Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 DLR-3

Their European website only lists 2 models, DPRC-1/capped and DLR-3/locking, so I'm just guessing here that the DLR-1/capped is replaced, but that is just a guess on my part. Someone more knowledgeable might confirm that.
Unless my memory fails me, the 3.5-21x44 never had DLR-1. DLR-1 was always in the 4.5-30x56. DLR-3 made its debut in the 3.5-21x44.

My 3.5-21x44 has DPRC-1 in it with a capped windage turret.

Oddball Horus Reticle? 4,000 meter stadia lines? Anyone have any insights?

Just bought a really early Brea USO 3.8-22 front parallax USO scope... It's in Mils (But marked 1click = 1cm at 100Meters, which is a really, really early USO marking for mils. Before folks were even calling Mils... Mils.)

This has a Horus reticle that is gradiated out to 4,000 meters!!! Crazy! The 100 meter 'sight in' position is so far up in the scope that there is barely any field of view above it (that is at 22 power... it's a bit better at 10x). But 4,000 meters on a Horus? What was this being set up for c. 2001 - 2004 or so? Only thing I can think of is a McMillan TAC 50 or an M82 Barrett? Maybe a Cheytac?

This is going to go on a structured barrel .300 Norma Magnum... so the reticle is actually useful in a modern sense.

But what on earth was Horus or JBW2 Thinking 20+ years ago when they created this scope? I can't think of anything then 'except' maybe a .408 Cheytac, a BMG or a couple of outliers like a 20mm Anzio?

Inquiring minds want to know! Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Sirhr

Moms now vs back then

I grew up in a boomer Leave it to Beaver family, except June liked beer. I'm quite familiar with the taste of soap, and distinctly remember the threats of "I'll beat you to a fair-thee-well", whatever that means. She would chase us down and administer spankings, but there was no physical damage. Dad was a vet of the WW2 southern Pacific fighting and had a cooler head but would administer measured justice when needed (more like Andy Griffith). All of this was done with bare hands on clothed skin.

By the time I was maybe 10 or 11, I knew right from wrong by Mom's and Dad's standards. I still occasionally fucked up and had to endure Dad's logical lectures and other punishments (like being grounded), but there was no more corporal punishment.

I guess I was lucky, as I knew other neighborhood kids who sometimes had bruises and such that would trigger charges in today's world. Some kids got beat up worse as teenagers. The counter-intuitive thing is that all of the kids I stayed in touch with turned out OK, and the worst of them straightened out and became successful in the trades. We came of age in the era of the draft, and the military helped a few, but 2 didn't come home alive. The people of my era carry some baggage.

I’m not sure if they contribute or increase people’s suicidal or homicidal thoughts. There seems to be evidence or, at least people reporting, that they have. The issue is, the people put on these meds are done so because they already have depression in most cases, and in many cases, multiple other mental illnesses. Also it’s common to be on multiple psych meds as well not solely an SSRI/SNRI. There’s hundreds of millions of people on these worldwide that aren’t randomly killing people or cutting their tits off and sowing a dick on.
Hell, Iceland has over 15% of their population on them 😳
Of note, suicide rates in Iceland remained the same despite a ninefold increase in SSRI use from 1975 to 2004. Also didn’t decrease either.
the problem of causation vs association? this sounds very much like the issue with statins. easy to justify prescribing once a "disease" is identified. VERY profitable is a huge help there. no evidence of any benefit and good evidence of harm-suppressed of course.
nobody here is asking about proof of benefit which is very obfuscated in the case of statins. there has never been any proof of benefit.
i suspect the same will be the case with SSRIs if any meaningful research is ever undertaken. true that outright banning of just about anything is usually a bad idea. bans are usually undertaken for emotional,hysterical reasons. guns are a perfect example there.
however,bans of some things can be shown as necessary. drag shows for elem school aged is an obvious ban. trans surgery is a good example. a hideous process used to cure the disease of "gender dysphoria" which is likely legit in maybe 1 person out of 10mill at most. i suspect reversible with time in 90 % of those.

I get confused these days.

It's either born with or without a dick.

Now if it's been modified since birth I don't give a fuck.

Dick or dickless, at birth you bunch of clueless fucks. Tired of trying to keep up with the bullshit.

Let's get our classification of gender in a row.

Dick & happy.
Dick & unhappy.
Dick cut off & ? Who cares?

Vagina & happy
Vagina and wish dick.
Edit: Forgot to add strapon, sorry.

And the ever popular doesn't care and fucks anything eats anything and takes it any way it can get it.

Their confusion should not be of concern to anyone else, and doesn't comand any consideration from me.
