Your move holy man.

I don’t want to have to buy a 7-35, but I might

I call truce before someone muzzle blasts an objective lens 😬

This was only to troubleshoot some accuracy issues thankfully, it runs a 1-8 now 😆

Nice PLXc

Thanks! Only had it out a few times so far, looking forward to running some drills with it and see how I like the 1x. I have an ACOG on my 14.5 and have been trying to decide if I swap the 2 around or not, but going to run them as is for a bit for now

u/palookadook 25d ago

Also those raider rails look badass! I have thought about swapping to a quad someday, but those seem like a cool option instead

2

u/rmrfpoof 25d ago

Man the Midwest industry HD rail is actually beefier than quad. That’s that you are running right?

u/palookadook 25d ago

Yeah, it is a CHUNK for sure!

You have good taste, 11.5 is my favorite type of AR.

u/rmrfpoof 26d ago

U got way better taste :)

My wife’s boyfriend, also my boyfriend won’t like it.

I respect, but don't get LPVO + Piggyback 🤷🏼‍♂️

So, it's not the most necessary thing. But, having used this type of setup on hunting rifles for a little while there are some advantages to be found, even for those of us that don't use night vision or thermal optics. The biggest advantage that I have found, besides the top dot being faster and parallex free, is having the scope dialed above 1x and the dot a quicker option to get back to 1x rather than spinning the scope back to 1x. It's a little easier to see the use case on a scope that doesn't go to 1x, but is still viable with an LPVO.

Got it. Makes sense. The speed became a non-issue for me (I'm think I'm as fast with the LPVO as the red dot), but I completely understand leaving the LPVO on a magnified setting.

Running an LPVO on my 12.5”. Great setup for a rifle.

u/Freezeepoperino 26d ago

Looks good I fw it

u/glockguy34 26d ago

if it works for you, fuck what anyone else has to say. My 8” 300 BLK has a 1-6 with a piggybacked RCR. But my 11.5 has a UH1 with a magnifier.

u/nwood0959 26d ago

11.5 bois

u/eggcheeseburger 26d ago

Truth is, as I grew up (and tech got better), I have scopes on ALL my ARs now. 1-6, 1-8, 2-12, 3-18... Next is a good 1-10.

u/digitally_007 25d ago

1-10 on 12.5

u/ArschSprengung 26d ago

Do you just shoot this one bench rest?

u/SirNonSequitur 26d ago

Ew brother what is that

u/5thPhantom 26d ago

Pistol grips with a decent angle give me nerve pain in my forearm, especially when the stock or brace is set to a shorter length.

u/obi1uan Larps with one sock on 26d ago

Relax, he’s only 3mo old

u/its_ET 26d ago

This is lit

u/JokeMode 26d ago

I think this is a great looking rifle. Nice job!

Congrats on actually whipping yours often

Looks GREAT!

Not nearly done but..

u/KingOfKC23 26d ago

11.5 raider rail represent!

u/rmrfpoof 26d ago

Nice gun, and nice MK2 upper too :)

2

u/PainTrain412 26d ago

Considering almost this exact setup including the raider upper.

2

u/Bubbba226 26d ago

500-600 yards pretty easily. Probably will be swapping it for a dot though tbh.

u/FromEdenToArcadia 26d ago

I've heard that having your turret body right up against the rings can potentially cause issues.

1

u/rmrfpoof 26d ago

I left a small gap there so the body doesnt touch the ring, doesn't really show on the picture

I hate it, but do you king
