    Watches?

    Bathyscaphe. Really simple clean black dial. 120 hrs of power reserve. Sapphire case back. on a sail cloth strap, which is super comfortable. Wearing it right now. :) Sorry don't really do pics.

    Watches?

    I'm kind of a watch nerd as well. And I particularly like Divers, although I haven't lead nearly as interesting a life as vno.helix and don't have the kind of lifestyle where a watch with a 300 meter depth rating is ever going to be necessary. Also, kind of anti-Rolex for exactly the same...

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

    Thank you for the update guys. I got mine in shortly after RKM556 (end of the day last Tuesday), so I assume it will take a couple of more days, but hopefully it will go through. Shoreglide - yes, they are fast to get order into order team, but it looks like it then takes about 10 days to 2...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    First, Milrad, thank you for taking the time to perform these tests and share your results. And I agree, they do seem to contradict conventional wisdom - based on what I've read on various forums, several tests I am aware of, and my own admittedly anecdotal experience. Starting with my own...

    Great. I also have no problem waiting a couple of weeks. Thanks for the update.

    Another LPVO thread

    Like to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions which were helpful. After a lot of deliberation I ended up getting the Primary Arms 1-8x with the Nova SFP reticle. Thought long and hard about either the Eotech or the Trijicon, both of which also sound like great scopes. At the end...

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

    RKM556, bf2junky and anyone else that ordered through Bruiser, if you get charged for your scope or have any updates please post. I put my order in on Tuesday, so I think I'm behind you and so far nothing but crickets. I'm certainly willing to wait a couple of more days or even a couple of...

    OP here. Still haven't pulled the trigger on a scope. Was out of state for the last 2 months, so it didn't make sense. Right now I'm really looking at the Primary Arms PLC 1-8x with the Nova reticle. Avoids the chevron, which I'm not a fan of, and the daylight bright dot is a big plus...

    First AR15

    Both BCM and DD make excellent rifles. In my experience I would say DD will be a little more accurate and should have a longer barrel life. But as others have said, if you don't shoot a lot it will take you many years to wear out a barrel, and if you do shoot a lot barrels should be treated as...

    So 2,000 Euro for the PLx C where you are? In the states they retail for $1,500, but if you are even a little patient you can get some kind of a coupon code from PA that brings them down to $1,200-1,300. I have no personal experience with the Kahles, but I think it's generally considered a top...

    Sub MOA AR 15

    OP - Should be pretty clear from some of the answers you're getting that assembling a sub MOA rifle is doable. However, whether YOU are capable of assembling a rifle and then getting sub MOA results is a different question. Not trying to be insulting here, but simply putting together a list of...

    Sub MOA AR 15

    Sure. WOA or Craddock Precision barrel and a Geissele trigger and you're halfway there. Hell, for under $700 you can buy a complete Rock River Arms NM upper. With the right ammo mine is absolutely capable of 5 shot sub MOA groups. A very underrated upper.

    Marex, this is kind of where I am right now. I'm really liking the Eotech 1-10x. A little extra magnification is always a plus. Confident the glass and construction will be excellent. Like the reticle. I'm coming around to FFP being useful. As I said in my original post, I anticipate 75%...

    Another LPVO thread

    W54/xm-388 - Thank you. Your comments are very helpful. Yes, I know the difference between PLX and cheaper models. Really looking at the PLX, which retail for $1,500 and are made in Japan. PA is selling these for full retail right now, but with bonus bucks on some models - which I can use to...

    Another LPVO thread

    Alright guys, you've given me a lot to think about. That 1-10x Eotech looks very interesting. I can find one under my $1,500 budget. It seems reasonably light. An extra 2x would be nice if it doesn't compromise quality of glass, add a ton of weight or create issues on 1x. I'm liking the...

    Another LPVO thread

    Yes, another LPVO thread. It's just that I'm kind of overwhelmed with the possible choices. Intended use - recently purchased a Noveske Afghan upper with a 14.5" stainless upper. I already have a couple of SBR's with red dots and a 18" CLE upper with a 24x scope that's dedicated to long range...

    Left handed AR for my son - looking at Stag Arms

    I'm kind of with KTM on this one. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I was taught to shoot left handed starting at about 12, so just a little older than your son. Like it or not, it's a right handed world. I've been shooting AR's, AK's, FAL's, pump action and semi-auto shotguns, PCC's...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    IDK - I've probably shot 3-400 rounds of AAC 77gr SMK and a similar amount of their 75gr. ammo out of a variety of AR's. Don't think I've had a single issue. Yesterday shot about 60 rounds of the 75gr. stuff that I think I picked up for .55/rd out of my Sig 516 with a Primary Arms 4x scope...

    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    I know it's hard to believe, but you're right, I haven't read every thread in every sub-forum. In fact, I almost never visit the Bear Pit - even though it means depriving myself of the 87 page NOM NOM NOM thread. But I stand by my original post - if I want advice on a long range scope it makes...

    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    Look at Damasko (if bought used will be slightly over your budget) Seiko Orange Monster or Black Monster. It will be more money but a used Omega Seamaster would also fit the bill. Funny OP wants to stay under $1,000 and multiple people recommend a Rolex Sea Dweller.:ROFLMAO: Basically 9-12...
