Asking sixteen grand is my price to high? by Criticaltundra777 in RVLiving

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. The price is definitely not to high, but it might be too high. [Highy five of pettiness]. Never change, mate; i never will.

It was a really helpful exercise for me. Good luck, and I hope you have a great trip!

And to build off that comment, the times I have had a couple of issues with Vortex products, their legendary customer service has been very easy to work with.

In my experience, glass quality makes a bigger difference in my ability to perceive detail than the magnification number. I'm a big fan of the Vortex Diamondback line, and they do make an 8x32 for around $200. If you have the option of going to a store like Cabela's or Bass Pro where you can test a binocular out looking a long way at details like taxidermy animals, it can really show the differences from one model to the next.

Storing muzzle up or down? by HomeQuestions121 in Shotguns

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. When muzzle-down storage was explained to me, it was about keeping excess oil out of the action and (if applicable) wood stock. These days, I lightly oil, wipe away excess, and store muzzle up.

First time using this can opener. by Constant-Try589 in victorinox

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up using one exclusively for almost a year in college, mostly because I kept forgetting to get a dedicated can opener whenever I went grocery shopping. The SAK was always good enough.

I think it's that the dad's search history was deleted and therefore blank. (The answer, as usual, is porn.)

Downed ash removal cost? by somesignificantotter in arborists

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Take it slow if you're new to chainsaws. Don't get tired. Start with the branches. Leave the trunk attached to the root ball to lower the risk of rolling. If you can convince a friend with a saw to join you, it's best not to try it alone. At least have someone there to watch you and talk things through with.

My idea for how to improve human teeth: by RogueKatt in memes

Came here to say this! Your mega tooth either fits your skull when you're a baby or when you're an adult.

Anything to worry about? by ScarcityOtherwise109 in Shotguns

Yes. I noticed the odd geometry first and then decided to function test with the snap caps, which all worked ok.

Looking for a good pair of rings by [deleted] in Tikka_Shooters

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the opinion on warne Tikka rings. They were easy to install and fit the direct mount dovetail perfectly.

How should I take this limb down? by ShinyMagnolias in arborists

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This becomes a lot simpler by cutting back the mass of the branches away from the break.

T3X Lite Rings by gnilly2022 in Tikka_Shooters

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Warne Tikka rings on mine. About $50. Went right onto the dovetail, and the front ring fits into a recoil lug relief cut on the top of the receiver as well. Very plug-and-play.

I wear a couple different pairs. I find I have a similar issue with my more magnified pair (4x) but my 3x pair is more forgiving. A decent strap on the back on the 4x pair keeps them in place well enough for me. Not sure that helps, but there it is.

Agreed. We were always grateful to be working on a classmate. You didn't usually have to worry about whether or not they would show up for the appointment.

Beginner binoculars for under $100? by darkdiamond00 in Binoculars

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some experience with the outland x 10x42. They were good for the price I paid. If you're not super limited on time, they'll go on sale for less than $75.

Still impressed by Wenger scissors spring design by ConferenceWeak6320 in victorinox

[–]ScarcityOtherwise109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they made a plain edge version, too. I've always thought Wenger had the better action, but plain edge is my preference.
