We pushed our MK18’s with EOTECHs out to 400m consistently in Ranger Regiment. At the end of the day, when you understand the mechanics of a gun fight and how stuff actually plays out, your skill and highest level of training matter infinitely more than whatever weapon you happen to be carrying (within reason)

Yep that’s why I always have thought the 1-8 scopes are trash on an ar, same with magnifiers outside of a first strike situation. They just make it take longer to get a shot on target. Watch modern combat footage form ukr, you’ll quickly see what matters most. Targets move about quick and randomly, lots of recoil and adrenaline, and most fights are actually closer range than you’d think (aside from suppressive fire, which can be done with irons anyways). Max id go is a fixed 2 or 3x prism/acog. Otherwise red dot is more than enough.

The magnifier is more then just an added firing solution aid its an awesome recon device that doesnt need to be re-zeroed when you unclip it and use it like a monocular. Being able to see better at distance and still have a red dot and all that provides up close where most/all "defensive" use cases for a firesrm will occur is a win win to me. Ill accept the added weight of the magnifier even if I dont ever use it just like I accept the weight of my carry gun in my belt even if I, god willing, never have to use it.

I think a magnifier isn’t a need on a wide open static range like this, but once you get into the real world with threats dressing even a little like the background and maybe hiding along a tree line, you need it for finding them and identifying as threat or not. I used to have a red dot on my go-to, until I moved out into the country and looked around “there’s no way I’m seeing stuff unmagnified” even at distances I’d typically be fine with the red dot on the range.

This is also the beauty of training (aside from dry firing which is great but can't get feedback)...you don't have to use that much ammunition to get better (more accurate, faster splits, etc.)...a couple of shots can tell you a lot in terms of what you need to improve on. If you're intentional, review your groupings & truly analyze what you're doing correctly or incorrectly for said results. Make the necessary adjustments over one or two more runs & that alone is worth a lot in terms of holds, dope, muscle memory & feeling more confident in general. Appreciate these vids Lucas!

For practical defensive reasons, your effective range is only as far as you can properly ID where that bullet will impact. Using a rifle with no magnification is not much different from using a handgun with a faster projectile. Not having magnification on a platform that can mount it, and can be terminally effective out to ranges magnification enables, is a waste to me. I already have 1x on my handgun. May as well have options on the rifle.

This is a far more realistic scenario than hitting a target 300+ yards away outside of an outdoor range.

What's your opinion on the cHeApEr alternative to the ACOG (Primary Arms SLx 3x)? Worth it, or not durable enough for any serious (wartime/SHTF/etc.) use case? I'm asking since sometimes you can get still 80% of the quality but for 1/3 the price. And 80% of ACOG durability is fine IMO. Thx🙂

You pretty much summed it up, its 80% as good as an acog while being 1/4 the price. Give it another generation or 2 and I think they'll match or exceed acog. Trijicon needs to adapt or they'll be pushed out of the market

@@The_PotionSellerthey will never beat acogs at the price they are at. Glass quality and design on the acog are just better. They also arent the same thing. They are both prisms, but acogs give you a massive sight picture, the pa micros dont, even though they have similar on paper fov. They are a decent optic if thats your price range, but it will never be just as good or better than an optic with super high end glass, an extremely rugged design and thats not limited to a “micro” size optic. Source: I own a PA 3x micro and a friend owns an acog, and ive used both side by side. World of difference.

I always like 1/3. It's a bit more comfortable but mainly the irons don't obstruct the optic. I like fixed irons (DD A1.5 in my case) on a HD rifle cause there is no BUIS to flip up if the optic goes down and with 1/3 I just dig into the cheek weld a bit more and they are there. Super fast and simple.

It doesn't matter who you are, any shot on any target at any distance will have some margin of error that could result in a miss. Magnification will reduce that margin of error and the chance for a miss. If you can ring the gong every time at 100 m, awesome. Magnification will amplify your skill. Of course, there is a point where some magnification power is actually a hinderance at some distance. PID and shot placement become a problem when you can't distinguish between green forest and green textile because your sight picture is out of focus or you can count the bacteria on some dude's sleeve.

Is having your thumb on the right side of the grip for shooting longer shots really any kind of advantage? It works for bolt guns because your whole hand is needed to work the bolt. But in a gas gun it just messes with your grip while you're transitioning. You can't have your whole hand around the grip and make accurate long range shots?

It helps you pull the trigger straight back and not cant the gun to the side. You CAN shoot without doing it, but it will pretty much eliminate that variable. And you can shoot just fine with it without wrapping it around the grip, even running and gunning it. It's just a technique to practice, because it works, and it's good to have a multitude of skills
