I feel the same.

I am befuddled as to why NF doesn't put that elevation turret on all their scopes. It does everything the other versions do in addition to offering the zero lock that the others don't.

They had this lawsuit thing with Leupold about it....

Understood. Are you referring to the optics on this thread or the one you mentioned?

My response was to the statement challenging other companies to come up with a similar 1.5-12X range optics. I was just pointing out that the March 1.5-15X42 already exists, and has been around fir while already.

That said, it's always a good thing for other manufacturers to come up with new offerings, at various price points.

The one I mentioned. I have no connection with Zerotech. March 1.5-15x is a very nice scope (I have one here and use it quite a bit), but dual FP and 10x erector introduce limitations and advantages all at the same time. For some applications, that's the right balance. For others, it is better to do things a little differently.

Most importantly, it is a $3k scope. That limits who it is for, definitionally.

I’m a 71 year old boomer that refused the jab. I figured out it was shady from the jump.
I’m happier than a pig in shit that I never got the jab , nor ever put on a face diaper.
I do have a fresh supply of Ivermectin , going to get my niece , a Veterinarian , to figure a dose for me and my arthritis . She’s a proponent of using it big time.
Her and her hubs wouldn’t take the jab either.

Well I'm just lucky I guess lol. Thousands of these fired and before this only the odd dud.

As someone suggested I mentioned it to CCI and they asked for lot numbers and pictures and have been quite communicative.

I cleaned the bore again and it looks fine. I got quite a few more gophers after this happened.

Only real damage is the lost magazine spring, which unfortunately Tikka doesn't sell. That is not at all surprising as the firing pins are known to break and they don't sell those either only a complete assembly for $115CAD! Sorry, I'm still a bit sore about the cost of a firing pin.

Yeah I should of mentioned what questions they'd ask you. My buddy called them and their first question was "Are you okay?". I'd keep all records and keep all POC names. They were real good with my buddy. We both worked in ammunition/ firearms manufacturing so we spoke on what we knew. I'd just keep things simple and honest. They appreciate that and should treat you fair/ well.

I had 4 of my vertebrae fused together 3 years ago and I still have a constant ache.
I took the ivermectin when I got sick and noticed my back ache went away.
3 days of ivermectin will get me a week of pain free. I do it once a week now

This makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I find it interesting and a bit confusing that Bartlein claims that paste type cleaners can leave the barrel too smooth. I understand from a tribologal perspective how that might be the case if you’re worried about surface roughness acting as a resovoir for lubricant but I don’t understand otherwise how a barrel could be “too smooth”.

I do understand their fear of dimensional change through the abrasive of the paste but in my experience it takes a hell of a lot of force and a more abrasive media to do that in a short amount of time.

You wouldn't believe how fast a shooter can wreck a barrel from cleaning. I've seen it where a shooter only cleaned the barrel as little as two times.

Also picture a shooter where he's only shot a 110 rounds on the barrel... cleaned it and took a full .001" out of the bore. Not only does he complain to us but then blames the bullet maker for bad bullets/bullets failing and it all went back to cleaning damage.

Also by making the bore too smooth with using abrasive cleaners too much.... the bullet/copper wants to stick to the bore more is the best way I can describe it. If the copper is building up in layers (like plating) and especially on tops of the lands...that is typically the accuracy killer. A smidge here and there on the lands not a big deal. Same with the grooves... copper in the grooves and the barrel doesn't seem to care.

Mark here was down shooting at the super shoot last week. Number one topic came up was cleaning of course. Mark told the group that was all sitting there BS... the number one thing we see is the misuse or overuse of abrasive cleaners.

If forget the actual number but test have been done and measuring the throat that after each time an aggressive abrasive has been used... the throat advances a .001" each time.

I have two hang ups with Litz's video when using JB.... No bore guide is one and the other is you don't need that much JB on a patch to clean/keep the carbon in check.

I have an earlier version of this machete but put a 25 degree edge on it. It's extremely sharp and is a cutting machine. This isn't anymore of a machete than a VW beetle is a formula 4 race car. It's a cheap short sword but let's call it a machete so we can sell it in countries that ban swords

Needs more assegai! ;-)



Sirhr

PS. Just kidding. After watching the video, I had To Order one!! $55 shipped? No brainer! That’s what I love about Cold Steel! It’s crap, but it is really well-made and rugged crap! My Assegai is Cold Steel as well. I turned up the handle from some African hardwood I had lying around. Lethal bit of junk! Shaka would be proud!!!

that looks like most shopping mall parking garages, some of them were bad the day after they opened

Amid Heavy Combat Losses, U.S. Won’t Give Ukraine More Patriot Air Defences For Free

When you think about it, sending the latest US tech over there was a stupid move.

Deploying our wonder weapons into that theater allowed the Russians (and more importantly, the Chinese) the time and opportunity to come up with effective countermeasures.

That lag time would have been extremely valuable to us if we were thrust into a near peer/great power conflict. It would have bought us time to shape things and get more control in our initial push back.

Then again seeing how this war exposed how vulnerable the guidance ecosystems are, maybe it was a blessing that they failed there rather than in front of our own men.
