    USSOCOM Selects Nightforce for Ranging – Variable Power Scope Program to Equip Semi-Automatic Sniper Weapon Systems

    https://soldiersystems.net/2021/06/10/ussocom-selects-nightforce-for-ranging-variable-power-scope-program-to-equip-semi-automatic-sniper-weapon-systems/ Elevation turret seems different than the standard ATACR, anyone know what else is different in these? (Just idle curiosity on my part.)

    I do. Further than ideal, which is why getting moving before the crowd is important.

    Still waiting for @TheGerman to come in here and suggest how best to eat people. Or something like that.

    Well, now that cannibalism has been brought into the conversation I would again like to remind folks the point was to talk about kit. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the wisdom here, I really do. And, as my SERE cadre used to say "everyone is only 72 hours away from killing their...

    I can see how my description was unclear - I meant moving on foot only when we can't get out via car and only in a rural area.

    Thanks all for the inputs. I hadn't intended for this to evolve into a preparation discussion but excellent points being made. Unfortunately for me the prospect of bugging in is not terribly feasible. I live in a modern design (lots of windows) duplex in the centre of a metropolitan area. There...

    You thinking I’m the recently departed vendor of optical gadgetry? I wish I had his money - I’d burn mine!

    Thanks all for the input. Dual 14s and a thermal scanner are on the menu! Now to determine which of my kidneys is more attractive on the open market.

    Yeah, I'm an idiot. Changed the post. Meant, will be unable to see at night without NV. I do really want to try thermal, but handheld VS weapon sight has me leaning the latter.

    My bad - didn't mean LITERALLY blind. Appreciate the input. Wife thinks the world is a nicer place than I do, so I suspect she won't see the appeal of NV. But it's worth a go.

    We have reasonable provisions but are located in the centre of a metropolitan area, so once everyone around us starts running low on food and water it's not ideal to be the one place that isn't. Bugging in is not ideal because the home is indefensible. After three or four days if the water is...

    Respectfully I'm not sure that it's not within the realm of reason. Where I am we've had blackouts lasting days and weeks (once each) in the last decade or so. We've also had a tornado touchdown very close to the metropolitan centre of town. Both situations could easily turn into medium scale...
