Running and gunning by yourself gets boring... Only tactical critique I have is not following the military crest when going up that hill from 1:45 and so on, there is some major silhouetting going on there ( if it were real) IRL would be more optimal to stay below the crest to the left until you got closer to the targets then come up and over. ETA: watched some of the other vids were you in 1-25? So the DBAL is that far back because when the Elcan is at 1x it blocks less of the sight picture, and when I'm using NVGs my grip changes to closer in on the handguard to work the pressure switch and because I'm no longer looking down the sights, so it no longer blocks the laser. Good catch though. and the military crest was because .... I'm lazy and not very tactical! No I wasn't in 1-25 I was in 3-25. And I'm sorry if you didn't like the song but I do those videos so I can g back and watch them and get amped when I haven't shot in months. And butt-rock gets me pumped! Nice! not knocking it at all especially if it works, I just noticed how far back it was mounted then the grip was in front of it.

I edited one of the courses into a video, no music so the haters can put on their Air Supply or whatever in the background (wink wink). This one was a smoker though, believe it or not it was hard to ping those 350m targets at the end.

The SU-230 reticle is much finer than the double thick civilian models. This of course means more precision. Also it does not have the cluster fuck range finder on the left hand side of the reticle so it is a much cleaner overall sight picture. |

The HD version is the latest issued SOPMOD SU-230. The HD stands for heavy duty and includes a "beefed up" windage pin as well as other beefed up internals to better handle the optic eating recoil of the Scar H. Although 5.56 SU-230s are not often issued on Scar Hs it has happened as even the SOF community was having a hard time getting 7.62 SU230A HDs. All the more recent commercial versions have the same beefed up componants but do not sport the HD marking. The commercial versions also do not have the Socom reticle of the SU-230. As far as rarity goes, there were only 3-5 of each the SU230 HD and SU230A HD sold to civilians during the original batch of Socom over runs years back. Ive been lucky enough to track down 3 HD models(1 5.56 and 2 in 7.62). They are the rarest of all the over runs sold to civilians. |

SU-230s were only once sold as a batch of SOCOM contract over runs several years back. To aquire one you must look here on the EE or like forums and websites, auction sites, and maybe ask nicely here in this thread :) Most these days are used and do not hold a warranty. You will pay a premium for an SU-230 as they are rare and hard to pry from peoples hands. Expect to pay up to $1000 over civilian retail for a nice condition unit. Great optic though and if your clone game is strong you want one of these. |

The HD version is the latest issued SOPMOD SU-230. The HD stands for heavy duty and includes a "beefed up" windage pin as well as other beefed up internals to better handle the optic eating recoil of the Scar H. Although 5.56 SU-230s are not often issued on Scar Hs it has happened as even the SOF community was having a hard time getting 7.62 SU230A HDs. All the more recent commercial versions have the same beefed up componants but do not sport the HD marking. The commercial versions also do not have the Socom reticle of the SU-230. As far as rarity goes, there were only 3-5 of each the SU230 HD and SU230A HD sold to civilians during the original batch of Socom over runs years back. Ive been lucky enough to track down 3 HD models(1 5.56 and 2 in 7.62). They are the rarest of all the over runs sold to civilians. so then people are getting su-230(hd) marked units from.... Edit: saw reper762's reply after I posted this Kerrif was the go-to place to buy new overrun Elcans, but you had to be in a the military or veteran. |

I know for sure of 3 SU230 HD units out there(1being mine) and i know of 3 confirmed SU230A HD units out there(2 are mine).

Quote Historyso then people are getting su-230(hd) marked units from.... Kerrif was the go-to place to buy new overrun Elcans, but you had to be in a the military or veteran. Ken's a great guy and solid Elcan dealer who was privy to a few of the SU-230 (5.56) SOCOM overruns. However, none of the HD-marked units (Gen IIIB, technically) have ever passed through his possession. They were a supplement to the tail end of the SOCOM 1x/4x run. As Repr762 indicated, there are 5 or less of each caliber reticle in civilian hands. The SU-230 (5.56)/SU-230A (7.62) contract run was formalized/fixed and produced just before some of the newer features were being introduced into the commercial line (i.e. beefed up lateral adjustment (Azimuth) rods, red loctite on set screws, etc). The HDs are the only 1x/4x mil-units that incorporate the SOCOM reticle with all of the latest product line upgrades. The 1.5x/6x mil-units with SOCOM reticles were produced later than the 1x/4x mil-unit contract run, so there was never a need for an HD marking for the 1.5x/6x mil-units. |

Wait, I'm thinking of the ATPIAL-C. On L3's website they have them listed as "AN/PEQ15", and then have the price up there, as if you could buy it, but at the very bottom if you look at the power output, it's way too high, and then it says "some models are restricted".

There have been a few, not many, TA01NSNs seen on them. I do not think they were issued with them but were probably operator carryovers from older platforms.

Generally speaking the units issuing these rifles allow the shooter to use whichever optic they've got in the inventory that he prefers. So yeah TA01 is absolutely plausible. |

Possible that the weapon and optics are issued separately ETA: example - non of our issued weapons came with optics (M16A4 and M4). Optics were in the hands of the Armory and the unit that 'bought' those optics and issued them out to whoever. |
