CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[T-DOGG]

Just to be argumentative, why an under 50 yard parallax adjustment with 308?

Not for 308, he could use it for rimfire and 308. Two birds, one stone.

 

[T-DOGG]

What's different other than the illuminated reticle, which I'm not sure I would need? Out of curiosity.

I think that and the Athlon has a zero stop too. Probably neither matters to you. Just giving suggestions on alternative to Vortex is all.

I hate messing with scope mounting, so I won't switch. My .22 rifles each have their own scope and I'll buy a new one for any additional rifle I purchase.

I look forward to looking through other scopes at the SGE to see differences between various brands and models.

Probably be a lot more show and tell time this year at SGE.

The 500 yard target will most likely sit back into a slightly wooded area and it really exposes the differences in light collection and transmission of the scopes. Again. my aging eyes....I never thought about any of this before age 45.

If its a windy day, the range set up has, umm, interesting winds.

I am planning on setting it up so we have the pistol and rifle ranges live at the same time.

Is there a scheduled nap time? Asking for some friends...

Snow day! Who wants pancakes and sausage links?

What a ridiculous question. Of course,. The old dudes get grumpy without naps and the kids, well, they are just terrors without a nap.

I’m not sure which group I fit in anymore... I have both of those symptoms... but my test was negative!

There is a guy in eastern Canada that made an old dude/young punk list during your sabbatical.

I think he labeled you, "undetermined"?

For those into the optic hole, check out these videos. SWFA is a lot of scope for the $ (admit: fanboy). I have a 10x mil/mil. Great stuff for guys like us who can't buy S&B or Steiner glass for every rifle.

A Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39 would make a good bolt gun right now for shooting out a few hundred yards or so and not breaking the bank. They're fairly accurate with steel case ammo.

That "steel case" term keeps popping-up !.....I shudder !
For me, only the chamber of a commie AK will ever see such a beast (unles it's war ! )

Will check those out after my current town hall meeting concludes. Irritated that work is interfering with my hobby...

I know, my opinion of steel case ammo does not coincide with the majority in here. I could explain my logic, but it won't change anyone else's opinion. And that's okay. We can't all agree on everything, because if we did, it would pretty boring conversation in here.

 

[MindfulMan]

I know it's out there, it's down to what I can afford to pay. I bought 60 rounds of match grade ammo for $30 per box. I bought non-match grade ammo for $20 per box. More than that is outside of what I'm willing to part with, at least right now. I've depleted my gun fund and then some, so I have to wait a while to let it build back up.

Procuring BCM will deplete the gun fund, no doubt.....but oh, so worth it !

No, please, explain your logic. It is always entertaining.
