore, or the drift from reticle misalignment to the erector?
Typical Reupold erector behavior. If you don't touch it,things are OK-ish. Manipulate same and ALL bets are off and never in lineal scale,if only to the chagrin of The Bubble Boys. Hint.
Simply swap scopes and then you can do as you please. I "only" have 100's of scopes to exterpolate. Hint.

It'd be interesting to see say 20 actions w/integrated scope mounts and 20 produced for bolt-on scope mounts and see which would consistently put a mounted scope the "most-square" to all of the planes/centerlines that matter.
Then of course the next rabbit-hole would be which base, which rings, and which combinations thereof were the "squarest".
Just intellectual curiosity though. I'm not patient or meticulous enough to do any of it. Nor am I detail-oriented enough behind the gun for any of it to matter to me. I have a hard time concentrating on cant, wind, mirage, squeeze, and follow-through for 20-shots at a club F-Class match.

This thread wasn't started by, and isn't about, anyone actually going out and shooting for record in competition with witnesses and actual scores.
Once you realize that, it becomes clear. Crystal clear.
Because you either believe these guys, who do it for record on the clock:
or a guy who says that the scopes they all use suck and that the chinesium stuff he shills is better, but he doesn't actually demonstrate that it is in any meaningful way....
It's what makes his ball suckers pathetic and this site, in general, hilarious.

Meh. When I worked @ a gunshop in college (late-90's) I sold an awful lot of Pentax and Nikon scopes that I had little confidence in and really didn't like (poor tracking and too much parallax for me), but, they had a great spiff program for us and so I took the bait/cash. I knew that the folks buying them wouldn't know/couind't tell the diff between really good stuff and what they were buying. Most of them were replacing "blister-pack Marts scopes". The shooters on your PRS list know they don't have to win to stay sponsored, they just have to stay "competitive" enough to allow emotion-promotion to do it's job.
I don't know if I made a point with the above rambling, not sure I even had one.

Vudoo's are exceedingly straight/concentric. Though the Reupold MK5 doesn't even fhuqking BEGIN to track,it too was but .6 Mil's away from mechanical center,for 50yd zero. While the erector is a horrible fhuqking mess,the reticle was spot on,to it's credit. Hint.
I find much joy in World Class Wares and banging on my 18.5# Vudoo,is never not GOOD times. It will pinpoint mechanical compromise instantly,because it so easy to shoot exceptionally. It would be nice if ruffled pom-pom's and Hurt Feeler Reports could "heal" compromised erectors,but that is not how Reality works,or even close. Hint.
He would have been further ahead by saying, "The scope won't work because I said so, so I won't buy one"
The half assed, smoke and mirrors test proves nothing, only deceiving the ignorant who drool over his every word anyhow. The very few. HINT
Haven't seen the said scope on the classifieds yet. Because he is a liar, and will continue to use it, because it outperforms the scopes that he attempts to pimp.
I don't have a dog in this tussle but it seems to me that we have on one hand hundreds of world class shooters competing on the highest level choosing a certain brand of equipment essential to their success. On the other hand, we have a Keyboard Karen that has almost 60,000 internet posts, questionable skill, questionable knowledge, and questionable integrity choosing a different brand of equipment. Who to believe... hmmmm.... doesn't seem like a difficult decision at all.

To be fair, nobody would touch a Leupold in this sport ten years ago. Discounts, prize tables, and "supporting the sport" has done wonders for their popularity. Kahles has done the same.

Go to that yellow website that shows gear and click on actions, be a good starting place to see what the majority are using. Impact Precision way in lead then I think Defiance was next.

But why? Because its the best for the sport? Or because Impact Precision was started by a competitor and really marketed to the crowd. Popularity doesn't mean best. Flip to a different precision rifle sport: F-Class. No Impact actions to be seen, but lots of BAT, Borden, etc.

Lol
Its funny to you that oftentimes the rail on a rifle isn't 100% level? That rings aren't always 100% concentric?
Scope mounting 201
First, level the barreled action precisely
Second, mount the scope on the leveled action so that the reticle travels perfectly vertically through its entire range
Simply mounting a scope while looking through it and aligning the vertical crosshair to a plumb line sometimes doesn’t cut it. The scope must be mounted so that the TRAVEL of the reticle is perfectly plumb while the barreled action is perfectly level.
After this is accomplished and verified, THEN a bubble level is attached to the scope WHILE the action is still perfectly level.
There are different levels of “precision” and they are dependent upon what tools and indicators are used in the process

I'd rather see the testing done by a barrel, lathe, lathe-tooling, or measurement devices manufacturer. A gear-list comprised of gear procured at a discount or "free" is far from objective or telling.
Buying the exact rod/reel/line/lure setup Kevin VanDam uses to win a fishing competition doesn't mean I'll win the next one even if I also bought the GPS positions.

Don’t forget about all the killing that gets done by the one side of this also, and at ridiculous distances. Captain windbag just yaps and posts pics of things 3’ from his phone.

Except you can have a level action and a scope base that isn't at the same time. In fact, once you've mounted a couple hundred, it becomes abundantly clear that that this is the case more often than not, especially on mass-produced actions like Remington 700s.
What you're failing to grasp is that sometimes reticles are canted to the direction of erector travel. You can level all you want, but if they do not match, you will get horizontal drift.

I do not fail to grasp that fact. That is why the TRAVEL of the reticle must be perfectly vertical, not the reticle visually

I guess us hunters discussing hunting optics should probably know all this lol.
But why? Because its the best for the sport? Or because Impact Precision was started by a competitor and really marketed to the crowd. Popularity doesn't mean best. Flip to a different precision rifle sport: F-Class. No Impact actions to be seen, but lots of BAT, Borden, etc.
No idea, maybe they work? Just thought you didn’t know that you could go see that too. Sure is a ton of discussion here pointing out all the things way past point of diminishing returns regarding hunting in optics. Precision as you pointed out goes well past the scope, what it’s mounted to, how square is the gear, how square is the mounting, endless rabbit holes. Guys actually using it successfully on range in competition and on game afield way past typical long range hunting distances and then keyboard windbags doing neither of those two things bashing said gear...agenda is definitely the answer. How to steal a piece of the pie from the big dogs? That’s one way I guess.
What you're failing to grasp is that sometimes reticles are canted to the direction of erector travel. You can level all you want, but if they do not match, you will get horizontal drift.
I do not fail to grasp that fact. That is why the TRAVEL of the reticle must be perfectly vertical, not the reticle visually
No, they both need to be perfectly vertical. You need to be able to both dial and to do holds. You also need to be able to level your bubble level.
It'd be interesting to see say 20 actions w/integrated scope mounts and 20 produced for bolt-on scope mounts and see which would consistently put a mounted scope the "most-square" to all of the planes/centerlines that matter.
Then of course the next rabbit-hole would be which base, which rings, and which combinations thereof were the "squarest".

In a perfect world
The vast majority are so close that any cant isn’t perceivable under field conditions
The scope must be mounted so that the TRAVEL of the reticle is perfectly plumb while the barreled action is perfectly level.
The rub comes when the reticle won't track in the 'Z' axis (vertical) no matter how it's aligned.
It's also intellesting,that the Ebb and Flow of Agg' sizing isn't lineal,in it's dispersion. Oft times on a TTT,Reupolds will cross the plum line both left and right,in patterns that don't repeat. Hint.
This MK5 returned to zero kinda/sorta,but the tracking was soooooooo incredibly fhuqking schitty,as to make RTZ look better(in comparison). A cant on a Skookum erector,will wander from the plum line,but in lineal fashion. Come-ups will be shy,due the nature of a diagnol line being longer than a straight one. This MK5 shot rather proud in it's come-ups and at a modest 20 Mil correction,took a rifle that'll easily shoot in the .2's to 1.5"++. Pretty fhuqking FUNNY schit,even though it's my $1600 which failed MISERABLY. Hint.
Buying the exact rod/reel/line/lure setup Kevin VanDam uses to win a fishing competition doesn't mean I'll win the next one even if I also bought the GPS positions.
While true, it would also be true that Kev wouldn't be competing with his rig if it didn't work well for the competitions he enters (and wins).
If the chink scopes Stick shills were demonstrably better mechanically than the scopes on that list, the people on that list would use them.
But, they don't.
But, hey, he's got a LOT of the stuff he shills, and quantity has it's own quality.

Because they work well enough to win. Stuff has to perform at a certain level to win in competition. "Better" doesn't matter after you reach a certain level of "good."
Here we have someone saying that the scopes used by high level, proven long-range shooters don't meet basic minimum standards to function, let alone win. His assertion that the scopes used to actually win PRS events "suck" and don't track reliably is backed up by, well, the fact that he says so.
As stated earlier, it's an easy choice: believe the people actually hitting long range targets in competition or the guy who talks a game almost as big as his neck.....

It gets chosen, largely through marketing. The list doesn't comprise what "winners" use, rather a member survey. Lots of "monkey see, monkey do".
I don't think there are many folks using a Mark 5 7-35x or whatever model it is on this forum to hunt with. Meanwhile, we don't see any of the VX-3, VX-5, or VX-6 scopes in the winners circle, either.
I have more Leupold scopes than any other brand, but the biggest hunks of garbage I've owned also came from them, too. Leupold CS was terrible.
There are more than a few team shooters for various scope companies, in PRS.
--Tangent Theta has at least four shooters - Austin Orgain, Justin Watts, Tate Streater, Clay Blackletter.
--Leupold has several, including - Matt Alwine, Nick Gadarzi, Jon Pynch. And I believe several more.
--Vortex and USO have team shooters as well. Not sure about ZCO.
I would not consider any sponsored shooter an impartial person, when it comes to scope recommendations. They might be unbiased, but are obviously getting compensated in some sort of way.
An accomplished shooter that purchases their own scope, with no affiliations, could be a different story. But it seems that such a shooter is desirable as a brand ambassador!
I shoot what I want,when I want and if something intrigues me,I simply procure and flog on it. Hint.
I shot my first Reupold right at 50yrs ago. Like everyone I knew,worked and grew up with,we all killed our first everythings with Reupold. They were simply ingrained in the times of the culture and did a fair to middlin' job,for most. Since that time,many corners have been cut and they've stuck toes in waters well over their head. That is rather unfortunate. Hint.
So fully KNOWING better,I simply scooped the "heralded" MK5 HD 3.6-18x Mil/Mil #180726,hoped for the best,but would never have wagered in it's favor. Atop a World Class Rifle,it did what Reupold now excels at and simply fhuqking failed MISERABLY. This Piece Of Fhuqking Schit,takes "dismal" to new depths and is HILARIOUS,it is sooooooo fhuqking bad. Hint.
It took a rifle that Agg's in the .2's,to 1-1/2"++. Hint.
The newest AI in the larder,will wear a 5-20x HD Mil/Mil LitBitch,because they are simply fhuqking stellar mechanically. Hint.

The PRS stat shown was just the number of competitors in the entire PRS and Leupold was the most popular scope in the most demanding LR shooting sport.
Point being that LiL Fish's epic Leupold struggles are just made up bull shit. This one is just much more blatent and the Fan Bois are going through a the begining stages of Grief. Acceptance is on the way, give them a bit of time.
Lots of good scopes out there and Leupold makes a lot of the good scopes.
What you never see is Leupold guys running down other brands, except on Country of Origin. That's more about being a good American.

All of mine were purchased by me.
Like JB stated, there are a lot of good scopes out there and Leupold is one of them
It'd be interesting to see say 20 actions w/integrated scope mounts and 20 produced for bolt-on scope mounts and see which would consistently put a mounted scope the "most-square" to all of the planes/centerlines that matter.

Vudoo's are exceedingly straight/concentric. Though the Reupold MK5 doesn't even fhuqking BEGIN to track,it too was but .6 Mil's away from mechanical center,for 50yd zero. While the erector is a horrible fhuqking mess,the reticle was spot on,to it's credit. Hint.
I find much joy in World Class Wares and banging on my 18.5# Vudoo,is never not GOOD times. It will pinpoint mechanical compromise instantly,because it so easy to shoot exceptionally. It would be nice if ruffled pom-pom's and Hurt Feeler Reports could "heal" compromised erectors,but that is not how Reality works,or even close. Hint.
If you can't kill it wit a standad duplex,it ain't gonna get killed with ANYTHING else.
Leupie will of course continue to get my loot.................
Some people grow throughout their life. You know, like your waist and neck girth. Only they grow from experiences...first hand...not around the campfire with sf dudes telling war stories.

No Leupolds or Barken Arkens. A distinct lack of Hornadys of any flavor or BC as well.
Of all the comps F Class seems Leupolds weakest place.
Leupold does better in more dynamic comps with movement and lots of dialing to different ranges. In the more static KD types of competition other brand can do pretty well.
I do get a laugh at how Berger is so dominant in any LR shooting competition.
Who was the first guy on this board to shoot Berger Bullets at Long Range?
If the reticle is plumb to a plumb-bob, it doesn't matter if the scope was mounted canted in the rings.
This will result in a horizontal offset that increases with distance.
Absolutely, it will. Providing that means it was also offset to the bore. Which came first? The drift from reticle misalignment to the bore, or the drift from reticle misalignment to the erector?
I’m assuming no misalignment between reticle and erector. Just offset of the bore relative to the reticle/erector axis.
You seem abit sensitive. I'll leave you with this.
from Lowlight on Snipers Hide.
Every year they seem to get farther and farther away from what made them the company worthy of the reputation they have, which I personally feel is no longer warranted.
The shear number of them we see problems with is staggering, on military weapons systems no less. They seem to be completely out of touch with the shooter, all shooters, Civilian, Law Enforcement, and Military.
Unfortunately people still flock to their products based on the past reputation, regardless of the fact their current products don't hold up to that standard. LL
Not that it matters to anyone one bit, but so far I see one member here with the actual scope, posting his results. Everyone else arguing about brands and who shoots what.
Who else here has that exact model scope and can prove him wrong?

LOL. I do hate Lying Liar such as you.
Your best play was probably to punt. You have never done anything of merit regarding scope use on a rifle and an appeal to authority must feel like safe ground to one who can't produce their own results.
One can argue back and forth until they are blue in the face about Leupold being this or that ! But what I do know personally is that once I started getting rid of leupolds and switching to swfa scopes life got a lot better and ALOT of weird [bleep] went away.
Out of all the most popular scope brands used in PRS which brand spends the most on marketing and advertising? That fact cannot be overlooked when arguing about something as subjective as what scope is best for long range shooting since a lot of a product’s appeal, even with PRS guys, has to do with perception and marketing is meant to form those perceptions.
I’m not a Leupold hater, actually I can’t recall any scope brands that I “hate”, but admittedly I’m currently only using 2 Leupolds on a couple of AR’s but they’re only the basic VX-II’s and they’ve done fine with the light use they’ve seen.
What I find telling (in a good way) is the popularity of the lesser known scopes that are purpose built for a specific application and their advertising campaign is almost exclusively through word of mouth like Tangent Theta. For a scope to be reliable, clear and durable enough for its intended consumers, NOT offer any financial savings over “name brands” and to be considered one of the best scopes on the market WITHOUT actually marketing or advertising heavily says a lot!
Sure is nice to sight in a scope at 200 and run some numbers in your ballistic program and have first round hits at 5-6-700 yards
Post your results on game.
It'll be fun.
Here is one for you. Just over 560 yards. 1 shot. Winchester Model 70, 270 WCF, 130 grain Barnes TSX, and no erector moved. And get this, no guide. You guys go on like this stuff is an art form. Give me a break.

Yea It would be fun! But has nothing to do with Leupold tracking problems. I’ve killed a [bleep] ton of animals with a lot of different scopes when I was young a [bleep] ton with a Bushnell and then a Tasco world class. As I could afford higher priced scopes I bought and used higher priced scopes. Pentax, Burris, Nikon, Leupold , others I’ve forgotten about. Went down the road of Swarovski, Kales, S&B, Nightforce Zeiss etc . Think the most I ever spent on scopes at one time was a 17K order from Doug. All the while truck loads of animals died with them all! What I did find out is that most scopes of all makers track for [bleep]. Plum amazing that one can buy a 3x9 swfa and beat the [bleep] out of almost everything costing 3x as much. And don’t even mention the fixed 6and 10 at $300 bucks. Whether you me or anyone else does or does not like it don’t change the facts.

Your pictures are still not loading, Internet Rando.
Here is a fun one. This one with a 7.5lb 30-06. And a 6x scope. Erector again stayed static even though the shot was closer to 500 than 400. The funnest part is…..You guessed it. No guide, no GIF.
You should quit acting like this is a special kinda hunting that requires 12 lb rifles, bipods, and horrible looking stocks.

You stole a picture from the internet and blurred the faces.
Laffin It’s always fun having two rifles with leupolds on both. Both shooting the same BC bullet at the same speed and your drop cards don’t match for [bleep]. BTW, I didn’t learn that on the internet. I learned it from shooting my own gear. You asked for pics I’ll post you some fresh ones once the weather calms down of current rifle/scope setups. Don’t hold your breath waiting to see if there’s a Leupold in the bunch cause you’ll die. And I’d hate to see that happen as I kind enjoy reading your stuff sometimes.

Comparatively speaking, I'm a mere neophyte here but do know since replacing every Loopie, I have way less 'excitement' at the range. It is rather nice to dial x clicks and the bullet moves said number of units. And then there always the scope tap between adjustments that I miss. And resighting every 6 months. And weirdness between shots. Wondering if my scope needs adjusted from the truck ride to the range (bumpy goat path road).
Tis sad to see what has happened to Leupold, but I'm perfectly happy with my NFs. Prob gonna try a Trijicon this winter, mostly because of the short NF mounting distance.
Plus if you leave him alone, hopefully he'll flog on the Treegikon a bit.

Problem with lots of Leupolds is that is what I've seen, reticle cant in relation to the erector.

I fired 6 shots last month. And killed six deer. Four of them while looking through Leupold scopes. They seem to be working OK for me.

If you really want to find out, (most don't really want to know and would rather argue about it), either build or buy a scope checker like this one I whittled up. Every one of mine gets checked out of the box for tracking and RTZ after power changes if it's a variable. If that's ok, it goes on and recoil tells the rest of the tale. You can test scopes side by side with a known good one on a real deal good rifle or bolt it to this plate and that goes on a bench top.
It's Christmas Eve. Spend it with people you care about.

Looks great.
Can you post a picture of what you look at through the scope to test those parameters please?
Al, I made up this top for an old front rest, works well. Weighs 17# so it sits still while flogging turrets. I did remove about 2” of the stem since those pix were taken. It is nice to not have to guess….

On the not high end Leupold's I used, recoil+windage adjustment was problematic. Everything went to hell when I made windage adjustments.
I really want to get some higher end leupolds, but think I will continue to hold off.
Sincerely,
‘Internet Rando. 😂
Stop. Everyone knows leupold is the best money can buy....lol
I will admit I saw a well known shooter shoot tiny groups on You-Tube and then stretched it out with an older leupold with target turrets. when he made his windage adjustments he tapped the target turret with the cap. Maybe I didn't know the secret tap.

It's similar to 'Stick's test target but with 1" grid squares....think of Christmas wrapping paper that has 1" squares on the back side as a cutting guide. The grid squares make it easy to mark the advertised adjustment values off the vertical plumb line and see how a scope correlates.
A good example is a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18X44 that was tested. By the grid, the advertised 1/4" adjustments are more like between 3/8" and 1/2" on both w/e. Testing on the owners 300WSM hunting rig confirmed that.

Thanks , Brother Al. At least we have ONE member knowledgeable about testing optics besides Larry.
This stuff isn't that hard. You know, regular people put this stuff together and take it apart at the scope makers.
Start by forgetting any percieved 'facts' and let the results show you what's what. Last week, I took apart a 6X scope that most would say is a junk brand. It had some fungus on an inner lens that cleaned up nicely. The W/E adjustment method was surprisingly stout and the erector tube had a nice pivoting gimble arrangement with no front-back slop. I reset the parallax to 200 yards and will shoot it after Christmas to see how it does.
Thanks for posting on the scope checker... Am I correct in assuming the second slave scope is just to verify the fixture hasn't moved while adjusting the test scope?
I have also heard over the years that when making adjustments in the direction that the spring is pushing the reticle away, that you should go past the intended correction and dial back into the compression direction to mitigate any "stiction" that prevented accurate travel. Have you ever tested that on your checker?
If you really want to find out, (most don't really want to know and would rather argue about it) build (or buy) a scope checker like this one I whittled up. Every one of mine gets checked out of the box for tracking and RTZ after power changes if it's a variable. If that's ok, it goes on and recoil tells the rest of the tale. You can test scopes side by side with a known good one on a real deal good rifle or bolt it to this plate and that goes on a bench top.
It's Christmas Eve. Spend it with people you care about.
with the precision you play with in mind what Scopes in your experience make the better list and what Scopes make the not so good list as a general rule..
Looks great. Can you post a picture of what you look at through the scope to test those parameters please?
It's similar to 'Stick's test target but with 1" grid squares....think of Christmas wrapping paper that has 1" squares on the back side as a cutting guide. The grid squares make it easy to mark the advertised adjustment values off the vertical plumb line and see how a scope correlates.
No picture of the target with the markings?
So you’re only able to test MOA reticles and scopes?
What distance from the scope do you set the “target”?

Al I do alot of load development at 500 yards. Couple years ago on the way to my test range got about half way there and remembered I didn't have the paper I usually have.. crap. In the middle of July in the middle of nowhere is a Dollar General. I pop in and find of all things Christmas wrapping paper. Santa clauses on one side and the 1 inch grid in white on the other. Just as you described. Grid showed up just fine on my target vision camera. Worked great..
Thanks , Brother Al. At least we have ONE member knowledgeable about testing optics besides Larry.

Al; Good morning to you sir, I hope that this Christmas Eve morning finds you and those you love well.
Thanks much to you and handgunnr for showing the scope testing jigs you've made up, it's given me a few ideas to refine the apparatus I fabricobbled together to test if used scope we pick up will track - or not as is sometimes the case.
Your quote that I've put in bold reminds me of something my late Father used to say to me, especially when I was younger and wasn't sure about trying to fix something on a dirt bike or gun I had apart.
Not to say I was or still am always successful in my repair efforts, but its always an education.
All the best to you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
If you’re going to go to the trouble of making a fixture to simply hold a scope, why not make a fixture to hold a barreled action AND a scope?
Because making one with just a rail to use testing a scope is exponentially easier than fabrication of any even semi-universal action jig?
Probably, but if one is so interested enough to go to the work of making the scope fixture and cares about scope functionality, it would follow that they would be concerned about mounting a scope on a rifle with the same care

That has nothing to do with one's fabrication capacity. One would be easy on my shop, the other not so much. It has nothing to do with what I "want" to do. Making a jig to check a scope's tracking with a welder and some time is easy for anyone with a welder.
Not being able to whip out an action jig in your shop in an hour doesn't mean you shouldn't whip out a scope specific jig.

I agree with Rick. Static testing a scope on its own is good for seeing if it's worth mounting in the first place; however, in a lot of cases, the scope trouble is caused or exacerbated by the way its mounted. Therefore, testing a scope after it's mounted to the gun on which it's going to be used offers much more utility. Likewise, getting a scope squared up correctly in the first place saves a lot of time and ammo when doing TTT and other types of actual shooting/testing to make sure a rig is RTG.
Or you could just C-clamp it to the merry-go-round at the local playground.
Nice. One of the main reasons I say static scope testing tales lead to some of the best optics threads.
I need to build a micro-adjust jig to zero out the coriolis effect of a static tall target test depending on whether I'm shooting N, S, E, or W. I mean the target isn't even located where you see it, it's moved by the time you see it. You can't shoot a TTT where the target is, you have to shoot it where it's going to be.
I'm surprised none of you even realize that all you're ever seeing through the scope is where the target was. Good Greif.
Not as nice as Al’s, but a static rest is pretty easy to build. 3 legs and a Davidson or Picatinny base mounted to a flat surface and you can tell if a scope is a POS before you bother mounting it. Does the reticle move with the clicks? Does it freeze and then drop after 4 clicks? Etc. This (or a collimator) also tell you if unsaddled with every variable that a rifle, mounting, or conditions -does this scope track accurately? is the reticle canted from the adjustments?
If it tracks accurately you have a baseline—the scope is capable of aiming a rifle accurately. Then introduce mounting, recoil and all the other [bleep] and see if it holds up, or try to figure out where you [bleep] up.

If the reticle is plumb to a plumb-bob, it doesn't matter if the scope was mounted canted in the rings.
This will result in a horizontal offset that increases with distance.
Absolutely, it will. Providing that means it was also offset to the bore. Which came first? The drift from reticle misalignment to the bore, or the drift from reticle misalignment to the erector?
I’m assuming no misalignment between reticle and erector. Just offset of the bore relative to the reticle/erector axis.
Problem with lots of Leupolds is that is what I've seen, reticle cant in relation to the erector.
That's why it is well-worth checking to make sure the reticle and erector axes are aligned while testing tracking and RTZ. By fixing the scope so that the reticle is aligned with a straight line, and then running through the adjustment range of the erector, one can easily and quickly confirm that there is no deviation from the line as adjustments are made, and that the reticle and erector axis are parallel.

If a guy has the option of using a heavy fixture that rigidly holds a barreled action with a scope mounted on top, pointed at a perfectly laser leveled vertical line on a building 35 yards away accurately marked in mil and MOA or a tall target test with all of its inaccuracies possible, plus shooting a bunch of rounds down your bore, only an idiot would choose the latter.
The scope must be mounted so that the TRAVEL of the reticle is perfectly plumb while the barreled action is perfectly level.
The rub comes when the reticle won't track in the 'Z' axis (vertical) no matter how it's aligned.
100% what Mr. Nyhus has stated, if the erector does not track vertically it will have horizontal displacement somewhere in it's travel no matter where you are leveling it to the plumb line in its travel.

Exactly. And Mr Stick displayed this in his test with a known accurate rifle, accurate TT construct, favorable enviornmental's, using a random scope he purchased.
Though Mr Stick used a scope sample size of 1, which has no statistical significance if a claim were made that ALL scopes of that model would display similar tracking error, there is some suggestion that other scopes of that model could display tracking error.

How many? YGIAGAM.
I believe Al was referencing an erector that tracks in a non linear path. If it tracks in a straight line, it can be aligned vertically. The downside to forcing an erector alignment in conflict with the crosshair alignment is aiming error for any reticle aiming points other than the center.
That's why it is well-worth checking to make sure the reticle and erector axes are aligned while testing tracking and RTZ.

everybody else is weighed in so I guess I will. I'm going to make it short and simple
testing the scope alone in a known jig the test for scope function is the first thing to do
checking rifle mounts rings and such for being squaredible above bore is second step..
getting mounted absolutely square to above bore would be the final step or maybe step three
.actually shooting would be my final step. actually shooting without verifying on mechanics first can be a waste of time because of human error and or environmental factors..
the one thing I will disagree with some people on you need to learn to shoot your gun perfectly square and your scope radical set search not learn to shoot your gun with your scope radical square even though your gun may be can it in your scope can it in your rings...
shooting with your scope slightly counted whether you're actually dialing or using a radical holdover system will absolutely ruin your day

Certainly is a precision looking jig for checking optics on a barreled action. A couple questions if you do not mind.
We have to assume that screw hole in the V-block that the action is drilled with zero to small tolerance in relation to the Y axis and or there is a way to rotate the action a perfect plumb vertical.
How do you verify the action is plumb & square given the possible error in tolerances of the action screw holes & scope base screw holes location?
Perhaps you begin without the scope mounted?
Certainly looks like a slick, precise testing jig.
The knobs you see on the base plate screw in and out to level the action on the table
The aluminum piece you see with the level on top fits tightly over the scope and action. If there is any play, paper thin shims are fitted first to eliminate it
After the action is precisely leveled, the scope is then placed on the rings loosely enough to rotate.
While sighting through the scope, the reticle is lined up with the laser-leveled vertical plumb line.
The scope is then set to a 100 yard zero with a collimator, reticle aligned with the plumb line and dialed to check for perfect vertical tracking. If when dialing, the crosshairs leave the plumb line, the scope is adjusted in the rings to correct
Rings are tightened, which takes care, as simply tightening the rings change the alignment of the reticle to the plumb line.
After it’s perfect, the scope is then evaluated for reticle subtension accuracy as well as click value accuracy through its entire travel
Most of the time, when I pull the trigger where the target was and where it is relative to me are the same. Unless you’re observing from off planet?
Maybe that's why stuff that just works for everyone else ends up with you having to send it back and argue with the manufacturer 2x-3x for each product, you just don't know how to use any of it.
Certainly is a precision looking jig for checking optics on a barreled action…
Certainly looks like a slick, precise testing jig.
Oh, by the way, the jig serves two purposes
Providing a rock solid platform with the ability to level a barreled action with precision that is not possible with other methods and precisely mounting an optic while the action is precisely level
And after the precision mount is completed, full testing of the optic on the rock solid platform with the ability to manipulate the turrets without any movement to the set up
All interesting information on the finer points of optic quality. Every scope on the list used in competition lists out at probably twice as much as most average people are willing to pay total on a “hunting rifle .” For all practical purposes i could get along with a good quality peep or a fixed 4x and not notice the difference.
Sort or off topic question, for you guys who really test scopes to the absolute minimum detail….
How often, if ever, do you find one that has practically no measurable error?
Honestly curious here. I don’t have any fancy jigs/mounts to test near the level of some. I do the box test, and a semi tall target test, then verify at long range. I always have to adjust my BC to get everything to jive, if going real long.

(2) different rifles,no ammo particulars cited,no TTT,no mention of base/rings,both scopes SFP,both Mil/MOA erector/reticle juxtaposed,atmospheric conflicts and a ring "adjustment" which "might" have happened?!?

REALITY in calm conditions at 50yds,aboard a World Class Rifle,which is a very well PROVEN platform. The REUPOLD MK5 3.6-18X with simplistic erector manipulations alone,will take Agg's from the .2's,to 1-1/2"++. Left static and stabbing a vastly superior FFP reticle,to the SFP TMR which "might" have got "adjusted",my particular MK5 did nice things. The 5-20x HD mounted prior and after,dazzled like always and pinpoints more than a few things,none of which are Reupold Flattering. Hint.
Time after time. Rifle after rifle. You see a guy at the range with what should be a accurate rifle. Shooting 1.5 groups. Blaming the ammo. Blaming the gun. In every case there's a Leupold on top. Friends don't let friends use poopie loopie erectors.
I have another fake picture. Just for you. You will notice that the horse looking left is the same one in the other picture. Wearing the same rig. A horseman such as yourself would pick up on that though. Shooting was at 50 yards this time. Still no guide.
Do people make shooting game appear difficult on purpose? Blows my mind.
Awesome pic once again pathfinder. Being a good marksman pales in comparison to being a bottom feeding zero in real life. I know you understand that, some people obviously don't. Merry Christmas!

I wouldn't expect a Leupold to track as expected. I have 5 and none of them adjust close to what the dials say. I will never buy another one. The.new.ones don't hold up long and don't track. At least the old models held zero for a few years once set.
with the precision you play with in mind what Scopes in your experience make the better list and what Scopes make the not so good list as a general rule..
While there's no doubt that certain brands show certain trends (good and bad), it's really about each individual scope. The adjustment method, how the erector tube pivots and how the tube is loaded (spring tension) are the big factors in how scopes track.
Most scopes have a sharp edged round plunger that pushes directly on the erector tube. As the tube moves further, it rides closer to the edge of the plunger...pretty soon you have two narrow edges for contact points which is going to influence the consistency of adjustments. Sightron, for example, uses an integral ring around the erector tube where the plunger rides against the ring for consistent contact throughout the travel. It's one of the reasons that Sightron scopes have a reputation for reliable tracking. Here's a view of it:
Weaver's well known Micro Trac system was similar with the adjuster plunger pushing on carbide balls that drove the erector assy. The steel tube Weaver T's have a very stout erector tube pivot system. When Weaver moved to the aluminum 'T' series, they kept the carbide ball adjustment system but changed the pivot system.
Scopes that use the worm drive system for w/e adjustments tend to track very well. Good examples of those are the IOR Valdada Benchrest series. Several of the Athlon models also use that system and track very well. This Athlon I bought is one of the best tracking scopes I've ever tested, regardless of brand or price. It's on a PRS center fire rifle right now and hasn't missed a beat for two seasons.
So the answer is...it depends. I like to test them statically to make sure they are worth putting on. If that's all good, the range work is the final determiner.
Scopes don't have to be perfect. As long as the 'drift' is within the accuracy requirements for what's required of the gun, you can get away with a fair amount of wander in tracking and RTZ with power changes and after recoil. If all that's needed is a gun that shoots to 1 MOA, the window is quite a bit wider that a gun that needs to be capable of shooting sub 1/8 MOA five shot groups. A PRS gun with an honest 1/2 MOA accuracy shooting at 2 MOA and 3 MOA targets doesn't need to have a scope that tracks as well as a short range (100-300 yds) real Benchrest rig that shoots at targets that are 1/16" at 100, 1/8" at 200 and 1/4" at 300, for example. The PRS guns need sturdy externals to take the knocks and tracking that's within the window of the targets accuracy demands. Real Benchrest guns need absolute tracking and rock solid internals. If the scope has 1/8" adjustments, it must move that amount with each click. And return to zero.
One scope isn't 'better' than the other...different tools for different games, is all.

He also said he has two customers with the name Al Nyhus
Just got off the phone with Charley. He has no idea what you’re talking about Al
I didn't think they have ever been for sale.
So...you've never actually done any of this yourself and just danced semantics around to make it seem like you had the fixture and were doing your own work.

Bingo.
Reading comprehension is not your forte. I’ve posted many times that I’ve mounted my own scopes with his equipment, and tested scopes on his equipment. Charley has been a friend for 25+ years and lets me use his equipment.
Feel free to call him. I already told him to expect your call
Is there anybody in the thread other than Rick C who has dialed and killed a critter beyond 600yds? Other than me.
LiL Fish, Al Numbnuts, and DaveTheDumbazz keep posting but have zero experience. Z.E.R.O
I haven't looked at these for a few years but it's fun to dig them out. This was just a harmless prairie dog at 712 yds. Leica range finder, dial 'up' and 'over' and press the trigger. 243 Ackley and a NF 8-32 with NP2-DD reticle. Bedded bases and lapped and bedded rings (the horror).
Not quite as challenging as the 24" kill zone of a man eating elk at the same distance, of course. But in fairness, I didn't hit an antler.

Rick would desperately like to position himself as a condescending know-it-all, the persistent problem is always that he’s too stupid to grasp what he’s talking about. Repeating, and cut-pasting the oft referenced “jig” and its importance being the most frequent showcase.
Al’s probably the only one who’s posted who’s spent any time inside a scope, or understands why one would fail, or likely prove more reliable.
Burns is still a fat, pathetic spinster
best known for serial and reliable business failure. It’s a Christmas miracle that he NyQuiled himself through another lonely holiday.

So, throw the Leupold on a static rest?
Stick a saguaro up your ass. There’s plenty in Tuscon
Maiden Voyage of The Reupold Flagship. Nothing warm or fuzzy and pardon World Class Wares,using Live Ammo,at 50yds,in stellar conditions(that means good). Hint.
Well I was pretty sure your LR shooting resume would be thin and you did not disappoint.
If you have absolutely no experience using the cartridge in discussion why in the world have you ranted on endlessly???
You simply read your opinion somewhere, on the internet or in a magazine, and now you are an expert on long range cartridges. cool
The fact that you are unable to objectively watch the terminal performance on the video and understand that the 243 Win 105 VLD worked very well is simply sad.
My suggestion to you would be to purchase some over the counter antlerless tags and actually get yourself some real world experience and PRACTICE.
You are not, in any way, ready to shoot at trophy mule deer at anything close to 1000yds. You simply do not have enough knowledge or practice to attempt such shooting.

You should show up and show us how it's done! The next one is September 4th!
We could post the results right here so everyone can see how important "practice" is.

2Dogs is a bit butthurt but he really does not know why or about what.
Like a few here they just want to lash out at the world and those of whom they are envious.
Every year they seem to get farther and farther away from what made them the company worthy of the reputation they have, which I personally feel is no longer warranted.
The shear number of them we see problems with is staggering, on military weapons systems no less. They seem to be completely out of touch with the shooter, all shooters, Civilian, Law Enforcement, and Military.
Unfortunately people still flock to their products based on the past reputation, regardless of the fact their current products don't hold up to that standard. LL
We know who your daddy is, Jim Beam. Step-dad is Evan Williams, because obviously your mother is a skank...
Ok, we've established you're a lazy drunk slob hunter. Now the question is when is the last time you hunted? All these old pics from decades and a 100lbs ago are fantastic, but why live in the past? Ashamed of your weight? Or, more believable, you haven't hunted in a decade or more. Which is understandable. You get to your 50s, let the booze take over, gain 100lbs (25 being in your neck), and all the sudden waddling 25yds from yer horse to shoot becomes a real chore...

Looks like they’ve been swallowing each others kids since 2011. Probably a very good thing too. Stupid breeds stupid.
For those that haven't had one apart, this is a typical reticle 'cell'. This one is apart now and will go back together after some mods that will make it track more consistently. It's one of the 'name' mfg. scopes being discussed in this thread. It's not an etched reticle so that will give some hints. But wire reticles aren't universally a problem...depends on the wire used and the attachment method. The attachment method gives a hint as to what type of wire this is.

IOW, burns jumped to incorrect conclusions and showed his a$s. But camuglia is the type to suck up, so they formed a relationship.
What's the likelihood that burns is continuing to show his a$s, but most people don't feel the need to suck up, so he continues to show his a$s?
Well when you think about it, there is lots to be jealous of, but none of us will admit it.....

Yep. Cumaglia likely conceded that Mr Burns is the more experienced and knowledgeable of the pair. That explains why cumaglia follows Mr Burns around the forum in a support role.

Good shootin'
Al,
I feel your pain and that upon their former Flagship and I shoulda never looked,as it was/is beyond disheartening. Hint.
I had a 6.5-20 Vari X 111 with tall target knobs I used in FTR. It was a great scope that I sold on this site. Since I don’t have any experience with the newer Leopolds getting discussed here, I won’t comment on those.
Regarding the comment that no one is posting pictures of animals from 600+ yards, this is last October. 660 yards with my 2-12 Athlon while hunting with my son.
Maiden Voyage of The Reupold Flagship. Nothing warm or fuzzy and pardon World Class Wares,using Live Ammo,at 50yds,in stellar conditions(that means good). Hint.

That's a great buck. No wonder you use it in different pictures and settings.
And the whole class can see the Gold Ring on that optic.
Here's one of the guide packing it out for you.

I think we are seeing a solid trend here in that those that can do don't spend much time bitching about what others use on their rifles.
It's obvious a few think it's their full time job to spread LDS. Almost like a paying job.

Elevation and windage adjusters from the same scope as the previously pictured reticle cell. It tracked erratically, especially the windage. It would seemingly move, then stop, then back up or jump forward. It gave it's owner quite a bit of grief on paper and the same traits were seen on my scope checker when I was later asked to check it.
These are the adjusters. If you look closely, you can see there's a little stem of brass inside the middle of the brass insert. This stem is adjusted to be in contact with the erector and move it with adjustment changes. Look even closer...you can see that one stem protrudes from the insert while the other does not:
This is the elevation adjuster. You can faintly see a light mark on the erector where the stem has made contact. So far, so good. The stem could be a a bit further out but not too bad, all in all.
And here is the windage adjuster. Since the stem wasn't adjusted from the factory to be further out than the lower edge of the insert, the entire periphery of the insert bears against the erector tube when adjustments are made. It's already begun to dig into the erector tube as the marks clearly show. Bingo...there's the problem.
Both stems have been readjusted, sealed to prevent movement and a couple other rubs done to the pivot joint. The wear marks on the erector from the windage adjuster aren't a problem since the stem is in the middle of them all around the travel cycle. The majority of the time, this is the cause of tracking problems.....assuming a decent mounting system that's relatively stress free.
Again, this is essentially a new scope with less than 100 rounds on it. Had this scope been checked on a quality scope checker before going on the rifle, this problem would have stuck out like a sore thumb and it could have been returned. He may have gotten a better one as a replacement or they might have tried to fix this one. Not exactly confidence inspiring either way. This is simply poor quality control at the manufacturer's assembly line and a complete disregard of the customer. He didn't want to mess with them as he'd lost confidence. He ordered another brand.
For those interested in this stuff, feel free to copy these images and save them for reference.
Plus, you'll be ahead of the curve when an M.C.P'er (Master Copy Paster) posts these down the road to show people his tooling and jigs.

That's a great buck. No wonder you use it in different pictures and settings.
You, ummmmm.....you're the one that asked to see a pict with his face in it.
No I didn't ask to see his face.
I commented on his fear of showing pictures with faces unless it was a kid.
I also commented he used another picture of that same buck in a different setting and implied a 16 yr old girl killed it.
So truthfully I did not see that picture coming for a few reasons but I did see the Leupold Gold Rings in the pictures he posted.
In addition, I find the over use of Gifs on the site to be getting out of hand and will be talking to Rick Bin about such wastes of bandwidth.

I, like all the Fans, can't wait for more pictures of "pretend" hunting, staged shots, and "wares that exist".
Yeah.
I called it pretty early. It's what WIZARDs do but really Sammie Davis saw this faked picture shit show coming.
John, a 16 year old girl did kill it. She would be the small human to my right. Im also curious where you have seen me comment on Leupold? But yes, you were whining about not seeing me. So boo!
Great info as usual Al, thanks for posting. Is there an easy was to refill them with nitrogen after the work? Just curious, it's heavier than air nature could help facilitate that it seems.

LOL.
What kind of a shit bird holds the head on someone elses Big Whitetail. Please post a nice picture of the girl and her great buck minus you hogging the shot. Is it possible you never took a picture of her and her buck?
Post up me wanting to see your face. I just commented that you were blurring faces.
Which is weirdo behaviour just like holding someone elses antlers like you had killed the buck.
Glad you have come around around on Leupold. I call that progress.

This will be fun. It sure wasn't Argon in that scope, if you know what I mean.
I have a bunch of Puked Reupold glass that I should yard apart,to see WTF. Maybe they can install Spotting Scope Erector Assemblies in them,so they'll track?!? Hint.

John, I’m her father. And I’m in that picture so the likes of people like you understand that. Oh, and the head of a deer like that is actually heavy. Lol.

Awesome pics.
It’s obviously lost on the town drunk, but I’d almost guarantee the pic of you 2 together means way more to your daughter.

Well she got it done (holding the head) so again it's weird to take a picture posing with a head not yours plus posting the picture on the web with no explanation except you're in the picture and holding the head. Added in you have been posting other pictures in this thread acting like you had taken the animals.
I can say you don't add anything to the picture and nobody knew she took the buck until you posted it later.
It's also weird to blur out faces.
So we can assume you didn't take any of the game you posted in the pictures with blurred faces because you sure showed your mug with somebody elses buck.
Strange attempt at a flex?
Any way as this has become a Leupold picture thread here is decent buck Jeff shot. I took the picture but managed to let him hold the head to not be weird.
Elevation and windage adjusters from the same scope as the previously pictured reticle cell. It tracked erratically, especially the windage. It would seemingly move, then stop, then back up or jump forward. It gave it's owner quite a bit of grief on paper and the same traits were seen on my scope checker when I was later asked to check it.
These are the adjusters. If you look closely, you can see there's a little stem of brass inside the middle of the brass insert. This stem is adjusted to be in contact with the erector and move it with adjustment changes. Look even closer...you can see that one stem protrudes from the insert while the other does not:
This is the elevation adjuster. You can faintly see a light mark on the erector where the stem has made contact. So far, so good. The stem could be a a bit further out but not too bad, all in all.
And here is the windage adjuster. Since the stem wasn't adjusted from the factory to be further out than the lower edge of the insert, the entire periphery of the insert bears against the erector tube when adjustments are made. It's already begun to dig into the erector tube as the marks clearly show. Bingo...there's the problem.
Both stems have been readjusted, sealed to prevent movement and a couple other rubs done to the pivot joint. The wear marks on the erector from the windage adjuster aren't a problem since the stem is in the middle of them all around the travel cycle.
Again, this is essentially a new scope with less than 100 rounds on it. Had this scope been checked on a quality scope checker before going on the rifle, this problem would have stuck out like a sore thumb and it could have been returned. He may have gotten a better one as a replacement or they might have tried to fix this one. Not exactly confidence inspiring either way. This is simply poor quality control at the manufacturer on the assembly line with a complete disregard to the customer.

So what scope manufacturer refuses to warranty a scope after it has been mounted on a rifle?
So what scope manufacturer refuses to warranty a scope after it has been mounted on a rifle?
No doubt they would have honored the warranty. In fact, I pushed him to send it back. But he was done with them and that was that. He's a pretty hard hunter and doesn't suffer gear he's not confident in.
What a great pic.....easy to see that you're proud of her and visa versa.
My youngest daughter and I made lots of lifetime memories hunting pheasants and fox. She loved pheasant hunting the most....watching our dog work.
Congratulations. -Al
Yep.
Of all the silly 'envy' talk tossed around, this is one of the few pics that should bring that emotion forward (some won't understand why, and more's the pity for them). I'll never have another 'first buck' with my son, but there's always the 'next buck'.

Gluckgluck4000 aka the Gizard aka the Gullet wouldn't know about having children, raising them, and helping them along their path of becoming hunters. He is a pathetic man that doesn't have a family.

Well to be fair it's a pretty big ego. I always wonder if pretending I am drunk makes it hurt less?
I would feel even dumber losing a battle of wits to a guy under the influence but not everybody is the same.
How did that thread where you spouted off about bullet blowups work out?

This erector has been in my range box for years...works well to examine a target w/o touching it and see if either a rescore or a big sigh of relief comes next. It's from the flagship line of a major manufacturer.

Any damage or defect in that case points directly to the user. He just doesn't say that none of his equipment holds up. One good bender, throwing it around on the rocks, and it's time to place an order and hit the supply closet for a backup bucket-o-crap optiq.
Just adds another verse to "99 junk rifles on the wall". Take one down, throw it around. 100 junk rifles on the wall.

Hey fat piece of s hit, I'm going hunting this weekend, want to tag along? No horses though, you have to bring yer big boy pants to keep up. Which for you is probably size 42. No reupolds either.....and no booze. I hear they make medication to stave off the detox tremors...

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that Leupold is NOT what they used to be. They were THE "go to" scope in the 60's & 70's, but camera manufacturers started not only catching up, but surpassing them in lens' quality & coatings.
Also read that the 3rd or 4th generation of the original family now runs the operation (not sure which) & sometimes THEY cut corners anyway possible for maximum profit. Just the way it goes.

Of interest is what quality control method scope manufacturers use.
In Als example photos the method is likely not 100% inspection for every individual component. In that example a TQM method might be in place relying on the ability and attention of the person assembling that part. That is problematic as people either intentionally (corporate sabotage) or through error produce product that is defective, out of specification.
It's common in some manufacturing to use a statistical interval for component or assembly inspection. The goal is 100% defect free assemblies. But, the cost department gets in on the action and sets a goal where a number of defective assemblies are acceptable. This is a measure of how much warranty/customer satisfaction is impacted. If 1 out of 1000 defects result in warranty/customer dissatisfaction that's aok.
This is common. Those 999 customers are satisfied, the 1 customer, well so what.

Who do you think made the scope Al Numbnutz took apart? When do you think it was made?
My observation with the Leupolds (that I previously owned) vs the brands that I now own are as follows:
My 3 Nikon Monarchs (hunting) scopes are not only clearer but track perfectly.
My Sightron S3 (target & hunting) scopes are not only clearer but track perfectly.
My Nightforce Benchrest scopes are not only clearer but track perfectly.
My March fixed power target scope is not only clearer, it also tracks perfectly.
I won't be purchasing any more Leupold products, which I'm sure you don't give 2 craps about.
By the way, Al Nyhus has forgotten more about "precision shooting" than you will ever know. FACT!!!!
How are readers now "ahead of the curve" after your pictures?
What have the photos accomplished?
It’s couched like a “gotcha” question, but Rick really is this stupid.
What’s really funny is that no one, including Al, has an answer
😂😂😂
I'm sitting here laughing at you imagining your beet red face as you snarl at the keyboard. Have a cocktail, calm down, relax. It's ok that you choose Leupold products, really, it is.

The answer is so simple it hardly merits a response, but he shows a random, immediately available to him example of erector adjustments that were never properly installed or tested. Their improper installation. (The outer ring bearing and wearing on the erector) damaged the surface contact area of the assembly, and would always affect the tracking of the scope. It would manifest itself in what so many typically complain about with their scopes—-erratic tracking. Bumps on the surface make radical jumps while adjusting. As Stick experienced tracking problems, it was pretty relevant. More so than Pictures where someone shot something the size of a bathtub from distance.
It's common in some manufacturing to use a statistical interval for component or assembly inspection. The goal is 100% defect free assemblies. But, the cost department gets in on the action and sets a goal where a number of defective assemblies are acceptable. This is a measure of how much warranty/customer satisfaction is impacted. If 1 out of 1000 defects result in warranty/customer dissatisfaction that's aok.
This is common. Those 999 customers are satisfied, the 1 customer, well so what.
Leupold builds to a very minimum standard. Hopes you dont use it much. Service is always there to patch up the mess. They have been rolling this way a very long time. dave
The rub comes from me having Leupolds on about every rifle I owned at one time. I’ve had and shot dozens of them and in all fairness they were at one time some of the best you could get especially for a set and forget scope. However times have changed and other brands have improved and surpassed most of their wares. That is especially true when dialing. I wish it weren’t so but it is what it is.

Yet very many of us dial Leupolds most every day.
Wonder how that works?
And we don't feel a need to attack other brands of optics.
I don’t look at it as attacking a “brand” I look at it kinda like walking down the street and stepping in a pile of dog [bleep] And pointing out to my friend that it’s there so he won’t step in it.
Again I’m not defending a certain brand as I own and use multiples. But [bleep] is [bleep] and I’ve had to many leupolds that wouldn’t track to ever step in that [bleep] again.

Your staged pictures show you are obviously heavily invested in bashing Leupold. It's irrational.
Objectively, Leupold has a very good track record in competition, Millitary, and those of us who dial on game.
I always get a good chuckle when Randos who never post any game or field pictures whine about my pictures.
Sorry you couldn't get Leupolds to work but in fairness you could have bought good rifles.
the threads are so awesome late at night. some guy still got just dripping off ther chin or just too drunk to answer.. most of us know who some of the best champions are that actually shoot. but them guys will get lucky wants them all also do really good and congratulations...
maybe the others become has been but are pretty much contemplating suicide sucking a Glock which they should actually complete the task.
and lot of other people want to listen to learn more and share experiences..
but when the drunken clown show shows up it gets pretty hard to do

Was wondering where you got off to Caligula No, I’m not a lumberjack. And no we don’t wear orange . Or camo for that matter. We just kill a lot of [bleep] and make it look easy.
Thanks Good genetics for both. Those bears are just decent bears though We’ve killed much bigger I need to find my other phone and get some pics off it
Ill give credit where it’s due I have learned a lot from him and he’s always been more than willing to help when asked. You can interpret that however you want

LMFAO. The mentor the son-in-law and a little dream.
Great info as usual Al, thanks for posting. Is there an easy was to refill them with nitrogen after the work? Just curious, it's heavier than air nature could help facilitate that it seems.
Mike, a whiff of argon in them works pretty good. Argon molecules being larger than nitrogen, it doesn't seep past seals, etc. as easily as nitrogen can. There's always argon at the race shop for the TIG welder.....took this pic today when I was doing some work there. Very little, if any, argon or nitrogen remains in scopes after a while anyway.
Christmas was great! And I love those rifles. Not much out there that will compete/perform with them even though I’m still slumming 75’s. I hope you had a great Christmas and also a Happy new Year!

We had a great Christmas, gonna hunt the next few days while the kiddo is still out of school.
I still shoot 75s out of my 223ai and 22 250 ai and don't really want for more. The newest 22 creed is 1 in 7.5 twist , I shoot 88s in it exclusively, they do a good job near and far as well.
I’m still running original Amax as I have a bunch ratholed. I’ve killed a boat load of stuff with them and push them pretty hard. I still believe there’s some kind of magic in that bullet!
Best part of the whole thread is the Leupold spotter that's busted 3 times and still John Jrs go to. Nothing like needing butt hurt to cry about.
Credit for staying the course.
Test the trijicon it was my pick from the start.
Unbiased test would be the only request, but that sure ain't happening. HINT.
The Trijicon will "fail" too. It's not on Riar Rarry's pimp list. This was all a game and a shtick to promote his self-proclaimed best "wares" and to try to throw dirt at the competitors. However, it was an epic fail, as usual.
Better question is why follow the soap opera. As it stands, we're at the point where people act like nobody else should be allowed to like something they don't like, and also act like deer are hard to kill.

I rather enjoy The Brokedick Spotting Scope Whine,of those "living" vicariously. Hint.
Reupold MK4 Third Puke. Hint.
Prior to sending it off to the VERY busy Reupold Repair Factory,I procured an obvious upgrade,so as to preclude being without a Milscale FFP Spotter. Hint.
The Reupold MK4 FFP Milscale Spotter will set riding the pine,despite the rebuilt Tactical Erector Assembly. Hint.
I too am curious about said Trijicon,but was either too busy yanking Chrome or atmospherics precluded a fair TTT. There are lots of things to like about it,but internals are always my greatest concern. Hint.

Hey stick,
If you will send your Mark V to me, or directly to my gunsmith, I’ll be happy to pay for the evaluation to be performed by an impartial party.
We can post the findings how ever they shake out here
I like painting them for a several reasons Firstly I like the fact that they add ALOT of color to a picture. Also makes it easier to glance at a pic and tell what rifle was used . Also it helps sort rifles when you have multiples of same. And occasionally I’ll tell the girls to go grab that blue, green , orange , etc one ……… hard to make a mistake that way.
Spray paint from Walmart and the choices are unlimited.

Of interest is what quality control method scope manufacturers use.
In Als example photos the method is likely not 100% inspection for every individual component. In that example a TQM method might be in place relying on the ability and attention of the person assembling that part. That is problematic as people either intentionally (corporate sabotage) or through error produce product that is defective, out of specification.
It's common in some manufacturing to use a statistical interval for component or assembly inspection. The goal is 100% defect free assemblies. But, the cost department gets in on the action and sets a goal where a number of defective assemblies are acceptable. This is a measure of how much warranty/customer satisfaction is impacted. If 1 out of 1000 defects result in warranty/customer dissatisfaction that's aok.
This is common. Those 999 customers are satisfied, the 1 customer, well so what/
I have had this very conversation with a friend over the past few weeks, when corporate bonuses are tied to the number of product versus the quality of the product, the quality ultimately suffers. Some people are more concerned about their income and not the corporations they are employed by. If they would concern themselves with the actual quality of the product they are charged with overseeing, the production numbers would increase simply by the smoothness of how product moved thru the facility without interruption.

I’ll pay round trip shipping as well.
I’m sure the board would be interested in the results
I don't have a dog in this fight or any animosity toward any of the various posters on this thread - but what are the odds that said scope would "track and RTZ" perfectly? 100%? I see zero advantage for him sending it......
Now if you wanted to pay shipping to send it to Al N, I'd be very interested in that.
I'm suspicious myself. Let's just say I have exactly zero Leupolds on my rifles. At one time almost all of them wore a Leupie of one flavor or another.
Is there anybody in the thread other than Rick C who has dialed and killed a critter beyond 600yds? Other than me.
LiL Fish, Al Numbnuts, and DaveTheDumbazz keep posting but have zero experience. Z.E.R.O
I’ve killed a couple big game species in the 700 yard range, about half a dozen whitetail by dialing, and countless prairie dogs to just over 1,000 yards.
I have won local F-Class matches, PRS style matches, and have placed top 20 on national-level PRS matches. I have been shooting long range since the days of mildot scopes with MOA turrets.
I don't have a dog in this fight or any animosity toward any of the various posters on this thread - but what are the odds that said scope would "track and RTZ" perfectly? 100%?
So you're saying exactly the same odds as an Arken, SuperSniper or Athlon performs perfectly for Stick?
I do believe it would be quite interesting for a few others to have the exact same scope do their thing with it and see what they thought.
my mind form a competitive game that I most do and like the most is the silhouette game. haven't seen an updated list than a couple years but yeah Leopold it's the most used optic, with a fair number of Weaver thrown in and Sightron is becoming more common is probably . That game is not about pure precision but your ability to hold off hand. and what has limited the number of Scopes such as Arken , SS , Athlon and many others is the weight of the scope to make the overall weight requirements for the game. ..

That's the thing: there's a lot of scopes that apparently work for everyone but a certain someone here. And they work in competition, on record. Heck, I've got another Athlon 2-12 on my son's left handed Bergara B14r, he loves that scope on his hunting rifle, so why not use the same on the 22? For under $400 it's a no brainer to me, but it doesn't mean that other scopes don't track repeatedly. I've been impressed lately by the tracking on a few Sightron S3's a few friends have.
The idea that what is being used by literally thousands of people in competition is junk and doesn't work doesn't make sense. Plinkers and "box a year" hunters may not GAF, but people spending the time and money to shoot in competition, especially those doing well, are not going to use junk even if it's given to them.

The offer was for a respected LR gunsmith to test the optic. Impartial 3rd party with a known fixture and known technique.
Conversely Al N has a dog in the fight, is a known "pard" of LiL Fish, and suffers from LDS. He does not have a good testing fixture or a collimater and his techniques are less than "cutting edge".
I do wonder if even Al N could repeat Lil Fish's 3 MOA groups at 50yds so this concept of letting a few different people run that MK V through some testing would be intersting.
Anyone else like a chance to test out that MK V? Could be as simple and quick as shooting a few groups at 50 yds. LiL Fish claimed he could not get better than 3 MOA and it was the optics fault.
I wanna see five yard testing . Ten shot group, Brother Burns?

I wouldn’t discount Al.
His testing is “cutting edge”, using precision Christmas wrapping paper in his “tests”.
Even though he wouldn’t be able to tell if the scope works as designed, he could take that Mark V, dismantle it, and take pictures of random parts to impress the board.
I reckon it plum flattering,the number of times a day,you gals think about me. Hint.

It took a rifle that Agg's in the .2's,to 1-1/2"++. Hint.
If I was coaching a Jr shooter (and I feel like I am) and I saw that expanded, horizontally-strung group, I'd tell the kid that he isn't holding the rifle straight up & down each time.

Only a Reupold erector,can take a World Class Rifle from shooting in the .2's,to 1-1/2"+ at 50yds,in killer conditions. Helen Keller can paste a vertical reticle,on a gravity fueled plum line and I'll feign my "surprise" that you can't. Hint.

Failure to have a consistent cant. A missed 3mph. "Shouldering" the rifle. Poor NPA. Poor reticle focus, astigmatism. Lack of follow through.
I think the list of who can do that contains more than just "Reupold".
I laugh at how you complain about Leupolds, but there you are... buying another and complaining. Hurt feelers over Leupold AGAIN. Genius, those Leupold MFers.
Keep extolling your very WELL founded Insecurities,as you think about me incessantly,while "living" vicariously. Please keep The Brokedick Hurt Feeler Reports coming. Hint.
Be SURE to start a Thread,when you see your first Vudoo.
Hard pass. Went Bergara B14r instead. I'll wait for you to explain why it isn't a good option for someone wanting a full-sized, left handed 22......
Take it to one of those competitions you seem so stuck on and you'll see how it compares to a Vudoo.
That's pretty much the whole point. The irony of a guy shilling inexpensive chink scopes while at the same time acting like you need a Vudoo to have fun or compete with an accurate bolt .22lr seems to have gone waaaaaay over your head.
Pardon the power of my words and a simplistic objective critique,controlling your "life" and every thought. Fortunately for you,Whining is free,so even you can "afford" to "contribute". Hint.
If only Riar Rarry could afford some decent 22 ammo, he'd quickly realize what the problem is. The steel case Russian rooster stuff doesn't cut the mustard. Hint.
Put it on a centerfire. If you have one that shoots close to that at 50 yards. Evidently nada

It's funny how you summed up the MK5 HD 3.6-18x so succinctly today,when you simply said "I wouldn't Hunt that". Shoulda nabbed pics of the Image Stabilized Sig Bino's.

What’s really funny is the Mark V HD that I posted the evaluation sheet for was mounted on a rifle and hunted. It was a once in a lifetime hunt and trusted for that. The results were spectacular.

How much cough syrup makes you trip? A dose of 100-200 mg induces mild stimulation and euphoria. A dose of 200-400 mg leads to stronger euphoria and hallucinations. A dose of 300-600 mg causes loss of motor coordination and visual distortions. A dose of 500-1500 mg leads to out-of-body sensations.

What kind/brand of cough syrup. I want to try some a'dat.
Just bought that Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 that's all the rage now. Rest assured I won't post my findings...
You probably won't try to break it just to say you can and do all.

I don't see him buying a nice camera anytime in the future.
Sounds a little Alaskan John.
Get your blood pressure checked before you start telling people money grows on trees.
Stolen valor good try John. It's clear that you and John Jr have definitely heisted a couple dozen donuts in your day. It's a shame to see family fight.
Thanks ,Brother Al ,for being the only true optical expert here......
I'm far from that...just a guy that works on stuff. People like Alan Orr, Cheryl Ackerman, the late Wally Siebert, Bill Ackerman and Dick Thomas ...now those people are and were serious experts.

Maybe stick should send the Mark 5 to you. You could take it apart, diagnose the problem, take some pics to post, fix it and squirt some argon in the tube.
Just a suggestion
Heck, since the clowns at Leupold don’t know what they’re doing, maybe they’ll hire you to straighten out their Quality Control

It's funny how you summed up the MK5 HD 3.6-18x so succinctly today,when you simply said "I wouldn't Hunt that". Shoulda nabbed pics of the Image Stabilized Sig Bino's.
What’s really funny is the Mark V HD that I posted the evaluation sheet for was mounted on a rifle and hunted. It was a once in a lifetime hunt and trusted for that. The results were spectacular.
500 yards
Any other pictures or details on the ram you can share?

NM once in a lifetime tag drawn by my friend. It was his very first try applying and he drew!
He did not even have a suitable rifle after drawing the tag. He asked me for advice and, of course, told him to build a good rifle with a good barrel and stock
He’s a dedicated bow hunter
He took the advice of a guide friend of his and bout a factory rifle with a 1 MOA guarantee in .300 PRC with factory ammo 🤪
He needed a scope.
A friend who I shoot with had the 3-18 Mark 5 HD 44mm he wasn’t using, so it was purchased
Gun and scope sent to Score High for the precision mount and evaluation. Tested perfect and told him it was the best scope they’ve ever tested. I’ve posted the evaluation sheet here. Same scope stick has. 🤣

Nice ram even with the sinusitis. What did they age him at? I killed my Desert Bighorn here in 2006 with my favorite 2.5x 8 purchased in the early 90s. Still working on drawing my Rocky tag. The same scope was converted to CDS with MOA dial around 2011 and just used for my Coues buck this year, one of many its taken over the years on 3 different rifles.

I have been on many hunts that I didn't pull the trigger but did more in preparation and recovery than the one that pulled the trigger. I feel I have the right to converse about it and the pros and cons.
Hell some guys even paint their stocks to match so they can ride the coat tails.
The difference being I own the rifle/scope in the pic Loaded for the rifle in the pic Shoot the rifle in the pic to verify dope up to 650 yards Spotted the bear Found the bear after the shot Well you get the idea .
And that is my daughter So I do have first hand experience with that combo.
I didn’t pay someone to “test it” or post pics of a “friends” animal If I want to know about any of that I’d have to ask his “friend” for first hand info
So let me get this straight You post a pic of someone else’s scope tracking results and someone else’s ram?
Well, yeah.
You might want to go back and check the OP since following along is a challenge
The thread is about scopes, particularly a Leupold Mark 5 3-18 HD.
I’ve actually had a Leupold work a time or two if you insist
870 yards.
That’s a picture of me, my dog and a buck. Also evidence of nice scope tracking from a 100 yard zero in 15 mph crosswind across a giant canyon.
Leupold Mark 4 LR ERT 8-25x
840 yards
Leupold Mark 4 M5A2
More evidence of really good tracking. Also evidence of what a precision mount with a bubble level properly installed results in.
That’s an antelope buck. He was not broadside. He was facing me straight on. 1/4 mil hold off for wind and checking the bubble level. Canting results in a miss
It also results in big horizontal “groups” on a 50 yard attempt at a TTT as more dope is dialed into the optic
Funny how the fact that someone referencing an animal taken at 500 yards with the exact scope someone else is bashing as junk is ignored, all while irrelevant stuff on the periphery is focused on like a freaking laser beam.
Kinda like the offer to have a well known, independent gunsmith with a good reputation test that scope's tracking has been (and will continue to be) ignored.
Funny place. You [bleep] tards fight over rifles and scopes when the whole world wants to take them away. Bickering over who's product choice is better seems useless know your enemy seems more in order.
Raghorn that's a very nice bear but one could agree with you that if you can't do your own set up you have no business shooting. Dont tell your kiddo. Hypocrisy is truly blind. I read that John Jr bought a lathe so you must really be in the honey hole. Making chips and huffing paint. Some whiskey and it could be ceremonial.

Yea Funny how it works. Ive had leupolds that work pretty good . I’ve also had leupolds that didn’t. I got tired of working with them and moved on to more reliable wares. Point being I have had too high of a failure rate with Leupold for me to keep using them. I arrived at that conclusion by buying and using them myself. Not by I heard it from ?……or some test done by ?.

Ps...my SuperTrickler has been released from customs and a local fellow here was silly enough to come around and have a play with my loading gear...it is going to cost him several grand to upgrade (he has the bug).

That's an interesting rule you've choosen for yourself.
From what I've seen, you appear to be a shell of whatever it was you think you used to be. You seem to be universally despised on this site. Well except for a certain acolyte that seems to receive the same regard you receive, and for the same reasons. It appears you were banned from AR15.com for threatening to shoot people, and then blamed illness and the-drink for your abhorent posts. You teach nothing here. You appear to me to be a simple-minded, narcissistic, blowhard that passes on nothing of value. For all his bombastic posts, I've learned far more from Big Stick than from you.
So in following that rule, these are the choices you've made for yourself.

To be fair I am only banned on ARF com.
Was that for threatening to hunt down and kill bump stock users?
My hopes were that my MK5 3.6-18x would track,repeat and hold zero. It simply did not,because it can not and I was "asking" very little of it,aboard a World Class platform and 25rds of 22LR was wayyyyy too much for it to "handle". Hint.
It took said platform from shooting in the .2's with it's mainstay 5-20x HD MQ FFP LitBitch,to 1-1/2" patterns. Hint.
Such things reliably Unkchunt Whining Brokedicks,Professional Victims and those "living" vicariously. None of which,ain't not funnier than fhuqk! Hint.
I'd actually prefer the mk 5 3.6-18 work as it should. They don't. Why pay 2k for something that has been shown time after time to fail?
I spent $2500 on an illuminated Mark 6 3-18x when they supposedly fixed the turrets/tracking. I love the scope for the size and weight. Its been back to Leupold three times. Once, it took three months to be repaired. Their excuse was there were going to actually shoot it, and there was snow on their range. I was unimpressed with the warranty/customer service on that expensive paperweight. The last trip back it seems to work now and I did use it to kill a couple animals at 700+. However, taking that same rifle to a mile, tracking error was large enough I couldn't connect. I put a PMII off my Accuracy International on the rifle and hits happened.

that's actually true no disagreement from me anyway..
the real irony here for me I have several scopes probable like 8 or 10 nothing newer than a VX II - III.. and one somewhat newer Mark AR 3-9x40 . I've had zero issues. except for the mark AR does currently have a separated crosshair. I need to get it sent in I just have it..
but it's not just here but there are several places throughout the internet bitching about the newer Leupolds not cracking correctly and not holding up.. so I don't know if they have a parts problem a real problem or just what. or is it people are mounting optics not as they should with too much torque and such which actually John Burns did hint toward earlier on in this thread.. I do remember there was a certain member here that always talking about mounting scope and he was using like 80 in pounds on the rings. maybe there's some rings out there that require that but not that I know of that sounds a bit tight to me...
and Leupold as long recommended not mounting a ring within I forget the exact distance of the turrets but leave it some space don't mount it right up on the turret area and don't mount it right up on the bell and don't mount it right up on the power ring...
which leads me to another question nobody can really answer are the newer Scopes less forgiving on how they're mounted and compounding that issue?

Nope.
Unspecified personal attacks.
I was good at making the monkey dance over there and one of the site staff hated dancing.
But you will keep on being a Lying Liar becasue it just who you lying liars do.
That and they have no pictures.
Everyone knows LiL Fish is lying and faked her tall target test.
That's why she won't let anyone else test that MK V.

Everyone knows LiL Fish is lying and faked her tall target test.
That's why she won't let anyone else test that MK V.
And what have I lied about, you lying you alcoholic piece of [bleep]?
My hopes were that my MK5 3.6-18x would track,repeat and hold zero. It simply did not,because it can not and I was "asking" very little of it,aboard a World Class platform and 25rds of 22LR was wayyyyy too much for it to "handle". Hint.
So, when are you sending it off for Independent testing?
I'd actually prefer the mk 5 3.6-18 work as it should. They don't. Why pay 2k for something that has been shown time after time to fail?
I spent $2500 on an illuminated Mark 6 3-18x when they supposedly fixed the turrets/tracking. I love the scope for the size and weight. Its been back to Leupold three times. Once, it took three months to be repaired. Their excuse was there were going to actually shoot it, and there was snow on their range. I was unimpressed with the warranty/customer service on that expensive paperweight. The last trip back it seems to work now and I did use it to kill a couple animals at 700+. However, taking that same rifle to a mile, tracking error was large enough I couldn't connect. I put a PMII off my Accuracy International on the rifle and hits happened.
And what would be my motivation for lying about this? Hmmm.
What would your motivation be for making people believe it isn't true? Hmmm.

“world class platform” ≠ world class shooter. HINT
Of all the mass of alleged rifles with high BC, BS, OAL, VLC, VD, etc. that he throws together in the hacksaw hackjob shop, a 22 LR is the best he could come up with to test a scope, and actually think he is a world class bull$hitter enough to make people think his pea shooter killed a scope?
Oh Riar Rarry. Got to come up with some new material for 2024. Xi is counting on it.
I wouldn't send a $2000 optic to Burns or any friend of burns. You can't trust anybody Burns vouches for, based on his past business dealings and reputation.

I'm pretty sure the gunsmith in question has a good reputation and excellent equipment to test a scope's tracking.
From what I have read here, it would go right to said gunsmith, so? 🤷

I’ve heard no mention of a specific gunsmith, but Burns’ reputation would taint whoever it is.
Question is why? Why not send it back to the maker so that it can be repaired?

Because Stick posts a lot of staged pictures and not a lot of him shooting, and, considering his body of work and apparent agenda, it would be interesting to see what a highly regarded gunsmith gets when that scope is tested in a precision jig, and compare the results to the "OMFG IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL" drama queen stuff posted here.

Al seem to know this same gunsmith and Al seems very level-headed and reputable..
I didn't say it was Burns. But any acquaintance or recommendation of Burns is tainted.
So, just to clarify, regardless of widespread reputation and work history, the gunsmith in question is "tainted" because a member here you don't like knows of him???
Seems legit. 🙄
Watching the pushback to someone testing the exact same scope, but in a repeatable manner, with precision equipment, is hilarious.
More evidence from group A. The fat, drunk, red-faced liar will call anybody that questions a sample from the company he has a financial interest in, a liar. That is why nothing good happens on this board.

I haven't heard anybody name said gunsmith, so how would I know his reputation? We all know Burns is a liar and we know how shady his business history is--therefore if it is Burns' idea or recommendation, it is automatically suspect. Do you make it a habit of sending money to strangers?
I don't care who tests the scope, but I wouldn't send my $2000 optic to anybody but the person that would repair it.

I don't give two [bleep] about Stick or if he's telling the truth or not. In fact, I rather don't care for his online persona.
What I do have a problem with is that fat sack of crap calling everybody with a broken Leupold a liar.

Except the image didn't display on my browser. Don't you have to start drinking? Its what? After ten in your time zone?
If you can't figure out how to use the Internet and see pictures, I'm not inclined to take how many "times" it took you to get a scope working properly all that seriously.
(I'm freaking kidding, calm down 😁)
I haven't used a Leupold for a few years now, and don't really GAS, I just want to see if sticky was incompetent, lying, or nailed it with his scope testing.

I have good intel that indicates Stick is a poser....
A Big Stick vs. John Burns dick measuring Leupold thread is certainly not going to disappoint when it comes to entertainment value....
which kind of leads me to wonder. why would Stick just flat lie about it? now if it's a human or mechanical error that's one thing but just a flat lie??? what would he have to gain by that.
be the same way for John. since greybull precision is no more what would he have to gain? a few $$ on the Scopes that he sells on a gun with a package? not personally do not know. but I sure know they both get really worked up about this..

Yeah, computer is a work computer. Stuff is blocked.
What amazes me is how the red-faced blowhard rejects any claim a Leupold product is faulty. It really pisses in his Wheaties.
I have good intel that indicates Stick is a poser....
You don't really need insider info to look at the body of his work and go, gee, there's a whole lot of staged pictures with lots of stuff, but no actual long range precision shooting pics. And his "flavor of the day" is always perfect......until it isn't because he's found a new flavor.
Everyone I know that shoots a lot of long range has a few nice rifle, maybe a few few, and several pieces of good glass. Not "hundreds" of $300 scopes.
But, hey, whatever makes ya happy. For stick, it's obviously having the most stuff, not excelling at using it.

I have a hard time believing somebody would spend $2,000 to make a photo to give credence to a made up story. On the flip side, one does obviously have a financial tie to Leupold so much he bragged about going to their factory. He takes it personal when somebody talks about a broken Leupold.
I absolutely believe there are Leupold scopes failing to track, from both personal experience and the experience of others who I do trust (not Big Stick or John Burns).
Meanwhile, I have shown proof of owning multiple Mark 6 scopes and proof that I am no slouch shooting long range. Pulling off a $2500 Mark 6 and replacing it with an S&B fixed all the problems I had.

So, hear me out. I get what you're saying, I really do, but, IMO, a while lotta this site has such a hardon for Burns that it clouds everything.
This site has numerous people who also act like literally every Leupold scope sucks, doesn't track, and doesn't hold zero.
Acting like Leupold scopes are perfect and acting like they all universally suck are both ridiculous positions to argue. A lot of Leupold scopes don't track repeatedly. Especially "budget" ones. But, at the same time, people win serious long range shooting competitions with them, and kill game at long range with them. So SOME of their scopes obviously work.
Which brings us to this: an opportunity to have a well regarded, impartial gunsmith, one known for checking high end scope tracking with precision gear for shooters who win national competitions, check the exact scope Stick did so we can all compare the results.

Seems like a win-win to me.
That’s pretty much exactly what I said earlier. Group A. And Group B are both wrong.
Like I said, I have two Mark 6s and one has been solid from day 1.

You lie like an honest man breaths.

I'll admit without your authentic frontier gibberish scope review, my son probably wouldn't have had such an easy time dialing in another 2-12 Helos this morning, but that's about it.
You still need to get some cardio in and lose a few chins, then maybe you'll be more comfortable posting pics with you in them from this century.
Pardon me having more $400 scopes than you do. I haven't shot an animal in 15 years, but I can show pictures that PROVE I order lots of scopes and that takes so much skill. Suck it Window Lickers!!! Hint.

I would bet pocket money Stick influences various locals and sells them "wares" many fall for his hype.... snakeoil
you know that may be. but any of the optic stuff that I'm unfamiliar with the stick is raved about and I have actually tried has worked very well. and the popularity of the super sniper, certain models athlon and the Arkens. are raved about and praised all over the place. I don't think stick has that much influence for one reason somebody said he's ban on all the websites except here..
now I'm no stick Fanboy we've had our rounds also but it is what it is

My experience with Sticks flavor of the week has been hit and miss, with more misses than hits.... he often brags of pards cutting checks... No way he can have that much junk stored in his shack... Around 2005 I started into long range shooting and building rigs, would go shooting with buddies and they would witness what these builds did at long range and make me offers on the whole package, rifle , scope , load data, drop charts, even dies and components... offers i couldn't refuse. Then I would build another and another, finally turned into work and I told everyone no more.

That sounds like Brother Burns’ line of work
Brother Always, If I didn't know you as an upstanding member of the campfire, I would tend to think you are mocking me ? It was crazy, I wasn't trying to make money, I was just having fun building and testing and learning.... the sales fueled future builds. The demand became nuts, people started contacting me wanting to buy rifles, people beyond my circle of friends. I put a stop to that in a hurry!

Yeah, considering he was calling me an idiot on here for using a 10x SS on my State Arms 50bmg while he was still saying 6x Leupold scopes were the best thing ever for killing, well, I am a little less impressed than you.
Every Leupold part that requires maching is made in the USA. Leupold owns the most CNCs west of the Mississippi.
The volume of lens Leupold requires to meet the demand for these high quality scopes is well beyond any USA supplier.
If one places any value on supporting USA manufacturing then Leupold has a step up on the competition.
My mistake, he doesn’t claim to have visited, just claims to know how many machines Leupold has, and everybody else. He also claims to know exactly which parts are machined in-house. But he doesn’t have any sort of relationship, financial or otherwise.
Gotta hand it to the key players in this thread, you [bleep] losers are not afraid to repeat yourself. Kinda seems like a waste of time but the world is definitely better having you retards on here fighting over nothing rather than out in the world actually doing stuff and engaging with people who have ambitions. LMFAO.
Ps...my SuperTrickler has been released from customs and a local fellow here was silly enough to come around and have a play with my loading gear...it is going to cost him several grand to upgrade (he has the bug).
I haven't worked with one yet. A close friend uses one for his 6PPC and is very happy with it. After some initial debugging, he can now quickly load charges in .1 gr. increments into vials at home and just tune accordingly at a tournament.

Hypothetically, if stick was getting compensated from Athlon, that wouldn't make his assessment of the Helos 2-12 wrong......

Nope, but if he personally attacked everybody that had a problem with one, you'd begin to question his credibility.

Being mistaken is different than lying.

Do you have a relationship with Leupold other than being an end-user?

My point exactly. That's one of the many, many reasons why Burns isn't trusted, liked, or respected on here.
If you woke up in his lardass, lying, no tax paying, no family that will claim you skin, you'd be a bottom feeding, drunken zero too. He knows he's a loser too, which is why he has to repeatedly tell anyone who will listen otherwise. I'm in agreement with you as well drop point.....anyone he associates with or recommends goes immediately to the bottom of the heap.

One of sticks ballwashers makes an appearance....
Calvins been here a long time. Never seen him do any ballwashing.
One does assumes he washes his own balls when needed but it's in private.

Calvin and Stick are buddies.... Calvin has even told me they talk about me.... no b.s.
Al Nyhus can sell his benchrest and buy Fug Stick's backpack/BR!!
Al will never again shoot a group bigger than .2 MOA and thereby RULE the BR World, and Fug Stick will make some good coin selling a cheap pack for the price of a premium rest++.
Can you imagine the look of fear in the eyes of the other competitors as they watch Al stroll up and toss that backpack on the bench?
I'm sure with a dedicated BR rifle, groups will ALWAYS be in the zeros with that backpack.
I wouldn't send a $2000 optic to Burns or any friend of burns. You can't trust anybody Burns vouches for, based on his past business dealings and reputation.
I'm pretty sure the gunsmith in question has a good reputation and excellent equipment to test a scope's tracking.
From what I have read here, it would go right to said gunsmith, so? 🤷
A gunsmith or anybody that tests scopes without firing a shot is incompetent. No if’s, and’s, or but’s about it. Testing without shooting is fine, but if it passes without a shot fired, your an idiot. Plain and simple.

Have you looked at what, and how, he tests the scopes?
He isn't saying it'll hold up to recoil, he is documenting exactly how it tracks. Nothing more, nothing less.
Acting like knowing the scope tracks before popping primers is a bad thing would make one an idiot. Plain and simple. 😉

I agree. Obviously if a scope won't pass the static tracking test, there's no need to go launch 100 rounds down range I wouldn't think.
Honest question for Rick because he’s one person on here who has or has had pretty big corporate sponsorships, do you have any ties with Leupold? ie free scopes, gear etc..?
Burns has a very obvious relationship with Leupold and a vested interest in their reputation. Apparently has some hands on involvement with Maven also?
To be fair, Stick could answer whether he gets any consideration from manufacturers or retailers for putting his opinion out there on certain brands/models.
It would be nice to know who’s opinions are impartial and who’s may or may not be swayed by financial interests.

Someone once posted a statement that went something like... The less you shoot, the better stuff works. It fits this thread to a T.
Don’t tell me you are afraid of driving because tires, and gas cost to much? The do nothing crowd is pathetic.

As noted I have always been clear that I sell Leupold scopes with many of the packages. I wouldn't sell Leupold if the scopes didn't work well.
We laser engrave the Maven custom turrets and I am person friends with the owners and crew. They have a good thing going and the optics offer a lot of quality for the price point due to the direct to consumer model.
I don't speak for Rick C but I don't think he has ever been sponsored by Leupold.
It's obvious that LiL Fish is schillin and he got caught lying with a fake test, not to uplift a brand but to try and destroy a brand.
As noted many times the LDS whiners just want to bash Leupold while the Leupold users don't give 2 [bleep] what's on somebody elses rifle.

Lots of good scopes these days.
maybe I'm misunderstanding the term schilling but please explain to me how he is doing that? what I would consider shilling for a scope would be actually getting paid trying to sell them like many of these YouTubers that test optics and then give you a promotional code to save some money which I'm sure in turn gets them paid a bit also. the best I can tell stick is not in any way there but let me know
As noted I have always been clear that I sell Leupold scopes with many of the packages. I wouldn't sell Leupold if the scopes didn't work well.
your opinion about leupold is completely biased. You make a buck off them, no s hit you act like they are the best scope manufacturer in the world......
Fat slob
Do you get a better deal the more you shill for them?

Dear Fat Slob,
I don't think you have fully thought through your statement.
Does anyone on this site “send the scope for independent verification” vs send back for warranty work?
If yes, who does your “independent verification?”
Or is this just another retarded thing to say that no one actually does?
This isn’t the first time I’ve offered to test someone’s scope. I had a member send me a SWA 6X a few years ago, I tested on my gunsmith’s equipment and sent it back to him with no problems

How many brands/models tested have you been privy to? Anything that was surprising?
What I do have a problem with is that fat sack of crap calling everybody with a broken Leupold a liar.
We must be reading different threads. All I see is someone calling BS on Sticky's testing results on one very specific scope.
Guess you missed the interaction between bubble guts and myself, and my utter disappointment at his not succumbing in his lonely miserable existence...maybe his close family ties saved his diseased malodorous arse. Who knows...maybe he started a new business concern and is feeling excited about his prospects this time.

All brands fail. Some are worthless from the get go.
Manufacturer’s scopes within the same line vary. Some are perfect, some aren’t
That’s why I offered to have the scope impartially tested. The one I posted the evaluation sheet for is perfect, but I think everyone would like to see how this specimen shakes out

For someone who is ruled over by a biden you are a fairly uppity fat slob.
Watching the thread sliding in an attempt to make the offer to test the Leupold scope for free fade away into the pages of yesterday is rather amusing.
It's almost like certain people really, REALLY don't want their little (height, not weight, he's got 4 chins) hero's scope testing methods and results verified.
The best part is the midget himself just ignoring the offer, desperately hoping it all goes away.

I wonder if I sweeten the deal to include a crisp, new $100 bill in the scope box when shipping it back if it tests poorly would get a bite?
Al could post some parts pics and Pointy-head could post some pics of rifles pointing out into canyons

Goalie...if you are basing your scope purchases upon anything Stick or Burns posts you are doing yourself a disservice.
And that pretty much goes for myself and everyone else. Make your own mind up.

The guy just bought a scope that neither LiL Fish nor I recommended.
And another member took his recommendation and bought the same scope.
It's almost like most guys look at results and buy what they want. The SHEEP from Down Under do as they are told.

It's killing me too. After shooting the 6cm with that scope, and seeing the freaking deal going on, I was really, REALLY hoping that Athlon was like Arken or PA with different tiers built in other places (LOW in Japan or Philippines). The only thing I didn't like was the weight, and that isn't a deal breaker at all for the rifle it's going on.
FWIW, the glass on Sticky's favorite Helos 2-12 sucks ass compared to the Ares UHD glass. And I like my (son's 😁) 2-12's......
It's easy for some here to challenge Sticks scope test from a keyboard. Would you do it to his face?
An assumption, maybe. Burns might have an inventory of Leupold scopes to fit to the Wyo Arms rifles that are ordered. I'll suggest Mr Burns to perform static track test on a somewhat statistically relevant number of samples, say 5 each of the same model. Report the results here.
I'm curious if Mr Burns track tests a customers scope if one is ordered with a Wyo Arms rifle. That would be a predelivery quality check. As a firearm manufacturer, there must be some sort of QC process for each firearm where results are documented.
That said, if the subject scope evaluated by Stick were mine, and I found the flaws that this Leupold had, I'd simply send it to Leupold warranty center.

I've probably culled 30 whitetail does the past two years with the Helos/7mm08 combo. It gets you well past legal shooting light, easily. The illumination is superb as well, FYI.

Hell yeah. I would love to watch him shoot perfect .2's off a pack with his Athlon then watch it all fall apart with the he MK5.
But, it's not a hypothetical. There's a very real opportunity to simply see if that exact scope tracks the way it did in Sticky's testing while mounted in a precision jig and tested by a well respected, impartial gunsmith.
That said, if the subject scope evaluated by Stick were mine, and I found the flaws that this Leupold had, I'd simply send it to Leupold warranty center.
The “test” was so flawed that he’s afraid to do so.
The narcotic infested gnome is the only one here I have on ignore, and have done so for years. Enough of his crap gets quoted you can't help but see some of it though. I'd be willing to bet 3/4 of what he says and posts is a fabricated, false, regurgitated lie.
I've probably culled 30 whitetail does the past two years with the Helos/7mm08 combo. It gets you well past legal shooting light, easily. The illumination is superb as well, FYI.
Yeah, the Helos doesn't suck for killing where I hunt either, but it's waaaay outpaced by a lot of scopes at long range.
There's no reason, IMO, to settle when it comes to resolution, clarity and color.

For “0” dollars, I will have it evaluated
But no takers should tell you something
I haven't followed this whole mess, but I don't understand why a guy who hates Leupold so much would run out and buy one in the first place. I guess thick necked dwarf's think differently than normal people.
I assume the Leupold warranty center is impartial.
Well, considering Sticky's own disdain and derision of said company's ability to build any scope that track reliably and repeatedly, why not have someone who is trusted by some of the best long range shooters, someone with awesome, precise, repeatable equipment, test it?????

You might win in a who is the less dumb retard competition with LiL Fish I don't think it's a given.

Are you really this slow? Impartial? Respected? By whom? The “i’m scared to shoot it crowd”? It might be time for another covid booster. Lol

awesome, precise, repeatable equipment
While the photo of that fixture looks nice, it's hearsay to qualify it as awesome, precise, repeatable.
Also, as claimed in a post above, the plumb line used with the fixture is on a buildings wall 35 yards out the window. At best a layman process, not a technique found in a metrology lab.
Could be a great father/son project for you two to perform a TTT test with that new Athlon you mentioned in that thread. You could do it indoors where you two did the sight in.
Thanks for showing everyone how much you pay attention. I'd call you a retard, but it would be an insult to retards.
I pay attention enough to know that respected long range shooters don’t go bankrupt every few years, and re-emerge with a new business name to fleece dumb sheep.

Have you had any first hand experiences or dealings with said gunsmith or his equipment, or just parroting what you read/saw on this thread? Just saying, if you’re promoting this test you should have first hand knowledge that the smith and his equipment are capable. Not saying he is or isn’t, and would assume he is if Rick uses him, but without any personal experience I’d personally not proffer an opinion.
It's not clear who you are drunk yipping at but it's "dip shit".
You may thank me later when you sober up.
Well unlike you, the red faced nyquil and bourbon fiend, I did not consume any intoxicants last night.
I know it's difficult for an addict like yourself to comprehend that some people do not let a substance run their life, but it's true...it's possible.
What I suggest you do is put down the booze and junk food and lose about 200lbs. Then maybe you could start making new memories instead of living in the past. Stop being a fat slob.

I’d be more interested in an honest disclosure of failure rate (if any) after field use, especially with John’s Wyoarms/Leupolds that are intended to be dialed regularly.
………….That said, if the subject scope evaluated by Stick were mine, and I found the flaws that this Leupold had, I'd simply send it to Leupold warranty center.
I would ask for my money back. A scope at that price point should have the level of QC that would prevent it from leaving the building in that condition.
My Leupold I had so much trouble with, I asked for a refund. I asked for a new scope. After trip three, they said they would replace the scope if they found it to be losing zero or tracking inconsistently after actually shooting with it on a rifle. They broke their promise, but did replace the erector system. For my trouble, it came back with ring marks that weren't there when I sent it. In their defense, it does mostly track now.
Have you had any first hand experiences or dealings with said gunsmith or his equipment, or just parroting what you read/saw on this thread? Just saying, if you’re promoting this test you should have first hand knowledge that the smith and his equipment are capable. Not saying he is or isn’t, and would assume he is if Rick uses him, but without any personal experience I’d personally not proffer an opinion.
As well as asking a few acquaintances where one didn't know of him, and two did and heard "good things"
The offer wasn't for the scope to go to an unknown hack, and the obvious attempts to ignore and/or thread slide on the hopes that the offer is forgotten is very telling and amusing.
Lastly, if you want to look at it objectively, the multiple posters here repeating the "if Rick uses him" line like that's a bad thing collectively have less hardware from national long range shooting events.
I'm the end, considering what the initial tester has said and done historically, it seems illogical NOT to do this, especially for free. It wouldn't even void his warranty.
It's easy for some here to challenge Sticks scope test from a keyboard. Would you do it to his face?
An assumption, maybe. Burns might have an inventory of Leupold scopes to fit to the Wyo Arms rifles that are ordered. I'll suggest Mr Burns to perform static track test on a somewhat statistically relevant number of samples, say 5 each of the same model. Report the results here.
I'm curious if Mr Burns track tests a customers scope if one is ordered with a Wyo Arms rifle. That would be a predelivery quality check. As a firearm manufacturer, there must be some sort of QC process for each firearm where results are documented.
That said, if the subject scope evaluated by Stick were mine, and I found the flaws that this Leupold had, I'd simply send it to Leupold warranty center.
We static test every scope before the package is range tested. Leupold, Maven, a few Vortex.
Every single one. Not going to waste bullets on a scope that won't track without recoil.

Failure rate in the field of scopes that passed the static test would be quite interesting. Especially if rounds to failure was known.
The fear of simply confirming results is interesting to see. The "legend" of stick only grows here at the campfire if his results are confirmed accurate using precision tech. Heck, one would think his pards would want him to send the scope to have his results verified.

Due her "means","abilities" and "comprehension",she can't even begin to fhuqking fathom the magnitude,because she's forced to use herself as a barometer. The Insecurities ooze incessantly and are VERY well founded,as she files perpetual Hurt Feeler Reports and vindicates her Professional Victim Status. The only thing she can offer in the first hand,are the sweet satisfactions that are her's,in "living" vicariously. Hint.
Pardon the simplistic fact,that I have 100's of scopes to extrapolate and that not all wares are equal,despite their billing. Hint.
The 18.5# Vudoo,will RELIABLY extract mechanical aptitude. She "gets" to read about such Splendors. Hint.
Her NEED to somehow tie herself to me,is fhuqking HILARIOUS! Reality being,she can't even begin to "do" for herself. Hint.
Wow! What a thread. I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'd be willing to bet that most of the posters in this thread, if they met one another "in real life" and didn't know who each other was on this forum, would probably actually get along with one another and probably even become friends. Maybe that is Pollyanna type thinking and I know it is pure speculation but it's probably a good bet just based on shared interests. Back to the show. Happy New Year everyone.
For those slow on the uptake (burns and his sidekick). Spotting scopes don't have erector systems.....
A matter of semantics perhaps, but spotters require an "image reversal" system which has also be called an "erector system" assuming one wants an image that is not upside down and reversed. It can consist of either prisms or lenses. In a spotter it would be a static system unlike a rifle scope where it can be housed in an "erector tube assembly" which also includes the reticle and is moved to adjust point of impact.
Hell...you puke a MK4 FFP TMR Spotter for the 3rd time and you "win" a new erector assembly,from The Amazingly Inept CLUELESS Fhuqks. Hint.
To be continued. Hint................
Would bitching about a spotter you knew was a pile of crap before you bought it, busting not qualify you for "Amazingly inept clueless fuqk" status? Especially the third time! Bitching is definitely a virtue in the world of heavyweights. John and John Jr need Leupold more than either can admit for different reasons but the same at the exact same time.

If testing scopes in a fixture really worked, the boys on the slide wouldn’t be doing drop tests. Hint.
No Leupold has passed yet. All have been a disaster. Hint.
I would bet money that the scope In question would fail their test.
So you're gonna send it (the scope, not the spotter)to an independent tester for free, as offered, right?

Ya they just happen to be evaluating the only scopes that don't work as they should...
As goalie has stated, it’s retarded to make a general statement about the Reliable functioning of reputable brand of optic or model
This particular scope was owned by a competitive shooting buddy of mine. He had it on a hunting rifle and used it extensively. He had the scope available for sale when another friend needed to scope a hunting rifle for a once in a lifetime hunt. Friend number two bought the scope, had a precision mount performed and evaluation, and it tested perfect. Exact words from the tester were “this is the most perfect scope we’ve ever tested”
Even though that’s true, it would be foolish to generalize that every Mark 5 of the same model functions exactly the same way.
The offer to test the scope at no charge, including shipping both ways, stands, but it seems it won’t be accepted
You probably oughta ask yourself why a generous offer like that would not be accepted.

You should take every one of your rifles out of the safe and drop them from 3 feet, three times at different points of impact onto a padded surface.
You’d have to be an idiot to do that number one. And if you did that and expected not to see some sort of point of impact shift, you’re even more of an idiot.
You’ve reached maximum idiot status if you think the point of impact shifts are due solely to the scope, and not how the scope is attached to the rifle.
You Whining Brokedick Professional Victims,be SURE to get all your Hurt Feeler Reports filed,before The Kchunt Clock starts anew at midnight. Hint.
Pardon World Class wares that exist and Live Fire,extrapolating mechanical "aptitude",with unerring Precision. Not all wares are equal,nor close. Hint.

Missed your personal experience/first hand knowledge of his work? Is he a Leupold dealer? Any affiliation with them etc… not questioning his integrity but things someone should know before automatically coming to the conclusion that he’s impartial. Not sure what Rick having more “long range hardware” has to do with my question, he should, he’s a long range shooting competitor. Rick pushing for his guy to test the scope makes sense, you parroting it from the back row doesn’t.

100% agree, the whole drop test infatuation is completely retarded.
I also agree with your remarks about making general statements about a product based on reports, but at this price point, there’s should be so few leaving the shop with any issues to cause this discussion in the first place.

Whats retarded is testing scopes in a mickey mouse fixture, by a fawking snake oil smith. Only a fool would think an 18” drop on a padded mat is abuse. [bleep] wares don’t fare well, but the scopes that actually work do. Surprise.
Fortunately,Imagination,Pretend and Emoji's are free,so even she can "afford" to "contribute". The number of times she thinks about me a minute,hour,day,week,month and year,GREATLY exceeds the number of rounds she fires. Perhaps someday,she'll even go Outdoors herself?!? Hint.

What happens when the world renowned 6x by the half assed, half defunct SWFA craps out? Just ask those that it happened to. SWFA says they will replace them "when available", which is next to never. Not only that, they only allocate a certain number of said rattletraps for warranty replacement when they offload the cargo container. Some have been waiting 14 months now. So, they are by definition "throw away scopes". That's why those "that know" bought them in bulk. HINT

Yes indeed. I knew the ego that cumaglia has would result in a display of his wares. He's bragged that up here before. Hint.
All said, cumaglias accomplishments from back in the day ARE something to be proud of.
Too bad though that cumaglia doesn't have humility or ability to recognize or acknowledge others skills or accomplishments.
Staying the course and for more R&D of the ilk,I ordered a NightFarce NX8 2.5-20x 50mm F1 Mil-XT. It will obviously DESTROY the glaring piece of fhuqking schit Reupold MK5 3.6-18x,so I'll be curious to see how it do against the 5-20x HD FFP Mil/Mil LitBitch. Hint.
If only the NXS 2.5-10x 42mm were FFP,but alas. Hint.
Does anyone on this site “send the scope for independent verification” vs send back for warranty work?
If yes, who does your “independent verification?”
Or is this just another retarded thing to say that no one actually does?
This isn’t the first time I’ve offered to test someone’s scope. I had a member send me a SWA 6X a few years ago, I tested on my gunsmith’s equipment and sent it back to him with no problems

NF gets a lot of things right, but hunting reticles don't seem to be their strong suit. I live with a few of their SFP's that top out at 10x or so, but it isn't my first choice. If they offered a good hunting MIL FFP in the 2.5-10 or 3-10, I think they'd sell a lot more scopes. Something like the THLR or maybe a derivation of a #4 that has a light wire with center dot or cross, 5 mills windage each side of center and 2 mils down on elevation would cover a wide range of big game hunting. Could quickly bracket game with the heavier posts on low X and also have what's needed for long shots with higher X.
Then again, over the past few years, the NF models I've been looking at and buying are routinely out of stock, which would suggest that they don't have a problem with demand, such as it is.
I knew you were a fisherman, but damn...this time you have outdone yourself.
The Nightforce posts were a waste of good chum when a hole’s this hot.
In my heart I believe John Jr is struggling with the cost of good scopes. With SWFA in the slow motion mode, John Jr is trying to find a suitable replacement. China wasn't the answer, Leupold is good only if you can keep the CROSS out of the X position and Nightmares cost cuts into the donut fund.

Leupolds suck. China is good. Nobody not in Alaska has weather.

I can agree with you on the BLM situation.. fact is it was still an issue. probably would even been a bigger issue if I was there lol
why do you and burns get us off thriving being just such dicks to people though that's the real question and a serious question
I’m a dick to people being dicks to me
Dick
well I guess we got that in common. and to be honest with you I doubt I started this [bleep] show between you Burns and such. but I'm done. I doubt either one of you two boys would treat people with the disrespect and attitude you do on here face to face. I'm trying to start out new here for the new year freaking peace out
people don't have to agree on stuff to just be reasonable but apparently here on the campfire that don't work
They view any negativity towards leupold as a personal attack, because they own (or sell) leupolds. Nobody wants to admit to being a rube, so the mental midgets lash out...it's pretty simple.

well you see that some people maybe.I owe 0 to anybody
farm cows and equipment both farm and industrial are paid for . I don't really have to do another damn thing the rest of my life. so yeah I guess that's losing... it's a sad sack to stay on the internet trying to insult everybody else and hype their self up whenever it's very obvious that they got issues... but thanks for the wishes and maybe your issues will get resolved this next year

I don’t
There are many good scope offerings in the market and I’ve posted as such.
I’ve had great success with Leupolds in the field and in National Matches and don’t think i would have done better with any other product so I stand by my experience
The LDS is weird and downright slanderous
I have two other friends who have won National Matches and killed Big Game at long range with Leupolds

Maybe you could just go straight to calling his grandkid a bastard, again, and really class this thread up. “Minnnesota style”
Yeah, I mean, the word has a meaning, and it fits. Plus, he went after my son, and, well, once you do that, it's on.
Heck, like I've said before, his behavior probably has a lot to do with why he doesn't have a son. Yet, he's on here, after that, calling someone else's son a retard.

They view any negativity towards leupold as a personal attack, because they own (or sell) leupolds. Nobody wants to admit to being a rube, so the mental midgets lash out...it's pretty simple.
How did that elk hunt work out for you? Your wanna be buddy Tactical Travis didn't seem to care.

Here is a picture so you can see what a bull looks like.
Your anger over Rick and I stomping on Tactical Travis and sending her packing is funny.

I'm keeping the super chicken, but due to a mishap on an elk hunt that wouldn't have happened with a scope with either zero stop or locking turret, I'm trying the bushnell. Yes the one time I didn't write my elevation revolution on my dope card, my turret got spun.

Hope it tracks and holds zero.
She should have bought a Leupold. At least she can see what a bull elk looks like through her screen. Poor girl'z never going to get one in her life.

Stay tuned mod! Stick has several more scopes to go..!
Got hung up on Chrome or the weather was less than optimal,so never flogged upon the Trijicon. Initial finger fhuqking was warm/fuzzy,I like the way turrets zero/install,the reticle is friendly and the bitch is daylight BRIGHT. Have the Barkin' ARKEN LPVO to flog,along with a coupla NightFarce and am expecting several others in the Mail as well. Will have a Vudoo Party to shake innards out and will extrapolate from there. Might toss the K&P Dasher spout on my Accuracy International AT,as a secondary introduction to recoil,on the cited innards. Obviously,the MK5 is relegated to rattlin' pom-pom's from the sidelines,though I reckon a guy could club fish with it and it might work there. Hint.
Nice to see The Crying CLUELESS Kchunts flying through Perpetual Hurt Feeler Reports,so as to substantiate their Professional Victims' Status,in this New Year. Hint.
You're just jealous because you can't pay anybody enough to be your friend.
I'm just having fun. I can assure you I have zero jealousy towards the gizard lol.
I will say the bushy lrhs2 has served me well. Two bulls in two seasons, I can't complain. It's alo been reliable even through some spills on the mountain. More than a reupold could withstand I assure you.
What is a "common use impact"? In a hunting situation, a 3 foot drop is not a common use impact. More likely would be bumping the barrel against a blind or tree, or jarring/vibration from travel on an ATV or vehicle. Or even recoil alone if it is a heavier recoiling rifle.
A 3 foot drop in a hunting situation would demand at least a quick sight in check shot, before taking a shot at an animal. No matter what tests had previously been done to the scope and/or rifle.

My rifle took a 3 foot fall this past season. It doesn't happen often but it isn't real rare either. Steep hillside, wet leaves over a wet rock, slick as ice. I checked zero that afternoon and the Leupold was still putting them 2" high at 100, right where it's supposed to.

Can’t beat that with a stick. I’d have never wandered if mine fared as well mostly.
Or we can take the man's word that there is an issue and go about our daily lives in peace...or not.
Actually I wasn’t even thinking about that. I don’t actually have any issues with what the OP did for his test I was just reading this other thread and thought the testing procedure made sense.

He recreates common impacts that have happened to him in use. Rifle riding around uncased in vehicle, rifle knocked over when leaned up against something, rifle on bipod knocked over. Some people argue that the drop tests done by Formidilisus are abusive and not practical, but those same people might not think so in this case.

I’d agree with that. Hunt hard enough and stuff happens.
I was crossing a creek in the dark while elk hunting and broke though the ice into knee deep water,, landing on the rifle with the scope hitting first. Hunted the rest of the day, didn't see any elk, and it was a good thing. When slipping my rifle into a case at the truck I noticed the objective end was bent down toward the barrel. Pulled the bolt out to do a quick crude boresight and that Leupold was right on the money, verified with a couple test shots.
Just kidding, it wasn't even hitting "minute of hillside."
Sent it in to Leupold to see if they could fix it. They told me to buy a new one.

You can send them a box of smashed parts and they will replace the scope, no questions asked. Same not true for many other "warranties"
60' toss and a couple nice bounces off rocks. Hint.
Flipside. My MK5 couldn't make the "trip" from shipping container,to World Class Rifle and HILARIOUSLY took a rifle that shoots in the .2's to 1-1/2" ++. Hint.
Simply return it's original glass and it's back in the .2's,tracking like it has eyes. Too bad Reupold can't get their schit together,in the real World. It's interesting that $300 offerings from others,trump the mechanics of a $2000 Reupold. Hint.

Myriad ways and settings in which to hunt big game. A 3' drop isn't uncommon when carrying a rifle in hand while walking the better part of a day over rough terrain. When snow tracking through blow down infested timber and swamps and/or limb strewn cut overs, I would say that it's not uncommon for most to experience several trips and slips in a day, some of which will eventually result in a rifle drop or impact.

My brother is fifty years of age and has been hunting since he was sixteen, I know he hasn't had any scopes fail as I supply his gear. He shot camels for coin and didn't have any failures then either. .

3' drops probably happen with some regularity to guided/outfitted hunters using horses/stock and scabbards they don't normally use. Probably happens to the regular users of same from time to time as well. Horse/Mule gives a wiggle while the rifle is going in/out of the scabbard and the rifle is out of your hands.
People hunting afoot in any sort of slick conditions. Snow/ice, mud, that nasty-slick bentonite/gumbo, pushing/walking/deer-drives through CRP or Cattails is still common in the prairie states and any of that stuff can wrap around your feet and trip you. Then of course if you add "steep" to "slippery" anywhere you're hunting afoot, drops can, do, and will happen.
Scopes it's let me down at the worst time I've been the same sort of two different Nikon monarch UCC.. the last ones I ever owned there may be a reason they're out of the rifle scope business. they made it right they sent me new ones but I never mounted the new ones.

I've had my fair share of disappointments,by simply taking a NIB Reupold out of it's wrapper and shooting it atop Splendid Wares,hunting for a zero,tracking and repeats to no avail. Hint.
One of the little touted uses of a Collimator such as the Bushnel bore sighter is to note where your cross hairs are on the grid when sighted in. If you have a misfortune while hunting and have the device with you, you can check and see if the scope has moved. Not much extra weight in your pack/side by side.

What kind of hunter wouldn't check zero anyway after one of these "common use" mishaps? If you don't you're an idiot.
Thank you. Exactly my point.
Even if a drop test under controlled conditions didn't result in any POI shift, the next drop or fall could move it 2 feet
I don’t think it’s realistic to recheck zero every time the rifle takes a common knock or after it rides in an ATV, truck or horse in some rough conditions. When I’m backpacking hunting in the mountains for sheep or goats, my rifle gets knocked and bumped on rocks often. It’s almost impossible to avoid and it’s impractical to recheck zero after every incident. At least with some testing beforehand, one can get some confidence that the scope and mounts can handle being used in tough conditions. The tests done in the link I provided are not extreme at all and if a scope and mounts don’t hold up to them, then it probably shouldn’t be trusted on a tough hunt.

^^^^^ This.
There have been hunts I'd run out of ammo if I checked my scope after every fall. Steep slopes, snow, rocks/logs make for more than a few falls. Add before/after daylight and a fall or two is almost guaranteed. Id much rather own a rifle and scope capable of a few bumps and bruiss.
I went to NFLD this last fall, walked something like 72 miles in 6 rainy foggy days, shot my caribou on the last morning. In that 6 days I walked 72 some miles. I had my feet go out from under me many times and probably landed on my butt or back with a slung rifle pretty much every day. You can add in the typical, in and out of boats etc. In my case my shot was dead on on day 6, and I checked zero when I came back (for deer season) and and there was no shift. A rifle/mount/scope should be able to hold zero through that kind of thing. It not practical to shoot to confirm zero every time you bump a rifle or fall on your butt.
I will say a hunt like my caribou hunt probably had about the same amount of scope abuse in it as what I do in a decade of hunting deer.

Their warranty hasn't changed in 60 years. But, if it is for a discontinued scope they can't repair, they will replace it with a comparable current scope, or tell you the value amount you can put towards any scope in their lineup

Which is why it's always so odd - guy sights in, goes deer hunting. Shoots his deer, puts rifle away. Next year, needs to go out and "resight in/check the scope" and adjusts scope some more/again. Why would a scope ever simply change POI while sitting in the safe, yet the routine/practice persists amongst American hunters. "Check the rifle, adjust the rifle" even tho that rifle did nothing but ride the safe for 8 months.

That's my thinking as well. If I have to be scared of every bump or knock I'd never get very far. I take care of the rifles, but snow, rocks and generally hunting in uneven terrain says something is going to give, and it's usually me!

I've never needed to shoot it twice at the same animal.
When you set your goals at minute of paper plate with a sub-$250 POS Walmart special it does make success slightly easier to achieve.

In my experience, those who have yet to have “glory days” and expect to have some, usually compliment and cheer on those who obviously had success.
They also are interested in how accomplished people got there and ask questions to learn.
In my experience, those who constantly criticize and hope for others to fail, are the worst in society

Reupold's puke easily and often. Hint.
Though they are handy for (1) thing. Hint.
Flagship puke. Hint.
Play your cards right though and you'll get your Reupold Spotter returned with a rebuilt erector assembly. Hint.

The facts come back to bite Riar Rarry once again. Look at the repair report. He sent it back with a destroyed main tube, destroyed objective lens assembly, and destroyed eyepiece lens assembly. Yeah, it really "puked". A hammer and some rocks were the vomit. What a friggin lunatic fraud.
I don't like arrogant pricks, that white knight for s hit companies. Like you and your man crush.
I guess that's a "disorder" to some lol
If it is a disorder then I suffer from the same.

Another classic example of ENVY. You feel pain at my good fortune and instead of putting time and effort into getting yourself an elk you attempt to degrade mine to hide your failures.

There is some blood on the left antler point as well. Maybe the same bullet hit both antlers. Lol. Talk about grasping at straws. Some actually think a bullet used for hunting elk wouldn't blow that point right off?
Probably the same that drool over Riar Rarry's every mumbling word and think he is credible. HINT
I have hit the antlers, whether it was from one that glanced off the skull or I hit the antler first, it did not blow it off, but made a nice hole through, and did fracture the point and it would come off if pulled on hard enough.

Imagine a hunter who thinks hard antler bleeds. Now imagine how many deer it would take for a hunter of below average intelligence to kill before he reconsidered his conclusions.

I'm pretty sure your 500 gig copy-past library is one huge "hurt feelers" report, but please, carry on.
I get it's your whole "schtick" but it looks kinda pathetic telling a bunch of middle aged guys who most likely all made more that that picture in one day last week in their retirement accounts (even if they just had simple index funds) that they'd need co-signers to buy a rifle or two.
I've been around a lot of wealthy people. None of them needed to tell me about it.

So true..... Stick is old enough to retire, yet he still has to work.... lol.... and he calls us "broke dick" I see projecting going on, but that's the normal operating procedure for a liberal, broke dick losers

That's a catchy phrase used frequently by those who really know what it means.
AGE AVERAGE RETIREMENT ACCOUNT BALANCE 35-44 $131,950 45-54 $254,720 55-64 $408,420 65-74 $426,070
Average includes the over 50% of people that don't save and don't have a plan. 15% since the early 90's adds up. And a pension or two. And, again, I'm sure I'm nowhere near the top here on the campfire in regards to net worth, even with the house and lake place paid off and no vehicle loans. You may call it a big deal, but I couldn't retire early and live how I want off just a million.
Time in the market, not timing the market has worked for us. I won't ever be rich, but I won't ever need a co-signer to buy a rifle or scope either.

That's great. The fact is 90% of Americans will never have a savings in the "seven figures'.

Not to get philosophical in the optics forum, but he obviously isn't one that figured out how to be happy with what he has and not worry about what everyone else does or doesn't have. Hopefully his hearse will have a trailer hitch......
I hear you on the SS taxes. It's a losing proposition for those who've been contributing most of our lives.
It's depressing to look at your SS statement and the amount you've paid in, then have your CPA wife do the math on what it would be if you'd invested it over time and made just 5% annual.
Ok Goalie and Johnny, enough of this financial investment talk.... Stick thinks Super Sniper scopes are an investment... don't want to burst his bubble.. lol
Poor Stick with his alimony payment and supporting his daughter and grandkids doesn't have any change left over to invest..... Not to mention his shopping addiction.... lol

He buy's stuff. Good for him. I have no idea if he's actually rolling in money or making minimum payments on a credit card, and the reality is it doesn't matter to me at all, so I sincerely hope he's rolling in it, if only for his kid's and grandkid's sake.
It's just funny to see someone so obsessed with having "more" stuff than rando's he doesn't even know on the internet.
Brother Goalie, You have to understand most people don't have two professional incomes to build a nest egg....
I told my wife she should write a book about marriage and finances. We had separate accounts and a joint account for bills from day one. Allotment for my allowance into my account, the rest into the joint. Same for my wife. No need to talk about, let alone argue about money unless you wanted to spend more than your allowance, then you made a plan and agreed on it.
It worked out great, and kept me from getting stupid and in debt back in the years that really matter. That, and the fact that she was adamant that we never have a vehicle loan have been huge.
But, yeah, two good jobs might not make you rich, but it doesn't suck.
Funny part is the biggest braggarts and blowhards and bullscheit artists on the forum, bitching that Sticks a braggart, liar and blowhard. TFF…. Especially now we’re bragging about our net worth. Goalie should quit before he makes burns feel inadequate.
No "surprise!" that a simplistic objective Reupold TTT unhinges Brokedick Crying Kchunts and they are on the spot vindicating their Professional Victim Status,via copious Hurt Feeler Reports. Hint.
A million bucks ain’t scheit in 2024, and the stock market is the last place I’d put all my marbles. Being a male nurse riding your alpha female CPA wife’s apron strings is the closest you can get to being a female short of bleeding one week a month. Sucking hind tit and celebrating your mediocrity seems to be a popular pastime in minnescrotum? LMAO…
Nice shooting. Not familiar with that format. Is that on a standard NRA LR face? Is it one 25 shot string? We usually shoot the more conventional 3x20 here in AZ, sometimes pair fire. Sling, bipod or rest?

Local match in Palmdale. 2 sighters, 25 shots for score. 2 flags 300 and 600 yards.
All about the wind. Density altitude and velocity are fixed numbers. The wind is always the enemy....
p but it would have me ask a question what's more important money in the Bank or assets paid for to leave your children as in land cattle equipment that I'll have no debt on it...
Waiting on pics of long range match wins that involve no sighters, no wind flags, under field conditions
Waiting on pics of long range big or little game taken from field positions
Dafooq? are you retarded RC?
You seem to think you are a superior shooter due to your wind-reading skills.
Superior shooters definitely have the best wind-reading skills
Proof of superior shooting due to great wind-reading skills is usually match wins or long range game taken in atmospheric conditions that are not optimal

Maybe we should do some simple math or English comprehension skills to up your game for this discussion?
You might do better posting pictures.
You might do better having a 4x4 at In N out Burnsy
You seem like you're just wanting to strike out at somebody, anybody.
How is that back issue?
Need someone to talk to?
I’ve had bad back issues. The worst.
I’ve had surgery and have overcome the issues with a strength program I’d be happy to share
I feel for you and anyone who has had to deal with this. I would not wish this on the worst people. But... pain will not kill you. Weak people submit. Seem we are still standing. Endeavor to persevere...
I'm merely debating with you about the wind. Which is always the enemy. Math is fixed which you seem to struggle with.
I said no ill words towards you or Burnsy. You were condescending to me and took my verbiage out of context. Why did you do that Ricky? I did not do that to you....
Carlos Hathcock did not have those fancy computers to do his thinking for him. He and many others had a special skill set. Do you have a special skill set Ricky?

Sounds fun.
Lots to learn.
Brother Burns, we learn until we die. Knowledge is power Amigo.....
You and Ricky have been berating several people on here since the start. I'm just questioning you and Ricky on your knowledge. I sense insecurity amigo.

Assuming you mean me?
The 24hr Campfire is a rough place. I never start the shit but I am very, very good at finishing.
If you have an example that contradicts that premise feel free to post it.
I have a wind story. F-Class nats. Me shooting FTR, wind was mostly from NW, shooting for score east to west. Weather was typical WI early October sunny with huge clouds traveling with the wind. Wind was gusty and confused mostly.
I thought I was ok at using flags and mirage but got lost in the wind. After the shoot was done and at the awards and dinner deal I asked one of the better shooters how he managed the wind as he shot a very good score.
His reply was the clouds. When those big clouds were over the range the wind would lose it's gusty switching and become somewhat steady. Then he'd shoot as fast as the guy in the pits could run his target. If cloud moved on, wind got confused again and time allowed he'd wait for another cloud to come over.

I didn't see that match on the range calendar, but brother is that ever a cool facility. I wish I had ready access to a place like that.

I especially like how, while building up your white knight outrage, you purposefully ignore my actual statement about being middle class though.

Because his rifle/hunting/shooting/photography contributions to this site outweigh the perceived (by some) shortcomings of his presentation? The funny part is there are still WAY more people on here that think Burns is a bigger douchebag, probably because his contributions only serve to feed his ego, much like yours except without the actual hunting accomplishments and shooting skills that John at least has.

You literally made a post bragging about your paid off homes, 7 figure retirement fund and your wife’s profession a few pages back. I sincerely hope you never run out of you, or you’ll never have anything to post about again.

jackwagon musta had sand firmly packed in his vagina by something today to be flailing around like this. Quite a tantrum!
Still no taker on the sincere offer to evaluate the optic and post the results here, whether good or bad

No vagina to pack, been around enough loud mouth, blow hards from miniscrotum to not suffer their B.S.
Anyone going to Las Vegas SHOT show near end of this month?
14349
I will be there.
@ booth 14349. Wyoming Arms.
Memorizing my booth number is a bit creepy but I do live rent free in your head.
Since it’s in Vegas, there’s a Vegas Line and an over/under to bet on
Number of 24hr JB Haters to Visit Booth 14349
Vegas Number is 1
I’ll take the under
😂😂😂
The funny part is you think that’s cool? Businesses are fueled by customers and Burns is purposefully driving away a huge customer base by his on line fugktard posting for no other reason than to indulge his ego. LMAO…

You’re right. We’re over booked for 2024 already and it’s the last year before my kids are off to university and med school respectively so hoping to spend all my free time enjoying life with them and the wife. YMMV. Have fun with the trophy’s.

Game, set, and match.
And neither even have an inkling.
Broken down to simplistic thought, the only reason a human exists is to procreate, which is lost on spinsters and life long bachelors who have nothing but trophy cases to keep them company.

I have to admit it's fun telling retards like you to fuck off. You're the kind of customer nobody wants and I get to say it.
The players get a laugh and we all smile a lot at SHOT.

There’s lots of smiles I’m sure, but they’re laughing at you, not with you. You’re not a player, you’re the punchline and too stupid to realize it.

It’s a lot more difficult to fill 2 trophy cases over 25 years with Big Wins, than to break a rubber in 25 seconds

If that is what you think parenting is then it is a good thing you cannot breed.

He’s talking about procreating, not parenting
Even a dumb fuqk like you can pull it off
You aren't doing yourself any favours.
And apparently it is you that doesn't understand the difference...I am happily married and have a daughter who is the very person I prayed she would be. You should go cuddle burns.
Having a good Gif game is a bit like playing pool. If you have the shots layed out things just go together.
What are the odds I have the next one already planned?
Of course you do...it is all you have. No family, no wife, no health, no business, no future...and not a skerrick of an idea just how sad you appear to the rest of us.

Have you accomplished anything besides procreating?
It might be a good time to post some info since your entire focus is to denigrate those who are accomplished

That's laughable "who are accomplished". Coming from a guy who bought an operational business his father and family built <pizza joint>, never worked a job or had a career other than the pizza joint, shot some animals, shot some scores that awarded him a ribbon. End of accomplishments.

And neither of you can breed...which is indeed a good thing.

Feel free to tell the class about the buisness you bought and have run successfully for decades.
You won't because you can't.
But that ENVY burns deep.

I hold no ENVY. But you do. Of me. And that's understandable. I enjoy that.
Furthermore, your transparent objection to Mr Sticks result of the TTT with that Leupold scope is to gaslight people because you offer Leupold Optics Packages to be included with the Wyoming Arms rifles. You can not allow the brand to be potentially damaged. I get that.
Recall how defensive you were over the AR15 bumpstock debate. You were scared that would impact your AR based rifle platform business model.
Those of us with a record of acomplishment are the focus of ENVY.
Internet Randos are just Random nobodys, like you.
Bwahaha...!
Note the guy with the cowboy hat. He is a politician. He is reaching for your wallet Mr Burns. Mr Burns, did you surprise the politician with an ass cheek squeeze?

Well, to be fair...it is not like burns is inclined to squeezing the arse cheek of a real live women...there is a reason these clowns are bachelors.
How many here are involved enough in the gun business to have/work at a booth at SHOT? Hell of a lot of internet armchair experts but I don't see 52,000 people lining up at armchairs or to gawk at rigged "world class" target tests

Mark wants my support which is worth much more than money.
Do you want to guess how many Governors of Wyoming have been elected in the past 15 years who did not own a Wyoming Arms AR that they paid full price for?

It's like I am seven step ahead and you're just dancing to my tune. How does it feel to be my pet bitch?
The Governor’s carbine will be based on the WY-15 with custom engraving including the Great Seal of Wyoming and his signature. With the billet upper and lower receivers anodized in Type III Matte Sand and the black furniture, not only will the finished firearm have a striking appearance but will also be suitable for use in the harsh environment of the Wyoming outdoors. As a lifelong hunter and shooter, Governor Mead insisted that this firearm be much more than just a simple show piece.
At the heart of the WY-15 is the Patent Pending WYO LOK barrel and titanium barrel nut. The WYO LOK system ensures the WY-15’s phenomenal accuracy and reliability. For the primary sighting system, Governor Mead choose a custom Leupold VX-III 4.5-14 with the JB windage reticle and custom DCT (Drop Compensating Turret). Bruce Pettet, President and CEO of Leupold & Stevens was pleased and stated; “On behalf of our 650 American employees, we would like to thank Wyoming Arms and Governor Mead for choosing Leupold.”
And I even got a Leupold in there. Who saw that coming?

Wyoming is a different kind of State.
Very low population and really right wing.
I agree with you that the USA/world would be a better place if all State Governors had to be vocal fans and users of the AR to be elected.
I’m fine with reducing each state’s population to be comparable based on square miles with Wyoming. I’m also fine with each State having a conservative, God-fearing governor that owns a Wyoming Arms AR….at least until the new conservative states begin manufacturing their own. I’m already on the California Assault Rifle Full-Auto & Suppressor waiting list….
These are my wishes for 2024….but I’m an easy going guy who doesn’t ask much.
Same tired pics you have trotted past us before when you attempt to bask in someone else's fame, the only thing different from now is that in this pic you only have two chins.

The problem with that attitude is you burn bridges. Then, at some point in the future, you might need some credibility with those people. Like, say, when you try to convince them that the nra is doing good work.
It is funnier than fhuqk,how often The Do Nothing Gang thinks about me. Pardon the power of my Words and The Splendid Pixels being FAR too much to resist,as you gals "live" vicariously. Hint.
Instead of all the posing and bluster by some, I would be more interested in seeing the long range fellows loading setups and systems.
I am always interested in learning or viewing something new or different relating to that endeavour, and God knows you lot are more likely to be exposed to gear and practices I have not seen.

Stick, you have pictures of the setup you used to shoot the TTT with? Prone or bench? You shooting those 0.2's consistently off a BR style front rest, bipod, or field expedient rest? Rear bag?

From Precision Rifleman magazine, here's the results and equipment list from the Washington State 600 yard Championship:
Also from Precision Rifleman magazine, the top first page results and equipment list from last years NBRSA Score Nationals:
In both venues, the absolute mechanical reliability of the scopes is paramount to success. In fact, most competitors will sell a gun but never sell a mechanically reliable scope. You can do the math on the percentage of different scope brands used.

Good shootin' -Al
Muh ha ha!!! Those fools! They are opening themselves up to being Absolutely DOMINATED by Fug Stick shooting his SFWA's off his precision backpack!!! They should know better than to use such crappy optics and BRs!
The weather is doing no favors,as we're riding out a Bomb Cyclone at work and I'm hoping to catch a dose of favorable atmospherics at home. Need to beat on the Trijicon and a coupla NightFarces(NXS 2.5-10x MIL-R and NX8 2.5-20x MIL-XT),along with the others cited. Awaiting more Thermal too. Hint.
I couldn't begin to guess how many tens of thousands of come-up solutions I've dumped into Leupie erectors...less issue.............
This one is an Instant Classic,for a multitude of reasons,which fly over most heads.
And then, one day, what had worked for years suddenly stopped working, and the rest is history.......
It isn't that he found something better that's hilarious to me, it's that he had the same over-the-top confidence for years regarding Leupold scopes. He killed tons of game with them. He told anyone here NOT using Leupold 6x scopes that they were idiots. Now he acts like anyone who IS using one is a complete idiot.
FWIW, I don't own any Leupold scopes right now, but it's still hilarious. Because he was either full of it then, when he was dialing "tens of thousands" of come-up solutions into "Leupi erectors" with "less issue", or he's full of it now when he says they simply cannot perform at even minimum standards.
Vid in the link is from 15 years ago. Likely Mr Sticks 24HCF posts Mr Burns is c/p are from similar time period.
Perhaps Leupold scope quality was robust back then.
It appears that Leupold scope quality control and component precision has been impacted by Leupold decision to use components that are inferior for more recent builds.

Pardon the power of my words and a simplistic critique by me,swaying the Market. Unfortunately,not even I can shoot wares until they're Invented and I'm rooting for Reupold,more than they are themselves. Simplistic facts routinely get Brokedick Dreamers Whining,as they quantify their Professional Victim Status by perpetual Hurt Feeler Reports. I reckon it's plum Flattering,how often they think about me,as they "live" vicariously". Hint.
Love the 10-20 year old pics and video extrapolations by all sides. Really brings the room together
The gun I posted is a new build for the 2024 season that I finished up about 30 days ago (December 2023).
The 600 yard report is from the January 2024 Precision Rifleman magazine. The Score Nationals report is from the September 2022 issue of the same magazine.
Unfortunately,not even I can shoot wares until they're Invented
But, you did, in your own words, dial "tens of thousands" of times on Leupold scopes with no issues at all, right? You were not lying about their tracking repeatability or accuracy back then were you?

This scope went from shooting 5 shot 100 yd. groups like this:
To this. The POA was for all shots on the two targets below was the .065" center dot....which is the 'X' at 100 yds.
And then back to normal after being repaired:
Now that's what I like to see when a scope fails. No sneaky shots, no wander....it just blows up. This one had no internal rattles and the w/e adjusters moved, felt and sounded normal.
Pardon the power of my words and a simplistic critique by me,swaying the Market. Unfortunately,not even I can shoot wares until they're Invented and I'm rooting for Reupold,more than they are themselves. Simplistic facts routinely get Brokedick Dreamers Whining,as they quantify their Professional Victim Status by perpetual Hurt Feeler Reports. I reckon it's plum Flattering,how often they think about me,as they "live" vicariously". Hint.
World Class. Hint.
To be continued. Hint................
1827? I’m looking for a 54.18 MSR but I could slum that no problem. Maybe even another of Mark’s but none of the three come around very often, and only know one guy that has all 3.
I have (2) 1827's and am hip on same. The 2nd I drive in a MacaMillion T-hole Sillywet,sorta off brown and green. Hint.
Unfortunately my latest Reupold(MK5 3.6-18x Mil/Mil FFP),couldn't hit an egg at 50yds,upon a World Class Rifle,with 20 Mil's dumped in it's erector. Hint.
Swap scopes and you can do as you please and eek the goody out of the platform. Hint.
Wonder if stick sobered up enough from the holidays to "test" more scopes. Or does the Christmas tree reticle still spin in circles when looking through the glass?
It's a shame even the "world class" rifles can't shoot for $hit in the wrong hands. HINT
Personally, I would have invested more in real estate and/or productive 'equipment' rather than a never ending WORLD CLASS rifle/scope/trinket collection.

Of course we all spend money on guns/ammo/optics but don't assume me to be impressed by the same old new fishing pole or rifle.
Up the game with bigger and more impressive things or quit trying to brag.
I love my toys that go mine and related stuff have a lot. investment-wise I prefer land , cows, equipment, which includes John deere, caterpillar, and komatsu

Imitation remains THE most Sincere form of Flattery,especially from a Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit,Feigning Imaginary Pretend Ignore. Fortunately for her,Emoji's are free,so even she can "afford" to "contribute". Hint.
Hello all! I have a 4.5-14x50 30mm tube Scope from Leupold that has had an issue of adding 2-4MOA of right windage when I adjust the vertical turret.
For background, I used to work 2 doors down from Leupold HQ and brought this scope into them 4 times over the years, by hand, and every time they would bring it back out and say, "It checks out fine. we couldn't find anything"
This made me feel crazy over the years. So after a break with hunting because of work, I jumped back in and started working loads and shooting out to 1200yds and everything in between. With the assumption that everything was fine, I carried on until I went to the range one morning and had nearly zero wind and sure enough I was hitting in that 2-4MOA range, off target.
To give context to my urgency here, I randomly drew a great Utah Mule Deer tag after being diagnosed with cancer last year and I've been pushing my post-surgery recovery to even try and make this hunt happen.
All of that brought me to today. I went to the range and set up a "Tall Target Test". Got in early, plumbed the line, and checked it with a carpenter's level. The first 2 shots hit perfectly for my 200yd zero. I then cranked up 30 MOA and bingo, impact was 2MOA right. I then decided to double check and dialed 30MOA back to my zero and BOOM, 2.5MOA right and additionally 2.5MOA low from my original zero.
How would you handle this situation when I call them Monday? Because now It strongly leans towards the lines of.. 1) You didn't back up your product 2) You basically called me a liar four times to my face. 3) I'm now in a position to hurry up prep for a rare Utah tag with time and energy I don't have.
So to qualify, I am a big NF fan, This week has been a bit rough, Hopefully the NF moderator will be watching!! 7-35 x56 ATACR. Five days before hunt departure and the Zero clutch breaks inside the elevation turret, snaps around the shaft driving elevation and guess what? NF gives me a RMA where I can pay the freight and send the $3200.00 scope back for what they just told me this evening would be a 4 week------ yes 4 week turnaround on the repair, No other help, just have to dig out a vortex to keep from throwing the rifle at the critters. Just wanted to share this experience, It is frustrating as the scope is 9 months old, All my NF stuff is also registered with them. Yahoo!!
I have a vortex gen 2 pst on my 223, that’s served me well and had zero issues with for around two years. Yesterday me and a friend went to do some barricade practice and the scope started randomly shifty exactly .4 mils left and right. It would hold for a few rounds the shift left the a few rounds later shift right always .4 mils and no vertical shift at all. I came home and put another scope on the rifle and shot 3 10 rounds groups with no shift in poi so that ruled out anything but the scope. I’ve never seen a scope go out and only be horizontal and so consistent in its shift.
Just out of curiosity has anyone experienced a optic failure like this before?
I was out training with a local SWAT sniper team today and I had to cut my training short because my S&B crapped out on me....again!!
The problem is that the scope is causing my shots to go all over the place. For example, shooting at 300y and my shots hitting 6 to 7 inches right of POA. Initially it was subtle enough to make me question my shooting. I spent the last month or so scratching my head and second guessing, my body position, my trigger control, my breathing, pretty much everything. Just recently I started to consider the scope as the problem. I'm a solid shooter but I'm not one to blame my gear when I pull a shot or two. It wasn't until today shooting at 300y that it really answered the "what the f**k is going on" question.
This isn't my first issue with their scopes. A couple of years ago I had issues with one of their scopes too. The whole situation was an absolute nightmare.
At this point they agreed to send me a new one, so that's good. But I have to admit I'm really tired of having scope issues every year and half or so.
So I'm curious any other S&B users out there having problems with their scope.
I recently purchased a Fullfield II 2-7x35. The windage adjustment was extremely difficult to turn, i.e. it would not turn using fingers, but required using a quarter. The elevation adjustment would not turn at all! I had to use a pair of pliers in order to get the adjustment to start moving. After operating both adjustments through their full range several times, they are operating easier now - but still nothing like the Burris Signature scope I purchased about two years ago. The quality of the adjustments knobs are also rather poor. They are very soft (deformed when I tried to use a screwdriver to turn them) and look much less refined than those on the Signature series. I think this new Fullfield II may not be holding zero either, as groups are extremely poor now from the muzzleloader I put the scope on. Up until now Burris has been my first choice for a new scope, but this experience is making me have second thoughts. I think I will take this off the gun and send it back for repair.
Another friend recently sent in a nearly new (< 50 rounds fired) Fullfield scope to get target knobs installed. He installed the scope on a shotgun and after about 20 rounds the reticle loosened and started to turn in the scope. This scope has been sent back again to be fixed.
Has anyone else experienced quality issues with Burris scopes recently?
Friends I have put off writing this because I have honestly given this peice of equipment every benefit of the dought that I could. I recently purchased this optic from a company over the internet ,mountted it on my Remington 700p sniper rifle and over the course of 4 trips to the range and roughly 250 rounds the rifle was still unable to be zeroed with this unit.As a matter of fact the best group i managed was about 1 moa,then after pulling the bolt for a brief cleaning the scope was off nearly a foot to the left and low !! Nothing contacted the scope during cleaning,it simply just wont hold ajustment,this senario has been playing out over and over for the last month. So today I put a Leupold mark 4 on it and it zeroed in 6 shoots and is shooting 1/2 moa ,problem fixed. Now heres were I got pissed I contacted the company and told them about the problem with this junk scope I purchased a month ago from them with every intention of ordering a new leupold mark 4 .I wished them to give me a credit towards a scope that worked ,I wasnt asking for full credit I would have settled for 75% of the $500 I just spent with them and gladly paid the resttowards the Leupold. They told me they werent gonna do anything about it and after we had a few words between us offered me $150 for thier scope back, obviously thats all its worth to them but they will sell this junk to Americans for over 3 times that!Needless to say Ill never purchase anything from them again and I would urge others not to buy one of these scopes either becauase they are absolute junk!!! By the way just so people dont think i dont know my way around a rifle , I served my country with the U.S. Army I was with the 3/75th .RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!! HOOAH
Cautionary tale here gents, So a couple of years ago I purchased a sightron s2 4-16x42 scope. It was mounted on a 17HMR rifle carefully. The scope was always a tad sticky on the mag ring but nothing that made me too suspect.
Well over the next couple of years the binding increased gradually to the point where it wouldn't allow me to go to the minimum mag at all. I was convinced by a mate to send it back because this shouldn't be happening. Also the rifle was never dropped or dinged in any way that made me suspicious of damage.
So off it goes back to sightron through my supplier, Just for me to receive that the scope is bent 1/4 inch out of spec and it cannot be repaired and as the scope is no longer made cannot be replaced.
The offer I received was for a STAC scope at a slightly discounted rate (wholesale price most likely) but this scope is 30mm and my rifle has 1 inch rings.
Further emails have basically seen them dust their hands of me.
My suggestion for folks thinking of a sightron is I suggest you find another company with a more flexible and understand warranty.
So, should somebody dig up the many, many many more leupold falure posts as well? Or are you going to continue to prove yourself as a dumphuck? Great hob being a man… not being able to get laid and all. Lol
Please bring back up how aluminum bedding blocks counter affect the thermal expansion of scopes… GD, you are a D ‘bag. #snakeoilsalesman. The only advice you should be giving is how to be fat, obnoxious, and how to avoid women.

What about pulling out and making a pearl necklace?
Oh, no hurt feelings, unlike Stick's cheerleading squad.
I'll be content with my middle-class gear, shooting animals once instead of 8 times, content in the knowledge that I was correct in my assessment that Stick is a troll, as confirmed by his own cheerleading squad.
I can almost hear it: "Stick, Stick, he's our man, if he can't break it, no one can"

And this brings much needed validation into your life? Is that why you’re consumed and unable to walk away?
My fathers Swarovski Z6 was sad, great optically, but it failed a very early life. I don’t think he had two boxes of 30-378 through his weatherby, before the scope [bleep] the bed. It also did get wet, but not really submerged in a river.
Take that however you want. It was mounted in a Near mfg mount, so it wasn’t like he didn’t try.
The sense of entitlement by Brokedick Professional Victims,is never not funnier than fhuqk.

Fortunately for them,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even they can "afford" to "contribute",as they "live" vicariously and FULLY consumed. A herd of Moths heading for The Flame,is always good for a fhuqking laugh. Hint.
Leica,Zeiss and Swaro have yet to make a bullet steering device,worth a fhuqk. Hint...............
Have to agree with Lil'Dick on this one..............
IMO Leica, Zeiss and Swaro probably make THE best Binoculars and Spotters on the market on the other hand will never buy another rifle scope from any of them
Six different brands from Asia, Europe, and USA. I didn't list the brand names, because one failure out of a million reported on the internet, gets regurgitated, then becomes a high failure rate problem. All scopes fail, all scopes break, all scopes wear out over time, they are a mechanical device, and all mechanical devices eventually have problems.
The weather is doing no favors,as we're riding out a Bomb Cyclone at work
That storm was rough. I had to cancel some work plans due to it too and the drifts that it made on my trapline were intense. I spent all day yesterday just getting to my traps and digging them out from under some of those drifts. It was nuts.
Blew right THE fhuqk up here and was rather impressive. Traces hitting now and another Blizzard currently. Hint.
Vudoo Raven Special Run. Ranch contour LW,more forgiving chamber(dirt,grit & schit) and Timney Elite Hunter trigger. Skookum,for certain and awaiting GrandBaby to grow into same. Hint.

It's now proven aluminum bedding blocks give better accuracy and POI stability over varied conditions.
You might want to get with the times and check out the winning rifles in PRS or NRL Hunter field competitions.
All aluminum bedding and lots and lots of Leupolds.
You beclowned yourself by being a dumbshit.
Thanks for playing.

Great job skirting again. Moron! The only thing you have done is run your mouth. So, how does a aluminum bedding block counter-effect the thermal expansion of a scope? You are a lying fat obnoxious, fat POS! You, trickey Rickey, and goilie should get together to talk about how great you think of yourself’s. Lol

I already explained it at lenght 15 years ago with test data.
We all agree time has, once again, proven me a WIZARD.
Aluminum bedding blocks in chasis, like my stock, are the best for stable zeros and accuracy in varied conditions.

Time has proven me a WIZARD. On aluminum bedding block and many other things, such as Leupold scopes.
Aluminum bedding block and Leupold scope. You may gaze in wonder.
This one wandered around like a Saturday night drunkard. All better now, though.
This one went back right out of the box as the parallax couldn't be corrected at any yardage. Again, static testing is too simple not to do. Seems to be fine so far.
None of these have given me any gas.
Sightron's might be pretty good.
Good scopes are where you find them, regardless of brand name. In my experience, if a scope performs well on the static test it's going to do pretty well when it's on the gun. Every company has the mechanics of tracking and holding zero figured out...that's not that hard any more. It's the assembly process and the Q.C. process that makes the difference in what the customer gets.
One of the worst scopes Charley ever evaluated was a Sightron specimen
A variable that maxed at 20X with a Mil Dot reticle
The reticle subtensions were not even close to being Mils. It was so bad, he called Sightron to discuss the issue with them. They just shrugged their shoulders
An acquaintance of mine, Cecil Tucker, did hundreds of "Tucker conversions" on Leupold scopes just like that Al, over a couple of decades. My take was it was akin to the Burris Signature Poli-Lock feature. Not sure if Cecil is still alive or not there in Odessa. Every scope maker/seller has a service department for good reason.

And the materials used. And the implementation design.
I’ve seen scopes track well when tested statically, only to have a 0.3-0.5 MOA of uncertainty in zero retention when tested using live fire.

This was one that Cecil did with the coil spring captured in the standoff. The tension adjusting screw was added later. It might have even gotten a sniff of argon. Unfortunately, Cecil passed in September of 2022.
Common sense tells us that all brands of scopes can have issues....just like vehicles. The brands of scopes that I've had mechanical issues with is the same as the brands that I haven't. For the average consumer, it's the trend of issues that makes a difference when they purchase any product. And how those issues are resolved.
I was picking up some primers and powder at one of my local places the other day. They always have a pretty good selection of scopes on hand....Nightforce, Burris, Leupold, Vortex, etc. I don't know if they were just getting ready to do inventory or had already done it but there was a display scope in the cabinet with this sign on it...obviously not meant to be counted in inventory or have a dollar value attached to it. I quietly mentioned to one of the managers that they might want to reword that sign. When I left, there were a couple others guys looking at it and smiling.
Now, I'm in no way an 'anti Leupold' person..far from it. A few try to twist it, take things out of context or parse little sections of sentences to quote that fits their narrative. But like bad weather, people like that are always around. This could have been on any other brand scope and it would have been just as funny. But you simply can't make up stuff like this!
Live Fire is the only thing I give a schit about,because my scopes are Bullet Steering Devices,not Observation Devices. Hint.
Burris Signature Posi-lign was/is THE Greatest Goat Fhuqk of ALL Time. I suffered a few in 4-16x and 6-24x. It was impossible to zero and then it never held. Turrets on same,only added to the fhuqking HILARITY. Hint.
an etched reticle with a subtension woe,is EASILY corrected and though not ideal(obviously),it certainly isn't a fhuqking Show STOPPER like a compromised erector,that wanders without rhyme or reason and is typical Reupold. Hint.
I drive a Sightron 6-24x FFP etched Mil/Mil on a Sucko 6PPC and it is unerring in it's tracking and repeats. The reticle jives the erector. Reupold don't. Hint.
Nothing is fhuqking funnier than Whining Brokedick Professional Victims,submitting their Hurt Feeler Reports,in regards to things they are fhuqking CLUELESS about. Pardon The Old War Horse being of a lineage,wayyyyy beyond your "abilities","means" and "comprehension". Fortunately for Whining Brokedicks,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute",while "living" vicariously. Hint.

This perfectly sums up the value of your opinion regarding rifles and scopes. If you haven't used it, you just lie and say its "dog schit [bleep] junk" all the while saying you "shoot them all." You know what opinion without knowledge is?

Al, I have had a few scopes with a Cecil Tucker conversion and they worked very well..........then I met Bob Brackney of Wickenburg, Az. he took it to a different level. internally locked a Leupold scope and went to Starrett external micrometer adjustments. I have two of them that I will never part with. Absolutely Benchrest only but really cool. You ever try one of those ??????

I don't have one but a couple of shooters I know do. Like you, they love 'em. Bob helped me out recently with some info and pieces on a McMillan/Brackney BR action I'm rebuilding for a friend. First class gentleman all the way.
So 1 out of 2 they’ve tested was GTG. The other? Not so much. 50/50 chance. For a scope in the >$1,000 bucks class, I don’t like the odds.
Buy another Athalon.
How did those rate on Formy's drop tests. Nobody cares about your buisness.
I don’t buy Chinese glass (but at least know how to spell Athlon) so wouldn’t bother reading reviews on any. Wouldn’t dream of dropping coin on a Leupold anymore either, for any reason. Have a 50% off credit on any scope right now from Leupold and just bought 3 scopes in the last month, none of which are Chinese or Leupold.
What do you have to add? Pot, meet kettle.. you think your special because your parents paid for you to shoot competitively?!?!? Most people your age that are not in a relationship have mental disorder. That’s a fact! Lol

Man a few here seem obsessed with others appearances and weight, and insulting based on those assumptions, which equals less credibility than all others combined, and offering zero substance to relevant topics at hand at the same time. The 1st Amendment is wild.

Apparently you don't know burns, nor do you seem to care that he and his boyfriend started all this crap.
The pathetic disease-ridden piece of filth brings it on himself.

Do you have to ask permission from someone who wields power over you if it’s ok to buy ammunition or use your firearms? Or did you have to turn them in?
How pathetic is it that a dude with an anonymous handle on the fire in the first place, is such a twat that he has to go to the next level of pussification and create another, fake, profile to shiittalk?
Great counter, the fat dumphuk has still not addressed the questio. I, SD or not, speaks the truth. You be you. You act like an entitled dipscidt. … prove me wrong. Whoo paid for your shooting career, dumphug? When was the last time you got laid? minus having to pay for it? You are a fuggin loser!

Already did. Whole thread on the subject.
You can read it.
But you may still reap the rewards of a properly bedded aluminum bedding block rifle if only by viewing the spendor. Thermal Stability is a thing. Magic.

No rick , I don't...I also don't require permits to hunt any specific species unless it is on government land.
I do have to have a licence and a permit to purchase if I wish to purchase a new firearm, a licence is also required to purchase ammo or components.
Bit like your nics and the licencing of suppressors.

Like burns, you ignore what you do not wish to see.
If you wish to make an idiot of yourself that is on you.
Interesting weapon for turkey hunting. Interesting outfit. Not even any call.
I guess it is easier shooting unware birds at long range while they aren't even concerned with your presence, than it is to locate birds and call them in to shotgun distance.

You really think the US government is not keeping track of the guns you buy? Every transaction on a debit card is recorded and ammo purchased is labeled and cataloged.
Just updated your account to in a relationship, John needs that approval.
I'm VERY "surprised" that nobody has actually shot a MK5 3.6-18x FFP Mil/Mil TTT with Live Fire,except me. Their amazingly compromised erectors will take a World Class Rifle that Agg's in the .2's,all the way to 1-1/2" ++,with a modest erector correction. Hint.
Simply set a good scope aboard same and it returns to it's former Glory. Hint.
Burris Extreme Signatures. They have nice surface area,rather good fasteners,live centers and accept eccentrics to add inclination. Scope pictured,is less than a Mil from bottom of erector travel and that is a foolproof zero stop,which allows max latitude. Hint.
Sadly,Reupold has schit erector travel in conjunction with it's zero stop,a Goat Fhuqk sized tube(35mm) and the odd 10.5 Mil per revolution turret. All could be pressed into service,if it's erector was sound,but nothing could be further from the truth. I reckon it'll be a great Conversation Piece and Loaner Donor for Dissenters. Hint.
I grew up doing same,just as everyone else did. I'm also prone to dial past and comeback to a given come-up,to hopefully bolster Reupold Erector "Odds". Hint.
Few things are fhuqking funnier,than a Reupold TTT,even with their Flagship(s). Hint.

I drive a Sightron 6-24x FFP etched Mil/Mil on a Sucko 6PPC and it is unerring in it's tracking and repeats. The reticle jives the erector. Reupold don't. Hint.
WOW, you finally admitted you had your head up your butt about Sightron! Let's see, how did you describe them before?

This perfectly sums up the value of your opinion regarding rifles and scopes. If you haven't used it, you just lie and say its "dog schit [bleep] junk" all the while saying you "shoot them all." You know what opinion without knowledge is?
IGNORANCE. That term sure describes you, "Often wrong, never unsure!"
If there's anything else regarding rifles, scopes, etc I can teach you, don't be afraid to ask!
I have had multiple erector failures with Leupolds over the decades. One particular failure still has me laughing at Leupold.
The scope didn't track properly. I called Leupold and asked a few questions. Was told I could send it in but first try this fix: "rotate the elevation and windage turrets lock to lock at least four times to redistribute the grease". It worked and the scope once again had repeatable erector movements. That was the last straw. I sold it and all my other Leupolds.
Life is too short to hunt with a scope that requires grease redistribution. Still laughing......
In The Day,erector come-ups were exceedingly modest,because LRF's hadn't hit the scene. Reupold could very often arrange same,until the advent of LRF's and better projectiles,though Reupold sat stagnant on their laurels. This did them NO favors and is a concise recipe for Flagship erector FAILURE,as per my experience. Bless their hearts for trying though. Hint.

The late Dick Thomas of Premier Reticle took the time to educate me on the hysteresis of scopes tracking system. In a nutshell, adjustable mechanical devices want to 'stay' where they're at....a bit of 'memory' in the system. Dick got around that on the Leupolds he tweaked by installing two 7 lb. oppossed bias springs internally to replace the single 11 lb. leaf style bias spring.Even in a scope that sees little change in w/e adjustments, it's a good idea to run the adjusters to both limits occasionally. If you look at high tech lab quality measuring instruments, that's a routine part of their Q.C. process.
Many of the Competiton series 35X, 40X and 45X scopes were returned because of the same issue. Leupold added a second bias spring.
It wasn't just Leupold that has/had these issues. A B&L I had was just miserable until it got Tuckerized.
This is one of my Hunter Benchrest class guns from 2012-2013. The gold ring on the front of the 6X A.O. scopes isn't as important as the gold Premier Reticle decal on the back.
Good stuff Al. I remember you commenting on exercising mechanical adjustments in the past. Since then I use that process on my Warner rear match sights a couple of times a year. Keeps them tracking at a constant 0.0026" per click per dial indicator checks.
I know Leupold added a second bias spring in my favorite 2.5-8 scope when they installed the MOA CDS turret.

Pre-flight and pre-mounting,I ran the MK5's turrets to/fro multiple times,less zero stop engagement and upon the windage too. Hint.
My World Class Vudoo would shoot representative Agg clusters,prior to erector movement,with the MK5 aboard. Add erector input and ALL bets were off. Nothing was lineal. I've seen this MANY times before,ala Reupold. Hint.
I've never done anything but fhuqking FLOG on MQ turrets and they could give a flying fhuqk about abuse,while trumping Velvet Glove Reupolds by HILARIOUS margin. Hint.

I wouldn't think in the grand scheme of manufacturing challenges that distributing grease would be a difficult feat. I am a goddam idiot when it comes to all things mechanical, and I know how to distribute grease when I assemble something.

More on hysteresis- by way of background and why arguing about scopes and tuners needs a "grain of salt". Mechanical and electrical design folks will try to linearize a problem to obtain a workable solution by making either the times or the physical dimensions small so the other variables can by worked with. Examples are the "slop" in gears (erectors) or the oscillations in electrical systems. Chemical reactions have many their own, and are part of the equilibrium process. The non-linear analysis of this process is called bifurcation, the lay word is chaos. Chaos is very ordered on different levels and which are called basins of attraction. Most folks confuse it with Brownian Random Motion which is a different thing. These basins are the slop in the gears, referred to by ALs post. All of these things are 3rd order equations and will have bifurcations at different and smaller iterations of the variables. (All this assumes no mistakes of the shooters part). It has nothing to do with long range hunting, type or brand of the optical device or the character using the device-- at some level it will bifurcate. Guns have two systems (optical and the firing process). Trying to find the "happy" spot between the two systems completely ignores the interaction of random and systematic errors in the analysis. Currently work is being done on structured barrels, that delve into the small iterations of the variables. Typically the "vibrations" talked about on gun forums are some type of harmonic waves, dealing with wave speeds in the compression front, and speed difference in solid materials. Hopefully they will get around to seeing the firing process is a Bessel function, and the statistical analysis is Poisson , not Bell curve. If the perfect scope was out there, it would be the only one, everyone would know it, Nobody (Sticks old internet handle) would buy the other stuff. (sorry couldn't resist the double negative)

Exercising the turrets is a thing.
It surely is a thing.
New scopes get run a few times end to end on elevation and windage prior to static testing.
If a scope has been sitting for a while I will do a left 1/2 rotation from zero and then right 1/2 rotation from zero and then back to zero moving the erector toward the spring.
Elevation gets 2 rotations up and then back to zero moving the erector toward the spring.
Lots of dialing keeps everything moving smoothly just like a precision mill/lathe.

I've simply bought,shot,got 100's of scopes and have less than zero Emotional attachment. Professional Victims,could never even begin to fathom that magnitude. Hint.
Pardon my simply having shot it all and then some and being afforded the luxuries,of not being forced to guess. A Reupold MK5 TTT will never happen,simply because they haven't the metal and that Pun,be intended. Hint.
Ceteris Paribus -- coil springs have better hysteresis curves than leaf. IIRC Weaver, may Bushnell's advertising 10-15 years ago, specifically stated that they had two coil springs, Also I think NF started up about that time and said this about NXS. At that time lots of internet traffic about only using one leaf spring at the bisect angle of the erector angles. One of the reasons IOR fell out of favor.

Yes, harmonic vibrations are something that effects even a scope…
These are good examples of too large of a bifurcation interval linear analysis. As a result the barrel is represented as a sinusoidal wave. The longitudinal sound ways, going thru steel, have already exited the barrel. The bullet has already exited the barrel for the sine wave (and it is not a sine wave its a Bessel function) to be in the calculations as also the recoil moment.
The human eye will average these results, and the nervous system is too slow to react to it. The interval of observation should be at the Pixel size at least, maybe even Angstrom level.
When Stick was a Nobody he was invited to show his stuff to an all expense Match put on by Lowlight of Snipershide, about 10-15 years ago. He declined and as I recall said, "What do I need to prove, I can shoot anytime here I want."
This time Mr. Burns was invited to show his stuff at an expense paid shoot by a member of Campfire, and replied. "What do I need to prove, I can shoot anytime here I want".
Stick does sum up the advances and reason for in shooting over the last 10 rears. Laser Range Finders--- changed everything
Now if I can figure out he shoots more than one rifle at a time!
What rock have you been living under that LRFs just came on the scene 10 years ago?

LOL. I already was invited and did show my stuff in front of many 24hr CF members.
Fed cows, cleaned up some blown down trees, pulled the altenator from my pickup and had a couple beers with my brother who is flying back to Vegas right now. Didn't make the shoot but at least I have a little better excuse than sleepy Sheridan.....laughin'
Very good shooting John, nice to meet ya... see ya at the next one.
I'll get more pics and some video posted up when I have more time... soon.. I promise !

I do not recall how many minutes off we held at that distance as I had never before shot that far,nor used that style of scope.But I was astonished just how far off you had to hold to hit.
My impression was that doping the conditions was far more difficult than squeezing the trigger (the easy part).I can understand why many LR shooters work in teams.

First LRF ever saw was at Dugway long time ago First one I could afford was a Leo---- pos. Still got/use Swarovski- don't think they make them Present ones with build in Ballistic packages - really nice, if you don't mind playing with telephones/elecronics etc. instead of shooting

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Say what you will, one of the "blowhards" has backed it up in front of a crowd of 24HC members. The other, not so much.

I worked in the Medical community for 40 years, Stick uses the term Broke Dick. Really confusing to me. There is a medical condition Called BrokeDick, and the incidence has increased in the last 10 years from implants and use of Viagra type drugs. Occurs when intercourse is done from impossible angles and the implant breaks. Frequency of occurrence is higher in non-hetero relationships. How does he know and which way is he using it? Just stating my confusion- this is not an ad hominem implication
You shouldn't get down on Burns for wanting to make a buck, its the American way. Looks like he's doing better since the trailer days at W-K in Rock Springs Wyoming when he was first starting out. no such thing as bad advertising, and he's getting it free --- here. Pretty good if you ask me.
Love it when people show pictures of dead big game animals,, try that without a tag and see what happens. I used to hunt the Yellowstone area, especially Parkway during the 60s, didn't have cell phones then, no pictures and no ATVs. Lots of evenings spent betting and drinking at the Cowboy bar on who could get the Elk to bugle back from the refuge.

It can also happen when a straight guy has his ho bent over giving full length full power thrusts, accidentally pulls out, then inadvertently slams back in to the tweenerular region.

no doubt, just that the incidence has increased significantly

McWhorter makes a pretty good one......
Sako doesn't do too bad either.....integral aluminum chassis and all......
As a businessowner, you're advertising even when you're not intending to advertise. Figure that one out.

This time Mr. Burns was invited to show his stuff at an expense paid shoot by a member of Campfire, and replied. "What do I need to prove, I can shoot anytime here I want".
LOL. I already was invited and did show my stuff in front of many 24hr CF members.
Fed cows, cleaned up some blown down trees, pulled the altenator from my pickup and had a couple beers with my brother who is flying back to Vegas right now. Didn't make the shoot but at least I have a little better excuse than sleepy Sheridan.....laughin'
Very good shooting John, nice to meet ya... see ya at the next one.
I'll get more pics and some video posted up when I have more time... soon.. I promise !

It was a 264 Win Mag shooting the 140 VLD's. Very solid platform !

John made all the calculations and scope adjustments and all I did was shoot.Both my friend and I were able to hit once the wind was doped correctly.
I do not recall how many minutes off we held at that distance as I had never before shot that far,nor used that style of scope.But I was astonished just how far off you had to hold to hit.
My impression was that doping the conditions was far more difficult than squeezing the trigger (the easy part).I can understand why many LR shooters work in teams.
In 2009 I purchased a VX-II 4-12x40mm Adj. Objective. I placed it on my wife's 7mm Remington Magnum. After working up a load that shot consistent at 100 yards, I decided to start testing MOA adjustments out to 600 yards. Well, I never got that far as I figured out the last 18-24 MOA Elevation Adjustment was not functioning properly. The elevation adjustment worked fine until I got to the top end of the adjustment range, again the last 18-24 MOA.
I decided to send the scope back a few weeks before my wife's elk hunt and it showed up just before opening day, but I had already put another scope on on the gun. We zeroed the gun at 300 yards with the replacement scope and called her good. My wife ended up killing a bull a 400 yards with some old fashion hold over. The gun and load shoot VERY well for an almost factory model 700.
Last year I placed the VX-II back on the rifle and put gun away without shooting it. This year my wife drew two great tags and my 13 year old cousin drew an early rifle bull tag. I took the gun out last week and zeroed it at 100. I called it good for the day.
Tonight I took my cousin out and we shot a great cold barrel group at 100. I decided to check MOA adjustments at 300 yards. I dialed the turret up 8 MOA and settled in... 10" low. I settled in again... 8" low! WTH! Dialed up 4 more MOA, so now 12 MOA! 8"low! Dialed another 3 MOA! Now 15 MOA! 8"low! Great group at 300 yards, but 8" low! Great group!
I pulled the target back to 100 yards. With 15 MOA still dialed up, I shot 1" High. I cleaned the gun and put 2 more shots a 1/2" high. I then clicked it back to zero and could see I had no elevation changes the last 18 MOA. Again!!!
Any Suggestions? Anyone ever had this problem?
I am calling Leupold on Monday and going to request a brand NEW scope. We have had this scope for 3 years and it hasn't even been on a hunt.
I couldn't find that GIF anywhere, so I had to make it myself just for this thread. No doubt it's already been added to the GIF library of Burns.
And I am enjoying this thread. All Stick has to go is make some inane comment, and it's like swatting a bee hive.
Would you say it's more or less exciting than looking up people's tax records?
You never did mention the mortgage amount on the plane next door.
GFY
Is that still what you are telling yourself so you can sleep at night? I never did, nor did I need to, nor could I have, "look up people's tax records." But if that makes you feel better about getting caught in a lie, well, whatever helps you sleep.
The lesson to all that was this: if you are going to call someone's daughter, who wasn't even part of the cponversation, a "slut," call a person's grandchild a "bastard," call them both a wellfare case, then post a picture of Stick's private residence and make fun of it, while simultaneously posting a picture of yourself in front of someone elses house while intimating it was your own, then it might have been wise to have remembered you actually did post a truthful picture of your property on this forum in the past, and that you actually posted the name of the lake you live on. Not too hard to look at that on Google maps and see your house was right next to to the one you werer claiming as yours. Once you saw your lie was busted, you cracked.
That thread is still available on this forum if they want to see it.

Why would I give a fugg about your neighbor? All I showed, actually you admitted, that was the house wasn't yours after all.
You never did say why you claimed your neighbor's house as your own to begin with. I have to admit I did find it ironic you would denigrate Big Stick's house then suggest the opulent home next to yours was your own, in what appeared to be some effort to embarass him.

The house is fine, very modest.... just not what you would expect from Mr. Doctors wages.... everyone else is "brokedick" And he insinuated he shoots from his front porch, to 1200yds or whatever, yet he lives in town.... His imagination pretend got the best of him.... lmao

I sure learned a lot on this trip. In those winds I would have never even went out to shoot normally. Between what I learned on this trip and the experience I gained, I now know that I can successfully make long range hits in those conditions. This trip was a great learning experience for all!

Guessing but I would say the barrel seemed like a #4 (?).
But no mistaking it was made to hit stuff at long range, and it did. I think the action was a McMillan.Comfy to shoot as well.....I found new respect for the 264 Win Mag that day

Pity is an emotion which occurs when a person has a greater than another's quality, skill, achievement, or possession and wishes that the other could achieve it.
Post up your “test results” dumphug! You show how heat affects poi, but not how “aluminum bedding blocks counteract the thermal expansion of scopes”, as you claimed. You are a lying, POS, obnoxious D’bag!!!#snakeoilsalesman!!!
You can’t back up your claims because they are BS! Prove it Wiztard! You are a liar! You are a fat, lying, obnoxious D’bag! Tricky Rickey, please keep trying to prove how relevant you are… it is comical. You are a D’bag as well. Lol

This dumpy, Gomer looking f uck had the audacity to threaten people Lol lol lol. Dude couldn't get his sausage fingers inside a trigger guard lol lol lol
What a pathetic fat retard. Keep living off the past 3 chins, it's all you got and all you'll ever have.....besides high BP and diabetes.

I sure learned a lot on this trip. In those winds I would have never even went out to shoot normally. Between what I learned on this trip and the experience I gained, I now know that I can successfully make long range hits in those conditions. This trip was a great learning experience for all!

bx John is for real and a great guy to boot....he was good enough to teach me a bit about hitting rocks at 1200 yards;not in Montana but in Wyoming last October....and that takes some doing.
I have seen John shoot,and have no doubt about his ability with a rifle

The weather did indeed lay right the fhuqk down and conditions were rather exceptional. Hint.
So I set up a TTT at 50yds,hung a plum line,traced same and marked it in 5 Mil increments to 20 Mil's. 23 Mil's is all that remained after the 50yd zero. Zero'd turrets and went to shooting TTT. Prior to the first shot and for every one there after,I ran erector up until it hit 23 Mil's,returned to zero stop,whirled zoom selector high to low and then put in the requisite correction. Obviously aiming at the same point,for every shot. Hint.
Pretty fhuqking FUNNY,for a $2000 MSRP scope! Hint.
After doing same for (5) rounds at each erector setting,it was more than obvious that said scope was/is a steaming pile of fhuqking schit. Hint.
Those simplistic Facts hurt Tender Feelers and Professional Victims,who have a financial interest in Snake Oil Sales. Hint.
Doubly so,when a GOOD scope is returned to the World Class Platform and it behaves in accordance. Hint.
"Surprisingly" nary one of these Brokedicks Crying Kchunts has fired a Live Round,nor can they afford an example of same. Hint.
Feel free to quantify how many times a day,you think about me and why noone ever thinks of you. Then explain why my words are so much more powerful than your's,as you add stolen pics and emoji's to your Hurt Feeler Reports. Hint.
To be continued. Hint....................
What in the hell is a hurt feelers report? Why do you think anyone would give enough of a fùck to turn you in. "RND" to help everyone not asking. LOL you gotta see the irony.
John and his boyfriend seem to fight you for the king of nothing title but it is still a tie.

I am slightly curious as to why those here with the same scope haven't run the same test to show results different.

It's would be hard to run the same test because sourcing a 3 MOA rifle is not exactly easy, but Congratulations to LiL Fish.
Next thing is that Tall Target Tests are a waste of time and ammo when one has the tooling/fixtures/collimator to static test the tracking and then the range facilities to shoot at long range.
It's obvious to everyone with a brain LiL Fish faked his testing.
I have extensive time using the MK 5 3.6-18X44 and it tracks perfectly in both static and live fire.
I litterally just put it back on the collimator after a few years of field use and it's still spot on. Saw that comin.
Holds zero. Tracks perfectly. FFP is not my favorite thing.

They KNOW better,than to try. Reupold is the wrong tool,for that job. Hint.
Funny, I have a Leupold LPS, which at one time was one of their better lines, mounted on a very accurate 270wsm.
Needed to tweak the zero on it. 15 phfuucking rounds later, I got it where I wanted.
Got to the point where I adjusted, shot 1, then shot again just to see where it settled.
Never again will I buy anything Leupold.
Phfuuck that.
Good lord amighty, what a gut wrenching ordeal that must have been ! I can't imagine the emotional scars it must have left. Are you sure you're OK ? Maybe some counseling would do you some good.
Right before bed, have 8 shots of whiskey. Set your alarm for 10 minutes after sunup. Wake up with a bangin hangover, scribble a target on paper, and try to mount the scope somewhat level, even though there are 3 sets of crosshairs all spinning. Shoot as quick as possible to get done. Throw the rifle on the ground 6 times because you were forced to actually fire a primer (albeit just rimfire). Every shot feels like a boxing glove to the head. Pass out, wake up three hours later, and wonder how Leupold could have sent you a damaged scope. Try to remember which bender caused the third demise of the spotting scope sent back in pieces. Pass out again, and then post the "results" on the forum for the ignorant to drool over.

Burns - I don't know you beyond this site. Why, in your words, would Stick or anyone else spend this kind of time to say a product is a POS? I cannot find reference to him being compensated by a competitor so I don't see a financial gain. Is it simply to troll you and "your team"? I'm curious as to your thoughts.
There is a fair amount of commitment from both of you on this thread. Especially when it comes to the memes. I'm wondering what the upside is in documenting whether a particular scope works, or doesn't, unless someone is compensated for doing so.

Rick posted his report card. As long as there’s no recoil (up to and including .22lr) they apparently work great.

As always, follow the money. At least one of the rump rangers is being compensated by Leupold.....

Paying internet influencers is a thing.
Love her or hate her LiL Fish has some level of influence. A few here would get in a bidding contest over a zip lock bag filled with LiL Fish shits.
I sell Leupold on my rifles so I have a vested interest in stopping out right lying liars. Lots of good scopes including Leupold.
LiL Fish has been given a chance to have a 3rd party test the Leupold MK 5 that caused her such struggles.
She has zero interest in letting anyone else have a look at that MK 5. Because she faked the entire test.
Athalon has a rep of paying influencers but so to many others. It's a way to advertise products.
LiL Fish got way out over her skies on this one. It's one thing to demo good results and another to lie to do damage to established brands.
This has long legs and the story is far from done.

So long as a scope stays zero'd it'll do what I need it to. I know how to hunt and have absolutely no need to dial..

No wonder you revel in the failure of others.

LOL.
I am not the guy posting pictures of unsafe gun handling by a kid who should have been taught how to handle a firearm long before some dumbazz handed her 2 for a silly photo OP.
Go hide behind your daughters good grades and success. Lord knows you look stupid talking about your rifles, optics, and shooting on shooting forum.

Been working my ass off at our club designing and setting targets on two 100 bird Sporting Clays courses
Still no tracking numbers from Alaska
Got a call and talked to Dogshooter, who used to reside in Colorado who’s been following the thread. He’s got a Mark 5 3.6-18 44mm HD on his bench and offered to send it for testing. Then posting the results here of his specimen.
I would rather test the scope in question, but will take him up on his offer and post results if the board would like more info on another scope of the same

Rando Puzzies are subject to scorn.

Yet you fail to recognise that you are almost universally viewed with disdain.
Really?
We have to do this again?

Surprising how that bullet can fly down there,being blown so consistently over great distance, shot after shot,if conditions stay consistent..
Big "if", I know

What's more pathetic than an insecure putz keeping a file of people who have patted him on the back, so he can post it immediately to try and maintain some semblance of relevance?
And like his pictures, those post are probably 15 years old.

WAY back in the day John Burns and I used to comment on how a few of us, including Rick (rcamuglia), use our real names and don't hide behind screen names to throw stones.
Pull on your man panties and keep throwing spitballs behind your screen names.
That makes what you say so much more valid.
And to be fair there are more than a few 24hr CampFire members who are known quantities under their well known screen names.

I’ve owned “pretty “ rifles from some pretty good and known makers. They don’t age well if you hunt them hard. Makes no sense for me to buy nice wood . I rather take a rattle can after a hunt to recondition if needed.

Pleased for you, we don't all have to like the same thing. For instance, I have a weakness for 50's era Brno rifles...and hopefully no one else likes them and the price goes down.
I also personally think the stuff burns hawks is crap, but am adult enough to recognise that others do not agree. Which is fine.
Burns is probably "sleeping it off", snoring soundly on the cot in the back room. Ricky is either trolling at the gym, or meeting with the exterminator.

LiL Fish has a Vudoo that shoots 3 MOA. They have to be loving this thread.
Tell us LiL Fish, where did you source this MK 5. Is it a ChiCom knock off?

Fed cows, cleaned up some blown down trees, pulled the altenator from my pickup and had a couple beers with my brother who is flying back to Vegas right now. Didn't make the shoot but at least I have a little better excuse than sleepy Sheridan.....laughin'
Very good shooting John, nice to meet ya... see ya at the next one.

Just shootin don't mean [bleep], my grandma can do that, it just takes her longer.
It's was not just shootin, my LiL Internet Rando without picture, was it?
It was hitting at LR in extreme conditions. A real test of Optic and rifle.

With the help of the experienced people and the quality of our equipment, everyone including the beginners were making some great hits at distance in those terrible conditions.
I sure learned a lot on this trip. In those winds I would have never even went out to shoot normally. Between what I learned on this trip and the experience I gained, I now know that I can successfully make long range hits in those conditions. This trip was a great learning experience for all!

I have seen John shoot,and have no doubt about his ability with a rifle

Guessing but I would say the barrel seemed like a #4 (?).
But no mistaking it was made to hit stuff at long range, and it did. I think the action was a McMillan.Comfy to shoot as well.....I found new respect for the 264 Win Mag that day

So old pics and a shoot from what? 13 years ago? Maybe something from 2023 that shows the rifles and scopes, not to mention the shooter still have the same abilities.
I know I am a little shakier than when I shot in competitions in my 20’s and 30’s, but I also dropped weight over the years and am in better shape physically, so where are some modern pics?

For whatever reasons,all the storms and mechanical woes missed me. Stranded travelers everywhere and I'm happy to not be in that boat. A fair sized pile of Mail,but I don't see any NightFarces,though I reckon they are likely in Sister's crummy. New Accuracy International AT-X on the couch and I'll either load for it tonight,or in the morning. Have multiple bullet steering devices to shake out and hopefully this weather holds,to allow same.

Still waiting to see something from at least the past year, the pics posted show an out of shape person, yet all other pictures are of a young person, so this topic is pretty new, but the proof is of outdated accomplishments, so why none of the current shooting successes?

At this point, we are all dying to know what it is. Just go ahead and post it on here.
That would be extremely bad form...as is offering to share it.
Seriously? Have you been keeping up with this thread? Besides that, what kind of moron would send their actual number? That would be about as stupid as calling it. Actually thats more stupid than calling it.

Our opinions differ.
And to be frank I would be shocked if burns shared the number...whereas I expect it of rick.
too bad somebody in a booth close to Wyoming arms and burns butt [bleep] can't download a lot of this on a rolling video really close to the Wyoming arms booth at the SHOT show

I have good reason to believe this thread will be discussed in a few Booths at SHOT SHOW.
You reckon. If you think that is cool then try to imagine working for either of those clowns...or Stick for that matter.
Yeah, you wouldn't last long working for me building guns.
But maybe Rick would let you wash dishes, on a trial basis.
There is no chance you would be able to actually cook the delious food he serves or even wait the tables but if you really buckle down it's possible you could wash the dishes.

That’s funny. You imagine working for someone
Where people with talent and drive imagine being their own Boss, having their own business, and charting their own waters
Being a subject is ingrained into your soul
I pity you
I have worked for myself, I have managed other peoples business, I have worked for wages. I have done menial work, I have worked behind a desk, behind a wheel, for government. I have swept gutters, cleaned toilets, built roads, stacked bricks, shot professionally, served coffee, served food, served fuel, shorn goats, processed carcases, milked cows, cut wood, cut trees, mown lawns, worked on stations and farms, in factories, on lathes, picked lettuce, worked cattle on horseback, worked heavy machinery, worked security, bounced patrons, worked with explosives...been a roustabout, wool presser, shearer.
I am currently working on my house, in my time, on my coin...for me.
I have never ever disparaged another man's home or the way he earns an honest crust for his family.
That was before I had enough room for all the hardware. Finally have enough room for the Big Wins at least. All the little, local stuff had to go in the trash

I have enough money to not need work for anyone...but thank you for your concern.
As for building firearms for you...I stopped working with lego when I was a wee lad.
Twink post his vid of a shrine. Couldn't stand that BFF Burns multi post bombing his accolade list from a shoot years ago, was waiting for a que to post that vid
Ah yes, A2 service rifle. Brings back memories of shooting prone mid-range at Racine and LaCrosse. I was not skilled, but watching the reserve guys from Fort McCoy shoot like machines was memorable.
VZ24, 308Win 24" / Timney / Boyds / Harris / SWFA 10x42 I put together a few years ago. MagPhosphate Park finish. I prefer Park, easy to do, have my own setup. I do my own smithing, finish chambering.
FTR gun I built, PN 29" SS, 1:12, 3 groove Palma 95 chamber, built on Savage 110, Rifle Basic 8 oz trigger, made the stock, made the bi-pod, Weaver T-24, 20 moa Farrell base, shot 1/4 moa routinely. Won some local Midwest Regional mid-range, placed in state long range.
Wind and mirage <never shoot the boil if ya can>. Low budget shooting with the rock stars. Fun times back in the day.

You know, all of y’all would probably come across as decent human beings in person. There’s just something about the internet though, isn’t there? Lol
You do know that most of us are bored and occasionally like to annoy the shit out of each other...for instance...I don't honestly think John is a rump ranger. I do think he is a dick and deserves rousting now and then.

Pendleton, Castaic, A Place to Shoot, Desert Markman. Did a short stint in a rimfire match where the 84 Olympics were. Had back fustion so got into rimfire with my buddy who had brain surgery. Spend 4k for the rifle and him and took first and 2nd for the season and finals. Sold rifles after that.
Outlook is not good. Met with Neurosurgeon from Beverly Hills earlier. Low back needs fused from T10 to S1. Every disc in my neck is bad. Titos and Modelo for the win tonight.
From one competitor to another....I wish you all the best.
No. It wasn't. I was dropped 54' after a screwed up knot pass by a guy who knew better on an easy climb on Devil's Tower. Did Half Dome together without him killing me earlier that summer.
Still did Red Bull Crashed Ice in goalie gear 23 years later at 47 years old.
If you're gonna be dumb, ya just gotta be tough. 😁

Damn.... we both tough and dumb. I just don't have any quit in me. Drs ask me questions and I answer with real life events and they just shake their heads.
Oh crap, looking at pics, realized I had one of me and Ksmith from when I got to do the "Let's Play Hockey" announcement at a Wild game for veterans Day.
He'll expect apologies from all his doubters....
(Edit: no, that's not really Ksmith, it's a real SEAL)

Yo Burnsy... where are you and your girlfriend Ricky at?
I am about to break up this pity party up and get this thread back on track with some shit talk.
Don't know about Rick as he shows when he wants.
Have you seen the new Leupold MK 4s? At least the pictures of the new Leupold MK 4s?
No. Post pictures and a summary please
Well Leupold just released the New MK 4.
Basically a MK 5 with a 4X zoom.
Priced quite a bit lower than the already reasonably priced MK 5 so the girls with LDS are in a huff because the MK 4 is going to change the PRS/NRL/Highpower game.
We have been talking about this all day. Don't they have internet in the CAT scan machine?
I'll see what pictures I can find but it looks just like the MK 5.

I have not looked through one but will at SHOT SHOW.

Quick history lesson. The Germans gave up first cause they had to fight the Russians. The japs only had to fight the brits and Americans.
Well versed in history. Nazis had the best of everything except leadership. Great brainpower but chemically induce net result poor decisions and defeat.. The mind is our greatest asset. Don't fuuck it up.
Just got done taking my Maxus trigger group completely apart. My reloads suck with an opening in the center of the crimp big enough to leak some shot during cycling. Shot gets lodged under the sear causing some ugly chit to happen
Back issues are the worst and I’ve had my share including surgery
Can’t imagine what happened to have to need everything fused from the thoracic on down

LOL.
Fighting the Orcs was hardly the Nazis biggest problem.
Patton could have taken Berlin if they had let him off the leash. He then wanted to smash the Orcs.
Both the Nazis and the Orcs were second rate, but the Nazis were a better grade of asshole than the Orcs and we did use Nazi tech to get to the moon, sort of.
It took Nukes to get the Japs to bend the knee. Gotta give them that. My understanding is that the nuke formed glass helped the Jap optics industry. I could be wrong.
Anyhow today is a different time and the Japs are pretty solid while the Nazis are not so much.

The Germans didn't have to fight the Russians, they chose to fight the Russians. In fact, in the two years leading up to Operation Barbarossa, the Germans and Russians had signed strategic pacts to avoid conflict with each other. In a clear case of spreading one's army too thin, Hitler reneged on the agreements and sent his lambs off to slaughter in a Russian winter. Had he not engaged Russia, he would have likely won the war in Europe. That's what happens when you become meth head dictator.

Japs were a cult at that time in history. It took two fuucking big asss bombs before they submitted. Germany always had the engineering. Japs were just hard headed.
America is the undisputed champions. Hoo Rah muutha fuucka

The Japs are still a cult but about hard work and doing a good job.
The Nazis, according the AlwaysIndoors, just make poop videos she enjoys. I don't get it but it trips her trigger.
In the interest of full disclosure I did live in Japan for 3 1/2 years. While I don't want to go back I do understand why they get things done and get it done right.
We do agree USA is the King Of The Hill.
That why I like my scopes designed, machined, and assembled in the USA.

USA is the greatest country You are correct. Germany has the best engineers You are not correct. See BMW Japs are weird mother fuuckers. Maybe. See Toyota Landcruiser and LOW.
Because Stone Cold Said so!
I like a crystal ball made of Jap glass. Can see very far into the future.

I despise all JAPS. Spent too much time with those weird little fuuckers
Well does the new scope line have improved innards or typical recent manfacture Leupold adjustments. I personally wouldn't give 200 dollars for a new Leupold. I can buy other brands for much less that actually adjust as advertise and don't shift zero sitting in my safe. I don't trust Leupold anymore. I used to but they let me down too often recently.

One might wonder where Nikon made the Buckmaster optic?
Any idea?
Buckmasters were pretty decent for a hundred dollar scope. No more of them
They work and are very basic. After this video I had Lilja make me barrel, upgrade the scope which was non value added and got accused of buying the wins.
Most times less is more. Bling Bling is not the answer. Fundamentals trumps all

Buckmasters were pretty decent for a hundred dollar scope. No more of them
I've had a Buckmaster on my '06 for 15 years now and it's still rock solid. It's the same first gen model as in 6mmCM's pic. (The second gen was basically a clone of the Prostaff scope.)
I like Zeiss glass. I have had them all and prefer German technology. Cost is not an issue with me. Glass is very opinionated. We all see some different.
Personal preference. At aged 59, I'm not sure what is clear anymore. You all buy what's best for you. I'll will the krauts. Fuuck the Japs

They are cheap and they straight up work. No bling bling
I'd agree with that assessment, but for a few years Nikon was putting out some really good scopes for the money. It's a shame their country's political stance on guns wiped out their lineup.
I've worked my entire life form 16 to the present. I was going to retire but did a solid for a very good friend the the agreed salary and a favor to him. That's how I roll. My spine is fuucked up 66 days from Sunday.
Chasing the latest and greatest is never good. Most often less is more.

I had a Buckmaster 3-9 back when I was a poor college kid. Had it on a bone stock Rem 700 .17 Rem that was an absolute killer. A coyote splat'n SOB.
That was the only 'cheap' variable scope I have ever owned, before or since, that never changed POI when the power was turned up. It never lost zero and was even on cheap rings with windage adjustable mounts. 4 wheeler wrecks, horse wrecks, drunken TInman bad ideas, you name it. That scope was awesome. I upgraded to a FXII 6x36 after the 2nd barrel was done for and while I haven't had an issue with that Leupy, the rifle has also largely sat in the safe for several years, as I moved on to different rounds. I should change that.

Like optics there are lots of good barrels these days.
Both types can deliver great results.
Agreed. Barrels for the win. I have had lengthy conversations with Clay Spencer about accuracy.
The barrel is the central nervous system,3B;s
Barrel, bedding, and bullets. Period.
Then wind reading. The rest is math.
You do get around a bit. I don't know Spencer but he sure had a rep for accurate button barrels.
Barrels, throats and bullets are also math.
If you can't make the next barrel exactly like the last your just spinning your wheels and guessing.
I do, met and learned from the best. Did the same with martial arts many years ago. Learned form the best of the best in both disciplines. Shooting and Combat my claim to fame.
Got to tap right now cause the -28 deg just got a hot water line froze.
It's pox so it won't pop but it's still annoys me.
Stay safe Burnsy
Back for a bit.
Plenty safe but out here the cold can reach the line to the instant hot water heater. Well water comes out at 40 degrees so it starts pretty close to freezing.
I got a lazy and didn't add a bit of extra heat on that line. It's all pex so it won't pop.
Got to have a few decent winter days to keep the Riff Raf out of Wyoming and we have sure had a mild winter right up tell now.
Deer were plenty active on the fields when I checked the other house. Not much snow just a bit chilly.

Well versed in history. Nazis had the best of everything except leadership. Great brainpower but chemically induce net result poor decisions and defeat.. The mind is our greatest asset. Don't fuuck it up.
The Germans actually had some of the best generals. The problem was Hitler believed that just cause he thought something was true, it was in reality true. Kinda like some posters on here.
It's -6 degrees with light snow and winds honking 25-35 here. Just finished a pillar bedding job on a 788. Good day for a couple lathe and mill projects.
The twin brother of the Sightron on the tester is what I have on my 30BR (shown). SIII 36X45ED model.
It put some pancakes on the table this season.
It was on for the win at the season ending combination Group and Score event. This is the second year in a row for this win. The PPC toters in the Group portion really hate getting slapped around by a .30. This year, they had a friendly 'bounty' on me. A new bullet die for the bullets I make seem to work pretty good......
Thanks. My back up Sightron was on for the 2022 NBRSA Score Nationals.
Finished 4th in the Grand Agg. It was really satisfying to be on the team that won the prestigious Ed Shilen Memorial Team trophy. One heck of a humbling honor.
Recovering from first spinal fusion and did this for a while. Me and my buddy Gary. First for him, second for me. Set club record with scores. Sold both rifles to a guy in PNW. We bought these from Hoke Kearns. I miss talking to that guy.
Prize was these cheap as medals. Real prizing was kicking ass at the good ole boys club. Gary had to help me up after every relay. Top notch friend for life.
Spondylosis. Born with it. L5 S1 was never fused. Then misuse of body kickboxing, powerlifting, wrestling, bar fights, bad decisions here I am. Mother and her brother had same spinal issues. I hope my daughter didn't inherit this. I'd wish it on noone. It is a shiity fuucking road for sure
Talked with my buddy Gary last night for a while. He spent 6 months in Long Beach Memorial when he was in is 20s with spinal and brain leakage. We laughed and cried on the call last night. He use to pick me up at 4 am and drive me to the matches and I usually wreaked like scotch when I got in the truck. He'd roll down the window when he arrived and in Hank Moody voice he would yell.... [bleep]. Then he say how I smelled like scotch, drive me to matches and we would kick ass. Good ole days.
A Light Varmint class 30BR I built. Panda with a recoil lug (pre F-Class Pandas). Sightron SII 36X.
A Sightron 6X HBR on one of my Hunter Class guns. If the turrets look unusual for a Sightron, it's because they are.
Another Hunter class rig of mine. Scope is a heavily modified Leupold 6X42 A.O. with my own mods. Tracked like it was on rails and flawless return to zero.
My Heavy Varmint 30BR with a Nightforce 12-42 BR series on top. Flawless tracking.
That Leupold 6X scope is on here at the NBRSA Wisconsin State Hunter Championships.
Won the 100 yd. and was R/U in the Grand Agg. Tom Hencken (to my left) shot a new NBRSA record at 200 to win the Grand Agg. That record still stands.
Van Dyne again. Also in the pic is a very well respected competitor and hunter that used to post here. Damn shame as he's the real deal.
This is a late '70's sleeved 722 that won quite a bit in the Northwest, including the Sniper King Challenge. A pal ended up with it and I did a full rehab on the entire gun. It was featured in an article in Precision Rifleman Magazine in 2021.
I’m dealing with spine issues now at 65 based on dumbass choices when younger, and an accident in Iraq.
Not for the faint of heart.
I’ve been looking for exercise’s to strengthen my lower back, but the bones and disks are never going to heal.
Is you have suggestions, I’m all ears.
Sorry to hear because it truly a sucks and a shiitty way to got through life.
They key is the core of your body. Lots of ab work to keep stomach muscles strong and and to keep the stomach and from bulging out and putting stress on the spins. Focus the hamstrings and hip flexors. Tight hamstrings and hip flexors stress the low back. Hydrate... water is the bodies friend. Walk alot also.
Speaking with a forked tongue, I can do this and my back still fuucking hurts! I stretch and it goes right back to a state of muscle spasm. I found drinking, gambling, and humping works best for me!
I had just finished this one up before Christmas one year. My late wife wrapped it up and put it under the tree.
Whackin' 'dogs in Wyoming with pals Randy Robinett and 'Humble' Henry Rivers. Humble drove here from South Carolina and was not disappointed. I wanted to make sure he knew which way the knobs turned West of the Missouri River.
We even got in on a triceratops dig.
One day, we did 'one and out' shooting. No range finders, one shot. Prone or bipod, no rests. If you miss, the next guy gets a turn. I ended up with the longest shot that day with 'Bubble Gum'...a 222 with Nosler 40 gr. Tips. Winds were 18-22, yardage was 422 measured after with a Leica. Scope is a Leupold 8.5-25 with a 1/2" dot. Parallax correction was miserable but workable.
Sleeved 700 in 30BR that I rehabbed in early 2023. Stock work included laying in some carbon fiber on the bottom of the fore end. Scope is a seldom seen fixed 36X Nikon Monarch that's killer good. With my 125's, it seems like it wants to shoot. There's a little 'weather report' on the 5 shot group that took it from a pretty flat .100 to a .150.

Great pictures Al. You have top shelf equipment. Sorry about your wife. I couldn't function with out mine.

Sorry to hear. Rough road for sure. Stay strong my friend!
There's a West Coast scoot with a broken bottom end sitting about 5 minutes from me. The owner got so pizzed that he pushed it outside and that's where it's been sitting for 3 years...rain, snow, heat and cold. I stopped a couple times inquiring about buying it. The reception was...shall we say...chilly.

Current doggo Paisley is a Schnoodle. Looks ain't deceiving here either. No clue what mean is. Best doggo I ever had. Super smart, no shed, just a happy doggo.
6mm, enjoyed the insight into your fine guns and travels. Best of luck with your back situation. Kudos!
Thank you for your kind words JGRaider. Had a long visit with surgeon yesterday. He said he can't do the surgery through current incision that has been opened up several times. He will have to go through my side and remove parts of my ribs to to do the fusion properly. He said you won't like me when you wake up and for a week or so.
I said no worries, I'll be fine. Sounds like it will be another rough one when the Dr pre warns you. Not looking for to the neck, as he has to do every level. Endeavor to Preserve!

Does he do his own approach or does he use one of the vascular or CT guys? Because that’s the dude I want to vet beforehand.

I’m not sure I could agree to removing my ribs unless it was life or death. Good luck, brother. Chronic pain here since 2015.
This will be a rough one for sure. Pain sucks. 40 years living with it off and on. Last few several it has on way too much. I wish it on NOONE! It's a fuucking bad road and a hard on the personality.

I refuse to accept that concept amigo. There is an corrective action for everything.
Met this young man Austin a few weeks back at his grandparents house. The only glimmer of hope I have seen in the youth of today. He told me about his plan to save 5,000 dollars by the time he graduates. We had a lengthy discussion about my experience with saving and investing along with a monthly meeting with me to discuss the strategy and progress. Today I gave him a head start with $1,000 head start. There is hope!

Nice job on helping the young man out.
I just can't accept it. This young man made me happy.

Thanks. I enjoy working with anything mechanical and figuring out ways to make stuff work better.
Just finished the Kelbly KLP stocking job. It was inletted for a short 700 and I redid the inletting for a BAT SV with a 700 style lug and pillars. Lots of work but it turned out well and is headed to hydro dipping now.

The short Colorado stint was good but an old friend called and asked me if I would do him a solid. We had a brief afternoon meeting to discuss the needs and I said send me the financial offer and all the details. HR called and made the pitch, wife and I looked at each other and said we are in. It was a win/ win for both sides. Closed to my daughter is also a plus. Great area and good people. Just put 60mm in the place last year, now working on getting the ROGI back to corporate as promised.

Life's twist and turns are what makes it interesting....... I have been busy the last year, decided to sell my business and be truly retired instead of semi retired... I am really liking it so far...

I signed for 2 years. Have 10 months in already. None to pleased with the spinal failure but am optimistic that the surgeon I have now can work his magic. Will have 40 years in April 16th. I see the finish line soon but want to have the plant performing at a high level with sustainability for the future. Replaced several people so far and a few more changes are in the works. Has been mislead for several years. Time is against me at the moment.
My 6PPC Light Varmint class rig. RFD action, Sightron 36X up top.
My Mack Bros in 22 Creedmoor. I added a center action screw to it. Sightron 6-24
My Atlas single shot in 22BR. Sightron 4-20 S-Tac.
My 6BR. Another Sightron 4-20 S-Tac. Ted Nugent autographed the stock and added his Stick Man figure.
First class all the way Al. Hunted with Ted in Crawford when I was in Texas. Solid guy. You do very nice work and the 22 Creedmoor is a beauty and I just got a prefit barrel for one of my actions. It is a great caliber. Keep the pictures coming my friend!
Six, any footage of your MMA fights available? That would be interesting to watch.
Martial arts then the rifle shooting? A friend & shooting bud of mine is a black belt in(?) & picked up shooting later. The same drive with the rifles as the belt took.

Daughters wedding in Maui last September. 30 days fresh out of the last back fusion. Told doc he needed to fix me so I can make the wedding. he just shook his head and got er done.
That's the rumor. 180k just for Dr so I could make the wedding. He said you wont' make it. I proved him wrong. First two days was a struggle I must say. Ballpark 250k for wedding give or take.
We are only passing through. There is no difference between a short life and a long life. They are just moments in time.....
The temps in this area are interesting. The south shore of Lake Pontchartrain is about 5 degrees warmer than the north shore in the winter. Surrounding areas had a frost in November. We'll see temps in the upper 20s Wednesday. We generally see a few freezing days a year. In 2013 we had ice on our roads in what was one of the coldest winters on record. In 2016 (IIRC) the surrounding area saw significant snow.

Damn... looks like Wisconsin. I spent some very long extended stays in Ruston for work.
An excellent video...he does a great job and has the wins to back up recommendations.
I don't JB the throat area but do a bit of burnishing instead. I shoot one and clean for the first few rounds just to see what the patches are showing me. Once that settles down...usually 3-5 shots with the burnishing technique...I shoot 10, clean and if the patches are what I expect to see I jump right to load work.
I've got a new barrel ready to fire that has been treated by a process that's supposed to help in break in. Not sure I'm on board with that as the chamber reamer is what generates most of the issue that breaking in takes care of. But I've seen some nicely broken in throats where the barrel still lays copper down about 2/3rds of the way up.
I'm not big on excessive cleaning. I just let the barrel tell me what it likes and clean lightly at an interval that keeps it accurate. On my 30BRs, they can go close to 100 rounds between cleaning.

My lone 6 Creed. Great rifle now after a protracted trip back to Nosler. Topped with a Nikon M5 3-12x42. Good scope for a hunting rifle. Got it on closeout after Nikon bailed on the scope business.
No problem....just my approach. A buddy has a big name cut rifled barrel on one of his BR guns that just flat refused to 'break in'....that thing would load copper like crazy. Finally, two of us suggested that he just quit cleaning it and go shoot 50 rounds...taking a look with the Hawkeye every 10 rounds. Right at 40 rounds it just quit fouling. It's now one of his best barrels.
Off topic for a 'Scopes' thread but it's got bore scopes in it so it's probably ok.

Good information. Barrels do talk to us if we are listening.
Made a nice recovery shot, but still lost the hole. Ended up losing 3and2 to one of the Callaway staffers, so "respectable" Beat being the guys who got smoked 8and6. 😁
I'm ok at golf, but hockey was what I was actually "good" at.
First time as practice goalie with the Wild:
They let me keep a practice jersey:
Edit: realized that was my first time at the Xcel center practicing with the team, my actual first time was at Parade in Minneapolis the day prior.

Good deal. Next time your out this way I'll hook you up with my son in law and his business partner in LA Quinta. They golf there often and are damn good golfers 🏌️♀️
Pretty fuucking badasss Brother Goalie. Hockey isn't for pussies
Yeah, it was awesome playing goalie for the NHL Alumni team for over a decade, but actually practicing with an NHL team made me realize that "good" is still nowhere near that level.
Filled the bird feeders this morning at my sod hut on the prairie before heading to church. The sun dogs are really beautiful today.
Yesterdays shop project...finishing the motor plate. It had an LSX based engine in it. New 315" Coyote Factory Shootout engine going in now for NHRA BB/A class:

There is a huge gap between professional and next level down.

Highly recommend TRT to all the older gentleman on here. Led by a good medical team of course, It improves the quality of life dramatically for us aging old farts.
fellers it has been a good day on here , between chitty weather and broke bones I have enjoyed this thread all day . I appreciate all the pics. and stories . one hell of a good thread
This thread made me wonder if I had any old prizes still here. Found some in a corner of the basement. PPC, USPSA & Sporting Clays, local stuff. Never could run with the big dogs, but refused to stay on the porch. Thought y'all might need a good chuckle.

How true, surprised I found these as I threw out old drag racing trophies years ago. The one USPSA plaque, not even sure what gun I was shooting, but it reminded me of the Kegger afterward. Someone said the tape of the entire night time shoot at the Knob Creek machine-gun shoot vid replayed something like 13 times while we tried to whip the keg.

Never had much luck with a 10/22 in a few configurations until I ponied up. Schtick made fun of me for wanting one, but so far it's been good to me. Thinking you mentioned one also Six, & winning with it.
Need a new pic, now wearing a NF as it started with, & a Greyboe Terrain w/M5 bottom metal. Last month, factory 5R barrel had 50 rounds through it without cleaning. Fired cold bore to check the stock change in zero. .5 L .5H, fired 2 more to confirm, .3 three shot group @100. 2 clicks down & right, shoot confirm, reset knobs to zero. Dang gun kicks a bit more than my 260's or 6CM & doesn;t shoot as flat or as far. But simply have to keep it around.
Ain't that somethin? a couple customs here with Kriegers that shoot damn good, but a doggone $800 factory rifle always waiting to kick one ovum's ass. I love it!

Factory barrels can be great shooters as well. Always test drive them before wanting to spend money needlessly. Save it for the ammo.
The Eagle Wi, target go my attention. So I looked & there is an Eagle & an Eagle River, so no connection. But I had a bud in ER & I whitetail hunted up there one late Nov. Have spent weeks in Rocky Mtn. high country in late Oct. early Nov. 4 feet of snow. But never,,,,,,,, been colder than I was in Eagle River one Thanksgiving week. Some hardy folks for sure. Is that where you're from?

Pennsylvania born. Just south a Buffalo. Well aware of snow and cold. Not a fan of either.
A scope thread with a nekkid rifle? Finished last May. Has had 2 scopes borrowed from it, still not finalized for load or optics choice. I'm slowing down some, but maybe this spring will have it rockin. 7.5tw 6 Creed. No comps just fun or shootin with buds for a buck a match.

Aztalan WI MX back in the day, 1977. I sure enjoyed racing. I chose 449 for whatever reason, could be AMA District 16 had that number available. Dunno.
First trophy I won I got concused in practice, BIG endo over the bars. Was fearless that day. That was 125cc class. Moved to 250cc class seen here. I figured out 2nd gear starts always resulted in holeshot.

5 or 6 trips west to put Prairie Dogs on the endangered species list. And this old original Bushmaster V-Match upper on a Rock River lower has never missed a beat, not once. Owns 695 yard kills. Scope elevation travel craps out there.

I understand that some matches don't allow gadgets, & that's probably separating the wheat from the chaff. But without the the gadgets & a cheat sheet, I guess this old man would be lost. Or back to the old days of just guessing yardage. Done everyday with a lot of misses helped hone the use.
Only have 3, but they don't leave me wondering. So far the 5.5 -22 NXS is my fave. Had one sold it, regretted it, bought another, happy. Had to have the newer NX8 in 4-32. Lower weight than & shorter than NXS, eyebox a bit tighter. But the only reticle available in SFP is a bit busy for my 70 YO peppers. The longer heavier NXS 32X might have suited me better. Heavy damn things, my only bitch. I don't carry them far, but rifle balance suffers IMO.
FWIW, Schtick just bought 2, his test should be..... interesting.

OTOH......................... Schtick hates this pic, won't admit it but I could tell. Wanted to try a 17 but no ammo around. Then a year or so later ammo showed up. Pawn shop Salvage, mud on the stock, $200 OTD. Grabbed a 4-12 BSA Sweet 17 for $60 OTD & some V-maxes. 5 shots, 1/2" at a hunnert, with a flier.
I've had a ball with it. It owns several 300 yard plus PD kills.

Filled the bird feeders this morning at my sod hut on the prairie before heading to church. The sun dogs are really beautiful today.
Yesterdays shop project...finishing the motor plate. It had an LSX based engine in it. New 315" Coyote Factory Shootout engine going in now for NHRA BB/A class:

Helluva shop to be involved with!
Way past my IQ! impressive as Fuuck
Not! past your IQ. Just past your forte or training. If you chose this path you'd be OK.
Great stuff Al, I've drag raced & worked as a tool maker. Thinking your spot might be about as sweet as it gets for the trade.
Great pics and stories! brings alot of memories. I dont usually hang out in the optics forum, but have been following this thread and had to comment on this... A local fellow here fought Benny IIRC 1984, Tom LaRoche went 12 rounds with Benny, he had Benny hurt, Benny had him hurt several times.
Tom LaRoche is a 4 time World welterweight champion, he still teaches white crane Gung fu in Kamloops BC, he is a Pastor at a local Church too.

Probably be great in a “post every picture you’ve taken in your entire life” thread in the “Document your entire life” Forum
Not so much in stick’s “Scopes” thread in the “Optics” Forum
Hard core spot and stalk fox hunting. Early January, temps in the single digits and NW winds blowing 20....you can tell by my cover up and the fox's tail. Fox was right at 300 yards, gun is a 700 in 22BR with Nosler 40 gr. BTips @ 4,020. Scope is a Leupold 6.5-20X50 with a fine Duplex.
This one was 20 yards past the quarter mile fence line...right at 460 yards. Day was dead calm and we were losing snow so stalking close was a no go...the shot was were it was or go home. 700 in 220 Swift with the Nosler 40 gr. BTips @ 4,300 over a bunch of WW760. Scope was a twin to the one on the 22BR above...6.5-20X50 with a fine Duplex. You can se the hold overs/hold offs taped on the turrets. Even then, adjustment wander and RTZ was a real issue. Set the zero @ 250 and hold off/over relative to the thick/thin intersection on the reticle.
My best upland dog, Sam ('Cheststar's Miss Cinnamon Samantha'). She was a one person hunter...disliked hunting in groups or with more than maybe one other dog. She and I covered a lot of ground together. The date on the pic is wonky as I had changed the batteries and didn't reset the date.
Good hunt on the day after Christmas.
Jan 2nd pheasant hunt. A few years later, the man kneeling on the right side (a talented thoracic surgeon) would quite literally save my life.
My fox hunting gear that still ready to go. Ted signed this one too....22BR. Leupold 6.5-20X50, Leupold spotter and Celestron 8X56 binoc. The Celstrons have excellent color resolution, even to this day. Much better than a set of Zeiss 8X56's. The Leupold has been replaced by a Sightron 4-20X50 with the MOA2 reticle.
'Sopranos' crew, South Dakota style. Might be more than a little truth in that.

Just shows his "scope" is more than optics. Refreshing.
Ooooh, I see what you did there......
Grin!
If you're up against a bruiser and you're getting knocked about --
Grin.
If you're feeling pretty groggy, and you're licked beyond a doubt --
Grin.
Don't let him see you're funking, let him know with every clout, Though your face is battered to a pulp, your blooming heart is stout; Just stand upon your pins until the beggar knocks you out --
And grin.
This life's a bally battle, and the same advice holds true
Of grin.
If you're up against it badly, then it's only one on you,
So grin.
If the future's black as thunder, don't let people see you're blue; Just cultivate a cast-iron smile of joy the whole day through; If they call you "Little Sunshine", wish that THEY'D no troubles, too --
You may -- grin.
Rise up in the morning with the will that, smooth or rough,
You'll grin.
Sink to sleep at midnight, and although you're feeling tough,
Yet grin.
There's nothing gained by whining, and you're not that kind of stuff; You're a fighter from away back, and you WON'T take a rebuff; Your trouble is that you don't know when you have had enough --
Don't give in.
If Fate should down you, just get up and take another cuff; You may bank on it that there is no philosophy like bluff,
Enjoy the thread very much thanks. Always keep in mind there are those who find sour apples in everything they are not the center of attention. Carry on a fun interesting thread.
All is I can say is thank God he hasn't had a serious bout of hemorrhoids cause I really don't want to see those pics. If he does post those pics, he could call them the grapes of wrath.

Maybe he will post a few pics of something that most would think are worse than hemorrhoids.
We have Mark to thank for a high percentage of the lovely lady photo's in the miscellaneous section. And if anybody really needs to know how he's got such a high post count, it's that he has the ability to post 2 or 3 pages of some of the finest bodies there, are in just a few minutes.

Happy Birthday Doggo River. Enjoy your day to the fullest.
Congrats on your retirement sir. I am sure it was well earned....
Back to scopes, I saw some very impressive work via huskemaw the last week. I know I know I don’t shoot much but boy they seem to work pretty handily..

Won't be around much longer. Hell of a father, told him I wish I was half as good as him.
Dad's are the best. Had to put mine in a memory care facility this year at age 88. Didn't get to hunt near as much as usual. We sure whacked some game back in the day though. He too me mule deer hunting when I was 11 in 1971. Been hooked ever since.

You purposely took a head shot at 750 yards?
Is this not legal Ricky? Burnsy whacks at a mile or so...

750 yard shots are legal. Hitting one in the eye I’m sure was the result of jerking the trigger

That's close to or at B&C for a Coues.
I don't think Jud took the shot and I don't think anyone is aiming for the head on Trophy Coues at any range, much less 750 yds. Bust the skull plate or hit a horn.
Tell the hows and whys, Jud. Looks like a good hunt down south.

Yessir John, few book bucks ate shiit.👊🏻
But both you and I know nobody tried to make a head shot on that coues.
The bullet might have hit the eye ball but that was a fail on both elevation and windage and the poor buck stuck his eye ball in the wrong place.
Pretending to be Defag isn’t your strong suit, fuuck Biden and trump. If either parties can’t find better candidates than those 2 dummies, we’re in a whole lotta trouble

Two biggest homos on the internet. Burnsy boy, how did you let your physical appearance and decline to the level that it is now. Lack of self discipline and excessive alcohol. You capillaries in your face are alarming.

Now he wants to pretend he is dropping humans?
GTFO.
Good luck on your surgery.

Excessive alcohol consumption can result in long-term consequences, including redness in the face. Some people who experience facial redness notice the redness goes away once they quit drinking alcohol.
How can anyone allow the to decline you have Burns?
No Discipline boy...
Well I do sleep all night long and get up in the morning feeling really good.
Just gave my back a little twist and got 3 nice pops.
Feeling pretty good.
Sure this this is way you want to go?
This is the Huniting Optic Forum, not the "my life sucks worse than anyone forum".
I am done being nice.
Enjoy the sleep that you get know. With all the signs of heart disease written all over your face your time is limited. I would continue on the path that you are on which is cardio vascular disease and obesity. Death should come quickly.

Good luck on the surgery.
Funny thing is I am actually hoping for a good outcome.
That's because I am not a simpering dick and would never wish ill health on another.
Burnsy.... seek help at once so you can keep on keeping on. You are such a world of knowledge here on 24CF. What will Ricky do without you? Think of poor Ricky.

Rick hardly need me.
And rest assured I will keep on keepin on. SHOT SHOW 2024 is looking better than ever.
Good luck with that whole back surgery thing.
While guys like you revel in attacking others I only hope for a good outcome.
Litterally, I hope you get fixed. For real.
It must be awful to be in your condition and I understand why you might strike out. I would not wish that on anyone.

Ricky... you try impress all here so hard and convincing of shooting and the same ole pictures. None of it works. It is quite concerning on all the effort you and Bursnsy boy do.
Hell... I would just pull out my dick and silence the crowd and make you and Burnsy look even more dumber.
Wanna be Burnsy and Ricky. Look at me! You two are made for each other. G1 and G2
I posted a video of lots of heads on the wall. You two dorks have nothing. go back to school and lear again Burnsy Ricky. Add another gay meme to before you have cardiac arrest.

I am not the one posting my Catscans and Xrays in the Hunting Optics Forum.
You need to quit attacking the world and focus on fixing your broken self.
You have a long road ahead and all this is just hiding.
I would imagine facing your issues is scary. Suck it up Buttercup.
I am going to be finer that frog hairs. You focus on getting better.
Litterally every single Memeber of the 24 hr Campfire is on your side and hope for a great outcome.
This thread has gotten seriously off the charts weird, even for this place.
yep, I doubt anyone here (assuming they were sober)would say any of this stuff in person to the other, without fear that it might escalate into jail time.

I bet those guys just love when people flash their pics all over the internet in some retarded Jr High Cock length competition.
To be fair, they take serious ribbing for the sheer amount of books they write about their BUD's class and whatever obscure operation they may or may not have been involved in.
As to the picture, that was a tough one, I saw 4-5 solid candidates
Prior to that I had a t-7 with a creedmoor head...and the difference is night and day.
They look super cool and beefy - I'm still old school Rock Chucker but wondering if the Zero would be an upgrade in quality of produced ammo. Not that the RC is bad - but a big ass Zero on the bench, gives a guy warm fuzzies.
Accuracy International machine work,strikes me as being rather Skookum. No inclusions or weirdness,though Dust Bunnies in their lube. Might CerroSafe,if only to delve deeper. Hint.

When I full length size fired 270 win or 7x64 it feels like sizing 223 rem. And I have the handle about half way in.
If you go that way be sure to get the 419 die ring set and the 419 shell holder set with the Zero. It is worth it.
Added: A local shooter came around and tried the Zero and managed to crush a Lapua 7x64 without feeling it...I did though, I really liked that Lapua case.
This is the third set of 30BR cases I've done using my 'DeLumper Die'.
When you expand a 6BR up to .30, there's a 'lump' at the bottom of the neck from what used to be part of the shoulder. The 'lump' measures right at .335. The 'lump' has a lot of hoop strength and gives a lot of neck runout...something you don't want when neck turning as you blend into the shoulder. A Redding 7BR Body Die has a port opening of .311 so I ordered a couple of carbide reamers stepped from .311 to .327.
Made this stub and threaded it 7/8-14:
Put an 'o' ring between the stub and the lock ring to give it some 'float', indicated it up and went in with the reamer and plenty of Moly D fluid:
Straight and a nice finish:
Dykem shows the external lump is gone. It doesn't go to the inside as you might think...it's displaced to the upper part of the inner shoulder.
Neck runout pre de-lumping:
Same case post de-lumping:
I set this one up to blend way down into the shoulder for illustration. Appreciable runout would show an irregular 'wave cut' around the shoulder.
A bore scope was used for the pic inside the neck area of the die....so I guess this is somewhat on topic??????
From the hip and as a "hunch",this was a rather great call as balance and handling goes. I like to both feel and see headspace and this on the Alpha Virgin money. Hint.
I've had a borescope for a goodly while and haven't even taken it out of it's packaging. Hint.

My latest "experience" from Reupold,involved taking a World Class Rifle that Agg's in the .2's,to this at 50yds in calm conditions(18.5# Vudoo Bartlein barreled and 2-ounce Shilen trigger). Hint.
It was their Flagship offering. Hint.

How about a gander at your loading setup. Long range fellas generally have some interesting gear.
Multiple Dillon 550s, RCBS Chargemasters, prefer Forester dies but have some Redding. All Micometer seating and bushings for the necks. Everything gets full lenght resized and dies get replaced when they wear enough to not bring base diameter -.002 to the chamber. Dies are set to give -.002 headspace.
I like a lot of great ammo and am not interested in chasing things that won't matter.
Don't point bullets or nose ring. Use Bergers and Sierra TMK in the small frame ARs.
Most of my shooting these days is Semi Auto so I lose cases before there is need for anealing.
Pistols and revolvers and 5.56/.223 ARs get measured charges from Dillon measures.
Bigger cases get weighed charges from the Chargemasters.

There is still a question if he actually shot it or ran it over with his Shaggin Wagon.

I can post them here, if you’d like. I have time. I am on hold with Alaska Airlines trying to get rebooked (for the 2nd time) due to flight cancellations.
To make it more fun, I have a box of pig meat that I have to keep frozen somehow. Their cancelled flights have already costed me about a grand due to extended rental car fees, another hotel ($395 a night in Kona😞) and everything else, not to mention not getting back home until 2 days after I planned, etc.

I wouldn’t give a damn about being stuck here if I didn’t have this pig meat to deal with and $400 hotel rooms.

I always like looking at pictures. It's what a shooting/hunting forum is all about.
Only reason to get pizzy about some else's pictures is if it causes you to feel envious, other wise it's good content for the site.
Pictures are not a personal attack but many here feel attacked by pictures that cause them envy.
I enjoy looking at LiL Fish's pictures even though they are faked.

Don’t worry Beretz, after the first couple, the shock kind of wears off.
I can post them here, if you’d like. I have time. I am on hold with Alaska Airlines trying to get rebooked (for the 2nd time) due to flight cancellations.
To make it more fun, I have a box of pig meat that I have to keep frozen somehow. Their cancelled flights have already costed me about a grand due to extended rental car fees, another hotel ($395 a night in Kona😞) and everything else, not to mention not getting back home until 2 days after I planned, etc.

Nothing about Hunting Optic just personal attacks because you're an envious piece of shit.
Seriously...you are going with that.
Really?
Yeah, lots to be envious of huh JSTUART? We've got a guy who's 100lbs overweight, alcoholic, no family, and a company bankrupting afficionado. He's a real winner alright.
Even when your friends with 6creed your not really friends…..
It's pretty sick to goad a guy on going through such a horrible situation like 6mmCM is enduring.
He's self medicating and depressed but the pieces of shit that throw gas on that fire and giggle from the sidelines are the lowest scum here on the Campfire.
With that in mind I believe in giving credit where credit is due
So this will be the condensed version (as best as I recall).
When I first started posting on 24hrcampfire, Flat Land Texicans that hunted over feeders from stands were pretty much held in low esteem and had limited credibility.
You've heard the saying, "Pix or it didn't happen. Well I had some pix, but very limited credibility.
As luck would have it three guys in particular came to my rescue.
ShortActionSmoker sold me an ARAIG 2013 Group Buy knife and along with it he included a "Western Hunter Starter Pack"
A McSwirley crayon, a 6mm., 87 Gr. Hornady A-Max, and blue tape for the end of a rifle barrel, plus instructions for each items particular use.
Luckily I stumbeled on the "243" and "243 Ackley" Threads.
You've heard the saying, "Pix or it didn't happen. Well I had some pix, but very limited credibility. So I started posting.
Soon Ricky Bob Menefee contacted me, said he would like to make me a knife. I was already collecting, but that pushed me over the edge.
After I acquired a couple of his knives, I mentioned to him that short, fat, bald Texans that hunted over bait got very little respect when they went out west.
He said he'd make me a knife that "throbbed" for attention.
Wasn't long befoe a Blue Vein Walrus Dick Boner showed up at my door.
Tell you how cool it was, huntsman22 now owns it, and I didn't even have to pay him to take it.
Yowsir!
And next, of all things a guy that took great photos who really made a Texas boy feel at home befriended me. He went by several Sobriquet's, Boxer/Busheler/Big Stick.
Perhaps, the holding of the ARAIG group buy Ingram captive here in Texas caught his attention
If it were not for B's gentle coaxing and encouragement, I'd probably not posted half of the pix that I did early on.
In fact, B was the inspiration for the Haybale and Crockett Chronicles, Tales from the Petting Zoo,
Golf Carts and Gates Edition!
The rest is history (as in I don't remember)
Anywho, posting here has and continues to be a very enjoyable source of entertainment.

Yeah, especially that guy that calls everyone "brother" like we are some religious cult or something.... and those GIFs... they bring nothing to the fire... we should lobby to have him banned...

That dude is clearly a sociopath:
“However, people who are sociopaths use excessive charm to manipulate others into believing they are good guys. They use their slippery charm to weave a false sense of safety and trap their victims into trusting them. While anyone can fall for a sociopath's surface-level charm, they tend to go for folks who are aching for attention, and thus more likely to fall for it”

Be careful. They lurk here for sure
Sounds scary.....
I do have a lot of experience with narcissist.... they can be very destructive, until you get their number, then they are pretty easy to maneuver around.
As for evil lurking here, that is no joke.... I have been doxed and stalked and threatened, hell, happened again today.
Buzz went so far as to cyber sleuth who I am , what business I own, where I do business, why do you think he would spend the time to do that?
Duck 911 did the same thing a couple years ago... yet you and John give me crap for not using my name.
Well PM Judman, he will tell you, hell no need to even do that he doxed me earlier.
Thing is there is no upside to using your real name, only downside and the sicko's will use it against you.
Now if you are marketing products I could see using your real name. I know Doug at Camera land uses his with great success.

I do not believe I am betraying a confidence by telling this story Hopefully he would not mind.
I've had the good fortune to have owned quite a few of his knives. One of my favorite things about doing business with Gene is that I could call him and tell him of an idea for a project I had in mind and ask if he would be interested.
I have sold most of his standards, but have most all of the one-offs he did for me.
A few years ago I got a text from him. It was about a book called 'The Skinning Knife"
I immediately looked it up and purchased it on Amazon IIRC.
Once it came in, I perused it immediately.
I got the notion that It would be fun to ask him if he would fashion a knife that was a copy of one of the skinning knives featured in this tome.
I texted him with a picture of the knife that I wanted to see if he would recreate
I asked for etched A2 steel, the scales and dimensions were up to him.
His reply was that he would be happy to do the knife. I was taken aback when he told me (this is my rememberance) that when he first started making knives that knife was one of the first he'd made.
Talk about a serendipity!
The knife is pictured on page 131....
And the knife he sent me......
GWB #131, A2 Steel. The scales are from the rib-bone of a Stellar's Sea Cow (Which has been extiinct for several hundred years)

To his credit,Steelhead spoke of an Old Boy who knew and made blades. I'm dumb enough to listen and spoke to the gentle man in question. I confess to rather liking him and his work,so asked to be his feedback,after receiving my first (#4 DP in D2). He was/is wayyyyyyyyyyy ahead of the game,regarding stock selection,heat treat and use. So while I got lotsa "new stuff",Gene seemingly knew WELL in advance WTF. His humor and humility are fhuqking on par and such things don't hurt business. That initial blade cleaned (5) Moose in a single Season and added to his deserved wait list. Hint.
My initial cringe at 440C,is stifled by decades of daily use and the simplistic nudge,that same is draped in Kydex and on my neck. ALL of which was new to me. Hint.

Got dammit! resiting putting the lemon song here, just listened to a couple minutes, still killer.
OTOH, would someone point to the add for the green 308. I looked on Ca. Armslist & GB & didn';t see it. No chance of me beating somebody to it, I'd just like to see more of it & the price so I can realize it's not for a rednecks budget.
ETA: that group was shot with a Vari-XIIc 3-9x that spent the first part of its life on my Colt Sauer .375H&ag Adjustment ring froze up, sent it back and now it rides an early Kimber 82 classic and the .30-06 wears a Nightfarce.
308 is a jack of all trades. Solid but not stellar. I've had many.
They suck, and I can’t imagine ever being without at least one on hand. If you have a set of dies and some good brass, it really doesn’t make sense not to own a few
I started from absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. Learn to get good at something and never quit. Provided for wife and kid 10 fold and other family members. Lots of stress and a bad spine now. April 16th will be 40 years, told wife I will cross the finish line handicapped. But still standing..... High school education, started off at minimum wage, self made millionaire.. Was a fuuckking hard road. Family will have no worries. Pay yourself first, invest wisely. Follow the 3 key words of life.... Decision, Temptation, Moderation.
6mm, you have no desire to return to PA? I thought that section of the state was one of the nicest I have seen. Was up there shortly after my first wife passed away.

Number of years ago I worked at GE Transportation. The locomotive plant in Erie. Now owned by Westinghouse. At that time . GE employees from different divisions would get laid off. They had a preferential hiring program. Where you could get hired at another GE division and keep your pension going. Some guy that worked at a GE appliance division in Southern Illinois got a job at the Erie plant. Got to know him. One day he said to me. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but Erie sucks. I'm not sure what's so special about Southern Illinois. And this was in September. I told him........... Wait until January or February. You'll learn a new definition of sucking...

He does 6.5 as well, and a few 6mms and 260s. 308 is just his bread and butter because of law enforcement and special military contracts.

Sexy, well optioned rifles , but see about 2-3 grand of pork in the final price. The pieces parts ain't hard to look up or add up along with high end gun smith fees, but this one over the top.
But,,,, I do appreciate Six offering the pic & a follow up for folks to dream on.

He isn't just some other smith, and nobody else can guarantee 1/4 moa or better with factory ammo. He has to re-work the best of parts to meet his own specs.
In the end, the top leaders of a company either make it great or [bleep] it up. Everyone else just tries to survive.
Then there are a few who create their own destiny. Balls.... Big balls are good.

I love dreams about work and the NEVER ending potential chit that is gonna go wrong!
It's always about cows getting out of where they should be. Or grasshoppers or really bad weather.
When your lively hood is based on Mother Nature and market conditions it’s going to be stressful. But at least there’s no office drama and plenty of fresh air.

Friend had a Tango 51. I was unimpressed. The throat was cut too short and bullets would stick in the chamber if you tried to extract a live round of the recommended factory ammo. The gunsmith, Mike, said that "Federal changed the dimensions of the bullet". The bullet in question was the 168 gr Sierra MatchKing. I had plenty of old 168s, new 168s, old Federal Gold Medal Match, and new Gold Medal Match and none of them had discernable change in dimensions. The rifle shot "ok", but the "guarantee" was a tourist trap. The ammo isn't capable of 0.250 MOA every time. The guarantee is like a broken clock where the time is right twice a day. Occasionally it put up some good groups, but the average for five five-shot groups is more like 1/2 minute of angle. There were a few other rifles we were shooting at the time that would outshoot it. The price of the rifles is literally hype and marketing. One could build an identical rifle for much less or build a better rifle for less--that is to include better coatings, better chamberings, better actions, better stocks, etc.
I was involved with testing several rifles built for SWAT team service that had been rebarrelled and the reamer spec'd for the FGMM 308 with the Sierra 168. The ammo was at best capable of 1/2" three shot groups...which more than satisfied the requirement, of course. As an experiment, I pulled the bullets on quite a few, reseated them to just touch the rifling and the accuracy picked right up.
The bigger issue was Federal's inconsistent seating depths of the bullets from lot to lot. In the end, all the barrels had the throats lengthened to swallow whatever came out of the FGMM boxes.
Those rifles are still in service and humming along.

The issue isn't the length, its the width. It has nothing to do with tac ops and has to do with Sierras bullets having a huge width variance. It causes issues with any tight match chamber, my Tikka 308 barrel with a match chamber from PVA can't chamber about 2 out of every 100 rounds of fgmm. I though it was length, but my handloads with the same bullet where longer than the round giving me issue so I measured it, and sure enough the ones that are harder to chamber are bigger width wise.

Frankly, you do not understand the issue.
#1 An "expert" smith making "tactical field guns" shouldn't have the ogive anywhere near the lands.
#2 The width of all the bullets are .308". The "length" in question would be base to ogive.
#3 It is an issue of measuring OAL vs CBTO when setting up length.

Occasionally it put up some good groups, but the average for five five-shot groups is more like 1/2 minute of angle. There were a few other rifles we were shooting at the time that would outshoot it. The price of the rifles is literally hype and marketing. One could build an identical rifle for much less or build a better rifle for less--that is to include better coatings, better chamberings, better actions, better stocks, etc.
The issue isn't the length, its the width. It has nothing to do with tac ops and has to do with Sierras bullets having a huge width variance. It causes issues with any tight match chamber, my Tikka 308 barrel with a match chamber from PVA can't chamber about 2 out of every 100 rounds of fgmm. I though it was length, but my handloads with the same bullet where longer than the round giving me issue so I measured it, and sure enough the ones that are harder to chamber are bigger width wise.
Frankly, you do not understand the issue.
#1 An "expert" smith making "tactical field guns" shouldn't have the ogive anywhere near the lands.
#2 The width of all the bullets are .308". The "length" in question would be base to ogive.
#3 It is an issue of measuring OAL vs CBTO when setting up length.
You’re wrong.
Show me that Federal is loading Sierra bullets that measure greater than .308" causing them to stick in the chamber.
Sounds like you've got a hard one for TacOps and you're White Knighting for them.
Also, I'd like to know how the smith took it back to use his "updated reamer" and the problems went away. Hmmm...would love to see a Sierra bullet loaded by Federal measuring a significantly larger diameter that it would fail to chamber.
Sierra 168's MK's have always measured .3080-.3081 for shank diameter. This includes the original 168 International Match bullet.
A bigger issue to grasp is throat angle and how it affects where the bullet is in relation to the rifling origins. There's a world of difference between the 'standard' 1 degree/30 minute throat, the 1 degree/45 minute throat and the very common 2 degree/22 minute angle that many reamers have. With the same free bore length, these three different throat angles will show measurable differences to where the contact point of a particular bullet reaches the 'T.P.' (touch point) of the rifling.
I'd state exact figures but most wouldn't believe it anyway.
Also, I've measured FGMM neck diameters that were fully .342 with a bullet seated.

Thanks, Al.
In other words, a tight neck may not chamber, but for a bullet to get stuck in the chamber when a live round is extracted, the throat would need to be tight and/or shallow. Many may choose to load ammo this way, but this should be avoided for a field rifle.

That might be what I’m talking about, but regardless I had the same issue drop point describes with a match chamber and fgmm from a totally different smith (PVA) that is well regarded and the rifle shoots great, it’s just that I have to force some rounds into the chamber, there was one round that I literally could not chamber, as in I literally couldn’t push the bolt far enough forward to close it.
I thought it was a length issue but my handloads that were with the same bullet (175gr smk) and that were considerably longer from base to ogive than the fgmm chamber just fine. That’s when I made the measurements and found discrepancy. This was back in 2020, 2021 so my memory might not be on point. Regardless, measurements will be posted this week. I don’t have this issue with my Tac ops, yes the bolt close is tight on some rounds but nothing extreme. It could be different because Im shooting hornady, idk.
Drop point… As far as a tight chamber, you’re not going to be able to consistently hold that level of accuracy with factory unless it is tight to make up for the variance in factory ammo. Saying that “shouldn’t be done” is simply your opinion, nothing more.
Only 700 yard PD kills, scope was out of elevation. Old pre Rem Bushmaster V-Match. Pre picatinny flattop. A weaver rail screwed on. Thought about 20 moa rings or the like, but hell, 700 was enough for a 50 V Max.
Time to move up to another caliber.
First couple times in the PD towns was most fun I'd had with my clothes on. Except,,, for the damn rattlesnakes. Alert level,,,,, HIGH
A VX or Vari X III bought in 92 or 3, varmint model w/elevation knob, capped windage & an 1/8 min dot reticle'. Worked well in tight quarters Ky. but western prarie dog towns different. Sent back for a fine duplex, the windage wire helping with wind hold offs & another turret for windage. Not normally needed around home with 400 yd. or so shots. It's been a good one, both before & after a trip to the custom shop.
15.5# gun in a soft case, warned about it. Same day it ripped the zipper & landed butt first on concrete driveway, then on the elevation cap. I was devastated. Changed windage about 3/4 moa low. Bought big dumb Stormcase the next week. |
That one belongs to a local shooter who owns F-Class Products. He had that and it's 4 twins out Saturday morning. Paragon Actions, Blake Barrels, NF scopes, I think a Cerus stock and a Bix trigger. I assume it is chambered in his 7 FCP Cartridge, but I don't shoot F Class and we usually just talk Elk and Coues hunting.
My first time shooting next to that gentleman. The out of state shooters are in town for the upcoming Southwest Nationals match. I did note that the sunshade on the NightForce references the 2017 World Championships.
My Eliseo stocked Palma rifle in the first photo is ready to rock in that match with it's new Obermyer barrel.

That would be Brian Blake. I've used a barrel or two of his in the 1000 silhouette game. You'd be hard pressed to find a better barrel.

There again, its a "sniper rifle" not a bench rifle. Rifles that can't chamber the very ammunition it was designed to use aren't accurate, because they won't fire.
TacOps rifles are NOT 1/4MOA rifles. Nor does a rifle have to be unreliable to shoot 1/2 MOA.
Yep, Bryan makes some great barrels. His action is a recent offering.
Ever see that neck turning machine he makes? Seems like the guy is into everything. dave
I saw what I believe was the prototype being showed off on a tailgate in the Ben Avery 1000 yard range parking lot a few years ago. Wild stuff. I think he may be working on a high end priming tool now.
He has some good videos on YouTube on barrel making etc.
https://www.fclassproducts.com/idod The idod.... Now available in manual and a CNC model. You gotta hand it to the guy. Me thinks someone has access to a lot of CNC milling equipment..... I used a 6mm 1-8 light Palma barrel for the past two seasons on my 12 pound 6mm BRA. You just could not ask for more of a barrel. Coming up I've got a 6.5 GT HV 1-8 ready to screw on when the Hawk Hill that's on it starts fouling to hard to suit me Two seasons say 1000 to 1400 rounds . I've gone farther. Never very successfully...
He is from a a machinist family going way back. Walking through the shop is like a history tour from vintage to modern. Big history with performance car stuff as well.

They are 1/4 moa rifles, maybe you should learn how to shoot that particular stock configuration more before you make a complete judgement.
I went out yesterday to see if it’s still 1/4 moa like it always has been…… surprise surprise, it is. Could upload pics if this site wasn’t so outdated. Not paying $8 for photobucket.

You're full of [bleep]. Mike had to "FIX" the rifle to make it stop happening. You can't tell me SAAMI-spec ammo is a problem, especially when the rifle reamer was designed for that ammo. I'll say it again for your dense little head: THE PROPBLEM WASN'T CHAMBERING! The problem was LIVE ROUND EXTRACTION.
No, the Tac Ops isn't a 1/4 minute rifle. You're a liar. Send me a PM with a video or photo of five consecutive five-round groups and I'll post it for you. No, I don't have to pay any money for an account either. You're just too stupid to figure it out. Doesn't surprise me, when you believe those rifles are that precise.

The guarantee is three shots, no different than GA precision or anybody else, and it meets that. Again pm me your number. I have 5 shot groups that are 1/4". You just have a vendetta against tac ops and post the same stuff on every discussion about it. Why make it five shots? We can arbitrarily increase it x amount but you won't do that for other smiths. It would be like me saying that GA is crap because their 3/8 moa is only for three shots and that when I shoot it more it's their fault and that they are garbage, that's not how it works and everyone knows it.

The "guarantee" is meaningless. You had one of the most experienced accuracy shooters in the country even point out that the ammunition isn't capable of the guarantee.
I am not going to send you my phone number. I told you send me a PM and you can e-mail me.
A three-round group doesn't equate to the rifle's accuracy. Nor does a random five-round group. Both are statistically insignificant.
I have a vendetta? Nope, I'm posting my experience with them. No less, no more. People who pay $7,000 for one are getting ripped off.
I didn't bring up "other smiths". Nor did I say any rifle is crap.
Why are you unable to measure your own rounds?
Answer me this, if TacOps rifles are as precise as you say, why has nobody ever won an PRS match, a BR match, or an F-Class match with one?
You have a lot to learn, kid. Go out and shoot a 5x5 and get back to us. Or better yet, go shoot a match--I'll be looking for Jake in the leader boards.

It's not any of those rifles, to even shoot in a PRS match with one you would want to heavily modify it. Weight system, added rails, some sort of round that has less recoil than a 6.5cm, you could run that but there is a reason why everyone is running 6mms with 26" barrels. Then you would burn out your barrel in training. Most civilians that buy them are people that get it, say wow that's cool and then put it in the safe. That being said the LE snipers have great success with them, which is what they are made for, and LE sniping is different from comps, and even from mil sniping. You wouldn't want a semi auto for LE but for mil it would work just fine. If I do end up with a 308 from him I guess I could try Tac class prs, I would still modify it. As far as three rounds groups I have shot them back to back sub 1/4", yes 5 rounds is a better feel for the whole system and that's why I shoot them, but that's not what Tac ops claim is, and nobody does that either.
I'm stationed at a base far from home and didn't bring my Tikka with me, so I had no reason to bring my 308 rounds with me. I hope to get it soon, I'll have to take leave to do that and I need a scope for it, planning on a used PMII or trying the new mk4hd for it.

As far as three rounds groups I have shot them back to back sub 1/4", yes 5 rounds is a better feel for the whole system and that's why I shoot them, but that's not what Tac ops claim is, and nobody does that either.
I'm stationed at a base far from home and didn't bring my Tikka with me, so I had no reason to bring my 308 rounds with me. I hope to get it soon, I'll have to take leave to do that and I need a scope for it, planning on a used PMII or trying the new mk4hd for it.
So you don't actually own the TacOps you're making claims about?
As far as adding rails, you can take a barreled action and drop it into the chassis of your choice. But if these guns shot so well consistently, you could put it up in F-T/R
It's not any of those rifles, to even shoot in a PRS match with one you would want to heavily modify it. Weight system, added rails, some sort of round that has less recoil than a 6.5cm, you could run that but there is a reason why everyone is running 6mms with 26" barrels. Then you would burn out your barrel in training. Most civilians that buy them are people that get it, say wow that's cool and then put it in the safe.

LE sniping doesn't require 1/4 MOA.
I do own the tac ops and I can routinely lay down and shoot 1/4". I'm shooting 6.5 creedmoor with factory hornady ammo. I've shot with some local guys back home that win with prs a lot and they said it was a really accurate gun, it's not a prs gun though. I wanted to shoot at K&M with it but didn't get the chance. I'll try this year to shoot at least 2 matches with it if I can, everything is 3 hours or more away and not very frequent. I could throw it into a chassis but I love the stock.
Ummm, when you are trying to not shoot a baby but the dude holding it with a gun to it's head you want as much accuracy as you can get. The T box is smaller than just someone's head and you need to hit that to make sure they don't twitch and pull the trigger on a hostage. I'm pretty sure the people that do hostage rescue, and anti terrorism know what they are doing when they select a rifle for that job.

You were shooting this TacOps .308 yesterday, but no longer have access to the rounds?!! Or is your Tac Ops you don’t have access to a 6.5 Creedmoor?
No, the difference between 1/4 MOA and 1/2 MOA doesn’t equal a hill of beans unless the rifle is reliable.

Um what, when did I say the rifle I shot yesterday was a 308? I didn't, I never said what it was chambered in, it's 6.5. You are acting erratic. The rifles are reliable, I've never had an issue with mine and the LA county sheriff special teams don't seem to have issues either.

In other words you’ve got no clue what you are talking about. You haven’t had a TacOps .308 much less know how to measure a round because you said the bullet was too big.
Yes, it was an issue with Mike’s chamber job. He fixed it. Rounds that were to spec stuck in the chamber. You’ll defend your purchase to no end don’t you?
I also posted a thread in which lots of other people had issues with fgmm in guns made by other smiths, even in semi autos
And the thread didn’t have any over-size bullets. It was a lot of brass from 2020 that wouldn’t chamber in some rifles. The only person there that measured them showed they were in spec. There was a portion of the neck that was rounded. Separate issue and a decade apart from the issue you linked to.
Again, the issue I described was a bad chamber on a $6000 (in 2012) rifle.

Come on, boy. You just said you didn’t say what the rifle was chambered for. Now you said you did two pages ago? It’s still in the quote!!!
Every brand of ammo has had issues but nobody has ever seen Federal .308 loaded with an SMK over .308-.309”.
A rifle that feeds a round from the mag, but don’t extract it without the bullet sticking in the lands and dumping powder has an out-of-spec chamber. Period. Not Federal’s problem.
You may have some out of spec rounds but you’re still missing the issue.
Many booths way behind in setup due to slow load in.
Fork trucks moving in my booth got lost and I had to find them in the wilderness and guide them back.
It's like the 24hr Campfire "Brain Trust" was hired by Freeman for the move in.
Good for us we have this stuff nailed, but over many years I have never seen things this bad at SHOT SHOW.
I sort of love CHAOS so it's always fun, this year is a bit more fun.
Any ways who's at SHOT SHOW?

New Flip mount for the AGM StingIR is already a hit. Drop by the AGM Thermal Booth and see it in action for those visiting SHOT SHOW.

How big is your booth at SHOT SHOW?
Envious much? Yes , Yes you are. But the world needs ditch diggers, too.
I have never seen SHOT SHOW so far behind the curve. Carpet still not down at 5 PM.
Our booth is looking great but some of the big guys will be up all night.

You’re delusional. One of my clients has a substantial presence in Vegas this week. His contracts with .gov are in the 9 digits. Self made, Sea Bee background that built a business from his garage. 4 days a year are all you have to look forward to.
We have 200sqft which is still not a large booth. 3 Fork truck loads. 2 video displays. 12 guns on display. Dozens of suppressors. Multiple thermals including rifle mounted and vehicle mounted.
How big is your booth at SHOT SHOW?

I have never seen SHOT SHOW so far behind the curve. Carpet still not down at 5 PM.

😂😂😂
Which would probably hurt the man if it were coming from someone that has a interest in women.
You’ll probably have your house raided by your Masters who surveil your social media for simply inquiring about SHOT
😂😂👍🏼😂
Oh I think there is more chance of you getting raided and having your rights trampled in your land.
You are a hanger-on rick, and you will never be anything else. Have a nice day.
Rick has won National Championships in what might be the hardest shooting sport in the world, FITASC. Unless you have a basic understanding of shotgun shooting sports it's impossible to understand how hard FITASC is to win. That dedication to shooting translated into LR shooting.
I can say that Rick is a better shot than I am across multiple disciplines. I might have had better tags on big game and better country to hunt but there was no shot I made Rick could not have done just as well or maybe a bit better.
He is the farthest thing from a hanger-on.
Rick and I are a good example of how the 24hr Campfire brings out a better poster. We butted head pretty hard in the begining but found through open and sometimes pretty harsh discussion that we could learn from each other.
I have never met Rick face to face but I would say he is a good friend. 24hr Campfire at it's best.
That said.
It was a scant few weeks ago you advocated for me to blow my brains out over the Holidays. That seemed a bit harsh.
You, calling anybody a Cuck is hilarious! You should stick to doodling on your gym card with your butt buddies, or sucking off Burns. Lol were you actually ok with serving people at “your” restaurant knowing that you had roaches? That’s kinda F’d up! Your a F’n D’bag

Are we now "Buddies"?
Thanks JB.
Could be, but I’ve never tried to shoot clay targets with an AR though 😁
We’d probably both lash out like the enslaved JSTUART. It’s all he has.

Funny thing is, whenever anyone does a search associated with these clowns or any business they are connected with it will lead the searcher straight to these pages.
You are trying too hard ricky. You have already shown us what you are.
A hanger-on.
Yes. Just barely hanging
You got me.
I was the first National FITASC Champion to shoot every parcour wearing a feather boa and high heels.
Damn camera man made me take ‘em off for the photo on the last parcour 😝
It was a lot different than when I won the Pan-American FITASC Championship the year before (The Total Hemisphere of North and South America)
I kept them on since things were more “inclusive”
Lol
Then I won the FITASC at the National Sporting Clays Championship.
Same deal. Had to take the boa off for the awards ceremony
Same old tired rhetoric, it is all you have ricky.
Google search.
Ricky's gay roach restaurant.
We know about John Burns' hunting achievements and Rick Camuglia's shooting achievements, perhaps you can tell us JStuart about your achievements? Have you represented your indigenous community in sport or any significant shooting or hunting achievements?

Nope, nothing special here. Been a working stiff all my life with most of it being in the bush, and generally by myself.
Shot 'roos professionally for fifteen years, rabbits for three. Shore over most of the country before that, drove trucks over the rest after that...and a few other jobs to fill in.
Here is another tired old link, just like the other two clowns keep posting.
The difference is that I recognise that I am pretty much the same as the rest...and don't keep trying to sell the same useless crap to the same fawning twits that know no better.
If you don't like that then stiff shit, I don't particularly care.
Ah yes...I remember you now. You are the little pussy from this thread. The one trying to be smart about our Aboriginal citizens.
We have 200sqft which is still not a large booth. 3 Fork truck loads. 2 video displays. 12 guns on display. Dozens of suppressors. Multiple thermals including rifle mounted and vehicle mounted.

I turned this Into this In about 18 months. That’s something. Just a side gig since the wife supports me. Enjoy SHOT.

One thing I do know is that these fora are full of posters that have been around and dabbled in interesting endeavours, many of which are very successful in their fields. The brash mouthy twats stupidly believe they are special and gifted and like to browbeat everyone else they think is beneath them.
And to be frank, I don't see a problem with any legal way a man provides for his family. But maybe one needs a family to recognise this.

Considering your demeanor in this thread, that's rich. You're as big an a-hole as anyone else in here, and that's saying something. At least own it instead of acting like you're somehow above the fray

I am an arsehole when it suits me.
Now if you were honest you would wander back through this thread and note that I responded to that pair of cunts each time.
But you won't as you have firmly ensconced yourself in the burns ballwasher camp.

Jack, That is something to be proud of. Quite an accomplishment!
Professional Victims UNITE and keep pouring out your Hurt Feelers Reports. Hint.
You gals are a "rugged" lot! Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!............
Still waiting on the short, bald, fat man with the expensive cameras to post pics of his rig for shooting .2's while doing a TTT. Been waiting a while, will probably wait forever. GFY
I am VERY "surprised!" that a Professional Victim can meld Hurt Feeler Reports,"living" vicariously,countless WELL founded Insecurities and a sense of Entitlement all in one...you "lucky" kchunt. Congratulations?!?
Keep thinking about me and my wares 24/7,as it's plum flattering,while you set on the sidelines suffering being you. Hint.
Good on JSTUART for his contribution also. They call you Rambo, hey!
Well, you know how in Australia redhead fellas get to be called 'Blue', and bald headed fellas get nicknamed 'Curly'...I am such a placid easy going fella that I just naturally copped 'Rambo'.

Reminds me of an Aussie joke. A Greek guy travels to Oz looking at emigrating permanently and gets a job on a building site. The punchline is he phones his wife back in Greece after a week and says "These Aussies are a strange bunch. We have a redheaded guy here who gets called Blue, a bald headed guy who gets called Curley, and then there's me who hasn't has sex for a week and they call me That F uckin' Greek"

Deals are fun but many here might not know that I also enjoy a bit of back and forth, in a good natured way.
So a guy from the Labs in Oak Ridge stopped by and wanted us to pay to have the suppressors design run through his super computer high speed gas flow simulations to do a virtual test of how well the design worked.
I, being my usual self, explained I thought actual real sound testing was working pretty well and his super computer models were not the same, but he could purchase a suppressor and virtual test in cyber space his hearts content.
During the discussion I showed him the mono core design that he said was a K baffle design. Quite litterally as far apart in suppressor design and construction as is possible.
When I, in my usual kind manner, explained to the Rocket Scientist, with the super computers, that mono core design is very different than K baffle design he suddenly decided he had other places to be to sell his virtual cyber space suppressor testing using super computers.
Wyoming Governor came by and ordered vehicle mounted thermal and suppressors.
Anyway back in the Hotel and just knew all you guys were sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for an update.

Short barrel 7-08 guys who hunt with them get to shoot occasionally without earplugs. I am a firm believer in the Kaw Valley linear compensators. They are not heavy and only cost $50. They eliminate that ice pick sting that leaves your left ear buzzing for a few days! FYI

Why not a can? All my hunting rifles have cans now. I consider it uncivilized to NOT have one if they're legal.
Poked a Seex Creed spout on The 'Horn's Sig(formerly 308Win). I'm thinkin' the AI AT-X Seek Kreed will rate more focus. Poked a K&P Dasher spout on my AI AT-X and need to sort it out and mount glass. Hint.
Glass accrues,as do new rifles,though I'll bang it out. Hint.
Reupold HILARIOUSLY set the bar with their Flagship,by arranging 2" 50yd "groups" due erector travel,upon a World Class Platform. Hint.
Not yet,perhaps today. Shot all day with The 'Horn yesterday and the NIB 5-20x HD Mil/Mil Lit Bitch was sensational to 1350yds,ala Dasher. .620 BC's at 2820fps from the 21" 1-7 K&P and it's a rather impressive platform. Poked a upper rail on it this morning. Hint.
The Barkin' Arken LH-4 has some seriously nice feature sets,with surprisingly good illumination(MUCH better than the above 5-20x HD's). Thinking I'll toss one aboard newest 8" Teeker 223,in a CTR handle,then flog on it. Hint.
Want to do a TTT on the '8x Trijicon,but might just slap it aboard a Bear Rifle and shoot come ups. One KNOWS going in,that they are farrrrrrr more trustworthy than a Reupold. Hint.
Not enough hours in the day. Hint.................
A Dremel has never aspooked me. Barrel contour and case capacity is factored,which is why a Free Ride here,to soak up a portion of the 40 MOA inclination. 8.3 oz difference betwixt it and the LW Barkin' ARKEN. Hint.
The parcel handles nicely and I will do my best to love the Nightfarce,despite it being SFP and I MUCH prefer a rheostat for illumination control,rather than a push button menu. We shall see how it shakes out in The Real World. Conditions seem nice and am waiting for The 'Horn to call. Hint.
A Lilja that The Kali Kid installed and I swiped from someone. It will play nice with my others. Hint.
New Record? Hint.
The Trijicon's zoom selector isn't dainty,though eye relief exceedingly forgiving. Couldn't see giving ER away,or jumping to taller rings. The parcel is fast and forgiving and fingers are crossed,that it tracks,repeats and holds zero. If so,I'll poke another on a 375 H&H. Hint.

Like the stock. Put a Trijicon on my 375 H&H for the Alberta hunting buddie to take to Africa for his Safari. Seven dead animals including Cape buffalo.... Worked like a charm. dave
Yeah a 22 Creed Montana would be a killer alpine rifle. My 6.5 creed might be getting nervous. Lol
You aren't kidding. The nice thing with them, is it is a barrel swap since you don't have to swap stocks and triggers. Just finding a darned 84M these days is a search!
Sako stock patterns,are tough to whoop and that rifle shoots VERY soft. The scope,strikes me as a nice melding,though I wish EO had Mil/Mil at the time. Hint.
I have lotsa 224,243 and 264 Kreeds,with a Montucky being a FAVORITE. Due COAL,the 224 is the best fit of the trio and 88's are wicked/mean fhuqkers. Almost threw the NXS FFP 2.5-20x aboard the Montucky Speedmire and hang the 2.5-10x NXS on the Mouser Montucky,to steer 180's. We shall see. Running to meet The 'Horn and shoot the place up. Hint.

A LA followed me home this afternoon. Might even shoot the donor tomorrow just for the hell of it. It won’t be a needmoor either way.

The NXS '10x,did nice things mechanically,as expected. 10 Mil's per rev,a rheostat,FFP,locking turrets and parallax adjustment,would be NICE things. Probably toted too many rifles today and knew going in,that it's fodder would be soft(88's/2915fps) and it was,due a propellant swap for R&D. Instead of kiss,find pressure and rock on,I loaded 20rds on the safe side,because it was late and I was in a hurry. Sooooooo nice to shoot sound internals however,when it comes to gunning an initial zero and come-ups. It's allllll I can do,not to slam the NX8 2.5-20x Mil-XT,aboard the Montucky Speedmire. Hint.
The Trijicon was wayyyyyyyy warmer/fuzzier,before shooting it. I told The 'Horn,"If this thing behaves at ALL,I'm buying another for a '375". Fatal words. There's nothing redeeming thus far,in it's tracking and some SERIOUS Discrepency between projected come-ups and actual,to the tune of 25%+ at the 650yd line. The Horn's 1-6x version struggles too,though on a 416 Rem. I'm going to flog on it's adjustments,then revisit the scenario,to see WTF. With the former BTR Gen2 2-12x FFP Mil/Mil LitBitch,it was rather impressive,out much farther than that. Nothing has changed ammo wise,as it's the same Lot. Hint.
The Barkin' Arken LW '16x Mil/Mil FFP LitBitch is mechanically sound and it's a rather nice bullet steering device. It's fascinating to me,that a sub $210 scope has better mechanics than the $1900 Trijicon Credo 1-8x and/or the $1999 Reupold MK5 HD 3.6-18x. Night and day DISTINCT differences,which are beyond disappointing. Even though it's my loot,it's fhuqking FUNNY. Hint.
Nearly a $4K soaking,to yield less than $210 mechanics. The MOST important part of a bullet steering device,is the schit you can't see and gotta shoot to resolve. Hint.
Knowing beats the schit outta guessing,but now I KNOW. Hint.
The Winny Tree Turdy Ate is an exceptional rifle and I figured it to be a Slam Dunk,but alas. Done what I seldom do and "massaged" the erector last night,by treating it like a Swiffer 6X MQ.(grin) Will be curious to see what zero did after same and I'm going to shoot TTT's today,to see WTF. Will have a box of NIB and "reserve" glass in tow,to get to The Finish Line. Hint.
The Barkin' ARKEN 1-8x rates a Test Drive,found an as NIB Swiffer 1-6x HD MQ LitBitch and after a rethunk,went yet another direction on Speedmire propellant. Will either Vudoo or Anschutz,for an even more finite Investigation. Hint.

I've lotsa 224 and 243 AFI's with rails,in both Manual and Automatic Transmissions. Opted to Vudoo,if only as per mostly always. Hint.
Did The Super Flog on the Trijicon last night/this morning(1000+ MOA on erector) and did same this morning on the HILARIOUS Reupold MK5,over a pot of coffee. Hint.
Met The 'Horn like we've done all week,but had too many platforms for (1) Crummy,so we both drove. I emptied a box of "stuff" on the tailgate of mine and with birds singin' and sun shinin',tempted the REALITIES of Fate,once again. I'd stripped my Big Vudoo of it's heralded glass(Swiffer 5-20x HD MQ FFP LitBitch) and figured "fhuqk it!" and slammed the Goat Fhuqk Reupold MK5 aboard again. Checked fasteners and shot a quick 50yd zero confirmation,which involved purposely shooting staples in half. Then off we go. Hint.
With a Daisy fresh plumb bob,we hung a 50yd TTT. I forgot my Sword Fighting Square,so rather than trace a poor vertical line,I colored the twine holding the 'bob(Horn's idea). Then I/we marked off 5,10,15 and 20 Mil vertical hashes. I started with gentle hands and shot Zero,5,10 and 15 Mil marks,which roughly jived. Their discrepancies could be factored,as it were lineal. From there,I whirled/twirled as initially tested and shot in varying degrees of erector travel,rather than a lineal ascent. It was akin to screwing in an Improved Cylinder "choke". Hint.
I mentioned how erector travel was 11 Mil's per revolution and that cost me some time,as The 'Horn tried to recover from his eye-watering laughter,in regards to same. There I sat laughing too,at Reupold Dumbfhuqktitude(again) and denoting that "11" only shines brightly on guitar amps. Long story short,"results" were fhuqking DISMAL. Hint.
As per prior,I had been traveling the erector from it's 50yd zero stop,to the limits of the system(23 mil's) and then touching zero as a base,then dialing the solution. That in conjunction with rolling the zoom from start to stop (2) times). It was like Biden trying to pick up a bar of soap in the sink. UGLY. Hint.
The Horn's next idea(I'm throwing the Goat Fhuqk off a cliff),is to factor the erector and the zoom,in different operations. So with erector untouched and zoom fhuqking SWUNG,it'd touch bullet holes like an 18lb Bart' barreled,McMillan stocked,2-ounce S/S Shilen trigger USUALLY does. Hint.
Next move was to SWING the erector,less zoom manipulations and it was fhuqking HORRIBLE. Hint.
Static zoom shift lower cluster and erector shift above. Hint.
Notes on the fly,so it don't go in a dumpster. Hint.
The 'Horn has Trijicon Hope. I pulled the scope and looked at the fore base fastener(which wasn't touching the barrel shank) and filed a thread away,as Therapy. Hint(grin)
We've differencing opinions on scope behavior(I'll smash schit with a hammer and toss it,before he will) and I'll load FF'd cases with 230 ELD Smooches tonight,as to delve deeper. While the Reupold MK5 is an ABSOLUTE Goat Fhuqk Piece Of Schit,the Trijicon,swings in the balance. Hint.
Upside to the day,is the NXS 2.5-10's happiness to please. I swapped propellants and their charge weights on the Liljee Speedmire Montucky,so as to reap higher load density. Such things tend to reduce ES/SD and the shift to a slower 'rate,eeked 85fps. ES/SD was in single digits and the NXS was/is EVERYTHING the Reupold MK5 is NOT. Hint.
I was an A2 fan from inception,whether Custom or OEM. Hint.

I bought a Trijicon last year based on good reviews. Mounted it. Started shooting adjusted. It moved half what I dialed in. failed left on the 7th shot. Never could get it zeroed. I sent it back for repair. I was hoping yours was reliable. Most expensive scope I ever bought and didn't last a box and didn't dial right from the start. I was hoping yours was reliable.
Sadly,there's minimal Trijicon presence in my AO. I've ACOG'd happily,but the folks I know/trust,who actually shoot...have a Trijicon scope disdain. I'm on the fence,because this $1900 Goat Fhuqk IS fickle. Hint.
I have ZERO allegiance and am LAUGHING,that ARKEN crushes all these things,because they simply focus internals. Hint.............

So far as I can see he isn't selling anything here.
The anklebiting around here is bordering on pathological. It seems that for some people, the vast majority of their posts are spent chasing one or two individuals around the forum, nipping at every opportunity.

Yeah, some people sure have changed their demeanor and gotten pissy of late. I don't understand the perverse enjoyment they seem to get out of it. Maybe they think it reflects well on them.

They are in this forum for 16 hours a day doing it too. Don’t they do anything else? I wonder if a lot of that is the result of someone going through a divorce or alcoholism. Fill the void with being an twat on Internet forums.

Four so far with zero problems, but everybody makes a clunker from time to time.

Very FEW folks(if ANY),actually shoot a TTT to see what's up,regarding mechanics. Hint.
I've personally ZERO fhuqking interest,in making excuses for Bullet Steering Devices and find it warm/fuzzy when they've PROVEN sanctity. Hint.
As of this very moment,I'm lukewarm at best,regarding my 1-8x $2000 Trijicon. Though in fairness,my ACOG is fhuqking unerring in it's mechanics. Hint.
Lying/Crying/Whining Brokedicks,will ALWAYS have "reason" to complain,which is never not fhuqking HILARIOUS. Hint.
Added a NX8 1-8x F1(capped) FC-DMx #663 to the larder yesterday. Be curious to see how it tracks/repeats and the 10 ounce weight savings,likely won't suck. Hint.
Tracking,return to zero and repeats are EASILY arranged with goods of repute and sadly,Reupold isn't anywhere NEAR the ilk mechanically. Keep Pretending aloud though,as The Whine and Hurt Feeler Reports are plum soothing. Hint.
I didn't read through this whole thread. How did the Leupold track?
Missed this. Hint.
In summation the Reupold MK5 HD I received,is the biggest piece of mechanical fhuqking schit,I've ever received that has a lens. It is AMAZINGLY fhuqking schitty,in all fairness. Hint.
I'll feign my GREAT "surprise",that you "live" vicariously,glued to my EVERY Word and Splendid Pixel,with your Professional Victim Brokedick Whine. Hint.
"You're" is admittedly a VERY "big" word for someone like you,as you wonder aloud why you are a Drooling Brokedick,"living" vicariously. Perhaps shoot for the stars and cite how many times a day you think about me,in order to connect more dots obliviously. Hint.
Your inability to even begin to keep pace,"surprises" ONLY you. Hint.
Haven't been on the campfire in a minute. Glad to see some things don't change. I'll be checking back in for thoughts on the NF. I have a the one above in black uncapped. It seems the only thing it lacks is parallax adjustment, but still shines on the ar's.
Professional Victims abound are forever filling out Hurt Feeler Reports. Hint.(grin)
As to the NX8 1-8x Capped Bitch and it's Uncapped Cousin(first offerings),the reticle is where the game really changes. the FC-DMx reticle comes ONLY in the capped version. Hint.
Uncapped reticles here. Hint.
Capped Bitch's reticle here. Hint.
NightFarce struggles in quite a few areas,but The Capped Bitch is hitting on all cylinders. Firstly,the reticle is killer. Nextly,illumination is great and controlled via rheostat,rather than push button bullschit. The feature sets plays VERY nicely together and it's easy to hold hard. For me,the reticle improvement is a bigger win,than parallax adjustment. Currently a Monsoon/Hurricane and there's no Iggles setting in a tree out the kitchen window,or I'd grabbed a few frames to extrapolate the splendor(s). Hint.
Impetus for me,is aboard a Pickle Bear Rifle..THE one you want in your mitts,when you get into a pickle. Hint.(grin)
Is Liar Larry is pretending to be a grammer master again, when he can't string two coherent words together, let alone perform a simple test on any optic or rifle? HINT
His spellchecker looks like a breathalyzer at O'Grady's Pub on March 17th.
I savvy. DMx seems very much like the BTR mil. I was drawn to the simplicity of the FC-MIL, everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. Illumination being done right doesn't hurt either.
I've been using the an FC-MIL and FC-MOA for a while. The center dot is too heavy and I could do without the outer segmented circle...stuff gets covered up. Have wished many times that the adjustments were in .1 mil rather than .2. Love the exposed elevation and capped windage. I have to adjust the focus a touch when I get above 6x. Still, I like the little scope.
I'd love to see a "Hunter" version of the 1-8: - x42 on the objective - FC-MIL with center dot sized the same as the DMx, segmented circle removed - exposed elevation, .1 mil adjustments - capped windage
If something RELIABLY tracks/repeats,I can suffer a hit on erector graduations,if forced and especially on a Killing Rifle. While the Reupold MK4 M3 6x wasn't my favorite in regards to same,it at least would do as asked and hold zero. That's a fair trade in my book,especially as Reupold goes. The DMx is a lesser graduation(.2 Mil vs 1 MOA) and the DMx has nearly twice the erector latitude,which is both warm and fuzzy. Hint.
To submit NightFarce NX8 Dreams aloud,I'd want 2-16x FFP x42mm objective,retain DMx,add parallax,10 Mil's per revolution on the erector,capped windage,zero stop and elevation turret lock. Which chases the tail of the 2-12x BTR Gen2 Mil/mil FFP. Hint.
For me on the DMx 1-8x,it'll default to 6x for Utility,as that is VERY familiar territory for me. Hint.

I'm simply the guy who shoots it all and then some,while Professional Victims such as yourself,set astride your Couchbound Kchunts and Whine about your Do Nothing Drooling Brokedicktitude,while "living" vicariously. Hint.
Keep stealing Avatars and Pretending aloud. Pardon wares that exist,as you fill out Hurt Feeler Reports and extoll your very WELL founded Insecurities. Hint.
Nope but am soon going to re test my old 7x57 to see how well it shoots after a couple decades as a bad weather hunting rifle. Remember any pictures of targets you post must be signed and dated by a reliable individual. Do you know anyone like that?

He declared such things as impossible,mainly because he couldn't find a co-signer for a Bart' barreled Vudoo and remains in Hurt Feeler Reports Mode. No "surprises" there. Hint.
Ooooopsie! Fhuqking thing is so little,I nearly forgot. Hint.(grin)
Hoping my 62 ELD VT's arrive today,to see if I can squirt them fast enough to stabilize in a 18" 1-9" Smooch. If not,I'll 75 Hornie HPBT and will juggle guts in accordance,to offer the Smooch COAL requisite. Hint.
Busy day. The Dude is throwing on my Racing Suspension,new rifles/scopes/bullets to dabble and only so many hours in a day. Movie/Pizza night with all the Troops,so there will be GrandBabies to chase. It's rough. Hint.(grin)
Maybe I missed it but how did the Trijicon work out. Mine that failed before initial sight in is back from them. Haven't mounted it yet to try it out yet.

I've slapped the Trijicon around pretty good and my gut hunch is to punt,but The 'Horn thinks there's merit(he was there for these TTT's and shooting to 1300yds+ both) and it's still mounted. As much as I TRY to convince myself that MOA is "viable",it remains a bitter pill. I'm torn on it's tracking and find myself making excuses for the rifle,though it's Skookum and the Trijicon is the 3rd glass upon it and THE worst performer. Hint.
The NX8 1-8x was a purchase to circumvent same,but I will gun the Trijicon again in fairness and see how the 230gr .616BC 230's behave in formed Lapooey cases,in relation to said glass. As things set now,I'd peel it and move on,but said that I wouldn't. Whatever that is worth. Hint.
You can't even make schit like that up. Whoever sold that bill of goods,needs to punch themself in the fhuqking face. 11 mil's per elevation rotation,is EPIC Goat Fhuqkery. Hint.

What is even funnier is if we took the longest good shot on game from Chucklehead #1 and added the longest good shot on game from Chucklehead #2 together there would still be lots of turret available, and one more Mil than if it was a 10.
Whining about 11 mils/rotation on a Hunting Optics forum might might not be the dumbest thing we have seen here but it's sure in the running.
That said, if one has to use their toes for counting 11 might be a difficult number.

If you need a refill for your spank bank it's simpler to just ask. I won't judge you. Don't get blisters on your soft hands or LiL Fishy from the furious friction.

It is well made and of sound design,but the platform isn't a very good one for a Tuner's greatest merit. The contour is too great and length too short,to be well suited to same. Hint.
I'm quick to chop spouts,to improve balance and handling,which steals Tuner Thunder. Hint.
Perhaps it's Reupold's new Weatherproofing Agent?!? Having bought,shot and got 100's of NIB scopes,that is a new one on me. Hint.
Beings I KNOW this receiver rather well,I was suplized to see how much windage it required for a 50yd zero. Base is the same and these rings lapped to same,expressly for Scope Test Drives. Nothing "horrid",but certainly atypical,given The Splendor of the platform. Hint.
Tastes like Reupold got another one over on me. Hint.
First (3) shots at bottom zero,with total erector travel dumped between pokes and returned to zero. That was more than a touch "revealing" at 50yds in piss flat calm conditions. Disregard shots at adjacent bull's,as I was sorting out my newest 7" S&W Model 41 spout. Hint.
Add more erector and watch the train fly OFF the fhuqking tracks. 22 Mil's(all that was available above zero) input,come back to zero and dial 15 Mil's and 20 Mil's accordingly,with a zoom selector cycle at 50yds. Zero fhuqking rhyme and zero fhuqking reason. Hint.
I've rooted harder for Reupold,than they have for themselves. I've purchased 100+ NIB through the years and it is alarmingly glaring,that they give ZERO fhuqks about wares that actually perform,in this day and age. Hint.
It's funnier than fhuqk,that I'm mired with nearly $5,000 of their wares,in only (3) items,which are ABSOLUTE pieces of fhuqking useless schit(MK5 HD,MK4 HD and Tactical FFP TMR Spotter). Hint.
Today was GLARING,in that I removed a scope that was sub $250,to replace it with Reupold MK4 HD 2.5-10x schit that was 4x more. In that "trade",I gave away illumination,parallax control,along with creature comforts(capped turrets/better reticle). Then I had to schit can ALL things on adjustment values,repeats and tracking,along with a reticle that was true in subtension value. Hint.

Cutting those barrels makes it a little easier to get a shot out the window of a truck without banging it on the steering wheel…
your right shorter rifles do work better out the window of a truck , i like my Ruger #1 220 Swift barrel 26 inches long but a Ruger #1 has about a 1 inch receiver that makes my rifle short and i still keep the barrel length.
Scope swapped to Teeker 8" RPM 223,that routinely dazzles with Lapooey brass,Lever',75 ELD Smooches and 400's. Sequential 3-shot 100yd "groups",with max erector travel dialed,then returned to zero. ZERO fhuqking rhyme and ZERO fhuqking reason,though INCREDIBLY fhuqking schitty. Hint.
Though the turret cap retaining screws on both windage and elevation are a cruel fhuqking joke,the Reupold zero stop isn't horrid. I simply returned to said stop,after dialing max elevation(only 12 Mil's available from 225yd Teeker zero) and treated the scope like one that ACTUALLY fhuqking works,though this one obviously does NOT. Hint.
I am truly fhuqking AMAZED,that they can "offer" schit THIS fhuqking horrible. Disheartening,that I am rooting harder for them,than they are themselves. Hint.
The Teeker will get returned to it's former glory and yet another NIB Reupold is destined to perpetually ride the pine. Barkin' Arken to THE Rescue,yet again. Hint.
