The fov on a 6-36 isn't any better than tangent 35X or NF 35X. I don't expect the eyebox to be great on a 12.5" long 6x erector 4-24, physics will not be in its favor. I don't think the gen3 has any easy to use controls that set it apart, do you? The turret locks sucked for the first year, plus the zeroing system is as out of norm as you can get.

I have 4 of the 6-36 gen3s. They're a good scope, I also have the $1300 delta 3.5-21 which is most likely the bones of this new vortex, as it's low japan made. I'll likely get this new gen3 4-24 and run it through it's paces, if it's not $1k better in my eyes over the Delta, it'll get passed onto someone else.

The Gen 3 controls are easy to use and zeroing is easy as well. Loosen one screw and adjust and then tighten it. Yeah out of the norm and that’s a good thing as it’s very easy to use. Turret locks were fixed after the first run years ago so not even worth bringing up. They learned from that so highly doubt the new 4-24 will have that issue.

Having used other 4-25s with good eye boxes I see no reason why this scope should be any difference being a 4-24.

My apologies. I think they are basically the same as the Mosin rod, just slightly shorter. Maybe that can be an option if you are unable to find one. Get a Mosin rod, cut it down a rethread it.

looks like a video game of sorts. You’ve been bamboozled. Your kids will be taking your keys away very soon.

I’ve been fascinated by those new Chiapas Rhinos.

The low-axis barrel is pretty cool and thee are a lot of outside the box features.



Probably be my next handgun. If only because I like advanced design and Thinking.

I have a friend that pulled one of his own molars that was abscessed. He got novacaine from somewhere and self administered, then grabbed it with a plyers and twisted and pulled.

He also had his brother in law stitch a big gash on his leg. So clearly he isn’t right in the head.

Fuck, I've stiched up cuts, my buddy sewed his nose back on after a guy bit the end of it off in a fight. When logging we would just put a bunch of pint sap on it to seal and sterilize it then use duct tape to hold it shut...if the cut wasn't too bad.

Pulling a tooth is a bit more dangerous, the root coutd give a lot of trouble.

Interesting, thanks. But try getting one to give you meds. As to non dental, In three states I've had to go to 'Pain Management Centers' to get help with my neck. A royal pain in the neck ass.

There are more ways to cheat than we can likely think of. CA for instance is just shifting gears to more brazen fraud.

I can believe a lot of things, but this just isn’t one of them. There’s no way a general would authorize Green Berets to operate alongside a forward element in Ukraine. It sounds like a rumor to me — I haven’t seen anything credible to support it. Maybe you’ve got friends claiming some kind of insider information, but people with access to that level of intel don’t usually share it so freely.

Just like we definitely didn’t do this right?


It could’ve been just a rumor. And it may not have been Army Special Forces necessarily… but I definitely remember several people and sites around that time talking about a US element being attached to Azov batt. and a bunch of high level people being involved in talks with Russia to let them leave after Mariupol. I was just assuming they were SF due to their mission statement.

Maybe they were simply vets who volunteered (which IMO the .gov has a much bigger hand in facilitating than they let on..

Korth or go home…

While one cannot argue build quality superiority of the Korth, they do nothing for me aesthetically. I don't say that lightly, because I've looked into purchased a Korth several times just for the build quality.

It's like women: I'd much rather have a Southern Belle with an extra five pounds and a twang, that can hunt, fish and cook... Over a European crossfit model who only eats gourmet options from Whole Foods, and leaves the room in disgust when I fart.

There are 3 variations of the M144 I've seen. The original was supplied by Decilog Inc. using the Bausch & Lomb Elite Armored series optic 15x45x60mm. This version has the cutout area for the B&L emblem on the front rubber armor. Internal threading inside of the front objective ring accepts their Decilog attachable Laser Eye Protection Filter (LFU -Laser Filter Unit), and was part of the US Army Soldier Enhancement program under NSN 1240-01-386-2771 with 3,000 units produced.

Thanks for all that info, I had not read that elsewhere. I have one of these early Decilog spotting scopes that oddly came from that Florida entity that bought out the Remington bankruptcy parts. Unfortunately it’s missing the entire tripod assembly…so if anyone ever sees a complete M144 tripod for sale, I would be a very motivated buyer. Here’s what I have:




…Yes, it’s a very long shot that I’ll ever find the correct tripod, but it a complete M144 set-up would be a neat final piece for my M24R kit.

I dropped mine on a concrete floor last Thursday and bent the rod that holds the cylinder. I don't know the exact name for that part and am finding it difficult to source a replacement. I have all three of them - .22 short, .22 long rifle, and .22 magnum. When I carry them, I use the .22 long rifle and the belt buckle. Of course, most folks think it is just a "cute" belt buckle.

My plan is to call the factory for some assistance - when I get the time.

Apparently I am supposed to take some photos of my recent purchase US property marked flintlock and percussion pistols. I got them out of the vault last night and hope to take some photos today . . . but I have an entry door sitting on my Shop workbench with a new refinish job. If the "varnish" is dry, I can deliver and install it this morning. It is the exterior front door for a new lawyer's office. They thought it was going to be done Monday, so it is kind of a priority.

Won me some Kipper beef steak I did.
