This is going to hurt because I really do like Burris optics :( I did some more shooting/ load development yesterday and figured after I had proven my load I'd make a small windage and elevation adjustment to move my POI to where I want it. Any ...

5/17/2013 8:39:15 PM

After months of waiting to get an MD06, I finally got one as a birthday gift from my son. Now I understand that this is not an Aimpoint, but should I expect to see as much going on as I see in mine? If I get close up on the sight, there is a...

Eotech EXPS vs Aimpoint T1 weight question

5/16/2013 8:35:08 PM

First of all this is not a "what's the best rds" thread. I don't care about the Aimpoints battery life. Don't care that you had a 512 back in the day and it was crap. Don't care about your personal opinion of single dot versus dot/circle. <...
