Words mean things

Oh god, I know you've been around humint now

I say that all the damn time

In a literal sense. Yes

Okay, yes you're right. But you know what I actually meant.

I can’t believe how anal some of the Intel cats are about “words mean things”

@Sparrow I went prairie dog hunting the other day and missed one at 75 yds for 3/4 shots and then dusted one at 500 😂 that was a bad day, but i feel you, my DMR is not meant less than 100 lol

I say it as a joke half the time.

But you ain’t gotta jump that hard.

Well, I want to tell you that’s not how guns work @GorgeousGeorgeus but really what that means is you need to dial in a hand load cause you’re barrel is doing wired things probably

Or switch ammo

It was probably just his zero

Could be too

@Crye_Salesman I think I was just having a weird day. I got a new trigger as well. I am normally 80%+ at all prairie rats within 300 yards, even in the wind.

And text is hard to fucking interpret 😂 so I wasn’t trying to jump on your ass

You gotta buy me dinner first

@GorgeousGeorgeus be lying if I said it never happened to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

And ammo was definitely a thing, I was shooting shitty milsurp crap at the close one and switched to my hornady vmax

Ah

There it is

I definitely played a part😂 we all have weird days.

Pfft, what you mean? Milsurp is obviously high quality. They would never give our boys shitty ammo

I mean, mk262 and m118lr are fine by me 🤷🏻‍♂️

We all have our off days.

@Crye_Salesman in my door kicker gun I’m less particular. Shooting a 1.5 lb rat at 300+ yards in the wind I’m a little more discerning.

Yeah, I'll run anything through my doorkicker. I'm going to be close enough to where it doesn't matter.

I have 855A1 in it right now

My concern with my entry gun is intermediate barrier defeat

Yeah, the dot on my holo is 2moa so 2-5 moa is ok for me with my 12.5”

Yep, 2moa dot inside of 100 meters is plenty good for me.

Oh, yeah @Sparrow I will concede your point about the total sight post MOA not mattering.
But RDS only use 1 focal plane if you’re doing it right

Yeah, I used to lolipop my red dots. Now I don't give a shit. I only use the dot, good enough.

Now let's talk budget optics... Because I'm very curious on this. I have a mix of decent and shit optics. But are there any exceptions to the rule, that a say, $80 RDS can actually be good? Obviously, it might not be as durable as an Aimpoint or similar companies. But say the Bushnell TRS-25, for the guys who can't afford 300-600, does it work?

If any of you have personal experience with that sort of thing, of course.

If you are willing to turn it on every time you pick it up and take the durability hit there are a few good budget options for red dots.

I think it’s fairly well established what optics are reliable

Greetings. Anyone running highcom 4s17 plates? Looking at shellback carrier with their iv 4s17 plates.

No, my plates are garbage and I have only had experience with ESAPIs

No I don’t run plates

I think highcom is supposed to be good, they’re NIJ listed yeah?
Shellback is okay for entry-level stuff

Yeah NIJ listed
