    Anything better for me than a 6.5 Grendel in the AR-15 platform?

    Long time Grendel dork and admin of the big Grendel group on FB, which also covers .224v and 6 arc. It's a really great round but I recommend a rifle-length gas system and a good mag, like Amend2, or E-lander, and don't expect to fill the mag all the way up (save the 10rd Amend2 as they are...

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    Yeah, he's really kind of smug and dismissive in his videos. And the lack of detail just makes it more suspicious. You would think he would list out load info, atmospherics, specifics about the rifle, chamber, trigger, optics, etc... but nothing, just a showoff video. There is this jem also.

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    It's got to be hard to even see a can that size at over 1.3 miles, probably looks like a spec of dust... hitting it would only be by accident. :p

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    I've watched a couple of his videos, something just seems off about this guy. Waaaay too defensive and lacking any modesty of the great shooters I know.

    What rifle and optic (if any) are recruits training with in USMC boot camp?

    I'm only a member of the chairborne forces but have been running ACOGs for 20 years (probably had 9 and still own 3) and it seems to me like I could more easily damage the rifle than the optic. :)

    Yeah, but you ever had an Acog fail? lol

    What rifle and optic (if any) are recruits training with in USMC boot camp?

    It looks like they are using a M16-A4 with a 4x ACOG, is that still the case? Thanks.

    Talk me out of an Arken EP5 5-25X56mm FFP MIL VPR for my son

    yeah, I mean, $340 shipped with a mount, flips, and throw lever is really a no-brainer for a beginner. 20 years ago, I started with an SWFA 10x side focus on the very savage .308 I'm giving him.

    Talk me out of an Arken EP5 5-25X56mm FFP MIL VPR for my son

    All the reviews I've seen of the 4-16, especially showing the glass at long distance, are unanimous in saying it punches WAY above it's weight class. Is this the best optic I own, no. Is it a steal for the money, absolutely. For $340 shipped with glass this bright and clear, as well as a mount...

    The 4-16 is a better image to the eyes from what I've read. I have a friend here in Austin that lives an hour away with a 5-25 so we will head to the range soon and compare them.

    I've looked through a lot of strike eagle and, for the most part, I think it's shit. Sorry. I'm glad I went with the 4-16, as I've always noticed people using too much magnification, and was tempted... but I avoided the temptation and it paid off big time. And I've sent tens of thousands of...

    No, because you put parenthesis around it.

    Ok, just for an update here. I purchased the SH4 GEN2 4-16X50mm FFP MIL VPR. https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/sh4-gen2-4-16x50mm-ffp-mil-vpr And, I've got to say, I'm astounded by what you get for the money. This is nothing short of shocking. Honestly, if I were blindfolded, and you put this in...

    Yeah, I noticed that. It makes even more sense considering I only paid $425 for the rifle 22 years ago, 3 years before he was born lol.

    I dont have a problem with China except for their electronics and software that spy on us. For hardware, it is what it is.

    I have my old .308 savage and want to give it to him with an optic and don't think I can go wrong in the price range, but do not know anyone personally that has shot one. I've only read reviews and seen youtube vids. Does anyone here have experience with one...
