Rifle Scopes New S&B 10-60x

Glad to hear all is good..the 10-60 is very nice glass.
I ended up transitioning from the 10-60,s to the 5-45 ( have 3 now) ...couldn't be happier with their performance..
You’re making me think of looking at the ZCO 8-40. Have 2 5-45’s and was looking at the 10-60..

Now I have to start my OCD all over again

Non comp 22

I would say 85% of the time it will be for plinking, the rest would be keeping the turtles thinned out , in my pond and squirrels out of my deer feeder, which can be done off of my back porch.

I like the t1 ace, but I have zero time behind an actual chassis, im afraid I wouldn't like one, i have had a couple manners and McMillan on some of my rifles over the years, never any chassis. I would like to shoot a few chassis to see how they feel.

I may go 20", i plan on shooting suppressed most of the time is why I was looking at 16's. But just plinking, 20 is fine .
I'm not a huge chassis guy either, I like the Ace chassis for what it is and it's functionality but would choose a stock/stock like chassis given the choice.

It's hard to go wrong starting with the standard MTR model and adding a chassis as you go.
The Bravo is pretty inexpensive, could then try out some other chassis and upgrade in the future.
The standard stock isn't bad but you really need to add a cheek riser and a full length but pad, buying a take of T3x CTR stock should be easy enough and cheap from the PX here.

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

And is creating an extinct species for the purposes of a publicity stunt ethical or scientifically “the right thing to do.”

Bet that conversation never happened… but the PR firm said, “do it and w’ll make you all rich.”

Because that is how science should be done.

Sirhr
Conceptually, not too different than proof of concepts that show up at SHOT every year…

Which twist rate should I get?

5.56mm chamber 1-7" twist. Wylde chamber was built for shooting 80 grain bullets for National match work. An AR pistol and National Match don't belong in the same sentence, much less the same chamber.

And yes, count me as one who doesn't buy the 1-8 Twisted 223 Wylde Chamber as a some kind of magic potion for improved AR accuracy in all configuration's.

However, If your goal is long range shooting with a heavy barreled AR, then yes, the Wylde chamber does offer some improvement's over the normal 5.56mm chamber, if the shooter is skilled enough to use it.

But barrel makers are putting Wylde chambers in every manner of AR barrels, and not necessary match grade barrels, and the savants are buying them thinking they'll get a some sort of huge accuracy improvement over a standard 5.56mm chamber.

Further, the case has been made that all 223 Wylde chambers are safe with all 5.56mm loads. But if your loading hot, like IMI Razor Core hot, many have experienced popped primers with Wylde chambered rifles. And it stands to reason the 5.56 chamber is larger then the Wylde (the Wylde Freebore is longer but narrower than the 5.56mm).

In short, except for ultimate accuracy with premium match grade barrels, chambered by known makers of accurate barrels, stick to 5.56mm chambers and 1-8 or 1-7 twists.

I'd rather see what they said.
I'll bet it will be obvious what the problem really is.

Leveling a scope is dumb

Dude

You shoulder the rifle when in the prone position. The comments have nothing to do with shooting offhand.

Your alignment to the rifle when in the prone position can impart a natural cant which can be negated by aligning the reticle to plumb when you are in position.
Well said, I don't know why this is so hard to understand

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

They're Dire Wolves. He said something like they're already as big as Gray Wolves at 4 months old (5' long and 140lbs), and they grow for over twelve months. Not only that, but they had more genetic material than they needed from both the 2,000 and 12,000 year old samples. I'm probably off on the numbers, but this is from memory to listening to the Rogan interview.

Yes, they're kind of modified gray wolves, but gray wolves and dire wolves are like 98% identical, so that statement really doesn't mean anything. One of the points in the interview is that there are a ton of different human taxonomies for categorizing animals, and none of them have a whole lot to do with nature. The 12,000 year old specimen was genetically different from the 2,000 year old one. Which one is the "real" dire wolf?
Humans and Chimpanzees are 99%+ genetically identical…
