The 2.5-10 is probably the most useful but not good for close range. I've been considering a T1 and magnifier also. Then there's the .308 specific ACOGS. That's why it has open sights. I can't make a decision. The struggle is real. I like the T1 for battery life, but like the EoTech's reticle more. 2205

It's looking like when I get laid off this winter I'm going to bring my truck up da UP to do the swap eh. See what I did there lol. My dad has a big garage I can use for the swap and I need to spend some time with him. Sounds good, winter shoots are always fun. the 2.5-10 is a good choice. What do you run on the SCAR now? I'm a glass snob but I can say this. What ever it is that you buy, make sure it is first focal plane and the turrets match the reticle, e.g. Mil/mil, or moa/moa. I agree with FFP , matching turrets. As for the truck, it really depends on what I see when I go look at them. I'd like the 03 as it's a 1 owner, 3" stack of maintenance records, however we shall see. 2211

Firearms / Re: Piston vs gas AR build?« on: July 29, 2015, 03:29:42 PM »Next is the stock and scope, vortex? Since it's a precision build I'd go with: Stock A2 style - It's simple, you can find them cheap, they work. Can't adjust the LOP or cheek rest, unless you add an aftermarket rest. MagPul PRS - Not so cheap, but you can adjust the LOP and the cheek rest. Scope Vortex - Good quality optics, good price, lifetime no questions asked warranty. Those are my thoughts. 2213

I want a 16 so bad I can taste it. To the point of starting to do a mental inventory of what I can stand selling to fund the purchase. No one I know within a reasonable distance has one. I want to shoot one and see if I like it. I do know, just by the looks that I hate the butt stock. But that's just a minor aesthetic point. 2214

Firearms / Carbon fiber barrel..« on: July 20, 2015, 12:30:02 PM »
So I was out exploring and wandered into a gun shop in the area. The guy builds precision rifles and etc. He had one of the rifles he built for a customer up on the counter. Remington 700 in 6.5 Creedmore, with a carbon fiber barrel. It's stiffer than a steel barrel of the same length, has a match liner and the whole package was pretty light. I had never seen a carbon fiber barrel before, and it does seem like an interesting and weight saving option.Sorry didn't take any pics.

Well again no pics, but on Saturday, my parents, nieces and I went to a new, small Soul Food Cafe here in GB. Had some amazing catfish,homemade mac n cheese, cornbread, sweet tea and sweet potato pie (1 of my 2 favorites pies). Afterwards, dad and I were talking to the owners and I mentioned I was torn between the pork chop sandwich with red beans and rice and the catfish I had ordered, she hooked it up with some free red beans and rice.

D.O.T. / Re: Thoughts.« on: July 20, 2015, 09:36:43 AM »Seems high price wise for 200,000 and the visible wear to the driver's seat. Photo of engine bay would give you a better idea of how it was kept before going up for sale- everyone cleans the outside and interior. More details on the "tuner" might give you better insight- a tuner on a truck owned by Don or RN is one thing, a tuner on a truck owned by my 23yr old son would be a "NO THANKS" for me. I was thinking about $10,xxx ish. The seats are heated. I looked at the interior and the seats could be sewn, even by me and my limited sewing skills, until I can get them recovered. The motor looked ok, naturally it was cleaned by the dealership. I didn't get an in depth check up since it was late afternoon on Sunday. I'll hear more from my buddy later on today probably. As for the tuner, I"m going to call the dealership and ask them for more info, just haven't gotten a chance yet. 2235
