    I remember reading this when he came out with it. It's fantastic.

    ALMOST as fantastic as the campaign The Oatmeal did to save Tesla's Wardenclyffe (sp?) out in New York.

    Just don't lead with trying to impress your girlfriend's father with your post count or mention anything about being a post whore. He won't be impressed.

    I have to work. And I don't know a thing about sighting in a 308. I probably wouldn't be much help anyhow.

    It's just like sighting in a 22. only more recoil and more expensive with each shot. He probably just needs a spotter to find his shots, right JM? Why not just setup at 25yds to really get on paper, then back it up to 50yds and then 100yds. Did that recently with a friends' 30-06. It was supposedly bore sighted to 100yds, but we couldn't get get him on paper at 50yds. Brought it in to 25 and bam, on target. Once we took him back out to 100yds he was getting submoa groupings.

    Funny you should say that......

    He's a stock broker. A very successful one.... Apparently, from a google search... His AVERAGE account.... AVERAGE.... Is $10,000,000. The dude is successful as all hell. Probably makes $100,000+ deals all the time...

    He's actually impressed with my eBay stuff... He admires the hard work and determination to make money with it... I think that's some brownie points right there...
