I've got three of the things now and will keep buying them. Great glass for night time work. I put a 3-9 amber crosshair dot on my darling's 17fireball and it's an effin widowmaker now. put a #4 amber dot in the 1-4 on my 300blk suppressed upper and just bought a 2-10 red triangle from a fellow 'hider for my new 22-250.
Just wait til you start working those hogs over in the dark-thirty hours, you're gonna love it!
Post up some kill pix and let us know how she's doing.
For ammo options, I got a shit ton of the blue box Blackhills 68grn hp's last year and all my 8 or 9 twist barrels love it. It butt slamms the pigs too.

Be careful fondling that new stick of yours in public....people might start to wonder
</div></div>
I got the duplex reticle with the green dot. I've actually never really had very good luck with hollow points on hogs but then again I was using cheap ammo and it was 55 grain so idk. I'm partial to soft points but I'll try out the Black Hills hp's. And I would LOVE to get a silencer but I doubt it will be anytime soon. Now that the AR is done I'm going to start paying for my own diesel and putting money away for college so that doesn't leave much for a silencer. I might start a silencer fund though lol. We'll see...
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: trident1982</div><div class="ubbcode-body">While I think the BAC 1.5/2 do offer some real noticeable differences, and for some ARs I do believe they at least provide measurable performance gains over the stock A2 devices.
I was fortunate enough to receive several BACs, and a BABC in order to perform some testing back when they first came out. I currently have three ARs with BAC devices...
1.) MRP SBR 10.5" w/ BAC 2.0
2.) DD LW Mid 14.5 w/ BAC 1.5
3.) MWS 16" w/ BABC
The only one of those three that I would personally go out and spend the $150-220 it costs for one is for the second rifle listed.
For an SBR, it has plenty of benefits, and to be honest very few disadvantages over the A2 on these particular types of ARs. Bottom line be it an A2 or BAC device, a 10.5" is gonna be loud, and produce significant amounts of muzzle blast. That said, I wouldn't call it a $150s worth of upgrade.
For the MWS, it has some nice benefits such as it slightly reducing recoil, and at least stays on par with the standard .308 A2 device in terms of flash suppression. Personally I don't think the juice is at all worth the squeeze on this one even though sure I'd take the BABC over the stock A2.
Lastly, the midlength 14.5" DD, BCM, etc. LW models were imho born for having BAC 1.5s in tow with them. This device on these particular unique configurations, really do complete the total package that is a incredible fast handling/shooting 14.5" AR....that has been smoothed out exponentially in comparison to say a 14.5" M4 type w/ carbine gas and stock A2 device.
The BAC along with nowadays a SD-3G trigger on that rifle is really unlike any other shooting AR I've found. It puts woman to sleep shooting it.
SHORT ANSWER: For your rifle, I think you already have the best muzzle device for it...which is the AAC blackout devices, or the Vortex device.
For a 5.56 precision AR....taming recoil is essentially the same as taming it on a ruger 10/22, so recoil reduction by way of the BAC for your rifle doesn't really do anything as I'm sure you have no problems following your own shots with it. Now in terms of muzzle rise reduction...I highly doubt you built that laser beam for dumping mags, and running CQB stuff. So again the BAC's ability to compensate for muzzle rise is by in large wasted just like it is in the recoil reduction aspect from above.
You got the perfect device currently for what I think your rifle was built to do. I'd be buying a box or two of Hornady 55gr. Vmax instead of a new device

Yeah this rig will never see any rapid fire, unless of course I get charged by a hog or something. The recoil with the Vortex isn't bad at all, I was just wondering if the BC was a better option and it looks like I'll be sticking with the Vortex.
