You need to buy cheap low quality impractical and unnecessary shit to mount to your rifle and yourself. Get some Temu armor plates, a handful of NCStar products from the finest ebay reseller, and post your abomination on reddit for updoots. Then you'll be tacticool
I like mine for competitions when they have us take shots past 100m but 200m or further the 3x starts to suffer compared to a lpvo. My right eye is also a tad near sighted while my left is perfect 20/20 so it also helps get a clearer picture of the dot too.
I imagine it depends on how bad your astigmatism is that will dictate how the sights work for you. I have that too, and with vision correction it's...reasonable. I've also noticed that red dots from different companies are all a little different. Aimpoint works the best for me. Their T2 and their Duty RDS are both pretty good with contacts, and are their best with glasses. The Trijicon MRO is not very good at all in red, and damn near unusable in green set bright enough to use during the day.
I'm a boomer and was taught by boomers so for decades I've been a hardcore "cheek weld" guy. I'm betting that was probably born out of the era when iron sights were by far the norm on rifles. Things are quite different now.
Do you have any videos on this technique? I've never heard of this and it sounds cool.
Only because you have to - and in 2024AD, you don't.
Personally I feel like the irons just block too much of the open view of the sight, run one or the other unless you really want to.
On my A4gery I've got a DD rear sight with an Aimpoint PRO mounted for distance and low-light snapshots. The mount is too high for 1:1 co-witness so the sight picture is a bit crowded but it does the job.
You need the serial number for the item in question or there is nothing to file paperwork for. Most dealers for suppressors will work with you on this.
You will have to register the receiver as an SBR before you construct it as an SBR, if you would like to suppress it on top of that it's another tax stamp. There are ways around the excess length by way of having an integrated suppressor but that's a specialty job.
So I probably need to do more research. Maybe I’ll get one next year when I have that cash to blow. If they don’t have it in stock I’ll have to pay all those fees for purchase/shipping/reservation. They only sell silencerco and dead air
1. Pistol suppressors(exception of 22lr) are somewhat overrated and detract from the advantages of pistols(compactness) along with introducing reliability problems, depending on your combination of handgun, can, booster, attachment system and recoil spring. Expect to tinker no matter what you buy.
Suppressed pistols are kinda lame and not nearly as cool as you think they'd be. You go from having a light and wieldy thing to something that can't really be quick drawn, adds malfunctions, and gets hot as fuck. Basically all your training with a can is useless for real situations since it blocks so much of your view and changes draw drastically.
Something something (((free markets))))
I'm not sure if you mean that you haven't tried red dots and are going off of the fact that they're finicky with astigmatism, or if you have, and do struggle with them, but if you go into most gun stores or sporting goods stores, you can ask them if you can look through an optic. The lighting in something like an Academy is very bright, so it's not a great test, but it'll at least tell you whether it's worth it to try one. They seem to play nicer with astigmatism on relatively low brightness settings, so it's worth checking, if you haven't already.
Suppressors, maybe. I remember getting a lot of gas in the face and not being super impressed. But SBRs are fun as hell. My brother has one and I love shooting it.
