I do have a question for the group and is it necessary to use a bipod with a mini recce? Im gripping the rail right in the middle leaving a about i would say 6 to 7 picatinny slots open. View Quote I think you'll find that the mini-recce is the un-clone. So use what works for you. If you want a pod, put one on. I have one on there in the pic, but I tend to just put it on when I need it, I don't leave it on there. It interferes with the AFG on there. So do what works for you and let the mission drive your gear. |

Is anyone using a Geissele MK16 10.5" on a 12.5" barrel?
I just bought a 12" rail and it turns out the actual length is closer to 13". With the barrel in the upper i measured that a rail with exactly a 10.5" top length would be perfect |

Pretty new to this mini recce topic. Is .300 blackout good for a mini recce in a 10.5 bbl? Seems like most 300 blackout rifles are set up with red dots. Can't find a whole lot of info on .300 blackout as a mini recce role or its capabilities outside of 100-200 yards. Wondering if putting serious glass on something within 200 yards is worth it.

I have a Noveske 10.5 upper in 300blk and trying to decide what optic to throw on it. Never messed around with LPVO's and wanted to turn it into a mini recce with a 1-6 or 1-8 but wasn't sure how far the 300 blk could stretch out to since everyone seems to consider it solely a close quarters gun. |

I think it was Nov 2019 from ADCO. My usual FFL's license was up for renewal so ADCO held it for about 3 months until he received his renewal. It took my FFL a while to get the application to me and it took me a while to finally mail it off to the ATF. Another 8 months went by and I had to correct the address on my finger print cards because we moved...6 weeks later it's here. |

I think LPVOs are great for 300blk because you can zero for supers and then quickly dial or hold for subs. It makes a quiet, accurate, and versatile 0-300-yard rifle.

The SSA-e is a little nicer for real precision work (like if you're aiming for consistent sub-half MOA at distance, it might help) but the MBT-2 is at least 85% there for less than half the cost. Perfect for a recce IMO. A G2S might fit the bill too.

Really nice. What 2-stages are you considering? I currently have MBT-2s in my recce and mini-recce setups and an SSA-E in my SPR-ish build.

Perfect for a recce IMO. A G2S might fit the bill too. I have a couple MBT-2S. One in the AR-10 and one in the spare parts bin. I plan to sell the one in spare parts bin. Feels right in an AR-10, but it feels too, beefy I guess, to me, in an AR-15...something about the reset. I want another 2-stage Geissele for the mini H. Whatever I can find on sale. |

I rarely use the illumination when I crank up the magnification. |
