Useful range is about 1/2 of what is advertised. For almost all LRFs. Consider how many rifles you have to choose from and how much their total cost was. Now remember that if your rangefinder is incorrect, or doesn’t work at the range you need it to, or in bad weather, or because the battery dies too fast, etc, all those rifle investments are worth nothing.

Was in the market for the same scope (Athlon Helos 2-12) and just ordered one from WalMart! Was in a bind with the back orders as well, but who knew WalMart would have em. Appreciate the help!

I did own a Credo 2-10 years back and posted a pretty lengthy review on here if you’d like to check it out. My only issue with that scope was wanting adjustable parallax. Always felt like my eye was fighting between a crisp reticle or crisp picture. I’ve since sold it but otherwise it’s a fantastic optic.

That's true, but many deer were taken with these things, and thats the beauty of simplicity; less to go wrong. Stuff that can be handed down to your kids is awesome. (less garbarge in the landfills too)

Oh. I totally agree. I inherited an old pair of binos from my Dad and I think they date from the 60s also. They work fine, but when I compare the image to the one from Sig Zulu8, I notice a huge difference in IQ.

I know three different doctors who all think psychiatry is pseudo science at best.

Why is it that the overwhelming majority of these mass kill fuckwits are on nutjob drugs and not in the nutjob bin?

On that subject, I am curious, were you ever trained on the 'barrel tension screw' aka 'Pure Voodoo screw' on the SAGE chassis back in 2010? I have heard anecdotals that this magic screw was very carefully adjusted for all EBR-RIs when made at Rock Island circa 2009-2012 by two armorers who built basically all of these rifles.....but in the field soldiers, being soldiers, would dissemble the rifle and/or take the top cover off, and then overly tighten that Voodoo screw upon reassembly - as some did not know what that screw was for. Overtightening that one little screw binds the barrel, especially when it starts to heat up - and thus accuracy goes from 1 MOA to 3 or 4 MOA... Yep, that is what I was told, and the EBR-RI Supplemental guide speaks to this critical feature, but its not clear how well this was understood in Afghanistan.

Question: Back in 2010 were you trained by the Army or aware of this interesting Voodoo screw? Just something I am curious about...









So, this is a very unique feature - and one Army armorer made the mistake of dissembling newly received EBR-RIs for cleaning, but had no idea that he was overtightening that Vodoo screw when he put them back together. He tested the rifles afterwards and couldn't get them to group anything like the test targets that was included in every shipping box of an EBR-RI - so even that unit's official US Army armorer was oblivious to this aspect of the SAGE chassis. Rock Island only did 3-shot groups w/ M118LR for each EBR-RI, and 1.5 MOA was the max allowance. Reportedly, per the below article, only one rifle out 5000 made from 2009-2012 failed that technical accuracy requirement. Most looked like these test targets, typically under 1 MOA for 3-rds: (I wish they would have done 5-rd groups, but anyhow)


...Why do I ask this question? Well, on my rifles the Voodoo screw slightly protrudes from the top cover, unlike the other allen head screws that are pretty well recessed. So, at first glance one might think that screw was sort-of loose and should be tightened down so it is flush with the top cover - but that actually puts a lot of downward pressure on the barrel about 6 or 7 inches from the muzzle, and once it starts to heat up - the 'binding' pressure goes up quite a bit, and accuracy goes into the toilet... Fwiw re the Voodoo screw...

Bump.

Pretty sweet little package. Mine is 6.6lbs with optic and suppressor. Killed a 200lb boar with the 70gr CX factory ammo yesterday at 75yards. He dropped on the spot.

Hey I thought direwolves were just pets for the Stark clan.

Yup. Canadian forces members brought the same thing home with them. China is not a friend.

Larger bore diameters perform better at all distances. We shoot hogs with all sorts of weird calibers; they all work. It's the runners you're really gambling on with smaller calibers.

I can attest to the above suggestions regarding safety. If they're on their stomach, just send another round. I've had huge pigs die (almost always the big ones too) on their belly and it's best practice to plug a few more holes. Ammo is cheap relative to an ER visit.

If any of the above sent in the order and didn't receive a confirmation. Beat me up so I can get your copy to you.

If you don't want one... not a big deal. I'll just cross you off the SH list that I had going.

I just don't want anyone to be forgotten about. That's all.

Later, Frank

I have mine mine in

I emailed them and it is sold

Can't believe no one is going to throw the Terminus Zeus in the convo lol. One thing I've notice about the Impact/LP debate is it tends to be largely regionalized. It may have changed some in recent years, but Impact has an impressive following in the midwest (think OK and east) and in the south, and LP seems to be well regarded out west. I've run a few LP's in the south and everyone with an Impact wants to try it out. Did they run home and buy a LP, probably not. There's not enough difference in them IMO to say one is overwhelmingly better than the other. Pick whichever one your buddies (or your wife) won't make fun of you for owning and shoot the piss out of it.

Just put this together yesterday, Looks like she has potential

(1) Geissele Receiver Build Kit.
(2) VLTOR A5 H2 Buffer System.
(3) Superlative Arms Carrier and AGB.
(4) Craddock Precision RTR 6MM ARC 18" Mk12 MOD1 Barrel and Bolt.
(5) B5 Precision Stock.
(6) Geissele SSA-E X Trigger, tuned to 2.5lbs
(7) Geissele Ambi ChargingHandle.
(8) Ambi Safety, Mag release.
(9) Larue C.A.N 34MM Scope mount.
(10) Nightforce FDE NX8 4-32x50 FFP Mil-XT
(11) Atlas PSR Bipod.




She definitely prefers the Hornady 108 ELD Match Factory Ammo, first (4) 5rd groups average Sub 3/4 MOA.

First 3 rounds out of the barrel during AGB Adjustment, shooting 1rd at a time just over 1/2 MOA.



Next outing we'll see how she shoots with the .30 Cal Banish attached.

I'd like to know how he makes a rifle shoot like that. Wouldn't mind studying under him for a few days.

Nice looking rifle. GLWS.

Sorry @Toftwo

Thanks for getting back to me that your order was in! I missed checking you off.

There are quite a few families out here that would rather stand barefoot on a bed of cactus and break the law, than stand barefoot on a bed of feathers and be honest people.

Alex, I PMed you. Did you get it?

Man, with these test target groups......tacops should be cleaning house at 100yd benchrest.

Somebody will be getting a great rifle.

Well we’re having to go through it again. Just had to put my old squirrel dog lady down yesterday. She’s been retired for several years now and just did what she wanted rather it was laying on the couch or treeing yard squirrels.

Any time a gun or bow came out she was right there! The one pic is her lying in the shooting lane. Got tired of walking back and forth to get arrows lol. (No shots fired over her lol) One waiting on my wife to get home and one doing her favorite pastime.
We’ll miss you Lady
