Lwrc skirmish sights FTW
KAC’s are the best if you can afford them. The magpul PRO’s are much better than the oem backups and are reasonably priced
@poorwithagat PASGT is heavier, protects against less threats, and doesn’t do suspicion harness well, doesn’t protect against TBI’s, and is much harder to attach other capabilities to
The leitner-wise (of lwrci) e-sites are supposed to be good to
The only advantage of the PASGT over the ACH is price, but ACH’s and equivalent contract helmets can be had for ~150
Garand Thumb recommends a cheap optic over quality irons cause he says they'll run you about the same price anyway and optics are superior.
I’m gonna have to disagree with him there
Irons are a staple to a good rifle
I disagree with him too, but I'm a nubcake. I plan to buy really nice flip irons first, then save up for a decent optic later.
I have a set of FAB defense tritium coming in soon, going to see how they work out.
I originally bought the magpuls for my cheap starter rifle, and I don't care for them, mostly because my old eyes won't focus correctly.
Volley sights or nothing...
I’m just saying at least get mbus sights before a vortex
Irons are gay tbh
And stand alone backups are outdated
Psych
Not when you’ve got a vortex crossfire that’ll break when you look at it funny
If you’re on a flat range go ahead ig
I remember him advocating for fixed front sight posts I think
My thought is, I've never had an optic fail on me, though most of them have been duty grade, but it's better to have a backup and know that it will hold zero than to not have it and have some wacky shit happen to your sight because the stars aligned.
I guess if your optic goes down, it's one less thing to worry about. Just flip up your back sight and go
Well use quality optics, and have other methods to aim your rifle, and then integrate backups into your other stuff
Have an acog on an offset mount with an rmr on top of it in case your main acog with rmr goes down
If everyone decided to stop being poor, we wouldn't have to even discuss it.
Just stop being poor *is* the answer
By the time you get to your enemy, your arms will be so big that they'll just get scared and run away
Some day I want to make enough money to afford nods and a laser, then probably never shoot it because ranges are only open at night for special events
Having land or knowing someone with land helps a lot.
I shoot under NODs the most with suppressed .22’s and crossbows, so I don’t piss of the neighbors
For people who actually shoot stuff for a living, do you reindex mags or use something like a dump pouch?
I've heard people say reindexing is bad, so I was curious
Depends on the mission set
Some places it’s a big no-no to leave mags behind, and I would never leave one in an overwatch position or hide. But FISH’n I drop them a lot
I was considering something like the trex arms dump pouch to throw mags into so I wouldn't have to drop them. I don't really have an endless supply after all
er maybe blueforce gear to avoid giving the tactical twink any money
I’ve got some roll up SSE bags, I don’t remember from who. Pockets are a real thing too
Some of my rifles I just run irons on them and some i have optics and backup irons just incase my optic get damaged. My Vz58 is just plain irons and i have spent so much time with that rifle that even out to 400 500 yards i can put rounds on target
It took me a while to get used to optics because I spent my entire childhood on irons, but once I finally did, I was much faster with optics
