    Scope recommendations for Barrett M107A1..!!

    So a good friend of mine just bought a Barrett M107A1 and is asking for scope recommendations. This person is a lifelong hunter but is not a long range shooter. This was definitely "this is badass buy". The goals are to shoot some steel and maybe some pigs out to 600 as well as being prepared...

    Daniel Defense .........Which scope would you recommend?

    https://www.eurooptic.com/C543-NF-Nightforce-ATACR-4-16x50-F2-ZeroStop-1mrad-DigIllum-.aspx I personally like the 4x16 42mm myself but if you already have a 50mm you are used to you may prefer that.

    It was the magazine causing the malfunctions.....

    Yes that was just a result of normal wear and tear. And as a side note it was not used super hard. That rifle setup is my thermal night hunting gun and with the thermal being so expensive i baby it lol. I am much harder on my other guns, mags ect.

    It was the magazine causing the malfunctions.....

    I posted a few weeks ago about my Daniel Defense Ar-10 .308 having malfunctions and suspected a mag issue. After close inspection i noted some wear on the Pmag. I switched to a Lancer and have had no issues since.

    Headshot....Argument for a LPVO???......real life example....

    I know the debate about LPVO vs. Red dot are endless with some valid arguments on both sides. I was wondering if the enhanced ability to take a headshot would be a consideration for some in going with a LPVO. I am a fan of the LPVO for the versatility. Here is a real world example. At the 3:04...

    "Bigger Objective Lenses Don't Gather More Light and Heres a Test that proves it." article...

    Theis, I understand what you saying so lets fast forward to today. If i ordered a brand new Nightforce ACTAR 4-16 by 42mm and a 4-16x50 mm ACTAR what is the extra 8mm objective lens on the 50mm giving me? I may not be using the terms "light gathering" or "twilight utilization" so I apologize...

    Thanks for everyone who has chimed in on this especially the author of the article. My curiosity on this issue stems from a post from Terry Cross in 2018 then i was further intrigued by this article. He quotes someone in the know stating that the 50 mm ACTAR is longer and heavier all to provide...

    Several have posted that this is a dead horse and almost silly to ask the question as its been settled. I would still like to read his article. Regardless, Could someone help me quantify then? Take a nightforce 4-16x42 or a 4-16x50 same class same coatings. How much more "light gathering am...
