    Not sure if this includes the RMR as well, but if so, I will take the setup.

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

    I'm not a fan of the tango, although I haven't handled any yet. I do not want to deal with dicking around to link atmospherics from some other system to a weapon mounted rangefinder. That's the whole point. Make this a simple system where you can arrange a Target and be done. I don't want to...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I had that issue with the 75s, 80s, and 88s. I am going to try another 100 of the 80s and then switch. I found that the barrel does not like being fouled. Within 80-100 rounds, accuracy went from a 10x round .4” group to 1” groups. Few wipes with the C4 carbon and patches and it dropped back...

    The Luna ELIR is nice because it has a the ability to adjust output. I don't know how high they are recoil rated to, but most avoid weapon mounting and run on a spotting setup. Shooting with a buddy who has a setup as well who can throw IR from their rifle while you shoot is super helpful...

    That is an awesome looking rifle. I would be tempted to give the diving board a shot. Worst case you might end up putting a laser rangefinder on it anyways. The D2 is probably a better option for distance than the kiji 3. I have one of those and have largely been disappointed. The illumination...

    I think either a pvs30 or pvs27 would be a good choice. They weigh the same and have similar performance. The diving board on top can be tough for IR. It's closer to manipulate so thats nice. But if it's cooler out or conditions are right, gas vents up from the can and will bloom the IR and...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Great to hear! My dad had some similar issues with Starline 223 and they took care of him. I'm running Winchester and have some spare Lapua and a buddy is running lake City. Some of the Winchester has 10+ firings and while a few split necks and have loose primer pockets, they are still going...

    That's a good point, my only take on that system from afar as someone who hasn't used it is that it ends up being dedicated to a single rifle. So you can't swap it between others without having to basically re-zero. It's also pretty chunky.

    A used green tubed PVS 27 or PVS30 will range from $4000-$5000. I paid $3800 for my first PVS27 in 2021. 99% of green tubes are factory and recoil rated higher. A white tubed factory unit going to go for closer to $6500-$8000. I think I got $6500 for my factory L3 CNVD-LR with an L3 unfilled...

    I wouldn't pay $13K for a new Pvs30. They can regularly be found here for much less. Also, while white units are awesome, at that distance you will definitely need IR and it will make a green vs white tune much more even. I went through a few PVS30 units and found my way back to a PVS27. Its...

    I have shot out to 800 and 1100yds with a stellar pvs30 with a factory built L3 unfilled tube. I can tell you that even with full power IR, identify steel is hard. Doable at 800 in the right conditions. Really hard at 1100yds. Seeing misses and splashes is almost impossible unless you are...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Yes, I am running that setup. I run them in a milspec pvs14 pouch. Both fit in on the bridge fine together. I am not attaching to my chest right though. It would be too large for the spiritual fanny pouch that hangs beneath my chest right, at least on the bridge. Candidly that setup is either...

    223 Ackley Improved

    To me that looks like those cases are about to split in half. Usually the separation is farther down towards the case head, but I have had rounds split here after a bunch of higher pressure firings. I'd send those to Starline and ask for a fresh batch.

    Anyone here using the Hornady A tip bullets? (.308)

    I'm shooting the 230gr A Tip in a 300PRC. I found that a moderate speed with .100" of jump grouped sub half MOA with single digit SDs in new brass. From what I read online, they liked more jump than an ELDM so I started at .100" and they shot well enough to leave it alone.

    Night Vision Luna vs FP15 or similar

    They scale the power so it reduces as the beam tightens at distance. Still might be worth trying. I have been using a FP DBAL A2 for a few years. Slightly cleaner than a PEQ15 but still not great. My buddy has an NGAL and a FP VCSEL is so much easier to spot trace with.
