    Black Hills 62gr 5.56 Dual Performance Evaluation

    The weapon used is a custom build utilizing a regular KAC MOD 2 barrel, CHF, of 11.5" in length with a KAC QDC suppressor. The optic used is a NF Nx8. The shooting method was from sand-bags, seated, at 100 yards. I began by loading a PMAG M3 with 30 rounds, then chambered a round, and admin...

    "Short" LPVO's...?

    What all is out there? NX8 PLX-C March Gen 2 Vortex AMG Am I missing any viable alternatives in that line-up? "Short" is 9.5" or less (in this context only). The reason "I care" is because it's going on an 11.5" gun with laser and remote and it all needs to fit sensibly. I also fantasize a...

    How to "lock" Nightforce 1-8 diopter?

    I know how to mechanically do this...twist the ring against the occular. However, it always seems to come un-done/loose as I shoot throughout the day---even short range sessions---even when I hit it with my purse. I know the ATACR is an issued optic...how is this being addressed, typically, by...

    Steiner t6xi vs nx8 LPVO

    both form factors will work for me. I want a robust optic with good 1x performance, reasonable ranged performance, and above all, reliable internals. Is the 1-6 Steiner a known quantity yet, or is the nx8 1-8 the easy button, here? I have an nx8 from 2019 or so, and its good, except the eyebox...

    Night Vision PVS14 vs RNVG

    I'm agonizing over which path to take. As I understand it: -PVS14 will allow me to perform tasks up close better in low light if there is enough ambient for my uncovered eye. -RNVG will allow me more depth perception, but I question how, as binoculars never seemed superior really to a rifle...

    Gunsmithing I'm new to barrels and just got a borescope!

    I can feel the cringe the title illicited, but it's also true. The beauty is, that I know I am ignorant, I know I do not know what I am looking at, and I'm curious and willing to learn. This is the first barrel I've borescoped, and am curious how it looks to someone who would know. My perception...

    Rifle Scopes Do you lube your 1913 rail?

    Do you add lube to your 1913 rail before putting rings or a unimount in place to hold it better? Why/why not?

    Rifle Scopes EraTac Mounts?

    Are they in the same league as Nightforce, Badger, KAC, Geissele, etc. unimounts? https://www.amazon.com/ERA-TAC-One-Piece-Ultralight-Mount-34mm/dp/B071K6YWMH/ref=sr_1_15?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1536075622&sr=1-15&keywords=EraTac+mount If anyone has one, what do these torx screws thread...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD2 vs...

    Is the Vortex Razor HD II line in the same league as the NXS, MK6, and other scopes regarding durability, repeatability, and ability to handle field use? Specifically I am speaking of the 1-6, but anecdotes regarding the higher power optics in the Razor HD II line apply, I'm sure.

    Gunsmithing How important is the Crown?

    I had always thought the crown MUST BE PERFECT or accuracy will be shit. Then one day I bought a 1940's .22 LR bolt gun. It was stunningly accurate at 50 yards. Not match-worthy, but notably, the bore was pitted, and the rifling itself looked like the yellow-lines on a road that we see jokes...

    Rifle Scopes Diopter, and FFP, and SFP optics...altering zero ?'s

    I know that on a SFP optic, changing magnification *can* alter the POI, if the optic has any flaws at all in the movement of the giblets. What about diopter? Say, if two people share a rifle for a course of fire, and prefer slightly different diopter settings, will the zero wander with BOTH the...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles vs. Mark 6 (specifically, 1-6's)

    Which one seems to be holding up better/having the least issues/is the most durably constructed?

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon 1-8...technical analysis, anyone?

    I am interested in the optic. I have looked through it. I have hefted it, twisted the knobs, and know what it costs. Basically anything you can "get" from YouTube or asking a buddy who has one, or handling it in a gunstore, I already know. Here are my questions, though, and I gather that they...

    Rifle Scopes Ring-cap screws...loctite? oil? chemically de-greased?

    What is the best method here? Chemically de-greased and bone dry? Loctite (which one)? Light machine-oil, as they ship? I do not want them backing out for any reason. I have heard multiple things, curious what others thing/do, etc.
