    Optics COMPLETE - Hawkins 30mm ultralite rings with side bubble

    What height 34’s you looking for? I have a set of ARC 1.10 mediums I would swap you.

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    X2. All the banter of “you did it wrong, you dropped it to far, you dropped it on something hard, your shooting mat has a lump in it” etc is kinda crazy. If you want to really factually know something then don’t take some random guy online word for it. Doing this doesn’t take a lot of...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    I haven’t, been slammed with work and I’m waiting for my 4.5-22 to show up. It seems like there are lots of guys that aren’t having any problems so I may just be unlucky. Go drop it on a mat a few times in the yard if you have time to check zero before your match. I would be interested in...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    I think the simplest way to check the rifle vs scope is to do the same test with the same rifle with a different scope. At least at that time it’s narrowed down to scope and rings vs the entire setup. If I do this again I’ll take another scope or two and mount them and do the same thing. If...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    Ya I can, It won’t be anything real professional so I wouldn’t put a ton of stock in it. The LHT in question has been dialed on steel at least a decent amount, I have never seen any problems always RTZ fine and never had any misses that weren’t wind or shooter induced. If it has tracking error...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    Oh for sure. I have a few 4-16 Atacrs that have been flat beat on and not shifted. Couple years ago we killed a bull on the north side of a fresh burn with a little fresh snow on top of frozen ash. Had I know how bad it was going to be probably wouldn’t have shot it. You literally couldn’t go...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    When I get some time I’m going to do this whole thing over again just to satisfy my own curiosity before sending it in. I have a 6 creed barrel for that gun that’s a absolute hammer, I think I’ll be able to see one tenth shifts with it. I think I’m only going to drop it on one side several...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    This one went back almost in the group before any drops had happened. Now I’m thinking I maybe pulled the one that went left? It felt good and normally I don’t shoot that badly but it left me wondering. Went for the home run this time, 8 drops each side and got a little braver and was probably...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    Alright, I can shoot 100 yards a few minutes from my house so I ran out to see exactly how far off it was and if I could repeat it. I was wrong on how far off it was, it wasnt as bad as I had said. Here is the first shot: I dialed .6 and .5 and overshot it left so came back .1 and shot this 3...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    No damage to the scope, Bighorn TL3 factory pinned rail, Hawkins tactical rings (4 screw). Everything properly torqued. I just ran out and shot it and did some “drop testing” I’ll post the results and target pics here in a minute.

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    My wife’s 3-15x42 SFP lost zero this year on a antelope hunt when she stood up from glassing and knocked the rifle over on its left side from a bipod. Not a big fall, maybe 9” but it was on baseball sized rocks. About an hour later she missed a goat twice, both impacts were in the exact same...

    Tikka T3x upgrades

    If it’s a T3X then you already have a steel recoil lug so that’s not needed. As far as bolt handles Sterk is far and away my favorite. In 300 wm I would be looking at new bottom metal/mags just to be able to feed longer COAL. Long action cartridges in Tikkas are a tough go with the factory...

    Hunting & Fishing Tripods for hunting

    I would definitely get a head that can pull double duty, not sure where your planning on hunting but if it’s a diy hunt in the mountains then weight is everything. I’ll use my heavier shooting tripod and a super lightweight tripod if I’m really close to the truck so I can run my binos and...

    AeroPress coffee

    X2! We all need to bug Aeropress and ask for a larger model. Something around 16 oz.

    AeroPress coffee

    There really isn’t any clean up. Smack the puck out and give it a rinse. When I’m camping I don’t even bother with the rinse.

    What is this newfound faggotry?

    Think your talking about the guy who owned Jimmy John’s, not Papa John’s. You can’t get fat on Papa John’s because it’s hard to choke down more then a few bites of that nasty shit.

    Federal 210M and 300 PRC?

    I tried CCI 250’s, 215’s and 215m’s in my prc and couldn’t get my ES even close to where it needed to be. I have had great luck with 210m’s in the 300 wm so I figured I would try them. Cleaned up to a ES of 9 over two 5 shot strings. When I first started loading them in the 300 wm (tighter es...
