ACOG and offset rds is 💯

I would NEVER spend over $750 for an optic. I’d rather die.

with lpvo's, $750 is pretty cheap

Not for me. I wouldn’t do it.

@Deleted User my work rifle recently
Message permalink: 705530752493813881
Get a decent red dot then, and later on if you want add a flip magnifier. Helps make you feel like you're not spending as much while still having a reliable opic

Holy shit, you're running an A2 grip, hahaha. Figured you'd have upgraded that.

It’s a work rifle

That's fair I suppose. Contracting? Or security?

Nothing wrong wkth a2 grip lol

Wasn’t that worried about it tbh, I’m so used to the A2 grip at this point

Oh, well in that case. Yeah, okay. Surprised they would let you have your rifle in a POV

I’m aware of the prices. I’m not saying anything AGAINST that shit. I’m saying I would never spend over $750
Message permalink: 705531541639528500
That’s just cause you’re dumb
Message permalink: 705531596492636210
Yep

Hahaha @Crye Salesman we had normal vics, I dig the uparmored van though.

Im just trying to find clear glass for around 400 lol
Message permalink: 705531643942928454
1) irons require 3, but optics require 2, unless you don't have a specific target you're shooting at. And focal planes are not the only or even primary determining factor for speed 2) true of red dots, not optics in general. Even 1x prisms cause some inattentive people to get lost in the tube. Anything over 1x is absolutely more likely to compromise awareness of surroundings than irons. 3)size of the aiming point is not the only factor in precision. If you're using the whole front sight post to hit a man sized target at 500m, someone did you dirty in training. 4)fair-ish. Irons are still very usable in low light, but no light, absolutely correct. 5)in theory many optics work with NV. In practice, you have to have trained and specifically set up the whole rifle and NVG to work like that, and even then most will still prefer to run a peq. And all of that only applies to irons vs red dots. Throw in LPVOs and other magnified glass and it's a whole different speed vs precision ballgame. I'm not saying irons are better. I'm saying they have a place, especially in training.

@American_AF anyone who owns a rifle needs to be able to hit out to at least 200m.
Message permalink: 705532245124972604
I have one of those myself, I use it on my 6.5 though
Message permalink: 705532266843209758
Every high end optic I have I got in trades and side jobs I did.

Oh I can hit 200m. That’s not long range.

A beautiful beast, I do love a hilux. Bastards gave me a Ford Fiesta last place I was at XD
Message permalink: 705532415006736464
If you have a service rifle you should be able to take supported, on demand head shots out to 300.

You'd be surprised how many retards can't

No shit, I'm more accurate at 300m than 50 during qual ranges, haha

I’m all too aware. People are fucking retarded.
Message permalink: 705532810286333972
Shooting should be the easy part tbh, that shit should be automatic until you start doing like long range movers with high wind
Message permalink: 705533210486112266
Yep, hence why I practice reflexive. Say all you want, but getting on target and getting that muscle memory is important to me.
Message permalink: 705533411124707349
Ew

😂 your trying too hard man.
Message permalink: 705533595334344725
You're telling me you haven't practiced going from low to high ready to make sure you don't pull to harshly when going on target?
Message permalink: 705533603651518605
🤔
Message permalink: 705533755191721994
Then again, most of the reflexive fire I do, was with my unit.
Message permalink: 705533790688378980
Shot process is shot process. There’s no fucking “reflex fire” bullshit, the world has learned since then. Mount the gun, acquire an acceptable sight solution and maintain it while pressing the trigger. Follow though with recoil control and sight tracking.
Message permalink: 705534036554285126
Reflex fire is literally what they tell people they’re not taking the time to give real training to, sorry man.

In a literal sense. Yes

Okay, yes you're right. But you know what I actually meant.

@Sparrow I went prairie dog hunting the other day and missed one at 75 yds for 3/4 shots and then dusted one at 500 😂 that was a bad day, but i feel you, my DMR is not meant less than 100 lol

Message permalink: 705534745479610408
Well, I want to tell you that’s not how guns work @GorgeousGeorgeus but really what that means is you need to dial in a hand load cause you’re barrel is doing wired things probably

Or switch ammo

Could be too

@Crye Salesman I think I was just having a weird day. I got a new trigger as well. I am normally 80%+ at all prairie rats within 300 yards, even in the wind.

@Crye Salesman in my door kicker gun I’m less particular. Shooting a 1.5 lb rat at 300+ yards in the wind I’m a little more discerning.

My concern with my entry gun is intermediate barrier defeat
Message permalink: 705536449277329431
Yeah, the dot on my holo is 2moa so 2-5 moa is ok for me with my 12.5”
Message permalink: 705536802198519809
Yep, 2moa dot inside of 100 meters is plenty good for me.
Message permalink: 705536890555727992
Oh, yeah @Sparrow I will concede your point about the total sight post MOA not mattering. But RDS only use 1 focal plane if you’re doing it right
Message permalink: 705537096911421461
Yeah, I used to lolipop my red dots. Now I don't give a shit. I only use the dot, good enough.
Message permalink: 705537388415549461
Now let's talk budget optics... Because I'm very curious on this. I have a mix of decent and shit optics. But are there any exceptions to the rule, that a say, $80 RDS can actually be good? Obviously, it might not be as durable as an Aimpoint or similar companies. But say the Bushnell TRS-25, for the guys who can't afford 300-600, does it work?
Message permalink: 705538816198443133
If any of you have personal experience with that sort of thing, of course.
Message permalink: 705538942979670098
I think it’s fairly well established what optics are reliable
