Throwing in my vote for the RRS SC-ARC... works great, and like the flexibility to use pic also

Area 419 has a new one with a lever (I have the knob version). I'd suggest them as a 2nd behind the rrs

I have both the TSN-883 and the Vortex 85mm. The Kowa outshines the Vortex. It's an amazing spotter.
I would say that the Vortex "feels" like it might be more rugged. (for whatever that is worth).
I've opened mine up. There is a screw underneath the warranty/void sticker at the bottom center (if I recall correctly.)
It then seperates easily. Be careful, there are wires that connect things on the back assembly to the PCBA that is screwed to the front assembly.
The screws holding the PCBA...
In on the Northshore / Madisonville area.
I agree, if we want it, we are going to need to group together, find a range, and make it happen. Once matches are happening you will see people travel
The NFMI plugs aren't going to amplify/play sound unless the ear-pro supports NFMI.... So they will just be really expensive foamies unless you use them with the ops core.
I personally don't think the OPS-CORE NFMI plugs do as good a job as plain-foamies if you compared them just one-to-one...
I THINK the UHD is Japanese, but you might want to check... I know the HD's are China now. No experience with the glass.
I ended up with Swaro SLC 15's... but the Meopta 15's were really, really good... spent a lot of time comparing them. Honestly I should have just saved the $$, but I wanted...
I almost feel like launching a can is a right of passage.
I sent a 9mm can that I didn't mount properly on a 3-Lug down range. First shot.. BAM, can flew down range... and EVERYONE is looking at me. Had to wait for the range to go cold so I could do the walk of shame and get it. Luckily no...
Are we talking about a just "Off the shelf" rifle you have no experience with, just have to grab and go? In that case, probably BCM, Colt, or DD would be my "low-ends".
If we are talking about a rifle I had experience with, that's a whole different story
honestly I had the same idea... but what I personally found is that
1.) yes 300blk bolt gun with sub sonics is quiet, but not very accurate.
2.) supers are more accurate, but louder... at that point why not go with something else besides 300 blk if you aren't using subs.
I really like the Area 419 system for precision type rifles... makes it nice to be able to easily move cans between rifles and swap up with muzzle brakes... I've never had a problem with the system. If it's just one rifle, or you have multiple rifles all threaded the same, then I guess it...
