    20moa base, adjusting for scope line of sight.

    I had written in my first post "Unless Swarovski decided to make a scope with 14 MOA of total travel, but that would be wild" but then I deleted it because it just felt too crazy to put into words.

    20moa base, adjusting for scope line of sight.

    It looks like there are about twenty Swarovski z5s, but that should probably be 55 MOA, not 55 clicks. So you have 27.5 up and 27.5 down with a standard base, a 20moa base will leave you with 7.5 down, which should be enough. If your scope sitting as it is can dial down 20 moa, your new...

    If you have a 308 you're chopping and a 6.5 that you might chop, come up with a chronograph and the best source on this subject can be you.

    "Only accurate rifles are interesting" - AR15 Edition

    The nice thing about building is that when it turns out to not be sub MOA, instead of saying "This $1500 rifle is trash I guess I need a $2000 rifle," you say "This $200 barrel is trash I need a $300 barrel"

    Bigger bike?

    Displacement isn't the biggest difference in trail bikes. A 250 XCW, 350 XCW, 450 XCW and 500 EXC are all going to have more in common with each other than their SXF counterparts, and the 500 EXC will be the easier trailbike than a 250SXF. CRF450X is probably the right bike for you, CRF250R...

    Map & Compass

    I don't know about what resources would teach it, but the concept I have been navigating by for years before I knew the name is "Terrain Association" Look at a map: "What will this look like in real life?" Look at what I'm seeing: "What does this look like on a map?" (this one is easier) And pay...

    What keeps you from hunting OTC California?

    This is the one for me. Simply never thought about it, though to be fair, there are 49 states I don't hunt in and it's just one of them. Now you have my attention. If I get bored with Oregon hunting, Idaho bear is next on account of the dirt cheap tags and knowing many areas from dirt biking...

    Suppressor Barrel Threading - Should Gunsmith know to leave a shoulder?

    Customer wanted 5/8 thread and customer is always right. If he recommended a 1/2" thread the story could have easily been "My gunsmith is an idiot who thinks you can do 1/2" on a 30 cal avoid this guy." He might know it's fine, but he doesn't know that you know it's fine. Adapting a 9/16 barrel...

    How much is too much snow?

    What's left in the forecast? Do I have snowshoes with me? Because if there's enough snow to get me worried about driving out, hiking 5 miles without them is going to be an all day affair. More storm and no snowshoes: 6" might be enough to trigger me to run away Storm is over and I have...

    "Filtering 2.0" can improve your research

    Can't say I have any ideas or thoughts that weren't already posted in the 10 page thread in the elk forum. The front page of elk was ugly for a bit with all the locked threads, but that seems to have calmed down. Probably right on both counts. Like Rokslide is a section of beach on a lake of...

    "Filtering 2.0" can improve your research

    It wasn't a post against you or even Robbie. It was a joke about how years ago the boss of this site thought that sharing unit specific trophy info was great, but the world has changed and now even old threads with that info get locked.

    Is MIL too confusing?

    About my only gripe with the SWFA scopes specifically is that the MIL reticle is not marked inside the scope. I look through the MOA scope: "Those marks are labeled 10-20-30, so I can deduce that the little marks are 2 MOA each" The MIL scope: "Are the big marks 5 or 10? Does that make the...
