CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[MindfulMan]

Kaloo kalay no work today! We're cabbages and kings!

GM all. Coffee or die. Mag have consumed slightly more Crown than necessary, but not too much. Glad the turkeys slept in. How fare thee?

You talk a wild, unfiltered language, pilgrim....I like it !

Hadn't really intended to cowitness.

 

[MindfulMan]

That's why I've decided to wait till I can meet up with him

Smart ! ....Tarzan knows stuff !

 

[churchmouse]

Re-sleep. And you all went crazy....


At least all the trash talk stopped (G****'s)

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Managed to get my buddy's rifle all squared away. He had it mostly done already. Spent most of our time eating, drinking, and playing cards with the wives. Their God-daughter kept my girls entertained. I may or may not be partly responsible for his recent AR bug.

Sometimes, we tow the line, Big Chief !

Might consider it.

 

[MindfulMan]

Might consider it.

I concur....for me, lower 1/3 works best.

 

[wtburnette]

I'd always figured the popup sights were backups for if the red dot fails...

Or to Co-witness.
Just the fronts for me.

+1. Absolute CW is too busy for me. A little daylight 'tweener is the way to go.

WT FWIW, I loved my vmx-t. I may get another for the 10.5". They are rock solid and clear as a bell. Capable of both Ab & 1/3 cowitness.

Red dots on an AR are normally on a riser due to the AR's straight stock. The riser's height will determine whether it is at absolute or 1/3 co-witness with normal height iron sights.

Whether you install irons or not the red dot will be at one of the two heights unless you have a low mount meant for pistols or a rifle with drop at the heal of the stock like your annie. If you have a low mount a magnifier will not be able to line up with the red dot.

I'll leave the Micro off the mount and set it up with the right adapter for your setup at the range.

Here's my philosophy for a 'battle rifle', WT.

I've decided that I only need accuracy out to 200 yards......for in my environment (even at the cabin), that's the longest range that I'll encounter. Any farther than 200 yrs., I'll be running away, finding safe cover, or acquiring a longer range rifle.
I want the rifle to be ready NOW ! .....that means no fumbling with dials/knobs/buttons on an optic to put it into action.
Nowadays, they have the always-on (50,000 hours of battery life), or shake-awake dots.
For me, that's the ticket....and having one with a prism/etched reticle is optimum.
If the dot fails, I want iron sights that co-witness at lower 1/3.

Not saying that my philosophy works for everyone.....but it works for me.

 

[Biggredchev]

Not bad. I have ~8 PMAGS. I am a bit bummed I sold a buddy of mine half a dozen still in the wrapper a few years back.



Very nice deal. How do you like it? I have a decent Bushnell on my frankenrifle that I was thinking about swapping to my new battle build, but that looks pretty sweet.

I love it, been on his RDB for years with zero issues and we’ve both shot the hell out of it. Plus even if there was vortex has a great warranty. I like that you can pick between the red and green dot. Other than than not much else to say about it.

I dont run irons or magnifiers on this gun. Its only a 7.5” barrel so its not like its going to be accurate much past what i can expect out of the RDS anyway. LVPOs are sweet too, i like the Ascent but i plan on ordering a 1-6 or 1-8 strike eagle to try at some point.

 

[wtburnette]

Ha, I guess I have to do something, I just bought 3 overpriced boxes of .308

 

[ChrisK]

I run a Strike Eagle 1x8 on one of my AR's. Works extremely well for me. I also run a Aimpoint M2 on another. Like them both.

Must be twins-my sentiments exactly. I have a "grab n go" with romeo 5 for instant action. And an AT&T model for reaching out to tickle someone. There is no "one build does all"

Thats what is so good about a 1x8 optic, it is a pretty good compromise to cover many situations.

 

[ChrisK]

I must give a shout out to GMCTTR... I received the 3 CZ97 mags he ordered for me. Reed is one of the reasons this thread is as great as it is. Thank You Sir!!!

 

[gmcttr]

You're most welcome. Glad I could help.
