Rifle Scopes DNT and an M brace mount

Post a pic of the DNT laying in the 32mm high mount. I have a couple 38mm mounts and can eyeball it for you once I see your pics
Apparently (and this was stupid on my part not to check before posting this), the 38mm mount WILL fit the DNT scope. I know this because the M brace mount I had my Leupold Mk4hd in IS 38mm and holds the scope with plenty of clearance.

Not sure how to “sight in” my glock

It doesn't appear to be a mis-match of sight height. Something with the barrel or slide being out of spec would be the logical suspect. As suggested above try swapping the parts around to see if it can be isolated given the factory parts shot well.

Agreed... Those sights look to be a pretty standard height, I'd put the factory barrel and slide back on to see how well you shoot with it and post some pics of it now vs. the factory setup. Gen 5 G45's are capable of pretty good precision with good ammo for a striker fired polymer gun from the factory, I'd suspect that barrel and slide combo could have lost you some precision and accuracy.

Any Auto Technicians Here?

Just hope it’s not a newer car and that the central computer didn’t get zorched!

There are supposed to be safeguards.

BUT… strange things can happen that put a jolt into the ECU’s and similar systems.

It can be like when the monkey peed into the cash register… it will run into money!

1) There is no "central computer" on a modern car; in fact, quite the opposite (it's a distributed network).

2) Many of those modules are indeed pretty frickin important. Because of this, virtually every electronic module is protected against reverse voltage (-14VDC for 60 sec per ISO 16750-2 4.7) and either will not draw current (diodes are a remarkable invention) or will pop fuses as protection.

Alternators are notable exceptions - maybe the fusible link pops, or maybe one or more rectifier diodes blow (we joke that this is desirable in order to protect the fuse).

Accessories ADM Delta 30mm and 34mm Mounts

I found 7 more of these mounts over the weekend while doing some cleanup/inventory of parts. All of them are NIB.

I could really use a couple similar mounts in 30mm that are cantilevered on trade. I could also use triggers for 700 clones, triggers for ARs and M5 bottom metal for 700 short actions. I also need one long action M5 bottom metal that is CIP length.

Going from G3 1-10 to HD5 2-10?

I have competed 2gun the last couple seasons with a G3 1-10 MOA and I hate the reticle. To me, the 200y zero and the thinness of the reticle make the scope less intuitive inside 150 and when I need the more precise hits out far the reticle is so thin that I have a hard time picking it up and actually seeing what yard line of the BDC I’m on. We general have a field or trees as a background, not a berm.

The FC-MOA reticle would be my choice IF it went down to 20-25 MOA in the stadia, as my 14.5s takes 20 MOA to get to 600, so it really doesn’t make sense for me to buy another scope with a reticle that’s not going to fit my kit and shooting style.

That brings me to the HD5 2-10 PR1 MOA. I’m curious and requesting feedback from anyone who may have been using this scope for outlaw 2 gun (5-500 yards)/speed shooting and how the parallax adjustment impact speed shooting. I’m not concerned if you shoot other reticles, really looking to see if I can set parallax and forget it and still have clarity and minimal shift on target. Parallax adjustment is what pushed me off the old 3-5-10 M3 to the NXS compacts and I haven’t looked back, but I have grown to like the FFP versatility.

All my field rifles have a red dot on top so 1x is not an issue for me. I generally use my LPVOs from 4-8/10 .

What scopes and I missing? Looking for compact, capped or locked turrets and a simple FFP scope with MOA stadia reticle that has hashmark to at least 20 MOA. Prefer at east 8x, would not be opposed to 12/14/16 if the scope was small and light enough. Vudu is already on the list.

Appreciate the feedback.

New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me

Was working in TX when I had to fly home to renew my DL. Chose to fly out a few days before elk season. I mailed my rifle back home & had a buddy drive me up to elk camp. Late in the season I heard an elk scrambling up the hill & got ready. Unfortunately he popped out only 10' from me. We looked at each other for a second (antler point restrictions here) & he took off straight away from me.I put the crosshairs on the back of his head & was a fraction of a second from boom when he got behind a tree & got away.

Proof Atlanta is a real shit hole.

Atlanta like most cities was once upon a time a nice place to live and visit because of whites........then another group of citizens fuck it up so whites move and create another nice place (Buckhead) and now its getting fucked up by the same people that fucked up downtown ATL.
DC used to be a great city, museums, music and entertainment, good food. A high education made it a fun level to visit. Then shit hit the fan. Id never go back.
