BTW - did they change the "quote" feature? Now when I hit quote it goes to 'quick reply' and there is no formatting options like bold or smileys. It hasnt always been that way has it?
It works as normal for me.
It's likely in your preferred settings.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

OK I think I figured it out - I closed the Quick Reply box at the bottom using the little minus sign on the left. When its closed it does the way I wanted - when its open it does it thru quick reply. That is all from me on this - your normal thread programming will now resume!  :chuckle:   :jacked:

 :yike: Yeeeeoooza, how the heck do ya get a cheek weld on that thing? You must be resting your chin on the comb, otherwise that scope is way too high. And why the 20 MOA base? Are you shooting 1000 yards with that thing?

Just curious  :dunno: Not trying to slam ya, it just looks really high. You usually want the scope centerline about 1.5 to 2 inches above bore centerline for maximum benefits and a 20 MOA base is needed for some scopes that don't offer enough vertical movement for long distance shooting but your rifle is really not setup for real long range stuff.

Here is a really good video on how to set one up the correct way.  >>>>>>>

Muelzhog here and new to the forum.  Love the information.  My predator weapon is the Stag Arms Super Varmiter.  *censored* gun with stainless bull barrel and a Redfield 4X12X40 hung on it.  Harris bi-pod and 30 rd magazine makes it hard for anything to escape.  Most accurate AR gun I have ever shot.

I like that gun. I checked one out at sportsman wharehouse they are really heavy but its not a deer rifle your going to pack for miles.

I like it, you should get one. Then if you dont like it, just buy another gun. At least you'll have another rifle and that cant be bad! :chuckle:

Waiting on my tax return.

I am right there in the same boat with you. Waiting for my tax return and then I'm buying a new Browning Cyngery Sporting O/U for clay shooting. I cant get that gun outta of my head and time is dragging! :bash:
