I have a Doctor optics mounted on my ACOG.

It's awesome to have both the 4X and red dot on the same optic.

Once the budget clears up I want to mount one on my G17

 

[jclark]

Seriously?

So my ACOG is for bolt actions?

Come on buddy, almost every AR in the armed forces is mounted with an EOTech, Aimpoint, Some Israeli thing or ACOG. And they seem to do okay.

My father in law survived two tours in Viet Nam and never had a gay scope on his rifle.
Besides, with the price of an ACOG, I'll just buy another AR!

Did you see that Obama officially endorsed the mosque near Ground Zero?

He will probably commute there daily to pray when it gets built

Well, got all my stuff piled in the living room to load in the truck in the morning for Crosley. I'm gonna get outta here for the night cuz I'll be getting up early. It's a little bit of a drive for me.

Nite folks!

Yes. I think the stupid sheeple let a Trojan Horse in.

 

[BloodEclipse]

I'm gonna try out one of those on my Mossy tomorrow. Its an ultra el-cheapo though.

I have heard that the el-cheapos don't hold up well to recoil.

I'm sure the families of those 2974 murdered wouldn't share his sentiments.

My thinking exactly. For the price of one of the real high quality optics that are actually worth putting on there, I could buy another gun or a whole lot of ammo. IMO field of vision suffers some with scopes or red dots. You can only see what you see through the optic. Someone could be close and sneaking in from the side and you'd have more trouble catching them in your periphial vision than if you were just running irons. And then you gotta search around for them to find them. For a battle rifle I'll just stick to irons. Long range I'll grab something with a scope

Sorry SE but if I were going to buy a truck it would be a 4x4. Plus I'm selling this stuff to pay off a credit card so I can get a car loan easier to buy a newer car off of a friend of mine.

Actually... it IS 4x4. Extended cab too.... Bench seat front and back. You know what that's good for!

I have heard that the el-cheapos don't hold up well to recoil.

No, they don't. When it comes to ANY optics, one thing I've learned is you truly, honestly get what you pay for.

I'm trying to stop drinking diet drinks after I found out what the aspartame does to your body over long periods of time. After I finish up what I've got I'm not buying anymore. I'll just drink other low carb alternatives. Like lately at work I've been drinking alot of Gatorade G2 or Powerade Zero along with water. But then on break I'll have a Pepsi throwback, or Mt Dew throwback. I'm sure the real sugar is better than the high fructose corn syrup anyways.

Coke Zero contains no aspartame, it has Splendid which is derived from sugar.

you silly little boys and your silly little rifles! why dont you grow a pair and grab a shotgun.

Well that's better than 2x4. But its still an autotragic trans, and a bad on at that. I'll stick to my manuals. If I didn't need the money to pay off the credit card so i can get the loan easier, I'd think about it.

Long range I'll grab something with a scope

But how long do you want that scope to zero?

Oh I've got shotguns too! But with my silly little rifle I've got a better accuracy range and more capacity than you

Because these get pricey!!

The BSA on my 30-06 is zeroed for 200 yards. And I know the drop of my ammo all the way out to 800 yards. And with it being a Mil dot that helps even more. And if you are talking about how well it'll hold zero. Well it's held so far just fine and that was with using it hunting last summer for deer control permits and lowering and raising it up and down out of the treestand.

Actually I can shoot both eyes open with my holographic which opens my field of view.
Try as I might I haven't been able to do that with iron sights.
