Sweet!| No Aimpoint in my future. Every one I have looked through looks like a cluster of grapes. The Millett is nice and round for me and I found it to be as bright as the Aimpoint under bright sunlight. I also like to be able to vary the dot size depending on the shooting. The 10 MOA is real quick up close and 1-2 MOA works better for precision. Battery life is good enough as I get a year out of one under normal use. |

Probably has an astigmatism. My Aimpoint and Eotech's bloom a little because of it, but they are still so much better optics I deal with it.

I got my eyes checked and no astigmatism. Eotech's look real fuzzy as well. AImpoint's are the worst looking tube RDS to my eye's. I know its me, but it's the hand I've been dealt. If I ever swap out my Millett it will be for a Tripower as the chevron is super clear to me and the brightest in bright sun. I wish the battery life was better, but only really use it at night when using a rifle light as the fiber optics tend to wash out.
The only problem I have ever had with the Millett is that the dial would shift under a lot of firing. One wrap of electrical tape and now it stays put yet is adjustable. LE pricing on the Milletts, Bushnell now, puts them at a nice in between range. I really like the auto intensity adjustment and it has never done anything funky. |

Same problem with me, I had a T1 on my ar and the dot looked like a big blob. Weird thing is I always though I had really good eye sight, can see everything clearly but apparently I must have a slight astigmatism, well at least when i look through an Aimpoint  Either way it was so annoying I had to take it off and go back to iron sights. Thinking I will try a Eotech and see how it goes since dot is only 1 MOA...
ETA: Oh and nice looking SBR!

Here's my XCR family pics. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/DSCN2431.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/DSCN2434.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/DSCN2438.jpg I weighed them on my bathroom scale which only reads to the 1/2 pound. All weights are as pictured with a loaded mag and all accessories. The micro checked in at 9.0 pounds (felt lighter), the SF at 10.0 and the SPR at 10.0. That's a freaking awesome collection! |

very nice. just don't like the fal charging handle location Quoted:
I just got my stamp back and could finally remove the barrel extension. Here are some pics of my XCR micro. I do plan to get some Troy low sights for it, but other than that it is done. <a href="http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/?action=view¤t=XCRPICS001.jpg" target="_blank">http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/th_XCRPICS001.jpg</a> <a href="http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/?action=view¤t=XCRPICS002.jpg" target="_blank">http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z260/Martens813/th_XCRPICS002.jpg</a> This thing is so light and handy. It is smaller than an MP5!!! |

I got the Troy/Ttian low sights mounted and love these sights. They fit the gun well and extremely well made.
As for the charging handle, it is one of my favorite features. It is so handy, especially for one handed manipulations, right or left. Even shooting lefty, I like it. I rotate the port down to let gravity help clear anything, and reach over with my right hand to work the handle. I can't argue with the fat that it can get a little uncomfortable with it slung over the back, although I found that the tighter it is slung, the less it seems to bother me.

Middle one is a 14.5 with a pinned brake. It is running a mini upper instead of cutting off rails. If you cut rails, the cut ends up in the middle of a cooling slot, although it works just fine from what I have been told.
The mini upper shaved a few ounces all from the front. It really did move the point of balance rearward in my estimation. |
