    Ammo POI Shift (Didn't think it would be that much)

    Me neither. 55g BHBB only shifts about 1 inch or so compared to their 75g. Weird. I'll have to compare it in my Mark12MOD0 next time out.

    Surefire Muzzle Device for Accuracy?

    Thanks. I'll have to take a look at that in more detail. Seems like the APA Micro Bastard comes in 1/2x28 threads but has a 30cal hole, which is interesting which may make it less prone to induce accuracy issues.

    Surefire Muzzle Device for Accuracy?

    This is the article I was referring to and if you look half way down, they compared bare muzzle vs warcomp without the can attached. This is what I'm looking for. Accuracy with a muzzle device, not POI shift. https://www.ar15.com/forums/precision-rifles/Surefire-Warcomp-accuracy-loss/4-4018/

    Surefire Muzzle Device for Accuracy?

    Ok thanks. I have a 3 prong installed on my 11.5 but was thinking about the brake for my 16" proof. Since it is a bench gun I was thinking the brake would help mitigate the jump/recoil more than the 3 prong. I'm still doing research.

    Surefire Muzzle Device for Accuracy?

    Did you ever pick a muzzle device? I have a RC2 in jail. Going with a 3 prong on an 11.5" but I have a 16" proof build I'm may run the RC2 on as well. I can't decide if I want to go with another 3 prong or go with the brake for the proof barrel.

    Ammo POI Shift (Didn't think it would be that much)

    I was shooting at an 11.5x9 standard piece of paper that had multiple small targets printed on it, the ones you download and print. Shooting at the top target went off the paper. I had to shoot at the bottom target to show impact on the top target.

    Ammo POI Shift (Didn't think it would be that much)

    I have a high end AR-15 I put together last year. Proof Research CF 16" 1/8 barrel running a NF ATACR 4x16 in a badger C1 mount. Benched with Bipod and rear bag. I have it zeroed for BHBB 223 75g MHP. I decided to get some Federal Gold Match Premium 77g SMKHP and upon firing 3 rounds, at 100...

    Rifle Scopes NF Digilum Question ATACR vs NX8

    Tried a new battery. No difference. I thought I read another post saying the only way they can tell if the Green was on was to close the scope cover. Mine is the same way. I'll try again at 9pm and check it out. 9pm is 20 minutes past sundown.At 9pm I was able to use green and red. Green on its...

    Rifle Scopes NF Digilum Question ATACR vs NX8

    I did call NF and my ATACR was shipped out of the factory in April 2021 so I would assume the battery is good in mine. He only said the circuit boards may be different between the ATACR and NX8 since the tubes are different sizes but the illumination isn't supposed to be daylight visible.

    Rifle Scopes NF Digilum Question ATACR vs NX8

    The only thing I can say about mine is they were out of stock everwhere. As soon as they came back in stock, I grabbed one. Since there is no build date I can only assume mine is a 2021 manufacture date. No idea how old his NX8 would be.

    Rifle Scopes NF Digilum Question ATACR vs NX8

    I don't know if I'll have the chance to get both in hand to compare any time soon. I think I read on some online reviews that people would complain about how bright the illumination was and would bloom out so far over the reticle that it would be an issue. Maybe since the ATACR 4x16x42 was...

    Rifle Scopes NF Digilum Question ATACR vs NX8

    Thanks. I may call NF Monday to see what they have to say also.

    Rifle Scopes NF Digilum Question ATACR vs NX8

    I recently picked up an ATACR 4x16x42 and my buddy picked up a NX8 4x32x50. Both are Mil-c. We were having discussions about the NXS and I said the Digilum isn't the same as what was used back in the day on the NXS. We proceed to talk about the new Digilum on our new NFs and I said in daylight...

    Anyone use NF Unimount A497 on AR15?

    I'm looking to see if anyone thinks if a NF Unimount A497 will give enough offset for a typical AR15 magnified optic with a 3.5" eye relief. I've come across some pictures and it looks like some may be doing it where the optic comes a little past the CH. I'm not sure if I should look for a...
