Check that. I guess you do know what you’re talking about, even if a tad glib about saying it.
BUMP
I’m FOR the military doing EVERYTHING legal to stop these people from coming into our country.
I support a law passed stating that NO ONE WHO HAS BROKEN INTO THE UNITED STATES CAN EVER BE A CITIZEN.
I want illegals exported back to their home countries... I want ‘anchor baby’ scams settled by the Supreme Court and stopped.
I support the Wall...
BUT I DO NOT want to give democrats - - and the organizers of these caravans - - the photo-ops they’re looking for... That means any ‘right wing free lancers’ need to trust President Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis... and stay the hell away. It’s not just stopping the caravan - democrats are attempting to steal the election with pictures of dead children, wounded women, or anything else that might move the vote toward democrats.
YOU want the Wall built and laws passed that safeguard us from hordes of millions of new illegals?? Then you have to play smart. Understand the real reason for the caravan - it’s NOT to get a illegals into the country - it’s to sink the election for Republicans. Our win has to be to win the election - hold the Senate - keep the House.
WE CAN DO THAT BY NOT GIVING DEMOCRATS THE PHOTO OPS THEY WANT - THE ONES THEY’VE DONE THIS WHOLE CARAVAN STUNT TO GET.
I bet this is PSY-OPS against the Caravan folks. “If you cross, you might get shot at by crazy American racists with guns!” LOL!
The democrats are going to create whatever “photo-ops” they want...You ought to know that...If it requires the military to fire on the invaders, then that’s what will happen...
Your post would be a little more accepting if you would refrain from so many capitals...It only makes you look angry and threatened....For what it’s worth...
I haven't seen that to be an issue out to 1000 yards, it's more an extreme long range (1500+) concern. Most high end glass has a sufficient reticle to deal with subtension especially when all you have to shoot is man sized MOA. Be good at establishing your range. I'm more concerned with a scope that can maintain an extreme high level of precision on the turrets over time under field stress. For that you have to go with premium European glass ($2000+) although Nightforce has been putting out some sweet stuff and I think those are manufactured domestically. Lately I've fallen in love with the ACSS reticle. This reticle lets you shoot out to 800 meters without ever adjusting the knobs - just use the built in rangefiner and hold over as indicated. You can shoot between 1-2 MOA very quickly after acquiring the target. I just fitted out a 308 scout rifle with a primary arms 1-6 power ACSS reticle scope (under $300) and it is very sweet. Very sweet.
Obviously, you’re shooting a better class of glass than I am.
Last time I bought optics for my .308, even with the mil-dot reticle...and we’re talking 1k+ scopes here, the crosshairs looked like 2x4s.
Very disappointing.
Yeah, that’s the range where the bump occurs in scopes. You can buy a very high quality scope for 250-650 dollars but to take the next jump in real quality you have to go up to the $2000 range. I don’t see a real difference in the $500 scopes and the $1200 scopes to justify the cost. Mostly a bunch of features I rarely use. Two of my friends are crack shot long distance shooters so I get to play with their toys and shoot on their property. I’m a 800-1000 meter shooter at best and reliable at 500-800. But you really ought to try the ACSS reticle if you get a chance - if you are shooting 380 then its probably right up your alley. There’s a video on youtube on how to use the reticle which is what I used to learn it. Once you get it down it’s a blast. (pun intended)
380 = 308 (typo)
Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of land I have access to with that kind of distance, so I have to go by group to test my skills...wind doping excepted.
Of course, shooting the eraser off a pencil at a hundred yards for hard core hunters has its own brand of joy.
Well, ain't you just a ray of sunshine.
Could be a psyop directed at the invaders. They see and hear what's in the US media.
Thanks, I’ll be more careful about that...
