    General Purpose Battle Rifle: KAC SR-25 14.5" ACC vs 16" APC

    I agree that 6.5G has certain advantages over 5.56 and .308, all things being equal. But things are not always equal. One factor I consider when selecting calibers is the availability of ammo in an extended SHTF scenario. I doubt 6.5G or even 6.5C will be widely available, so those guns become...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    The March 1-10 I owned had a very shallow DOF, so your parallax adjustments had to be spot on and, even then, objects in front and behind often were OOF. I

    Bought a S&B Short Dot Dual 1-8 MDR-T6

    Congratulations! I had this scope and loved so much about it—the glass, reticle, eye box, etc., are all superb. Nothing else compares. The only problem I encountered had to do with the diffractive illumination. For me, the red dot was bright so long as I was directly behind it. The brightness...

    Cheaper LVPO recommendations?

    Sorry for not being more specific. I was referring to my P4Xi with the P3TR reticle, which is very much daylight bright. Opinions vary about the newer G1 reticle, and they sometimes are on sale for less. When I purchased the P4Xi, the price was $450 and there was nothing comparable in its...

    Cheaper LVPO recommendations?

    Good decision! I have the P4xi and it has the brightest red dot, best glass, and most uncluttered reticle of any LPVO in its price range. It sits on one of my AR-15s. I have used it in competitions in the past. Just a couple of other options not mentioned above for those interested: 1. 1x red...

    Rifle Scopes "Best" LPVO

    Yeah, didn't want to name-drop, but Jeff G is the one who encouraged me to go with this set up. He and I shoot together regularly. He's a great guy and definitely knows what he's talking about. Highly recommend his MTS youtube channel.

    Rifle Scopes "Best" LPVO

    I posted in this thread last year on my quest to find the LPVO that works best for me. After trying almost all the leading candidates, I settled on the Vortex 1-10 Gen 3 with an offset 1x RMR on my AR-15. I don't mean to add to your anxiety, but recently I've been rethinking the need for an...

    Rifle Scopes "Best" LPVO

    In my quest for the "best LPVO" ;), I've owned about every high-end LPVO except NF. Here are my observations. YMMV. SB Dual CC: Best glass and turrets hands down. Two things I didn't like are (1) the diffractive red dot loses a lot of brightness unless you're directly behind it and (2) if your...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class Long Range Scope Review - TT, ZCO, Schmidt, March, Vortex

    Excellent review!! Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this. Just curious: Why no Minox ZP5 5-25 in the group? I purchased one in 2017 with the MR4 reticle and it's been superb. There were some turret and QC issues with the early models, but I've had no problems with mine. The...

    In-ear hearing aids for shooters

    Turned 69 this year and I need to get hearing aids for my day-to-day activities. I also do competitive and recreational shooting with pistols, AR-15s, and bolt action rifles (6.5 Creed). Typically double up with soft foam ear plugs and MSA Sordins for competition and range work. Are there any...
