Frankh252 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Anyone have any experience with the MSE from Finish First Tactical? http://www.finishfirsttactical.com/optics/mse-red-dot-sight
blue109 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Posted March 20, 2016 Uh oh Frank...it's been a while since THE RULE has been invoked, but I think you just went and did it.

jtallen83 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Ahhhh, THE RULE. Yep looks like the rule is in play here, looking forward to hearing what this MSE is all about ;-)
unforgiven Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Looks like a good sight,other IDF sights had a less than glowing review.This seems like a newer model.They might have resolved thier issues of washout and less than bright outdoors.Shield was $446.00.w/Brownells lifetime warrenty.

Actually, compared to any RDS I've ever seen it's flippin HUGE. But now I'm more interested in finding out what THE RULE is haha
blue109 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Posted March 20, 2016 Well Frank, we sort of have a rule round these parts. If you ask for an opinion on a cool part, and nobody here has tried it, you volunteer to be the guinea pig. :D
jtallen83 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 THE RULE is how I ended up drilling out the gas port on my first 308 build, asked if anyone had heard of X-Caliber Barrels, nobody had tried one so now we all know about them....I got lucky, they were on sale and with the knowledge base here guiding me I was able to end up with a decent shooter. I've seen good reviews on the MSE but then they are from the same gun rags that gave the R-51 good reviews..................
Frankh252 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 OK, as soon as all 5728 forum members chime in that they haven't tried the MSE I'll order one ;) In the meantime there are some quirks about the company that I'd like to look into, such as the fact that you can't find the sight on their site and they mainly provide things like machine-shop services & hydrographics, or that when you plug their address into Google Earth it lands you smack on top of the Spring Valley Community Church Office bldg.
jtallen83 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 I think THE RULE gives a certain time limit then if nobody chimes in with a review it's on you. Here is a link to one for sale; http://www.reilens.com/mse-aqc-2c-reflex-sight-black.html On Optics Planet they list them as discontinued so maybe there is an issue with them; http://www.opticsplanet.com/mse-aqc1c-reflex-sight-35x24mm-cr123-battery-qd.html
blue109 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Posted March 20, 2016 I was in a similar situation last year and bought a somewhat unknown rds by armasight. Nothing really wrong with it, but it was nothing special and I traded it off. Sort of my little lesson to only buy well known and vetted optics. If it is discontinued, most likely a reason for that.
unforgiven Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 I'm thinkin from now on big ticket items will go through Brownells.Not always the cheapest but they have a solid warrenty and it's been vetted.
blue109 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Posted March 20, 2016 Just don't special order anything from them! Holy crap what a pain. I'll save that story for another post.
unforgiven Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Let's see how long this backorder takes.At least they don't charge you'r card till it delivers.
Frankh252 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Found out a few things about the MSE's. Apparently the ACQ-1B that I linked to is discontinued and is no longer made by the mfgr. The ACQ-2C linked by jtallen has a (highly undesirable) visible laser designator but the AQC-2D found here http://www.asiascopes.com/riflescopes-sights/mse.html and here http://www.asiascopes.com/riflescopes-sights/mse/mse-aqc-2d-reflex-sight-black.html has a visible laser designator and/or IR. Also read some info indicating that CCA (Command Arms) is the sole importer of the MSE sights and they only have the Hartman MH1, available for pre-order only, here http://store.commandarms.com/hartman-red-dot-reflex-sight-1/ but the PTT is no longer supplied and is optional for an additional $50. Hartman’s site in Israel found here http://hartman-il.com/

Magwa Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Indeed I learned the rule when I mentioned and asked for a opinion on elfman triggers it turned out all good it is my favorite trigger and quite a few of the guys here bought them as well just put another on my 300 BO...
Frankh252 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Gotta run & look at some property with the wife but as former CaliGov once said, I'll be back
DNP Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 On June 23, 2014 at 8:26 PM, Robocop1051 said: First off, Rule 65b always applies. Second, "The Rule" forced me to buy a $70 custom stainless steel bolt catch and a $1000 carbon fiber wrapped barrel. I may also owe my addiction to BattleComp to "The Rule" as well. THE RULE If you post, inquiring about a product, be it new or old, and no one responds with a review within 48 hours, you are hereby required to buy said product, and review that product, so that this rule doesn't apply to the next person with the same inquiry. "The Rule" shall not apply to the announcement of new or upcoming products, unless there is some context inquiring as to who will be the first to assume ownership of said product. At that point "The Rule" will once again apply to the poster, who will be obligated to be the first in the stated question. While this shouldn't need to be stated... pictures are required, or that schit didn't happen.
Frankh252 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Ok I get it. This is a game called "Let's see if we can get the newby idiot to buy a discontinued $700 boat anchor for a sight!" I like it. Good one.
