Got a new optic for my SR-25 EMC on Friday, it is a HDMR 3.5-21x scope with Horus TREMOR2 reticle. I zeroed it and shot all day Friday, half day Saturday, half day Easter Sunday, and practically all day today (gotta love 4 day weekends). Total round count is 350 rounds of FGMM 175gr, from 100m to 955m as measured by my LRF.





As with all Horus reticles, the Tremor is meant to be used for elevation and windage holdoffs without dialing the turrets at all, which greatly increases speed. The new feature in this particular reticle are the vertical columns of time-of-flight/wind dots. The way it works is you go to Horusvision.com, put in your rifle and load data into their wind dot calculator, and it tells you what wind speed each row represents. For my EMC it works out to be 4mph for the first vertical row, 8mph for the second and so on in increments of 4mph. So the procedure for determining wind hold off is: estimate wind -> line up the corresponding row of dots at given elevation for that range -> fire. It is a simple system and works extremely well.

Here is the reticle at 21x. All those odd gaps, dashes and lines are meant for quick range estimation.



Once I got my dope 1st round hits became the norm out to 800m, though past that the 7.62 round starts to struggle quite a bit in the ridiculous wind we have in this state. At one point today I was holding 4+ mils of windage at 955m, which is more than I've ever had to hold off anywhere.

Reticle at around 7x. The wind dots go down to 10 mils of elevation, which will get a 7.62mm round out to ~850m from a 100m zero. Past that the reticle changes into a typical Horus milliradian grid.



I have not touched the windage and elevation turrets since zeroing the rifle on Friday. They actually lock down in place so you can pretty much set them and forget them, which is the way this system was meant to be used.

Nice S&W 29 Ayrudzi. Love the looks on that gun!

I swear by it sometimes.

Now I need to add this AK to my collection:

Looks like a milled receiver, that is good.

Cool Marlin 336A allen.

[highdiver_2000]

Some of mine:



A single-shot Stevens 20-gauge. Rarely ever used.

Nice collection. I suggest using a light colored matt surface to aid in your gun photography. It increases contrast and reduces the reflection.

Not that I'm aware of, and I have put it through it's paces, and with can attached.

Having to tighten the barrel screw last weekend was the first time I have had an issue with it, and maybe it's a sign it is on it's way out. I run Federal bulk pack through it, and it has always cycled fine, but from what many have said over the years, I think it is the luck of the draw.

If the pot metal does crack, I will go to SIG and ask(in a heavy handed way) that they take care of it. After all, you do not expect a firearm that comes from a quality firearm manufacterer to break, especially in a few years. It is something you expect to pass down to your kids and on and on and on.

Not aware of any injuries........

Soooo, got ahold of Sig. Cuz I live in Canada, they refered me to 2 different Canadian reps for Sig Sauer, one in Quebec, one in British Columbia. I called the Quebec office first cuz they are closest to me. The guy I talked to (in an extremely heavy quebecois accent, nice guy though) told me it probably would'nt be a problem but their gunsmith would have to look at it, I would have to get the dealer who sold it to me to send it to them. He also told me they had ALL KINDSA problems with the first few batches of Sig Mosquitos. After that they improved signifigantly. Most of those problems seemed to be with the sh*tty metal used for the slide. Also the model I have is called the "sport" model with a counterweight/extension thingy that clamps onto the barrel end. Not enough space between the extension and the end of the slide. The slide slams into it. I have not seen this extension on any American models and they do not appear to be selling this version any more.
Anyhow, Off to the gun shop I went yesterday to drop it off. Talked to my guy there and he called up the rep and tells him the problem, guy says ya mosquitos are a problem, send it in. So at least the ball is rolling now and I hope to see my lil' Sig .... uh whenever? Hope it doesn't take forever.

Just a quick size compersion between by Shorties. Stocks stored:


And extended:


And as a bonus, the 3 primary colors of Tacticool: Black, OD and FDE

I wonder why did they design the SiG so that you can't fire it with the stock folded (atleast not when the cheekrest is attached)?

[Paulinski]

You can fire with the stock folded - you just have to remove the cheek piece...

AFAIK - the cheek piece does not come standard its added as an accessory...

[Kilo1-1]

I'll be honest with you. Using my balls as a shield is not high on my list of things to do.

Just kidding.

Balls of steel. lol.

Nice Tourniquet

[TacoDelRio]

Stipple level 90000!!!!!!

[California Joe]

For some unexplainable reason, two of my dream guns are the .41 Mag (Model 57) and the .45ACP (Model 25). I have no justification for them but a big, blued N-frame is as cool as a 1911, maybe more because they're rarer.

When I was in cop school I got to fire a Colt Python and a Diamondback. Smoothest actions on a wheelgun I've ever seen...

[gaijinsamurai]

A buddy of mine recently scored a satin stainless Colt Python. It's a beauty.
