    I have a ffp 6-24 Athlon scope, i dont remember the exact model but its one of their low/mid level. I have been very happy, the turrets are very tactile and have been very repeatable. Its mounted on a 223 bolt so they get a lot of use dialing elevation! Glass is clear and crisp for the proce range.

    Cool.
    Yeah I have not tried those yet...
    In fact I don’t think I’ve even seen them up here in Canada.

    good info. I was thinking about removing a front site post and installing a Geissele handguard on one of my uppers. That will be ways off though.

    No, the hardest part is the clean up. spackle/Squeegee a small portion it on with a credit. Press it in, then scrape it clean as you can with the credit card. THen clean up the excess with q-tip and baby oil.
    It came out looking best on the "HK" style indicators
