Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

That’s actually another good point to bring up. With my sigs I had to add I think 8 bc points to get lined up with the proven range card numbers for my main rifle. The liecas needed the exact same bc as my kestrel which is one number above the bullet library bc number to basically match the kestrels proven range card. Since there all ab I always found that interesting about the sigs.

Still in my dad's little shed on the edge of the driveway with about six or more of these....

And one of these.

I remember cleaning the shed out once and ended up with a pile of them. "Dad, why so many?"

Of course when I was a kid dad bought motor oil by the 55 gallon drum.
No garage, it was out in the yard.
Brought back great memories. Used the above to add diesel-fuel additives to the fleet's 18-wheeler saddle fuel tanks before I fueled them up. How about the hand-pump on the 55-gal oil drums that clockwise then counterclockwise to bring up the oil.

Packard had an early start with V12 engnes but the 1650 was not one of their designs,

The Packard V-1650 Merlin is a version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine, produced under license in the United States by the Packard Motor Car Company.

V12's have been used in many cars, I found trying to drive a Jaguar XJ 12 on the road very hard, straight line on a runway was a thrill.

Direct thread vs taper Mount for a bolt gun.

I read the whole thing and im still not fully tracking on the question

get a break if you are changing stuff on the range or whatever.

Which you can also do with hub cans just dont go crazy torque on em, put witness marks on the barrel and check em from time to time
Ive got a AAC Cyclone that is direct thread and a YHM Titanium Phantom. 308 i sent to be converted to Hub.

Im going to have 2 seekins hit pro m3 rifles. I have one right now. I use Griffin Taper mount adapters on my semi auto guns. If I go plan a I can use it as a secondary can on my semi autos and have one Seekins hit pro set up for plan A.

The main drawback I can see is it being extremely difficult to remove when hot. Is there any other drawback vs sticking with direct thread?

I prefer to rocksett my hub adapter into the can i dont like switching them out really.

Review: ZCO 840 versus March 5-42x PRS Edition

The other March 5x42s are the same with different reticle ? I would like a illuminated reticle
The non prs model optically is the same as the prs model, the turrets have different markings, different feel in tactility than the prs model, have locking options and also have illumination. What we found was virtually no one used illumination in prs which is what the optic is specifically built for and in the long range shooting environment if you need illumination to see the reticle outside of specific night events your not effectively taking the shot anyways.

When have you actually needed illumination to take a shot on either a comprtitive target or a game animal.

Review: ZCO 840 versus March 5-42x PRS Edition

I’ve had 3 ZCO scopes and now I own 2 Tangent 5-25’s. Both are amazing scopes. The TT won because of the tool less zero. I’ve got 2 AI rifles and switch barrels often and it’s just easier to zero the TT.
And the March is better than both of them.

Trying to pick a bipod

An atlas will do fine if thats what budget allows. Tilt and pan are really nice options to have.

If you dont think you need the mucho expensive stuff you likely dont. I doubt an atlas will hold you back. Shoot it until you decide it sucks and holds you down, then get a better one and throw the atlas on another rifle. Now you have 2 sweet bipods. Works great lol.

A pimped harris works well too, though unless you get it for a good price its not far off from much better stuff.

Arca is nice... if your setup is working ok now no worries, but do consider it in future builds or mods for sure.
