Anyone have experience with 5.11 plate carriers

2020-05-04 19:21:52 UTC  

ah lovely, apparently mil reticle + moa turrets = mind numbing algebra. Going to avoid that

2020-05-04 19:28:38 UTC  

Now for people to work on improving the design

2020-05-04 19:50:51 UTC  

Ever look at guns you're considering buying and wonder how they can be so different?

2020-05-04 19:51:01 UTC  

In this case an Enfield, and a KSG

2020-05-04 19:58:31 UTC  

Oh yeah you don’t want mil reticle and MOA turrets, I ran a DMR like that for a deployment. Many math.
There isn’t any actual difference between mil and MOA, it’s the gun equivalent of inches vs centimeters

2020-05-04 19:59:02 UTC  

I like the idea of mil, it sounds easier to gauge distances with

2020-05-04 19:59:19 UTC  

which would be nice if anyone made one

2020-05-04 20:01:10 UTC  

The only company I've found so far that makes mil dot scopes with mil adjustments is vortex

2020-05-04 20:07:23 UTC  

Idk where your looking but there’s just as many mil scopes as MOA

2020-05-04 20:07:28 UTC  

So I just got back and ended up doin 9 miles. Did any of you lazy fuckers go with me?

2020-05-04 20:07:43 UTC  

I'm seeing a ton of scopes with mildots but moa turrets

2020-05-04 20:09:05 UTC  

I did 5.6

2020-05-04 20:09:12 UTC  

@Artemis are you looking at the Internet from 2012? 🤨

2020-05-04 20:09:18 UTC  

I got a vortex gen 1 pst 4-16x ffp for $350 and I love it

2020-05-04 20:09:31 UTC  

Yeah, I was dummy and got me a scope with moa turrets and mildots on it. It was big dumb.

2020-05-04 20:09:55 UTC  

So once I have my zero, I will only be using mildots. Thank god I'm not a sniper.

2020-05-04 20:12:49 UTC  

I'm looking at trijicon, leupold, and nightforce primarily. All three don't seem to make a single scope with mrad adjustments

2020-05-04 20:13:10 UTC  

They have mil reticles, but not adjustments

2020-05-04 20:13:20 UTC  

If you are gonna get a Mildot scope I'd reccomend 1st focal plane so you can actually make range estimations with it

2020-05-04 20:14:30 UTC  

I promise nightforce and trij do.

2020-05-04 20:14:41 UTC  

Idk about leupold but they should

2020-05-04 20:15:21 UTC  

You can do range est with both but with 2nd fp you have to be at max magnification

2020-05-04 20:30:55 UTC  

I've found one that looks like it fits my requirements. The nightforce shv 4-14x50 f1. First focal plane mildot reticle with 0.1 mrad adjustments at a price I can sorta reasonably afford

2020-05-04 20:35:58 UTC  

not sure I'm a fan of the reticle though, it's a bit cluttered

2020-05-04 20:50:57 UTC  

Oh I had one of those once! That’s an awesome choice man

2020-05-04 20:51:47 UTC  

It doesn’t do it justice, but that’s it on a Remington 5R

2020-05-04 20:52:06 UTC  

The reticle is much more visible than that to your eye

2020-05-04 20:54:32 UTC  

As far as reticles, there’s a learning curve, but the Horus/tremor style reticles offer a lot of capability over a traditional mil-dot style crosshairs

2020-05-04 20:58:19 UTC  

Seems like everything I've read about it is good. I think I'll start saving up for it.

2020-05-04 20:58:42 UTC  

Have you considered buying used?

2020-05-04 21:00:40 UTC  

Yeah, it looks like I'll be able to knock maybe 300 off the msrp price tag that way, but I still have to save up for it

2020-05-04 21:01:00 UTC  

Gotcha

2020-05-04 21:05:54 UTC  

The problems with being poor but not *a poor*

2020-05-04 21:07:08 UTC  

Hahah it is truly the worst spot

2020-05-04 21:31:43 UTC  

Do the mounting holes on the Remington 700 accept most direct scope mounts or is there a certain form factor to look out for?

2020-05-04 21:32:11 UTC  

Planning on using a single piece mount if i can

2020-05-04 21:39:43 UTC  

Yea you can put a 1913 rail on there

2020-05-04 21:42:38 UTC  

Have you checked armslist?
