    Law Enforcement "Patrol Designated Marksman Program"

    Well that’s your opinion, but the main reason that those private sections were started was because most LE got tired of the cop bashing that goes on or used to go on in most forums, which is fucking sad because we are all on the same side. If the Mil guys want a separate section for themselves...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a mount that will top mount RMR with Nightforce NX8 2.5-20

    Is there a specific reason you want it mounted on top? I know some guys use the red dot on top because it helps them line up the target with the scope for long range shots or for night vision, but I prefer the 45 degree mounts and there are a ton of good ones out there. I’ve had both and it is...

    BigJimFish 2023 Shot Show Blog

    Thanks for all the info. I’m especially interested in the Primary Arms AutoLive battery cap for my NX8. As far as the walking, Hoka shoes are the most comfortable shoes around. I have over 6 pairs for running, hiking, and work. I run about 20 miles per week and these shoes saved my lower...

    White oak 18” 3 gun barrel vs criterion core 18

    I spoke with them several times and they told me that their barrels were set up to run both suppressed and unsuppressed as smooth as they can. When I told them about my issues, they told me to try a heavier buffer which was completely wrong. That’s when I discovered the Springco Yellow Spring...

    White oak 18” 3 gun barrel vs criterion core 18

    While this is true, why can’t companies get it right then? Criterion 18” barrels are under gassed. Both of mine and my friends are exactly the same. I’ve also read many people complain about the Aero Precision 18” barrels having the same issues. This also applies to 12.5” barrels with the...

    White oak 18” 3 gun barrel vs criterion core 18

    I’ve had the Criterion 18” Core and 18” Hybrid Nitrided. The Core has the best balance of any barrel that I’ve shot because all the weight is up by the chamber and tapers down to a .625” profile at the gas block. I was able to get them both to shoot 1 MOA with hand loads. The negative about...

    Aero M5E1 enhanced build kit or Seekins SP10 build kit?

    I’d check out the ADM builder kit. Comes in 15 or 17” Handguards.

    Anybody have the new Primary Arms 5-25x56 Athena BPR?

    I’ve had several of their scopes with the Athena reticle. Just not a fan of it. The center chevron is stupid and I don’t like the dots around the center of the reticle, which are .2 mils apart. It is just confusing for me.

    Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block

    I’ve run several of these. The reason that they recommend the carbine buffer and spring is that you can then adjust it so that you get the least amount of gas to cycle your AR. Less gas means less recoil. If you want even less gas/recoil, try the Springco Yellow Spring (reduced recoil...

    LMT Piston Barrel Accuracy?

    I had one when they first came out. It shot like any other AR. It had some real nasty carrier tilt that gouged the crap out of the enhanced buffer tube, which had the extended feed lips. The only piston AR that I would get is the Sig MCX.

    Rifle Scopes New for 2023 Optics

    The SLx 1-10 is kind of in between the old SLx and the new SLx. The turrets on the 1-10 are definitely from the older SLx. It is a decent scope. My buddy has it and I’ve shot it a ton of times.

    OCW Results (Confirm nodes)

    The more and more I mess with reloading the more I agree with @CK1.0 . I am also realizing that all this sweet spot, node, etc is all crap. IMHO, quality components and consistent loads are what makes good ammo. And sometimes for whatever reason, your barrel may just not like a certain...

    Well, so no shit there I was drunk.

    Your guys ever notice that no good story ever started with someone eating a salad? 😂 For the price, the ADM lowers are hard to beat because they are 100% ambi. I have no complaints about mine. The Geissele SSA or SSA-E are perfect triggers for an SPR. And as always said, some Sierra 77 gr...

    Brightest LPVO 1-8x Under $700

    The new SLX 1-10 SFP is supposed to be daytime bright. Two of my friends have them on pre-order so I’ll find out when they come in.

    Aero M5E1/M4E1 vs Seekins uppers?

    ADM sells an AR-10 Builder Kit with a 17” Handguard. The lower is 100% ambi.

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    The Vortex 1-6 is ideal for the TTG. When using the VTAC barricade remember that if you tilt the rifle to the left, you have to aim a little high and to the right. You just have to practice at different ranges to get your holds. It just takes practice. Out to 300 years, either set-up will...

    Rifle Scopes EoTech VUDU 5-25 w/TR3 reticle opinions!!

    Any experience with the EoTech VUDU 5-25 with the Tremor 3 reticle? I can get them for a really good price, but I’ve read that the glass was just ok even though it is Japanese glass. This will be for an 18” SPR Rifle to be used for PRS style gas gun competitions.I already have the Athlon ETR...

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    Totally agree with this. I’ve shot what feels like every LPVO out there and I currently have the Athlon ETR 1-10 (FFP). This scope is nearly perfect for me, but yet falls short on 1x. The ghost ring stadia lines are too thin on 1x and even though the illumination is actually pretty bright, it...
