    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I agree; I wasn't as happy with the DFP 1.5-15's max brightness either, but decided--especially with an offset RDS--that it since it's not really being used as such, I'd (arm to forehead, woe is me) survive. It's a cool scope in its own respect. The 1-10's max setting--and this is swinging...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I recently bought and returned the FFP FMC2 1-10 (34mm tube) and didn't like the illumination as compared to the peer Vortex and NF I have. I was reminded here that the illumination on the DFP is better, and so ordered that. I mounted and zeroed it yesterday. So my usage is still limited, but...

    Top 14.5” 223 Wylde/5.56 Barrels

    I have a few V7s and second, or third, their quality. I can't tell you how well or often they print tiny groups, but that is more a me thing than a barrel thing. And they are not inexpensive. But... I would, and likely will, buy from them again. The one time I had a QC issue, I spoke with...

    1-10x LVPO Comparison

    🤦🏻‍♂️ Thank you for that clarification. Can either of you speak to the brightness on the 1-10 with the dual reticle as compared to the dual reticle 1.5-15 with the same reticle? That one I have... While it is brighter than the FFP 1-10, I'd--again, subjectively--not put it in the brightest...

    1-10x LVPO Comparison

    Unrelated to OP, but related to a few of posts mentioning the March 1-10... I had the Gen2 version with the FMC-2 reticle and returned after a few days. I need/ want my LPVOs to have very bright reticles (NF NX8 & ATACR, Vortex G3) and contrary to the posts above, I found the brightness to be...

    Shooting With Sunglasses

    Id say conditions and eyes dictate what is going to be comfortable. My eyes tend toward the "more sensitive to light," so if im at an outdoor range and theres a lot of sky or reflective surfaces (eg sand berms and such), something with a modest tint cuts down on the strain. I used to like...

    Best flow through suppressor

    I second/ third the above. The only reason to need them is a) you want predrilled hole used for P/W to line up at 6:00 or b) you want the P/W to line up at 6:00. Personally, I ignore A, but shim for B. I guess... there is an addendum to A. The standard length flashhiders for 1/2x 28 have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol options under $2500

    I have a few STI/ Staccatos, and a Platypus on the way (I waited for the bull barrel and more aggressive grip options) If the goal is to ignite passion, the Platypus seems like a good choice. The standard buying process affords plenty of options and the number of color options means you can...

    LMT .308 MWS

    It's a MWS in 308/ 762. I haven't tested for accuracy, though if I get ambitious, as the weather warms, I'll bring a scope to the range one day and do so. Sadly, I am not one of those shooters who can produce amazing groups with low magnification. I do have a 16" 5.56 and a 22" 6.5 CM both...

    LMT .308 MWS

    This seemed a fun way to contribute to the LMT page... Despite the monolithic upper not being the lightest, or even a light option, I had it and wanted to do something completely opposite from the portly, 20" SS "precision" setup I also have. I sent a V Seven 14.5" flutted barrel to D...

    Question about 13.9in vs 14.5in

    There are 3 options, if you can find them. The standard will work with a 14.5, the extended for 13.9 and the extended XL for 13.7... While not in stock, Bauer Precision has the two extended versions side by side HUXWRX notes the OAL of the (13.7) XL is 2.96" Bauer notes the OAL of the (13.9)...

    Question about 13.9in vs 14.5in

    HUXWRX, at least for 5.56 flash hiders, will get a 13.7, 13.9, and 14.5 to the required 16. This is from their site for their standard FH: "The Flash Hider-QD 556 is designed to mitigate flash when unsuppressed. Muzzle device length is 2.3 inches, length added to barrel is 1.7 inches (on...

    Question about 13.9in vs 14.5in

    Single digit splits...? lol. Yes 13.7 vs 13.9 vs 14.5... that was the 3 way split.

    Question about 13.9in vs 14.5in

    Much of my time spent staring at my various builds, pondering swaps of this or that into that or this is almost purely in the service of those itty bitty hairs. :ROFLMAO:

    Question about 13.9in vs 14.5in

    It will also depend on what thing youre pinning and the barrel profile. Some flash hiders and brakes are are long enough to bring a 13.9 to the 16" OAL. So, were you choosing to P/W whatever that brand/ model is, you'd be over by a bit. Ive got a few OSS/ HUXWRX and their normal muzzle...

    .22lr barrels for AR platform

    What optic and use do you anticipate? I have a 7.5" and a 9.5" barrel from Beyer Barrel that I have been very happy with. The 7.5" worked well with everything, while the 9.5" had to go back because it was misfeeding. I don't recall what the exact issue was--it may have been the chamber or...

    .300BLK Piston Operated Rifle Build

    Good to hear. I have... more than a few HUXWRX cans and *really* like them on my gas guns. Its only the 300blk (which mostly shoot subs) that have other cans (SF and DA)--mostly for [necessary?] backpressure as well as [real/ said on internet] sound performance.

    .300BLK Piston Operated Rifle Build

    I have this upper and like it. Most of its use has been with subs and a SF SPS300 on--I think--the "light normal" gas setting. Its definitely heavier (beefier?) than the Noveske 10.5 DI I have, but thats more data point than outright bad. Things I've noticed with the POF is the handguard...
