Let's see those optics! Finally got my vortex opmod strike-fire ii in the mail today. Can't wait to get out and get some range time now.
>>29969083
jesus
Doesnt get more poor fag than that
>>29969443
My buddy has a strike fire ii and it's pretty damn cool. Fairly clear and great value. Posting a pic in a second.
>>29969083
why the fuck are you mounting it so far back? Where are your iron sights? Why the fuck do you have a tapco 5.56 mag?
What the fuck are you even doing?
>>29969443

Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44
Picked this over the 32(?)mm objective optic because I figured the larger objective would be better in low light. I do miss the parallax adjustment as present on the 6-24 PST I've got on my Tikka, but I'm happy with this optic in the role that's intended, on a recce concept AR. Ditched the RMR, if something's too close for 2.5x I can comfortably point shoot it.
>>29969550
That's the mag it came with. And I feel comfortable having it mounted where it is so does it really matter?
>>29969785
Do you care what people think? Then move it forward. If not, snowflake it up poorfag.
>>29969785

>>29969603
i have a daniel defense M4A1
if that counts.
No optics yet, as i am in the process of buying more guns
I have a first gen Vortex Strikefire that I'm sending in for warranty later this week. the control board broke the first time I used it. Albeit it was on a Cetme with a collapsible stock. sooo.....yeah. pretty violent recoil.
>>29969672
You could do a 45deg mount for the RMR. How do you like the PST on the tikka? Do you use it much at the maximum magnification? I've got to try out the razor on my tikka (>>29969621) next weekend.
>>29969844
I only use the bipod as a stand. I usually keep it on my Draco.
I think it looks nice, grab some pmags though
>>29969970
I don't really go past around 18x most of the time. My Tikka is a .308, I only shoot to about 1k. The higher mag is great for range and wind estimation though as well as observation at distance.
>>29969975
>on my Draco.
it only gets worse.
>>29969970
I forgot to add, I've been extremely happy with the PST and it was the reason I went with another Viper optic for the AR. The EBR-2c reticle is really fantastic if you don't have time to dial corrections, but it doesn't feel too busy or cluttered.
>>29971455
Nice. I'm kind of regretting not getting a CTR instead of the T3, but for the cost, I'm okay with it as my first bolt rifle though. I'll be testing my handloads and getting my rifle zero'd and make sure to post groups when I got them. 175gr TMK's with 42gr of powder to start and I'll work up from there. I'm psyched about the ebr2c as well, it seems like a great reticle.
>>29971633
Jelly of the can
/nocans/ state reporting :(
I've been shooting freedom munitions 168gr AMAX. Have a lot of brass saved up, but don't have a reloading setup yet.
>>29971958
Nice. I've inly tried 175 SMK/TMK's in primarily factory ammo. I'd like to try some Hornady/Berger rounds and perhaps try to see if I can get away with the heavier rounds with the Tikka's 1:11 twist rate.
>>29969621
Thoughts on rmr? I was going to buy that instead of getting fucked out of an extra hundred or two hundred bucks for an aimpoint but I don't want to have to deal with a lemon which I heard is entirely possible
>>29972209
I've heard the duel illuminated ones will melt it you put then on an AK ultimak rail and they suck shooting from the shade out to a sunny target.
The adjustable LED one seems to be the best, kind of sucks that you have to remove it to change the battery but you should only have to worry about that every two or three years.
I haven't gotten to use one myself though.
>>29969621
>Vortex gen ii 4.5-27 ebr2c
That razor makes me Rigid...
>>29969083
I have the same optic OP and it's pretty great for the money. Hopefully you like it as much as I do.
anybody dealt with osprey global?
they seem to have good optics, mainly eotech and acog remakes but much cheaper.
are they snake oil shit?
>>29969824
Why are we calling people poorfags? Point is, the dudes got a fucking gun.
This board is for the discussion of guns.
Quit being a little bitch and lets talk about some fucking guns without making the guy feel unwelcome.
Jesus Christ and you fucking nigs wonder why people call gun owners bad people.
This is 100% a troll thread
Don't pay any attention to these noguns faggots OP. I have the same optic on my AR that has a SSA-E trigger and $200 Surefire light. Just because the optic doesn't cost a lot doesn't mean it's not good. You'll enjoy it.
>pic related
Budgetfag here, looking to replace the carry handle of my 20" AR with something with a bit of zoom, but isn't huge. How are the PA 5x scopes? worth the $250-280?
>>29969785
Are you the guy with the bear creek arsenal ? Im probably gonna by some cheap ncstar prism optic to beat up in the woods and see how it holds up
>>29969550
You represent the bad part of the weapon community.
>>29974100
What this anon said OP. If your rifle does the job you intend, and you're happy with it, that's all that matters.
I just picked up this Strike Eagle a few days ago and love it.
>>29974672
It was a great upgrade from my 30 year old Aimpoint 2000 red dot. It still works, but the technology has come so far I mostly keep it as an antique.
>>29969824
Oh just fuck off. Congrats on being a total dickhead. You're trying way too hard, prick.
Hey OP I have the same optic. Works great in my experience, I changed out the cantilever mount though.
Just ordered an ACOG to replace my EOKek
Aimpoint pro with a shitty magnifier I used for one range trip.
>>29974151
I am that same guy
>>29972209
Mro or rmr? I got the Mro for short range stuff instead of a T1/2 or a CompM4s because I wanted better field of view than the micro dots but not the weight of a full size compm4 on my SBR. I was going to go with the rmr but I decided that the FoV was too small.
>>29969785
>Bipod with a zero magnification optic
>barrel mounted bipod
Take that shit off.
And move that fucking dot foward. I bet you aim with one eye closed, don't you?
>>29974100
Well, at least you mounted it right and don't have a barrel mounted bipod. There's having cheap stuff, there's having bad stuff, and there's using any stuff badly. My leupold Mk ar is only okay. Good glass, no chromatic aberration or blurry edges, but duplex reticule, no illumination, and only a 1.5 setting. And it's costs $300. It's not even American made, it's made in China. Every other company at this price point manages to get a true(er) 1x, and or better reticule, and or illumination
>>29974148
I personally like the more compact 2.5
The lower magnification is better up close too.
>>29975450
Center of balance should be right around the magwell so having a heavy ass optic mounted a few slots back is better... Cantilever mounts without a magnifier are kind of dumb though.
>>29975490
The vortex red dot isn't heavy. And it's also about making the body as small as possible in your vision to improve both eyes open shooting
>>29969844
>16 in carbine
Its like you want your undergassed little middy to fail
Building a rifle fir home defense. I believe saving up for an aimpoint would be the smartest move, but any recommendations?
>>29975940
I've heard that before. Haven't bought my upper yet, what would you recommend? Particularly for home defense.
>>29976714
*for
>>29975490
>Cantilever mounts without a magnifier are kind of dumb though
Not really. Depending on where the person's natural rest is, on the rifle, the scope just needs to be where the best sight picture is. The scope could be far forward and the cantilever allows it to be mounted all on the main receiver without having a ring mounted on the rail, or whatever would otherwise be the most accommodating.
Theres no reason to hate on OP, sure he might be a poorfag but hes still "one of us". Maybe hes just getting started, jesus fuck my first gun was a nugger, thats 5x the poorfag, I say good for you OP, enjoy your rig
>>29969443
Kill yourself
Rifle looks good
>>29974992
How much did the basic AR run you? Looks decently put together, I might get one instead of doing another PSA build if the price isn't too far off.
>>29969083
Your rifle is like the same mine aside from the magpul shit on mine
>>29979858
This is how I want to build my first AR
Anyone have any experience with the Obzor optic?
Daily reminder that if you buy anything other than Aimpoint, Trijicon, EOtech, or Elcan for an AR-15; you're pathetic.
>>29969083
>>29974927
Are you getting a refund on the eotech?
>>29982463
>>29982491
>>29982508
Just a few of them
>>29982441
Fuck.
>>29974148
get the 3x or 4x
5x fixed has too small of an FOV for close work and not enough magnification for long range work
Anyone here have a Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x? I want to get one for my TRG-42.
Aimpoint T-2
>>29982549
Low energy.
>>29975450
Thats a neat backpack, what is it?
>>29982556
You complete madman!

Another faggot that doesn't know what gas port size means.

bait/10
Just rocking a primary arms advanced micro dot on a holosun absolute co-witness mount. Works just fine. I'm still looking for something to get for my 300blk pistol, I'm thinking about an MRO
>>29982541
That's a second focal plane MOA scope. Are you doing a specific type of competition shooting that requires those? If not, I wouldn't recommend it. Not to beat a dead horse, but perhaps you should take a look at the Razor Gen II 4.5-27 EBR2C?
>>29982632
No I want to be able to zoom to at a minimum 50x. and its not for competition I want it for home defense.
>>29982595
Combat Sustainment Pack in ATACS) from TAG gear
On sale for $63 (instead of $220): http://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com/combat-sustainment-pack-a-tacs.html
I got one as well and like it.
>>29982647
I see...well good luck with that...sorry for wasting our time with my response.
>>29982668
Somebody convince me to save up for an Aimpoint H1/T1 over just buying a Primary arms MD-ADS for half the price.
Not baiting here, Im having a real conflict about which to get.
>>29982765
Aimpoint
>great warranty
>No bullshit
>stands up to just about everything I've thrown at it
PRimary Arms
>Absolute no bullshit warranty (high point tier)
>Made in China
>Not as durable, but close
>>29982765
its more than half the price. PA advanced dot is $170, h1 on sale is about $475.
>>29982780
If i buy an Aimpoint its gonna be used and as far as I know the warranty doesnt transfer, they will probably take i anyway but its not a given.
Also having dealt with primary Arms before they have fucking crazy good CS, Ive never heard anything poor about their CS, but yeah made in china.
>>29982783
there was actually a sale on H-1s a couple of months ago? that was $400 shipped.
>>29982874
great, just hop in your time machine and youll be set!
but seriously, what it comes down to is
a hobbyist buying hobby level equipment or a hobbyist buying professional grade equipment.
despite what internet forums tell you, either is fine. its up to you if you want to spend that extra money.
>>29980120
That made me warm and fuzzy inside :)
>>29974633
>>29969443
oh contraire
When you're a student, you make due with amazon sights.
>>29983140
If it works it works man, don't listen to that fag.
