Mark 4hd tracking issue

It’s not. the. freaking. ballistics.
The only thing changing is the turret on the scope, the rest is the same.

If at 100 yards 3.6”=1mil, he dialed 5mils=18” and got a bit more at 19”, that’s 19”/18”dialed=1.055 factor
100yards*1.055=105.5 yards where that paper would have to have been at for his tracking error to have been from poor distance. Not out of the realm of possibility in a bad range. His range finder should be closer than that though if it hasn’t been dropped one too many times.

Quick Shot Challenge: Caption This Sniper Fail Meme

Thanks...couldn't remember the name and was too busy earlier to look it up.

Alexj-12 said that it was a random drawing so what we posted as captions was really just for our own entertainment...and it was entertaining. lol
First post also said it would be announced in this thread which I don't see.

Breaking: two Democratic members of Congress among crowd breaking into ICE/DHS detention center

This babe states more arrests are coming

Not really...LOL ..." Quote more arrest are on the table." and "on the table" verbal political posturing in lame 5 minute scripted debate.

It looking more and more like the whole incident was a bait setup. trump admin. or trump himself to flying off the handle.
Or... you can go in another direction, and say the whole indecent is looking like a setup to Probe. To see what is the breaking limit to how far they can push. This has already played out in the 1st Trump term. 'it's a growing movement' . The more you push with no consequences. Your activist squads grow and invites widespread bolder disruption.

Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!

Also gun control seems to be on his list.

Fk that, another liberal pope. If he really wants to good he can start with cleaning up and being open about the pedophile priests the church has protected for years.
The church has billions from what I understand, let the church's money help people.

Mark 4hd tracking issue

9 feet will

I ran the ballistics on that, and I'm not seeing anything close (unless you're shooting a Red Ryder). Since I've screwed things up before...you mind showing a link where 9 feet equals a trajectory change by an inch? I'd like to apply the math to what I do (if it can be validated).

Running a simple test on it on JBM shows that from 91 - 110 yards... a 105gr Hybrid at 2900 FPS has a 0.0 change in drop in inches with a 100 yard zero. I ran it again with a 97 yard zero (to show what a 9' difference would do), and the only thing that changed was that the 0.0 drop changed to 89-110 yards (I stopped the testing at 110 yards). *This is just to the tenth of an inch*, and it would not affect click value of your scope during zeroing.

I'm not discounting the need to accurately measure one's zero range. However the math (at least this simple test) shows that there isn't a whole lot of error that you're going to see in either your bullet trajectory, or your click value, if you're off 9 feet at ~100 yards.

I will hold onto this sentence here for if I need to make a correctional statement if I am proven wrong.

French FRF2 Sniper rifle

What a great thread. I would love to have one these rifles. Here is a picture of me with a FRF2 during Desert Storm. I was a sniper in 2/325th Airborne Infantry Regiment. Our Brigade was assigned to the French 6th Light Armored Division out in the far West. We visited the Foreign Legion's 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment. The Legionnaire sniper was from N. Ireland. It was a pretty cool day for a young
Spc 4.

Great pic

Was the bipod useful?

Being so “close”

Guy on motorcycle vs guy in car..... yeah.

Didn't watch the video, but in and of itself:
Lane splitting or filtering is legal in the following states:
https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=66c0...LWxhbmUtc3BsaXR0aW5nLXN0YXRlLW5hdGlvbi8&ntb=1
  • California
  • Utah
  • Arizona
  • Montana
  • Hawaii
  • Colorado
  • Minnesota (beginning July 1, 2025)
Most have specific circumstances, like traffic slower than 15 mph. Except California, anything goes, welcome to the Thunderdome.

California​

This forward-thinking state has allowed motorcycles to lane-split for some time by dint of a vague "it’s not illegal" stance. In 2016, lane-splitting was made explicitly legal, making California the only state to allow it to such an extent. Yay, riding in California! Try it when you’re there; it works and it’s magical.
Open your door.............watch the fun..........

AAC ammo grenading rifles

I heard about a few bullets coming apart and damaging cans, don't think I've seen on the interwebs reports on the level of "replete with stories of AAC ammo destroying rifles".

Do you have some links to the kind of stories you're talking about?

I've used some of the 77gr otm and 75gr black tip, I'd say several hundred rounds, and a few boxes of their .308. Not too much, but haven't had any issues so far with my tiny sample size.
Appreciate the responses.
Here's one. Of course, he may have an axe to grind, or he may be shilling for other companies.

Worth a watch

What I garnered from it is ;
We are in a Cold Civil War .
The Left is arresting and charging political opposition .
Prosecuting 4th ,5th ,and 6th generation warfare .
Asymmetric Warfare .
Using Social Media to keep people suppressed and in fear . A mental terrorism .
They've pillaged the coiffeurs.
Some experts believe that we are headed to a Civil War .
We are in a state of Civil Strife . Violence directed at Conservatives .

So many points . I'd suggest watching .
You're spot on with the social media. So many people I work with are constantly terrified about something they saw on fakebook.

Worth a watch

I am not going to watch the whole thing but he makes good points. Things I have already considered. Some people in my sphere of contacts are already expecting it. Food storage that would feed a squad for a few years. Several AR-15s. Thousands upon thousands of round of ammo and including trays to handle and organize ammo cans.

I am not looking for this to happen but I do have weapons that can address several situations. A number of bolt actions. An AR-15, AR-10, hand gun, shottie (with bayonette.)

Question is, how long would a civil war last this time?
Allt hose things are valid but the critical one is good old H2O

Here's the deal. Pretend the biker was being a dick. Lane splitting, showing off, even yelling at the car driver. That is still not justification for attempted murder by means of hit-and-run collision.

Any prosecutor could say, "At what point, mister car driver, can you say that your live was in such great danger that you needed to enact harsh and possibly deadly force? The biker was in his lane and you purposely swerve into his lane.
What’s right and what’s legal aren’t always the same thing.
