EZTundra77 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I've been shooting most of my life but I am new to the AR platform. Didn't like the DI concept in general (no offense). But I learned about piston driven AR's so I gave them a shot. Got my PWS Mk116 Mod 1 for father's day. Amazed at the reduced recoil. My "go to" semi-auto rifle prior to this was a Saiga 308. Needless to say, this PWS felt like my .22LR Nylon 66 in comparison. I liked the PWS so much, I got a PWS Mk216 as an early Christmas present. Which brings me here. So far, I've added a BCM vert grip, a set of offset Troy HK BUIS, and I just ordered a Nightforce 2.5-10x42 NXS ZeroStop w/ MOAR. I normally use nightforce mounts, but I did not want 20moa built into the mount, so I ordered a LaRue LT-111-30 OBR QD mount. I was tempted to try the USO 1.5-10x37 but I have been so impressed with my NF 8-32x56 NXS that I couldn't jump ship. I'm sure USO makes awesome products but I am very familiar with the platform function of the NF NXS optics so I figured I'd keep it simple. Any suggestions you all have are welcome.

EZTundra77 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Thanks y'all. Happy to be here. Any words of wisdom to throw at a first timer to AR308 platform? I have literally only put 30 rounds through this PWS Mk2. I wasn't even supposed to have it yet as it's a Xmas present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Arbor is a microsphere of absolute perfection. When a U of M student farts, it actually cleans the air a little bit. Plus, here, we have the thriving Metropolis of Detroit nearby which allows for many activities ranging from wholesome, to downright sinister.

My affiliation ends there. My brother went to OSU, was in the band his roommate was on the football team. Our next door neighbor in Cleveland when he grew up went to UM played football then played in the NFL. His mom won an Olympic gold medal in'64 (4x100} Tennessee track program was king then.

MikedaddyH Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I watched the replay of the UM vs OSU game in the middle of the night,this morning. HoLeeSheet, double overtime. Better than the box score. Worth all the hype ! Two of the best teams in the country ! The old quarterback lost his cool on the sidelines more than once ! Bo S. would have told him to chill before he has a heart attack. The game was epic, I dont think Wisconsin or Penn State are as good as these two teams.
