Came across this fella hanging out in a tree on a trail earlier today.

 

[WebSnyper]

but I am a picky f'er.

I've been accused of that on occasion as well, thought I'm not as far down the road on that path as you from the few toys I've seen you bring to gatherings.

 

[DadSmith]

Just a couple. There are some that claim Arken is better than scopes twice their price. I have no clue but in a budget scope (under $500) they seem to me to be a good value.



I like this reviewer (@T-DOGG led me to him) and this is an older review of a scope like mine but without the Japanese glass.

If you get an Arken make sure you watch a couple of videos on setting up the turrets.

I'm pretty much sold on these.
I've looked around for personal reviews on different forums and Guntube, online reviews from different stores, and the overall rating is 4.5☆ out of 5 or better.
There are a few bad reviews but some of those are people that have no clue how a scope works IMO. Some are definitely legitimate complaints, possibly lemons, but it looks like Arken made it right with those who reached out to them.

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the EPL4 with the VPR MOA reticle.
Does anyone have any opinion on which MOA reticle is better VPR or VHR?

 

[bcannon]

Thanks, appreciate that. Let me think about it. I'm also discussing a couple of optics with Allen as well.
What size dot does your Eotech have? I see they come with either 3 or 6 MOA on those (?)

I'm not sure, I'll have to look.

I had an old female black rat snake that lived around here for years.
She was around 8 feet long which is huge for even females. She was around for close to 10 years.
I think she died because I no longer see here in her usual spots. The longer the females are the older they are.
She got rid of all kinds of rodents, and birds making nests in my carport. I miss her taking care of that problem this year.

I have the VPR in mil on mine and would be happy to try and get together and let you take a look.

 

[ChrisK]

I'm convinced that you, Bandit, and Tarzan have ALL of the best toys !
(I do like Eotech products)

I also live vicariously through them. My collection is no where near theirs.

I've seen you consistently bang that 85 yd. steel with your new fancy pistola !

Yep...black rat snakes are amazing climbers and very beneficial on ones property.

I don’t have that exact X5 mag but I have a number of Mec-Gar MGP22618AFC mags that are excellent.

The 226 rocks.

Was hot out there, but spent a few minutes zeroing the 226's optic. Yep, liking this.

That said metal frame guns get hot in the sun. Who knew?


Now I need to get on Greg Cote or possibly Lanbo's and order some mags and I need to figure out an optic for the 229.

I forgot to try the 226 mags in the 229 to confirm function as someone was trying to get in the bay as I was packing up.

226 mags work in mine, I have quite a few different types.
Just shot it today with 226 mags as I just have a few 229 mags and they got left behind or are loaded with SD ammo.

 

[ditcherman]

I have a Eotech E-FLX not being used atm if you're interested.

Hmmm I'm surprised after my review of them. After they come back from warranty work they seem to be holding up now though.

I tried it on my Prodigy and had no issues but I liked my DPP more so it just sits now.

 

[WebSnyper]

I also have the Holosun 507c that is currently on my Echelon that I could mount on the 229 using one of these https://chpws.com/product/sig-p226-...sun-407c-507c-508c-508t/?avad=55097_c3bbb3b31

And could save me a few bucks on an optic.


Probably going to list my Echelon now that I'm planning to use one or both of these Sigs as my steel gun.

Can't direct mount it?

 

[WebSnyper]

Can't direct mount it?

My understanding is that even though the newer Sig slides have RMR holes drilled that a filler plate is needed to fill the gaps from the DPP footprint to the RMR footprint.

The Sig P220, P229 and 226 are classics. They’ve been around for so long. I remember when my dad was a police officer he would talk so highly of these pistols, as if they were the best of the best. I love the Sig P220, P229, and 226 series, I’m partial to the .45. There’s something about an all...

Wild to watch them climb a tree that size, isn't it?
