First red dot....

[paul73]

I was figuring I should just get a decent red dot. Was also contemplating an LPVO

an LPVO or a prism. anything without a battery is better than anything that needs a power source, on a rifle.

That's why the US Army doesn't use any optics which require batteries.

He’s just trolling now. Let’s not shit up OP’s thread too badly doing mental gymnastics with strangers.

I was done with the thread back on post #98. You guys can continue your circle jerk. Just clean up after yourselves. The mop's in the corner.

On a side note, Did my $520 rifle just become a $1000 rifle by use of creative inverse gun math when I put the Eotech on it?

AM I FINALLY AN OPERATOR DAD?

Wait, you believe in redundancy but not checking your equipment before you leave

 

[allen-1]

There are three core components to value in every purchase - quality, service and price. You can only pick two.

Sign on the wall of Danny’s tattoo shop years ago in bridgeport ct - fast, good, cheap - pick two

It’s not a larpers fantasy, it’s good planning, preparation and having a contingency plan.

You may not think it’s necessary and for your case it may not be, but that doesn’t make anyone who thinks differently a larper.

I would bet that only 1% of gun owners actually practice to the point they can be proficient in a gun fight. And chances are they will never be in one (not counting military).

I am all about backups, but I agree with a lot of the points here.

I found it specially funny when people talk about being prepared but are called out for not checking their batteries. If people think being prepared is having a backup sight on a cheap rifle, they are part of the 99%.

If the world is ever in a state where you need to go outside your house with a rifle, most of NES won't last a week, probably won't even get to fire a shot.

If WW3 kicks off, the only thing I don't want to be is a survivor. Hook me up to one of the minute man rockets, I want to go out like Kong from Doc Strangelove.

Only if you add "NIB" to the post and a long bullet point list of everything you want to force the buyer to purchase.

Shit, I'm gonna have to lower the price then.... "wife" is on that list.

The answer is more than one rifle duh

 

[Agnotology]

The answer is more than one rifle duh

The question is "how many rifles?"

The answer is "yes."

 

[CMEBoston]

Yup it’s an addiction

When I was into the sport and was poorer than I am now I built a bunch of sub $500 rifles just cause.
They all ran fine hell I did a carbine shoot with one of them and had no issues through the 400 rounds it took to do the course.
I also learned during that course it’s incredibly difficult to hit a 6” plate 10 yards away with A2 irons (the holdover is high enough that you can’t even see the target)

you can turn rifle in a horizontal plane ghetto style to see under irons. they did not show that?

Nope they was at a basic carbine shoot with a bunch of larpers

They just laughed at me for shooting irons
I know now though thank you

The A2 irons are 2.6” height over bore. If you’re trying to bullseye, yeah it could be a challenge, but just hitting the general area of the plate center shouldn’t have been difficult. Aim for the top edge of the plate and send it.

Since if you guys have learned anything about me, its that I'm not above poking fun at myself

I just spent 10 minutes cussing and getting angry thinking I got sent a broken Eotech and scammed.....

My dumbass was looking from the wrong end.

There have been several pictures of police officers with Eotechs mounted backwards on their rifles.

I’m not too worried if my place gets raided…

Hope any lasers are facing backwards also…

Hey sarge, I’m blind… all I see is green/red… now what?

3 crimison trace dots for 99.99 on psa right now

I once fought a woman I felt perfectly comfortable assuming was a guy at first over the last bag of Peirogis at Barstow's. That count as combat? She was big and butch.

Did you win?

 

[Agnotology]

Did you win?

No. She got the pierogies. Along with my man card.

Now you're married?

 

[Agnotology]

Now you're married?

No no, been with my wife for.... way too f***ing long. Most people upgrade models every 5 to 7 years, meanwhile I'm 35 still rocking what I bought brand new in 2005.

I was the only one shooting irons at my Sig Rifle 102 class. I just hadn't gotten around to getting an optic for it.

Is the Eotech ambidextrous? Never tried looking through the wrong end.

Or just pull out your sidearm at 10 yards. Even I can hit that.
