Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JohnMH92:
So been reading a lot of the posts and seeing what people have, built my first AR a year ago and building a .300blk pistol with high end parts, like geissle and whatnot, so getting into the high end optics I guess you could say. My 16” RECCE rifle has a trijicon accupower 1-4 on it, and I haven’t seen many of those around, I paid $700 flat for it New. Would ya guys say that’s a good optic to be running on something like that or try and sell it and put something else on there? I shot about 300rds with it. It’s nice to my limited knowledge. I’ve only ever used a trijicon acog when i was in the marine corps. I got a trijocon MRO set aside for my .300blk pistol |

So I wasn’t digging the cheek weld with the CTR, but I also didn’t want the length of a sopmod, so I found an original Vltor mod stock which is the best of both imo....
Still need a T1 for my predator mount then I have to finally get around to getting an aem5.....but it’s getting there |

T'would be fun to get out there right now. For a little bit. But I don't think I will. 13 degrees out today. That's actually not too bad..... It was like 1 or 2 on New Years.....
Mine is a WOA barrel for wayfarer. I bought the whole upper built by ADCO. But a lot of people like the WOA barrel. Haveblue83 used it on his Mod H and it shoots really well. Mine shoots real well too, although I'm not sure I've ever taken advantage of how good it can shoot. I have gotten a few sub MOA groups. But I'm usually more like 1-1.5 MOA with match ammo. 2-3 with other stuff. Sometimes worse than that depending on ammo. It seems to like XM855 for cheaper ammo. And then every once in a while I still act stupid with it:
