  1. The AVA seems to like the 22gr FX Hybrid slugs. Ballistics with the FX Hybrid slugs is on par with 22rf short.
  2. https://youtu.be/oUpBxCbi5o8?t=6 Yes a tank is a must. Hand pumping 4350psi would be a chore. I have ordered a Yongheng compressor since I live in such a rural area. All the reviews rave about the gun as far as what you get for the price point. I went with wood for the added heft and I'm not a fan of "Tupperware" stocks anyway.

  3. What are you talking about? I've been an active member on this forum for some time and my signature hasn't changed in years.
  4. Winchester Super X in 28ga has 1oz of shot at 1205fps, only 10fps behind 20ga high brass. Mine was deadly on pheasants out to 35+ yards.
  5. I owned some DeHanns made by Huglu in Turkey. Very high quality for the price. Unfortunately CZ bought the production out and eliminated some of the nicer options.
  6. We certainly can agree on that. Too much chance for confusion in the heat of the moment.
  7. But that's' the whole point of + or - 3" PBR sighting in. You don't have to "compute" anything, just aim for center of vitals and squeeze the trigger. I was just pointing out that a simple diplex reticle, at any range out to 350yds will do anything that a BDC reticle will with a much more practical reticle for quick target acquisition. Ah, but there's the rub. The bullet will only go "where the center of the reticle is" at one point along the arc of the trajectory when sighted in at close range. Typically most scopes are mounted about 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" above the bore access. It's even worse with "see through mounts" that can move the LOS more than 2" above the bore axis. The POI starts out below the POA at close ranges. Sight in at 50yds and it will immediately start to fall below the LOS as the yardage increases. Let's assume a 9" vital zone for a whitetail deer. With + or - 3" PBR, the bullet will impact "where the reticle is" at about 30yds, be about 1" high at 50yds and 2 1/2" high at 100yds. One would not "miss" the vitals if the crosshairs were placed just behind the pocket of the shoulder at any of those ranges. At 150yds the bullet would impact 3" high, still a quick humane kill with a center of vitals hold. After 150yds the bullet impact would start to get closer to the POA until it was dead on at 250yds. Somewhere around 275- 300yds (depending on velocity and ballistic coefficient) the bullet will impact 3" below the crosshair POA. Still a quick humane kill; with center of vitals hold. I have killed something like 30 deer in the 21 years I have lived in NYS at ranges from 50 to about 275yds. I never hold over or under at any of those ranges, I aim for the (vertical) center of the vitals. I have never missed a deer that could attributed to how I sight my rifles in, nor have I ever had to trail a deer more than 50yds. If they don't drop right there, I usually find them within 20yds.
  8. You can plug in the same data needed for the BDC to be correct (MV measured over a chronograph, bullet BC and THE DISTANCE OF THE SIGHTLINE ABOVE THE BORE AXIS) for the known subtention of your duplex. That will give you 3 reference points. For example if I use the bottom of the top post as my 100yd POI I will be zeroed at 250yds and the top of the bottom post POI can also be calculated,. I don't have my data in front of me at the moment, but with my 8mm06 A.I. it will be around 350yds. Furthermore, the + or - 3" PBR for the crosshairs will be 280yds, so no holdover needed with a center of vitals hold from just in front of the muzzle to 280yds A duplex reticle can also be used for range estimation. The gap between the top and bottom post subtends 15" in a Leupold 3-9 standard duplex at 300yds so I know that if a mature buck does not fill the gap it is over 300yds. Then the top of the bottom post would be the appropriate aim point. The same subtention values can be used for windage compensation. All this with a reticle that is quicker to acquire in the event of a quick shot.
  9. You've all heard me express my opinion on this subject before. Here is a YouTube video that proves my point.
  10. That's not true when it comes to optical quality. And, that thinking is why our manufacturing jobs are all going to China.
  11. And I should taket he opinion of a deranged Trump zombie seriously? https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna26444467 You're not even worth responding to. I will ignore you from here on out.
  12. Typical short sited thinking of the American car buyer. When you consider resale value a mid level Mercedes cost less to own than a Buick. American made cars have the worst depreciation of almost any. European and Japanese have the highest resale. That's coming from a GM retiree.
  13. I just thought I should add this bit of cautionary warning. If the bolt and receiver numbers don't match, you should seriously consider having the headspace checked! If you don't have access to headspace gauges clamp it in a vice and fire the first round with a string, or at least with arms extended. A 98 Mauser is almost impossible to blow up, but you could get a face full of chamber gases if the headspace is too far out of spec.
  14. And what would Trump's next move be if his coup had been successful? It's a perfect analogy because Hitler improved the economy (although Trump inherited a growing economy for President Obama) and only after he had unquestioned support (loyalty) from those he had duped did he unleash his own depraved ambitions. How long would it have taken him to start a war with Iran with the help of his "ally" Vladimir Putin? How long would it have been before he declared "martial law" (something he floated to overthrow the election BTW) and granted himself special powers that usurped the Constitutional rule of law? America dodged a bullet this time and once this deranged megalomaniac is out from under the umbrella of the office of President, he can be prosecuted for the crimes he committed before he entered office. He was desperate to get 4 more years of immunity so that the statutes of limitation would run out on the money laundering evidence that Deutsche Bank is sitting on. The man is a fraud and has been for years. He inherited his fortune and squandered it on unwise real estate investments. His only success was selling his "brand" (AKA con man)
  15. You're just one more example of the true meaning of "Trump derangement syndrome".
  16. People liked Hitler in 1939, (for some valid reasons) 5 years later, not so much.
  17. Only Pence and the cabinet can do that by invoking the 25th Amendment.
  18. Trump can't open his mouth without lying. It was Mike Pence that deployed the National Guard at the insistence of congress and other federal authorities. Trump was to busy having a temper tantrum in the Whitehouse.
  19. Those deranged knuckle dragging imbeciles that stormed the capitol are the best example yet of the true meaning of "Trump derangement syndrome"!
