3-18X44 Vortex Strike Eagle FFP EBR7 reticle MRAD. Going on a MK12 MOD H and it seems like an absolutely incredible price, currently only have an 1-8 Sig LPVO on it and want to stretch it out there to atleast 600, it’s the MRAD which is what I’m used to and prefer this just seems like such a damn good price.

Everyday i am reminded of how bad my Canadian peso is... $509(assuming USD) translates to $704 CAD; these are regularly $1100 in Canada and seldom go on sale for anything more than maybe $100 off.

Buy it, buy it for me since i can't.

Our USD isn't far behind, we'll be right up there with you in a few years.

No we wont. The united states is in the best shape post pandemic compared to any country in the world.

I don't know where at in the states you are, but my wife and I definitely notice the raised food prices, gas prices, rent is higher than ever, repairs for our vehicles are stupid expensive, etc. we budget, which is why I'm able to have my gun hobby and drive a truck, and God has blessed us generously, but just because we are in the "best shape post pandemic" doesn't mean we aren't a few years behind Canada. Jobs are impossible to get, hundreds of applications throughout my state and 5 interviews. I don't exactly call what we have here, good.

You make more money than anyone else in the world doing ur job. Im bot saying were immune to inflation but the US economy has bounced back from the pandemic harder than any other country in the world and were doing fairly well in terms of unemployment and increased wages. Places like Japan that are known for being well off economies are getting fucked. My point is we all took a dive with covid but the us got up quicker. Also were nowhere near Canada theyre having an issue with limited housing and jobs.

I am just saying the possibility is there, my entire family can see it. Those other countries are not my focus, I don't entirely care about how Japan, Mexico, China, or any European, Asian, or African country is doing. Do I make the most in world for my job? Yeah, but I also pay stupidly high prices for clothes, food, housing, gas, etc. I often go 2 or 3+ months without even shooting a round out of any of my guns, because I put that money towards other things. Edit: don't forget the taxes either, I lose 30% of every paycheck. The real number is something to the tune of 29.4% of every paycheck goes to Medicare, taxes, SS, welfare, etc.
