Optics & Accessories

I seemed to have made a poor choice by putting my h2 on a 1.57 inch scalarworks optic riser as most magnifiers don't line up at that height. How big of an issue is it if they are not perfectly aligned? Will it be inaccurate or just great effect my eye box. I'm currently looking at the primary arms extended eye relief magnifier which sits at 1.64 inches. Does a 2mm difference in height effect anything drastically? Or am I doing my normal overthinking?

This is a great deal. I am cross posting because I think it will get more views here than in then Hot Deals discussion room.

I have not. But this caught my attention: Guns & Ammo Editor Nearly Shoots Himself Proving That Serpas Suck – Bearing Arms

Anyone have any experience with the 1 moa SRO? Is the dot easy enough to find? Do you need to crank the brightness up to be able to pick it up quickly?

Every time I shoot my Ruger Pc the mounts for the red dot come loose. What do you guys think is better, loctite or lock washers?

Looking for recommendations on the best kydex OWB double mag holster for Glock mags. Looking to be tight and slim in profile, but quality construction and retention is the main priority. It would be used for concealed carry, but prefer OWB for mags. The 2 brands i have experience with are either no longer in business or only make a single.

GF has started getting into PPC-style competitions with me and is using my GSG 1911 handgun (it's essentially the same gun as the Sig .22lr 1911, they both use the same mags). I'd like to get her an OWB right-handed holster and some mag carriers. Challenge is that the GSG has a picatinny rail in front of the trigger guard; that seems to make it incompatible with a lot of holsters. None of this will be for CCW, only for competitions. Any recommendations out there? Edit - just tested pitbull tactical mag carriers that I have and they work with the GSG magazines, so I'll just get a few more of them. Still looking for a holster though.

I'm looking for an optic with some magnification. I would like to shoot around the 3-400 yard range. I have been looking at magnified prisms but last prism I bought had terrible eye relief. It almost caused me to cross my eyes while looking through it. I mainly use red dots and don't currently have anything magnified. I would like to keep the optic under or around 600. I think a 3x magnified would get me to the range I want to shoot but I'm not opposed to a good lpvo. I would like a one and done, but I may co witness with an offset red dot if I have to.

Installed a red dot on my Zastava 7.62x39, it was ok, not a huge fan of red dots, my eyes are not the greatest and no magnification doesn’t help, didn’t want to install a scope, the rifle is heavy enough without one, decided on the 3x micro prism, sighted it in this morning, ran 100 rounds with it, very impressed, the chevron is awesome, clear and super easy to pick up. The raptor reticle is minimalist enough for my taste, the green chevron is much easier for me than red, ranging, windage built in, 3x is just enough for me to stretch some shots and not to much for in close, once dialed in for my eyes no glasses needed. The amount of mounting options they include is fantas…

I'm looking for a solid rifle light. I'm really looking for durability above everything. I'm stuck between the cloud defensive rein 3 and a surefire. It'll go on my shtf rifle. Price isn't a huge issue but I'm big in value for performance.

I have Trijicon XD sights on my Springfield Armory 9 mm subcompact. Yesterday, while I was shooting, I suddenly noticed that the orange insert in my front sight was gone. Looked around a bit, but no luck in finding it. I was going to buy a new front sight, but then I thought it might work if I get some glow in the dark acrylic paint, and put a drop of it on the front sight post. Anyone ever had this happen to them? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I used to order all my IWB from a small company online called Ozarks Holsters. They were made to order and was a 1 man shop. Years ago they shut down, just took the site down and stop responding to emails. Their product is top notch. I ordered all my IWB glock holsters from them. Material, fit, clip, etc all top notch. They made me a little nervous to go with any high production or off the shelf brands. Anyone on here know of or used any smaller MTO holster companies?

I'm looking for a nice optic for my rifle. Most of my shooting will be within 50 yards but I would love the option of going further. I'm debating between the following but after jumping down the rabbit hole I can't decide. I'm debating between the following Trijicon TA31F. aimpoint duty or pro and magnifier. Eotech and magnifier. any insight is welcome i want something that is bomb proof and my budget is 1000.

Looking for recommendations for a budget red dot. I'm looking for something under $100 and will be mounted on either a Ruger 10/22 or Ruger pc carbine. I put a cheap $20 (off of an airsoft rifle) on my 10/22 and it's a lot of fun but want to get something a little better without spending a lot.

I was never a fan of buis, not due to the sight but rather to my crappy eye sight, peep with a front post was a challenge so I would never use them. Enter an M1 Garand, now I forced myself to use them and I found I was actually adequate with my Garand, no 500 yard hits but have been very happy with hitting an 8” plate at 150 yards. So I start looking for buis for my ar, tried a few cheap set ups but not as good with them as I am with the Garand, opened up a Midway promo email and browsed the deep discount aisle, found these for a deep discount, Ultradyne C2 Sight Set… They had good reviews so I bought them, mounted, zero’d and was very impressed, I’m sure there is a …

I am looking to purchase a night vision scope AR-15. How good is the AR-15 for hunting? Please tell me your experience.

Hey Folks, So I recently followed online instructions to put a Holosun 407K on my Canik Mete SFX. I filed the rear pegs flat on the plastic plate, and there seemed to be a good snug fit with no side to side motion. However, I notice this sliver of gap where the pegs go into the holes of the sight. Is this a big deal? (You can faintly make out the white bleeding through in the image below. It's perfectly flush where I filed down.) Maybe I need to shave the rear bracket down a bit?

Anyone have any experience or recommendations on a Smart Scope with laser range finder and ballistic computer built in?

Looking for a wartime, pre war, or post war German glass for a k98 sniper clone. Anyone have any experience or knowledge on wartime rigs? If anyone has any leads, knows any places, or knows anyone with one let me know!

Looking for other's experiences and opinions here. First off, I like prism optics because I have an astigmatism. It's not terrible but I find the smear from a red dot pretty annoying. As such, I already have a Leupold Prismatic, which I love. It's true 1x, great eye relief, and excellent with both eyes open. Since they aren't easy to find anymore, for other hardware in the collection I have tried a Vortex Spitfire, which seems less than 1x and therefore not as great with both eyes open, and also a Swampfox Blade, which is almost/kinda 1x if you are close enough to the eyepiece and not far from the target, though at distance shooting with both eyes open didn't seem practic…

what are you guys doing for carrying of spare mags? pocket? iwb mag holders? just curious, cause i'm not sure if or how many i wanna carry. was leaning towards a single spare.......

I put a red dot optic on a G19 with stock sights, took it to the range and then "zeroed" the red dot and was getting hits very close to point of aim. I then bought some "suppressor height" iron sights and put them on. Haven't been back to the range yet. Right now, when I line up the irons, the "previously zeroed" red dot is off to the right per image below (red circle is approximate position of the red dot): Which way should I drift the rear sight, left or right, to bring the irons in alignment with the red dot? My brain just won't work right when I'm trying to think this through. I'm thinking the red dot is to the RIGHT of the current iron…

I just picked up the Daniel defense in the classifieds. Now I need an optic and a sling. I'm looking to keep the optic around 600 And the sling around or under 100. I like prism/etched reticle optics and I don't really want anything magnified. Im not set on that though as i have irons more. The gun will be mostly for fun but used for a zombie apocalypse. I want a durable and reliable optic, I have no vision seeing.
