    Left handed AR for my son - looking at Stag Arms

    I'm also one of those who shoots lefty, and while I don't mind the brass (and all of my uppers are righty), I think keeping the gas--especially if suppressed--out of his face is a worthwhile reason. Of course, him saying "I don't like the brass" is a good reason too... If he ends up loving...

    Staccato P DSC Gunworks Barrel

    I recently installed a DSC Gunwork (threaded & fluted in PVD copper) drop-in barrel in my Staccato P. I bought it because I wanted a threaded barrel on which to mount a suppressor, or maybe a mini comp if the mood strikes. While it only has about 200 rounds--primarily Federal American...

    Any recent data on noveske 12.5 ss barrels?

    No worries, I didn't read it that way.

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Somewhere mid page has some of my thoughts on the March.. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/best-high-magnification-lpvo-for-my-use-case.7222277/#post-11633478 I like the March, and more than I thought I would when I first turned on the illumination and looked through it. For my...

    Wanting to build 16" Recce but hung up on barrel choice

    I also have and like V7 stuff. Amongst the collection... I have a 8.5" 300 though I "had" to send to D Wilson to open up the gas port a bit as it was a bit too temperamental for my ammo selection. I also undid the lightweight nature of it by putting on an Adams Arms piston kit (the gas port...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    I have one, though aside from basement pew-pewing and a few hours doing basic, up to 20 yard shooting, haven't really pushed it. Within that narrow scope--no pun intended--any particular questions?

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    I think the budget takes this out of the running, but It is--otherwise--an interesting option. The 34mm tube and heft gives it ATACR feeling in NX8 length. It is easier to be behind than the NX8, though Ive not spent enough time at various non-1x magnification to compare to the upper zoom...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    Id agree with that, with the 3 that I have had. The first was meh (although it could have been that I never quite got the ocular set up right; I did send it in and NF checked it out as within spec), while the 2 capped, DMx versions have been much better... You say the current 2.5-20 are...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    👍 I will say that if you go from looking through the NX8 to looking through the ATACR (or many others listed), you will "see" some of the limitations many have commented on. A sort of "looker's remorse," maybe. That said, if you work on the reps, find the right mount (I like 1.7" but have...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    For those of you commenting about not liking that the ATACR's ocular piece moves, NF sells an extended lever that makes it a bit easier to rotate the zoom if youre just leveraging the lever. I also prefer just the zoom ring to move, and the longer lever helps. OP, if "bright reticle" is that...

    Top 14.5” 223 Wylde/5.56 Barrels

    When you say comparisons, in what way do you mean? I'm happy to provide more information, but I'm not a good enough shooter to, eg, compare my V7 barrels to the other stainless steel barrels I have (Noveske, JP, and Centurion), even accounting for the differences in upper setup. Oh, has...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I agree; I wasn't as happy with the DFP 1.5-15's max brightness either, but decided--especially with an offset RDS--that it since it's not really being used as such, I'd (arm to forehead, woe is me) survive. It's a cool scope in its own respect. The 1-10's max setting--and this is swinging...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I recently bought and returned the FFP FMC2 1-10 (34mm tube) and didn't like the illumination as compared to the peer Vortex and NF I have. I was reminded here that the illumination on the DFP is better, and so ordered that. I mounted and zeroed it yesterday. So my usage is still limited, but...

    Top 14.5” 223 Wylde/5.56 Barrels

    I have a few V7s and second, or third, their quality. I can't tell you how well or often they print tiny groups, but that is more a me thing than a barrel thing. And they are not inexpensive. But... I would, and likely will, buy from them again. The one time I had a QC issue, I spoke with...

    1-10x LVPO Comparison

    🤦🏻‍♂️ Thank you for that clarification. Can either of you speak to the brightness on the 1-10 with the dual reticle as compared to the dual reticle 1.5-15 with the same reticle? That one I have... While it is brighter than the FFP 1-10, I'd--again, subjectively--not put it in the brightest...

    1-10x LVPO Comparison

    Unrelated to OP, but related to a few of posts mentioning the March 1-10... I had the Gen2 version with the FMC-2 reticle and returned after a few days. I need/ want my LPVOs to have very bright reticles (NF NX8 & ATACR, Vortex G3) and contrary to the posts above, I found the brightness to be...

    Shooting With Sunglasses

    Id say conditions and eyes dictate what is going to be comfortable. My eyes tend toward the "more sensitive to light," so if im at an outdoor range and theres a lot of sky or reflective surfaces (eg sand berms and such), something with a modest tint cuts down on the strain. I used to like...
