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!
Also use the Athlon Ares. Had the G1. Wind blew tripod over and mag ring stopped working. Sent in for warranty and had a brand new Ares G2 in my hands within two weeks. Now use the 22x reticle and works great for hunting/shooting steel out to 600. Elk hunts I switch to the 15-45 reticle. 5 years...
Sample size of 1 here, but I went from a 16 in carbine system to a proof 20” +2 CAMGAS and it is freaking smooth. 6.5cm with adj gas block, running suppressed. Recoil is less to me than a lot of overgassed 556 I’ve encountered.
If short and light is priority, I’m really digging my SWFA 2.5-10 ultralight so far. Have an RMR offset on it as well. Glass is meh/good enough and needs a sunshade, but tracking great and reticle matches very well for my 11.5 556 AR. Only limited use so far but gonna run it this hunting season...
Geez us. I’m an old fart and fucking hate technology but even I know you have to tag him for it to show up in his feed. @TheHorta he’s beckoning you…
Or you can say “Horta” three times in a row while dancing in a circle and summon him that way.
I’ve killed a LOT of pigs with NVGs over the years. Your question totally depends on setup. If using a clip on device shooting 300+ then absolutely not. If doing what I do, getting in close (30-50m), and engaging sounder as they run off out to 300m or so, then absolute yes. I run a DBAL D2 that...
Received the SWFA yesterday and mounted it, but will be a few weeks until I can put through its paces on steel to 600. Initial impressions:
1. LIGHT! Holy crap is it lightweight. Noticeably lighter setup than with the PA SLX 1-6.
2. Turrets seem pretty decent for price. Not a lot of purchase...
I’ve got a SWFA SS 2.5-10 ultralight finally on the way after about 4 months on back order. Hoping to test out this weekend for a similar role you’re describing. Can let you know how it works with an offset RMR. Not expecting glass to be spectacular but hoping it’s good enough for shots with my...
Use mine with a USO B17 with H102 reticle and love it.
What illuminator are you running? Put a Luna on mine and can count antlers on deer (not shooting them, just observing) at 1000m on 17x mag.
Hunting buddy and I both built lightweight 6.5 CM using 16” gunner profile barrels. Mine was 1MOA, his was 1.5. Different receiver types so could have been part of the difference. Worked well enough for our purposes, but have since switched to 20” proof CF to try and get more velocity.
Best...
I’ve been very happy with my Kuiu Chugach rain gear. Expensive, but has been worth every penny when I needed it. Has held up well over the past 7 years of intermittent use. You can watch their outlet web site for occasional deals.
