RE: The ARD: Invention through necessity

I am working on a solar heat collector, that looks this honeycomb; constructed from pop csns.

These are nice, first I need a better scope (my best is a Leopold), then one of these!

I may make the first one of these, just to see if I can. The idea of single pointing an ID thread this fine, is intriguing. I have some stainless tube that is relatively small, but not hexagonal; for the actual light filter element. :-)

The scope on my 300 win Mag has calibrated external adjustments and astigmatism correction, but it is not a proper long range scope! It is 8 to 24 power, and 50mm, but just not the same quality as your toys.

But I do like this solution to the glint problem, and have placed it on my must have list.

Sort:  

This is the downside to long range shooting...All the available goodies that one can buy, or possibly make in your case. Still, to make those impacts down range stuff has to be right and so we spend the money and make it happen.

Your 300WM scope at 8-24 will work...The 50mm isn't ideal though. You'd probably be better off with 56mm but you could make it work I guess. Did you ever do that box test thing I blogged about a while back? I'd be interested to see how it tracks as you dial through the elevation and windage.

Add the ARD to the list...It's only money. Lol.

I have had limited range time with Debbie so sick, but I want to try that box test! I want to add the level to the assembly first. ..it's only time, LOL!

But I did get the pad leveled at the homestead yesterday!

I planned a trip to the range today, but maybe a week now. I want to test fire that barrel with the electronic initiator!
