Would you buy this scope?

A burrito without meat just wouldn't be a burrito.

Come down here and eat a breakfast burrito with eggs, refried beans, and cheese with tapatio and your eyes will be opened.

Thank you and I see your point.
There's a place here locally that does 'redneck burritos' and they're pulled pork and slaw, in a burrito. We make them at home with both pulled pork and brisket. Best food ever.

Alright folks I’m ready to get back to the scope and off the food questions haha.

I don't know, but a fried cheese stick is a burrito for sure.

Depends…but it could be just fried cheese,,,,or a Crispito, chimichanga, flauta or taquito, depending on size, crispiness and outer layer, and extra proteins added

The scope is a burrito, by the way.

Alright I’m done.

On the off topic of wood stocks… MDT Timbr is interesting. Not sure on the bag hook type toe, but it looks to have a slight negative comb (still below bore line though).

Any experience or thoughts on them?

Eggs are essentially liquefied chicken, therefore meat.

Almost every single legitimate thread is destroyed by jackasses here now. This used to be a forum where people that actually cared about gear, technical conversations, and information came to learn and share. Now it’s filed with immature children whose sole claim to life is memes, and stupid Facebook conversations.

Your scope and stock got made. You did good

Looking at reticle on new scope. Looks like you ger about 1.5 mils to use for holdovers, gets you to about 350yards for average cartridge.

So would you do reticle holders to 350, then dial anything further?

Your life - and I mean even, or especially - the parts of it that are more important than shooting - will go smoother if you learn to dial it back and be able to laugh every now and then. Someone out there in the world is going to disagree with you or think something is funny when you don't - or heaven forbid not drop everything based on your experiences - and you'd do well to learn to live with it.

That's free life advice. take it or not.

To be fair I ran out of questions to ask about the scope and got tired of arguing about mils...

But I thought of another real question. Why Tenebraex caps? They work OK on my Trij, not the most watertight and sometimes they flip open on my pack, and I think I've heard you say in the past you don't like them. Is there another option that uses that same thread pattern? Or could you recommend some that slip over the tube?

Im sure you could find a scope bumper that would fit.

Ryan was saying on Cliff G's podcast that S2H is going to or already does carry and sell the scope bumper caps so I'd be stunned if we won't at least have an option to buy those for this scope. I'm always at risk of being totally wrong though.

Ah that's right, those are the preferred option around here. They aren't watertight though are they? I have to plan for rain so I need watertight caps.

The best caps I ever used were some cheapo Monstrum ones like this:

Thick rubber boot that could be taped to the scope bell and a pretty tight sealing cap. Were watertight for as long as I used them. Could get a pair of these as well for sure, just curious if the Tenebraex threaded feature was weighed against other options.

No sir. Dial elevation, hold wind. IF you need rapid elevation change, then use reticle. For instance, I used the new scopes on three deer, at three different distances- dialed to the center, knew the closest if the deer ran towards me was almost exactly a mil short, and the farther one was almost exactly a mil long- the spots were about 100 yards apart. Shot the center one, then held 1 mil high in the farther, then they ran towards me and held .8 mil low. Three deer, in about 11 seconds. Exactly what the reticle was made for.
Also have used it for follow up shots- animal is hit, runs closer or father away- hold in the reticle.

Because there really isn’t a great option. Tenebrex are pretty standard, they work and it lets people use them if desired. For me, it’s scope Bumpers.
