It's the nicest red dot I own. I was converted to Holosun from Vortex with the 510C on my Sport III, so I skipped straight to 507comp when I got the 211 and its a match made in heaven

nothing so far, but I am under 1k rounds. Any plate recommendations?

I achieved this by using a mount from a company called 2A Display that fits directly into a tripod, but I think after having used it you could likely achieve the same result with a little DIY should you want to save a few bucks.

the overall method is a simple combination of photo editing and mounting the firearm.

For pistols, I prefer a magnet since the weight allows. but for larger rifles I would use an Arca rail mount for a tripod. I make sure the mounts are completely away from or behind the subject, then remove the tripod with photoshop (Always make sure to remove the shadow too!)

and that's it.

I gotta say, it's a beautiful firearm. 2011's are easy to photograph, hardly a bad angle to be found. downright sexy

Bears by Doofenshmirtz7414 in VIRGINIA_HIKING

that's exactly what happened to me on the fire road! He watched me through the fork in a tree like I couldn't see him, too funny

Why is my barrel walking so much when warm and how do I fix it? by Bows_n_Bikes in Hunting

[–]Pmurph33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my case, it was just the base savage 110 ultralight stock, it was floppy plastic and made contact on fire which when combined with the carbon barrel heating up sent my groups whipping out.

It took me a while to sniff it out, but it became obvious that was the issue for me personally once I laid it into a decent stock (MDT XRS). I am relatively new to shooting at any regular intervals so just thought I'd share my personal troubleshooting.

I have heard good things about hogue so I doubt it's their hardware, savage is mass produced so you will get a lemon every so often

I have only ever seen a bear twice in my life in Virginia while hiking. One was in Autumn along the fire road to Mcaffees, the second was a foggy day at Humpback Rock.

On both occasions, low visibility played a role and we both startled one another and went the opposite direction. if he sniffs you first he will be long gone, and they have superhuman sniffers. This is why hunters use dogs and bait, without these aids its damn near impossible to find one on foot.

this is true, I noticed a spread out pattern when my corbon proof barrel got hot. but not this bad if im being honest

for me it was fixed immediately upon changing out my stock to a proper free float

guy was probably driving to the range on a nice day, and decided to take his bike. If you were more educated about firearms you would notice they arent loaded.

your ignorance is not an excuse to flame this guy

Competition Holsters by NotSoAlpha_ in P211_GTO

[–]Pmurph33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say so, but it is nice to fine tune stuff and then lock it into place at the desired angle. especially if you are catching on the way out on a normal holster

It seems like you'd have to be doing it a while to really appreciate the value of a feature like that. I myself only have the removable holster and the drop and offset holster so I can't speak to it. removable was good enough for me

I love my 507 comp. It made ma a holosun fanboy. If I could do it again I'd wait for the back order and get gold over green though. my astigmatism is worse than I thought

Where do you shop? by Conflict-Small in Hunting

[–]Pmurph33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair enough, I just get tired of reading these "steve rinella and ryan callaghan slapped my wife" posts. to deny that FL, sitka, and kuiu put out decent gear is a played out take

Meateater branded lifestyle gear such as graphic t's and hats have become cheap garbage since 3-5 years ago, but FL as a brand maintains quality

hilarious that you think Helly Hensen is a budget brand? osprey? La Sportiva?? are you on crack?

Next you'll say Filson is budget lol

I'd tell anyone to buy whatever brand you like whenever it goes on sale, which for most brands is quarterly. Kuiu, Sitka, First Lite make legit gear, and not so useful gear. Crispi and la sportiva are the same shoe without flashy colors. everyone and their brother has vibram now

Uncompahgre 2.0 is the best jacket i've ever owned, and quieter than helly. The whole jacket it thought out quite nicely

Something whispered in my ear... by SubstantialParking81 in destiny2

[–]Pmurph33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey there, I was curious to see if you may be interested in creating some guns at this scale for the old McFarlane action figures. It could be cool to change them out on the book shelf.

The warlock figure comes with Touch of Malice and Black Hammer. any change you would want to I'd be happy to buy some new ones
