    Hunting/casual range scope

    I have zero experience with the SHV line so cannot comment, I have 20+ years experience with the NXS line, they are the benchmark for tactical real-world scopes for very good reason . Poorboyr, Leupold were the benchmark way back in my days in the monkey suit, they failed in real-world use very...

    Hunting/casual range scope

    Your caliber has some legs, the NXS would be a good fit. I have run the 3-15 and 2.5-10x42 extensively. Of the 2, for mixed use, the 3-15 would be my choice. It is significantly larger than the 2.5-10, but not so big it'll throw off that rifle. And it will be brighter in low light, though...

    6.5 Grendel vs 6.5 creed at 18 inches

    I have zero problem disagreeing with you entirely based on usage, experience, and priorities. That is the great thing about freedom, we both get to do what we want and not give a shit about what other people tell us is better. Let freedom ring...

    6.5 Grendel vs 6.5 creed at 18 inches

    I would add that a lot can go into that "etc." at the end of the OP's question. What is the application? My 12" grendel gets lots more time afield than my 18" grendel, and only because of how much easier/faster it is to maneuver. It is absolutely slower, no question: but if the application...

    Question on sales etiquette

    I am so confused by whatever the hell is happening here. I'll just leave you to it. Carry on.

    308 AR Jamming

    Because large format ARs aren't standardized, I usually buy complete guns rather than build. And with purchased guns, it is always an issue. I don't think it is as much about fit as the core long BCG design. Someone that builds can chime in, maybe it is different. For me the process is...

    308 AR Jamming

    I have posted this at least 10 times here, will continue to: AR10s are notoriously unreliable at first use. The trick is to overlube the BCG on breakin. If you think you have too much lube, you have almost enough. If you have ever frog lubed a BCG, that helps immensely too. Start with an...

    Zero Compromise Optic 2023 ZC527 MPCT2X and 10 MIL Turrets

    I'll give you $100 for that antiquated piece of shit. Cash money!

    Best 3-18x

    Were it my money, for an all-arounder, I'd get the ZCO420 (again.) I run the TT315P also and it is a great optic, but not $1k better than the ZCO. From your list in particular, I don't buy Kahles or Leupold, been fucked by both companies, the NX8 and ATACR are good scopes, the deal in the...

    Rifle Scopes What optics were popular a couple of years ago that could be had for cheap today

    A word of caution from the voice of experience: there are several generations of the K624i and the first gen scopes are worse than terrible. The 2nd gen are better but far from stellar. Be certain of which gen you are getting when you buy, else you could be overpaying, even at $1600. Some of...

    Leica amplus 6 or trijicon thoughts

    It doesn't usually take much to impress Leupold guys... And it isn't as much fun to hit it out of the park when you just lob one over the plate like that. Having run Leica binos forever and Leica scopes for several years, they don't disappoint. There is often a cheaper option, seldom one as...

    Streamlight for my AR...

    Absolutely not, no no no! "No one is wrong" is total horseshit and cannot be accepted in any intelligent conversation. There is an overwhelming abundance of wrong (not in this conversation), but that simply cannot stand as a point of view among grown men. On the lights, I agree that bright is...

    Streamlight for my AR...

    Have used both, and almost everything else. For me, it comes down to means of activation and battery needed to keep it on, solve for those first, then pick the light. If you have 123s laying around, take that into consideration; if AAs, or if you want rechargeable... Too bright can be a...

    Replacing a Midas tac with?

    A plug for the March 10-60x56 High Master. I just set one up for a friend and holy hell is it a great bench scope. No need for a spotter, good reticle, I really like the turrets, zero stop is all but idiot-proof. I liked it so much I might now need a March scope. Additionally, at a certain...

    Night Vision Thermal Clip On.... Mh25 and Eotech Xlr

    I went C35, maybe I shoulda stayed with that…

    Night Vision Thermal Clip On.... Mh25 and Eotech Xlr

    That would be better coming from someone else. I started with a bering super hogster and have now moved that to scanner duty. Whether helmet or hand-held works best is entirely dependent on how you hunt...stalking vs stationary.

    Night Vision Thermal Clip On.... Mh25 and Eotech Xlr

    Having hunted both dedicated and clip-on, I keep both options, but generally gravitate toward the clip-on, because my favorite gun can pull double duty. Be aware, thermal in most modest budgets (<$15k) is not a long range game, generally speaking. I've run a clip-on in front of many optics now...

    Best solutions for clip-on thermal on a traditional stock?

    Is the ZCO a confirmed thing, or just a wish list kinda thing? Never mind, goggle has the answer, I hate when people do that to me...

    Best solutions for clip-on thermal on a traditional stock?

    Another quick update to the very few that care. Lots of hours on the thermal now, lots of different weapons configurations tried, some worked, some not so much. I do like that the C35 has 3 internal image position settings, meaning 3 unique rifle zeroed settings. First, conventional...
