    Cheap vs Expensive Scope

    To be fair, due to the ambiguity of the OP original post, my suspicion is that is a troll post. No specifics about any scope features or mention of how the scope is to be used..... Different tools exist for different tasks and you have done that with your two samples. While I would disagree...

    Cheap vs Expensive Scope

    For pure fuddery, nothing. For actual shooting, one is a proper tool with appropriate features and the other is an adjustable wrench you are trying to use as a screwdriver. I rest my case.

    AI shooters, what espresso machine(s) do you have?

    This quote deserves to stand on its own merit.

    AI shooters, what espresso machine(s) do you have?

    Man, my concrete skills and bow kills are low and not likely to improve anytime soon! My 338 options will impress though. Currently in stable 338WM, 338NM, 338LM, and 338 Edge. Remember to keep your pinkie finger up when you take a sip!

    AI shooters, what espresso machine(s) do you have?

    Well, I sometimes shoot one so it wasn’t stopping me. I was advocating for the masses! Secondly, espresso is a peasants laxative…. Everyone knows that chai is the civilized choice!

    Barrel Profile: Heavy for Hunters

    ^^^. This is how I typically think as well. If you live at sea level and are hunting in the Rockies any cardio prep you can do is going to be crucial. Air is pretty f-ing thin at 10,000 feet!

    Barrel Profile: Heavy for Hunters

    The light and medium Palma are nice profiles and are really nice if fluted. Probably as heavy as you really want

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    The glass quality in the Gen 1 were noticeably better than the 3k. The real upgrade in the 10k was all the sensors and having AB elite onboard without having to have the kestrel. Some seriously incredible features like the compass integration with Basemap. ETA: and the fastest lasing time...

    Precision Rifle Gear Do I really NEED a Kestrel?

    I was referring more to the gaming gear than the actual skills, even though that is not how I stated it. Yes the practice of building positions, trigger control, and wind calls for example will translate very well across disciplines. There are very few shooters in their own realm of...

    Precision Rifle Gear Do I really NEED a Kestrel?

    This is where you build riflemen, not just gamers IMO. But if is a completely different shooting atmosphere than say PRS. I would imagine the round counts are much lower and a slower firing rate, focusing on first round impacts. I'm not sure that's how real world shooting goes... at least...

    Precision Rifle Gear Do I really NEED a Kestrel?

    Making up cards and calling wind is great practice and learning opportunity for beginners learning ballistics IMO. You never know when you might have to do it old school. I've done this as well. 4DOF is probably the best app for doing this. Until a guy spends a lot of time learning how to...

    Precision Rifle Gear Do I really NEED a Kestrel?

    Been there, done that. Sooner or later you end up with the Kestrel Elite and realize along the way you could have just saved your time and money. I feel there is an argument for using the phone apps with stand alone weather meters and such. It does provide the opportunity to learn more about...

    Precision Rifle Gear Do I really NEED a Kestrel?

    Custom drag models, inputting all your atmospheric data, latitude, target direction, wind direction, inclination, aerodynamic jump, etc without having to manually input it all… Also has other calculators like target speed, quick drop, etc. Why do you suppose everyone here is such a fan?
