??? Werent you guys saying that eotechs are more expensive then aimpoints.

It doesn't matter what my point is, because no matter what I say it all falls on deaf ears. You guys are so in love with the aimpoint that any positive opinion about eotech is foreign to you.

Arlticle on foxnews.com today titled 'WE GOT HIM': Authorities Now Hunt For Answers in Boston Bombing With the following picture

You might be right, but didn't he specifically say yesterday that he is against federal government interfearing with state?

if the photo ID replaces the requirement for a P2P, I am all for it. Yes it will cause a logistical nightmare for the local PD, but if done right, maybe in waves by name or address, or what ever, it should be managable.

So i'm guessing the 50 beuwolf would be legal? I really want me one of those reaaly soon.

He said we have a 7 day waiting period on firearm purchases. We DO ?

Barret 50BMG ban was mentioned and photo ID at time of purchase

I started listening only towards the end, he mentioned something about providing a document to the press, anyone see that document yet?

Most likely next sunday. If I use empty soda cans, can I put them on some sort of wooden stand, or only on the ground?

I will be going to range-14 for the first time next weekend. This will be my first time at an outdoor range. Any suggestions on what type of targets I can setup there? Do I need my own target stand? Can I use cans, bottles, watermellons, etc...? If I go on Sunday, what time should I get there to avoid crouds?

My mistake, that's what was written on the original post in a different forum where I got the picture. And you are 100% right, it is a software issue. But both photos are extremely funny though.

That is funny as hell, but it doesn't appear to be exclusivr to eotech users. I'm not trying to fuel the fire here but I just couldn't resist. The scary part is that both these pictures are NY SWAT.

+1

I hope prices go down in time for the Philly gun show on May 4th.

If you look back at any of my posts, you will notice that I NEVER said that eotech is better. What I said was that both optics are of high quality and it comes down to personel prefference as to which one anyone chooses. What I have been trying to say, and maybe i've been saying it wrong, is that if someone is dead set on a holographic sight and stated specifically that he is not interested in a reflex sight for what ever reason, why is everyone trying to sell him on a reflex sight.

No I haven't done any missions or trained for any, everything I know is from months of research prior to buying the eotech. And I don't think the OP will be using it for anything other than target shooting, otherwise he wouldn't ask for a cheaper alternative. The point I was trying to make was that every time any question is asked it turns into a "ford vs chevy" style pissing match and never really answering the OPs original question. And the 4 moa dot I was reffering to was on the aimpoint. As far as field of view, whenever I used the vortex strikefire, if I didn't have a good cheak weld the walls of the tube obstructed the dot, on the eotech, I never had that problem. If you had better experience with the aimpoint then the eotech, then that is your experience and that is what works best for you. I never said aimpoint was not a great optic, what I said was that everyone has their own opinion based on their own experiences. And yes, my research did lead me to the fact that eotech is used more than aimpoint by LE in the US. If my research has been faulty then I appoligize for the rant.

Here is the issue I have, I want to sell 4 USP45 10 round mags but I don't know if I should sell them or not seeing how there is a new mag limit law looming over NJ. Do you guys think this law will ever pass? Should I hold on to my mags?

The OP stated multiple times had he is looking for a cheaper alternative to eotech and has state many times that he doesn't like the aimpoint form factor. I agree that it makes no sense to buy knock-offs, I have made that same mistake a few times, it's just doesn't make finacial sense. But that being said, the OP has stated many times that he did not want an aimpoint style sight. And I will revise my original post, there were 2 reasons I chose eotech vs vortex strikefire (which is an exact form factor replica of aimpoint), 1) the reticle, 2) the larger angle of view. That is a matter of opinion. Eotech, first of all, has a choice of reticles, not just a 4 MOA dot. Second of all, the eotech has a greater field of view, which makes it more suitable for CQ. Military uses mostly aimpoint, LE uses mostly eotech, both are top of the line optics with each having their own advantages and dis-advantages, and quality wise I don't think either is better then the other. The entire aimpoint vs eotech debate is driven strictly by personel opinion, and nothing else.

Wow, I have never seen so many people poo-pooing eotech. I had 2 vortex strikefires, which were excelent sights, and I replaced them with eotechs, one one reason, the reticle. I just dont like the single dot in the middle. Everyone has there own preferences, whether it be trainig deficiencies or what ever. Th OP asked for a less costly alternative to an eotech because he likes that type of sight and every one is trying to push aimpont as if they have stock in the company. And for anyone who says eotech is crap can stick their aimpoint were the sun dont shine.

How do you feel about the Lyman T-Mag Expert Kit Deluxe w/ Micro Touch 1500, from what I understand, the only other equiptment I would need is a tumbler, shell holder and dies. On Brownells everything comes out to $522 plus shipping.

Lee presses are less expensive than lyman and RCBS, from what i've seen. Quality wise, how do they compare. One of my major concerns at this point is price. The less I can spend on equiptment the more I can spend on components.

You're right, the 9mm did sell out immediately. But I would assume that's because 9mm has been the least available over the last few months. When I came at around 11:15, the guy told me they had already sold over 30 cases of ammo. I came back at 2:00pm and they still had .45, .38 and .357 on the shelf. So I picked up 3 more boxes of .357 The point I am trying to make is that I have been going to that dicks every week on delivery day, I work 5 min away. And they have never had, in the last months, a shipment that even came close to the size of this shipment. For many boxes of .45, .38 and .357 to still be on the shelves after 2pm is unheard of in recent months.

I'm just hoping that this is a sign that the supply will soon be getting better. Not optimistic, just hopeful.

Im looking into ordering the lyman t mag II press kit, which comes with the book. Any advise on this press? I spent the last 2 days watching reloading videos on youtube just to gain some info on the mechanics of the process and am searching for reloading clinics in my area. Lately I have become quite anal and do a lot of research before I dive into a new hobby, I have a very bad history with buying stuff that I later find out that I wont use.
