    Central IL by chance?

    XM7 worries from the field.

    Being a Grendel fanatic, I know you know the "ideal" answer in a perfect world would be the "M" in Small (5.56)/Medium(6-6.5mm)/Large(6.8-8mm) IF we were to pick one universal do-all for rifle and LMG fielding. Given the level of training, most of the advantages are lost and soldier's load is...

    If you ever wanted to bullpup an AR…

    * AR18 that is...(and the least successful of ALL the AR18 offspring) But that's fucking sick regardless of service history(y)

    AI comp triggers?

    Any details on: - When they did it/what guns have the updated triggers - What they did - How to tell if one has an updated trigger?

    Reticle Design and our Disagreements

    The simple execution of the MLR (as a better version of the gen2 mildot) is something that should have lived on longer and been in more scopes. It should have been in the NF 2.5-10 series 2nd FP scopes. I asked Bracken back in the day if they could do a swap but wouldn't

    If you ever wanted to bullpup an AR…

    Though I think pretty much every bullpup sucks. I feel the initial teaching of AR15 manual of arms to a complete noob (at least in the LE space) kinda sucks and there are "simpler" guns that folks can learn (AND retain better) the manual of arms quicker. And with that the Steyr AUG has some...

    Reticle Design and our Disagreements

    My brain hates it; sad that it exists and the MLR is gone. It's a red flag to me that the ranging scale is a must. I can't process that it's 0.5mil (always have to look and make sure it's not a 1 mil) to the first gap though it looks like more. Then from the far end of the gap to the next...

    Reticle Design and our Disagreements

    The only time I've liked it is with ZCO to indicate where the .5 mil is and not clutter the 0.2 stadia. And with that, deliniates where 0.4 and 0.6 are without having to "code" the 0.2 mil stadia in different lengths a la the Gen 3xr. What baffles me more is when gaps are added to the x and y...

    Reticle Design and our Disagreements

    I don't think it's a coincidence that higher-level performers are walking away (or have stayed away) from more cluttered designs packed to the brim with various cheat code stadia (though useful when having to teach people quickly).

    Reticle Design and our Disagreements

    Agreed. The Tremor kids might not...but fuck 'em :p. Your description of your ideal reticle for the use described is pretty much 100% spot on with what I would request with the exception of #8 (but I understand your point). Every time I look at a new reticle, I pull up the PDF and give myself...

    Reticle Design and our Disagreements

    The funny thing is, we all "argue" on the minutiae but in reality, most of us who have taken the time to understand: What is "wanted" vs. what is "needed" vs. shedding what is "not needed/usable" ACTUALLY agree on nearly all core concepts. The sticking points are always where we are forced...

    XM7 worries from the field.

    Relax...LAV got this! https://soldiersystems.net/2025/09/27/the-caliber-cluster-by-lav/ But seriously though... In terms of large-scale individual service rifle fielding...have we every not fucked it up? The right rifle...at the right time...done right from the beginning?

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce MPVO????

    I would 100% be all for that or perhaps the wider parts of the 3,6,9 stadia that aren't visible on the higher mags could give me some bearing and a nice floating dot on what at the bottom end is fundamentally a #7fd reticle 2-4x Whether by design or not, the Steiner 2-12 mil has come the...

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce MPVO????

    Agreed, it's a wide class/concept spanning pretty much equally rooted in EVERY discipline where most other classes are anchored in one discipline (tactical, comp, hunting). Tough to please everyone but the core concepts are all there. IF they (the industry)can get the 12x out of 12 to not be...

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce MPVO????

    AT one time I would have said 3-12x was enough. After monkeying with the Steiner 2-12, it felt like a tease and I've changed my tune and if I'm going to look at anything over 10x (with optics like the ZCO and MK5), we gotta start 15-16x.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    Nuclear bright what? Center dot? Center crosshair? Whole reticle? With what should be a rather visible bottom end, how much you need from it unless you've got a mismatched reticle for the power range like the Steiner 2-12x Mil.

    S&B 1-8 scope value?

    OK, talk to me on the Duty with that eotech-ish reticle. It looks very clear but I'm very hesitant in it being the worst of both worlds for someone with astigmatism

    S&B 1-8 scope value?

    I now have my 2nd 210 mounted up and zeroed as of Sunday. That be a clue....;)
