Zeiss LRP S3 Glass SHOWDOWN vs MK5, Razor G2, Kahles, ZCO

Obviously the S3 is all the buzz. I was sent one to run through its paces, and think this thing is a really nice value with an absolutely absurd amount of elevation. They advertise 46mils or something, mine was well over 50 and tracked very well across the entire range. The glass is competitive with others as well.

Here are some comparison shots. Before the photo snobs pick everything apart, these were locked settings with a newer iphone, and track well with my (and another observer's) personal observations. The biggest gripe about these photos is that the S3 has a red coating on the glass that you don't see at all when actually using the optic, but a camera grabs it. So, as impossible as it may be, pretend that the red reflection doesn't exist.

Eyebox on the S3 is not as friendly as the S5, it is more touchy and "on/off" rather than being able to shift with a black border on one side, etc. It isn't crazy tight by any means, but the S5 is a kickass scope IMO and bats with the ZCO. Some may not like the huge turrets, but that's a conversation for another day.

Turrets feel fine, not super audible, not super mushy, not insanely crisp. I like how the windage knob is offset a bit for better viewing behind the scope. Reticle is satisfactory for my uses, weight feels reasonable, overall build is stout feeling.

Without further conversation, the unedited photos incoming. It's going to take multiple comments for all these, give me a few minutes before any responses so things can go right in order!

How Did The State Clear These Cops?


The lead detective lied on the warrant and she knew that he did and signed on to help it look better for the judge. Why? Because she was afraid of reprisal from her badge buddies.
Why did it take months for the postal inspector to refute the detective's claims? Can't cross the blue?
I hope they all get to stay in general pop.

Cocktail help

I had a previous thread asking about rye like Whistle Pig 10 year old. I have tried a few and decided to stay with it. Now, I am trying to formulate a cocktail with it. I tried 1.5 oz Whistle Pig, 0.75 oz Cointreau, and 3 dashes of Regan's Orange Bitters. I like the addition of orange flavor, but not the added roughness--the Whistle Pig alone was smoother. Can anyone recommend a change in proportions? Thanks in advance.

Night Vision Full power lasers

Not saying this is the case. This is just theoretical.

Let's just say for legal purposes, a used unit is sold by a department to a reputable dealer. The dealer then sells it to the public.. If the unit ever fails or has an issues of any kind and partially works, can that unit be sent in to the MFG to be repaired even for non-warranty repairs OR will said MFG probably keep the unit even if one can provide that they purchased the unit from a reputable dealer?

Getting a ffl to sell guns from personal collection since law change

Just wanted to see what advice you guys have on the topic. I have a few guns I would like to sell. Typically I would sell them on here or gunbroker since you never get near the actual value at a gun store. However I’m scared to do this now without an ffl since the new gun control act where they changed the wording “Section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (21)(C), by striking ``with the principal
objective of livelihood and profit'' and inserting ``to
predominantly earn a profit'';”

Just wondered you guys take on this. If it worth getting a ffl to sell one or two guns every once and awhile out of my personal collection.?

Recommendations on a pack for PRS and hunting

This will primarily be used as a day pack for matches, hiking, coyote or whitetail hunting. I'd like to be able to strap a bolt gun or an AR and tripod to the outside with at least 2500 CI in the pack. I'd like to keep it around $350 if possible. My short list so far:

Mystery ranch metcalf
Mystery ranch sawtooth 45
Sitka Mountain 2700 with kifaru gun bearer (can't find many on this one and its only rated to 45lbs so I'm a bit iffy on it)
Eberlestock G4 operator

Anybody have experience with these or have any additional recommendations?

FOIA Request Uncovers FBI Effort to Get Americans to Forfeit 2nd Amendment Rights


A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Gun Owners of America (GOA) secured release of information surrounding a form which was used by the FBI in an effort to secure forfeiture of Second Amendment rights.


Ammoland.com warned of the FBI effort in 2019, after GOA discovered the “NICS Indices Self-Submission Form” in December 2019.


The form gave Americans the opportunity to “voluntarily” give up their Second Amendment rights, allowing no means by which the forfeited rights could be resecured.


GOA filed a FOIA suit for information related to the form and its use by the FBI.

On September 6, 2022, the Daily Caller reported that GOA’s FOIA request revealed that the FBI actually took the form to the homes of some Americans, presenting those Americans with the option of giving up their Second Amendment rights:

The forms were presented by the FBI to people at their homes and in other undisclosed locations, according to bureau documents unearthed through the Freedom of Information Act by the firearm rights group GOA…At least 15 people between 2016 and 2019 signed the secret forms, which ask signatories to declare themselves as either a “danger” to themselves or others or lacking “mental capacity adequately to contract or manage” their lives.
On September 7, 2022, Breitbart News spoke with GOA VP Erich Pratt about the FBI effort and he said:

This self-reporting form became a tool for the FBI to pressure law-abiding Americans, who have committed no crimes, to voluntarily forfeit their Second Amendment rights. The agency would put the squeeze on people to surrender their rights, based simply on hearsay evidence. And then, just like Red Flag laws, a gun owner could lose their gun rights without ever appearing before a judge or jury.
Congress must investigate to ensure that this system and any forms tied to it have been destroyed, and most importantly, the officials responsible must be held to account for their actions which have betrayed the trust of the American people.
Pratt also noted, “This is just the latest example of the FBI going rogue and abusing their authority to the detriment of Americans’ Constitutionally guaranteed rights. Given the Bureau’s unwillingness to answer questions or cooperate with GOA’s investigation, coupled with a total lack of Congressional oversight, this system is likely to have been misused — and the FBI knows it.”
