New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
Major difference is the Military is made in Germany. Supposedly the same glass, with conflicting reports. Doesn’t necessarily equate to same performance wise. Some like the T-series turrets better than the M-series. I actually like the M turrets and the second rev curtain is a nice feature...
If blocking the left eye improves the vision, he would be right eye dominant, correct? Sounds to me like you need to adjust your position and eye relief a bit.
Makes it much easier to adjust the mag ring with speed, if that’s what you’re after?
Personally, I like the ones made by Aadland (Aadmount) or you can buy a generic cheaper version from MK machining. There are other manufactures too of course, to include one from S&B themselves.
Osu92,
Since you have first hand experience with the Mark5, tell us how it differs from the Mark6 or even Mark8? Unsure which scope you used? Was it the new Mark5 18x or 25x? Let us know how it was, thanks!

Leupold needs to be clear of wheat the heck the difference is between their scopes? What makes this one so special or different, besides 1mm on the tube? I agree, another swing and a miss.... besides the pricing between the Mark 6 & 8 lines.
Yes, it works good if you have a mount with plenty of clearance between the base and scope. Feeler gauges do the exact same thing, just a bit more involved getting the correct “stack”. However, it works better for tighter clearances.
Sam’’s Club sells a two pack of the Zeiss lens cleaner in a spray bottle. Its in the eye glass/prescription section. Then get yourself a quality microfiber.
I have also heard the same with qualifying on ACOG and not iron sights in the “new” Corps. IMO, that is absurd and I was trying to dismiss that as false information. Sure hope they change this ridiculous behavior and get back on track to being the best trained military unit in the world.
As...
I was a prior military dog handler. Hence, my name EDDK9 (explosive detector dog K9). Unless things have changed, you do not come from basic as a dog handler. Her MOS will be an MP and then she will need to work her ass to get into K9. That’s where shooting “expert” and her PT scores come into...
She needs to qualify with iron sights first, learn the basics, then learn the ACOG. ACOG is pretty fool proof.
Learn the fundamentals first, get her trigger control on par and breathing down, and everything else will fall in place.
