Unless your wait is more crushing than my February to December suppressor wait, I don't want to hear your crying!  ;)

No seriously brother, I feel your pain, really I do.  :(

9 months for a barrel !

11 months for a barrel !

Current wait , since July for a 308 lower with #11 serial number and it is finished waiting for paperwork approval.

I just want to point out one more time... SIXTEEN MONTHS for my carbon fiber barrel  :cookoo:

Yeah, the central component for launching projectiles long distance.

I already got that!  And the working rifle!  It's about hitting gnats on the target my main man!

Gaaawwwww!!

Lothar Walther is STILL holding out on my prototype barrel, which is coming up on 2 years of being in the works. I have been offered my money back 3 times now, and I refuse to get anything less out of my deal than the barrel I ordered. It will happen, and if it proves to be as good as I'm thinking it will be, it will become a standard profile for LW and I will be building rifles with them.

Yep.....I with you guys. I know all about the pain opf waiting. Ordered a 12.5" POF 308 at the end of last December. Still hasn't even come in yet......and still get to look forward to the ATF paper trail side of the waiting process.

Gotta love it....right?

The bikini scope cover is one of the see-thru types.  And the battery was close to dead, and I've killed it in less than 5 minutes (I hope).

Of course the scope has that wonderful unconditional guarantee, so if there is an issue I can send it back no issues.

The FFP is f-awesome!  Was scoping some doves out at about 150 yards, cranked it from 4x up to the 16x...very clear.  As good or better than the Leupold Vari-X Tactical I had, and it only went to 12x.

I'll check it out in the dark for clarity in a few hours.

Thanks Rene!

Ok...battery works fine.  Apparently on Vortex PSTs you need to use a penny to CRANK that battery lid down!  No NcStar crap here.  The lid has an o-ring around the outer edge for a seal and a rubber washer type ring about this big >o< in the center of it.  Apparently that needs to be squashola-ed compressed to maintain constant contact.

It works very well in the city dark of our neighborhood.  Was watching palm frawns flutter in the wind.

It will be in bed with me tonight.  When the dark gets scary, the reticle will come on to comfort me.
