Anyone else find it interesting we are still talking about a concept/practice that started with the Block1/MK12 SPR program over 20 years ago? Granted, the original SPR scopes are what we now call MPVO, (another widely debated topic) but the form factor and function is the same. All that...

Big dents from ejection? If so, you could remove the ejector and trim the spring. Personally, I’d rather have the 100% reliable ejection but I’m risk averse:) I just change the bolt every two barrels. It’s $40. Old one goes in one of my kit bags in case of a field failure.

If you compete in events with VTAC barricades, a piggyback red dot is often easier to get behind in mailbox slots, etc. also easier for me, when shooting under a vehicle if I have to lay my rifle flat. These are marginal for most, and I can’t claim it’s made me any more successful, but when...

With the recent explosion of 2011 pistols, I am curious if there is a strategy of making these pistols field reliable while maintaining decent accuracy? These seems to run on the ragged edge of spring strength for cycling, the 1911 style trigger seems to be a failure point for grit/silt...

Speaking generally here… This is one of the best reasons to shoot tactical biathlons. ( LARPing ? Maybe) You’re gonna run between 3-10 miles and do obstacles in this shit. If it can rub a sore sport or fall off, it will. Not combat by any means, but it’s a good way to shake down kit with...

Legion sells out quick too, which would also be fairly close. Ellis’s should be doable, if you don’t mind traveling. NC, SC and WV shouldn’t be too far. https://thegunrun.us/collections/tickets

Belts :). Like chest rigs, plate carrier and Pringle’s, you can’t have just one. A ton of great belts my current favorite two piece is the Ferro Bison. Super light weight, stiff as fuck and holds my shit right. BUT, I have to tuck in to use it. When it’s cold out this is a no go. For that I...

I just started going down this road about 6 weeks ago. Ran my first two matches with an RMR on a G47 but have recently moved an ACRO into it. I also run suppressor height blacked out sights which work fine through both he RMR and the ACRO. To MY EYE the ACRO is easier for me to be target...

A few weeks ago, I attended what I expect to be the first annual TENET Midnight Madness Night Run and Gun. A charity event ran on behalf of the family of CPT. Trevor Graves (5th SFG, Ret.), who was a plank holder of the now “infamous “Legion Memorial match, (really a weekend of events more than...

Rye old fashions by the fire

This is why I moved away from my Leupold 3-10 M3 and to the compact Nightforce scopes. Target and reticle is in focus from like 25 yards to infinity and parallax is easily solved for longer shots if needed with scope shadow. For fast shooting I don’t want to fuck with parallax or a compromised...

IMO, if you’re not going to use the LPVO at 1x, get an MPVO and red dot piggyback . Even at 4x a scope is fairly easy to shoot both eyes open. Caveat is make sure the reticle fits your need.

Nightforce made a run of the 2.5-10x24 in mil several years ago. Also SFP, but it’s as close as you’re going to get if you want it to look clone correct. If not, just buy what you want. Plenty of documented cases of guys running what they wanted while deployed.

LOL, No. 7 stages over 4.6 miles. I carried a bit more ammo than I normally would as it was a night run/shoot. These usually have KIMs games, obstacles, sometimes passive work with Ham radio for tips, light land nav, med tests, etc., you never know so some (I) carry extra shit and I need...

If you get the Haley, look to change it to an H harness. IMO the X harness is uncomfortable, especially if you have a wide back and lats. I ran a Haley with an Eagle Yote Saturday in the TENET Midnight madness run and gun. Round count was 61 rifle, 47 pistol on a dry range (no loaded weapons in...

Let’s be honest, who has just one chest rig? CRs and plate carriers seem to multiply over the years. As do placards, mag punches, belts, pistol, med kits, etc. etc… Match/mission dictates the kit…. Learn your weaknesses and if you can’t train through it, carry more ammo…

I haven’t shot the Steiner in a few years as the rifle and her are both at Ft. Lewis, but it’s worth a revisit. I think we got it for $385 new so it was a steal, and very nice but the ACOG is tough to beat on a 5.56. I don’t find the eye relief it be an issue, certainly not as big a deal as my...

We put the Steiner 1-4 on my daughter’s lightweight 16.5” Krieger. It’s a nice sight but I had a hard time getting any off the shelf ammo to come even close to the BDC. What ammo are you using to semi-true up the BDC? Maybe my literature was off??

I have both. I compete with 14.5” w/ ACOG with RMR up top. Shot it yesterday in a stage with targets from 10’ to 430+ yards. Only miss I had was my dumb ass doubling one up close so a no engage on the third target and one miss at distance as I snatched the trigger. To 300 -500 they’re...

This is a long story of what ignorance can cost you. A decent read for a first time red dot buyer. What a fucking journey this has been. Long story short, I don’t know what I don’t know and should have spent a little more time searching basic shit as well as just looking at my kit before I...
