Ain't that the truth? I'm already pumped.

Oh HELL no brother! This isn't a build. Just adding some "parts" to the existing rifle. Now, YOU, have definitely got the itch brother. (said backing away cautiously)

That's a gorgeous rifle brother.

Now you know that you can't buy these in our state. Sure hope that you don't go to Pennsy or Virginia any time soon.

Game 3! Getting ready to start.

So I was out in the Odenton area of Maryland today. It's an area just on the other side of Fort Meade/NSA. We have a mail/freight drop out there that I get material shipped to for work. I went out there to pick up a small pallet full of stuff. And of course......it wasn't there. So instead of going home, I figured that I'd stay close in the area in case the shipment came in......cause I wasn't heading back here once I got home. Now....UNFORTUNEATELY.....It's not far from the Jessup area. Only about 10 to 15 minutes actually. And I needed to kill some time. FUK ME! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....................................... (everybody sing along, you all know the words that are about to come outta my dumb-ass fukin mouth) I went stumbling through the doors of my local gun pusher. I figured that I was only gonna be killing some time. And after all, I was still looking for an ADM mount for that Sig glass that the low-life, tricky bastard made me buy the last time I went in there. So I was walking around waiting for him to finish up with some other guy. When, low and behold, he happened to have some of those Sig (unicorn made) 10 round mags for a P220. He had 3 of them hanging on the shelf, so I figured that I was getting about 3 of them. So I snag those things and dropped them on the counter beside him. So he finished with the guy before me, and then asked what brought me around on a Tuesday. I related the story of getting boned by my mail drop, and told him that I was killing some time to give the truck a little extra to make it before I headed home. The PRICK! He looked down at the 3 mags, and asked if this was all that I wanted. So I casually threw out that I'd be interested in a ADM mount for the glass that I had gotten from him. But he didn't have any on his shelf with all the other mounts. He effortlessly reached into a case on his counter and pulled one out. "You mean one of these?", he asked. GAWD DAMMIT! His trap had been sprung. All I could say was "Yeah....one of those....I'll take it". The heartless bastard. So, figuring that the worst was over with at this point, I thought that it would be safe to relax and let my guard down. Well..................I was wrong as usual. So we started talking about night vision optics (ATN) that I've been looking at recently. NOW DON'T GO GETTING ALL AHEAD OF YOURSELVES. I was telling him how I couldn't believe some of the prices that they're asking. From the, relatively, reasonable position that is. So just for grins (UH HUH), he pulls up on his computer one of those X-Sight HD 5x20 optics that I had been thinking about. We were both laughing with what they can supposedly do. And for that price. With that, he threw out " I can get you one of those for a little over 5 and a half....They're in stock at my supplier". The no good, low down, RAT BASTARD! Needless to say........................I told him to go ahead and get it. Even though he was laughing, saying that he knew that I was getting this just to prove that it couldn't do all that it said it did. Yep.....he's right. But we'll find out I guess. All this while I'm still knocking around the idea of getting a PS28-3. Obviously this one won't be for the MRAD. I think that it's only rated for clarity and accuracy out to about 1000 yards. So it'll end up on my 10 SASS more than likely, since the nightforce has found a home on the MRAD. Anyway, while we wait for the new optic to show up. Here's a couple pics from today, with what I walked out of there with in my hands. I couldn't keep it in my pants. So I threw the new mount and the aforementioned Sig glass onto my DSA FAL SBR (yep....it's a mouthful no doubt). Oh....and she's a side folder. And DSA did the engraving on the side for no additional fee. Hell....I didn't even ask for it. They just threw it in for nothing (once again....relatively). More to come ladies, when the optic gets here.

Ahh......a little directory assistance huh?

I was shocked that they didn't CRUSH my soul today like they did in game 1. They're good at that ya know. We'll see how this progresses with game 3 on Tuesday.

I see a pattern forming here. Oh yeah.......I get it.

I wouldn't go that far dude. You've still got ALL of the "Very Liberal" northern Virginian's that seem to run that state. Though granted, you all aren't as communist as this state..........yet. Just give it time. Anything that even touches DC is slowly rotted as the cancer spreads.

Oh, you've got to be fukin kidding me. Come on, did somebody change the state after I went to bed last night?

Welcome aboard Gopher, from Maryland.

And you say that you're not good at grillin stuff. You lying rat bastsrd. You beat me hands-down any day of the week. Ya prick.

As if we need to "Talk" you into anything.

I hear ya brother. I'm not rushing into anything in this price range. But the specs (and capabilities) on their site are pretty awesome. Between the wifi, Bluetooth, HD video, range finding, POI compensating gobblede-gook. I figured that all of us could decide if this was a worth while decision. This is why I threw it out to the group here.

I agree brother. But if a "failure" happens, you're already at a great distance. so, supposedly no harm no foul to you (as the shooter). You just displace and regroup back to "friendly" territory.

Okay you bastards. So I've been thinking since this originally came up (about 3 whole days ago). I've gotta keep upping the game since Matt and Tom just seem to keep stepping up the yardage. They're doing yardage, so I've gotta bring the equipment. Sooooo. I've been mulling this over. Now granted, there's a good amount of price difference between the two. But I'm thinking about these two optics. AND none of you fukers can hold me to "The Rule" since I ain't asking if any of you bastards have either of these. So, with that being said, let's have a good talk/decision on if I should get either of these for us to play with come the fall. The first ( and cheaper of the two) is this. https://www.atncorp.com/x-sight2-hd-day-night-rifle-scope-5-20x Now, first of all. We all know that ATN makes military grade equipment. The price just blows me away for what this thing says it is (and is capable of). Now, granted, this one is "JUST" night vision. But it seems like it does a whole hell of a lot for the "cheap" price. If all is true. This thing would definitely be BADASS to put on my SASS since my Nightforce NXS has obviously been regulated (only) to the MRAD after Tom and Matt zero'd that fuker on over 600 yards (and capable of much more). And that thing was banging steel with no problems with no matter WHO we layed down behind it. Second........................................IS THIS! https://www.atncorp.com/thermal-scope-thor-hd-640-2-5x-25x Once again. ATN is no fukin joke. A military grade, high performance thermal sight. I know that it seems pricey, but if it can do all that they say that it can do (which realistically I have no doubt). We can have a hell of a time doing the night shoots come this fall. And this thing could easily (meaning probably) take the place of the Nightforce on the MRAD (as if it wouldn't). With all of the features (which the other one has except the thermal capabilities), this would be one FUN FUKIN toy to be able to play with. So ladies. Let's think about this. And let's not just say "BUY IT" just for the sake of saying it. I want to help bring this crowd into the area of superior equipment, and elite talent and performance. We're a group like no other. At least few that I've had the pleasure of being around. And that's all of you........even the ones that I haven't met face to face with yet. So? Tell me what you think. And I'm fukin serious. Good, bad, pros and cons. You all said BRING IT! I'm willing to give it a shot. I LOVE THIS CROWD! You guys ARE my BROTHERS! (Damn......I must be one STUPID M-FER)

Sounds like you're all over it brother.

Well, can't you sell something for a can?

Yeah.............it fits.

I have no idea who you must be talking about. (sly grin)

Yep

Uhhh....you actually expect me to believe that? Hmmm?

This coming from the Lead Enabler.

Point taken.
