Don't buy any optic made in China- they're our greatest external threat.Now a different question, what optic?!I have been looking closely at an acog 3.5 plus RMR set up but I have no experience with that optic and have read some things about reticle disappearance if you don’t have excellent vision, which I don’t I wear glasses. Any of you guys have experienced this?
Cant be stressed enough. Fuck anything 2A-related that’s chinese.
Yep. And the Feckin dem clowns who disagree actually think pointing to other industries the CCP has already stolen- like smart phones- is a justification to buy Chicom shooting gear- when it's actually a perfect reason to NOT buy Chicom shooting optics and gear.
I get tempered to build a 6ARC everytime I see it mentioned or discussed, lol.
Just my opinion but I don’t run Eotechs as their battery life sucks. Apart from that, the hold overs are great using the reticle, especially the EXPS 3-2 w/the additional dot. 400m is no problem, especially with a platform like yours (that is with an Aimpoint or Eotech and 3x magnifier)…There’s a specific hold over increment scale for that dot based on a 25 or 50m zero but I don’t recall what it is. I had one for about two years and sold it for Aimpoints as I hated the short battery life.
That’s exactly what it is (with an eotech/Aimpoint). At 400m, my hold is ~1/2 target high, still more or less plinking but more consistent.
Haven’t shot the rifle yet so I don’t have that info yet.
Good points, that’s why I think am leaning more towards a BDC style optic, I dont see myself shooting past 400m much so it’ll be perfect. A mil based reticle is also another thing am looking at since am used to Mils in my bolt guns. I was just curious as to what people thought about the holo/magnifying systems but am not set on that.
18” mk12.
I love t1/t2s on carbines for general purpose use and use 200m zeros (i zero at 50 initially then refine it at 200) and work on my holds from basically point blank out to 300m with more of an emphasis on 200 and in.
I thought that they had a lot of proprietary nonsense?
At the NRA show in Houston, the rep said mid 3k. I am not long range guy so I am bouncing between 14.5 or 16" barrels.
My favorite multi-role carbine optic.
Hard pass. I’ve seen the SHOT footage and while impressive, Geissele is worth 2/3rd MSRP to me at most.
Not that I'm aware of, other than the handgaurd/upper receiver... But I don't own a DI version...I have an M6A1 (piston).
The monoforge upper and hand guard are proprietary, barrel and gas system on DI are otherwise mil-spec pattern. Otherwise the bolt catch and mag catch situation are proprietary. Not a whole lot of reason to mess with them very much, IMO.
Exactly. No need to mess with most of (if any) of it. Just slap an optic and a good light on it, add your other accessories, zero it, enjoy.
The reality is a semi-auto hardly needs a chrome barrel.
Yea I have heard. I got the 3.5x acog with 2.4” of eye relief, I can work with that.
I'm probably not up to your quality standards, but I've got a couple of M&P 15's that are just delights to shoot. Never any problems, and a fair number of rounds through them. I've got a Vortex BDC scope on one and a Vortex red dot on the other. Both guns seem to shoot better than the glass (and operator), and that's NOT belittling the glass. The one with the BDC scope shoots fine out to 500, don't have more range to practice on.
Yea man am excited too, can’t wait to get the thing mounted up.
The ta33 is small and has a ton of eye relief btw. Keeps it light and allows easier time behind the glass, if you haven’t ordered yours already
I did, got the 3.5x I believe it’s the ta11 with a RMR and horseshoe reticle. I decided to go with that model because all I read/watch said it was the best of both worlds between 4x and 3x. Better eye relief than 4x and better FOV than 3x. Weight is not really an issue for me.
You’ll enjoy it. Fov was non issue for me as I shoot both eyes open with the Acog. Enjoy your new setup
Which model is that? How is the eye relief?
It’s the TA-110 LED version. Eye relief seem comfortable, official spec is 2.4” I think is a bit more than that, gotta get it mounted/zeroed to really know. Got the LED version because I didn’t wanna be fiddling with the fiber optic and I prefer a non-illuminated reticle in most daylight situations. Am waiting on a TR2 stock that I will install on the LWRC then am GTG.
I see you went with the LWRC. You'll enjoy that rifle. They're VERY accurate, as far as AR's go.
Makes a lot of sense, thanks!If you really want BUIS as a third option in your PACE you could go offset when you're short of rail space. But honestly, as low as you HOB is(based on your cheek piece) you probably could've just gone with a MAGPUL MOE stock. I like the simplicity and light weight of them. Keep in mind, despite how general purpose BDC reticles are, when you start changing the height above bore it skews the ballistic even more.
Looks good tho. Shoot it and show us some groups
Just went out today, first 60 rounds. Shows promise held 1.5 moa at 100 meters with cheap 62gn Frontier FMJ ammo, was able to get hits on steel at 500 meters although hard to tell accuracy out there because of the 3.5x. But was very consistent at 300m and in. Acog is awesome, BDC is a bit off but you can adjust quickly. Rifle shot and felt great and is perfectly gassed making a nice pile of brass at 3 o’clock. Trigger in the other hand is atrocious, definitely needs to be replaced.
Good to hear! Get you a Rise Armament RA-434 trigger, and some KNS Precision anti-walk pins. That’s what I run in all my AR’s. And if you ever have any issues, their CS is absolutely top-notch. They also offer a satisfaction guarantee, and if you don’t like it, you can swap it for another model.
Get a Geissele SSA-E and be done with your trigger problems. They are the best AR trigger that I've ever felt.
They're nice, I have one in my Christensen Arms Ranger 22, but it's not as light as I'd like it to be, but I haven't had a single issue with it.
