    I need a lightweight, compact 2-10....

    Thanks for the great discussion and all the suggestions. Wanting a very compact scope, I ended up going with the Eotech Vudu 1-10. Locking elevation turret, capped windage turret, reticle great for holdovers, 20 ounces and 10.6 inches. There's a lot to like about this optic. Not sure I'd want...

    I need a lightweight, compact 2-10....

    Thanks for the replies folks. I know FFP isn't as important in this magnification range. Short and light with good glass probably tops my "wants" list for this build but a mil-based reticle is also a necessity. That said, I'm seriously considering another NX8 1-8 now that they've got that...

    I need a lightweight, compact 2-10....

    Who makes a super compact, lightweight 2-10 power with good glass, an illuminated FFP mil based reticle, .1mil knobs, 10-ish inch OAL, 32-ish mm objective, 20 ounce weight for under $2000? Does anybody check all those boxes? So far I've looked at the Leupy Mk5HD 2-10 & March Compact 1-10. I'd...

    New Norma 223 Rem Brass & Primed 308 Win Brass

    Picked up 1K of the primed 308 brass. Just got it in and it is nice stuff. I know it's made by Norma so it should be. From the sample (~100 pcs) I've weighed and measured, it's very consistent in weight (~1.5 gr ES), neck diameter (.333) and OAL (2.008+/- .001). Not bad for bulk brass.

    Most obnoxious muzzle brake

    Gonna date myself here but the Bushmaster Mini-Y Comp that was on my Clinton Ban era AR was absolutely brutal on bystanders and wasn't much better for the shooter. That brake, combined with some old Peltor Tac6 electronic ear pro is the reason I have to say "what was that?" so much.

    Yes. Almost like there's 3 positions now with a distinct position between safe and fire.

    New Sig CROSS

    My trigger was what I would consider very good before the recall work. Other than the first stage take up, there was no perceptible movement before the very crisp break and only a tiny amount of overtravel. I did not adjust the trigger at all before my initial use of the rifle. Since I got it...

    New Sig CROSS

    Got mine back today. They fixed the play in the stock (it was fairly minor but noticeable). Locks up tight now. Trigger is not as nice as it was but maybe it's safe now. Seems like more overtravel and not quite as light. Probably be a couple of weeks before I get to the range.

    New Sig CROSS

    You'll have to grab one. No Mlok attachments were in my box. Added an Mlok stud for my bipod and a QD sling attachment point on the side of the rail (both magpul).

    Wanted that one too but couldn't help myself. Lol. If this thing works out like I think it's going to, I'm gonna "ugly camo" it myself.

    New Sig CROSS

    Pretty impressed so far. Picked up on Thursday and put rounds down range yesterday. Only had 10 rounds of factory Hornady 140 ELD's but they went into half-inch and 5/8 inch 5-shot groups. Played around with some home-rolled 123 gr Noslers over Staball 6.5 and had a couple of half inch 3-shot...

    New Sig CROSS

    Got an email from Sportsman's Warehouse that said my Creedmoor (ordered 8/21) is on the way to my local store. Hoping to have it by the weekend! Got the 550 all set up and ready to roll.

    Predator gun

    My experiences are very similar. Of course, yote hunting in the southeast is generally a close range affair. My present coyote gun is a CLE Krieger barreled 13.9 inch pistol sporting an SBA3 brace and a 1-8 Nightforce NX8.
