    Why put a red dot on 1-8x

    Red dot serves 4-5 purposes (at least). 1. If a threat pops up very close while you’re on 8x, it’s WAY faster to rotate slightly and engage with an offset red dot. 2. An offset red dot is WAY better than iron sights as a backup sighting system if your primary is compromised by fog, mud, or...

    Unknown Munitions Tikka Action

    My “luck” has been terrible with Remingturd. I’ve owned 2 with lawsuit triggers (put safety on, pull trigger, gun will fire next time safety is switched off), one which fired immediately upon closing the bolt fast/hard, and one that wouldn’t feed reliably… a bolt gun that wouldn’t feed reliably...

    Unknown Munitions Tikka Action

    One of the advantages of Tikka over Remington is the stiffness of the action… These guys cut the top open, removing that stiffness… and want to get paid for doing that? 🤣

    Opinion time, Some Market Research

    My preference: 1: 34mm 2: 30mm 1.5” for compatibility with military standard night vision and thermal clip ons. 0 MOA cant for the same reason I know that’s not a huge market

    SOLD ECOTI

    Excellent condition. I’d prefer cash but trades for high end thermals, night vision, gold, or MARS/RAPTAR type lasers considered. $5900

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    You’re actually wrong… again. With thermals, the mm number 35mm etc. doesn’t refer to the diameter of the objective lens. I recommend a little research.

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    🤦‍♂️ My reading comprehension was just fine. I know you didn’t say all thermals suck. You said clip-ons suck. It’s actually your reading comprehension that’s experiencing a hiccup. I was very open to the possibility of your having just misstated your situation, but you’ve now clarified that...

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    I’d recommend searching around this forum for several days before making any decisions. There’s more to learn than you can get from one or two responses and it’s a big financial decision for most people. First, I’d search “ clip-on vs stand alone thermal”. There are pros and cons to each and...

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    Maybe you meant something different from what you typed? What you typed is that you tried one product (statistically likely that it was a budget brand based on market share and your specific description), and then dismissed the entire category as products that “suck at anything but 1x”. You...

    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    I was defrauded about $4000 in a similar situation in 2016 (reputable long standing businesses suddenly stopped shipping product while still taking orders). I was one of 133 people who got taken for between $400 and $103,000 each. Yesterday… yesterday… I got a check from the DOJ. They found...

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    Not trying to be too abrasive, but the OP specifically asked for people NOT to give the category of response you just gave. “I really want to stick to products that are “military grade” or have been issued. Not interested in imported from china or consumer level products.” With the notable...
