    Night Vision Help me spend money on NODs (or not)

    So many questions, and short of answers, anything would be a shot in the dark at an unknown target. I can do that... or: 1. What are you doing with thermal now? 2. Is there a current unmet need? 3. Is there a need for movement in the dark (which is really the only reason to pick traditional...

    Scope advice needed

    March 1.5-15x42. Absolute titties. For hunting, for ringing gongs. Small for a smallish platform gun. Titties!

    Scope advice needed

    Take some of that budget, dump the brake, get a suppressor. I hate hunting with brakes. Then again, as my beloved USMC taught me - hearing protection: the less you use it, the less you need it... I'd also take some of that money and spend it on professional instruction, if you haven't had...

    Wow FX Panthera

    FX M3 Compact inbound, have high hopes. They are fun quiet and fun accurate. Utah Air Guns was awesome to deal with (EdGunsWest, not so much...)

    Acceptable scopes for 1k+

    Are you familiar with M1 weapons? Are you getting it because you really want an M21 or are you getting it to shoot lots? It is a cool weapon, I've had a few and loved them for what they were. What they were not was easy to scope, easy to shoot scoped, or easy to keep running at peak...

    Acceptable scopes for 1k+

    1. Do you have access to 1000+ yards? 2. What is the max distance you are presently comfortable shooting? 3. Who makes the gasser you want? 4. Are you expecting bolt gun precision and accuracy from said gasser? I can throw stuff out, but details will help make sure what I suggest is really...

    Rifle Scopes Nx8 for hunting rifle ?

    All eyes are different, my comment was not a dick-measuring thing; I was just surprised to hear that comparison. Where ZCO - and most high end stuff - really distinguishes is in bad conditions and when you stay on scope for long periods of time. All is well, just more points of view. Carry on.

    Rifle Scopes Nx8 for hunting rifle ?

    Either best ATACR ever or worst ZCO… have run both quite a bit. Maybe if looking at ideal target under ideal conditions both at 4X, sure. Eye box, color fidelity, low light, turret spinning - not sure what to say. Have spent lots of time on scope with both, ZCO is easier for me to get behind...

    FULL AMBI LOWERS W/Great R&D & WARRANTY

    My bolt guns are all righty (except for a 40X lefty, the only one I have ever seen in 7.62) and I am absolutely faster on a righty bolt gun running lefty. On ARs, I served with all right hand only guns, so have that down well. I was well loved in stacks because I can swing right and clear...

    FULL AMBI LOWERS W/Great R&D & WARRANTY

    The Strike mag release is the big offender, spring is way too weak, so avoid anything that uses it. I often just run mil spec lowers with ambi safety and norgon mag release, then bolt release with trigger finger, as said above. Some of us served before there was ambi anything, in which case...

    FULL AMBI LOWERS W/Great R&D & WARRANTY

    Haven't read every word, sorry if repeating: the big issue for me is making sure there is separation between the bolt release and the mag release. Several companies redneck engineer an ambi mag release that all but hits the bolt release. Under stressful reloads, you will unload too - and not...

    Carry belt

    Kore, easy. Their longevity is limited (I think I am on my 3rd or 4th in about 8 years of almost daily wear), adjustment is great, and the buckle is heavy enough to be a weapon by itself if needed. I always fly with a Kore belt... To be clear, the ask is for a daily wear belt for CCW, it...

    Texas builder/smith

    Roberts Precision, his work is art, his guns shoot lights out. He has done several builds for me and his stuff is fantastic. I have no idea what his waits times are right now, but his stuff is very much worth the time and money.

    Optic for SBR 556?

    These threads are always good for a laugh, thanks guys, I needed this today. I really did. Some good shit in here...

    Rifle Scopes What's the REAL story on SWFA?

    Light in front of the scope causes a white-out situation. For times when you can manage light well, is fine; for times you cannot, it is a paperweight... And a paperweight when you need a scope is a bad bad thing.

    Discreet carbine carrying case?

    LAW folder, large-ish backpack, works like a charm - immediately available if/when needed.

    Night Vision Clip on mount question

    I am talking to them about exactly the same thing: mounting a thermal on a 700LA Manners HTG. Be aware the Spurh is good for up to 308, they don't recommend for anything bigger - especially if the thermal is a heavy one. I was on board till they told me they need the complete rifle for the...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    Throw a bit more cash into that pot and just get the March 1.5-15, it is absolute titties! Isn't as fast as a red dot, but is plenty fast for any application not CQB. Nightforce 2-10 is a great optic not on your list.

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    1. That seekins above with magnifying + red dot + offset irons: dude, leave some pussy for the rest of us... 2. I am a big SWFA fan; however, the 2.5-10 is a "get what you pay for" scenario, if you got it on sale. I got one years ago and it sits in a bin now because any light shining into...
