Congratulations! LSU Vet Hospital saved our dog, from cancer! Great place, great people!!

He already has a HuxWrx Flow Range 36 in the works. He doesn’t need anything else. That will handle anything he can throw at it.

Curious as to why the tanks need to be below the burner? I have mine on the side of the burner on the table standing straight up.

SN-9 US Optics. The Hubble of scopes. Each one hand built and custom ordered. Most were 40X but there were some 30x done as well. Not sure why JBW2 made them, but I think he wanted to really exercise his creativity!!! Looks like that one might have a Horus (Christmas Tree) reticle in it. Which is crazy! So someone must have ordered it by checking off every box on the USO order sheet just to say they have every thing in one scope! That is wild!!!

If you want to sell it, I will definitely buy!!!

They are pretty unique. External adjustments. Can drive a Jeep over one. But also not great field scopes. Putting one on a Barrett M82 is kind of silly! That said, I have mine on my MRAD... but it's a range gun. My Barrett runs a USO 10x.

Worth... Last one I bought was $1100 (they are well out of date), but I got a kind of bargain. Probably around $1500 - 1800. Maybe more if there are two of us who are nuts out there! They are now kind of a cool retro scope and there are 'better' things out there than a SN-9. Including most of the other vintage USO scopes. But it is a wicked cool piece for a USO geek like me!

Very cool catch!

My 20” Ruger Grendel shoots the 90cx Hornady custom at 2889 fps

22 grendel? What kind of Ruger? We are talking ar15s here. Otherwise it just seems like doubling down on handicap for most bolt actions.

If one of the two chambers fine and the other does not, it isn’t possible for both having the exact same measurements.

At this point, nothing is chambering fine except completely different ammo which yes, is a different profile.

Sorry, I realize now my wording was unclear.

Works for me. Intention is to use it on the mk12 mod H with the 2-12 Steiner. Then when i get the 22 arc mk12 mod 0 will likely be the leupold mk5 i have.

Off the top of my head, there’s a hundred years between the Spaniards colonizing parts of SEAsia, and Taiwan being part of China.

This is what I’m familiar with.

Is there more to the story?

here is what i got in a quick look. conflict between mainland and island-2K years. original inhabitants were not Chinese or even "Asian". more like original people in Japan? they did raid Chinese coast. China sent some punitive expeditions. was a late 1500s war between Japan and Spain. Spain won and established forts in 1626. dutch drove them out in 1642. this opened the way to Chinese immigration to escape the mainland problems.
this brought conflict with the original occupants whom the Chinese considered sub human. Dutch driven out in 1642. Chinese immigrants after some threats China installed some troops. abusive and ineffective Chinese control fomented up to 30 violent uprisings in 19th cent. island was considered the most dangerous place in Asia,a lot of ship wrecks and piracy Perry tried to get compensation. England sent some gun boats in 1860s. neither got satisfaction. was raised to Chinese province from a dependency in 1887. 1895 japan got it in winning a war with China. Japan was sovereign there til 1945.
from then until the KMT retreat there they had control. was abusive,exploitative and brutal per KMT norms. it seems that a lot of trouble there after '49 was related to KMT corruption and insistence of China that Formosa was part of China. the US is what seems to have kept Formosa functional. there was a fear in the 50s that China might invade like in Korea. there were attempts to get Formosa under UN control because of KMT abuses.
so,i was wrong as Formosa was under Chinese control for spells. but it was not "part" of China til 1895. what to do about it now?
the book was originally written in 1957 (?) as a long worked on manuscript. couldn't get published til like 1997 (?). apparently concern about it being anti KMT,which it is,and pro commie,which it isn't. very complex book about a complex place and issues.

The missing link to some of you fuckers on here, at least the homo part.

I find the image of the C35 to be better than the Guide, but, the LRF makes up for it by a mile.

The image of the Steiner is really really really good. Image on the Guide is totally adequate to do God's work and you'l know if that coyote is 100, 200, 300 yards away...

Good enough for me. Thought i might could do without a LRF seeing as most clip ons don’t have them. But they’re trending towards having them and i would definitely benefit with one. I was hoping it was on par with the Steiner. As long as i can zoom in a little more than 4x I’ll be happy. The hydra is a great little unit for 3in1 but it’s not the most suitable clip on. For the price of both units i can’t complain. If this Nocpix changes up the game i might be getting rid of both the hydra and guide to fund it. Ultimately I’m planning on the halo C when i actually have some real income.
