    Nikon “Black” optics

    The problem with a bdc reticle is that conditions are always changing. Is it calibrated for a high and dry desert atmosphere, or humid lowlands?. The reticles are designed to be employed after your calculations have been made, and not clutter up your field of view with irrelevant aiming...

    Nikon “Black” optics

    I haven’t handled or shot one, but I’d expect some decent Japanese glass, batch testing as far as qc goes, good coatings and a perfectly serviceable scope for most applications outside of match shooting and duty applications. They have a very limited choice of reticles, and they don’t look to be...

    .224 Valkyrie

    If I'm shooting 800-1300 yards it'll be with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Under 800 the 5.56 will do just fine for me.

    Invest in a new AK..I’m hoping for some feedback please.

    So if you are investing are you looking to profit from long term increase in value, or do you mean "purchase"? If you're looking for an investment, go higher end, maybe an RPK. If looking to purchase, Arsenal.

    So....looks like NF is a B&T industry partner. Hello better firearms pricing.

    Agreed, the down side is the prevalence of things that need to be taken care of.

    Looks kinda cool, but only 10 mils of adjustment?

    What's the deal with Sig and their insistence on a high bore axis?

    FNX 45 Tactical.

    I dunno but for the price I’d shoot it.

    Help me decide!

    I'd like to shoot one, they look unbalanced like most of the weight is to the rear.

    Help me decide!

    Yeah, I get what you're saying. Ammo availability long term and a slightly higher price doesn't bother me, I'd just buy 5k over the course of the year and be set for quite a while. All good recommendations, and yeah my can is rated to 5.7...heck, I bet I could shoot 5.56 through it..it's a...

    Back up. Let me know your thoughts.

    Yep The budget scope model is to sell the lifetime warranty over the optic, make the scopes in China with a massive profit margin, and be able to afford to replace all of the defective units that get dumped into the market due to not being part of the qc process.

    Back up. Let me know your thoughts.

    Yep, I agree. $1700 is quite a hurdle for the recreational shooter. The reason NF won't come out with a line of optics below the SHV, is that the glass quality and durability absolutely have to be NF quality, and if you stripped away other features to get to the $300-500 range it wouldn't even...
