" state mismanagement and overzealous unions have combined with obscure federal policies and industrial collusion to end operations of the last sugar beet factory in California, barring future changes."

Sugar beets are a huge industry in No. Colorado too. The Great Western (sugar company) railroad runs through town here.

Rifle Scopes Top tier scope recommendation

Got a ZCO 5-27 the other month. Frankly, not a huge fan of it. MPTC2 Reticle is too thick at max power IMO, and I hate locking turrets. At the high end of optics, glass quality is very subjective. Hate on me all you want, I still prefer the S&B PMII and NF ATACR. Looked through a new March PRS scope recently and was very impressed with it. That might be my next scope I try.

I hate the locking turrets too, but that is an insanely easy fix...although I now can't find who makes the plastic split rings that fit around the turret to prevent it from locking. Have them on almost every scope with a locking turret.

I don’t think everyone is looking for confirmation on them buying a fancy scope (and just saying things to make themselves feel better about it)… sometimes one just has to spend what it takes if they see the thing they want.

I’d argue that the most expensive thing we burn in this sport is our time. No matter how wealthy guys are, none of us is getting the time we put into this shit back, and time is running out on us all, so it’s all precious and valuable. So in a way, I’d argue it’d be kind of dumb to not shoot whatever scope floats your boat (if you can afford to). YOLO!

Spending a couple more bucks (or a couple thousand) to get exactly what you want isn’t just some flex, it’s just choosing to get what you want rather than settling for what you have. The same thing applies whether it’s scopes, guitars, or cars/trucks. The whole “diminishing returns” argument isn’t even relevant when it comes to this kind of stuff IMHO.

This shit is supposed to be fun, buy whatever you want.

True, but I think some of the guys on here were trying to clarify the difference between want and need. Some try to justify their expensive purchases by trying to convincing others that it was 'needed'. I think everyone here deserves to get the optic they want. But trying to convince others and themselves it was 'needed' is another point.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Just under 2M is the number that has been discussed for some time in various circles, but Douglas MacGregor has been very outspoken about the fallacy of the official KIA. The reasoning behind not disclosing the actual number has been argued, but the reasons come down to not allowing the enemy to know the damage inflicted but also to keep the rest of the western populace from being aware of just how bad the losses are so they don't start asking why their tax dollars are being spent on a lost cause.

Suppressors - first round impact shift

Got my first suppressor recently, Diligent Defense Enticer LTi, direct threaded on a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa 1500) 18" 7mm-08 for hunting. Seems to group fine for a light hunting rifle with Barnes 120 TTSX (10 shot group ~1.5 MOA off sandbags), no stringing or anything weird, but I noticed...
