I have a Vortex Diamondback HP 4 - 16 x 42, med. vortex rings, and a scope level for $350.00 if your interested.

I appreciate that but I have been looking at a 5-25x50 range for a scope. My eyes arent what they used to be.

That's why I'm selling the 4-16 power!

Duct tape, gloves, straps, ....

Do you also own a shovel and have a tarp or large garbage bag?

Looks like a kidnapping kit to me.

All starting to add up

Just arrived

The CZ Scorpion is completed. It received a pinned and welded muzzle device, then converted it to the Thordsen stock.

Ohhh, fun times.

I'd love one of those flash bangs. The perfect moment would be about 11p when everyone's quiet and thoughtful staring at the campfire after their 10th beer or so

I finally bought the crossbow, arrows, and broad heads.

Almost missed the box of Winchester 20 gauge #5's in the pic

Rage broadheads is what I use. Nasty.

Glad to hear you like the rage broadheads. I was super nervous because they were cheapest by a descent amount. The guy at cabelas said for crossbows they aren’t super important since I’m at 425 FPS and said these are a smoking deal. I got the 6 pack with a nice zipped case for $35.00.
Yeah I wasn’t happy with the price of the #5 shot but haven’t seen lead shot in ages so I bought one.

Call me crazy but I like fixed Brodheads. I don't trust mechanicals.

Part 2 might make everything make more sense. Mostly the hitch recovery point lol.

It still looks like you're going to kidnap and torture somebody.

From the joke thread... https://nygunforum.com/threads/whats-your-favorite-joke.1770/post-27344

Installed my new Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 on my hunting rifle. EGW HD pic rail, and medium 1" Vortex Pro vertical split rings. I had a bad experience a couple of years ago with my base coming loose in the field after a sloppy, imprecise install. Made sure I did it right with a sled, level bubbles, a regular screwdriver, and a torque screwdriver.


Good timing too, since before going home I confirmed the zero on its iron sights. I can just barely get a sight picture over the rail, which makes me happy I decided on a 6 o'clock hold instead of dead-on. From an unsteady rest, I shot one 5-shot group and one 2-shot group. I janked 1 called flier on the 5-shot. Both were just over ½ inch at 25 yards, so a hair over 2 MOA. I know the rifle can shoot better, but limited practice make me happy with that for hunting under 100 yards. Gonna zero the scope ¼" low at 25 yards for maximum point blank range and verify my results at 100 yards.

Chronographed the load also –
Hornady 130 grain American Whitetail soft point. Shots: 5. Average: 2935 fps. Min: 2903. Max: 2952. Extreme Spread: 49. Standard Deviation: 19.5.

Nice haul

I came across a few primers today. Looks like I'll be shooting the big fellers a bit.
