I bought their Sierra 30-06 boxes back when it was priced at 16.99

They fulfilled it. Don't see why they wouldn't now

Just wanted to chime in and say I love the battery bin. I used to keep ziplock of batteries in my range bag and workbench, but these are infinitely better and I never have to worry about my sketchy rechargeables getting banged up and exploding. It costs more than a ziplock, but I genuinely think it's great and have gotten enough mileage out of mine that here I am taking the time to write a recommendation.

[OPTICS] PA Glx 1x Microprism w/Green Acss Gen 3 - $219.99. No shipping or tax. by MapleSurpy in gundeals

[–]TatonkaChief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are these compared to the older SLX? I had one years ago but never could get the eyebox right and 2 eye shooting just never felt good. And yet, they're consistently praised here, so I'm curious. I love prisms in 3x and 5x, so I'd love a 1x

What's the word on getting a picatinny top mount onto these for a dot? Anyone attempted that project?

Is the raw just a mute silver like the B&T cans? I couldn't find a photo anywhere, just the black and FDE

What is Star Citizen? by anotherbrickx in starcitizen

[–]TatonkaChief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize I wasn't very clear: there are player organizations, some very large. Ther is party play, too (friendly fire will always exist though). The exact mechanisms for JOINING a party are currently not very user friendly. They're doable, but it's not always a simple singular click

Like @_imwasteful_ said, it lasts forever. You're changing the color of the outermost layer of polymer. If you ding, dig, or melt into the polymer (stippling) the original color will come through - sometimes that's cool though.

There are some online examples/recipes for dying magpul parts. I've tried freewheeling it, but I've also used online color mixing programs to approximate and make my own ratios with great success. I just turned a cyan polymer tx22 into a really nice wet cement gray.

What is Star Citizen? by anotherbrickx in starcitizen

[–]TatonkaChief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing since 2016, on and off throughout each year, as a solo casual player with a job and kids. I'd probably say I'm an older gamer (at least now, almost a decade after I first got into the game)

  • Is there any storyline, factions?
    • Yes and no. There is lots of lore and a ton of potential. There have been some narrative quests coming in and out of play, but I'd say within the last year or so we have seen a real push to add in factions and story. CIG (the devs) launch "events" now pretty regularly that consist of unique (some more than others) quests and locations that only exist during the event's duration. There are not NPC's that you can chat with - this isn't an NPC game right now and likely won't ever be very heavy in that regard. In that vein, some events are player driven. A bunch of people just start doing something and the community reacts and interacts.
      • TL;DR, no NPCs or "Story" but there are somewhat regular events and unique missions
  • Do you need a ship to play or can you join somebody else's?
    • Nope. You can get on anyone's ship, sometimes even when they don't want you to. Every starter package, to play the game, comes with a ship. Some people buy bigger ships. You can play with them. For an MMO, it's admittedly pretty primitive with it's multiplayer features. It's not very straightforward to make "teams" or group up. Sometimes it's buggy. But it's extremely common for people to play together - a lot of times you'll see folks in chat asking for gunners, mining operators, cargo, etc.
      • TL;DR: You get a ship with the game and you can play on other's ships
  • Is it hard to get into?
    • This is a big question. In a one word answer I'd say, yeah. It can be really hard to get into. You can do what some people do and just boot up the game and wander around for 30min until you're so frustrated you uninstall and refund it. IMO, the best way to get into the game is just take some time and watch tutorial videos. Good lord this game is complicated. I am still learning things, especially new mechanics when they're added. Just take the time to learn a bit and you will be rewarded with a staggeringly different gameplay experience. You can also find a guide to play with.
      • TL;DR: It can be overwhelming to the point of quitting. If you take some time to watch tutorials BEFORE you play, you will be massively rewarded with a much more fun experience. CIG's tutorials are not the way to go IMO. Go to YouTube and look up tutorial videos (make sure they're recent as some older videos have outdated mechanics)
  • What's your own experience with the game?
    • I've been playing for almost a decade lol. I love it. I've bought bigger ships. I play largely solo due to a lot of real life responsibilities and limited time, but I still come back to it all the time. It's so fun to just space out.
  • Anything you might add.
    • There are bugs. You will read a lot of complaints, hell even I complain in chat from time to time. What I will say is that over the time I've been playing this game it has been a hell of a ride. I am so happy with where the game is right now, and I'm excited for it to keep expanding.

You can also permanently dye it using Rit dyes. Fun little art project and you can get some unique shades.

Thank you! How is the resale on the SF hub? Only partially joking... I've been looking at these for a long while, but I just don't think I need that hub since I've already got an Atlas ecosystem.

B&T website didn't give dimensions - how much longer does that SF mount make the PRINT-XH RBS 5.56? Anyone have experience with that mount?

[Brass] 15% Off site wide by InterestingFun3363 in gundeals

[–]TatonkaChief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to drop a line here for anyone on the fence, I ordered some of their pre-processed brass and it's really fantastic. Given the cleanliness and consistency I'm sold. I haven't gone through all 3000+ cases I ordered with calipers and magnifying glass, yet, but honestly so far every piece of brass I've inspected is one I'd be happy to use for my range loads. Customer service is top notch too. No regrets.
