Guns and Ammo Thread

[JTP$]

Most of the ammo is being limited now im seeing. Mostly bulk sales . Shot the 300 and 308 today. Way off on the 308. Was shooting around 250 yards. Im rbc is high and i have trouble being still. Couldnt get my breathing right. Horrible grouping. I was much more accurate with the bolt 300 than the AR 10. The stock on the AR just isnt long enough for me to get comfortable. It sure looks nice though.

Also not tryin to knock vortex but it doesnt come close to zeiss glass

nice rifle man, what are the specs on it?

That's the way I feel about Leupold. I'll look at Swarovski ( waaay overpriced IMHO), Vortex, etc. and think it's pretty good, but then when I look through a Leupold, I'm sold on Leupold.

i have a limited knowledge of optics, but the few that i have are mostly ACOG.

Zeiss is good glass. I'm partial to Leupold. Swarovski is overrated IMHO.

Trijicon ACOG are durable and well worth the price. For those that don't want to shell out the $$ for Triji, Primary Arms make decent lower end scopes if you're looking for something with a decent horseshoe 5.56 or 7.62: BDC reticle.

ive heard good things about leupold, but nothing about zeiss or swarovski. the reliability of ACOG is what really got me interested in them though, plus the photovoltaic strip for never ending reticle illumination and the clarity of glass is perfect.

The acog is on my list of scopes to own. I have a trij reflex on my 5.56 but i dont like the amber reticle. Id rather it be green. I dont own a leupold yet but i do own zeiss swarovski and vortex and zeiss is my favorite of the three.

Nothing fancy at all. .308 16” barrel. Just a diamondback upper and lower magpul grips stock and bipod, ultradyne brake, 4-14 x44 vortex viper scope. Vortex one piece base which is overpriced imo wouldnt rebuy it.

Nice. I bought a cheap scope to throw on my rifle when I bought it. Need to upgrade mine. I'm looking at leupold or acog. Have a buddy that owns a gun store and gets me good deals.

He also has a website for ammo and can usually find or already stocks some hard to find srifd if you guys ever have need.

Here's my cowardly ar. Just a plain Jane right now with the cheap scope. lol

Also the 12g bulldog I picked up a couple months ago. Added a forward grip light for night time intruders.

Yeah I had my rails put on when I bought the rifle. I think i got those for about 50 bucks. The rifle is an american tactical brand i think.

Not sure I'm crazy about that forward grip. It's rather large, but it has a bipod that pops out so that's cool.

I have a forward grip but I took it off just got in my way seemed.

I switched over to an angled foregrip on one of mine. Much easier for me to transition to pistol. Probably end up switching all of them except the 20".

you really cant go wrong with acogs, only potential drawback being fixed magnification. the simplicity is what adds to the reliability and makes them more of a combat optic than marksmanship. one thing to keep in mind though is that the TA 31 has a very limited eye relief which is fine for 5.56, but it may be a problem for .308

ill have to look into these other options of brands and models for my other rifles. i think a good quality 20x optic would be alot of fun

im unfamiliar with diamond back, but good quality, less expensive brands are always a good choice with firearms. no need to spend $8,000 on an HK MR762 when you can get something equivalent for considerably less money.

I have a fixed 4x on my crossbow and it doenst really bother me to bad. I want the acog with the holographic red dot mounted on top for quick target acquisition along with the main optic for precision. And the 308 with a big brake really isnt much recoil I think an acog would be fine
