New Nikon BDC scope for the muzzle loader:
Nikon INLINE XR 3-9x40 Muzzleloader Rifle Scope
http://www.basspro.com/Nikon-INLINE...r-Rifle-Scope-Matte-Black/product/1303251517/

I shot 3 times yesterday at 2 deer and missed them by a mile. Got up this morning and at 25 yards was dead on, backed up to 70 yards and was all over the target, figured I was due for new scope. I have the Nikon Slughunter 4 dot on my slug gun and that thing is deadly out to 200 yards. I use an H and R single shot 12 gauge, we don't get to use rifles around here so slug gun and muzzle loader are the closest I can get.
 
Done with the 970 already @HPIguy, didnt take long haha.
 
Zotac GTX 1070 Amp graphics card, and lunch at Chick Fil A on the way to visit my niece and nephew.
Geez! I've been bidding on various 960's for a week and keep losing. Just trying to make it so the few online games I fiddle with don't hang up on me on occasion. Can't imagine what you'd need that kind of card to play!

Just a new 19T CB for my savage for me today. Hoping to tame the wheelies a bit with my LRP30.

Lol...you might miss those wheelies someday!....

I change mine a few weeks back trying to get some wheely back in!...yet to get a vid....soon!...:D

To be honest Lloyd, the 970 was more than I hoped it would be when I bought my PC. I figured it would be plenty for normal gaming (and it is for 1080p gaming anyway), and let me test the VR waters. It actually runs quite a few VR games with graphical settings on high. But, probably 85-90% of my gaming is iRacing, and it's older code that is very demanding in VR, so I have to turn a lot of things down. I simply want to be able to crank things up for more detail in those few games that I can't right now. I'd have waited for the new 1080Ti if it were in my budget. :D

Keep an eye on the classifieds, there might be a lightly used 970 in there very soon.
 
Ordered a 16Gb stick of DDR4-2400 RAM.

And I took my niece and nephew to see Trolls, so three tickets, one large popcorn, and three sodas. After that, we went to Jim and Nick's for dinner.
 
Ordered two of these for the ERBE I still haven't seen...

7.4v 9000mah for $54

Figured it might be best to start with 4S vs 6S to avoid grenading the diffs in the first 5 minutes of my exposure to brushless torque.
 
It must be just brutally insane with a 6s in it! I hope you can get a vid of it running like that! I believe it was a savage that a guy was running a 6s in... Literally blew the tires off of it! It was a BRUTAL beating the poor truck took and I do believe he blew a diff to kill the beat run!
 
That would be a fun video to watch. I almost blew the tires of its smaller brother, the mERV on 3s. I run beadlocks to prevent that now.
 
Lol! This guy just beat HELL out of this poor truck! But yeah, he actually blew it apart like a retreaded tire... (like what you see when a semi looses its tire) It looked like it undid itself. I'll tell you tho, that thing was frighteningly fast!!!
 
The ERBE handles 6s much better than the Savage due to the design and lower profile tires. It's still a TON of power mind you, and I almost always ran mine on 4s simply due to not having the room for 6s, or feeling the need for it honestly. Mine would probably do an honest 35mph on 4s and wheelie on command up to about 25mph, that's enough for me with a 15lbs truck. If I still had the room to run it, I'd still own it today.

Oh yeah, ordered an EVGA bronze 700w power supply for the PC.
 
Some new scrubs for work, adjustable upper arms for the Savage, as well as some bearings and drive cups. All on overstock clearance. Well except the scrubs.
