    Shortest baffle muzzle brake?

    Hawkins has a 2 port that is probably about as short as you'll find.

    Top scope brand that costs 4k+ keeps cracking

    I'm pretty sure I can press anything at anytime in anything and get any kind of result you want.

    Top scope brand that costs 4k+ keeps cracking

    My bet is one of @Dirty D 's creatures sat on it and cracked the glass. OP is just ashamed to admit it.

    Top scope brand that costs 4k+ keeps cracking

    I think that may be what he meant with "this particular mount" as in your other mounts of this brand/type may be fine. But maybe this one is fucked. But since we don't have any details everyone is just guessing anyways.

    Top scope brand that costs 4k+ keeps cracking

    Then why start a thread about it? If you're not willing to actually state what happened why even talk about it? I have a scope (nobody's knows what kind), I torqued it into some rings (you did mention ARC), the scope shit the bed ( the manufacturer has been great), I torqued the...

    Top scope brand that costs 4k+ keeps cracking

    I love cryptic shit posts that lack information on who, what, when, where, and why. They really add value to this forum and give the reader useful information that they may act on.

    Hawkins Precision Long Action Hunter DBM and Flush Magazine

    Is there a plan for a standard (.30-06, .280AI) version of the LA mag?

    Zero Compromise Optic 2022 and beyond Poll

    There really needs to be a equivalent to the NXS 2.5-10x42 with FFP and locking turrets. At least that is what I am most interested in.

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    Flattop stocks are quoted at 6-8 weeks as they are already built and just need to be inletted. Full stock builds are 5-6 months.

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    I ordered a flattop (6-8 week lead time) LRH in August hoping to have it by Antelope season at the end of October. I still don't have it. Last I heard (a month ago) they were waiting for the mini-chassis to finish it up. Maybe I'll be able to hunt with it next year.......

    Zero Compromise Optic 2022 and beyond Poll

    I get that, and it might just be wishful thinking on my part. As light as possible is my preference. I have a TT 3-15H and something would essentially need to be significantly lighter to make me replace it. I would have snagged a 2.5-10 NXS in a heartbeat if it was FFP and had locking turrets...

    Zero Compromise Optic 2022 and beyond Poll

    A 20 oz. 3-12 or 3-15ish, that dials reliably, with locking turrets or locking elevation and capped windage, and a FFP reticle that doesn't require illumination to see at low power.

    Density Altitude Help Please

    I didn't read all the responses but Temp is still an extra variable in Ballistics programs even though it is also included in DA because we model air as an ideal gas. In an ideal gas the speed of sound is dependent solely on temperature and since these programs reference a table of drag...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    I think we are getting hung up on frames of reference. And yes, the (de)acceleration of the projectile due to gravity when fired up or down pales in comparison to the effects of drag. My .260 with whatever my last environmentals were goes from 2790fps to 1480fps over 1000yds with TOF of 1.48s...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    No worries! And again, you're right in that there is no component of gravity that acts other than directly down to the center of the earth. The only thing that changes is how we are looking at that vector. Like you said gravity doesn't care how we launched the bullet or even that it is moving...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    You're correct, and I probably have done a poor job of explaining. Gravity always points the same way, however when we are looking at an angle other than purely horizonal gravity points slightly towards or away from us. That component (towards or away) is really small with comparison to drag...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    @Baron23 I don't know how to explain it differently, sorry We are measuring deflection from our line of sight. That deflection due to gravity is maximum when our line of sight is level and gravity acts perpendicular to it. As soon as the angle of our line of sight changes the component of...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    In your hypothetical in a vacuum, gravity would only act perpendicular to the line of sight with the magnitude of the green arrow and back towards the shooter with the magnitude of the blue arrow. The blue and green components add together to form the red gravity vector. Keep in mind there...
