Dots are good for people with eye dominance issues. With both eyes open, even if you see 4 dots, just put them on the target. They'll always be on target even if your eyes are lying to you.

If it's irons, I just focus on the front sight post and it turns into one. If it's my holosight, they're both on the same plane so it doesn't matter, and scopes I just focus on the reticle and it turns into one

You just have to focus on the sight hard, then stick it on the fuzzy blob that is your target, and your rounds will go there every time. With red dots you're able to focus on the target which is kinda nice, though it has its drawbacks as its easier for the brain to process putting a sight in the center of a fuzzy blob. We're actually incredibly good at finding the center of things. An exercise that will help you is called the Brock String

Weighing a few options, I've found out about Howa. Supposedly built more solidly than Tikka but both are good. What caught my eye is that you can buy Howa barreled actions, and as I'm planning on dropping the action into an LSS gen 2 stock, it seems like it may be the better choice as I'd be saving around $400 by not having a spare Tikka stock

I visited japan once, it was interesting. The public technology was a bit more advanced in some places, though practically iron age in more rural areas. Their culture is similar to ours, 70 years ago. Very nationalist, a bit racist and sexist, strong family values, heavy focus on tradition, except more collective minded than individualistic.

Ok so my needs are many but id like some advice. Top 3 pistols. I know, revolvers are dependable as fuck. Dont care. Also, just to keep it fun, under 400 and prefer 9mm or 45acp And Top 3 rifles. Again, gotta challenge you so under 800. I have my ideas but am looking to see if there is any overlap with "professional" advice

So, question. I need to know if I’m the only one who has this issue. Who all is such a big fan of a specific line they have all their pew pews matching?

All of mine are the M&P line from Smith and Wesson. I have the M&P-15, my EDC is a Shield 40 and my wife carries my Shield 9 every day

Ah, not me. I just use whatever's serviceable. Personally have an m&p shield and a vp9, though I'd just as easily pick up a glock, walther, or sig

DMR build. Already have the lower, and will not consider a can because I'm not registering shit. Besides a muzzle device and bipod, any advice? Any obvious weak parts here? https://ar15discounts.com/products/aero-precision-atlas-s-one-m-lok-handguard-black/ https://faxonfirearms.com/match-series-20-flame-fluted-223-wylde-rifle-length-416r-nitride-5r-nickel-teflon-extension/ https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-upper-receiver-m4-flat-top-m4-feedramps-complete-unassembled-demo-scratched/ https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-bolt-carrier-group-mpi-auto/ https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcmgunfighter-ambidextrous-charging-handle-5-56mm-223-mod-4x4-medium-latches/ https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/ar15-complete-lower-receiver-moe-sl-grip-sl-carbine-stock https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx6-3-18x50mm-sfp-rifle-scope-gen-3-illuminated-acss-hud-dmr-308-reticle

BCM is pretty solid I've heard. Looks like a set of parts I'd buy. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The optic and the barrel are the biggest questions. I have zero experience with Faxon and don't know anyone that does. I have been running a primary arms 1-6 sfp optic for a couple years and love it but idk if there are any big issues with their precision scopes

Primary Arms are really good for their precision scopes.

So apparently Garand Thumb on YouTube recommends budget optics over quality irons since they'll cost around the same.

I take everything he says with a big ass grain of salt because he uses exclusively top end gear. Being able to do that tends to make someone lose perspective on what can be made to work.

That said, his assessment of primary arms optics is in line with what others say and what I've experienced

I got a PSA shit stick that I'll exclusively be feeding steel-cased ammo. Recs for piston conversion kit and an ambi charging handle? Also, Anderson power's a little wobbly. Swapping it for a PSA make for a tighter fit?
