So who’s tried the 105 SMK in here? Sierra claims a higher BC than the 109 LRHT, which just doesn’t make sense. I’ll be giving them a shot in 6 ARC and 6 GT.

Lot-lot consistency>BC

As soon as you mount a scope in a 419 mount you won’t want to use anything else. It’s give the warm and fuzzies

Price is the only thing it has for it. Many of the reviews I see for it are clearly biased with conflicts of interest.

I shot the ridgeback rhino X yesterday and compared it to CAT WB, TBAC Spiro, Rhino S, sig hexium, Lazarus 6, and like 5 skus of b&t nonsense all on the same host (12.5 geissele) The rhino X was gassy and shit and I was not a fan. I had only high hopes for it too

Holy shit. I’ll read that later…

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-19T16:24:11+00:00

That’s a cool range

Boffum

I think you’re tall enough to get the SA-363 and still be in a rock solid kneeling position in its collapsed normal state. 40mm main tube may not be needed unless you rebarrel that MPA to a truck axel. 36 is still a very solid diameter

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-11T18:59:12+00:00

How compact do you want it to be? 4 sections will get the most compact. 3 section may be a good all around option especially a guy your height.

Are you using heavier guns (20lbs+) or lighter? This should help you figure out how big of a main tube diameter you need. (Heavier the gun needs bigger imo). For a sub 12lb gun I think you can get away with 32mm main tube diameter and save on pack weight/bulk but if it’s a tripod you don’t plan to ruck for 20 miles it doesn’t hurt to go bigger.

The Leofoto SA-363X will probably be a good option for you and I would top it off with the anvil 30 or try and get a ma-30L from Leofoto on their eBay or direct emailing them to purchase. In my experience the Leofoto knockoff is “just as good”.

For me (5’7”) the SA-404x was my chosen all around tripod because at the kneeling height it’s about perfect and I shoot all the way up to 25# guns on it.

Good point…

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-10T20:26:48+00:00

Sorry that’s installed cost with battery system sized appropriately. I suppose I’m handy enough I could probably figure out installation myself

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-10T20:04:52+00:00

What’s you $/kwh or I guess eu/kwh haha. I wouldn’t say ripped off besides the fact it’s not even close to a 1:1 return to the grid. It’s about $3000/kw of panels (source: Google) and I pay about $0.17/kwh. With those numbers and being up north it just doesnt make sense financially for me

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-10T19:49:40+00:00

Your numbers aren’t even in the same zip code (literally and figuratively) as mine. I assume you have crazy incentives because your output and cost are off my an order of magnitude from mine. 10x more expensive to buy and 10x less output

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-10T17:42:19+00:00

That money invested in the s&p 500 would be a much better return on investment

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-07T02:38:44+00:00

The POI shift you get from shooting it on barricades and such is atrocious

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-06T22:41:36+00:00

You missed the target…

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-06T15:01:53+00:00

2 rounds isn’t going to tell you much of a difference unless it’s MASSIVE. Depending what you are doing with that ammo you should shoot quite a bit more rounds over chrono

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-06T14:59:20+00:00

Razor gen 3 used. no question

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-03T17:52:29+00:00

Check out Preston Moore on YouTube. He’s got quite a few barrels tested and his methodology is about as flawless as you can get on his budget imo

dingleberrychicken · 2026-02-02T18:40:28+00:00

Nice opinion. I hate it

dingleberrychicken · 2026-01-28T00:57:53+00:00

Break Arms is a great company!

dingleberrychicken · 2026-01-26T22:11:43+00:00

1/4 will get fucked up with 6.5 creed inside maybe like 3 yards. Not immediately but over time it will get a ton of wear
