Accu-tac SR-5. Its sturdy as hell and doesnt jump or bounce, and fast to deploy in competition use. I still mess with a few Harris BRMs, just because I have a drawer full of them, most of them are modded now for arca use with either an Area 419 or a Leofoto pic/arca adapter.
Getting to a point in my life where taking new hunters out is the most rewarding/fulfilling thing I do. 17 yo son has a friend with limited exposure to guns/hunting. Brought him out to our place in W. Texas for Easter weekend and took him hunting and shooting steel out to 742m. They went 3/3 at night. Learned some hard lessons going 0/7 first evening with some rare daytime hogs showing up in neighbor’s field. Rifle is 6.5CM AR shooting factory 100 ELD VT with Athlon 640 clip on.
From the VERY beginning it was already damning AF and should have been clear to everyone. It is one thing to carry an assisted or automatic folder, or even a CCW designed fixed blade as part of one's EDC. Everybody here does that, I hope... But sticking a buck naked full sized kitchen knife into your backpack and then heading off to what was supposed to be a wholesome athletic event is SUS AS FUCK. That meant this hoodbooger was heading out with violence in mind that day. And according to witnesses, Austin Metcalf did not even strike a blow. He tried to reason with Karmelo, and then told him to move to his correct seating. AT MOST, Austin had nudged Karmelo's arm to get him to move along. There is nothing to claim self defense about here, and the kitchen knife in the backpack can even be seen as premeditation. That hoodrat was out to hurt somebody.
