Scope identitification needed.. info please

I tried numerous times today to get in contact with anyone at US Optics today but was unable to. I also looked up the SN9 that u said this was and saw several pictures that showed the way it was mounted to several platforms. After looking at those images and the ones from this link which details all of the Us Optics scopes from that era, it seems to resemble the SN3 more so. Not doubting your word at all, as I have never owned a USO product before this one. I wish they would have answered so I would have definitive info. I am more than willing to sell it to you as u know more so from first hand knowledge what it is. Here is the link I mentioned earlier. http://www.louiscandell.com/pdf/fire/2004_unitedstatesoptics_catalog.pdf

Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

Has anyone found the fix to get the 5700 Elite to update from 1.53 to 1.57? I've tried a variety of things and it goes through the whole process and when I check the firmware version it remains unchanged.
The only way that I could get the firmware to take—going from V1.55 to V1.57 –was to download load the Kestrel Link “non-ballistic” or “weather” app.

I tried three times with the Kestrel Link ballistic app and failed

Advice needed for 2017 Buick Enclave repairs

Yeah, dealer prices are ridiculous. You can get the flex pipe repaired at any muffler shop for under $100. The high dollar item( steering rack) probably just needs inner and outer tie rods- less than $500. Try to find a reputable independent shop to verify the things they found. A good shop will be busy enough that they don't have to scam extra work from a customer. A REALLY good shop will even prioritize the repairs for you- safety issues and original complaint items first. Dealers want you to give up on your used car so you will buy a new one.

This meme represents an amazingly good point. And why do I get so frustrated, especially with the so-called expert class, telling me, "This is how you do it," and the" all you have to do is groups" Perhaps, because I am cursed with basic common sense, or I am just cursed, I typically don't ask for advise, until I have already done the basics, much less volunteer to pay for professional help; I have already tried penetrating oil, using a six-point socket, or the correct screw driver size, or using a hammer to tap the screw extractor into the hole I drilled, or go bigger, lol….etc. I also will never object to someone saying, just for grins and giggles, let's go over the basics for fun. The only thing you will hear is the yelp of pain as I kick myself for missing something. This meme is typically how things have to be done in my life. You will hear me saying, "praise God", or at minimum see me having a big smile on my face, if things go as planned. I love my tools; it kills me to sacrifice one of them to the altar of getting the job done. I often wonder if I am alone in this feeling.
You didn't mention the required blood sacrifice.

They did that with weed in Colorado.

That's because they grow it there and ship it to prohibition states, and because the shops are charging the same price/more as the street dealers (who have all the costs of evading LEO). Having designed a few legal grow warehouses here in Florida, I can say it costs $11 ish dollars an ounce to grow (with 5yr capital amortization included, only $3/O after) , and they want $450 at the counter. Of course there's still profit potential for black market growers. If it was legal to grow your own weed, the street value of an ounce would be <$30. Prohibition always creates more problems/crime than it solves, just ask the bootleggers.

FUBAR times 6!

It's the only way to simulate dialing and shooting at 1,400 yds on a 100yd range!.
The DeltaSealSOC units all run that setup for their snipers.
Well, WTF do I know...
But seems to me you need to find 1,400 yards somewhere, if you want to be proficient shooting at that range.
Any idiot can dial elevation. Learning wind calls, reading mirage at 1,400 yards you need to BE at 1,400 yards...

Legalize / Decriminalize all drugs. Domestic production only.

Ending demand eliminates supply.
Stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows that people would rather buy sketchy street drugs from hood rats than get clean pharmaceuticals from CVS. Why would you want to end the super fun game of Fentanyl roulette? /s
