MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

So nice to see these rifles not only live on, but get shot. I’m bringing both my RECCE and my Mod 0 to the next multi gun match. It’s time to shake them out.

If I could find an old Badger ring cap that will support a modern red dot ,I’d compete with the mod0 more often.

I really wish PMM or Reptillia would make caps mounts for the older Badger steel and Nightforce rings.
Yeah, I really want one of the ring caps that has the pic rail at 45 degrees as well as one of the diving boards (all for 30mm) but last time I emailed Badger about them they didn't have any on hand on no plans on making more...

Leveling a scope is dumb

reticle to level to gravity = rifle is level.

the only caveat is if your reticle isn't square to your erector.

then you're screwed...:ROFLMAO:
Not quite. If the reticle is level to gravity, all that is assured is that the reticle is level to gravity. The reticle could be mounted wonky in the scope (not true to the erector). The scope could be mounted off level from the rifle (many people naturally shoulder their rifles off-level.)

Better to mount the scope off level to the rifle (but true to gravity when shouldered), than true to the rifle but off level when shouldered. And, it has been shown by Lowlight several times that- when the chips are down- many (most?) shooters fail to use their levels and shoot a poorly fitted rifle canted to their natural hold, and fail to correct with their levels…

Any F1 racing fans?

While I agree with you, I was hoping to see a much better showing from Sainz at Williams. Especially with how pre-season testing went. He has been there long enough, with enough time logged on the vehicle and in sims that I wouldn't have expected such a poor showing the first three races. Especially since Albon is collecting points so the car is a midpack competitive car. I was really hoping he would have a good showing at Williams since Ferrari booted him to pick up Hamilton.
Everyone curses and makes fun of Ferrari..because they are a shit show lol

But they rarely get rid of good drivers. They don’t develop well (although it could be like the cowboys in football, your expected to be better than you are), but after driving for Ferrari they usually don’t jump up the grid.

Rangefinding binoculars for archery

This setup is more for killing foam. My current Leicas range animals perfectly. I do not want to have to carry another piece of equipment, I want to do it with the RFB's and no separate rangefinder. I have thought about getting the Garmin sight for my hunting setup, I got the Axcel Driver sight a few months back and its pretty awesome, so I am hesitant to change it.

When there are lots of driver changing seats you need 4-5 races compared to 20 years ago it was 1-2 races maximum.

The budget restriction on sims, wind tunnel, track time makes it impossible to get the driver, crew, and car on the same page.

They just can’t get enough hours to set up cars differently, so by default they have to make both cars match the primary driver in the beginning of the season. Especially if he’s a carryover. They need both cars data.

That hamstrings the second driver immensely with a new team.
