1-6x or 1-8x? I have the 1-8x on my AR-10, great sight for the price. Tempted to pick up a 1-6x for one of my AR15s.

1-8x was on sale, a 1-6x would be better but I’m not picky, I’ll take the +2x magnification even if I won’t need it. I don’t plan on shooting past 600 with 5.56 lol.

Here’s one with a mount for $229 I didn’t see before

New HK, not released only leaks

Neat, but I was hoping for a G19/USP Compact sized VP9 or P30 (no, the SK with the bigger mag doesn't count, faggot) I mean the SK feels great with the xtendo 15rn mags, but I want something that doesn't need a goofy xtendo baseplate to get 15 in the first place. Also, it would force HK to finally make proper 15 round USP-C magazines, instead of having to either buy the 15rnd SK mags and fit a USP-C baseplate, or buy the 17rn conversion kits from HK Parts just to only use the follower and baseplate retainer to convert the USP-C mags yourself.

This thing doesn't do anything the VP9SK does outside of look like a Taurus, and maybe be a little slimmer. Something to compete with the P365, I guess.

Also, its not a USP with a Pic rail and an optics cut, BOOO!

Edit: I guess we can all pretend that a P2000 is a Glock 19 sized P30 (I mean, it mostly is, minus the grip), so they can use that excuse not to make a P30 Compact, but not so much for the VP9.

They've been on sale for months on end here to the point where shops can't get rid of their shit in 9x19, .40, or .45, I think their reputation took a major hit after the coof when everyone's ammo was rushed out the factory. I've got no opinions but I've heard they were occasionally crap.
praying for u rn

I have a case of Blazer .45 that my FNX absolutely hates, as it seems a bit underpowered, even for Blazer.
I would never had bought it if it was actually labeled as Blazer Brass, and not "CCI Independence Bulk". Should have known better, but I was blinded by the price.

piece of tape is used to cover parts of the fiber optic.

RX series (RX-01, et c), SRS, and the dual illumination RMR are functionally an ACOG (sort of) as an unmagnified red-dot. the whole "advanced combat optical gunsight" sort of implies some level of magnification with a reticle that allows ranging and acquisition/PID with minimal adjustment for the shooter.

The whole 6.8 cartridge and NGSW program should die already. Just adopt the MCX in 5.56 as the next M5 carbine

Why? If they're going to stick to 5.56, there's no reason to drop the M4 when there are a billion of them already in service. Unless they're going to issue a suppressor to literally everyone, the only benefit the MCX offers is ambi controls, and there are plenty of AR lowers they could choose from instead.

IIRC making a suppressor standard is part of the plan. Though I'm sure they can do that without having to adopt a new rifle.

I guess that is a red dot in a nutshell but they have some sort of method for shooting at close quarters with an ACOG.

Occluding the objective with a flip cap really makes close shooting easy as long as your eyes aren’t fucked up.

Trijicon makes a wide variety of ACOG models, from the 1.5x compact model all the way up to the 6x DMR/GPMG model. And every model comes with a wide variety of reticles for 5.56x45mm, .300 Blk, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x51mm. I believe the 1.5x and 2x compact ACOGs even have a more generic cross hair style reticle that have no BDC hashmarks better suited for close quarters shooting with a subgun or PCC, since those types of weapons aren't typically used for engaging targets at longer ranges, so compensating for bullet drop isn't a concern.

I've actually been considering getting either a 3.5x or 4x ACOG for my MWS308 and putting it on a quick change mount that will retain zero when removed and replaced so that I can swap the Aimpoint Comp M4 for it when I want magnification. I do have a second upper for it that has an Elcan Spectre TR scope that I plan on building up as a DMR with a 20" barrel for when I really want longer range, but I wouldn't mind being able to have magnification on the primary upper without the extra weight of a magnifier and having bullet drop compensation.

Sounds like you should run an acog with an offset mini red dot.

@Romulus augustulus A b5 would be my second pick since that’s actually combat proven, the UBR looks all fancy and new and I’m sexually attracted to it. A b5 would be better since I could have a cheek weld on the adjustable portion of the stock instead of the static buffer tube portion.

What’s going to be better for multifaceted use? A Steiner or an Acog or Vortex? I’ll be using this rifle for hunting next season just to get some field training with it outside of the range. What kind of reticle did your Steiner use? Best case scenario I can find something like range finder reticle to line up a target and gauge the distance up to 600 yards.

What is your distance you plan on shooting this rifle?

I recommend a 2 point sling for a gun that long, but if you think you want a single point, then get a 2 point to single point convertible so you can try both without having to buy different slings. Blue Force gear is fine.

I would shoot as is before changing anything. You can get a rail wrap like a Wise Men Company “Hot Pocket” to mitigate heat on the front.

Also consider a white light if you plan to use this rifle seriously. And/or a IR Laser/Illuminator if you are getting night vision.

Make sure to get 10-20 spare magazines minimum.
 
With any luck I'll be taking my oldest to the range on Sunday and getting the optics on my Stacatto and FK Brno PSD zeroed. Also plan on taking the Mark 23, Browning BL-22, Buckmark, and possibly the S&W 57.
 
Checked my sun room front entry and saw another package from Firearms Direct Club even though I already received my shit a few days ago.
Opened up, and there was a second Holosun 4078)
Guess they fucked up my order, but I'm not too bent out of shape about it. Guess I need to get something to put it on, maybe time to build another Glock or get a decent .22 pistol.

Any suggestions for another gun with an RMR footprint?

I figure this might be of some interest to some of you people. Some guy has created a Youtube channel about the history of China's Peoples Liberation Army and why it preferred the SKS over the AK-47 in the 1950's.



 
i'm narrowing down the choice on MP5 optics to either a holosun 510c or a PA GLX2x on a low profile MI rail. i'm leaning towards the prism scope since it seems to be what i'd want from the mini acog while in an actually reasonable price range. this has been a harder call to make. the irons work so well that i don't want to replace them with a range tier red dot, maybe the 510c would work? the 507k on my dad's pistol is nice and clear. besides the sights i know for sure i'm going to put a KES tailhook brace on about a month from now.

also if nobody has mentioned it HKparts has magpul G17 and G19 magazines on clearance for about ten bucks each
