I did just order one of the reflex sights for my Bandito. The one I have is a CV life made for pic rails and the elevation adjustment isn't very precise. It's hard to resist ordering an AR kit for my Bandit, or even just the AR grip and using it like a pistol.

I'm still waiting on an order that was supposed to be here on May 23rd. I've asked for a refund and they asked me to wait a few more days it was "in shipment". Next week will be a month over due and they will soon mark it "as received" in the complaints dept. Probably time to contact my credit card company, same as I had to do when I ordered a 3d printer a couple of years ago. Maybe your packages were the ones that got looted off of the trains.

A few months back we were loosing chickens and ducks here on the farm. A couple days of trail camera recon and I figured out where the breech in the fence was and fixed it. I quickly realized that trapping/shooting all of the critters that would want to eat my animals or in your case your garden was a loosing battle and one that I didn't have time for. I designed and built an Arduino based intruder alarm. It uses a passive infrared motion sensor to activate a 120 decibel alarm. The passive infrared is nice because it detects movement and then verifies a heat signature before sounding the alarm. I put it in a waterproof boat box to keep it out of the weather and mounted it to one of my fence posts that faces the wood line. It runs on one 9V battery. I built the whole thing for about $30.

Should be easy enough to sneak out of a door and get him then!

I also live out in the country with no close neighbors. The wild animals here are afraid of everything and justifiably so as there is a lot of hunting pressure lol.
