    Best Sub $750 optic for target and varmint - 2025

    Not sure why you're looking at a Midas TAC (30mm tube, 1:4 magnification ratio) when you specified 34mm tube and 5-25x (1:5 ratio) and you have a $750+ budget. I and a couple of my match buddies have compared the Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 to one of my gen-3 Razor 6-36x56, my ZCO 527, and a...

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    The only CLR use case I have right now is on the first inch forward of the chamber and the muzzle of my stainless barrels. I used to use it in the entire bore until I discovered that a putting a thick C4-wet patch on a cleaning jag one caliber smaller than bore size works wonders, without the...

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    I appreciate the feedback, guys. I think I'm going with the one linked by @CK1.0 and @LeftyJason . I wished I already had it this afternoon as my 6BR got an overdue cleaning. It wear the APA 4-port brake with the little top ports in it... which I discovered wuite awhile back just clog up with...

    Rifle Competition Events Geisselle match at Coleman’s Creek

    Cool. How many rounds of rifle, pistol? Conflict with the .22 match at Frontline. Since I won't be shooting this month's Frontline rimfire event, I definitely want to do the July one. Hopefully we could do the September 6th one at CC.

    Rifle Competition Events Geisselle match at Coleman’s Creek

    I'm interested in a report on this. I like the idea of a gas-gun-only match, but the description sounds like it's another macho-man thing that CC likes to do....

    Well, this specific part of the community is moving onward/upward with you. I wouldn't touch "Vudoo" with somebody else's 10-foot pole anymore.

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    Thanks for the steer re wattage. Makes sense. I guess you know the link above references an unavailable item, but Amazon does put up an alternative. I looked at the Harbor Freight units... there's a HF store not too far from me so that was attractive... but reviews point to an underpowered unit...

    Rifle Scopes Razor gen 3 upgrade

    Thanks for your input, Richard - I bought my ZCO from you; it was a great sales experience, and I've sent prospective ZCO buyers your way. I'm not at all surprised to hear of a likelihood that ZCO would have fixed any post-warranty illumination problem at no charge. It was just that the...

    Rifle Scopes Razor gen 3 upgrade

    I agree with everything you say in your post, and for the same reasons. I'm not a Vortex fanboy, nor am I bashing ZCO. All I wanted to do is point out the written warranty differences and my experience with each brand. I've owned or still own at least a dozen Vortex scopes... there are three...

    Rifle Scopes Razor gen 3 upgrade

    The illumination in my ZCO 527 went flaky after three years. ZCO Warranty specifically states electronics are covered for two years. Vortex warranty is lifetime for everything. I called about sending my ZCO scope in to be checked. Guy said sure, send it in. I asked for a shipping label. Nope...

    Suppressors Ultrasonic cleaner: Recommendation(s)?

    The actual device, not cleaning liquids/solutions/etc. What do you have, how long does it take to get suppressors, AR BCGs, etc "clean enough?" I've perused a number of threads discussing the various cleaning liquids, but I do not recall seeing specific "hardware" discussed. Thanks.

    There is also a "usability" component to the solution: if it's too hard to use, what effect does that have on marketability / market uptake? I have met... too many... Vudoo buyers who loudly proclaimed the rifle was Garbage because it wouldn't feed. Damn near every time, the complainer was...

    Last thing first: What issue(s) are you having? The 15-round mags amplify "sensitivities" found in the 10-rounders: The magazine MUST!! be held at the correct height in your chassis or stock. My 2019-vintage rifle is in an MPA BA Comp chassis. When it first came from Vudoo, the non-adjustable...

    Question on bullet seating.

    ^^^ I agree with this. Over hundreds - thousands - of rounds of 6.5CM, 6BR, and .223 loaded over the last several years in Starline, Peterson, and Alpha brass with top-shelf bullets and powders, I've come to expect my .223 SDs to be over double that of the larger calibers. One of my more...

    Pfft. Got you beat. I have two of the discontinued 15-round aluminum mags. Truly collector's items, and they run perfectly in my rifle. And the follower button lets me easily load 15 rounds of Lapua ammo in August. If you know, you know. Priceless... :love:

    Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

    Here's an illustration from thisd afternoon's range trip. Point is, 69 SMK is far more accurate than 55 FMJBT. This carries across different powders/primers/brass. Distance: 100 yards Rifle: Barnes Precision, 18" 1:8 stainless barrel, Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18x44 @18x, suppressed Brass: LC...

    Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

    Bulk 55/62gr ammo is in no way "precision." You can develop precision technique about as well by dry firing as shooting 193/262 rounds. In my 16" Barnes Precision AR, 69 grain SMKs loaded to ~2650fps group to about an inch at 100 while 55gr FMJBT - factory and handload - do well to stay within...

    And many of them end up like Dr. Elion: sitting alone in back of the room while unintelligent, dishonest takers with a propensity for social manipulation profit from her work and throw her colleagues out the door while proclaiming how they're making everything wonderful.
