The changes over 50 years are profound.

This will help. Ringo Starr is 83 years old now. It seemed not too long ago he was one of those mop topped Fab Four who changed music? He is 83 now.

I have had my very first migraine (I am almost 50). How the hell do people live with these things for years?? This one has lasted 24 hours I am ready to crwck my head open to relieve it. GOD willing I will never have another

Yet again, one of us "poors" is looking for advice. I'd appreciate any help if I can get it too.

Background: My use is for informal paper punching at 100 (about 10% of the time), and steel targets out to 900 at max, usually 750 and in (the other 90% of the time). I do not need extreme lowlight performance for hunting as I use a thermal for nighttime eradication. I will not be hunting with the rifle probably at all. I do not shoot PRS, benchrest, or F-Class...However I do enjoy shooting from different positions, as well as testing my individual skill levels at distance at reading wind etc... I do not need alpha glass. I am looking for durability, repeatability first, as it will go on quite a few SxS rides around the ranch. The rifle that this will be going on is an AI AT-X. Yes, I can hear some of you groaning right now that I am cutting myself $2K short of an acceptable starting point . I've spent $5K on optics before, but those are tools with real uses. This is for fun, and I am always looking for a best 'bang for the buck'. I'd also like 30x up top for trying to wring out the load development.

Currently my best daytime optic is a Burris XTR III, 5.5-30, made in the US. That level of glass quality has not let me down in any situation that I've used it in. It has been extremely repeatable, and has not lost zero in the miles it has ridden shotgun across the seat of my SxS. If it weren't for the cheese grater knurling and ultra stiff adjustments, I'd really love that scope. I'm looking for just a bit of a step up.

I've found several options, but have zero time behind them. I know that many of you have multiple examples of each of these, so I'd love your opinions on why you like one more than the other:

Steiner T6Xi - I've been following the current thread quite a bit. The MSR2 reticle looks interesting, but to be honest I'm a fan of "less is more" in that I don't use christmas tree reticles or any other stadia in the glass. I dial elevation and hold wind. Not sure how much additional ranging stadia I need floating in there. I also like the locking diopter and elevation/windage turrets. I understand that this is also a CO made optic, which brings me into option #2.

Burris XTR Pro - If this is a step up as everyone says it is from the older US made XTR III, then I'd probably like it. I do like the ability to switch the elevation turret as my rifle will have several different barrels for it. The elevation turret looks "old fart" easy to read (I rarely shoot with my glasses on). I just get hung up on the red anodizing on the elevation turret that doesn't lock. Seems like I'm stuck with a lot more of a christmas tree in the reticle though. I'm guessing that glass between this and the Steiner are probably about as equal as it gets.

Zeiss LRP S3 - I've also been watching the current thread on this one a lot. Seems like it might have a few more people agreeing that the glass may edge out the other previous two options by just the slightest. I have recently worked with a new Conquest that my brother had me put on his 7mag. I actually like the glass in that...the plasticky turret though and almost proprietary torx bit for adjustment I hated. I know that the LRP S3 elevation turret sticks up higher than the others - also not a fan due to storage space in the safes. The reticle looks to be the best to my eye (subjective to us all) out of these three though. However, if I'm stuck having to remember to take tools out to the range to switch zeros between cartridges I'm less of a fan. This scope is the "balancing act" for me.

Vortex Razor HD Gen 3 - I know that this one is probably the most PRS ready. I also like the reticle from all the review videos. Vortex has a great warranty...but I've had to use it a couple times (older PSTs though...not same ballpark exactly), and I'm hesitant to get another product of theirs. I still have a PST II 1-6 on a woods rifle (actually fantastic for the money), the Fury 5000 binos, and a few other Vipers from years past. I have a hard time with the color, and the heft of the G3. Maybe I'm just being a pansy.

Any other recommendations that I'm missing out on? I know that the NX8 is in this price range, but I'm not overwhelmed because the durability of so many other manufacturers has improved so much than when Nightforce owned that segment of the market. Back then I really contemplated an NXS before I bought a USO...which was still my most expensive scope purchase. The USO was a Brea CA made unit, and worked great. A divorce caused it to be sold.

So what says the 'Hide? Do you have a preference out of the 4 that I've been looking at? Thanks for your time, I know that this was a lot to read.

My real world dope never matches the numbers my chronograph spits out. My optical always read much faster than reality so I bought a Magneto speed V3 and I get the same result. Both seem to read roughly 75fps faster than reality compared to multiple ballistic calculators. At least I know to subtract 75 and I’ll be close. Now to be fair, I think these things are good reloading tools as they at least read consistent and my single digit sd’s show on steel at distance so I can use it to weed out bad loads from the get go. Does anyone else experience something similar?

I mean... the movie rights alone are going to be worth millions!

Cheers,

Sirhr (Not day drinking or anything... ) Hey It's 4-ish.

My groups seem to have gone to the birds recently.
Changed over to an open class build with a B14r but my groups are meh.
Set up: B14r, Arken ep5, Atlas CAL, ATS tuner, filled rear bag, 50 & 100 yrs outdoor range Center X and Sk rifle match.

My ARA bench production scores were around 2350 with the CZ, but now I'm down to 1800 with the same target.
When I put a Tactacam on it the other day, I noticed some heart beats transmission when centering up to fire.
Any recs on how to minimize the heart beat transmission? I'm sure that this is having an adverse effect on group sizes.

Few thoughts:
I'm shooting on a bemch, should I go prone?
My grip on the firing hand and butt end of the stock is similar to when firing centerfire. Should I lighten?
Am I rolling over my head too much? (I can usually see my bullets drop in at 100yds and don't have to adjust cant)

Thanks in advance for your help.

The existence of a masked gang of young men tying up rioters in one town is discussed in French language publications, but the mayor insists no such thing exists and tells locals to call the police if they witness unrest.

Witness accounts of a so-called “brigade anticasseur” (anti-thug brigade) in the port town of Lorlent, Brittany are reported by local newspaper Le Télégramme. In addition to what is reported by members of the public to the paper, a journalist for the publication claims to have seen a group of between 20 and 30 “young, hooded men” wearing balaclavas and gloves performing unofficial arrests.

Using zip-ties to restrain alleged rioters, the men are said to have then handed their captures onto the regular police on Friday night as well as having been seen putting out fires. Described as strongly physically built, fast-moving, and proceeding in a tightly-packed group, a report in Ouest France says one member of the group told a journalist that he couldn’t reveal their identities but that “we are on the good side” and that the group was a spontaneous meeting of friends to protect the city-centre.

The paper claims to have witnessed the group arresting a rioter thought to have vandalised a local business, restraining the individual with “visibly well-honed technique”, as well as punching a rioter in the face. While police officers on the scene talking to the paper say they don’t know who the group are, they are welcoming of the help.

One officer is reported to have said to Le Télégramme: “We let it happen at the start of the evening, because it relieved us”.

Local station J’aime Radio claims to have spoken to members of the group on patrol again two nights later, interviewing them anonymously. One who spoke to the station said at first a group of friends decided they wished to stand side-by-side with police but not get involved, but eventually having seen how overwhelmed the small number of officers were becoming compared to the weight of rioters, they felt obliged to get involved.

When asked by the interviewer if the group had any “far-right” connections, a woman replied that: “no, we are just people who want to save France, because France is going to ruin”. She further added that it was their belief the killing of an Algerian-heritage teen by a police officer last week is just being used as an excuse for rioting and looting by youths.

A man added “we are patriots who love France” and that if rioters only had trouble with the police, they could understand that, but the attacks on private businesses for looting underlined the true cause of the violence. He said it was unacceptable to see a small business owner, who may have invested his whole life of savings, and all his energy, see his hard work “go up in smoke” because of looters.

Several outlets including Ouest France, Telegram and Le Figaro all point out that the town of Lorlent is home to a military base but do not go so far as to definitely assert the brigade’s members are off-duty Marines. A spokesman for the Maritime Commandos force stationed at the base is reported to have denied any knowledge of their people being involved.

Despite journalists from several newspapers reporting directly on the activities of the brigade anticasseurs, the mayor of Lorlent moved quickly to dismiss speculation, insisting the vigilantes didn’t, in fact, exist at all. Centre-right UDI party mayor Fabrice Loher said: “In response to a rumour: no, there is no “militia” working alongside the police! Our citizens are called to call… to report any public order issues.”

Generally, rioters using the death of a teenager in a Paris suburb last Tuesday as a pretext for violence and looting have been able to carry on without interruption from the rest of French society, and even the French government was relatively slow in deploying the police in force. While there were 7,000 officers on patrol the first evening of rioting, it took days to reverse the trend of soaring violence with an eventual deployment of 45,000 officers a night, which is still ongoing.

While there were more clashes, fires, and arrests on Monday night, numbers are considerably down on the peak of violence on Thursday and Friday. According to French Interior Ministry figures, there have been 5,821 car fires and well over 1,000 buildings damaged including 254 police stations and 243 schools, including 60 which took significant damage.

In the now seven nights of violence there have been 2,426 arrests.

Leave Joe alone he is getting results dammit! No sunshine here today he must have really blocked out the sun!! What a buffoon.

College interns designed the electrical system of the Titan submarine that imploded last month, killing all five passengers, according to a report.
OceanGate hired Washington State University Everett students to work on critical systems of the submersible, the New Yorker reported.
“The whole electrical system — that was our design, we implemented it, and it works,” former intern Mark Walsh told the school paper. “We are on the precipice of making history and all of our systems are going down to the Titanic. It is an awesome feeling!” he added.
Walsh was treasurer of WSU Everett’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Club when OceanGate’s director of engineering, Tony Nissen, offered him an internship.
Walsh opened the door for fellow classmates to intern with OceanGate, and he landed a full-time position after graduating in 2017 as electrical engineering lead at OceanGate.
“I like that we have a close relationship with WSU Everett because the interns have been so great,” Walsh said. “They’ve been taught right at WSU Everett, so this summer we’re going to be hiring more.”

“OceanGate also used interns from Everett Community College’s Ocean Research College Academy, but the school stopped offering internships with the company in 2019, according to the Herald,” the New York Post reported.

The summer following the publication of the article in the school’s paper, Ocean Gate’s former director of marine operations, David Lochridge, called the submersible a “lemon.”

Lochridge was fired in January 2018 after raising “critical safety concerns regarding OceanGate’s experimental and untested design of the Titan,” Breitbart reported.

Deep-sea exploration specialist Rob McCallum contacted Lochridge after he was terminated.

“I’d be keen to pick your brain if you have a few moments,” McCallum wrote in an email, according to the New Yorker. “I’m keen to get a handle on exactly how bad things are. I do get reports, but I don’t know if they are accurate.”

Lochridge feared publicly decrying Rush due to his “influence” and “money.”

“I think you are going to [be] even more taken aback when I tell you what’s happening,” Lochridge wrote. “That sub is Not safe to dive.”

I have a NEW LMT Defense R20 Reference rifle. This is 100% NEW. Comes with box and paperwork. I will take $2800 shipped from my FFF to your FFL. ONLY SHIPS TO STATES WHERE LEGAL!!!!

https://lmtdefense.com/product/estonia-reference-rifle/


The latest LMT international contract weapon is now available to the US commercial market. Based off the success of previous contracts and the growing popularity for modular, ambidextrous weapon systems, the R20 Rahe was bespoke built to meet the extreme needs of the Estonia Defence Force.

LMT® built this rifle with its patented Monolithic Rail Platform, the only true monolithic rail platform, milled from a single high-grade aluminum forging. Two locking bolts on the side of the receiver lock the barrel extension in place. MRP technology engages the barrel extension for a full 360 degrees and allows the barrel to be removed in seconds while minimizing point of impact shift. One receiver can support numerous barrels of varying length, material, and caliber.

Looking to change out a standard 16 in mil spec barrel on my AR10 .308, Id like to get a good Is precision barrel to take its place. What are some of the best 20" barrels for the AR10? The weapon is being built as a hog gun.

I use my 3D ELR bag for almost everything so these need a loving home. Both used very little. No stains, tears, or rips. The grippy part of the recon is like new.
