LOL. this is not going to work out like they think it will. if its a user supported app, its going to get crushed by false sightings and reports all over the place as anyone can download and use it. False ICE raids everywhere. or are they?
yea. there all all these unconstitutionally empowered alphabets everywhere. the have been dim/deep state tools from the start. why not use them for MAGA work? turnaround and that stuff. diesel,vans and fertilizer still exist.

I don’t understand why it is wrong to be judgmental about this

I did make a judgment based on one picture of the little wizard with long hair and looking like a poster child for an alphabet group. So I was judgmental based on nothing more than long hair and statistics. Which is sort of jumping to conclusions.

But there you go

PS. Years ago I did that whole Myers-Briggs thing in a big college group where everybody had to sit in a chair in a U shape based on their results. The way they had the chairs set up and with the number of people there could be empty chairs between the levels of answers on your Myers-Briggs test. Essentially the results would end up with several clusters of people based on which, for major categories, they fell in. And the level of their answers that the eggheads somehow calculated.

My best buddy Bull and I ended up on the absolute far end of the horseshoe, off the charts in the ISTJ scale. The two chairs at the very end of the horseshoe. With Something like 10 chairs between us and the next group of people doing the test. So I tend to be judging according to fruit at pshrinks and their little tests.

We celebrated by going out for $2 pitchers and 10 cent wings. I wanted a T shirt. But no funding for T-shirts in the study, I guess.

But I still wear that score as a badge of honor!

First Post- Looking for Scope recommendations- LMT 13.5" 308 Battle Rifle

Case use- defensive rifle with 500 yard capability. Will be running it with a red dot. $1200-$1500 range.
Under consideration:

Leupold Mark 4HD 2.5-10x42 FFP TMR reticle

Steiner T6Xi 2.5-15x50 FFP SCR reticle

EOTECH Vudu 3-9x32 SFP (least likely candidate but I like the size and weight)

Trijicon Credo 2-10x36 MRAD Precision Tree reticle

Just looking for opinions and/or alternative suggestions.

Thanks​

Notwithstanding what I said above regarding the scopes mentioned; for a rifle with the stated use, a defensive rifle for out to 500; I have two such rigs. For short to mid range I've found MPVOs to be a bit of overkill. What I mean by that is that you are going to be humping around magnification that you won't need, at the expense of weight and bulk.

On my two rigs, I run an LPVO on one and a TA11 ACOG on the other. They both do fine out to 500 for general purpose use. Of course, the 8x LPVO affords a good bit more precision than the ACOG does.

I bring this up because just looking at numbers on paper really doesn't convey the difference between running and gunning with a rifle with an LPVO versus running and gunning with a big, bulky optic on the same rifle.

My chosen LPVO is an NX8, but if I wasn't running that, I'd probably be running a SFP Credo with the etched reticle and BDC. It's a heck of a nice scope, although a little long for what it is.

Consistency, or lack thereof

Rifle isn’t anything fancy. REM 700, Criterion 24” light varmint, oryx chassis, atlas Apollo brake, Nightforce nx8, TT diamond, acu tac bipod.. Pieced it together over the past year. Next rifle will be better. 25 creed sounds fun.

Groups today grew progressively worse. Heat was a factor. Poi started to rise. Groups opened up. The first group, all the centers in the next two groups, and hitting the dot consistently makes me think I’m shooting ok. I did have to learn to shoot prone all over again. Shot old school bladed position for smallbore. It’s been an adjustment. Today it felt good. Could still benefit from some live coaching.

Bergers and br2 primers should improve things.
Which model of NX8 do you have?

One of the things I found that really helped me tighten up my groups was having a high powered scope on my gun. . . .even for when shooting at just 100 yds.
