    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    I took mu newly mounted 2-12 out to zero yesterday. The below photo isn't great, but it does show that the fine reticle might get lost a bit on the shoot and sees. But it was still usable. The illumination sorta helped, ish. I know the scope isn't necessarily designed for shooting groups...

    KAK Down venting BCG

    I just put a chrome, down-vent carrier in a 8" 300 blk pistol. I shot about 50 rounds of 200 Winchester and 220 Fioochi--most with the Ventum and a few with a Nomad30. While the Nomad30 was noticeably more quiet, as a lefty-long gun user, there was more gas and particulate in my face. With...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

    I have a few different Staccatos and recently a Platypus. They both shoot nicely. Both are accurate. (I have the 4.25 bull barrel Platypus). Both fit in my Hammer Armament holsters for the P I really like the Platy's grip--I got the newer, more aggressive texture. Its very good, and feels...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    At the moment, no. I decided that the holdovers were--at least to my eyes--much too subtle. Not unusable, but close enough. Especially when compared to the very-similar-but-not-100%-identicle reticle in the 1.5-15. Currently, March has the scope to put the 1.5-15--with its more solid...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    Bugholes, an RO at an indoor range "lent" me their fan, which was very effective, but too large and is what got the wondering about a pocket fan. I have a few different heat resistant wraps, mitts, cover, etc, and do use them. But seem to end a range session shooting suppressed and then...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    I went to the range to try do a comparison between a recently received PTR Vent 2 and DA Mojave, but instead, I got caught up figuring out which host I liked more: a DIY CMMG radial delayed upper and a MEAN Arms upper. (Turns out, at least this trip, the CMMG...) Anyway, I'm curious if anyone...

    KAK Down venting BCG

    I have one that I tried out when I was zeroing a scope. I did notice less gas in face--lefty rifle shooter. I was shooting either unsuppressed or flow-through can. My impression when I got home was there was a bit more schmutz that wiped out of the mag well, but its possible it was on par...

    Left handed AR for my son - looking at Stag Arms

    I'm also one of those who shoots lefty, and while I don't mind the brass (and all of my uppers are righty), I think keeping the gas--especially if suppressed--out of his face is a worthwhile reason. Of course, him saying "I don't like the brass" is a good reason too... If he ends up loving...

    Staccato P DSC Gunworks Barrel

    I recently installed a DSC Gunwork (threaded & fluted in PVD copper) drop-in barrel in my Staccato P. I bought it because I wanted a threaded barrel on which to mount a suppressor, or maybe a mini comp if the mood strikes. While it only has about 200 rounds--primarily Federal American...

    Any recent data on noveske 12.5 ss barrels?

    No worries, I didn't read it that way.

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Somewhere mid page has some of my thoughts on the March.. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/best-high-magnification-lpvo-for-my-use-case.7222277/#post-11633478 I like the March, and more than I thought I would when I first turned on the illumination and looked through it. For my...

    Wanting to build 16" Recce but hung up on barrel choice

    I also have and like V7 stuff. Amongst the collection... I have a 8.5" 300 though I "had" to send to D Wilson to open up the gas port a bit as it was a bit too temperamental for my ammo selection. I also undid the lightweight nature of it by putting on an Adams Arms piston kit (the gas port...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    I have one, though aside from basement pew-pewing and a few hours doing basic, up to 20 yard shooting, haven't really pushed it. Within that narrow scope--no pun intended--any particular questions?

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    I think the budget takes this out of the running, but It is--otherwise--an interesting option. The 34mm tube and heft gives it ATACR feeling in NX8 length. It is easier to be behind than the NX8, though Ive not spent enough time at various non-1x magnification to compare to the upper zoom...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    Id agree with that, with the 3 that I have had. The first was meh (although it could have been that I never quite got the ocular set up right; I did send it in and NF checked it out as within spec), while the 2 capped, DMx versions have been much better... You say the current 2.5-20 are...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    👍 I will say that if you go from looking through the NX8 to looking through the ATACR (or many others listed), you will "see" some of the limitations many have commented on. A sort of "looker's remorse," maybe. That said, if you work on the reps, find the right mount (I like 1.7" but have...

    Rifle Scopes Best High-Magnification LPVO for my use case?

    For those of you commenting about not liking that the ATACR's ocular piece moves, NF sells an extended lever that makes it a bit easier to rotate the zoom if youre just leveraging the lever. I also prefer just the zoom ring to move, and the longer lever helps. OP, if "bright reticle" is that...
