Optical zero

I may have to but my eyesight is not the best anymore.

I guess I should reword that to say optically aligned with the plane of the bore? Or is that not really the case?

I have been using my little bore sight kit for so long I can't even remember last time I went old school on it. Probably why I bought a kit. Lol

Not as easy to see through the receiver. And the mounting is probably temporary, not the way I like but parts on hand.

Mk 13 Mod 0 stock

That doesn't seem too far off for a MK13 without optic and a stripped case. If it's still the same as a it was a few years ago they some hefty buyer fees so actual price after all fees and taxes are likely 10k+. Just googled it buyers premium is 18.5%.

There are nuances with the stiller mk13's that separate a $8,000 gun and a $13,000 gun. I think Ryan's gun sold low because of poor marketing and Rock Island being a poor fit for the rifle.

The Wylie actions command the highest values. Every Wylie released was a contract overrun. Every Serial number lives within the serial number block for issued MK13-5's and MK13-7's. Serials being in the 1-1500 range. If doing a museum grade MK13-5 with a Stiller or MK13-7 - The Wylie action is the best option.

The Second most desirable is a Garland Marked action. The garlands serials range roughly in the 1500-1900's. While some garlands were used on USMC mod 7's, the actions on market are outside of the serial range of the issued MK13-5/7's.

The third most desirable is are the Shiner marked MK13 actions. These came out after Stiller sold and the markings and fonts are different. These are obviously outside the issued range.

The least most desirable is the current production Mk13 actions. They are have the same different markings as above, and they changed the bolt. The bolts handles are angled.

22 cal Slug/lead bullet BC's

I have seen you say that about those Toros. I loved your comparison to the awesome 22LR you have. That is crazy how good they can be at that distance. We need Mike N to make a repeater!
I tried to get Mike to design a repeater more than once, the answer was nope.

I'd like to see a pcp mimicking that Anschutz 1727F APR 22rf, including somehow implementing stick mags and the chassis integral to the action.
Tall order but it'd be the ultimate.

Coyote Hunting Chest Rig

I like it. Do you carry binos and if so what pouch do you carry them in?

I am looking for something with a bit more carrying capacity than this but still want to keep the compact magnet lid bino pouch:

I don't need a lot of quick access AR mag pouches though.

This Pathfinder unit is for sale and I was thinking of grabbing it:

Im just carrying my 10x lrfs in a "tactical" utility pouch on my belt until i decide what works on this chest rig i could forgo the extra mags and put them in there might be what I do and just add a extra mag pouch to keep a spare mag on hand.. i dont really need quick access to the mags just nice to keep spares on hand for impromptu prarie dog plinkin.

This is the pouch I use... its not fancy or super high quality buts its lasted me 3 years of hard deer and elk hunting in az mountains and deserts.https://a.co/d/5wnA8uu

For whomever was asking above. I cook pork shoulder/Boston Butt on a smoker to 195 internal, take it off, wrap in foil for an hour and pull it. Takes that temperature and time to break down the fascia/connecting tissue, so it will pull. Works for me.
Thats about what I read... It was cook to 180, wrap in foil and cook to about 205, then remove and let it sit for about an hour. I'm shooting for moist that doesn't dry out 20 minutes after it's pulled apart.

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

I once heard a comedian make fun of men and their lack of humility with something like this: "a lot of guys seem to think they come out of their mother's womb knowing how to drive a car, how to screw a woman, and how to shoot a gun."

Heard this from an old Gunsite guy and like it better this way:

"All young men think they can naturally fuck, fight, shoot and drive well....and they're all wrong....all 4 times"

5.56 AR Only Loads

Armor Alley black 20".

Say anything you want about them but I have a 52g Speer load and 55g bulk bullet load both running sub moa / sub 1/2.

And these trash 69g seconds were also sub 1/2 except for 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 fliers probably touching lands.

I need to bore sight my scope since it's now on a 20 moa rail and wasn't before. I guess I could dial "down" 20 moa and send it but that's a lot of trust.

Maybe the free bore is short? Why the 52 and 55's work so well?

Liberal meltdown videos please!

This isn't necessarily a meltdown video.

Given the obvious presence of the septum ring it can be stated with a high degree of empirical statistical certainty that the bearers of these metallic facial ornaments dwell at the far end of the liberal political spectrum.

This video is presented for the elucidation of conservative academia as well as ethereal entertainment.

With that said, I still haven't been able to get some nagging questions answered.

1) If they sneeze or have a runny nose are those rings corrosion-resistant?
2) If they need to wipe their nose because of the aforementioned conditions, how do they do it?
3) Do they ever worry about getting nose hairs tangled up in these nasal accouterments?
4) Will this fashion trend ever usher in the reappearance of the traditional aboriginal bone-through-the-nose?
5) Do these devises help to keep their noses out of other people's business?

While I'm on a roll with questions, I have a final one but nothing to do with septum rings. How do the women with extremely long finger nails wipe their ass? (a friend is looking over my shoulder and told me to ask that)
