Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 135Patriots: Well shit. I really want one. Not sure if it makes much sense in my 1.93 mount since I wouldn't be using it for anything close-range, but I do have a spare Docter sitting around This thread has been good for my life and bad for my wallet. I love mine (Wilcox setup on NSW). Eye box is definitely not the greatest when you compare it to a Razor or Kahles K16i but its light and super crisp. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 135Patriots: Mini Recce squad, how do we like the NF 2.5-10 x 24? I literally have no reason to ditch the Razor...But that model NF backed up with an offset MRDS has always intrigued me. 10 power with x24 seems like a tight squeeze optically, but I love the look of it (which is dumb but that's showbiz). It’s sweet from a form factor standpoint but it’s not the most forgiving. I ultimately moved to the x32 and finally the x42 which don’t demand such critical head placement at higher magnification. |

Agreed, the NF 2.5-10x24 is a great optic if you understand it.
I tried it on a SCAR 17 and it's usable but at high mag I would always lose the sight picture after the shot. Moved it to my Noveske 'Mini Recce' 14.5" and it is AWESOME. It sits in a standard Geissele mount with a RMR on top in a Reptilia mount and offset KAC irons. It's a completely different optic that the Razor 1-6. |

So I took apart the Grendel to switch out the RAS to the PRI tube, and the screws are too long for the AEM5 to go inside the handguard. Did you guys get shorter screws or just grind them down?

I think you can just get some shorties at the hardware store of yours are too long. Is your Grendel 13.1? I'm interested to see a 13.1 mini H. |

Hopefully I can find some short screws and put it together. I mocked up the RAS with a Triarc 11.5 and NF 2.5-10. First build in the new house. I have a NX8 on the way that may go on it, or the Steiner. The NXS will probably end up on the Grendel.  Attached File |

More like a mini NSW RECCE than mod 1 but the one I built with spikes tapered GB was just under 13.1", don’t remember exactly what it was.

NX8 came in yesterday and got around to mounting it tonight. I didn’t like the first one I had, but I think I’ve got the parallax and scope position just right this go around. Not sure if I’ll keep the RAS on this upper, or put it back on the Grendel and try to find either a BCM QRF or URX 2 for this. And for what it’s worth, it’s GSD approved.
