    So this is what dying feels like. Interesting.

    8:45 and I'm going on about an hour-ish of sleep.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Sorry to hear that Belly, lack of sleep for me is almost worse than being sick.

    Dude, I'm kinda used to it by now. If I'm able to stay awake throughout today, I'll sleep very well tonight.

    Bogie asked me earlier about which mount I'd choose, a LaRue or a bobro. I only have personal experience with the LaRue mounts. They have been pretty solid for me. I don't move them from rifle to rifle that much, and when I do, I always confirm the zero.

    i have heard good things about bobro's blac concept, though. I do like that one lever will re-cam the whole side of the rail. I have gotten some inconsistent result with using a two-cam system (ADM mounts, specifically). I always adjust the LaRue mounts the way mark LaRue taught me. Doing so has made the mounts solid for me.

    In any mount, there are parts that will move, even if you don't want them to. The real test is to see if they return exactly where they were before the shot. If they are the same, then BFD about the flex.

    i AM curious why you think I'd immediately choose the LaRue, though.

    I built a rifle for my FIL. he told me (flat out), "Thanks, but no thanks."

    kinda feel like I got kicked in the scrote.

    try to do something nice for the guy who 'gave' me his daughter. Oh well, at least now I have a modern bolt gun.

    So..... Now I kinda want build it up into something awesome, maybe over the course of a couple years. As parts that I like now become cheaper and cheaper, it will end up being really nice, I think.
