AR-15 BS Thread

Well when Haley designed it with SDI it worked like a champ.

In other news, If anyone wants a sweet smithing tool that you can use in place of a mag well vise block, the geissele reaction block is SICK.

 

Did some distance shooting with my DMR in 5.56 yesterday. It's solid out to 700m, but I could only get 1/20 hits at 800m. The scope is insufficient for that distance - duplex reticle and not set up to "click" for shot corrections, but I also think the bullet is destabilizing and starting to tumble. We were observing something closer to a beaten zone as opposed to normal variation in bullet trajectory. It's easily a 1/2 MOA gun, so I expect that we have reached the limits of 5.56.

 

What kind of scope? I just happen to have one for sale.

 

I'm looking for a H-59 reticle in a Leupold/Nightforce/Vortex scope.

 

Thats cool. Mine is a Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50 green mil dot with an angled Trijicon Dual illuminated RMR on the mount.

 

I'm not sure what your altitude is where you're at in AK, but you might be able to do 800m with 77gr consistently. 800 *yards* at sea level is about the limit for 77s. 80gr or higher will definitely do 800 meters, and will get you up to 1000 yards assuming ~2650 fps muzzle velocity.

 

I'll give it another try when I have a better reticle, or range where I can spot my misses. Right now, if I don't hit the silhouette, or the dirt road it's set up on, I can't see anything. I don't want to waste match 75gr bthp at $25/box of 20 "finding the target". My barrel has a 1/8 twist, so theoretically it should work. It would just make me feel better if I could reliably use the math I was doing before I take the shot.

 

So I picked up an EoTech 512 for my SBR build, it's way too chunky for the build heh

 

gander mountain had a sale on 512's for 350 bucks and they gave you a 50 dollar gift card with it, pretty good deal!

 

When was this??

 

last week, I got an email from them!

 

Dang been looking for either the 512 or aim point pro

Check this deal out on Aimpoints

 

I could be coaxed into a sale of the 512, I'd rather a XPS but I doubt that'll happen

 

How come you think its to clunky? I dont mind my 512 on my 300blk SBR. But its also the only thing on it

 

Just takes up damn near the whole upper heh

 

lol, bulky.

 

Everyone seems to complain about the size and weight of the Elcan. It's probably the most bulky optic that's commonly used on a combat rifle. I was just using it as a comparison to the smaller and lighter Eotech 512.
