Here are some good reads on scopes if anyone is interested. A guy can pay all he want for a scope, damn. Lots of good information.

That is a good site. I remember when they did a huge roundup/evaluation of high-end scopes and how much butt-hurt resulted on the other sites I am a member of.

Got my eotech today. It was manufactured 4-17. Was going to send it back for something else but their website says sights made after October 2016 have minimal thermal drift issue. Same amount as Trijicon states.

There is another good site by a guy named Koshkin. He is a scope guru.
http://opticsthoughts.com/?page_id=145 I also like www.snipershide.com and www.opticstalk.com |

Oh, he can definitely afford it. And to his credit, he shoots in 3-gun matches regularly and puts thousands of rounds through his competition guns a year. They don't just sit in a safe being needlessly expensive.

I will say this, once you go high-end, it's hard to go back.
I wouldn't trade my Steiner Military 4-16's for anything. They are awesome, and track dead-nuts on. Illumination is amazing on them, too. Last edited by notorious; 06-10-2017 at 07:25 PM.. |

Seems the other gun forums aren't too impressed with that .308 rifle, though a lot of it referenced uppers and lowers, and proprietary parts.
Not sure if this is complete gun is something different, tried all kinds of Google searches. |

Last night I went to a concert. They've got the signs up, but I just ignore them at this point. Up here, all they can do (in the one in a million instance where somebody realizes you're carrying) is demand you leave the premises, and if you don't give them any shit and just leave, there's no issue. But last night, as I was waiting in line to enter, I realized that the pansies had taken it up a level, and were now actively patting people down. ****ing idiot liberals. So obviously I had to return to the car and stow the gun. The glove box doesn't have a lock, so I just dropped it under the seat. And I really, really didn't like leaving my $1,000 CZ under the ****ing seat in an unattended vehicle for three hours. Nothing happened, but I really didn't like it. I kind of regret selling my little M&P 9c now, but what's done is done. I may get a replacement cheapie carry gun for these situations. Maybe I'll check with Summit to see if they have any used Glock deals, or pick up a new XDS from PSA - hell, they're practically giving them away lately. |

PSA 10's are supposed to be based on DPMS pattern, but there were a lot of issues when they released them.
