    Rifle Scopes Am I crazy to get high rings so my scope will work with any rifle I get down the road

    ARC M10 High (AR height) mount gives a little over a quarter inch clearance on a standard AR rail with a 56mm objective with caps: And a little over 5/8ths inch clearance on a 25MOA Burris rail on a Howa with factory heavy barrel for the same scope: The M10 rings in Xtra-Hi are like a tenth...

    Precision Underground rear bags?

    Love my bag (ELR 3D light fill), it feels pricey for a small rear bag at first glance but holy crap is it nice indulging in really high quality stuff every now and again. BTW, it's not just for rifles: sighted in a new 300blk pistol upper with it today

    Rifle Scopes Anything better sub $200?

    Not familiar with the Bushys in that price range but Bushnell has always bit me when it wasn’t their top end stuff. I would run as fast as I could from the Vortex Crossfires. FFP and even probably mil/mil are getting into the lot-to-ask category at that price; I’d rather have better glass...

    Rifle Scopes Am I crazy to get high rings so my scope will work with any rifle I get down the road

    Good point, I've totally gotten that with just a 25MOA rail and low rings on a rifle with a 26" barrel. Weirdly annoying, esp at low power.

    NFL and the Black National Anthem...WTF????

    Yep but you're making a moral argument, not a market argument. It's also one example out of a million of why I'm not a market absolutist, ha. Oh and as for the "back when the played for pride and love of the game" thing...yeah, sure, and I remember when the billionaire owners weren't just in it...

    10 Years ago

    Moved to Chicago 3yrs ago and it's weird to me how little the 'Hawks play into the general city culture compared to the Cubs or Bears (or even White Sox), especially since they had a 3 Cups in 5 years run just 5-10yrs ago. Weird. CO kid and Avs fan but I'll still never forget that hilarious...

    Movie Theater Midsommar

    Wasn't terrible but didn't do it for me; 've been on a bit of a psychological horror kick lately and both The Lighthouse (Amazon Prime) and The Witch (Netflix) were much more affecting personally. I think those are the by the same director too. Kept me thinking about them a couple days later in...

    Rifle Scopes Am I crazy to get high rings so my scope will work with any rifle I get down the road

    I swap a Razor G2 between multiple rifles, including a two bolts and a couple AR uppers, via a high QD mount. The high mount is needed in order to get it to fit on everything, but it works just fine for me (adjustable cheek pieces on everything helps or course, but you probably already have...

    Why shouldn't I build a 7-08?

    I don’t think I could tell a difference between 6.5CM and 7-08 if I were blindfolded. Could pretty easily tell between either of them and a .308 though, esp with 168grs or higher. I think most people need about 15-20% change in recoil energy to win the Pepsi Challenge with any consistency.

    Handguard length vs gas system length

    Since I happen to have all 4 here in the room with me and a tape measure... Pistol: 6” Carbine: 9” Middy: 11” Rifle: 14” Handguards of at least that length will completely (but just barely) cover your typical lo pro gas block. Note: this isn’t about looks or preferences, just the minimum...

    Handguard length vs gas system length

    For drop in, it’s distance to the FSB (carbine, mid or rifle). They fit by category; don’t worry about inches. For free float, don’t pay any attention to the designation as a manufacturer can call anything a “carbine” or “rifle” or whatever length handgurard. They’re for rough lengths only. Go...

    Movie Theater Battlestar Galactica

    Is it on Peacock? I've watched about a half dozen episodes at random times over the last ~dozen years and liked it but never followed up and stuck with it largely because of availability. Ready to watch it through if it's easily available somewhere cheap/free. All my sci-fi fan friends are...

    My irrelevant take on the future of America...

    Actually, I'm optimistic. Five or so years from now both Trump and Biden will be a bad memory and we'll have a decent, real Republican in office (and likely a Repub senate after the Dems overreach from their big 2020 win) and this personality cult experiment gone horribly wrong will be...

    Rifle Scopes WTB PRS scope

    In that case, Ares ETR, Cronus BTR, Tract Toric PRS, Meopta Optika6, or...if you think you're going to go Razor Gen2 EBR-7C eventually (I did), get the new Strike Eagle 5-25 that has the same EBR-7C reticle, tube size, and turret locking design as the Razor Gen2 so it's as simple and...

    Rifle Scopes WTB PRS scope

    Can’t afford it by $100 or can’t afford it by $1,000? The recommendation range is pretty wide on sub-$1,600 scopes.

    Why shouldn't I build a 7-08?

    Just as soon as it's available in factory ammo for us non-reloaders But seriously I'd hunt with that over a 6.5CM any day of the week and twice on Sunday. 162gr .284s @ 2800 in a short action is sexy.
