I don't have anything on it now.  I can't decide what I want to use it for really.   The 2.5-10 is probably the most useful but not good for close range.  I've been considering a T1 and magnifier also.  Then there's the .308 specific ACOGS.  That's why it has open sights.  I can't make a decision.

The struggle is real. I like the T1 for battery life, but like the EoTech's reticle more.

they changed their tune once the instruction hand came out

I still use it.

all the pigtails of strap flappin' in the breeze

You don't secure the ends? For shame!

I want one.

Well if you haven't shot one by the time winter rolls around we can arrange to shoot mine.   It's  looking like when I get laid off this winter I'm going to bring my truck up da UP to do the swap eh. See what I did there lol.   My dad has a big garage I can use for the swap and I need to spend some time with him.

If you're around GB I'll bring it up and we can go beat on it for awhile if you've got a place to shoot.

Vortex. I'm actually thinking that might be what I use on my SCAR  the 2.5x10 variety.

Sounds good, winter shoots are always fun. the 2.5-10 is a good choice. What do you run on the SCAR now?

I'm a glass snob but I can say this.  What ever it is that you buy, make sure it is first focal plane and the turrets match the reticle, e.g. Mil/mil, or moa/moa.

Oh, and Bobby, get an 03 or newer LB7 if you can.  The can bus communication protocol changed in 03.  Anything ever goes seriously wrong you can swap in later model engines without much trouble.  Not easy at all on the 01&02

I agree with FFP , matching turrets.

As for the truck, it really depends on what I see when I go look at them. I'd like the 03 as it's a 1 owner, 3" stack of maintenance records, however we shall see.

Next is the stock and scope, vortex?

Since it's a precision build I'd go with:

Stock
A2 style - It's simple, you can find them cheap, they work. Can't adjust the LOP or cheek rest, unless you add an aftermarket rest.
MagPul PRS - Not so cheap, but you can adjust the LOP and the cheek rest.

Scope
Vortex - Good quality optics, good price, lifetime no questions asked warranty.

Those are my thoughts.

And Bobby (And Red Neck) why am I suddenly so "Quotable?"

And off topic (DOTin!) Bobbee, did you buy that 7.3 you were showing us?

1. You're a writer, you on occasion have quotable quotes of genius.

2. Nope it sold. Looking at an 01 LB7 CCSB w/ 262,xxx, 03 LB7 CCSB w/209,xxx, 97 ECLB 12V w/150,xxx.

If you want an AR go DI. If you want a piston go SCAR or an AK.

I want to fire a SCAR.

Either or will work. But the DI is simpler, lighter.

that explains the disturbance that was felt......did you have mis matched uniform as well

It's possible. I even walked on the grass..

Grunts can't think like that!  ;)

You guys just eat once in awhile, sleep even less, complain and steal things while awake, then go out and break things, make noise, and hurt people the remaining time...

Sig worthy

I listen to pretty much anything. With a few exceptions.

Too short, not enough swearing. But close, oh so close.

Looks like the dog approves of your work.

So my mirror has a light at the on off switch, auto dims when it's supposed to, but doesn't display temp/direction anymore. any thoughts?

Fuse, or loose wire? Those are my guesses.

Happy birthday

free always makes things taste better

Yes it does, those red beans and rice tasted even better as free. I'm definitely going back for the pork chop sandwich and the bbq pork sandwich. 1 of those 2 will be had, along with a slice of pecan or sweet potato pie.

Seems high price wise for 200,000 and the visible wear to the driver's seat.  Photo of engine bay would give you a better idea of how it was kept before going up for sale- everyone cleans the outside and interior.  More details on the "tuner" might give you better insight- a tuner on a truck owned by Don or RN is one thing, a tuner on a truck owned by my 23yr old son would be a "NO THANKS" for me.

I do know the PowerStrokes were plagued with major issues, some years much worse than others- of course within those years, many didn't have one problem, so hard to say!  If you're serious, I'd knock them down on price to say $10,250 - price out a replacement on the driver's seat alone; should be enough justification, especially if heated.

I was thinking about $10,xxx ish. The seats are heated. I looked at the interior and the seats could be sewn, even by me and my limited sewing skills, until I can get them recovered. The motor looked ok, naturally it was cleaned by the dealership. I didn't get an in depth check up since it was late afternoon on Sunday. I'll hear more from my buddy later on today probably. As for the tuner, I"m going to call the dealership and ask them for more info, just haven't gotten a chance yet.

Have someone going to check it out for me today probably. Need more opinions. Last year of the 7.3

1200' is standard... We did an 800' morale jump with the FFL  once....

800-900' night time, 0200 TOT...

And all the fun jumps and wing jumps and etc happened after I left. I went to jump for my Chilean wings, and sat rigged up on Rhine Luzon for hours sitting in the sun... Chalk2, was going to be my last jump in Division... scratched due to high winds on the DZ.

Bro, that's not high, I'm guessing 1500AGL. Bobby, look like 1500 to you?
And yea, Sicily was mostly sand. What was the next big one down the road? Nijmegen? or??

1500AGL seems about right. Sicily was lots of sand, but had a few more hills, and a larger centerline road. Nijmegen was next. I'll lean towards Nijmegen.

Sicily? Nijmegen? All-American?

Doesn't look like Sicily/Gela but then again it's been a few years.

We already have a Firearms forum, why not just add "reviews" to the header and make them stickies as posted?

I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

It was 97$

Where'd you get it from?

Gold bond blue (or green?) is awesome... Love that stuff

Always liked the Blue bottle more.

Summary: Baby wipes are a good thing

Any grunt could've told you that! Along with Gold Bond blue bottle, and dry socks. The effect those 3 have on one's body changes your outlook on the crappy situation you find yourself in.

mess kit repairman

You don't know the horrors those brave men and women faced on a daily basis. They stood upon the cusp of anarchy and stared down the horrors that lurk just beyond the shadows. With steely determination and an unwavering moral code of conduct, they trudged forth into battle with just their tin snips, soldering irons and rivet guns, vowing to never fail a mess kit in need of repair. They are truly the real unsung heroes of this generation of Warfighters...



or something like that.
