The x24s just look SO good on a Mod1, but they just can't be that user-friendly. I've never had the chance to mess with one though, so I have no idea. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RTUtah:

Not sure a Civilian CEO shooting his rifle as an Army Training center demo/tour validates anything :). But, as stated above (and, on page 1) the 32 has been tagged as a suitable replacement for cloning, since the original 24's are relatively scarce.. Optics & Rings:
In the case of the Leupold 3-9x or 3.5-10x, it's generally okay to go for a non-illuminated version of either, sometimes with M1 or other turrets and reticles. As far as the NightForce scope, the 2.5-10x24mm is not generally released to the public anymore (with one recent exception through Sniper's Hide), so many use the 32mm or even 42mm versions with the #22 High rings. As for the rings, any of the recent produced A.R.M.S. #22s with the lever-stop humps are functionally the same, the desire for non-lever-stops is purely aesthetic when going for the most authentic look. As LaRue LT-104s have been seen in use, it is justifiable to use one depending on whether you have a specific rifle you want to copy, or even just if you absolutely cannot acquire #22 High rings.

Yeah I really want to but it would bug me in the back of my mind that it's not all the way correct. I may end up going the F1 route anyway for the extra magnification.

I do have a photo request if anyone could oblige. Mod 0 with a NXS 2.5-10x32 with either ARMS med or high rings. I’m trying to visualize the scope height that I want, but I’m coming up short in the search for photos meeting that criteria.

The best way I can describe it between the x24 and the TS-30: x24 has better glass TS-30 is a better scope If you want to run a clip-on or a PEQ-2A on the top, this is pretty much what you've got available for options. You might be able to squeeze a PVS-30 ahead of a 3.5-10 on an 18" variant but I've not tried it myself. |

Hey guys wanted to chime in I am way behind on the Faux suppressors. Lathe went down and I had to source apron casting and hand wheel gear and a few other parts. I am trying to get this last batch done up for you guys. Sorry for the delay. I did get a new casting actually a whole new apron gear box out of GA (50.00) so I will be up and running this week.
