The CZickness XXXVIII....To Honor a friend

[MindfulMan]

Close but not quite twins...we have different fingers messed up...lol.

It's not the prettiest rifle but I kind of got it in mind that I wanted a Tikka or Bergara with a wood stock and I wasn't finding them in stock. Had sort of convinced myself to pass on a new .308 altogether when I got the fateful email and got carried away on more rifle than I had considered.

My finger is starting to heal enough that I played guitar at the 75% level today (still some chords that are too painful). I hope that your injury is coming-along, but of course you're still fresh from the incident. It's probably gonna take a while.

I, also, have an affliction for wood stocks. I'd spotted a .308 CZ model that made my heart flutter .... but of course the appearance has no effect on the accuracy.
Still ... I might hold-out for something wooden !

It was a good day to do nothing.

I’ll second that. There’s a fire in the fireplace and scotch in the glass, so I’m good for the evening too

Soak it in cider, it’s the only way.

Summing up my day.......I have succeeded in doing NADA.

That's an unusual statement from you, Big Chief !

I am trying to figure out if a Vortex VMX-3T will work with any of my Eotechs. Looking for optic center line heights and just coming up empty.

Edit.....wait.....you read with your face.....

It will. I had one behind mine. Very handy dandy. Reversible, and spacer will allow user to setup for absolute or lower1/3 cowitness. The flip feature is very solid. It is a plunger release as opposed to just a detent lock. Much sturdier IMO. You definitely want one.

Bingo.

Bingo.

Pro tip: MBUS Pro sits perfectly on top of charging handle for max real estate as seen. Allows for mo betta eye relief tolerance. That's also why I was a stickler for side buttons. You'll dig it.

$199 at Midway.
Crap I should have checked with AA 1st......

Will you be lining it yourself or hiring that out? Assuming doing it yourself given how much work you already have into it. What kind of liner material do you use?

I'm probably going to have it linex'ed. I wouldn't mind doing it myself but I think a professional job would hold up better. We use the heck out of that little truck.

I've read about the herculiner on the hootus, wow.

I got very lucky and scored mine used off INGO for a flatbill.

I could tell by the dents in the wheel tubs that you guys work that little rig.

They've pretty much always been $199 everytime I've seen them.

It is. But with the year CKW and I have had, the stresses involved and the work load of late my old butt is dead in the water. I can honestly say I can not remember being this tired for a long long time.

They were as much as $240 on other sites. Or there abouts.

I understand.

I've ordered a few things from https://www.kenziesoptics.com/ recently. Often a fair price with free shipping, no tax and I can usually find a 10% discount code. That particular magnifier is on backorder now but I have the micro coming from them for $269.99.

I very much feel the need to choot some .45 this week. I do owe Reed a crack at the new (to me) 97...
