      Red dot with illuminated reticle instead of prism?

      I did get a chance to look through a new eotech with the 65moa reticle in green and it was a big improvement but still fuzzier than id like. Guess thats a good thing for my wallet

      Red dot with illuminated reticle instead of prism?

      That primary arms looks promising. Based on the success Ive had with the vortex that seems like the same basic principle in the size im after. Looking to drop one on a ar9 that wouldn"t need magnified anyway. If i wanted to put one on a 5.56 any chance it works with a magnifier also?

      Red dot with illuminated reticle instead of prism?

      I do have a rural king. Ill swing by and check that out. Holosun dealer locator doesnt want to work for me and all the meprolight ones seem to be on the east coast. Just would like to actually look through one before buying. I was sorely disappointed and out more than couple bucks after buying...

      Red dot with illuminated reticle instead of prism?

      Any chance there are any southern Indiana shops that might stock either of these?

      Red dot with illuminated reticle instead of prism?

      Are there any of the reflex or red dot sized optics that have an illuminated reticle dot instead of the prism or holograph style? I apparently have an astigmatism and every red dot I've tried shows up as a starburst. I have found the vortex crossfire ii 1-4 to be a suitable replacement and will...

      Acog 1.5x16 (Baby cog')

      I have struggled with this and for the longest time didn't know why every reflex style sight looked fuzzy and could not produce the sight picture i was after. I do seem to get lost some in the nomenclature though. Are all reflex sights the prizm or hologram style with red dots being the short...

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      Pretty much jumped in over my head. The gun and load will hold under 1 moa at 100. When it doesnt its me and I know it. My groups are considerably better when i go out and shoot on the weekends than they are when I try to get trigger time in after a 12 hour day. I was able to have hits with...

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      I have been learning quickly, and the hard way, that what appears easy on paper is much more complicated in practice. I had painted the steel black and mounted it to a 4x8 sheet of osb board that was painted bright orange. The board was untouched for more rounds than i would like to openly admit...

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      None that I know of. That is what i am pushing myself for though with the thought that if i can master that competitions like redbrush would become easier. Maybe not. I have not been into the game long as punching paper or ringing steel used to have no appeal. I was strictly a hunter and shots...

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      Trying to shoot competitively at 500 to 1000. I agree that it doesnt take as much as one would think to hit at long range if the target is of adequate size but trying to hit a 12 inch target at a 1000 yards has been challenging to say the least when my crosshairs cover the majority of the target.

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      Is there any place in Indiana that stocks the majority of these where a guy can put hands on them and look through them to see what fits them best. I live in southern Indiana but will be taking a trip to michigan later this fall so if there ends up being some place that has these I can swing in...

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      I would really like to keep it in the 700 dollar range as my plan is to buy a second of the same design albeit with slightly less magnification to go on a 223 RPR so that i can become very familiar in their use and operation no matter which gun Im using. Havent completely settled on what...

      Intermediate to long range scope reccomendations

      Ive been searching for a scope to go on a RPR chambered in 308. Currently running a nikon m308 with the nikoplex reticle. Seems like a decent scope and has served me well for hunting but I have recently started punching paper and the nikoplex reticle is covering up the center of my target at a...

      300 black load

      Im loading cfe black. There doesnt seem to be much load info in any of the books as this is a fairly new powder and bullet. Hodgdons website shows starting load at around 20 grains and max compressed load of 22.5 under a 135 grain sierra. Im loading hornady 135 ftx. The 20 to 22 seemed high...
