It is smaller than I thought it would be, but I got used to it.

I have a Rem 597 bull barrel in .22 WMR. They have been discontinued and had a bad reputation. Mine on the other hand is a tack driver and never had reliability issues. My biggest complaint is that they do not have a high capacity mag for it, but even on fast and furious shooting days my three mags are enough fun.

It is a nutria killer for sure. I think it destroying a lot of meat on a squirrel is a little overblown. The point of a rimfire for me is to take good shots to reduce any meat contamination so go for the head.

I also have a BCA .22 WMR AR and I love it, but it a little heavier than I would like, other than that it is a blast to shoot and pretty reliable.

I found him borderline autistic in the movie. Maybe that was the point.

I also thought it was a little too simplistic of a very complex thing. I know not every movie is going to get fleshed out like Oppenheimer, but I think it needed more than what was given. It was a little sappy.
Yeah I really liked that reticle. I will report back once it comes in!
I have been eyeing a 1x prism scope for a few years now because I have an astigmatism and can't really use a red dot.

I was back and forth between a Primary Arms, Swampfox, Vortex. The primary arms is definitely the nicest, but also the most expensive. But I just pulled the trigger today and ordered one from Optics Planet.

1. Who in here uses a 1x prism and how do they like it?

2. How long will I have to wait to get my Optics Planet order lol?

Update:

Finally got it in. Optic Planet did their job, but the US Postal service was slow as molasses.

Mounted it last week and went and shot it today on my AR. The reticle is a little smaller than I would like, but I got used to it. Was banging steel out to 100 easy, and little inch targets at 25. Overall I really like it. Very clear. Would definitely buy another one.
He went to Rummel.

I had my small flat boat come off the trailer once and go down a river, I ran home and got the bay boat to find it. I was way to embarrassed to get anyone else involved. I definitely would not be giving an interview on the news lol
Dude painted cars for 45 years. He just retired. I never heard him complain about the actual work my entire life. He would complain about the people though!

I am a good bit younger than most on here, but dude never had a heater in the truck and just put us in the single cab with a big sombrero looking blanket.

He bought a 1934 firetruck to restore, but never had the money to finish it. One day I was playing outside and heard the loudest scream of my life. He was working on the motor under it and somehow fuel started coming out, he apparently turned his head to keep it out of his eyes, but it went right into his ear.

We had to drain the gas tank in our boat a few times because it got moisture in it, so we would have multiple five gallon buckets of gas on the side of the house, and a lot of times we would "go take a ride" and get rid of it.

I have seen him sheetrock and float a whole house by himself in a weekend, but don't expect him to know how to use a racket strap.
Yeah the tiger saving Rick from being executed really did it for me. I didn't hate the Negan stuff like a lot of people did, but once we got to the Kingdom I was done.
I agree with everything you said.

I noticed that last week of duck season a lot of the grown men that hunt by us gossip more than women. I think that is one of the main reasons they go.
That might have killed Tony Soprano.
Pt. a la Hache area, killed limits of teal. No big ducks were seen. Water fell out on us really fast and one boat got stuck.
Prodrive is not gonna be the fastest or lightest, but in my opinion it has the least arm fatigue and no belt is great. Like others have said, the reverse is great.

Pt. a La Hache we killed our limit of mostly teal and a few Pintail despite having no water.

I would definitly buy a Vortex, they are great scopes, but I would probably go a little higher than their crossfire - II series. I have a Diamondback which they may not still make, but it is a great scope.

I just read the article and the only evidence they site is that one scientist disagrees with NOAA about a winter in New York for one year. Other than that there is no evidence that they constantly manipulate data.

I don't necessarily believe in Global warming, but I do think our climate changes.

Interesting things have been written on why official weather stations should not be at Airports because they are surrounded by concrete. Also the impact of growing urban areas and concrete holding more heat. I think that does skew data.
In May I took my family out to go walk the dog. This included me, my wife (no pics), my 2 year old son, and dog. My dog was in the kennel in the back of my truck, I let the dog out to stretch its legs while I got my son out of the carseat. As soon as I got him out, this dude who was high as a kite had two pitbulls off leash making a beeline right for us. I told my wife to get my son back in the car and I grabbed my dog and got her back in the truck bed quick. These two dogs were trying to get at my dog all while jumping on my truck with their paws scratching the shite out of my truck.

The owner was in slow motion trying to get his dogs to stop, but they wouldnt because they were off least, and the dogs kept jumping up on my wife as she was getting my son in the truck. She finally did, but I had to stand there keeping my dog secure in the truck bed, because she wanted to go at it with these two pitbulls, and I mean this went on for a good two minutes. I was seeing red. The dude barely apologized and just walked away, got in his car and left.

I was so mad and concerned about my family I didn't even think about my truck. So once I cooled down I realized it was scratched to shite. And I never found the guy. I am not trying to sound like a hot head, but if I would have confronted the guy it would not have been good with all the dogs involved and my family.

Needless to say most of those dogs are aggressive and try to entice a fight.

PALH mafia? I aint heard that term.

But we did great, nine hunters and nine limits on opening day. I did not go today.
I only care about him being 1-0 in the W/L
Mine does this too. If it goes too shallow it starts blinking and doesn't come back on for a few minutes.
