No it's relevant. Determine emergency scenarios in order of likelihood and plan for them. Whether it's a fire, flood, or burglar.

If I hear glass break, I'm not grabbing the first aid kit, I'm grabbing the home defense kit.
There's a kit and plan for fire
One for defense
One for bugging out
One for bugging in
Stuff depending on where I'm going

Could not be more relevant

The kit I shared a glimpse of is a raid kit. Short, going somewhere to do something specific type kit. It's not where I want it yet, but if it came down to it, I could make it work.

I'd probably say kits in order of importance, there may be more
First aid
Natural disaster / fire
EDC (concealed carry, tq, knife or shears, etc.)
Common home defense
Get home kit
Bug out kit (you're probably not defending your home from the feds for very long, they won't stop until you're dead)
Mission specific stuff that we do not talk about in this server.

If you're like most people, your mission, as Varg Freeborn would put it, is to get home alive to your loving family. If something matters more than that, then you know exactly why it matters more than that.

Now that I'm living in the country "bugging out" over a disaster is less likely we are shifting to a bug in/prepper mindset now. I have plate carriers for my wife and I and in between them is a shoulder bag with 300 rounds of softpoint 5.56 once we get completely done with this move and our chicken gardening projects I can focus one what role I can make our former bugout bags serve

Sounds like you've got your equipment more or less sorted away. More ammo and preserved food is always good. Might be good to start looking at fortifying your house. Feds like to toss stuff through your windows like flashbangs but they make vandal resistant windows. Stuff like installing better screws in your entry doors and other things to keep them from being bashed down. Motion detecting outdoor lights. Wireless security system like simplisafe

applies to vagrants and mad max crazies as well

My house is brick on a concrete slab I'm going to replace my door sunday I always reinforce the frames and run 3 inch deck screws all around the frame did that for my gun room. Cameras with motion lights are also on my
list. I've had ADT for years planning on having it moved to my new place

I've been buying/loading/building guns and ammo for a decade I'm in decent shape on ammo we have emergency food but wee need more

Nice

You're in much better shape than I am then lol, granted I'm just starting my career

I'm at the apex of my career been working on the same contract for a decade finally got to use my tech diploma and I have one of the highest paying jobs on the contract

Awesome. I'm right at entry level IT, but things are looking up

Watching 9 hole reviews put the type 56 sks through the service rifle course and its not doing well the Chinese AK actually shot better not surprising as tilting block rifles don't have as consistent of lockup as a rotating bolt

Shotgun or rifle for black bear defense?

Any of you fuckers know of any good deals on a red dot? Trying to find a holographic or prism sight because my eyes kinda suck. Trying to keep right at or under 400$

Im using a strike eagle now and am disappointed with the glass quality and can not understand why it gets such good reviews

You could get a little Bushnell or something for like 100. And really? I love my Strike Eagle

Mine is nice and clear

My 120$ crossfire 2-7 had better glass

Like much better.

Well, my next recce optic is gonna be the Primary Arms 1-6 or 1-8 in ACSS

I wanna learn to make my own iron sights n scopes,

Im not liking the lvpos at all

I used iorn sights for 10+ years and have been debating on going back to them.

Nah, screw that. I get people that like them, and I can use them. But I like optics as a force multiplier.

It’s about playing around and finding what you like

I like my eotech over my Red dot MRO

I like my LVPO on my g3

And I’m digging my new ACOG

@dreadnokboi lmao make your own scopes

@Phill I’ll sell you an MRO on a geiselle 1.93” Mount for $400

I've had good luck with the sog romeo 5 they come with an AR height mount for 150 st primary arms

I like being able to make wat I can buy, or make a more custom piece

@Phill that’s a deal from @Crye_Salesman and I actually like the Vortex sparc AR

It’s under $200

Primary arms makes great prism scopes and their acss reticle options are top notch

@dreadnokboi I don’t think you really understand how optics work man

Faintly

Does primary arms make a non magnified prism scope?

I normally fired wit irons, not a fan of sights cuz I wear glasses,

Irons might be possible but you better get yourself a couple engineering degrees real quick if you think you're gonna make functional optica

I still prefer irons.

IRONS ARE GAY

It’s fucking 2020

Jesus Christ

Opinions man.

Too bad this isnt out

I prefer teaching irons. People who never learned irons are like new motorcycle riders that never learned to ride a bicycle.

Wrong. Optical sights are faster, more accurate, and have more capabilities. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fucking fact 😘

I lik kobra rds, ngl

I use optics, but I still prefer irons. I’m not saying I’m correct. I’m stating my opinion. 😂😂

@Crye_Salesman 😘

Kobra is stupid, there’s a gap where he fucking reticle *should* be

@Crye_Salesman the ones that are faster are not more accurate and the ones that are more accurate are not faster, generally.

@American_AF I know, I’m just hoes mad about guns all of the times

It's just on backorder Phil

@Ballsdini wrong. But ok

Cheaper than eotech too

Sorry sig romeo 5

Im always cool with a good debate. As long as people don’t get all butthurt.

Oh, good to know. Ive learned something 🤣

This holo is out of stock here as well. https://www.primaryarms.com/vortex-optics-razor-amg-uh-1-holographic-sight-ebr-cqb-reticle

I hate the look of the huey, but I hear it's a pretty good optic.

It's good

looks wonky but it's an absolute tank. Only thing bad I have to say about it is that the glass has a blue tint, but it's still very clear. The battery life sucks because it's a holosight, but it still blows eotech out of the water on every single feature.

1) focal planes. Irons require the use of 3 focal planes. An optic only needs one to function. So it’s faster, all of the times.
2) threat focus. Because red dots give you a single focal plane, you’re always looking at the target and environment, not so dumb pierce of metal next to your hand
3) size of aiming point over target. Typical red dot is 2 MOA, typical front sight post is like, 10. You do the math.
4) low light capability. Irons don’t work without light at multiple focal planes. Red dots always work.
5) NVG compatibly. Can’t see irons through your tubes.

Burris prism vs primary arms?

Shit. I have a $150 red dot on a $2000+ rifle.
Yeah, I’m that guy.

Both look good

Definitely primary arms over Burris

@American_AF Same dude, hahaha

I have a $300 red dot and magnifier package on a 1200 rifle XD

That above was more at @Ballsdini so I wasn’t just being a dick

I found the primary arms 1x with the good reticle, just takes the shitty button batteries.

I don’t even know the brand of the red dot on my DD

Most smaller red dots do, doesn’t matter

I would still recommend an aimpoint or trijicon over the huey due to battery life though. Both are sort of fire and forget, but the huey actually needs its battery changed every once in a while

Was hoping to find one that ran on AAA

Yeah, I think the next time I get a red dot, I'll get one that runs off of AAA or AA. Like those expensive ass Aimpoints

Maybe save up for a Comp M5

Aimpoint Comp M’s are the only ones hat run off AAA that I know of

Vortex Sparc AR is great for the money. And takes a AAA

The primary arms fixed power optics are all good. I've been using a gen 2 1-6 acss for several years landed on it when I went over a wall st tiger valley 2017 still working well BDC is dead on with 55 grain and exactly 100 yards off with prvi 75 grain range 4 hold 5 you'll get hits all day

I’ve been digging Vortex recently

I’ve broken a few of those - the sparc

Primary arms makes one but i cant fins it for sals

rule of thumb is anything that says vortex without razor next to it is only good at a range

Sig makes a dot that runs on AAs

Looking for a prism not a dot is my issue

which is totally fine if you just shoot for fun

I’m fucking *cringing* internally, but it does appear that the newer holosuns are more robust than the other budget options

Does any company make an optic that works in meters? Instead of gay ass yards?

Yes like most of them lol

Holosun is king of affordable dot sights

@Crye_Salesman ive got a holosun on my beater, pretty solid

I’m yet to. But I’m pretty easy on my optics.

Okay, because everything I look at online, always likes to give yards
