Suppressor questions with PTR Vent 1

T
Plan B is another taper mount system that is pretty popular. Although I use the YHM SRX taper mount system, if I had it to do over again, I'd likely start with a Rearden Atlas/Atlas XL mounting interface for the suppressor and Plan B muzzle devices from a manufacturer of your choosing.

It is likely that you will need a muzzle device threaded 1/2x28 for the 5.56 and one threaded 5/8x24 for the .30 cal. Once you have the adapter for the suppressor, it will thread onto both muzzle devices.

With a shorter brake (like a single port or other compact design), you'll likely be fine with the Atlas adapter. For longer brakes, you may need to go with the Atlas XL for the clearance you need.

Vortex 1-10

I to have been far down the Lpvo rabbit hole - 9 diffrent models. None quite “do it all “ as marketing tells us they will.

The old Nikon 1.5-4.5 is still the best all round mix of glass weight and magnification range for me - what makes it a deal breaker now that I know some stuff is the bone locking torrents that turn a little easier every year - even my trick of throwing a small piece of foam inside the torrent before I remount it when returning to zero dosent work well any more - it now resides on a barn 10/22 and works well just hanging on the wall u til something needs shot .

And flame me all ya want this new Sig spr 1-4 is really growing on me - decent glass illumination near day light bright , simple reticle and very light weight - my primary or secondary reason to have an Lpvo on a duty rifle or hunting rifle . The strike Eagle/ venom ect are tanks .
This little Sig is 1-4 but with included mount weights 20 something ounces. 90+ % of the time 4x will let me identify and hit out to 5/600. Which in reality is a decent amount for a lightweight duty or hunting rifle with shorter barrel .

The line of what an Lpvo is for and can do well has been blurred badly in my humble opinion

And I agree with many that PA’s current line of slx and Glx lpvos are about the best thing currently offered until ya reach night force price point The still are not a precision piece nor red dot fast and weight as much as some optics with way more features suck as parallax adjustments and double magnification.

1-4 /4.5 1-6 is where o feel weight/ usefulness of an Lpvo shines , if I paid for and wanted to go to a decent 1-10 there are 2 or 3 - 12 - 15 ect that serve the role better . Again in my humble opinion.

Edit to add - with a 2 or 3 or 3.5 to anything above 10 it seems that almost any decent optics is better at 2 or 3 then any Lpvo at 1 and always better at 12 or 15 or 20 then any Lpvo at 8 or 10x

An Lpvo on a franken gasser 308 is what brought me to this place years ago . The rule need some trouble shooting beyond my experience and the 1-8 Lpvo did t do what I was told it would and I thought maybe the problem was me .

Now any serious use rifle of mine that wears an Lpvo is ALWAYS set to max and wears a 12oclock mounted red dot - that if a useful set up

I have 2 "classes" of ARs that I run most often. 2 11.5s and a 16". On the 11.5s I run a TA11 ACOG. Its about as capable AND convenient as you can get. The other is running the 1-8 NX8. Its small and light and allows me to squeeze the most performance out of the setup. The 11.5s are the rigs that typically get carried more than shot when taken out. Except when I practice with them.

16" typically gets taken out when I know I'm going to be shooting, for whatever purpose. This one has a 2.5-10 Leupold Mark 4. When it comes to actually shooting, I much prefer the 16" setup.

Garmin Foretrex 901 and the system

021411
I only had my Fury AB connected and still randomly rebooted. I followed Garmin’s troubleshooting guide and still had the reboots. Instead of returning the 901 to the store and just getting a new one I’m sending it to Garmin for a warranty swap. I know it’s fine but they are sending me a recertified unit. Mine is literally an hour old. I wish it was new for new.

Zermatt Arms Matterhorn Review

That's what they appear to be. I would think they are removable. It would be silly to glue them on.

Here's my thoughts:
Why bother with the chassis if you don't like the look of it or the Woox?
There are plenty of other chassis that should fit your needs without needing to modify it.


For me, I would love to have one with some AAA Claro slapped on there.
I just can't afford it.

This. I'm primarily into function over artsy but the wood gives it a nice retro look. They could get into more exotics as well. Brazillian rosewood would run the $$$ right up into the statosphere. Even some nicely figured maple.
