Re: IOR Valdada 3x18x42 for LWRC REPR Got one on my DPMS .308 and love it. I can actually get it mounted with the factory rings.

Re: New Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4X, anyone have info? Here's a pic of the TR24 on my patrol and my SPR rig as well.

Re: New Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4X, anyone have info? I went with the red triangle as it was available when I wanted to order one. It sits on my patrol rifle right now. I am actually faster with it than I was with my RDS, mostly due to the much brighter reticle. For fine shooting I have to...

Re: IOR 3-18x with mp8 reticle I love the reticle so much I have two IOR's. The more I use it the more I love it. As I am getting better with ranging and hold overs, the reticle is really showing its value.

Re: IOR 3-18x with mp8 reticle My elevation turret is tighter than the windage, but not to the point that it is a bother. I figured it was tighter as the knob was bigger and could apply more leverage.

Re: FN SCAR I've got two XCR's and while I would like a SCAR for my collection, I can't really see what it does better than my XCR, other than having FN marked on it. IF the SCAR's can ever be had at or under $2K I might look at one.

Re: How many rounds do you have through your 308? I am coming up on 3K through my DPMS semi auto. It is a factory AP4 profile barrel. Factory loads only so far and it is more accurate now than before or maybe it is that I am more accurate with it than before.

Re: IOR 10X at 50 yards I use both of my IOR's from 25 yard to 500 so far and no problems at any distance. My 3-18 doesn't like much more than 5-6 X at 25 yards My 2-12 focus down that close at all powers. Have you got your dipoter adjustment correct as I never have trouble focusing on the...

I just finished building a heavy barrel XCR in .223. The gun has a Magpul CTR stock, the new enhanced trigger group, 16 inch heavy barrel topped off with an IOR 2-12. In preparation for a training we are hosting I have been running through all the drills with this gun with our practice ammo...

Re: I need a new optic for my AR I've got an IOR 2-12 on my heavy barrel XCR build. I think it fits this role perfectly.

Re: Opinion on IOR Both my IOR's had the rings torqued to 25 inch pounds. No problems here.

Re: Training Ideas I came across a "Bill" drill for precision rigs and an "el presidente" for precision rigs in a LE article. Let me know what you guys think of them. I ask as when I ran the drills by one of the guys on the team he could not see the value in them. For the bill drill, the...

Re: Training Ideas I love the building drill. We will be using this down the road and maybe for the regional day. There is still a lot to be done and I don't know if we could get everything done. I shot Insayn's drill today using a T zone face target and it is anything but easy. I was...

Re: Training Ideas We do a drill that covers a lot of the same skills as sectorization. We use a deck of cards, with the cards split between 2 or 4 boards set at 50 and 100 yards, or 25, 50, 75, 100. The RO drops a card between the pair and they have a limited time to scan the boards, find...

Re: Opinion on IOR I sent my 3-18 back as there were a couple little bubbles in the bottom 1/3. They weren't noticeable all the time and didn't affect a thing. I ran the claim through Scott and he arranged for me to send it back to Valdada. I had a new scope a week later. I can say that...
