Rifle Scopes Reticles: thru scope pics! ZCO, TT, NF, S&B, Minox, Horus, Steiner, Kahles, March, Vortex, and More!

Is the view through the scope of the 5-42 gen1/FML-TR1 basically the same? Just trying to get a view of the tree. I like that you designed it to be significantly less obtrusive.
It is substantially the same. I assumed you saw the video I did on the Gen1 a long time ago Login to view embedded media since you specifically asked about Gen2.

Air Gun Picture Thread

Was out playing with the ghost today...only to find that there was no breech seal in the rifle. Still did some shooting, and honestly a few did show potential. Waiting for tomorrow for the correct seal and I will try again. Hoping this will allow the gun to shoot slugs, if not I may be moving it for something else.

Should have just gone with the Epic Two instead....still kicking myself for that.

Angle shooting

I always want 3-5 ways to skin the cat. While gizmos and techy stuff make life easy, I want to know how the tecky program was written. If I can duplicate it with the math, that is all I need to do. I don't plan on taking an abacus and slide rule into the field. If I can prove the tecky gizmo to be good, I take the tecky gizmo into the field. Some programs round MOA, some round MILs, some round distance and some angles. By the time everything is converted from yards to Mils to degrees ..., things can get skewed. When I do the math, I carry decimal points out as far as the calculator will allow. For me ONLY the final answer is rounded. This way I know if the tecky gizmo is rounding at the end or all the way thru the process. Kind of like tolerance stacking. If all the parts are "in tolerance" but yet things don't work right. Then maybe all the parts were at their max tolerance and the final product is shitty.

Rifle Competition Events Geisselle match at Coleman’s Creek

About half of the stages had pistol, each stage took about 10 shots, IF you didn’t miss. Lol. Usually there were 5 plates, with two hits per plate, and as simple as this is, it is easy to get messed up, because you are trying to GO, so you can get on your rifle and start shooting. Heavy penalties for leaving targets not hit. The plates were usually generous sized, but they put them out just far enough to be challenging. 90 sec on each stage had you trying to get that pistol done! Most rifle stages took 10 to 18 rounds or so IF you had good hits. I saw multiple shooters doing mag changes because of the challenge of positional shooting. Fox targets at distance are very narrow, throw in a quartering wind and position changes between targets, all while knowing you had pistol AFTER the rifle part. Yes I wish I had that stage to do over. Targets had to be shot, in order, to advance. Going to war with target three with dope from target two doesn’t work too good. I may have done that also. I have to laugh at my self sometimes. Those two brain farts knocked me out of the high senior award. Seriously, it was a fun match. Hard enough to be challenging, but getting enough hits to feel ok about your performance. I will shoot more of them. I may go and RO the July match. Many ROs said they had trouble getting enough people, and we can’t shoot without them, so I may go help next time instead. I wish I could shoot a match like that every weekend. Sorry to be so long winded. Lastly, a TON of thanks to SH for the shooting lesson last week. My score was better due to your help. Now I need to find a good memory care doctor and I will be GTG for the next match.

Hornady Lot to lot. 200fps difference?

You are correct. In 30+ yrs of shooting, I’ve never seen a primer have barely a mark on it.
If that’s a sign of pressure, I wasn’t aware. I’m always learning.
So if that is a sign of pressure, that means the GA marked boxes are loaded hot?
Time to get out the scale and take some measurements.
Yes, I’d pull it just for Intel. 200fps jump in a relatively smallish cartridge like that, I’d be curious what the charge was even tho I think avg speeds for a 6GT is about 2800-3000fps. But to get a 200fps jump I’m sure the GAP stuff was loaded hotter. Hornady typically errrs on the side of caution from my experience.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!

One of my son’s best friends just had a freakin’ heart attack! Y’all know where this is going…

25-years-old, and a former Marine; he and his wife are exceptionally healthy and fit…they’re the archetype cross fit junkies. He’s been out a couple years and just graduated from the Sheriff's Academy here in our county; also has a 1-year-old son.

Trying to get more info, but please say a prayer for this kid…he’s one of the good ones.

Just stop. I hate laughing about something that is so very sad.

You were given the scripture. You ignored it. It will not be given again.
You have been sold a bill of goods by a man and a movement.
What started at Azusa street was not a revival of the Church, but a corruption of the Gospel.
I was a pentecostal for many decades. My advice is to come out of it.
I actually agree with you about the easter bunnies, the valwntines and the christ masses. You aren't wrong about that, but you have thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
