From a life experience perspective, it may be worth it for you-- in terms of financially preparing yourself for 'retirement age', in my opinion it would be a terrible financial decision. You'd be pulling funds out of something that (generally) appreciates and dumping it into something that...

Limiting to things I haven't seen mentioned yet: Possibly feasible: 'Instant' zoom toggle from remote switch (low to high zoom without hands having to leave the rifle). ie, scan for target at min zoom, once target in-scope, tap the switch to zoom in, engage target, tap to zoom back out and...

Most of y'all know this, but just a caution for those who may not be fully up on these matters (IANAL, research this stuff yourself and/or via a real lawyer)-- more or less: to be legal it must have been originally transferred as a pistol or as a "receiver". If you purchased your AR as a...

Bah, I'm out for the September match. Not sure when I'll be able to come play again, but I'll look forward to it.

I may have missed the "answer" in this thread, but I know several were asking about shooting with suppressors. I submitted the question via their website and got a prompt response:

Looks like I have that Saturday available again for once, please put me down for a September slot (last chance for a while, unfortunately). Thanks, Matt J.

It depends on what kind of shooting you are doing. In many "tactical" style match stages where you are transitioning between far-apart targets and such under time pressure, I would say 'yes' -- for me 20x would take too long to "find" the targets (for < 600 yards in such situations, I'm...

August me up as well, please!

If there's any left I'll take: GREEN, D-RINGS, Regular Price $65.00, This sale $26.00 EACH And a 36" FASTEX belt. Thanks!

Shorter seating decreases case volume which increases pressure. This goes over it a bit more... http://www.bergerbullets.com/effects-of-cartridge-over-all-length-coal-and-cartridge-base-to-ogive-cbto-part-1/

Please also put me in for July, if there's room.

Hi Kyle, still rockin' my aluminum XLR, but definitely having thoughts about a carbon in the future. I realize it is very new and may or may not be super widely adopted beyond Magpul going forward, but have you given any consideration to a version of the carbon hand guard (or even the...

Yeah, perfectly level (confirmed by plumb line, etc) reticles always appear canted to me, but opposite direction depending on which side I shoulder the rifle -- I think it is an optical illusion that happens because our heads are generally canted somewhat when we shoulder a rifle... I do...

If you want something super lightweight/cool yet durable, check out Rail Riders VersaTac-light pants (their new Bushwhacker pants look great too if you don't love the cargo pant thing).

Looks like the scope is sold with a 20moa mount -- make sure you didn't install the mount backwards (ie, the scope in the mount should be tilted slightly forward with respect to the rifle).
