    While you were busy pretending to be working :p I went and zeroed the .223. After taking the scope and rings off and remounting it it was just a 1/4" out :D That was a nice surprise.

    The active ingredient in Autan is newer than and supposedly as effective as DEET. Having used DEET in the tropics and seen clouds of insects fly up to me and "bounce off" at about 2-3 inches away from me I'd be pretty confident with it. That said, it's evil stuff, keep it away from anything plastic and wash it off properly after you get home. I think Autan doesn't damage plastics like DEET does so if it works it might be a better choice.

    Good insect repellent is a god-send if you're likely to get bitten by the little feckers.
