AB has been money damn well spent, for me. Yesterday, I finished a load for my 6.5 prc hunting rifle. With 3 tags in hand for the second fastest land animal in the world and hunting on open ground that can be very hard to get close to them, I was feeling the pressure to wrap it up.

With high confidence in AB from 10 years of use, I made a nice custom waterproof turret label complete with warm 70° day and a 32°f day delta for 7200’ elevation. White with large letters makes it easy to read with my one aging eyeball.

I went to the range, confirmed cold bore zero, then proceeded to make 1st round hits out to 800 yards on 9”x9” steel in 11 mph winds using my turret and the AB Kestrel for wind.

I could not be happier.

For the record I had “Elite” level because they grandfathered me in as an original AB app owner. Last month I upgraded my 5700x Kestrel to Wez and now I get “Pro” level in perpetuity included. I believe the Kestrel has to be hooked up to the app every 30 days or so to keep that act active.

Besides the obvious..once your spine “grows” crooked it stays that way unless there’s surgery.

Scoliosis ends approx 24 months after girls first period..that’s when the usually stop growing. Boys can grow until approx 21 on some cases.

Beating it with a hammer lol..will do nothing but break a vertebrae and make things worse

Of the scope failures and scopes I have sent back for warrenty which is quite a few. I can only think of one that didn't hold zero. And it would shoot two tight groups about 2 moa apart.

I haven't seen the drop tests. As per the usual I am skeptical.of anything on the internet as well the tests and the competence of the people running g the tests.

From what I have come to beleive from reading online. Most people who claim. To shoot "long range," don't.

Mount is still available

That's the way we do it. Lol


You can pay money and go to South America and hunt doves but this is the latest gun game around.

Break out the Krieghoff .

Putin would agree with you, but the Ukrainians who actually live in Ukraine and are fighting and enduring one way or another, every day wholeheartedly disagree. Turns out an armed populace who doesn't want to bow down to a tyrant and his army of hepatitis positive steppe bros is extremely hard to kill and conquer, whoddathunk it?

No. But I would add one at cost.

A while back I had a chance to look at the service data for this scope. If memory serves me right, there were a few that came back because the illumination push button was acting up. All other complaints could not be tracked down to any scope problems.
The couple that I have tried to diagnose for people over the years (complaints about not holding zero) were not scope problems either. It was fairly evenly divided between mount issues and the user's superclavicular issues.

That goes with my teaching experience as to most rifle scope problems
Shooter error
Bad installation of parts
Are the two most common scope/rifle problems

I fortunately we live in a time of it can never be an individuals fault so equipment is often blamed for other issues

Your chassis is very cool. If i had to speculate, id say its either a later production MSR or an MSR with the later upgrade kit. The upgrade kit included a PSR style handguard that allowed for the barrel to be removed without removing handguard, a Skeletonized buttstock, a PSR style barrel nut, and a PSR wrench. CAG had these upgrade kits put on their MSR's. I have only seen them using handguards that were in the PSR Milspec Cerakote - yours has the prettier Annodizing like the original MSR handguard.


MSR - Note XM2010 style handguard and buttstock - ( Ranger Bat w/ modern Accessories.

CAG MSR w/ Upgrade kit - Notice the handguard is PSR cerakote, skeletonized buttstock, black PSR style barrel nut. Notice the rifles have the NF Mil-Spec ATACR 7-35 w/ zero hold turrets sitting in a Geissele 3-27 Mount. The S&B 3-27 was the previous optic used on the CAG MSR's.



Remington PSR - just posting this for context. You can see the update kit shown in the previous CAG PSR photos is to bring the MSR into the later PSR hardware.

Pull that stupid accu trigger lever out of it. A buddy bought one and we had several dead trigger shots if you don't pull it just right. Mine is a pre accu trigger 10FP and I dropped an SSS adjustable trigger in. We pulled his accu trigger paddle and it all still works the same, it just goes off every time with a trigger pull now.

The only "safe" thing is physical gold, and then it's only "safe" when guarded by men with guns. Pretty basic shit that has been true since the dawn of history.

My mom still has a box I think. I am on all the accounts. I don't think there's anything "valuable" there, just papers.

I agree that it's not "safe", there is noting "safe" about an American bank period, in the USA based on all the totalitarian laws we have here.

My only diamond story:

My wife wears a 2.7 carat flat princess cut that was cut in 1907, so very few facets compared to today. It graded F flawless, and 1c loop clean clarity. Came off my great aunts dead finger in the mid 80s and sat in a safety deposit box till I told my mom I was going to propose. It was dingy and nasty. I know nothing about diamonds and asked, “Is it any good? My mom said, “It’s very good.” So I took it to have it cleaned and when it came out all the sales people in the jewelry store were crowding around and looking at it with their loops. They said it was the finest one they had ever seen. They said if it wasn’t cut so long ago with so few facets it could be worth a hundred grand. Paid $0, insured for $40k. Flawless might be rare but they must exist, because my wife has one.

If you have a safety deposit box..get rid of it. The laws changed a while ago, they aren’t for your eyes only anymore.

My finance guys at chase said they are more trouble then they are worth.

100k in cash for rainy day..don’t count on it if it’s not “taxed” money. Getting access at times is a pain.

You die and wife has the key, and her name is on the firm, they have go in with her and take inventory etc.

The more loops he said he has to jump through the less useful it is for anything other than passports and your old wedding invitation.

Picked up a nib vortex strike eagle 5-25 from the sh px for 500. They left the 2 piece scope base on there, but i ordered a 1 piece to replace them.

American volunteers went down to Texas to fight with them against Mexico, but our government had zero to do with it. They provided nothing, and even the Texas cannons were bought with private funds, so yea, that was very fucking different. It was not a proxy war between powers, but a very elemental rebellion against a distant and tyrannical central government.

I know people like to believe that it was Russian speakers in Donbas that rose up against Kiev, but I have also seen quite a bit of ink spilled where it is claimed they were Russian troops in civilian cloths who basically seized town halls and police stations. I'm skeptical it was any kind of popular rebellion. But it really doesn't fucking matter. Putin invaded because he could. He's been quite open about wanting to reconstitute the USSR. He considers all of Ukraine his, and I kind of do too. They're all "Russians" as far as I'm concerned. I know that rubs people the wrong way, but they all were "the enemy" when I was a kid and serving.

I don't fucking know, and neither does anyone else. I think I'm in the majority in wanting to stay the fuck out of it, because there aren't any "good guys" to support. There are, however, a shitton of innocent civilians getting pummeled, so I'm with the President on just wanting the killing to stop, on no other grounds but basic humanity. Hopefully he can get it done. If not, oh well, not worth WWIII over it anyway.

Yea, well, except that today the labs can grow them in sizes and quality that once would literally have ransomed royalty.
