There are threads with folks asking, "What optic for 300 yards?" or "what optic do you recommend for under $X?"

I am asking something different.

What optic are you running on your rimfire, and, more importantly, why?

I am hoping for a lot of responses giving a wide variation of scopes for rimfire use and their various features that you find useful. Hopefully, you can add one or two things you do not like about the optic, too.

This can be a good reference for others in the future trying to decide on a rimfire optic.

Lots of weirdness in the world right now, so when you need a break pop in for a daily distraction ‘s

Optic is in like new condition, just out of the box.

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest 'member' she had ever laid her hands on.
I said "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!!
At least I presume she was poor – she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend, yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So, I went back to the thrift shop and got all of her clothes back.

At the Senior Citizens Center they had a contest the other day. I lost by one point:
The question was: Where do women mostly have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer was Africa.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook.
I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

Gonna have to start getting this over here. Thank God it's only 11 pages.

I just bought a NIB El Paso Weaver T10 for $30 as the objective has the "fungus" desease.
Does anyone have a drawing that show how the internals are assembled?
I'm located in Europe so sending the scope to a US shop for service is unfortunately not an option.

I acquired a pre owned rifle that I am having an issue getting set up perfectly for my eye box.
The bolt handle on the BAT model L interferes with the mil adjustment wheel on the EraTac mount.
I have 2 slots available to move the ocular into my perfect zone. Problem is, when i move it back 1 slot on custom 18" 60 MOA(.850" high at rear) pic rail, I cant lift all the way out of battery. The action is bedded in an LRT-2 w/ABR. I mention this BC the easy fix was to push the LOP to zero. That created another problem: the aluminum rod went over the top of the ABR guide post, infringing on full travel of ABR. So I removed .250" so I could move my cheek forward on the rest. I still can't get the set-it-and-forget-it cheek weld/eyebox combo. If I shit can my custom Mirage 18' scope rail and order a new 1.00" tall(at rear), now the two post on the cheek rest are only seated(clamped) on about .200' of the guide rods when I have to raise it for new height. Very frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Went out on my cycle Sunday afternoon and it started a very light drizzle . Figured no problem keep riding. Pull into a county park and just pass thru . So at the exit I'm turning left up a steep hill . Cross the near lane , start turning , slight lean . When I crossed the center of the far lane rear tire slid . Fucking bike starts the wobble a runs me into a guard rail . When I hit the rail it leaned on the rail pushing me on an angle over . Hit about 10 supports on the backside with my right arm . Slid with the bike down the rail .
Lost a boot and got roads rash on my foot .
From the bottom of my right thumbnail to the tip is gone .
Broke my ulna and radius.
Bike ain't bad so I'm told. She's got crash bars so hoping that helped . Thinking they saved my right leg .
Go into surgery Wednesday for the forearm .

Semi or bolts let’s see some Green!

TLDR Version: This is one installment of several experiments I'm doing with various chronograph models, specifically testing the difference in velocity readings when mounting the chronographs to the rifle vs. mounting on a static fixture beside the gun, such as the supplied tripods. The expectation was that the gun mounted chronograph would read higher velocity since the unit itself is moving rearward in recoil with the rifle compared to the static mounted chronograph. This experiment confirms that expectation - the gun mounted chronographs read an average of 3.5fps faster than the static chronographs beside the rifle.
____________________________________________________________________________________________

As part of a large series of chronograph comparisons, I conducted last week a test to determine the influence of mounting doppler radar chronographs to the rifle vs. to static mounts beside the rifle, like the supplied tripods.

Experiment Overview: Gun Mount vs. Static (Tripod) Velocity Readings:

In speaking about this series of experiments with shooters around the web, many folks have mentioned that they expect to see higher velocity readings when mounting mini-doppler radar chronographs to a rifle than when using the chronograph on the supplied tripod beside the rifle, due to the fact the gun mounted chronograph is moving rearward during recoil compared to being fixed to the Earth on a static mount. To test this hypothesis, I mounted 3 chronographs to the rifle with matching units mounted on a static rack beside the rifle, and fired 30 rounds. I then swapped the units from rack to rifle and rifle to rack to allow identification of unit-to-unit offset vs. dynamic vs. static mount influence. This experiment was intended to capture and demonstrate this potential offset in speed read by gun mounted vs. static mounted units.

Aspects of Comparison:

The rifle used for this test was a Defiance Deviant Elite Short Action, Bartlein barrel 26" 1:7.5" twist chambered in 6 Dasher with SilencerCo Omega, firing handloaded ammunition:

Berger 105 Hybrid 6mm
Hydroformed Lapua 6 BR brass --> 6 Dasher (>15 firings)
30.5gr Varget
CCI BR4 Small Rifle Benchrest Primer

This comparison was made using the same 6 chronographs of 3 models:

• Garmin Xero C1 (x2 - noting, one of the Garmins used in this test is NOT the same unit as used in previous testing)
• LabRadar LX (x2)*
• Athlon Rangecraft Velocity Pro (x2)

*Unfortunately, time constraints on the day of testing and shot registry errors made the LabRadar data sets incomplete to the point of failing utility for this comparison. Additional replication of the experiment may be conducted.

As shown in other threads around the web, I built this holding fixture to allow multiple chronographs to be mounted within the specified distances from the bore and concurrently fired to limit the burden of ammunition volume required to conduct these experiments, and to allow comparison of brand behavior reflecting the exact same experimental substrate (same exact shots).



For this experiment, I partially disassembled this holding fixture and only used one upright stanchion, holding 3 chronographs, and then mounted the opposing 3 chronographs to 2 ARCA rails mounted to my rifle:




Results of Comparison:

For ease of visualization, I applied a heat map to the data captured from the 2 units of each brand, and compared the velocity readings for 30 rounds (less read failures). In the majority of readings, the gun-mounted unit detected higher velocity than the static mounted unit. Green means that unit read the faster speed between the two, red means that unit read the slower speed between the two for each respective shot. We can see that a few shots do flip flop, but the overwhelming majority of shots show the faster speed read by the gun mounted chronograph of each brand.



The Garmin mounted to the rifle during the first string produced readings which averaged 4.5fps faster than the Garmin mounted on the static rack, and exhibited the faster speed 20 out of 27 readings. The Athlon mounted to the rifle read the higher velocity than the static-mounted Athlon in 20 of the 30 readings, and averaged 2.4fps faster than the Athlon on the static rack.



To evaluate whether the offset observed between the two units was caused by the mounting position rather than caused by inherent offset between the units (meaning maybe one unit always reads faster or slower than the other, no matter where it would be mounted), the units were swapped from the static mount to the gun and vice versa, and the same results persisted - the gun mounted units registered faster speeds for the majority of shots than the unit mounted on the static rack. Swapping the position of the units, the velocity offset also swapped. The Gun Mounted units again displayed the faster velocity than the static mounted units from each brand, again visibly represented here by the red/green heat map. For each, individual shot, the faster reading between each brand (green) was registered by the gun-mounted unit, faster than the static mounted unit.



In the second series, the Gun Mounted Garmin registered the faster speed than the Static mounted Garmin for 27 of the 30 shots, averaging 3.3fps faster. In 22 of the 30 shots (one tie), the Gun Mounted Athlon unit registered the faster speed than the Static Mounted Athlon, averaging 3.9fps faster than the static unit.



Across both series, the gun mounted Garmin recorded the higher velocity in 47 of the 57 shots fired, and the gun mounted Athlon recorded the higher velocity over the static mounted unit in 42 of the 60 shots they recorded. The average offset for all shots was 3.5fps faster reading on the gun mounted units than the static fixture units.

Further visualizing these trends by plotting the velocity readings for each unit, we can see the faster trend for the gun mounted unit over the static mounted unit, and can see the swap in the trend for each unit when they are swapped between the rifle mount and static mount.

Depicted here are the trends for each Garmin unit - Garmin 1 started the experiment on the static rack with Garmin 2 on the rifle (actually Garmin 3); during this phase, Garmin 2 read the faster speed as mounted on the rifle than Garmin 1, which was mounted on the rack. When swapping Garmin 1 onto the rifle and Garmin 2 (3) onto the rack, the trends swapped and the gun mounted unit again rose to the top of the trends.



This was also observed for the Athlon units. Athlon 1 was mounted to the rifle for the first half of this test, depicted in the dark green line, which carried (predominantly) above the static mounted Athlon 2. When swapping the two units, moving Athlon 2 to the gun and Athlon 1 to the static mount, the Athlon 2 shifted to the higher velocity over Athlon 1, trading the teal line above the dark green line.



Conclusions and Considerations of Comparison:

One conclusion I'm drawing for myself out of this experiment is that I should repeat the this with a few modifications which I believe will 1) improve the data integrity by establishing a standard offset, a normalization factor, between each of the units before introducing the mount variable, 2) corroborate and supplement findings from this test, and 3) successfully execute the experiment with the LabRadar LX's. I was pressed for time during this test, and wasted a lot of time fighting with the LX's, so I eventually just gave up - I missed shots with one of the LX's on nearly half of the shots, which made it impossible to determine during analysis which shot records from one really lined up with the records from the other unit, so I trashed the data.

I also recognize that I changed one of the Garmins I was using in this test compared to previous experiments, and I do not yet have a normalization factor, a standard offset, for the new Garmin vs. my other Garmin. In other experiments, I identified that my two previous Garmins averaged only 0.54fps difference for any given shot, and never exceeded more than 2.4fps difference for any shot in a test including over 100 rounds, so I could be more confident that the 3.5fps average offset is normalized across the units - but because I used a new, 3rd Garmin, I can't be sure the same 0.54fps average applies, and need to establish a new normalization factor. Repeating this experiment, I will include a 3rd phase in which I will shoot 25-30 rounds with the units both in static mounts to allow determination of the standard offset factor, then repeat the 25-30 round test with one gun mounted and one static mounted, and again swap for a final, 3rd phase of another 25-30 rounds with the units swapped from gun to rack, rack to gun.

Considering the specific results for this experimentation, I consider the hypothesis to be confirmed that gun-mounting mini doppler radar chronographs will produce higher velocity readings than using the chronographs mounted on their supplied tripods or other static mounts. The offset for this load and rifle was 3.5fps faster reading for the gun mounted unit over the static unit. This, of course, reflects the specific recoil velocity of my cartridge/load and rifle used for this experiment.

Well, it had a noble mission in the beginning. It’s been turned into nothing but a giant funnel for stealing money from taxpayers and screwing over countries all over the world with strings that they didn’t want.

Massive waste of American money and influence. Because everybody who was involved in, it was a socialist Pushing a non-American agenda.

Fucking awesome!!
