American made medium power optic (3-18+)

Take Doug up on his offer. He will hook you up with a great price on a nice optic; and will give you several options. CameraLand sells most of the brands mentioned in this thread so he doesn't have to push one brand over the other. Just lays it out straight and you can decide what makes the most sense. I've seen him jump in to help folks on this forum get their optic serviced, even if they didn't sell it. Very few vendors out there will go to that level.

My .02 cents is If you can deal with the 4x on the bottom end, I think the 4-16 ATACR is a better optic than the mk5 3.6-18 if durability is a primary consideration, but either should meet your requirements. To my eyes I can't tell much of a difference in glass quality between the two.

Why no bespoke autoloaders?

It really depends on the criteria by which you are using to compare. For example, I simply get much more enjoyment from shooting semi-auto than I do a bolt gun. The video I linked below is from JP when he's introducing his precision rimfire rifle, the JPRFX. He states that he needed the rifle to shoot 1 MOA for competition. Now if he can attain that level of accuracy but do it much quicker with follow-up shots, then it's a benefit to him.

The criteria I am using is pure accuracy and the ability to shoot a 12-15 round stage without failure to fire, failure to eject or failure to feed. Our local MD has that exact JP rifle and after 6 matches it was put back in the safe and replaced with his old bolt gun. For the record I have a Ruger 10-22 that will shoot 1 MOA and cost $400, compare that to the JP rifle you used as an example.

Cool story, broski. Changed my life. Go do several hundred mag changes, "I'm up! He sees me! I'm down!", vehicle cross loads, and principal evac/extract repetitions and let me know how things go after you refill your "I almost joined the Marines" Yeti tumbler with BRCC coffee.
glad i could change your life for the better.

7 PRC action length

I debated this ad nauseum before I went LA on this rifle w Defiance AnTi-X action. Reasons I settled on LA
  • Weight/length savings negligible in final analysis
  • Expensive action ($2000): I wanted versatility for any future builds on it (eg 300 PRC), not stuck w 6.5/7 PRC and similar
  • parts availability/compatibilit/options as mentioned
  • Resale value bc of above
Similar reason I went steel vs titanium - weight savings marginal utility, some smiths hate Ti when it’s time for rebarreling. And rifle is light enough w steel

Sig P320 Paranoia Setting in.

I saw this one as well; standing g at Parade Rest , hands clasped behind the back and M18 goes bang.

Update - I did read in my 320 owners manual that the positions of attention and parade rest and the lean and rest are known to make the 320/m18 fire - and they refer us to the part that says do not carry with round in chamber .

Worry not , your local ex IDF mall ninja has a Sig320 technique he wants to sell you in his firearms class . No more bang from your holstered Sig320 :ROFLMAO:

Anyone who has spent time behind both platforms has come to realize that the semi-auto is pale by comparison to most bolt guns.
