What I noticed about episode 25 is that they had good elevation but the wind was killer. And not one of them seemed to adjust the windage knob. Even for sustained winds.

This is something I can’t get my head around either. I’ve been shooting long range for about 13yrs, started out by learning to shoot Palma style/high power (sling, jacket, no scope and learning to hold centre and adjusting sights for conditions) and these days civilian service rifle and other disciplines using scopes.

I can absolutely appreciate and use myself holdovers for moving targets and making small changes for changing conditions against static targets. But applying 2-2.5Mil Rads of holdover at 1000yds, while relying on seeing a bullet splash for corrections is just making it so much harder on yourself.

Maybe I was reading the wrong thing but what I read was FOV was 7.3m @ 100m (24ft) and 21.9ft at 100 yards…I could have been reading the euro specs. But, when I had them side by side it seemed slightly better on the low end than my 5-27…take it with a grain of salt because I can’t directly confirm that anymore.

I can’t compare them directly anymore because I sold my 5-27. However here is a pic through the scope at 6x and 36x. The thick portion of the horizontal stadia starts at 10mils. I’ve got an old ass iPhone 13. So image blah blah blah is better in real life. I want another one but have some other crap I need to buy first.

Pact timer, cheap and good value. I used one to kill a spider yesterday.

Conditions with my son's new ranch job did not fit the needs of the new pup so mother brought him home.

It's been less than 48 hrs and already seeing huge improvement in the trouble areas he had over there.

I think he will be a good fit here.

No brother....just need to look further down the list....they come in increments of .0005...5 ten thousandths...for a whopping $4/each. They are pretty much perfect for a direct measurement of neck I.D.

As far as anyone who ever used them....well, pretty much any machinist, gunsmith, or many well equipped reloaders. Very helpful and a common tool to measure I.D.

Hope the VLD stem modification solves your problem. Cheers

Thanks again. Im still not a fan of the Hornady 105gn BTHP. First loads I worked up were running 9 SD'S and 20's for ES. On the other hand the first loads with the 105 gn Barnes Match Burners were getting me 2,3, and 4 SD'S with ES anywhere from 5 up to the lower teens.

Wait a second, how the Fuck does NOAA have authority here? "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has shut down bluefin tuna fishing at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina."

Can they really create and enforce law?

I actually don't know their authority, but from what little knowledge of them I have I didn't think they were law enforcement and they aren't elected legislators.

It sounds like somebody needs to sue the SHIT out of them and fight this so the Supreme Court can tell them that they aren't a fucking law making or enforcing entity and they can pound sand with this shit.

And I don't give a shit about Tuna fishing, I just don't understand how NOAA roles in and plays GOD here, but maybe they do have legal authority...? I don't ocean fish

This is my point.
State didn't show up....cause there is no law.
Where there is no law....Federal assholes will make one up as they go.
There is no precedent, jurisdiction, or existing law that gives NOAA any authority to threaten, harass, or impede shore fishing....or kayak fishing for that matter. Just because "their" tuna are no longer following the historical norms.

How in the hell does NOAA have ANY say in these fisheries.
They are protecting the interests of an elite industry.

I am not saying we don't need limits and laws.
I would suggest that everyone get their shot.
Maybe you can cut a few hundred out of the atlantic quota for shore fishermen next year huh?
Oh...thats not gonna happen huh?
And why is that?
Yeah....we know whats goingvon....

Do it. And get some Texas barbecue while you are here. Especially our smoked brisket. It's a dry smoke with barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.

I’d be all over that if I get over. I’ll be packing extra holes on my belt. I do a Texas style brisket with a dry rub here at home but would love to try the real deal.

Thank you both. I didn't think it would be an issue looking at pics, but just wanted to make sure. Gonna chop the 6.5 creed barrel to 16.5" and thread 9/16x24 for an old TacOps can I have sitting around.

Good choice. 140eldm going just over 2500fps in my 16.5". Here is the data.

I understand that it is $300, but the Kestrel KST1000 is superior to the other options. If you are really going to use it, I would recommend finding the extra $$ and purchasing the Kestrel. I have one and will never go back.

Very similar use case to your criteria, and I went with the Zeiss LRP S3 4-25. Very happy with it so far. Especially for the price through Expert Voice. Turret doesn’t lock but has a zero stop. Windage isn’t capped. Reticle on low power is usable with illumination on.

It allows you to create unique features on individual section that are impossible to do from a solid block of material. There are two ways to achieve this either machine and weld or do additive manufacturing (3D print).

Makes sense. I imagine then that the future of brakes is in additive manufacturing, like with cans. Pretty cool stuff.

"Hunters with access to private land in elk country use a quota system instead of drawn permits. Any resident may purchase a Private Lake Elk Permit (labeled PLE in the AGFC licensing system) for $5 in addition to a valid resident Sportsman Hunting License.. Nonresidents must purchase a Nonresident Elk Permit (NRE) for $300 in addition to a valid Nonresident Annual Hunting License."

What I was thinking of doing is measuring up from the block deck today, to a taught fishing line pulled across the engine compartment. Then start adding spec measurements for the manifold and carb off their websites to get close, but that would only get me close...not 1/4" close though.
Your trick with the foil is probably the way to go once the engine is in.

I think most hoods have more convex shape than we realize.
Every time I think a straight edge across the fenders will get me in the ballpark I'm dead wrong.
