Ive been eyeing that Leupold 1-8 for awhile but its just to pricey for me, at least for now. So I went with the NightForce F1. How is that scope working out for you? How's the Glass, Tracking etc??
Does that Battle Comp add any extra noise compared to the A2 birdcage? Whats your overall opinion on it? Recoil reduction, Muzzle flip etc... Ive been thinking about getting one but dont want to make the gun any louder. I know they advertise that it doesnt add any noise but just what to get someone else's opinion on it. </div></div>
Thanks for the compliments!
So far the scope is great, I don't really have anything to complain about regarding the optic. It was bloody expensive, but not disappointing with the daylight visible illum on this model. I have not owned anything with a Horus reticle until now, I thought it might be too busy but on the contrary it is easy to work with. Knobs are very easy to work with and have a good tactile feel, not mushy or loose in any way. Field of view is good across the power range and glass is clear and bright, eye relief is great.
The 16" barrel contributes to the sound level more than the brake IMO, it is possibly just slightly noisier than with the birdcage. I know it gets attention from others at the range when it is fired due to the report, but it is not as bad as any of the big magnums. I have a .308 20" bolt rifle with a Surefire brake that seems louder to me than the MWS with the BABC.
My lower receiver has oversized FCG pin holes, thus the oversized KNS pins.
They did make a noteable difference in consistency on the Geissele trigger. With the standard pins I was getting inconsistant trigger brake with some creep, KNS oversize pins fixed the problem.
