Hey, nothing wants to be in that kinda heat any longer than is strictly necessary... not even a bullet!

Good point. In the main, there are two recognizable primary patterns in the market. "SR-25", which is Armalite, the originator of the AR-10 platform, and "DPMS" (LR-308). The "SR-25" pattern is distinguished by radius-terminated straight angles at the rear of the upper receiver, whereas "DPMS" types feature a single large radius.

The problem is almost as old as the platform in some ways... The best analogy I've heard for this phenomonon is this: Mustangs and Corvettes are both sportscars, but you wouldn't use either to refer to the other interchangeably. This is why "AR-10" is a misnomer or unsuitable general term for the platform of a large AR, it is specific to a brand and a design compatibility type, and applying that term to broadly to imcopatible types is misleading and problem ridden. The nomenclature matters.

He definitely adds an unwarranted amount of class to this place, when he can be bothered to show up....

Yea, verily! I can confirm that this is an optimization of the coolest kind for the platform. Tried, tested, proven.

What would you like to know? It's an evolutionary variant of the Mk12 Mod 0 and Mod 1 SPR role that began life in the special forces branches and has helped shape the role of the Designated Marksman in conventional warfare.

Yes, but you still need a visual aiming reference in order to get the gun oriented correctly to the target.

What was the number for the bullet apex elevation from Line of Sight again? Hundreds of feet, but I don't remember the number.....

Those pieces are separate, though they move together when you change the magnification. Rotate the eyepiece free of the locking ring by rotating it counterclockwise beyond the point where the magnification adjustment stops/locks out, then maximize the magnification. Adjust the parallax (infinity works best) so that the optic is not focused, then adjust the eyepiece until the reticle is clear. When you have the eyepiece set correctly, the reticle will always be clear regardless of parallax or magnification. Once the eyepiece is set, preserve the relationship between the eyepiece and the magnification ring, and tighten the locking ring.

Yes sir, that's normal functionality on a NightForce. Won't hurt a thing.

Sorry to hear about Tucker, poor fella.

Wow, what a ride! I think I need a cigarette now...

🤣 So Melody talked me into venturing down to Greeneville, SC for a big homeschooling convention. Though I'm a huge homeschooling proponent, this would not usually be my jam... However, I elected to humor my sweetie and tag along, and then I spotted these shmoes... Totally worth the travel, hotel room, and time/cost. Got to spend a bit of time with both, and they're as hilarious and awesome in person as they are onscreen.

Oh, this guy was there too...

Hey Tom, look who I found...
