Rifle Scopes Mark 4hd Out of Alignment Reticle Help/Mounting Opinions

New MK4hd. Referenced scope bottom and turret for level. Mounted to spec, and checked reticle via flashlight, off by 1.2* from turret checked with pulse. Unmounted and verified everything 2 times with same results.

I dial so am planning to follow level scope and then verify via tall target.
Am I doing the right thing here? Did I miss a step? Should I just be sending this for warranty work?

Former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez Sobs in Court as Judge Sentences Him to 11 YEARS in Prison For Bribery!



bob-menendez-1200x630.jpg



Former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, 71, sobbed in court as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery and corruption.
Prosecutors asked SDNY Judge Sidney Stein to sentence Menendez to 15 years in prison.
Bob Menendez’s lawyers initially asked for a 2-year sentence, however, after they changed it to 8 years after the judge sentenced the former lawmaker’s co-conspirators to 7 years and 8 years respectively.

#breaking: Bob Menendez now asking for EIGHT year sentence, up from the two years (or less) he asked for in writing – his lawyer Adam Fee says this is based on what happened this morning, 8 years on Daibes, 97 months on Hana. Inner City Press live tweeting below https://t.co/afqeWqUBAb

Menendez sobbed as he begged Judge Stein to have mercy on him.

Menendez: I was consumed by my service, I neglected my two children [sobs] Let me give you examples… bone marrow transplant, from a sister who was a native of El Salvador-
Judge Stein: You got her a visa
Menendez: She was denied twice. I intervened, yes

Judge Stein eviscerated Bob Menendez and called him a corrupt politician.

Judge Stein: Almost half a million dollars in your house, cash stuffed in shoes, gold bars… Hubris, you’ll have to figure it out yourself. General deterrence is important. The sentence I intend to impose is 11 years

The judge sentenced Menendez to 11 years!! This is pretty much a life sentence for 71-year-old Menendez.
The judge did not impose a fine on Menendez.
Menendez’s co-conspirators were sentenced to prison on Wednesday. Wael Hana was sentenced to 8 years and Fred Daibes was sentenced to 7 years.

Bob Menendez just arrived at Manhattan Federal Courthouse.

Menendez resigned on August 20 after then-Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other powerful Democrats pressured him to step down following his conviction.
New Jersey’s Democrat Governor Phil Murphy appointed his former Chief of Staff George Helmy to temporarily replace Menendez for the remainder of the term. In November Democrat Andy Kim won the senate election to serve with Cory Booker.
“While I fully intend to appeal the jury’s verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work,” Menendez wrote in his resignation letter to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.
“Furthermore, I cannot preserve my rights upon a successful appeal, because factual matters before the ethics committee are not privileged,” Menendez wrote.
“I am proud of the many accomplishments I’ve had on behalf of New Jersey, such as leading the federal effort for Superstorm Sandy recovery, preserving and funding Gateway and leading the federal efforts to help save our hospitals, State and municipalities, as well as New Jersey families through a once in a century COVID pandemic,” Menendez wrote.
Last summer a jury convicted Senator Bob Menendez on all bribery and corruption charges.
The jury returned the verdict following a 9-week trial. Menendez did not testify.In October 2023 Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
The indictment filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan claims Menendez “provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”
Menendez was previously hit with a second superseding indictment for praising Qatar in exchange for luxury watches.
Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez were charged with obstruction of justice in an 18-count indictment.
Special agents discovered $500,000 of cash stuffed into envelopes in closets. “Some of the cash was stuffed in the Senator’s jacket pockets. Menendez’s wife Nadine Menendez was given a “no-show” or “low-show” job, a Mercedes Benz and other things of value, US Attorney Damian Williams said last year.
“This case has always been about shocking levels of corruption, hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, a Mercedes Benz. This wasn’t politics as usual, this was politics for profit. And now that a jury has convicted Bob Menendez, his years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end,” US Attorney Damian Williams said outside the courthouse in Manhattan last year.

Nadine Menendez is set to be sentenced in March.

Plane crash At Reagan National

Just a little while ago…

Holy shit.... we are getting Forts Bragg and Benning back!!!

1738185907119.png


Today SecDef Pete Hegseth referenced both forts with their proper names and word is that in throwing out the DEI Bullshit of the last few years... these and other bases are going back to their proper names.

Yes, I know... Braxton Bragg was a second rate general... That he was a Confederate... I don't give a shit.

But Bragg and Benning have been home to (even birthplace of) thousands of soldiers and their families for generations. It's not just a fort. It's a home and a town and a community. Changing the name to appease a bunch of commie shitbags was a travesty.

And, yeah, Hal Moore (namesake for the new Fort Benning) was a hell of a guy (met him once in the 1990's when his first book came out). But they can name something new after him... Not change the name of another institution!

Now, can we also take the USS Harvey Milk out and use it for target practice? Yes, that Fucking ship named after a dick-sucking San Francisco activist faggot whose only claim to fame was getting gunned down in front of DIane Feinstein and turning her into an anti-gun-crusading China-leaking dottering POS for decades). And nuke it... don't just sink it as a reef. Don't need a bunch of gay Coral growing near some island. Do it fast before becomes the Gayest Ship in the Navy... in perpetuity?

The wins keep on coming!

Far Left will do Anything to delay the inevitable...


Republicans allowed the left to have their luggage-stealing, transvestite, fudge-packing leftist, criminal cabinet and agency heads...

But when it comes to a Republican nominees... it's delay, delay, delay... obfuscate, trash the nominees... anything. And in the case of Kash Patel.... make damn sure he can't start working for as long as possible to allow the shredding and cover-ups more time to succeed.

How many servers being wiped? How many promotions being handed out and transfers to keep shitbags 'hidden.; How much evidence of criminal behavior inside the DoJ and FBI is being destroyed or hidden before the housecleaning can begin.

It's been tradition to let a President have his cabinet. But not when it comes to the left. Note that all Biden's pardons were also 'justified and fine' but Trump's J-6 pardons are a travesty and a threat to our nation and they are going to be brownshirts and his footsoldiers... when that's exactly what ANTIFA and the Black Block and the BLM criminals have been for the left...

Well, nothing new here. Just wanted to rant this morning.

Can't wait for Patel to go medieval on the Swamp's main enforcement tool.

Exactly how important is case trimming?

Got a rifle shooting in the ones now and as I get further into the round count of the brass I start to wonder when it's going to be trim time.
It's a 6.5 creed in Alpha brass that's not pushed hard. SAAMI chamber. I flame anneal every couple of firings.
Question: Will never trimming begin to affect my groups in the future? Anyone here that shoots small groups not trimming?

Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender joins forces with Facebook

That’s right, you heard it here first folks, our very own Marxist turned capitalist flip flopper now has a rifle scope named after Facebook… eh, Meta.

Okay all joking aside, one of the most exciting optics announcements at SHOT is the new S&B Meta 3-18x42 but with a FFP flavor. Here are the specs, read them and weep, no - I mean literally weep because #FOVGate strikes again and the USA version gets shafted or restricted due to Swaro’s sketchy patent. But even with the lower FOV this could prove to be an amazing crossover optic, but where will the price land on Schmidt’s wheel of fortune, will it be $3k, $4k or maybe even $5k…
