    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    If all of your boxes are checked, expect a MSRP of $4k with a $3k street price because there is always a trade off somewhere.

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Ive been looking for an improvement on the NF 4-16x42 so im here for this even at 32oz. Do I wish it was magically half a pound lighter? Sure.. But then do we risk reliability like the rumors of the 4.5-22x LHT?

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Ah, moving the goal posts... Why can't people just man up and accept when they said something dumb. lol Its not hard.

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    1. I haven't had issues. 2. If you have issues, tighten it down with your mk1 hand? Are you still standing by its the most critical fastener for the rifle's main task of putting a hole in a target? You should do some actual testing instead of this theoretical game. I've been transparent that...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I dont know about this line of reasoning...We see hand tight barrels work fine, but no way in hell would I go hand tight on my scope base or rings. As long as the headspace is correct, you dont even need all of the threads on most tenons to be able to handle standard pressures. Consistency is...

    Impact 737R vs Terminus Zeus

    This might end up being a cross over episode with the barrel torque thread but... If you are looking for the ability to change on the fly with minimal tools/effort, the Zeus QC is what I went with for one of my fun builds. If you are changing barrels with a wrench to get some proper torque...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I found a snap of the wrist to not quite be consistent enough. Small wrench solved the consistency problem but it still isn't a lot of torque. Would love to see a study that proves that 100+ is better than 30, but I don't think anyone in the world can shoot the difference it might make with all...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I can't shoot well enough to tell the difference between hand tight and 100 ft lbs. I prefer ~30 for consistency based on my own limited testing. After seeing the results of TacOps rifles which are supposedly torqued to a number I can't count to, I find it hard to argue against going to the...

    Trying to pick a bipod

    I don't compete. I can perform fine with a Harris, but prefer an Atlas at a minimum. Took a friend and his dad shooting out to 600 yards tonight. Both instantly complimented the Atlas when they got situated behind my rifle. They both use a Harris on their rifles. I am still eyeballing a TBAC to...

    What defines an MPVO?

    I disagree if you rarely use the 2x and tend to live at the 6x+. A lot of 1-8x are disappointing near 8x.

    What defines an MPVO?

    Thats the funny part: I am not sure if I think it is a MPVO either. lol My hunt for a "MPVO" started when I wanted a small step up from my NF 2.5-10x24 on a light compact bolt gun. Now that is an outlier at 18oz and 10" long... I was willing to sacrifice the package for a little more...

    What defines an MPVO?

    Do people consider a 4-16x to be a HPVO? The NF 4-16x ATACR is only 0.6" longer than the S&B 1-8x that people used to drool over for a LPVO. Its only 0.3" longer than the Steiner 2-12x and Athlon 2-12x which are apparently almost perfect MPVO. If they put the 4-16x ATACR on a diet, is it still...

    50 bmg barrel length question

    1. Determine your use case distance. 2. Plug ballpark velocity numbers into a ballistic calc. 3. Compare the drop/wind calls at your use case distance 18" vs 29" have wildly different use cases in my mind so the results should be obvious.

    ChatGPT vs Grok vs Gemini vs Applied Ballistics

    Holy shit.. this is like someone making a video comparing how well different styles of hammers can screw in a screw. Using a word predictor for a math problem is always going to be disappointing. I am looking forward to AGI where the chatbots can leverage mathematical and physics models though.

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce MPVO????

    I don't understand the people pushing for erector multiples that come with physics compromises in a weight/size class that physically can't contain the compromises, with a mag range that comes with reticle compromises... I originally wanted the 2.5-10x to become an updated 3-12x. Light and...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Im fine with brands sticking a single reticle in their cheaper tiers and calling it good. It keeps costs down, or allows the costs to go into overall quality/reliability. BUT I would really like to see Vortex join others in providing a little variety in the prosumer tiers. I can shoot fine with...
