    Short ar....somthing i can live without

    14.5 is my favorite, I do like them down to 10.5, but I don't care for anything shorter than that. I'm actually the opposite, I don't really see the appeal to anything over 16". I'd rather step up in cartridge than go long and heavy.

    LMT wins MRGG-A

    There really aren't that many proprietary parts on the LMT, barrel and barrel screws and plate? Virtually no handguards use "standard" barrel nuts. I suppose on the lower you have the ambi side mag release and bolt release. Both are good rifles, we are really splitting hairs here. The both...

    Optics Advice for AR-15

    I would not buy a LPVO for bench shooting. I have a bunch and I never shoot them from a bench. You'll be much more comfortable with a 3-15/4-16.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Agreed! I don't think less of people who enjoy other forms of shooting, or think they are "wrong", I just wanted illustrate that for other people, a light weight, mid magnification scope with red dot fills a role that other archetypes can't fulfill.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Have you ever used a 5-25x56 on a 14.5" carbine? It's pants on head retarded. It's honestly a bit much for a AR-10. The 3-18 or 4-16 class of scopes are quite nice for AR-10s. I really don't enjoy having a baseball bat on top of my rifle. I generally don't enjoy benchrest shooting with...

    Prism Scope Field of View

    The 4x acog has a fov of 36 feet at 100 yards which is more than most scopes at 4x. I don't think this is a problem with prisms, I'm sure ilya will see this thread and chime in with some facts.

    Hensoldt 3,5-26x56 vs PMII

    Sounds like a zco 4-20 would be perfect.

    Second focal plane. Kahles does not make a FFP LPVO at the moment.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Just another perspective... I like my SAI 1-6 and I like my NX8. There are things I dislike about both of them. I hate the "turrets" on the sai 6. The 1x isn't as true as the NX8 the NX8 that I have is flatter, has less edge distortion and has less mag at 1x. The SAI 6 has some serious...

    Which AR15 to keep?

    I'd keep the URGI. If that were a m4a1 with ris 2... If keep that. I agree with you about downsizing no need for a stable of rifles that don't get shot. I really only shoot 3 of my ARs... Why have a few that sit around and don't do anything? If you are a collector and these are iconic ars...

    SAI 10 1-10

    I prefer the SAI reticle to the fc-dmx. It's easier to use the SAI on 1x without illumination. I do like the floating dot in the fc-dmx more than the cross hair, but I prefer the rapid aiming feature to the horseshoe, overall, I think the SAI has a better reticle for a LPVO... But I don't use...

    Monolithic uppers coming from Icon Defense (former Mega Arms guys)

    That didn't come across right... I'm not trying to be a downer, I like mega and would gladly use them for a custom build, but in my mind, this doesn't make LMT obsolete. They target different markets IMO. The LMT is unique, but I can understand why someone would want a quality monolithic...

    Monolithic uppers coming from Icon Defense (former Mega Arms guys)

    I have a variety of mega builds, and while the quality/fit/finish is top notch, I prefer my variety of LMTs. If I had to downsize... I'd keep an MRP and a MWS and sell everything else, and I wouldn't miss the other stuff. LMT has enough design changes to stand out from the crowd. Same goes...
