    Tripods and accuracy

    While sub-moa groups are very possible from the standing position shooting from a tripod, clipped-in or off a bag (with off a heavy bag being on average more accurate and more precise but clipped-in having lots of benefits for field use), sub-moa accuracy (vs sub-moa precision) is certainly not...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    Shot under nods last night and having the red dot offset wasn't an issue but I think I might get the taller plate so the offset mount is more like a 1.93" (it's a 1.5" now). When my presentation was perfect, the dot was right there but my presentation wasn't always perfect, granted I was using a...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    I find the offset red dot to be easier to get behind because your cheek weld is basically the same, the rifle is just canted. With a piggyback setup, you need to train for a chin weld. Just doesn't work as well for me. If the offset doesn't work well with NV, I'll go to piggyback and train for...

    300 Norma is it really worth it?

    Yeah, if I recall Viht use a relatively short OAL. I called Capstone when I got my norma and used their load data. I'm running 90.4gr N570 behind a 220LRHT and I'm a ways off the max they gave me. Gives me 3180 out of a 29.5" barrel. thing is a laser beam.

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    -The G3 and the PST 2-10 are both better than the SMRS at resolving hidden targets as they are both better/clearer at 10x than the SMRS is at 8.5x. The PST might actually be clearer than the G3 at 10x but I need to spend some more time behind them side by side to decide. It wouldn't surprise me...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    Yeah, that sounds like a pretty ideal scope for an AR. Was it FFP? I'd love to see something in a 2-10 with locking turrets (like the LRTSi) or locking elevation and capped windage (like the LHT 4.5-22) with a simple, illuminated reticle (like the PST gen 2) but as light (or lighter) than the...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    You're not wrong in that a 3-12/15/18 might be a better fit, to be honest. For comparison's sake, the PST 3-15 is about 2oz heavier and 1.5" longer. I've got a ton of experience on 3-12 Bushy Elite LRTSis (still have one on a 6.5 gasser) and honestly think they're an almost perfect gas gun...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    I live in the mountains with lots of foliage as well (PNW) so possibly a similar use case. I also have a Bushy Elite 1-8.5 SMRS for comparison. The 10x on the Razor g3 and PST is much better for PID and just resolving hidden targets than 8.5x (although I've also shot with the SMRS out to my 625...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    I've actually been comparing a Razor Gen 3 1-10 to a PST Gen 2 2-10 on 2 similar gas guns lately (both with offset red dots for night shooting). To me, which optic (or optic type:LPVO vs MPVO) you use is really a matter of how you want to bias the use of your carbine. For more of a GP rifle...

    Precision Rifle Gear Badger LOW PROFILE HARRIS MOUNT (LPHM)

    RRS makes a similar adapter but it uses a twist knob (instead of 2 hex screws) and works for both arca and pic rail. I've got a couple Harris with them and they work and hold up well.

    Instinct® 2X Solar - Tactical Edition AB Unlock Fee

    Yeah, that's kinda how I figured you'd get around that. I'm tempted to get the new Instinct solar to try out with AB as I was gonna get it to replace my old (non-solar) Instinct when it dies but it just keeps on trucking, haha. I also need a new GPS nav tool so might get the 901 for that. I'm...

    Instinct® 2X Solar - Tactical Edition AB Unlock Fee

    I figured it might. The issue with the watch pulling the environmentals is that getting an accurate ambient temp reading from a watch has always involved having to take it off for a while as your body temp skews the reading, at least in my experience.

    Sig Kilo 3000 vs Vortex Fury 5000 AB

    I've got Sig K3000 and Vortex Fury 5000AB. I use the Vortex all the time now, haven't used the Sigs in a long while. I'll have to compare the glass side by side to see if I actually prefer one to the other but for my eyes, they both work. Not "alpha" glass but plenty good for my uses (hunting...

    Spotters Bullet trace, how far can you see it?

    You can see trace out as far as the bullet can go although oftentimes what limits you is the backdrop you're shooting towards. At my long range spot, it's no problem to watch my buddy's trace (with my spotter setup behind him) out to my 940yd target. The next closest one, however, is at 1500yds...

    223 Tac Division Build

    25gr of Varget or 23.6gr of 8208 with 75 ELDMs (or 75 BTHPs for practice) at 1.955" BTO has given me 2900+ fps in 3 or so 26" 7tw .223 barrels now with no issues. Feed great from MDT poly or metal mags.

    Razor LHT vs. Mark5HD for hunting

    I have a 4.5-22 on my hunting rifle and quite like it. Good glass, great reticle, illum makes it usable on low mag. The turrets aren't great but do their job, it tracks well, put a throw lever on the mag ring as well. No experience with the 3.6-18 but tons on the 5-25s (which are nice scopes)...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I'd double check to be sure, it'll be pretty close. I'm getting an ACC Premier chopped down a bit to go with this setup: Rem 700 with 18" Hawkhill heavy palma 6.5 Creed barrel done up by Insite Arms. My go to load (140gr ELDM with 42.0gr H4350 in Hornady case at 2.200" BTO) is moving 2670fps...

    223/for distance

    Yeah, 600 and in, they're great, I find. It's nice to have a common load between my .223 trainer barrel and my carbine (for longer range stuff) as well. You can squeeze more performance outta them loaded long (which I used to do) but I'm lazy and like having common loads so now I load em to AR...

    223/for distance

    I'm currently on my 3rd .223 barrel on one of my rigs and they've all been 26" 7tw barrels. It's easy to get 2900fps+ using Varget or 8208 with the 75s and with the ELDMs, that gives you really good ballistic performance. If you're mostly shooting out to 300 yards, I'd just use the 75gr BTHPs as...
