Rifle Scopes optic choice for 20" hbar gas gun

Another which optic for my precision gas gun thread... building a new rifle with a 20" Krieger hbar so should be a hammer. Main use will be targets out to max 800, DMR type matches, field shooting, maybe some deer hunting, etc. Will have an offset red dot for close in/night work. Currently have 3 optics that I'm going to try on it to figure out which one to use: Razor G3 1-10, PST G2 2-10, Razor LHT 4.5-22 ffp. As an aside, one of my all time favourite gas gun optics is the Bushy LRTSi 3-12, I have one on a 6.5 gasser and it's great but they are hard to come by these days. I also had a NX8 2.5-20F1 mil-xt and quite liked it. I run Razor G3 6-36s on my bolt guns but they're boat anchors so out of consideration here.

Although I think the 1-10 is a pretty ideal optic on a general purpose 16" rifle, I don't think it's what I'll end up running here as it's not ideal on 10x (very usable but obviously not optimized for that) and I'll have an offset dot for close-in use. I like to have the option to dial for longer engagements or smaller targets and the 1-10 isn't great for that with the capped turrets and relatively large center dot.

I currently have the PST 2-10 on an 18" .223 with a factory barrel that is decently accurate (1.5 moa 10rnd groups) but not a precision rig. I quite like this optic and have had no issues engaging my field targets (not great backstops, not high contrast so harder to resolve, etc) out to 700 yds and have been successful at times with it out to 830 but that's a push given the target is the same size as the rifle's ability to group and depending on the day it can be quite hard to spot splash. I'm not a huge fan of the reticle and wish that the windage, at a minimum was capped or locking but I can also live with them as is.

The Razor LHT is kind of a wild card in that it's more of a "precision" optic than I'd normally think of putting on a gas gun (that is more of a "field" gun and not a strictly target rig). I have one on my NRL Hunter/hunting rig and think it's possibly the best crossover tactical/hunting optic out there but always figured it as too much scope for a .223 gas gun. It's only when I started comparing specs that I realized it's only 3/4" longer than the PST 2-10, is 4.5oz lighter, has a much better reticle, locking elevation and capped windage. I guess the question is, unless I decide I like the 1-10 in this application, would I be crazy to use the LHT instead of the PST 2-10? Other than price I just don't really see a downside for my intended use.

Optics 36mm 1.26” RRS Uniblock mount

I have a few of these and looking to sell 1, maybe 2. One of the nicest mounts made in my opinion. Spring loaded rail clamp, and excellent machining with no sharp edges. A very sleek design. This mount is 36mm for those sweet ZCO scopes, and 1.26” high, 20 MOA.

All screws are T15 Torx.

Excellent shape, photo showing some glare and dust.

Reasonable cash offers considered--Let's make a deal!

Thanks for looking!

Anybody ever build on a Christensen action?

I believe I finally shot out my 243 Win. It is a Ridge line with the factory carbon barrel. I found a proof research .284 barrel locally cheap ($699) and thought about swapping barrels. After 3000+ hot rounds down the pipe on the 243. groups have gone from 1/2" to 3" of late. I really hate to buy another action. Can this one not be worked over and re barreled with good results in a hunting rifle?

Suppressors As if we needed another reason to love Otter Creek...

LOL @AndrewKing :ROFLMAO:


I have to also say I hate this mounting system. In my opinion and based on what we have seen over the last year of testing, it’s just not very good. I think buying this mount is a poor decision. Not because the HUB mounts are bad but because the mounting system and muzzle devices they’re designed around is bad. You can only polish a turd so much. I think it would be a better use of your time and money to invest in a different mounting system. But as I’ve said before it’s my job to make what people want and that doesn’t necessarily always line up with what I like or what I think is best. It’s long, it’s heavy, it’s expensive, it’ll carbon lock but hey at least you can use the same muzzle device that the military uses for when you’re knee deep in the shit in your boogerloo fantasies or whatever. So here you go, you’re welcome.

Threading lightweight barrel

I have a Tikka T3x Superlite in 300wm that I want to thread for my Griffin Paladin. I'm going to have a couple inches cut off the barrel and have it threaded. Griffin makes the brake attachment in quite a few thread pitches, but as best I can tell the only two that are viable for my situation are the 1/2x28 and 13x0.75.

.308 bore
.63 muzzle diameter

Would you folks suggest the 1/2x28 or 13x0.75?

PNW Boots

Anyone here a fan of or have any experience with PNW boots at all? (Pacific Northwest) brands like Nicks, Whites, JK, Franks, etc?

Just ordered a pair of JK Boots, had a question about QC as it relates to these style of handmade custom boots so wanted to see if amyone here happens to wear this style of boot.

Thanks

All New Iray RH25 V2

I've personally used the Trijicon M250, M300W, NVision Nox, AGM stingIR, Iray MH25 with the FLCOS, and the newer MH25 with the OLED, one of the only FLIR Breach 640 12 BOSON, and the Iray RH25 and RH25 V2.

I've used them as hand held, helmet mounted, weapon sighted, as well as clip on "if applicable" and I always tell guys my favorite thermal to date was the RH25. Now I have to admit it's the RH25V2.

As you can see in the pics, it boasts a huge ocular lens, giving you an amazing amount of forgiveness in eye relief, and allowing you at least a 5X mag when using as a clip on. I don't know exactly how much the display has actually grown, but I do know it's significantly larger than the V1, easily noticeable when compared side by side.
When I unboxed the unit, my first thoughts were the weight. I didn't know all the specs at the time so I weighed it with the pictail and the lens cover along with an 18650 in comparison to the Rh25 V1, The V1 weighed in at 13.7oz and the V2 is 12.7oz. I guess going to the machined magnesium body gave it a slight edge in weight reduction.
The other nice upgrade was the USB-C charge/data transfer port. I personally didn't have any issues using the 18650 batteries, as I would carry a spare in my agilite bridge, but now we may be entertaining the option using the unit with an external power source. The new V2 also has audio, which is amazing for us now you'll hear everything.
Another upgrade to note is the polarity, the polarity is on the same level as the RS75, TX60 and RH50R, which is the best I've seen in any thermal unit.
At a price that is 1K under the OG RH25 this is gonna be an a$$ kicker fellas. 5K for the new V2 is well worth it IMHO.
There is also the significant upgrades to the RL25 V2, with it's major talkingpoint being the ability to use it as a clip-on as well, and at a 3K pricepoint.
I have been using this for some time now and have a dozen coming to inventory this week.
I will also be doing a full review of this unit along with my personal helmet set up and a side by side comparison to the RH25's V1 and V2.
