Hunting scope below 3x to 15x or higher (<$2000)

I put together a REM700 LTR, 20” 6.5 Creedmoor. It weighs 8.5# with a 0.750” muzzle. Looking for the ideal scope. So far I’ve determined the NF NX8 2.5-20 to be ideal. Before I pull the trigger, I wanted to see what else might be worth considering, especially at lower prices. Trijicon Credo 2.5-15 and USO 2.5-20 both look good, but I don’t know how they compare to NF. They both cost less and the Credo can be found used for $700-800 AND weighs 6 oz less.

My criteria is:

  • 2.5X or below (Edit: really the FOV is what I’m after here. Some 3x have just as much FOV)
  • 15x or more
  • weighs below 30 oz, but preference points for every ounce lighter.
  • either SFP or FFP is fine for my purposes
  • must be mil/mil or moa/moa
  • below $2000, but ideally closer to $1000
  • length is not a deal breaker, but would prefer a more compact scope 12-14”
NX8 - 2.5-20x50 - 28.6 oz, 12.1”, FFP $1800-2000
Credo - 2.5-15x42 - 22.9 oz, 13.9”, SFP, $700-900
USO - 2.5-20x50 - 28.7 oz, 14.6”, FFP, $1100-1300

Inflation Crisis: Cost of Beer Must Rise to £20 a Pint, Industry Tsar Warns



The cost of a pint of beer (16 ounces) must rise to up to £20 (~$23.00) if British pubs are to stay in business this winter, an industry bigwig has said.
UK pubs will only be able to stay in business if customers are forced to pay up to £20 (~$23) a pint, an industry expert has said, begging the government to “start stepping in and doing something”.
Warnings have already abounded about the threat the current energy crisis poses to UK bars and restaurants, with reports indicating that small businesses across the UK are struggling to even sign new energy contracts due to suppliers fearing that their customers simply will not be able to pay up when the time comes.
Such fears do not seem to be at all unfounded, with Tom Stainer, the Chief Executive of real ale campaign group CAMRA, telling the Daily Star tabloid on Sunday that the only way pubs will be able to pay their energy bills this year is by raising the cost of a pint to between £15 to £20 (~$17 to ~$23).
“We’re seeing pubs where their energy costs are going up by not just a little bit — we’re talking 500 per cent to 600 per cent,” Stainer reportedly told the publication, emphasising that his industry was now in a “real crisis”.
“[H]ow much would 500% be on a £5 pint?” he went on to ask. “[Y]ou’re talking ridiculous amounts of money, 15 or 20 quid for a pint.”

Calling all New Yorkers

As a life long libertarian I never thought I'd be saying this. Sharpe is polling at 2 percent...And I'm not voting for him. On Lee Zeldins website, you can donate and volunteer to help knock on doors and make phone calls etc.

I know a lot of Fudds yesterday alone that got a reality check when they went to buy ammo at bass pro, runnings Cabela's etc.

I love this state. It has some of the best fishing and hunting in the country. Tell your friends, family, anyone. Spread the word. Zeldin is only trailing by 4 points right now. We can end the tyranny, or at least partially at the ballot box.

CNN’s new CEO

According to a couple of news outlets CNN’s new CEO is purging the “woke” crowd from their ranks.

“Fearlessly speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, questioning ‘group think,’ and educating viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, while always being respectful of differing viewpoints.”

Chris Licht letter to CNN staff

I guess CNN was fine with the get woke part but the board of directors wasn’t fine with the go broke part.

Time will tell

Judge grants Trump bid for special master in document search


WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Monday granted a request by former President Donald Trump’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home last month and also temporarily halted the Justice Department’s use of the records for investigative purposes.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon came despite the objections of the Justice Department, which said an outside legal expert was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. The judge had previously signaled her inclination to approve a special master, asking a department lawyer during arguments this month, “What is the harm?”

The appointment is likely to slow the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials for investigative purposes. But it is not clear that it will have any significant effect on any investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe.

Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020, said she would permit the continuation of a risk assessment of the documents being conducted by the U.S. intelligence community.

Trump’s lawyers had argued that a special master — usually an outside lawyer or former judge — was necessary to ensure an independent review of records taken during the Aug. 8 search. Such a review was necessary, they have said, so that any personal information or documents recovered by the FBI could be filtered out and returned to Trump and so that any documents protected by attorney-client privilege or executive privilege could also be segregated from the rest of the investigation.

The Justice Department had argued against the appointment, saying it was unnecessary since it had already reviewed potentially privileged documents and identified a limited subset of materials that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.

It also said Trump was not entitled to the return of any of the presidential records that were taken since he is no longer president and the documents therefore do not belong to him. And personal items that were recovered were commingled with classified information, giving them potential value as evidence, the department has said.

Who is this 3% they speak of…..

What’s the point (barking dogs)

So got a couple around here, things are constantly going off like broke car alarm

And it’s the same thing, I mean I get having a dog that will alert, if anything mine has a VERY high threshold before he will make a sound, but having a dog that’s ALWAYS yapping, I don’t see the point, people ain’t constantly waking their house with their pistols every time a leaf falls and the damn dog goes off again, seems like a never ending false alarm

So folks with yapping dogs, what is the appeal? Just too lazy to train the pup, think it scares someone? I’d imagine if it’s annoying to be down the street from it, living in the same house as the yapper must be a hoot

[rant off]
