I tried e-mailing them and they got back to me saying it was an issue with the app and that I should keep an eye out for updates. It turns out they actually released an update of the app today and I installed it. Even with the update I still can't sync. I also tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and getting by phone's bluetooth to "forget" the device. I still have the same issue.
I e-mailed them back about it. They said they will call me about it tomorrow. Anyway, at least they are responsive if you e-mail them.
I also tried to see if I could install the app on my wife's computer. It isn't compatible with the app, unfortunately.

It seems like this is a big headache for them. They accidentally copied me on an e-mail where the person responding to their generic contact e-mail wrote, "Oh boy..." to the senior marketing manager in response to me telling them the sync didn't work after the update. Lol.

OMG, that is hilarious. The number of periods........ I can feel his frustration.

I have to feel for gun companies when it comes to apps. In almost all cases these apps are contracted by the gun company with a third party software company and these software companies seem to have a very silicon value standard for performance and reliability. This standard is quite noticeably variant from that of the firearms industry where a malfunction of the industries namesake product often has fatal consequences. I don't think I have yet reviewed a product that had an associated software app that did not have some pretty major bugs in it. At this point, that is quite a lot of products and apps to have such a universally unimpressive software track record. I'll admit that when I an reviewing a product that has an app but does not require that app for it's function, such as a chronograph, I tend to put off that part of the review until near the end of the process as I so far have with the Athlon chrono. Apps are never my favorite part of a review and I feel for those in the industry who I can imagine have a substantially more unpleasant time with them than I do.

Saw that on the news. Apparently, they are slashing truck tires, spitting on cops and doing the usual. The mayor and city council are firmly communist. It looks like they are dreaming of spreading this crap over to CDA this weekend. Standing in the interstate up here will pretty much guarantee a quick and painful death unless the state patrol plans on helping the hate groups.

Yeah. They tried this shit a while ago in CDA. It didn't go well.

Back at the last house I lived at we had a dumbass neighbor who damn near set the whole side of his house on fire due to throwing away used fireworks in his plastic garbage can.

CIA and FBI agents are ALWAYS present in riots. Need more be said?

Just for shits and giggles.... even Surplus Ball ammo can shoot satisfying groups... Remember cheap bulk surplus ammo, so just sharing.


18" Criterion MLGS , rapidish firing



Same rifle with 10rds 155gr Hornady AG, I flubbed the flier.

Mags? been using the same mags for like 15 years

Perhaps I was just unlucky. When I had my DT there were no 10 round mags at all and the mags I had were beyond crap. The rifle was very accurate, but the mags made the system totally unreliable.

Thanks Ilya-what I thought. Not having one of the 2.5-20’s in hand, am hoping the Athena may be less busy tree style reticle for use on 6.5GR/CM AR’s. The Neptune option on 5.5-30, while providing lots of ‘information’, is entirely too crowded for my purposes. The website pics lack sufficient resolution for any determination.
Like others here, anxious to get one in the flesh….sometime in not too distant future.

So is this gonna turn into one of those click bait ads or what? If so, just get to it dude…

If you were close I could have re cut the crown while you wait. Or have you do it for experience. I like to take off about 1/2" to make sure the rifling is good. What does the rest of the barrel look like? It just looks like someone had a can or a break on it and never cleaned it. They will pit under all that fouling.

Today in South Africa -

The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has disrupted the country’s aviation sector by suddenly enforcing a controversial rule that requires all aircraft engines older than 12 years to undergo mandatory overhauls, regardless of flight hours or mechanical condition.​

​

​

SACAA argues that a strict time-based overhaul schedule is crucial for ensuring flight safety, a stance that has grounded more than 1 400 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters nationwide.​

​

In many cases, the cost of these overhauls exceeds the value of the aircraft, effectively making them obsolete.​

​

An industry with some 300 000 employees could be economically decimated by the ruling.​

Don't give the FAA any ideas.....

If I were to choose just one hunting scope, it would be Tangent TT315H with the mrad reticle.

However, it is well above the OP's $2000 limit. Given his reticle visibility requirements, I'd consider Leupold Mark4HD 4.5-18x52 with illuminated PR1 Mil. The new Telson Toxin 3-18x50 has a nicely visible reticle. Both are in the $1500 range.

I am very fond of Vortex Razor HD-LHT 4.5-22x50 and still have one (which is not mean feat given how many scopes come and go here). However, the reticle on the Telson and Leupold is a little more prominent on low power.

If you want SFP, you can get S&B Zenith 3-12x50 for $2k.
