The ring to which you refer is called a Modifier Disk (MD). What is does is reduce the size of the aperture (objective) by 50% and thus increases the depth of field viewed through the riflescope. The objective lens diameter is 52MM, and it makes for a handy riflescope. I have one on an AR-10, a rifle which is heavy enough as it is without plunking a heavy riflescope on it.

How do you like the LDK reticle?

I find the clicks on the shuriken turrets to be very positive and extremely accurate. I have the same turrets on my Majesta sitting on top of my match rifle and I really like them. However, I would like to know what you do not like about them.

I have not banged up my scopes like you have, yet, so I'm glad to hear about your torture test experiment. Those 4mm thick tubes can really take some punishment.

It makes a big difference. I really like the LDK, it’s clean .2 mil holds are a must for me. The experiment definitely wasn’t intentional, but I’m clumsy. I’m really glad it held up as well. I will do another one when I get time just to confirm windage adjustments are correct as well. They did a great job with this optic.

My biggest takeaway from the weekend’s festivities is to ponder how many Chinese, Iranian, or hell, even Russian-owned trucks loaded with drones there are just sitting in warehouses all over the US waiting for the go order.

There’s a reason the Chinese have bought up so much farmland around our military bases, and with at least a Division’s worth of personnel now just wandering around our interior, they can wreck a lot of havoc taking out critical infrastructure…including hospitals, nuke power plants, etc.

I hope we never discover just how devastating Biden’s open border policy hurt us, but suspect we’re gonna pay a big price for the auto pen’s lackadaisical approach to vetting the millions of people streaming across our borders over the past 4 years before Trump got back in.

God help us…. And I mean that literally.

This is simply all my speculation, but I believe the tip could indeed have been made from a different material.

As far as the measurement changing, that's just your typical hornady lot to lot variation.

It's not like they're known for consistency, quite the opposite actually.

That’s a lot of luggage!

10 rounders would be a great benefit for ppl that maybe caught behind capacity restrictions from state legislation

I did a can last week, individual, from cert to stamp in email: 36 hours.

In a word: glorious!

Ok, tks. I thought it involved horizontal and vertical. I may look into the OnTarget.

Surely this is fake news. It violates the standards--hint: standards = ASGH

I probably need to twirl my Kestrel after every shot though right? Can't be too careful...

You don't have to do that. Take your lousy .308 to an indoor range. Shoot a tiny group at 10 yards, take your best target outside to a 600 yard range, snap some photos of your 0.14 inch group at 600 yards and post them on instagram.

We all know dudes are doing that around here. The amount of guys posting tiny groups claiming they were shooting at 100 yards or beyond is questionable at best. Strange how everyone has become a World Champion shooter on the forums and on Instagram. Yet I rarely see it at the range in real life and my main range is where they host one of the bigger F class events every year....

Right There Dead

I mean, that one above that got away is definitely dead, when I zoom in I can see his guts hanging out.

But when you're surveying 1000+ acres and shooting all of them 350+ yards, it can be very difficult to tell, even with video review, whether some of them were hits or misses. Like that one above that was flipped 360 in the air - if that were at 500 yards, you wouldn't know if he had been hit or not. Because when you hit under them, they can do some impressive acrobatics, but be unscathed; no blood.

Since it is impractical to go look for blood trails and so on, we have the rule: it don't count unless it's RTD.

Plus then they're not lost to the coyotes and vultures who depend on us for an easy meal

Hope you spent extra time working that left leg…. Atrophy from subconsciously putting all your weight on your right leg.

AMHIK.

My left calf is still pretty good, but my left thigh is almost 2” diameter smaller than my right because my left knee’s completely fucked. Every annual med checkup the VA suggests a total knee replacement, and every year I tell ‘em to pound sand, I’ll just keep on with the knee injections every 3-6 months.

May have to get it done soon though; almost to the point where I can’t walk, and I ain’t gettin’ any younger. Takes a lot longer to heal/recuperate these days.

My dad had both knees done. He said the only regret was waiting so long to have them done.

Ok. Shoot me a message with details and price.

He keeps saying that this is marriage as it was intended and promises to explain why in a future video. I'm speculating but maybe he means that marriage is by design according to the modern world.

I have a feeling the One who invented marriage had something else in mind.
