    1-10x LVPO Comparison

    I am unaware of any of these optics being issued to the people who allocated funding for these optics.

    1-10x LVPO Comparison

    No real reviews exist of the AMG 1-10, despite it being a "high profile" optic, and very available. Like Dave Chappell says, maybe people are supporting it with their silence.

    5.56 in a short barrel-MK262 clone GTG?

    Apparently, but we've had better options for well over a decade since it was OP'ed.

    Anyone have any idea what happened to Hensoldt?

    They kinda have. I only know one, a former sniper. He now likes his Nightforce stuff and Leupold.

    5.56 in a short barrel-MK262 clone GTG?

    Ive shot plenty of deer with 5.56 from short guns. It works just fine. I use browntip, mk318, etc. Mk262 is peak GWOT, but in the hunting world its a paper puncher bullet and Id not recommend it for hunting.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ring torque question

    Exactly this. Different thread sizes, pitches, ano finishes, etc. will influence compression vs. friction (which is what torque wrenches actually measure).

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ring torque question

    Nightforce was originally 15 in-lb, but they upped it to 25 in-lb because people often called in asking "Is 15 enough for my such and such...?"

    How to "lock" Nightforce 1-8 diopter?

    I called NF and they said if tightened properly, it would stay PUT. They recommended rubber gloves, but also said a strap wrench if used intelligently would be fine.

    How to "lock" Nightforce 1-8 diopter?

    I used a narrow strap wrench that interacted with only the lock ring, and held the occular. I didn't get stupid, I just snugged it. I'd say it moved 1-1.5mm more than I got it by hand. I went and dumped 60rds through the gun doing up-drills and it didn't budge.

    How to "lock" Nightforce 1-8 diopter?

    It's pretty common, from what I gather. All of mine have done it, at least.

    "Short" LPVO's...?

    -I'm set on 11.5. It's as short as I can go and maintain the ballistic characteristics I want. -I am not sure which CNVD, although COTI was more the plan, if it fit, maybe, later. Voodoo-S is what has my eye so far, but that's not very in depth researched yet. -I use Raids, so they belong above...

    "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...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Wow. Im sorry, OP. I was considering this very optic, but will be keeping my nx8, instead. US support, and it works fine.

    Hunting with an AR?

    Yeah, 77TMK/OTM that frags will do wonders. To me, dead is dead, and the wounding I get from 70gr TSX is more than sufficient. Couple that with it shooting 1.5-1.8moa out of my guns, I tend to like it. It clocks 2545fps out of my 11.5.

    Hunting with an AR?

    I typically find that deer I shoot with a 5.56 either drop like a sack of bricks, or run 75-125m, depending on the terrain. Open ground, about 125m. They drop if the bullet passes anywhere near the spine. They run if lung/heart shot.

    I typically hunt deer with my 5.56 SBR.
