Looking at the Leupold Mk5

I've only briefly used a 5-25 and really wasn't impressed, I'm sure I'd get used to it but the glass did seem sub par.
I had a 3.6-18 MK5 for about a month. I thought I would upgrade one of my MK12s to something more current and some more magnification would help. Made the mistake of comparing it to my 3-12x50 S&B PMII. The glass quality isn't even comparable. The old PMII was days clearer then the MK5. I have looked through at least half a dozen other MK5s and they all look the same. Just looked through a new FDE 3.6-18 with the PR2 reticle, it's a little better, but still a no go for me. Good looking scopes on a lot of builds. But the glass quality, small sight picture and not so great reticles make it a no for me.

WTB Badger Ordnance M4 SA BDL

U are correct, it’ll fit the recess but to be perfect a bit of bedding/fill req to be perfect, vs a Rem 700 BDL cut out, you’ll need to hog out.
Now Hawkins makes a BDL style piece that fits the M5 cut and works great, but if your looking at an old school look in your build..bout only choice left n with Badger no longer making n PTG not making replicas, you might find a heavy duty version with Sunny Hill or an older Williams piece…

Had granite. Scratch and chip too easy. We talked about the hot pot deal. She said, “I don’t do it now, why would I start?”

I wanted a darker color, she wanted light. We compromised and got light.

They started the bathrooms yesterday. As well as the kitchen went, this has been a total clusterfuck. One sink hole cut in the wrong place, did not account for an electric outlet, backsplashes wrong size. Won’t be back before Monday. Wife has a hen party this Sunday. I’m spending a lot of time loading ammo and (re)cleaning guns. Just trying to stay out of the crossfire.
I hear ya!

When we had ours done, granite, we were picking between 4. There was 1 that I said "Absolutely not!!' I got home after it was installed, guess what we have? :mad:

Looking at the Leupold Mk5

Well those numbers are also because it’s probably the best scope for the money. The cost of a mark5 is top tier glass for a lot of competitors who can’t afford true top tier glass. If you walk down the line at a big prs match I guarantee there’s more mark5 in the hand of average joes then sponsored shooters.

The last scope I bought new was a MK5 7-35, and it was pretty much the same price as the new Theos I bought previously… and the Theos is a hell of a lot more scope.

It’s not a bad scope, but it’s definitely not spectacular.

Prince George County PD runs stolen car ring

The scandals even involves , wait for it - the gay female Latina DEI hire that the department celebrated during g woman’s history month.

Appears they were stealing cars- Mercedes specifically from an Airport rental service . Hot riding them around for a while because who’s gonna pull them over ? And then selling them to the local chop shop for about 25% of market value .

They cut out the middle man and didn’t hire local thieves or entrap them into stealing 30 luxury cars - nope did their own leg work to ensure max profits.

Where they messed up- they could have just “suspected “ the cars came from the proceeds of crime and taken them under civil asset forfeiture and auctioned them for full market value .
Odd, they specifically talk about missing BMW's, not Mercedes. It's almost like you can't get your facts straight.
Also, it's PG county. What do you expect? They have had a reputation for corruption for at least 50 years.
One of those, deep blue states things.

What upper receivers are you guys using to get a good thermal fit?

Centurion and BKings offer advertised thermal fit uppers. I like the Zev/Solgw/Icon stuff but they aren’t a thermal fit. Generally advertised as a slip or resistance fit. However barrel extension size always has a say.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm inclined t go with Centurion, but man, the BKing is half the price. Now I'm on the fence. I'd like to stock up and don't want to buy a bunch at first. Maybe I'll get one of each.
