hmm I like it but I dont think its much of an upgrade from the strike eagle that I already have.

Ohh didn’t see that you had one.

Yea they are basically the same thing. Bushnell might have a little clearer glass but that would be expected from a company making optics for as long as they have

One thing I will say about bushnell is their customer service is 🔥

Even bushnell bottom barrel optics are decent

what I really want is an accupoint but theyre a little out of my range

Im moving to AZ this summer so I cant spend too much because its gonna be expensive to move and I need to find a job there too.

Yea well 250$ with an aero mount shipping included. For anyone that needs one

Unfortunately looks like all the primary arms LVPOs are on back order. I like the ACSS I have there little 2.5x prism on my scorpion

If you’re looking a cheap LPVO like this second the Nikon ptac is cheap enough as a disposable scope but actually decent

If any of yall need plates SHELLBACK has them in stock, as of yesterday they said they ship in 24hrs

They are good on that promise

You have to pay for expedited processing at least when I did it but it’s 2 bucks

Yea I think I might order through them today

If someone buys my scope I deff will be lol

The accupoint 1-6 is a fantastic optic. Very generous eye relief and built like a tank. Runs about 900 though

Pro tip on the shell backs

They are chonky boys

Honestly lpvo's are great for 0-600 yards but red dots and magnifiers are better for 0-300 yards. Unless you're routinely shooting out that far, or have an area where it's reasonable that you might shoot that far, I'd suggest a red dot and magnifier.

Big brain move is powered optic with a offset Red dot

First time AR buyer. Seen a Springfield Saint edge for $1159. Is it a good gun?

You can do a ton better for 1150 bucks

Aero is sold out right now it looks like, you’d only be a couple hundred away from a full BCM rifle for that money

I'll look into it. Thanks

No

Yea you can get much better

Or a full LWRC

Modern Springfield isn’t known for the it top of the line shit

What lower receiver parts do you guys run?

Milspec parts, I have some cheap anti walk pins in and meme trigger right now

Other rifle is milspec parts, another set of cheap anti walk pins and a JMT trigger

Milspec, so whatever brand?

Oh god no that’s not what that means

Milspec I usually only hear used as a meme.

Opinions on savage?

Think both of my kits were Anderson’s, but the only thing that’s left are the pins, and detents

What savage

Looks overpriced

Personally I wouldn’t get 224 valk

But savage has a great warranty program

Oh wait, it's 224, not 556. Idk what those go for price wise

224 Valk is ammo type I'm assuming. Sounds hard to find

Not hard to find but expensive, easy to mistake for 5.56 and is a varmit round by design

Really good for pushing that caliber to its limits accuracy and range wise but not a fighting gun

If it's your first AR I'd suggest something more mainstream. 556, .308, etc

I was going for a 223. Figured it would be easier to find.

5.56 rifles can safely use .223 ammo, but not the other way around.

hey @Deleted User what area of MN you in?

@squidsoup0 Duluth

no shit

me too

@squidsoup0 lol yeah I saw in our state room

5.56 can shoot 223? Holy shit. That's game changing information

Oh thats right haha. Theres so many rooms here i forget which ones i said things in

Don't do the reverse lol 223 cannot shoot 556

You ever go out to that range in superior out by the train tracks?

Heard if you wanna shoot 223 that you should probably get a beefier barrel

@squidsoup0 never been to a range to be honest.

where do you go shooting?

.223 Wylde barrels will shoot both no problems

@squidsoup0 don't own a gun yet. Only shooting I've done is at my aunt's ranch over in Montana

5.56 barrels will do 223 but it’s not explicitly designed to

99% of ARs now are 5.56 or wylde barrels that I’ve come across

oh ok. Ive been going out on state forest land during this lockdown crap since the ranges are closed but its a long drive

and my car cant take much more of those logging roads..

I'm somewhat familiar with Wylde. Is there any trade-off when using 556 ammo in it?

I think its

its like 5.56 with less freebore

you can shoot 5.56 and 223 in it though

I mean is there any downside or is it just a superior design?

No not really

What’s a fair price to offer on a used 1-4 trijicon accupoint?

I've noticed they run a bit more expensive than a 556, but if it's more versatile I'll run it.

What are they new like 8-900?

If it’s not beat up my personal rule is 2/3-3/4 price of new if it’s in good condition

@TacticalBeard around 550

https://www.hornadyle.com/resources/le-faq/what-is-the-difference-between-556-nato-and-223-rem-ammunition

I dont think paying extra for 223wylde would be worth it unless you are an absolutely amazing shot and are shooting from a totally supported bench rest. just get 5.56 unless the wylde barrel costs the same.

.223 Wylde maintains the accuracy of .223, but can handle the pressure of 5.56.

When do y'all expect the poor shops to drop prices back to normal? This whole $500 for a $200 barrel shit is getting ridiculous....

Next year

*cries in 2012 memories*

The more I think about it, the more I lean towards piston operated being the superior choice for post apocalypse lol.

Oh, we’re doing this today. Okay

T91 upper

Unless you want bufferless, I think the t91 still needs a buffer

>recommending T91 >BRN-180 >Sig MCX >Ruger SR556 >Scar16 >HK416 Wild.

Didn’t know the SR556 was piston driven

I’ll have to look into them

Yeah, they’re supposed to be aight as far as poor boy HK416’s go. There was an upper on tacswap for like 500 the other day

I recommended the t91 as a budget one, what’s the brn-180 going for about 1k?

700bucks for the upper

That’s not bad then, they drop their pic rail lower yet?

🤨 no it’s that tall because of the piston

416 is about the same. MCX is even taller IIRC

No I mean the lower receiver with the pic rail where the buffer tube would go

Ooooh

I know it was listed but didn’t think they were out yet

Oh drop as in release, I’m a fuckin idiot lmao
