Re: Good Red Dot and magnifier systems

I looked at that one also, but the Vortex kit was cheaper and I think the quality is as good. I'm not too concerned about distance shooting with this rig. They are going on a .223 build with a 16" bull barrel and I have another with a 20" SS barrel and Sightron scope. This one is going to...

Re: Good Red Dot and magnifier systems

I should have mentioned this was going on a 10.5 inch 300blk AR SBR, in the initial post. The magnifier would be used for supersonic at 100 yards or more, to punch paper just for fun. Or, maybe hunting out to max of 125 yards. The magnifier would be an as needed use. Hunting any animal further that,...

Re: Good Red Dot and magnifier systems

I have two of those Romeo5 XDR's. For those that don't know the DR part of the name stands for Dual Reticle. It can either be a dot, or a circle dot like an Eotech. Also it has "instant awake". You can leave it on to the setting of your liking and put it in your closet and it turns itself...

How do you like it? What do you not like about it? What do you use it for?

My use is range toy, home defense, and maybe hog hunting.

Re: Good Red Dot and magnifier systems

$425 for a magnifier, it better say Aimpoint on the side. Unless you are a special forces guy, use it daily for a living or someone else is buying it, why spend that much unless you want bragging rights about how much money you have? Go to Primaryarms.com and get a good magnifier for 1/3 the cost. ...

Re: Tuning suppressed sbr questions

Guessing everyone approves of my thought process for tuning? I am still waiting on my drop shipment of ammo to arrive. Should have been here Wednesday. After it is tuned, I will post groups for suppers and subs. I bought a variety of different ammo to see what the gun likes best. I am curious to se...

Good Red Dot and magnifier systems

I tried a search, but the terms were too common. I am still looking at the sig Romeo 5 xdr with Juliet 6x magnifier. The Sig red dot will run about $210. The magnifier will be about $425, before tax. Equals $635, before tax. What do you guys like for this price range? What red dot combo do you like ...

Re: Magazines – Lancer L5AWM .300BLK versus Magpul AR-15 300 BLK PMAG

TexasEric, I think the Lancer 20 round opaque 300 mags are what “ada” was having issues with. I’m interested in hearing how yours work. I thought it was the lancer 556 mags. Edit: I just re-read his post. You are correct. The only difference I can think of, is that I am running an American Defense ...
