I have already lost two NF occular caps, 1 time hunting the other in a match. The rotating occular is (was) a pain in the ass to deal with. I will say since I got the One Hundred Concepts scope cap with the shock collar, the cap never gets in the way, and I dont mind the rotating occular now. If you have an ATACR, I highly recommend those scope caps.

I'll have to look into them.
 
Ok people keep saying Tbrex covers make it a non issue like a coping mechanism here.

Try taking off those non issue covers and see how much they actually impact your view; especially running gunning. Big bulky covers, ewwwwww

Now; the only reason 90% end up with 7-35 is because NF does not have anything worth a dime in the lower range; with one exception, the 4-16x which is my favorite optic. However that does not meet the zoom range and most would agree. 5-25x atacr is a giant piece of crap.

Would i buy one at $2350.00 new; probably… Next step up is A LOT more.

Sorry to interfere the nightforce group therapy here.

I think I'll survive with the rotating ocular. Really eager to put this against my G3 Razor for an unbiased opinion.

Here's the point where I get "boo'ed" even worse and state that I frequently use neoprene covers. Not only does it help to prevent dings on my expensive Fudd long guns sitting in the back of the safes, but they are cheap and just as easy to remove.

My "Just as guuuud" Burris XTR III and Pro keep shitting the objective cover off during recoil. Kind of a pisser. I do like the new Vortex ones though.

I can get behind the ATACR easier then the g3. The Nightforce 7-35 is better then the 5-25, but not by much. If the 7-35 is 100% the 5-25 is 97%.

The Gen3 6-36 is nice and Gen2 4.5-27 are both nice as well.

Pics since it's a AI thread.

Or you will be like me waiting for my part

I'm not a dirty lefty though ;)

Happily, it was only a 20% deposit so I will be a bit more patient.

It's better than the ~$1000 I had to give MHSA in order to reserve a couple of triggers and I have no idea when I'll actually get them.

Got confirmation that my ATACR shipped. I was super stoked about it...right up until the gunsmith called and said my 7-300 PRC barrel was done and waiting on me (it's on a Surgeon 1086). Add in the 8lbs of N568 I bought Sunday, plus the ATACR-like excise tax I had to pay on my new truck, and it looks like I got poor again this week. 😄 Turnaround on the barrel was all of two weeks, and he's made every barrel for me for the last 4 years.

His/my last barrel is a 6GT barrel for my AT-X. It frigging shoots.

I know somebody is going to shit because I don't have any kind of muzzle device, as well as a Razor G3. I'll freely admit it...I'm mostly an AI poser, who just came here for the $70 stickers and $120 ball cap.

Deciding to ask here first.
Just got a 6 Dasher barrel for my ATX.
What magazines or kits have yall played with or do you just go and buy the grey ops magazine?

HRD kits used to be the go to standard, but they've been unavailable for quite a while now and no one seems to be sure if they're going to be available again.

The PVA kit works well too but unfortunately requires you to hack up the original follower so there's so going back since getting a replacement follower from AI seems to be nearly impossible.

If you have a 3D printer this may be worth a try:


Or just buy the grey ops and be done with it. I haven't used one myself as I have a bunch of HRD kits but they are supposed to work well.

I have a Gen 2 Razor and Bushnell DMR3 on my AI’s. My TRG-42 has a DMR2 on it currently.

My vision isn’t great and I can’t tell the difference between them and a ZCO so why spend the money when my scopes are reliable and track well?

For the love of God, don't tell these guys there's another part that can't be sourced from AI.

Completely unrelated, how many extra followers do you think I should have on hand...?

It’s part #AI15-0609-A3 for the spring and follower.

If MHSA or AINA won’t sell it to you try Sporting Services UK.

Is that part number for the older flat follower or the newer ramped follower? I'd like to get a couple of the ramped ones to try but last time I tried calling Mile High they couldn't get the new design ramped followers separately, they were only included with new magazines.

Not sure why I need them anyways, I've never had an issue with the original design flat followers.

It looks like this but I’m not sure which that is as I didn’t realize that they changed:

ETA: I had the wrong #…it’s AI15-0609-A3

I run a DMR2 on my 6.5x47 that I kill a lot of coyotes with around here. I know that there is significantly better glass out there...but this scope hasn't failed me yet.

That doesn't mean that I'm a Bushy fan. I will upgrade that optic at some point.

FWIW on the mag followers:

I have both types, and they feed 6 and 6.5 CM flawlessly...but both will cause the 6GT to nosedive in the mag. I think I shared a picture of it in here before, but I can attach another one again if one wants to see the end result.

My workaround is to load the rounds forward, where the shoulder of the 6GT case is even with the front of the feed lips. It works for static firing, but I don't think it would be very effective in PRS.
