You shouldn't waste your money on something that's effectively worthless. Put that money in an envelope and throw $5-20 in it every week until it will buy you that Vortex Venom.

Well, there you have it. Since "threads" is American slang for clothing, I was misreading this as a possible reference to starching clothes. I stand corrected.

If you want to get into a superb entry-level optic on a small budget, I suggest getting one of these: https://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-venom-rifle-scopes.aspx

Being that I'm but a mere machinist and layperson, please explain what "season the threads" means...

With no disrespect intended to Patton, I think if he saw how we've squandered the freedom those men fought to preserve, he might think it appropriate to mourn them. My thanks to all who have served, while we're on the topic...

Suit yourselves, ya want me to hold your hands and spoon feed you, fine with me....

1. In the decade or so that I've been here, it's been extremely rare to see a 1:10 twist barrel to perform well below the 168gr bullet weight. Go heavier with your bullets. 2. GIGO - Garbage in, garbage out. Match ammo is going to be the best indicator of your true accuracy potential. 3. If you aren't confident in your gear, your fundamentals will tend to be executed poorly. Get an optic and rings combination that's unimpeachable in quality, this eliminates your kit as the weak link and leaves you with a much clearer idea of the accuracy potential of you and your rifle combined. 4. A 3-shot group won't tell you very much about how accurate your rifle is, I'd shoot at least 5-shot groups, if not 10-shot groups.

That's weird.....

That's the spirit!

You gotta find a way to cease being the low-hanging fruit....

According to @Lonewolf McQuade your dime spends as good or better than anyone else's....

It just goes without saying that anybody that doesn't have one owes it to themselves to get one....

He wouldn't have even upgraded to the Commodore if the cat hadn't chewed the beads off his abacus....

There's not a sensitivity teacher in the world that deserves that.....

Why have you not gotten it yet, what's the hold up?

She's a great lady your mom, worthy of sainthood in my opinion!

Give the monkey caffeine!

Yes sir! That's next...

Nobody likes a show-off Rex.... 😛

I have a 30 MOA rail on the way from EGW for the Tikka!

Done.

^^^ That's the saddest part of it all, by the time they get perspective the guillotine blade is already whistling through the air....

Nope. NOT. AT. ALL. But the benefits... OMG the benefits....
