Hey, your sponsored athletes need to hear this message! I am dipping my toes into the Tactical Games and I asked one what entry level optic to get and they said "the Razor 1-10 LVPO! It's what I use! Its great!" While I am sure it is great, I am not going to sell a kidney afford one so i can use it once and decide "Yeah, TTG isn't for me".

No one ever uses the full jack of all trades' quotes. It's almost used in a negative context. Its original phrasing i believe goes as follows, " A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one." Also, a ten minute talk idea for yah. let's hear Ryan go off on monolithics vs. bonded vs. cup and core. I know Ryan is an avid Barnes user ( as am I ), so i think the topic would be fun to hear his pros and cons and maybe what cartridges lend themself well to monos, etc. Would be quite amazing to invite a barnes Ballistic expert to join the podcast. Cheers from Alberta Canada

I have astigmatism and red dots look a bit like supernovae to me. Eotech's holographic sight, while pricey, has been the best option as the 1 MOA dot doesn't really distort. I just threw on a MOE SL-S stock so I can store 6 spare CR123 batteries.

Been all over the spectrum when it comes to optics for my AR. red dots, holos, magnifiers, prisms, lpvos. All of my rifles are set up with some sort of lpvo on it. Its just so universal and once you train for its little quirks with close range acquisition, it literally does everything.

Little tip for a stigmatism and red dots. I didn't use them because of it. But I found out playing with them that if you mount it close as you can to your eye "opposite of what people without do" and you get one with the most brightness settings you can and run it at the lowest level you can use it in the lighting conditions you're in, the dot will appear much better than mounting "normally" and cranking the brightness up. That's worked for me on a couple red dots I've used.

Strictly talking sighting systems: I recently had to make this decision for my "go to" GP rifle, and what made my decision relatively simple was #1) my budget, and #2) my philosophy of use: *Mostly home defense with most, likely engagements 200m and in.* And what I ended up with was an AR15 with back up irons, a Vortex Crossfire (to be upgraded in the future), and a near-future purchase of a Vortex VMX-3T magnifier (also tbu when appropriate) Btw, in case you guys missed it, we seem to be having a little trouble with "Chi-Com balloon flyovers," lately, carrying some strange arrays beneath them. Now, if any of those were to deliver an EMP, everything "electronic" will become paperweights--Including even *expensive* electronic sighting systems. So, I highly recommend on not relying on them as the sole sighting systems for your firearms. Food for thought

I'm glad to see someone actually bring up the most important point here. If you have a rifle that shoots terribly with hunting ammo, But great with match ammo, well I'd rather put a less than ideal bullet in the right place than the right bullet in the wrong place. Of course I'd rather use the right bullet but sometimes that isn't an option. When I got my 6.5 Grendel the only ammo available at the time was a handful of boxes of SST and plenty of eldm. It shot .5 MOA with the eldm and nearly 5 MOA with SST. At that. Moment I would 1000% choose the eldm over the SST

Red dots can be cheap, holographics can't, but red dots can also be very expensive, and holgraphics don't tend to be. Personally I can't recommend an EOTech to a new shooter, I'd recommend a T2 copy like a Crossfire to get them in the game, but i do really love my EXPS3. I wish I would have gotten the -2 reticle in case anyone reads this, I got the -0 because I was impatient.

Red dots are good for me at age 60, but prism optics are better for my father at age 80, with astigmatism. I have Strikefire and Spitfire and Sparc models for general purpose, and magnified to reach out further.

It would be nice if you would make an enclosed red dot that'll fit on top of the 5x prism. Something in the format of the Steiner MPS, with a cr2032 battery on top and a nice big window, good nv settings, better styling.

That's what I want to hear. I would break it down by range. Start basic and move forward. I would swap my irons to flip up ladders. Give my current budget red dot to kid for airsoft gun. I am saving for a thermal scope. Thought about a magnifier, but on a budget. Like having dead horses in an engine. Untapped horse power.

Red dot for CQB battle/home defense. LVPO for identifying targets at distance or a precise shot. For LVPO get an etched reticle. Why aren’t red dot etched reticles for safety when the battery dies, you at least have a black dot.
@benkeachy
@benkeachy Год назад
They don't work like a typical scope. I may understand this incorrectly, but I believe you'd have the red dot floating around separately from the fixed etched ret. A red dot doesn't require a cheek weld, there is no front and back post if you will. A fixed reticle requires your eye be in a constant, fixed position to work.
