    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    My two Devil Dogs crossed paths on the same base a while back. Sure was nice to get a picture of the two........since they seem to get stationed all over the place.

    Advice please ??

    Couldn't agree with you more on the Hamm Radio deal. Some guys with serious brain power and years of experience. in the civilian radio world. I went through all three tests in 2011 and I still have a headache from the Amateur Extra test! I've experienced "Invaluable Advice" from folks on this...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Just wanted to update all the SH brothers who shared their valuable knowledge and advice. My daughter attended college for one semester......to help convince her that the Corps was her calling. She did very well in school but wasn't "Feeling it." So off to boot camp. She did extremely well...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex choices

    As Kansas pointed out.....Vortex is still selling Razor Gen 1's.....just received two of them from Vortex a couple of weeks ago. I would recommend spending as much as you can or feel comfortable with. I think you'll find a significant difference in turrets and image when comparing a PST gen1 and...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 5-25 v Minox 5-25 v Nightforce 7-35 v Schmidt & Bender 5-25 v Vortex 4.5-27

    Dave: Thanks for the review!! Really nice to read a direct comparison of some of the popular top tier scopes. I think it really shows how competition in the market has forced the various companies to step up their game........as evidenced by how close they all performed.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor Gen 1

    Guess I would check with one of the sponsors first.....CS Tactical, Doug at CemeraLandNY, Mile High. If you have a membership, Gulp, to Expericity.....they have an amazing price on these scopes....just received two this past week. Worth every penny IMHO.

    Rifle Scopes ZERO stop shims for vortex pst ?

    I think the plastic shim idea would be great. Just wondering if there are plastic washers of various thicknesses? And of a material that won't compress or crack when someone dials down to the stop too harshly. Sorry about my previous post.....Just bugged with the shim deal recently and not...

    Rifle Scopes ZERO stop shims for vortex pst ?

    Yes......Sorry........I've moved into the G2 4.5-27X and I will soon.......be receiving a couple of Gen 1 Razor 5-20X's..........so my PST 6-24X will become a back bencher! There are alternatives to the shim PST scopes!

    Rifle Scopes 6-8 Months delivery from Vortex

    It was not my intention to compare paychecks or how much expendable cash one has available compared to others. My family and I are small fish in a very large ocean, as it were. I'm just saying we were one of the many who were able to benefit from the generous offer from Vortex due to my wife's...

    Rifle Scopes 6-8 Months delivery from Vortex

    This seems to be a very complex situation..............manufacturer to customer interface. I can tell you......my wife, as a disabled ( first Gulf War ) service member, has benefitted from Vortex's generous Mil /Leo program. If not for this program.......we most likely would not have afforded...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks y'all.....We greatly appreciate all the advice / information we can get. We will work on break down, cleaning and reassembly of an AR. I've tried to train her to not have a "Victim's" mentality......so she is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do......but I'm trying to get her into Krav Maga or...

    Rifle Scopes SHV F1, Razor Gen 1, Razor Gen 2

    I understand your mental struggle with this decision. I think if you could define your intended use a little more.....it might help others to come up with solutions for you. When you talk about shooting at the range 500 to eventually 1000 yards.......are you talking paper target or being able...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks.....you can tell I'm a "Civi"....as I don't use the correct terminology. My apologies if I've offended any of y'all by confusing Boot Camp with Basic Training.......It is an honest mistake on my side I can assure y'all.

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks. I think this is going to be a really good fit for her. She, without influence from her parents, thrives on having her life organized and scheduled. This isn't to the point where she's rigid or antisocial. But I think she'll feel very comfortable in an environment where there's specific...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thank you for the advice. We will encourage her to be more vocal about her MOS when she gets closer to heading out for basic. Unfortunately, as newbies to this process, we figured the poole / recruit had very little say......so it's nice to hear that she can have some input. I'm not sure what...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Man......You hit the nail on the head!! After MEPS, she was informed that she would not qualify for the MP program due to her eye sight. So the recruiter is pushing artillery and / or driving heavy equipment were mentioned to her. I'm hoping, as an alternative, that she tries to go for...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks, appreciate the insight.......We had mentioned the AF since my wife is an AF vet. But my daughter says she likes the rigorous physical training the Marines go through. Right or wrong......I can't argue against it..............just support her along her journey.
