Accessories Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M -- $4995 --

Bought in 2022 in Rome. It was worn frequently in a rotation of watches and therefore you will find regular wear marks on her. Having said that, nothing out of the ordinary and the sapphire is impeccable. I current own several luxury watches and recently decided that 1 is enough. My Omega's have been laying in my safe lately and this is the first one going up for sale.

She is wearing a Artem looples Hydroflex strap ($250) which arrived in the mail from Australia today. She comes with both the small and the large box, all the warranty cards, everything that was included when I purchased her. I paid 6600 Euro's for her. Todays purchase price from Omega would be $7100 USD + tax.

For sale for $4995

Will consider the following trades:

ZCO 420, x-reticles only
TT 735, Jtac

Oh no! Another cop thread

Like all other groups, cops exist on a curve. On one end youve got true saints, individuals who would run into a burning house, or frozen river, because thats the kind they are. Or like the one in the video will go out of his way to help you.

On the other end, you've got the true devils, the ones who shame their badge and even the air they breathe.

Most fall somewhere in between.

I lived in Virginia most of my life and knew a few Troopers. My uncle was one. Mostly good men doing a job. Those I've encountered in Kansas and Arkansas are a different breed...more akin to:

Skunks.

Flush cup considerations?

Can you experienced folks share your thinking/ considerations regarding flush cup type (when you use Full rotation, Limited, or Nonrotating cups?) and mount locations?

I have seen folks mount them on both sides of the bolt, sometimes with rear swivel high, mid and low on the stock. Usually see the front mount toward the front of the stock, but have also seen them mounted toward the rear of the forearm and being used to grip the sling as a shooting aid.

I am about to add some QD flush cups to a bolt hunting rifle. I have very limited experience with them and have always had my sling mounted in the traditional location. Figured you folks could steer me toward the most comfortable/ practical setup.

LPVO-second focal options

Bud, the question you're asking has a VERY subjective answer. I tore my hair out for over a year trying to find the perfect LPVO for me. I own or have owned every LPVO worth trying from about $2500 on down.

I have two main rigs. On one I run a TA11 ACOG with a Holosun on top and on the other a Nightforce NX8. My reasons for chosing those are subjective. From an objective point of view, considering things like field of view, the view through the objective, clarity of glass and robustness of build, I've gotta say that, for the money, the Gen II 1-6 Razor is still the one to beat.

Honestly, but for being a little heavy, I think an argument can be made for the 1-6 Gen II PST. At $500-$600, it's a heck of a scope.

In the end, I chose the ACOG for its simplicity, glass quality, size and weight, not to mention that it's bullet proof. I chose the NX8 for it's robustness of build, size, weight and glass quality. I did make sacrifices going with the NX8. Smaller field of view and tighter eye box, but it does what I need and it's so small that it doesn't get in the way.

Still, everytime I pick up my Razor, or even the PST, I'm amazed at what a shooter's optic each is. I see them as no compromise optics for their respective price ranges, at the expense of size and/or weight.

I'd start with a Razor in mind and make a list of those things you don't like about it, then find something that doesn't have those offending attributes and then decide what compromises you're willing to make. I was willing to compromise on eye box and field of view to get into something smaller and lighter.

If you don't mind the weight, the Razor is likely your answer. It may not be the absolute best choice, but it's rarely the wrong choice. It is an absolute joy to shoot with. There are two things that I don't like about it. The first is the weight, but it is what it is. The second is that it has a wire reticle. I prefer an etched reticle.

Oh, check out the Delta Stryke HD as well. Same scope as the Credo HX, but has an available mil reticle. I think the Razor is a better scope, but the Stryker is like $600 or so cheaper.

If you just want to dip your toe, find a used PST. Odds are that you'd be fine with it. Excellent 1x and good 6x. The only time I don't like mine is when I throw it on a 12.5 rig, adding almost 29 ounces and then throw on the light and suppressor and then have to carry it all around.
TonyAngel-

Thanks for the detailed response outlining why you made the decision you did. As I’ve been scouring the web for options to test and evaluate, it’s obvious several others feel the same way you do about the Gen II Razor 1-6. It’s an optic that sets the bar high for other manufacturers.

The optics you use are all well outside the criteria laid out for my consideration. The ACOG is a fixed power, not variable. The NX8 is first focal, not second. The recommended Delta Stryke scopes are MIL based.

When administrations like to see “options” before a selection is made, I like to compare a minimum of three. Right now the Gen II Razor 1-6 (VMR-2) and Tango6T 1-6 (HELLFIRE MOA) are the only two that meet the criteria I laid out in my initial post. Ikeman83 suggested the Kahles 16i (SI1) and that may just be the third option. The capped mil dials will likely be ignored outside of adjusting a zero, so an exemption to the selection criteria could be justified.

For those of you in the business or adjacent, this is a very instructive video.

I find it hard to believe those “security guards” are any kind of designated PSOs. Is that what passes for personal protection contractors now? Like calling a Muddy Girl camo Savage Axis a precision rifle.
