After waking up in the morning it’s coffee, coffee and contemplation; then speaking. Violating this often results in one going full retard according to my wife; not sure if she’s talking about her, or people in general.

I haven’t seen the reviews you are referring to, so I can’t comment specifically, but I suspect few YouTube sensations are good shooters not to mention they are probably testing light barreled hunting rifles and 5 shot groups would likely be even worse.

Best thing to do is smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

What an absolute moron. Just tossed his life away for nothing.

Don't you have something better to do?

Your dimensions are slightly too big, but pretty close. Here’s my Remington M40 “Chuck Mawhinney” commemorative stock, which should be correct, to my knowledge:

Hope that helps. If you have an extra loop you can spare for a few dollars, please send me a PM, as I was given an ad hoc, custom-made front swivel for my project stock, but it lacks the loop:

Random guy, what is the width of the stud itself where the loop goes into? From all the pictures I've seen, they appear to be somewhere in the area between 9/16" and 5/8", but can't be sure. Also, what is the pin size that retains the loop?

This thread has been a great reminder for all of us to take lead exposure seriously. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after finger fucking your gear or shooting, and opt for ventilated ranges if you have to shoot indoors. Lead exposure can have lasting effects on your brain, and once cognitive decline sets in, it’s hard to reverse. You don't just sober up from it.

Looking in any aisle for real food is the problem.

The outside edge of a grocery store is the only place to find "real food" - minus the bakery section. All of the aisles contain processed garbage .

Nice crash out. Now post some groups.

Still, no word, yet, on what this means for Bongino.

Back to ineffective ranting on his podcast and maybe some failed Congressional runs, I'd suppose.

I had great expectations for him (much more so than Kash, based upon his previous federal law enforcement credentials), but it's clear that the Epstein case is a geopolitical poison pill and for some reason he couldn't turn his extensive knowledge of Russiagate into an actual prosecution. Too bad for all of us.

Arken is also doing very well. Probably selling more scopes than dnt, theos and telsong put together.

I don’t think that makes them a good scope.

No you're right. Sheer numbers alone is OBVIOUSLY not an indicator of clarity or overall durability/fit & finish. If that was the case, tasco would beat out everyone lol. What I meant by doing well is, popularity plus a lot of good reviews. You wont get super popular (at least around here) without some good reviews. That Theos wouldnt have rose up if every person on here thought the picture was shit, and the tracking sucked.

kthomas said:

Discourse about scopes is polluted by people seeking confirmation on their $5k+ purchases. A lot of petty and asinine comments when it comes to this subject.

Also, $5k+ for a scope these days is crazy. Law of diminishing returns is incredibly applicable here.

Yep.
They all think a 6000 scope is a requirement. I mean true, 6000 scopes have incredible pictures, but they break too. Not as often but they do. What people confuse is whether or not they're a requirement in doing what they do. The answer is obviously not, or there wouldnt be people out there making 1300 meter shots with lower end scopes, or winning PRS matches with something other than a zco or tangent.

Maurygold said:

All scope companies put out scopes that fail even zco and TT. How they handle that failure is everything and vortex is routinely cited among the best in handling cs.

I didn't say a word about CS. You dealt with Delta, DNT, and teslog CS. I didn't think so....

Vortex reputation for QC has never been great. Especially in everything below the razor, which is clearly what was being discussed. This is not a brand discussion, this is about a specific tier of scopes that have a particular set of features.

98% of content creators want to be able to shoot for a living, so they'll put out whatever is necessary to get the "like, share, and subscribe, or consider following me on Patreon".

I tired of all the "INSANE" rifle builds, shot groups, and performance review click bait pretty quickly. I do like a few channels though from guys who actually compete with what they're saying/doing.

Maurygold said:

Vortex > teslong and delta.

If you find that controversial I disagree with you whole heartedly. And I’ll point out not one of you has claimed to own that shit.

Sending out one singular test scope to a guy known for reviewing scopes doesn’t make someone a good company. Being a substantial player in the space with robust qc and cs does. Recommending a scope company that probably won’t be around in 3 years over the reliable giant known as vortex is insane (or leupold, Nightforce, even Burris - I’m not vortex loyal at all)

Disagree if you want, but I won’t value your disagreement until you go spend money on a delta or teslong. If this guy knows so much you should be beating down the door to guy buy a 1k optic that’s better than vortex.

I can't say you're wrong; if a person is willing to suggest something they dont even own themselves, it is a little odd, BUT, look at how Element started (i think) as one of those no name European bb gun scope companies that hoped to catch on in the biggest firearms market in the world. No one gave them a second look until recently. Now their Theos line of scopes are doing pretty well. I have one myself and it's my favorite scope now. I get what you're saying, that someone shouldnt suggest an up and coming company that they dont even own, over an already established, proven scope, but new scope companies need a chance too. I'm super happy DNT and Element got big enough, because I am really happy with them for the use case that I employ them in. I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised.
