    Rifle Scopes Triggercam issues

    You said it’s an older unit, how old is it?

    What happened to US optics?

    For a while IIRC all their “higher end” long range scopes were fixed magnification. That’s fucking retarded and probably killed what little interest remained for them in the market.

    With Anzio essentially defunct, is anyone else making 20mm or larger modern rifles available in the U.S.?

    I’m not sure you understood me. I was asking if you crimp the bullets into the case mouth after loading to replicate the factory crimp on 20 Vulcan ammo. I have read of at least one person doing so with a pipe cutter using a rounded wheel. Re the bushed cases from CDVS, can’t say $20/case is...

    Were you using the black powder initiator that people often recommend?

    I have him building me one. I’ve never seen primers, lmk if you find any for sale that you aren’t buying yourself. I took delivery of a good number of M55A3 projos last week and gonna acquire brass soon. Do you crimp your bullets or just glue them in to save case mouth life? The factory ammo...

    Night Vision Nocpix clip on

    Be careful about believing that 1280 is automatically better than 640 in thermals, including clip-ons. At a given objective lens diameter, the increased size of the sensor only results in increased FOV, not increased resolution on the target. The Guide Sensmart 1280 clip-on has a 50mm objective...

    3x magnifiers

    I’ve tried like six different magnifiers, the Trijicon 3x mini is the best IMO. The glass is fairly good and it has by far the best eyebox and smallest “bezel” effect I’ve seen including the pricy Aimpoint and Eotech magnifiers. I still hated every magnifier I tried until I got the Unity FAST...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO or Red dot/magnifier for SBR

    Because you can easily pop the magnifier off when you don’t need/want the extra weight, or switch it from gun to gun in 5 seconds.

    Night Vision Looking to purchase first thermal clip on

    The rear lens assembly of a well-designed clip-on will have some maximum amount of angular deviation for which it will have the consistent POI shift that you describe. That is the angular tolerance for that clip on. When you add a wonky handguard it may exceed that tolerance if it’s bad enough...

    Night Vision Looking to purchase first thermal clip on

    Factory-collimated clip-ons are great but they can still have some POI shift, and if you add an unstable mount, that is no different from “tolerance stacking” in any other setting.

    Thank You SIG.

    Sig is eating a massive shit sandwich right now over the P320, which they completely deserve, but I do have to admit that their rangefinders punch way above their price point.

    What is your favorite folding knife?

    My understanding is that Magnacut will remain available. It might not be called Magnacut, but Niagara Specialty Metals already has sizeable orders for identical composition blade steel placed with multiple other respected powder metallurgy companies.
