Vortex 1-10

I have a Razor 1-10 and I really like it. It does really well out to 650 yards (as far as I've shot with the rifle it's on), and it's nearly as fast as a red dot up close. I think it's a great optic for an accurate 5.56 AR when weight is a consideration.

Here's a write-up I did on an LMT AR and the Vortex Razor, I give my experience about the 1-10 in the last post:

Fuck Pritzker

You forgot to mention Louisiana. There may be some argument for Florida.
It's all of them to varying degrees. Even the blood red states are being invaded and the state governments are already folding to the demands of the displaced liberals. Before long these corrupt demons will be everywhere.

Unless we peacefully split this country into 3 parts. We can stop all the fighting, everyone can have what they want.

Fuck Pritzker

Fellas, it's Illinois. They have a well refined system for making felons out of anyone who displeases the Chicago crime syndicate. They would give you a court date and send you home with a no cash bail for any crime below second degree murder (yeah, that's real), but if you got caught grabbing that flag, they'd probably dust off the electric chair and reinstitute the death penalty for one night only. These people are insane.

People who dump kittens and puppies should be strung up….

Wife and I found two kittens on the side of the road in the middle of the woods by our house last June. Someone had to have abandoned them out there. Was almost 11pm and they ran off as we got near them. Grabbed the thermal and tracked those fools down. Couple days later their sister wandered into the yard and about got hoof stomped by a deer. They were sick and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer on their own if we hadn't found them. They're my buddies now and are healthy outdoor cats doing the Lord's work of killing mice and other unwanted rodents.

Today star link support called.
I had purchased another complete kit from Home Depot.
They sent a credit for the new equipment and additional months service for the delay.
Next service ticket ask for a phone call to get things started.
Young man was polite and helpful and clearly spoke English and citizen.
A FAN FOR Now
Thanks. for the replies

Pouring a 30"×40" concrete pad on top of concrete floor?

@Aftermath I thought about the moisture issue and just framing out a base, that but I want this safe secured. I'm not concerned about anyone dragging this safe back up the stairs, but an unsecured safe can be tipped over and pushed onto its back in 60 seconds and then it's very vulnerable to a simple prying attack. (And of course I''ll be putting in motion sensors, a wifi camera, and a water sensor - all on battery backup). And roger on the dogs and the mean woman too ;)

@hollowoutadime I would love to go taller like you're suggesting (12" was my first idea), but the safe moving company uses a hydraulic stair climber that can lift a maximum of 8" so I'm somewhat limited.

@redneckbmxer24 @ironpony52 good call on the carpet just being a sponge to hold moisture against the safe. You're right. I'm deleting that from my plan. It will just be the concrete pad plus a 1/4" sheet of solid HDPE on top as a moisture barrier.

@everyone - yes the room does have an 8" floor drain. I'm going to look into installing a sump pump as well, although that will be a future project. But the prior owner said he had never had water in the basement in the 33 years he lived here and I believe him, the carpets and drywall are all original and there isn't a single water stain anywhere.

Calvin Graham started shaving at age 11—not because he needed to, but because he wanted to look older. He practiced speaking in a deep voice and standing tall, hoping no one would guess the truth.At just 12 years old, Calvin did the unthinkable.He forged his mother’s signature, lied about his age, and enlisted in the United States Navy during World War II. By the time most kids were learning cursive, Calvin was aboard the USS South Dakota, fighting in one of the fiercest naval battles of the Pacific.He was wounded by shrapnel, but instead of seeking help, he pulled other injured sailors to safety. For his bravery, he was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart—all before his 13th birthday.Then the truth came out.Calvin was discharged for being underage. His medals were revoked. His benefits denied. For decades, he was treated like he never served. It wasn’t until years later that his awards were restored and his record made right.He may have lied to get in—but he never lied about his courage.Calvin Graham was a child soldier who fought for a country that almost forgot him. But history remembers.#WWIIHero #CalvinGraham

Precision Rifle Gear Chad vs Botnia

Performance equals how much gas deflection a brakes has and how efficient the brake is. Gas deflection means more gas being moved through the brakes geometry instead of it escaping down the bore and out the front and efficiency means how effective the brake is at converting that redirected gas then to recoil reducing energy via jet effect and gas pushing the brake forward.
You just don’t get it, go read your fluids book again! They are pushing the gas out at deflection angles that result in the sane net pressure but with less pressure directed at the shooter/observer. The felt pressure wave from the Chad is very similar to that of an ATS or ACE brake but with better muzzle control. It is just a basic Engineering fluids problem.
