    Mounts: QD or Regular for return to zero?

    All I know of now are adjustable for rail tension. Most come with neat wrenches even. QD mounts are RTZ only on the gun, and position on the rail, where they left. But are very good IME. I don't usually bother with QD on precision rifles as they add a tiny bit of weight and snag, there's...

    Abel Company - Theorem Titanium Supressor!

    Seeing the title I thought you must really be on to something, alloying Th with Ti but no, just reading problems.

    It isn't like there's any instructions. Took me a minute to figure out what they intended also. And yes, I took the time to align the little scallops with the ring on all mine also :) Which also reminds me: I am trying the low profile caps and the small lever on the 1-6 for being carried much...

    Well dammit, now it's overcast so I can't prove it with photos but yes, agree, buying in winter it seemed bright enough. Super sunny yesterday so illum ran out of power. Still works.

    Finally used my 1-6x on other than range playing or drills. Put it on the 9 mm (radial delayed CMMG) upper for local club IDPA day. Didn't need the zooms really, but the more important part of LPVOs is their ability to work at 1x, fast. Works for that. Fast, reliable, easy to hit with and aim...

    Question on sales etiquette

    I won't mail stuff (at least dangerous stuff) to other addresses, very different names etc. Too much weird fraud stuff, but it rarely comes up to me. I will always (for forum sales etc, not talking eBay) only send to the address sent over PM. If the PP account has a different address: DNGAF. Not...

    Strelok now banned/sanctioned in the US.

    Sorry, forgot which action it was. Yeah... individuals are a hard one. Even selling on rights to stuff like this can be blocked.

    Strelok now banned/sanctioned in the US.

    Can anyone reference which sanction package this is a part of? Often the developer can work around these things, depends what the restriction is. I am unclear on which it is though.

    Night Vision Perst 4?

    Yes, there are chinese knockoffs of the PERST series. Careful. No. Not especially good. Remember these are not reverse engineered, not like say the early days of PCs when the clones were pretty much just as good as an IBM for half the price. These just look like the thing they copied, and emit...

    It's very much a bog standard newest style, high quality LPVO. A carbine/rifle optic, maybe DMR depending on your definitions, but not a precision scope per se. Reticle designed to be illuminated, for rapid shooting, more accuracy further out if you zoom, but only a handful of holds and very...

    As in photo above, yes. A specific question or just wondering generally?

    Ultimate long range soft case

    +1 on a lot of the comments. #1 is no value adde features. NO other pockets, etc. Friend (deployed but with spare money and time so stuff comes to my house) just got a couple cases and doing the best he can, WAY too heavy and full of floppy pockets. Have been trying them, as I shoot his guns...

    What does your shop charge for transfers?

    Market rate is good but also or mostly: do. The. Math. Figure out how much this costs you. How much time and what is your per-minute shop cost. If you don't know your hourly COST (then divide by 60) start there. LOTS of businesses screw up these cost analyses. It is why restaurants go out of...

    Strelok now banned/sanctioned in the US.

    While we're griping about reticles, I have to settle for the MSR-2 on the M5xi 5-25? Insulting! I need the T6xi 5-30 or I'll sue! Anyway, just with the latest update, I got this new feature: And denied it. This is an OS-provided dialog. The app is blocked at a low level from getting access...

    Strelok now banned/sanctioned in the US.

    This. The OS makers/store-distributors have little control over the device in your pocket. Once installed it is installed and NO they do not dig into the code and modify things. The app submitted to the store for review and distribution is packaged up, and quite hard to open up and edit (I never...

    Again maybe I am uninformed or unobservant, but I did quickly throw both guns over a rest and looked through them, the two reticles looked 100% identical, at least back and forth between at 18x. I'll try to recall to look harder some time.

    1-6 totally has a zero stop, just non-locking. Doesn't slide up and down, and single rotation I guess (at work, can't check, but no windows etc). So old school covers instead, but I've rarely had locking turrets so NBD, just glance to check for zero before firing. I did forget I had one oddity...

    I will try to pay more attention to this but my eyes are /awful/ so unlikely I can see as well as some of you :) Now, in the past I have been paid to do things like color correct photos for Hallmark, so I tend to see imperfections and I haven't seen anything that causes me concern when my eyes...

    The first step is admitting you have a problem. Oh no! Now I see the photo I can tell I haven't lined up the grooves on the change lever. Must fix that! I like the illum on the 1-6x. Haven't had to shoot into the sun on a glacier yet, but the outer ring is plenty bright and visible at 1x...

    No more Scout Snipers

    That's why I don't get this at all. Force Design 2030 is all about tiny numbers of rapidly deployed Marines out on distance and austere places doing: Force multiplier stuff Sneakily While gathering, and most of all disseminating, information To protect Cyber and Log stuff, in prep for heavy...
