hold on, I'm not questioning his opinion or the like. I resonded to something he said to which he replied curtly assuming I was knocking him which I was not. I'm all about people having an opinion and being able to articulate that opinion whether right, wrong or indifferent.

apparently he's not so superior given his lack of reading comp

'Capped turrets and the reticle is Mil-Dot and adjustments are MOA.' 'Capped turrets are great on a hunting rifle but they are just another thing to lose in the field on a "tactical" style rifle.'..........................I have never understood this line of thinking given capped turrets mean nada, leave them off if anyone thinks they are an issue. Absolutely no difference in the resets or turret design between having caps and not for the viper and viper pst lines, truly a non issue. In the old days when resets were not standard on hunting scopes, it was an issue but not today and not on this scope. 'I'd take a pass if I was planning on shooting in anything other than static conditions.'........shooting steel and paper out to 400 so OP is off a bench. 'The math is doable but having matched reticle/adjustments is much mo' simple.'.....the math on that is something a 6th grader can do (my son does..lol), very easy and standard for decades but ABSOLUTELY agree that a matched reticle and adjustments is easier but at 299, for the OPs use, slam dunk imho. No way anyone finds a better scope, better glass, fov, light transmission, all the features at this price point. Good discussion however, I enjoy these types and think the board needs more of them.

think you got your panties in a bunch over nothing. Not sure if you are having a bad day or if your reading comp is off tonight but you totally missed the point of the post. In no way was that negatively directed at you but if you UNDERSTOOD what you were reading, you'd get that.

amazing that they can pass 'feel good' laws with impunity. need to stop this, need to stand up and say no

I thought they were no go, thanks for clarifying. Now, what is it, where did you get it and are there any left?????????????? must have

nice..I thought this was restricted here?

never forget, all politics are local and human behavior most certainly manifest itself to this principle. This is why I have hope

sportsmanguide has the vortex viper 6.5-20x44 with side paralax on sale for 299 which is an OUTSTANDING scope for the price. They are being discontinued for the 50mm objective but for what you described, this is plenty of scope for you

I've had a ton of Vortex scopes over the years and never had an issue. Sorry to hear you did but they have fantastic cs from what I read and gather. OP, go with Burris not only because the glass is fantastic but they are tough as nails. Under 1k you will mostly get sfp but here is one that is ffp, great price and outstanding quality with almost 100% light transmission https://www.cabelas.com/product/bargain-cave/new-this-week/hunting-gear/pc/105591780/c/105633180/sc/105637680/burris-mtac-riflescope/1314488.uts?avad=48247_a1411e685&WT.mc_id=al35987&Subid1=SID&subacctid=35987&subacctname=35987&adname=Custom+Link&adtype=cl&adid=NA&utm_medium=AFF&utm_source=35987&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF

a lot depends on deals too I will say that the ATN scope looks very interesting given it's night vision

I'm a Burris whore, love their scopes one thing on glass and clarity, don't forget fov as fov can make great glass look less stellar with an inadequate fov. I would not buy a PA branded anything given they are merely clones of other brands deconstructed by the chinese. Now the Marshall has changed his model with better materials etc however, the base construction remains the same. Vortex, Leupold, Nightforce, higher end sightron and Burris....stick with these

anyone with a good recommendation for a sled? was thinking about this one; https://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-820310-Lead-Sled-3/dp/B01MU0N826?tag=gunpl-20

how very nationalist socialist err uhh communist err uhh progressive a line......the fact it needs to be said is what is wrong with the left

went to the one in Indy a few years ago and it's like being a kid in Toys R Us for the first time!

yes I know on #1 but it's not something I like. I'd rather 99 guilty go free than 1 innocent get tied up. I liken it to the death penalty although obviously the consequences are not as severe:) as for the 'let the lawyers figure it out', that's morphed into a lot more than contraband and that is an issue. absolutely agree on the breaks too, I agree far more good is NOT heard. I just tend to lean on the safer side with the whole 'intent' stuff. I can say I'm gonna beat my kid but I'd never do it........I don't think....lol...I kid I kid.. good discussion though!!!! very true and it's when the veil of law enforcement will be tested and ripped off. I know no one in my family would support this at all but how many will?

yes sir, thought that is what you meant but wanted to make sure. thx

elaborate please

disagree on point #1; what if I wanted to turn the heat on? I get for 99% of the time that is not true but that 1% is the issue and too many officers do not use judgement here. 'Arrest them and let the lawyers figure it out' is something I've heard more than once. I hate the whole 'intent' laws as it gets to thought policing. that's not the point although I agree. the point is it's an absurd law with no merit for being put in place and that should NOT be allowed.

I'm going out this week to buy the stuff to do my own compliance work. When I think about how much I've spent on this over the past decades I want to vomit. Not hard to do at all either....................

If the barrel profile were heavier, I think one would be hard pressed to find a better rifle for under1k.

I have freeze dried, bars, canned etc.. for backpacking and bug out bag, use the bars/freeze dried for home, canned/freeze dried

agree....one mod that is suggested by guys that have thousands of rounds on their pt1911s is the wilson combat bullet proof extractor. Once this happens, forums suggest damn near invincibility...lol I don't buy into that but will say that it eats everything from steel, to aluminum to brass and I've yet to have a single with it and its accurate, very.

Taurus pt1911...inexpensive, reliable, great reviews

ok gents, pics to follow but she's a shooter. blown away at the accuracy. Federal 180gr soft point power shock printed .98 4shot groups as one was to adjust the dials Federal GM 175gr smk printed .7 Federal GM smk 168gr .97 Hornady 168 elp match was just under 1moa Biggest surprise of the day was the milsurp Dag and zqi ammo where they printed 1moa and 1.1 respectively. I shot 3 groups of the Dag and it was 1moa each time. Will lighten the trigger, can definitely tighten these up as I was shooting off of a bipod and it was cold. will be buying one in 6.5cm tomorrow.
