Hey everyone, figured it was worth bringing this back up since it’s been about a year since my original post.

I originally started having intermittent ejection failures with my Tikka T1X after switching from an MDT 50 MOA scope base to an Area 419 30 MOA base. The rifle had been essentially flawless before the switch. After installing the A419 base, I started getting failures to eject where the spent case would occasionally catch above the magazine instead of clearing the ejection port.

At the time, I noticed that the Area 419 base has a fairly substantial lip that extends over part of the ejection port, whereas the MDT base has considerably more clearance in that area.

A year later, I still haven't seen a resolution from Area 419.

What's made this more frustrating is that I've had quite a few other T1X owners reach out to me via DM or comment on other posts after experiencing the exact same issue. I've been able to help several of them troubleshoot their rifles, and in a number of cases the scope base/ejection-port clearance ended up being relevant to the problem.

I generally like Area 419's products, so this isn't intended as a hit piece against the company. But after a year, and after talking to multiple other T1X owners experiencing similar ejection problems, I'd really like to see this properly addressed.

TL,DR. Don't buy an Area419 rail for Tikka T1x's.

Looking around the $2500 range for some new PTZs, and these are what the heavy hitters offer.

Which would you recommend overall?

This is for a church. It would be connected via SDI. Powered and controlled via POE and joystick.

Good auto tracking would be huge, but reliability is the most important.

Bow will be used for hunting whitetail in the winters but 99.9% of its use will be backyard targets with some casual 3D mixed in.

I currently have a Bear Cruzer @ 70# but looking to see what nicer bows have to offer.

Skyrim. Idk how everyone isn't part of the inner circle.

Hey, I have something coming up where probably half of the people in the audience will be 3-15yos.

I typically use a LAeq15m <85db. I know kids ears are still developing and are more sensitive, so where would you run it?

I monitor LAeq15, LASmax, LASmin, LZpeak at FOH, which is like 100ft from the main speakers.

So I bought the bow in April, and have been learning archery on it so I can ethically hunt with it. Probably have 300 shots through it at 50-70lbs, and didn't have any suspensions about the string being damaged or near its end of life. But today it snapped and left me with some marks, but fine overall. I do plan to take it to an archery shop tomorrow, but wanted to consult y'all here as well for my own knowledge. I plan to restring it, if the limbs are fine, but I'm not sure how to tell for sure. I did have an arrow in it at full draw, then pulled the release before the snap. The arrow did hit the target, so I suspect most of the energy went into the arrow, not the limbs.

Thanks in advance..

For the second time in a few months Delta has left me in a hotel room due to a missed connection due to delays. The frustrating part is both of those flights departed early. United has held planes for me as the last flight of the day from Houston to home, multiple times.

I understand Delta has a higher on time percentage, but at what cost.
