CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[churchmouse]

Stay too long in the political section again?

Hard to avoid.

 

[MindfulMan]

Seal team comes on in 5 minutes.

Is Bravo 1 retiring for good ? ... that is the question !

 

[SarahG]

Hard to avoid.

Want me to wrangle 'em for you?

If i based the value of my stuff on Armslist prices i could pay off my mortgage for 2 Glocks, a saint, and 3000 rounds of 9...

Anyone heard of the Rare Breed FRT? It’s an interesting concept and the first one that I think would have trouble being banned by the BATFE. It allows a faster rate of fire similar to a binary trigger but simply by forcing the reset. So, you are truly getting a single round per trigger pull.

The feds could screw up the bump stock legality and I am sure that eventually, they’ll do the same with binary triggers because both are significant departures from the norm. The FRT just forces the reset so you are actually pulling the trigger faster. Not Spicey fast but faster than I can pull one.

Now, having said all of that, I’m guessing that the BATFEIOU will deem this to be against the kings sensibilities and it will be banished to nether regions.

Interesting concept though.

Very interesting. As a person with a turtle speed trigger finger, I would be interested in trying it out!

Binge watching the "Mandalorian"

Haven't seen a single episode yet. It's on the list

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

If you have a request for SGE, you can just say it out loud. Its okay, we're all friends here.

Ballistic helmets and banana hammocks for all!

I think with choosing an optic, you really have to break it down into groups first, basically process of elimination. The problem is each group is it's own conquest. And honestly, I get hung up on the very first question I ask myself, ALOT. The rest aren't necessarily in order, just thinking of them as I go.

1) What goal do I want to accomplish? Hunt, CQB, 3 gun, long range precision, shoot for small groups at XXX distance, etc.
2) What is my ACTUAL budget? How much am I REALLY willing to spend?
3) Do I want a magnified optic?
4) Do I have issues with astigmatism?
5) Do I need "duty ready"? Am I "going to war" with this optic?
6) Does weight matter?
7) Does size matter?
8) Do I want a variable or fixed power scope?
9) If a variable power scope is decided, do I want FFP or SFP?
10) Is this going on a hard recoiling rifle?
11) Do I need illumination?
12) What kind of reticle do I want?
13) For distance, do I plan on dialing in with turrets or using the reticle to hold?
14) How is the glass, will my eyes do well with it?
15) Does eye relief matter?
16) Does the color of the optic go with my rifle and mount?
17) Will I look cool LARPing with this optic? (Live Action Role Play for you old dudes and no, I don't do this myself )

Allow me to simplify this for you. Buying optics is easy, you just try to make it complicated. All guns are for war, when war breaks out. All guns have a purpose, and it’s based on distance.
KJ’s guide to optics choice

1.) How far will this gun shoot MF’s?
2.) Choose optic according. To rule # 1.
3.) Decide what you can afford, then buy something better, and never look back.
3.) Shoot gun.

Buy once, cry once is a real thing.

KJ really is my Silver Fox.

Just giving you a hard time Carlos. You enjoy the hunt, I get it.

 

[SarahG]

I like the optic picking method of:

1) Shoot someone else’s gun
2) Decide I like optic
3) Buy it

I likely need a more refined process.

Oh I know. But, I'm not looking for optics right now. Well, I also haven't read the Long Range Shooting book yet, so that could always change.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I've been known to swap optics like underwear. I'm fickle, and this doesn't help my wallet.

Ooooo, shiny.....

I've swapped optics around more times than CM has drove to AllenM's place.
