Scope mount budgeting
Again for me it's more about flexibility, even if I don't "need" the 20 MOA, I see no harm in it. You can go further down the rabbit hole and in optics, doesn't matter if it's binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, etc. basically the center of the optical path will always (barring some...- ToddM

MPA Rifle rings or one peice scope mount?
Rings are often cheaper from the same company and more flexible for scope mounting position adjustments. A lot of the newer 1 piece mounts have almost no room to adjust the scope in the mount itself, so you are stuck with only being able to move it on the rail. With some scopes with a longer...- ToddM

Scope mount budgeting
As long as you use a reputable mount, you don't need to spend $400, and no matter what optic you have you probably don't want to spend less than $100. On an AR10 you likely don't need a canti mount but probably want a 20 MOA mount. That said I've never ran into a system where I could not...- ToddM

Scope flip cap recommendation
They all seem to have pluses and minuses. Vortex Defenders and Monsterum are hit and miss. If you get the size that fits right, the rubber isn't horrible, and one that has a good "snap" when closing they are great. However that's only about 50% of the time if you are lucky. I've found the...- ToddM

Really Right Stuff On the Decline?
They are very proud of their stuff. Look I get it, it's top quality, it's made in the US, used some of their stuff going way back for photo gear, and frankly with a lot of shooting folks, as long as you are the most expensive option, people will line up to buy and praise your stuff. Hell "buy...- ToddM

Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy
Usually I see this happen when someone has a failure of some type, esp. feeding issues, and they get flustered, or they end up with 1 round left in a box etc. They will single load a round by hand and drop the slide home. I remember one comp shooter that would do it because he'd drop a round...- ToddM

Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?
It's certainly possible having multiple units together, especially if they are not using the same frequency and tx/rx pattern could cause each other problems. It is kind of odd though, both missing shots and picking up shots too easily would normally be opposite problems so it's interesting to...- ToddM

Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?
Sadly removable media has gone the way of removable batteries. In some ways that's good, in others bad. We've been using chronographs for 40 years+, and even companies like Garmin etc. and their product research can't identify and implement simple features that end users want. Like being...- ToddM

Red dots with good auto brightness
The forward facing definitely helps, esp. compared to the original RMR's. That said I'd like something larger than a 3 MOA dot on a combat handgun, and for competition I'd rather run something like and SRO etc. with a larger window, so the HD's don't really fill a use case for me. Plus I...- ToddM
