bump

I like the SLR "linear" adjustments. For me, the adjustments are far easier to tune.

I will second what TonyAngel said about maintenance, however, all mine have been set and forget. IE, the various ones I have , are happy at 6 clicks open from closed ( of 15 clicks to wdie open available ) .

FWIW... 5 clicks open worked, and 1 additional click open for good measure. On 22" RLGS 6.5 CM's and 18" MLGS 308's . Heavy buffer setups and Tubbs flatwire 308 recoil springs.

And I haven't felt the need to adjust them since.

Make sure you have ample handguard clearance....

SLR "9" dimensions....

If your guy knows his porting, there will be no more tuning left to do with an AGB.

Wow... Hells Angels MC biker in heavy snow of Anchorage, Alaska handling the highways like a pro. Captured by a random motorist's dashcam. Yes he had a third wheel for this type of weather but it would still require considerable skill and experience to ride safely under these conditions. That is dedication.

Maybe I'm totally OCD, but it seems like I screw the pooch all the time on reloading. Can't quite get my shoulder bump right. Load too long, get pressure signs, just generally always fucking up (stoopid locking rings from the other night).

I'll watch videos and people get their .002 bump and I've never gotten that, and I can't even keep it consistent for some reason. I set it and then some are okay, some are not.

My 6GT is so damn short that even at 2.500 is was jammed into the lands and causing pressure spikes with 33.5 Grains of varget.

Maybe I'm just bitching out loud after a hard week in the reloading room, but it seems like I'm the only one who ever screws up. Example: ruined a perfectly good piece of brass by accidently smacking it off center into a mandrel.

Anyone else feel that or is everyone a smooth reloader and I should take up knitting?

We made this too complicated. Now we're trying to bump brass so that it has a perfect fit to the chamber, blah blah. The first sub-moa loads I made were in new brass I only chamfered and then just used a FL RCBS die to size after firing. I had no idea what the shoulder bump was. And you can say that it's to save brass life, but look at the other costs.

You have guys who are buying new brass, loading it, "fire forming" it, and then obsessing over the shoulder bump. Using these is extensive as I will get: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101253343

You setup the die, you size with one shell holder and try chambering it, and change to another size if needed. I usually remove all "crush" feel. Am I killing brass life? Maybe, but I'm not obsessing over it.

Before the economy got real bad and I was able to find some Berger ammo for $1-ish a round, with a .40 cent bullet and a Lapua case, it became hard to use up time reloading.

I also enjoy the process. It's one of the few things in my life I control. I generally don't change more than one thing at a time without testing. This keeps me from chasing wabbits and avoids frustration. My scientist training helps--I document everything. That helps with reproducibility.

Sounds like abandonment of your homies lives for profit to me.
Whatever it takes to keep the graft flowing on both sides of the pond.

I would think that more ukes are going to learn to speak Russian willingly or not.

If my government turned thier back on me (to that extent) I would probably chose to replace it.

Oh, my bad. That's what started this in the first damn place.

Putin would have probably stopped with the Russian speaking oblasts and called it a win for him and "his" people. I would bet on it.

But no it was "operation stuff my offshore bank account " from the onset.

Sad that I don't see my "arch enemy" the commie basterds as the bad guys in all this. Maybe the Russian cyops team has spiked my coffe.

It seems our efforts would be better spent in Mexico and South America killing cartels weather thier crooked ass governments like it or not. Maybe thier people would go back home where they belong on thier own.

We have more important battles to fight on our own continent than any other place on the planet.

Why are you ignoring the fact that they blyatzkreiged unsuccesfully straight for the capital day one and would've pushed across the entire country of they weren't militarily incompetent?

the cops are allowed to shoot the handicapped,dogs,owners of dangerous weed eaters. why are they not being allowed to shoot violent revolutionaries?

I'm gonna say my most "memorable" is the earliest shooting, because it was my entry into the sport. Having come from a family of hunters extending back to the 1700's of Virginia, to Kentucky, and then to New Orleans ("Sportsman's Paradise" state), I was given a Crossman 740 BB/pellet gun when I was about 12 or 13. We had just moved to rural Pennsylvania in the Fox Chapel region, and my neighbor friend also had the same gun. Being competitive young men, we set to competing with those old wooden stocked airguns, which were terrific for a young teen.

He had a big apple tree out in his backyard, and we got good enough that the competition involved shooting, not the apples, but the stems of the apples, with the winner downing an apple first, like some combination of Daniel Boone and William Tell in our imaginations. That was great fun, and one of the consequences of honing our stem shooting was of course occasionally hitting the apple itself.

The sweetness of the pierced apple drew the attention of hornets, as I recall. These hornets would dig into the bb hole to forage for food with some reliability. Boys being boys, we hated hornets with a passion, and the only good hornet was a dead hornet in our minds. Very un-Christian frame of mind, perhaps, but those were the facts. So naturally, the competition then evolved to striking the butt's of those hornets as they dug into the apples. Their butt was about the size of a BB, so it was a perfect target. And we became quite the proficient hornet hunters.

Those days still stick in my mind as quite the bucolic upbringing that I enjoyed thanks to my Dad's thoughtfulness for us.

As a an epilogue to that story, when I later went to summer camp in Maine, at Camp Belgrade I believe, they had quite the junior NRA marksmen program. I started from the bottom of the medaling, and gradually worked my way up to Distinguished Expert, shooting their Anschutz 22's with iron sights. No one had ever done that in one summer, at that camp at least, and I was only about 14 at the time. So they decided I would be good to pair up with an older camper in a two man team for the national summer camp competition. The older kid was probably 17 or so, so much more mature and qualified to compete, though I never did meet him. Separately, we shot prone, kneel, and standing, and I was super obsessive about pulling the trigger at the correct time, with nothing less than perfection as my ambition. At the end of the summer, those targets were sent into the national office where they compiled all the results.

I soon forgot about the competition altogether as we had an abrupt change of living conditions, with my Dad getting divorced and us moving to Chicago. Years later, my Dad said one day, sort of nonchalantly, that the owner of the camp had written him and told him we had in fact won the national completion in that two man team class. I was quite shocked. So there's another memory that "stemmed" from my earlier hornet safari's.

It will get leaked eventually.

Mk4 that I did not have listed, but had in the safe is now sold. Others are still up.

i don't know if Trump realizes it or ever will. but,he is now in a situation very like the one Putin was in in '14-'22. we have an open military attack on the country both internally and externally driven. encouraged and abetted by both foreign and domestic elements. plus,a lot of bad assed,threatening talk coming from Mexican gov.
i fear I doubt that the response will be at the required level. and that dbl sucks because we have started so many unnecessary foreign wars in the last 100 years that when one is obviously necessary and the threat is right here,right now it won't happen. hard to say if the citizenry at large will do what is needed. considering the treason and corruption at all levels here,i would expect the gov to resist any grass roots response by "the militia" to be fought by the gov that needs the help but will fight any effort by the people to handle things. the whole people need to become Korean and find a roof.
truth is we have been at war inside our borders for 5 years. i wonder when that realization will occur to anyone witha stake in our society.
BTW,do you now not see how Hitler was able and allowed to come to power and hugely popular for about 8 of his 10 years run?

This sold a long time ago on tacswap. If someone else has contacted you it’s not me. Do not pay them, if you’re trying to scam me I’ll let the mods sort it out. We have had no dealings

Just look don't fiddle. Beleive me when I say fiddling with stuff, messing it up, then figuring how and why has been a lifetime journey of discovery for me.

First off, I’d like to thank @Glassaholic for putting together all those excellent comparison reviews.

In my case; I am trying to Narrow Down My Optic Choices – Real-World Input Appreciated
Not a pro by any means, so take this as a user doing their homework and trying to make an informed decision. I’m in the process of researching scopes—specifically how they track, their durability, weight, and general usability in the field.
I've noticed a lot of reviews out there seem polished by influencers or reviewers who are trying hard to like the product, even when there are obvious drawbacks. That’s fine, but what I’m really after is insight from those who have actual field time behind these optics.

I’ve broken down my search into three categories:

Hunting Use:​

Seriously considering the Schmidt & Bender 3-18x42mm META. It looks solid from a build and optical standpoint, but the price is a major hurdle. If I get over that, it might be the one.
In the meantime, I’m also looking at:

• Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 – decent magnification range, compact, but I’ve read mixed things about eye box and clarity.
• Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 – seems like a good balance of weight, glass, and tracking, though I’m unsure how it holds up under heavier field use.
• Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x50 ?? – lightweight and solid reticle options; good deals pop up occasionally.

Target/Competition Use:​

Here I’m looking for solid tracking, repeatability, and a reticle that won’t hold me back.

1. Kahles K328i 3.5-28x50 – love the magnification range and turret feel.
2. Kahles K525i 5-25x56 – classic choice, well-reviewed.
3. Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 – bombproof reputation, though heavier than I’d like for crossover use.

​

Best of Both Worlds (Hunting + Precision):​

I really like the March-F Tactical 3-24x42—the specs are excellent and it looks like a true hybrid option. That said, I’ve read some user feedback mentioning tight eye box and issues with fast target acquisition, especially under pressure or in field positions. I'm also struggling to justify the cost when compared to optics like the Razor LHT and Leupold. If it really outperforms those in meaningful, real-world ways, I’m open to it—but it would need to be a clear step up.

I know there are a ton of excellent optics out there that many of you probably prefer. I'm just trying to narrow things down based on my needs and budget. If anyone has real field or match time behind any of the scopes I mentioned, I’d really appreciate your input—especially on tracking consistency, durability in hard use, and whether the premium price on higher-end glass actually translates to meaningful performance gains in real-world scenarios.

Appreciate any insight you guys can share—thanks in advance.

Just saying that the LHT 4.5-22 is the most disappointing $2000 retail scope I've ever had. It's been hard to find a rifle to put it on and has sat in the safe much of the time. On a light pcp air rifle pellet gun right now that I don't shoot much - not my favorite air rifle or scope so....
It's lightweight and has somewhat daylight bright illume and any enthusiasm for me ends there.

I had that March 3-24 and it's not all that great either but I'll take one over the LHT for sure.

I'm squarely in the camp that believes if you can't see the reticle plainly on low magnification in a MPVO FFP then why bother. Also for daylight bright illume which is super useful at times.
I use the Athlon HG2 DMR 2-12x42 and the Ares BTR 2.5-15x50/.06 mil thick reticle, because I don't see anything else that would work as well for the money. This Ares punches waaaay above it's niche zone. I'd pick it over that LHT and the M 3-24 and I suppose I already have.

As much as I dislike the wonky IQ in the periphery of the March DFP 1.5-15 at higher magnification it's the one I'd choose for hunting with FFP because it checks most of the boxes I'm looking for. I have a March DFP shorty 1-10 and it's okay in a lot of ways but the IQ on 10x is the worst thing about the scope.

Or maybe that new S&B 3-18 META, wow $5000?? That IQ better be sublime!
