    AR10 accuracy question

    You chose the wrong tool for the job. I have that same gun, love it, but I accept that it isn't a precision bench gun. Sell the Sig, get a bolt gun, rock on. And there is much truth to "1 MOA at 100 yards does not mean 1 MOA at 600 yards." A shit shooter can hide lots of terrible...

    MK Machining help. ARD on a 1x optic?

    I've only used 1 ARD on a dedicated 1X, it was on the old dual RMRs and it was to darken the window because the reticle was so dim. On a variable, lens flare is lens flare, regardless of magnification. It is a tool that accomplishes a specific task; there are multiple ways to accomplish that...

    MK Machining help. ARD on a 1x optic?

    Not a dummy, at least not about that. I have an Elcan SpecterDR 1X/4X with ARD and there just isn't a way to hide an ARD on a 1X - at least not one that would work well - keeping in mind what an ARD is for... Tell the customer when he mall ninjas at the local gun range, take the ARD off. When...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    In certain small communities, they are referred as "OAF": Operator As Fuck. Even tier 1 guys don't mess with OAF. There is a list of OAF tell-tale signs, tread lightly.

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    Wow, that's not a bit of a change, that thing is entirely different. My trials and tribulations in running the rail-mount stem exclusively from the scope-to-thermal offset that happens on rail-mounted things. The objective mount looks weak, but it should align far more naturally than rail...

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    Night Vision Return to zero - Clip on tips and tricks?

    Mine is rail mounted. If you can find the rail mount, I highly recommend.

    Night Vision Return to zero - Clip on tips and tricks?

    Immobilize gun barreled down a coin or piece of foil on a target bullseye at 100 yards, carefully add clip-on to rail, check that crosshairs still on heat marker at 100 yards. If not, take the clip-on off, check again. If verified as no gun movement, re-attach clip-on (carefully) and reset...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Not form 4 but worthy of repeat: form 1 filed 4/4/2024, approved 4/5/2024 - I shit you not. Something has to be very wrong, no federal agency works efficiently, it has to be a ruse of some sort...

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    No no no, NODs is a different conversation. This has been about thermal. The helmet-mounted dual aviator-tube with SBR and IR laser is a whole other conversation. To be clear.

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    No. Pigs and yotes and bobcats: they mostly come at night... mostly.

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    Very big deer, big hogs, some exotics, and sometimes yotes and bobcats. Most of my efforts are in south Texas, where everything has thorns or fangs or claws - and they all wanna kill me. And brush is very thick, if an animal runs 50 yards, you might not find it. I've spent enough hours...

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    Most can hold multiple profiles. And zeroing thermal clip-on can be a pain. For me, most thermal shots are 0-200 yards, but I am mounting to a gun that can get me beyond 800 reliably. The task picks the gear. Tell us more about the task, else I am just describing what I do and why.

    Thermal Scope vs Clip on

    I have gone through exactly what you are asking and, given what I do, I chose both for different situations. The key benefit to dedicated thermal is ease of use, and a zero that you trust to not deviate. The downside is you have a dedicated thermal gun. The key benefit to clip on is you...

    Scope for LWRC REPR MKII 7.62mm NATO 16.1"

    “M” is for the poors. Carry on.

    Scope for LWRC REPR MKII 7.62mm NATO 16.1"

    Steiner C35 here. There are things to dislike about that thing (brick like, 35mm objective) and things to love (bluetooth integration, phone app, menu is awesome, battery life is too.) Where the Steiner goes, the March 1.5-15 goes too, it is a perfect match. My go-to 308 gasser wears a...

    Scope for LWRC REPR MKII 7.62mm NATO 16.1"

    Since you brought up thermal clip-on: I've run a clip-on in front of the TT 315P, ZCO420, and March 1.5-15. Glass in all is stellar, but the magnification was the real game-changer for me. Being able to utilize the entire image at a 1.5-2.5 mag is invaluable for the way I use thermal. As...

    Be sure to spit our your Beechnut Wintergreen before you don and clear. If you make that mistake, you'll only make it once. I did it long before everyone had a camera at the ready, to document my stupid. So, now I document my stupid online with posts just like this one. Puking in MOPP gear...

    Texas Heli hog hunt

    Great, thanks for that, now I need a flame thrower, my wife loves me spending time here! I've done piglets and you just dip them in boiling water, it is also efficient (for anyone with a turkey frier) and avoids what has to be a terrible, terrible smell using your method...
