Rifle Scopes Sub $500 scope recommendations

Are there any decent scope options under $500? I'm fairly new to the optic world and have always used basic cheaper scopes for hunting purposes and backyard plinking. I recently put together a 308 AR and I'm in need of a good optic to put on it. My primary use will be for hunting coyotes and deer as well as fun at the range. Yardages ranging from 50-500yds generally. I would like something with good eye relief and forgiving eye box as my eyes are not the greatest. Something good with low light conditions is a big thing for hunting purposes. I realize my options are pretty limited at this price point just figured I would try to get some of the best options and begin research from there. I appreciate the help.

ATF

I have a actual feel good story about a interaction with the ATF today, kind of a long story, some background, about 30yrs ago my dad who passed Feb of this year, bought some dynamite and blasting caps to blast a hole for a underground house he was planning on building, well plans changed and a few years later, he buried the dynamite ( No one remembers where and he hid the blasting caps in a 1956 ford victoria that was on his place ) so my mom decides to sell the car ,but wants to get rid of the caps . Enter the ATF , she calls them today , they agree to come and get the caps today , unbelievable, that's fast , so they show up , just one ATF and 3 EOD guys from Austin bomb squad , anyway the search the car and no caps , who knows where they got off to , but all 4 guys where as nice as could be , no dogs where shot and no one was abused or arrested, so they do serve a purpose. And are not all bad actors .

California Assault Weapon Law Ruled Unconstitutional

The Honorable Judge Roger T Benitez has struck down California's ban on "assault weapons" as unconstitutional. The state now has 10 days to request a stay on Judge Benitez's ruling or all those fin grips, magazine locks, and other crap go in the garbage and California residents get to join America again in being able to own an un-neutered semi-automatic rifle.

Of course, it's highly likely that the 9th Circuis will once again find a way to twist the Constitution into a liberal pretzel to impose a stay. Just a few weeks ago these same 9th Circuit Judges stayed a Judge Benitez ruling on standard capacity magazines with the deep and nuanced legal analysis of "we stay this ruling because we think the State will win".

So good news for California gun owners and even better entertainment for the rest of you all.

Ergonomic Office Chair Recommendations

Ya, I know, lame topic but googling "ergonomic office chairs for fidgety people who carry guns" doesn't yield a good response.

For my office guys has anyone invested in a good chair and what'd you like?

I'm an Arborist by trade and do tree risk assessments and tree health diagnosis, so half my time is on properties, but 40-60% of my time is in the office on my laptop. Knees and back just hate sitting like this and the shitty chairs we have don't make it better. I do behavioral shit to help like taking breaks, quick 5min workouts to get the blood going, etc, but I have Ulnar neuropathy in my elbows, beat up knees and lower back stiffness/sciatica.

I love my job, but reducing computer time is not an option, so looking at a nicer chair to help. Looking to stay under $500 if possible. Needs to be posture reinforcing/ergonomic. I'm 6'0" 185 if that helps. MUST be breathable or mesh like material.

Incident at Camp LeJeune

Buddy’s son is down there and his folks were freaking out because of an “Active Shooter” incident being reported last night.

Here is what CNN is saying:


In other words… nothing and Marines are close hold. Looks like might be just a one-on-one… but base was apparently under active shooter status?

So… Palestinian terrorists? Standard midweek too much drinking? Lovers spat? Overreaction by base commander? Is SOP now to declare active shooter every time a crime is committed or a truck backfires?

Anyone know what is going on? Inquiring minds want to know. The less they say, the more it looks like someone is covering something.

Rifle Scopes Anyone have a ZCO 420 Tremor 3?

I’ve google searches and it doesn’t really bring up anything. Does anyone have one?

How visible is the reticle at 4x? I don’t expect to see .2 hash marks well defined, but is the reticle usable for an aiming point without searching for it?

How is it in low light? What mag do you need to run it at to be visible the last few minutes of legal shooting light?

Does anyone in the Tampa area have a ZCO420 with any flavor reticle I could fondle in exchange for a burger and a beer?

M40A5 Surefire MB762SSAL/RE Gunbroker purchase has two notches cut out, said to be from the military armory as a removal aid???

Sorry for such a screwed-up question, but I purchased a used, vintage Surefire MB762SSAL/RE muzzle brake from a seller on Gunbroker for an M40A5 build and when I received it, I found 2 cut marks on the back of the muzzle brake that look fresh. They are not in the photos in the listing. So when I contacted the seller, he said they were put there by the armorers for the aiding of removal with a spanner wrench in case they got stuck from carbon build-up. What do you all think? I have never seen this in any of my research of M40A5 rifles before collecting the parts for my build. I chose this over the other new ones on G.B. because it was an early version before the patent number when it was marked "Patent Pending". That's why I chose his listing. And this is what I got. Any help would be appreciated. If this he is correct, I'll keep it. But if this is someone's mistake, I'll send it back. Thanks for your input!!
