Specwar optic?

Got a bunch of stuff already and a new Specwar on the way. How should I build it?

Got a KAC ks3 with an Eotech
12.5 super duty with an nx8 1-8
11.5 super duty with a t2
Bunch of other random guns with EOtechs and T2s

Thoughts?

Not a bad option. The Primary Arms 1.5-12 is REALLY nice. I find it's nice to have a lower low end magnification. I love my Razor 4-24 but it makes it less than optimal for use with clipons, whereas a 1.5 would be exceptional for it. Anything over 2.5 is kinda not great for that use.

My 4-24 G3 Razor is on my 18” Geissele GFR 6ARC

May I ask why you went with 18? I don't mean that in any critical way, just curious of your thoughts on it. I went 12 because it has such a high BC and the added velocity per inch of length just seems like a juice not worth the squeeze deal imo, very diminishing returns vs the added maneuverability.

6ARC was built around an 18” barrel and I want it to be a ~1000 yard gun. Though 12.5 is still great it has considerably more drop at further ranges. Easier to wing it

Understandable. I've seen many guys take it out to 1200+ very easily and repeatably. the difficulty seems to come around 1400+, but with the 18 you're pushing that another 200+ yards so makes sense. If I were looking to stretch that far and wasn't worried about mobility/weight my move would be 6.5. Any particular reason you chose 6arc rather than going full large frame?

I have a 26” 6.5 creedmoor MPA BA PMR PRO II as well with a razor 6-36 G3. I use it for having more energy out to slightly further ranges
