    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    1a. I wonder if the steel KRG rail bolted to the handguard makes for a stiffer upper? Obviously the issue we are all seeing is the area around the barrel nut, but I am curious if a steel ARCA rail aids in less POI shift. 1b. Does anyone have the means to test this? Do a normal test without the...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I feel like this specific RD rifle and the NF 416 ATACR are meant to go together.

    I am definitely interested in that test result.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    I was just about to ask if anyone had experience with this on the M4E1 upper. .1 mil shift would probably get lost in the noise of my group size as I'm not shooting .36" groups. Good to know, definitely considering one of their enhanced uppers.

    AR Positional POI Shift Test

    Nice to see the post here from IG. Here is anofher data poinf. Vltor MUR/WOA TR handguard with a .4mil shift low. Note: the bottom group was centered due to holding .4mils in the reticle. Top group is bipod/rear bag. Middle is tripod standing/kneeling/sitting off a table/bag. Bottom is the...

    Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

    Could've been a slow barrel. 12.5" midlength from Triarc. But IMI is still showing slower velocities in the current barrel.

    Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

    Interesting results, my IMI 77 SMK was slower than AAC 77 OTM and produced a higher ES/SD. Accuracy is around the same. Barrel is a Black River Tactical 16” CHF Optimum. My older results with the AAC 75 BTHP was not awesome, the 77SMK appears to be a more consistently performing bullet. IMI 77...

    Ridgeline just had a good live on IG. Looks like they saved it on the page. Bunch of good info in it if you have the time to listen.

    Help... First custom bolt gun

    I recommend PVA based on what I read and my singular personal experience with them. Yes, SH has some historical dirt on PVA… and a number of other companies here and there. I’d still confidently buy a barrel from them. If something is wrong with it, it’ll get fixed. Would rather not get in a...

    Help... First custom bolt gun

    Also want to give a big +1 for Josh and PVA. I made a wedding band out of 5160 spring steel stock and needed it coated, preferably in DLC for a durable, dark finish. I called around a few shops and finally spoke to Josh personally. I explained what I needed done and he said he could do it. I...

    Which 2-10 for me?

    You should definitely do a full write up when you receive it, not a ton out there on these.

    Which 2-10 for me?

    So, the illuminated TMR’s main stadia is .10 mil thick. The non-illuminated TMR is .05 mil thick. Most precision reticles such as the PR2/3, Mil-XT, etc are .04-.03 mil thick. The SCR seen in the Steiner T5xi 3-15 I had was .05 mil and seemed just fine. Something to consider if all you’ve seen...

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

    The H6xi appears to have the same turrets found on the T6xi 1-6. Good turrets and very low profile with an idiot proof zero stop. That said, make sure the screws are tightened down properly, I had one or two times the elevation turret slipped on me, or missed a click when dialing.

    Zco lpvo???

    I believe it is that the overall dimensions of the 3.6-18x44 (and 4-16x42 ATACR) compared to the Leupold/ZCO 2-10x30 that make the 2-10 optics superior in a general purpose role. The added bulk (not weight) of the 3.6-18/4-16 simply makes it not as “handy”. The 2-10s are both shorter and slimmer...

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

    Telling you right now, I’d pay $1500 for an updated NF 2.5-10x32 with a parallax adjustment and an FFP Mil-C/R or F -DMX reticle. Same body. I’d pay 2k for a modified VCOG built to my specs. I’d pay 1k for a modified TA02 ACOG. But they’ll never build these so 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Considering July is the anticipated release time, thats about average for a large manufacturer. Stuff moves slow. How many times do we see XYZ trinket announced at SHOT that is slated for a “Q3/Q3 release”? Building a prototype and actually releasing to market is two separate things.

    I think the 10mil thing is for the aesthetics. Personally, heavier lines ending at 5mil from center, and 10mil low would work better in a 2-12ish. But I’m not the one being paid to design a reticle. I’d do it for free if asked, just give me one of the production models. Still hopeful for the...
