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.

It's funny that you mention it. I have and use a Athlon Helos 2-12 on a 6.5 Hunting rifle because I wanted adjustable parallax and a illuminated largish reticle for use on game, when lighting is dim.

On the other hand I bought a Trijicon 2-10x36mm for my AR 18" barreled MK12ish Clone for both it's finer reticle (for daylight use) and lack of parallax adjustment.

My rational is that the AR is for quick deploy and shoot targets (In the best of traditional SHTF fantasies) when you don't want to waste time fiddling with side parallax on a potentially a dangerous moving target.

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it....

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)

More like Dime Store Obama

i dont like either statement because it implies Obama had some worth above either of those grades, and thats simply wrong.

I wanted to do the Leopoldo mk4hd. My old mk4 fixed 10x was the easiest eyebox to quickly obtain out of all of my scopes. And the one in the classifieds for $900 was a nice price.

But that same $900 got me the athlon plus cash set aside to stick a red dot on my gun run pistol.

When does the season come in?

Thanks for looking. Up top for a small firing pin 338 bolt. All comes to worst I’ll settle for a large firing pin model.

OK,

Looks like 27781 is the small firing pin one. I am following up with our Buyer to see if we may have a time frame as to when they will be in.

Acquired an Elite Chassis, so this is just for sale at this time.

In the late eighties, we shot many, many coyotes in Northern California that looked exactly like your yotes. We were killing coyotes on a ranch that was losing cows and calves to the coyotes. We killed a boatload.

We would set up in certain drainages with shotguns and buck-shot and just flock shoot the groups of mangy coyotes once they came in.

By the mid nineties, there were only a few coyotes around and they looked as healthy as a coyote can.

You sir, have a coyote problem.

Sold

execution for these types is a must do. this kind of behavior has to be stopped. same applies to the Biden imports. we are failing to protect our society's members. we are preventing citizens to do what is needed a la Penny. i just don't believe that a society showing such lack of guts can survive as something worth living in and protecting from REAL external threats.

Same chick?

Sold locally, thanks!

I took my c39V2 out yesterday with an assortment of ammunition. Shooting from a solid bench, with bipod at 50 yards, with a 3x prism, none were terribly impressive.

Monarch Poly Coated- 2.3 MOA
Monarch Laquer Coated- 3.2 MOA
PPU Brass- 4.3 MOA
Fiocci Brass 5 MOA
Belom Brass- 2.9 MOA

For perspective, I also shot 2 x 5 round groups from my 12.5" 6.5 Grendel at the same range.

Hornady Black BTHP- 0.98 and 0.69 MOA

(Target was reused, cut out pieces are from load dev for a different rifle...)

That's why I like the old El Paso Weavers. I have a 60 year old model that's going to end up in my little brother's hands, and then his new kids hands after that. Of course it's a much simpler design but, it still works awesome.

Why not power down the scope or just run lower magnification?

As a student , I went through my Universities job placement service to get my first job.

I did a quick search and noticed that Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has the same service for jobs as well as co-op and internships. Going this route the companies understand that the students don't have the contacts in industry that helps later on. I would think that this would be the best way, and I am assuming he has already tried this? What may have happened here?
