    As others have stated, $50 won't get you much more than a cheap drone that doesn't really fly all too well.  You didn't mention if you wanted something for LOS (line of sight) or FPV (First Person View) flying.  FPV would most definitely be more expensive.  If your kid is serious about getting into FPV drones, you may want to start out with a simulator first.  Something like DRL(DroneRacingLeague) or VelociDrone.  Once they can comfortably fly in the simulator, then look into purchasing a starter whoop kit like some of the ones ESB mentioned above.

    I've been a member of RDforum since 2012 but I hadn't really bothered with SAAVY and whatever connection was for the V1G1.   Now that it's bluetooth direct, it's much better. That said, there is a fairly steep learning curve to JBV1 and I am familiar with most of the terminology!   I guess with great power comes great responsibility. 

     

    I never used Savvy.  Just used a V1C for BT connectivity.  The only good thing is that once you learn JBV1, you can try out YAV1 if you want as the main configuration items are the same.  The most critical are the sweeps.  Everything else is convenience.

    The picture above is JBV1 log this AM with the Gen2.

    It is a little confusing but I'm working through it.

     

     

    There is a ton of information on rdrforums.org.  Vortex Radar on Youtube also has some tutorials.  The nice thing about JBV1 is that it's updated much more frequently than Yav1.  I used Yav1 for a while and like JBV1 much better.  There is a thread on rdrforums that has recommended sweep settings for different locations.  Last time I checked, believe they had about 5 for NJ.  If you plan on traveling, you can pull up all the recommended settings for each state and just save them as different profiles and upload them for each state you're driving through.

    If you haven't used JBV1, I highly recommend it.  Been using it with my V1 gen 1 ever since it came out.  It is also integrated with Waze now so you will get Waze alerts.  It does take some time to learn, but once you do and set up custom sweeps, it is much less chatty and quiets things down tremendously.

    I would recommend you go to SnipersHide forums and read up on the optics forum on any optic you are interested in. Vortex PST, Burris XTRII, and Sig Tango scopes are all in your price range if you shop around. All are FFP with good glass.

    If your budget is $750, do yourself a favor and don't look through any high end scopes. Once you do, you won't want anything else.

    I remember someone pointing out not to use loctite on polymer, only metal to metal. Said it was on the package warnings. Anyone know why?
    Loctite doesn't work on metal-to-plastic. It's only for metal-to-metal. If you need metal-to-plastic, you can use a drop of CA glue (crazy glue) That's what is used on my RC helicopters and cars if it's really needed. Otherwise, the friction from the plastic on the screw should be enough to hold it.

    Just picked up a Hornady LNL AP from Cabelas. Went through Active Junky for 10% back, had a $20 off $150 coupon, and signed up for a Cabelas card for another $25 off. Ended paying $352.99 shipped. Should get $35 back from Active Junky in a couple months.

     

    You can definitely pick up some good deals if you shop around.

     

    Also picked up an Ultra mount with a quick change plate. Definitely something to consider if you want to raise the press up higher and be able to swap out other presses or tools quickly.

    You can get it from Jet.com with a $20 coupon which brings the price to ~$372 shipped.  Or from Cabelas just dropped the price to $389 and there are $20 coupons floating around as well.   There's an $8 surcharge for the oversized item so price is $379 shipped.  If you go through Amazon, you have to pay tax as well which I don't think you have to pay with Jet or Cabelas.

    No surprise there. Cheyenne's prices are always absurd.

    They seem to be hit or miss. . .at least that's what I've found.  They were priced the same as Eurooptic for a Tikka T3X CTR when no one else had them in stock a few weeks ago.  I've purchased a few firearms from them where they were competitively priced if you factored in transfer fees from purchasing online instead.  But then again, I don't buy AR/AK variants from them so maybe that would explain the pricing differential.

    Cheyenne is overpriced on some items, but I've found that they are pretty reasonable most of the time.  They also surprise me at times by having something in stock that no one else has.  For example, was looking for a Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5CM with a SS barrel.  I checked all around and no one had any in stock, even online vendors.  On a whim, I emailed Cheyenne and they had one in stock and were selling it for the same price as Eurooptics. 

    I did stop in Sportsman's Center since it's on the way back from Cheyenne.  I bought my Liberty safe from them a few years back as well.  It's a shame, but the place just looked really quiet when compared to Cheyenne.  There was only 1 other person in there the entire time I was there whereas Cheyenne had at least 5-7 folks.  The Liberty safes are all gone from the front of the store now so I'm assuming they are not selling them anymore.  Just overall seems like the place is slowly dying.
