Absolutely.
I never had access to a dyno when I was doing mine....but mine also started out with a 307, and the 327 I put in was impressive. The 'drive-in crew chiefs' 😆 figured it was mid to high 300 horses. ? Which nowadays my wife's Chev truck exceeds. But in the mid 70's, that was fast for street...here.
They figure hers will be mid 400's, and lots of torque.
They will dyno it next Wednesday when we get there to drop off the car. They were nice enough to wait for the test so we can see it. 👍
Dyno room pics and specs after Easter Monday!

You can watch a thousand dyno pulls on u tube but when you are there on the other side of the glass it's pretty cool. Even better when it's your motor.
Many years ago I was at Detroit Gasket doing some AC repair on the dyno room. They had a NASCAR test motor on the dyno and were just getting ready to run it. I stayed and watched because they were going to run it to simulate race conditions. Something like 7500 RPM for so many seconds and then back down some RPM for a few seconds and then back to full throttle to simulate whatever race track. I asked the guy if he ever got bored doing it and he quickly replied no.

The hardest specification you list is a useable reticle at low power. That rules out almost all of the FFP flavors, as they are mostly pretty useless at low power, especially on the higher powered examples.

in my limited experience, illuminated ffp reticles def offset (at least partially) the difficulty to see them at low powers. i prefer holding over vs dialing, so ffp being accurate at any X is a draw for me. agree the higher the magnification goes, the less you can use the reticle at lower powers so my hunting scopes (the nf 2.5-20 and vortex's ref'd above) max out at 16-20x.

Anybody mess around with a 22 creedmoor conversion kit? Thinking about going to it to slam some groundhogs this year for a farmer. Anybody know of any readily available rifles, I sent SAC, Special Purpose Rifles, and TS Customs a message.

I’ve not; .223 from SAC is awesome, but I get wanting to push for speed.
I’m tempted to find a smith for a .17-556 conversion just to lob tiny things with zero recoil at absurd velocity.
SAC has told me historically they’re sticking just to the .223 for time being.
I’ve just been hand loading 6.5creedmoor with about 43.5-44.1gr Staball and a 143gr ELDX and seeing 2950FPS with few pressure signs and very low SD.
Tempted to play with a lighter bullet and see how fast…

Dealing with that myself. Not sure where the mods are regarding this but messaged a few, reported the scammer, and reported the scam feedback they left me. Very disappointing.

Hunting is the reason I shoot. I have or have had ZCOs, Kahles, Zeiss LRPs, Steiner T6Xi's etc etc on comp guns. I don't let money limit me on what I put on primary use rifles, whether that is hunting or competition. That said, my two primary hunting rifles wear Maven RS 1.2 2.5-15x44's. FFP/MIL with an excellent hunting reticle. Taken close shots in basically full dark conditions without the illumination on at 2.5x and also taken deer out to 500ish with them. Literally not another scope out there at the moment that checks as many boxes as it does for a hunting rifle. And yeah, I'm one of the RS kool-aid drinkers who won't risk his once a year 10-14 day trip in the backcountry with a Leupold or Swarovski that has to be re-zeroed if you look at it wrong...

I've read a bunch of positive things on the Maven. I might have to try one. That's good to hear about the reticle being usable without illumination.

With this hiccup maybe the new athlon will replace these units......... I'm sure garmin will get a fix just sucks

I’m still curious. Was yours rifle mounted and has it always been? I think you already said it was the same this time as always before.

Reason I ask is that I think it couldn’t hurt to dig down a bit as to if there’s a pattern in some way or not. That could influence a bug correction if @Garmin is following.
