    Forget your rangefinder?

    Are you saying your wife has resting sarcasm face?

    Forget your rangefinder?

    Also ….back when nobody had rangefinders except the military… we used the reticle in our SFP scopes. The length of your quarry’s legs or depth of chest are known quantities within a few inches. Figure out how these match up to your hashes slashes points or dots ant various yardages and you...

    Forget your rangefinder?

    We really have to invent or adopt by consensus a sarcasm emoji. For a second I was under the impression that he really thought that a .557 super ultra nitro mag +++ actually possessed the same trajectory as a laser beam.

    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    Shot ammo is made by dropping molten lead (or whatever material) from a tower into coolant, then scraping up the results and stuffing it in a plastic case. The precision required for even very cheap rifle ammo is a lot higher. Gonna cost ya. The cost of rifle ammo is one reason why I reload.

    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    DDowning nailed it in post #11. Almost all the time the cheaper stuff is just that, poorly made using poor materials. Sometimes …. Rarely… you’ll find something that’s cheap and good. The other trend I’ve noticed, if a manufacturer makes a run of 70000 widgets in purple size A, they will...

    Did it make the jump?

    I think every one int the western US should stop harvesting deer and elk immediately. Especially in NV. I will take one for the team and continue to hunt NV and we can all see if anything happens to me. (Besides regularly filling tags with big ol’ muleys…. ) I would be willing to do the same...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    My only comment about the masculinity of any caliber is this. If your masculinity depends on the gun you shoot and the vehicle you drive… you’re pretty insecure about it in the first place. Real masculinity is loyalty and service …. being a loving and present father and husband, bringing...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    No… but I have eaten the entire butt end of a quiche. I generally find it unnecessary to shoot them, as they are slow and docile. Don’t shoot em, just sneak up behind them, grab and eat.

    Let’s talk about quiche some more. It’s more interesting cuz it has bacon.

    Scope level

    Thanks for taking the time. Awesome explanation.

    Scope level

    The upper two tables are easier to interpret… and my takeaway is if your vertical crosshair is plumb you’re still gonna be pretty close even if you did a bad job leveling your scope. But if your scope is mounted perfectly and you hold your rifle at a 5 degree cant, you’re gonna be off by…...
