Lonewolf McQuade Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Well, i couldn't take having a new toy -unfired! Drug my gimpy a$$ out to the 50 yard range to rought sight the T7. Fuken love it!! Performs FLAWLESS! It was a bear getting set up, targets hung & boresighted through the barrel with the guts removed, then make adjustments. I wasn't shooting for accuracy, just to get it roughly sighted in. Recoil was not bad & the Wolfhound optic was fucken amazing! Perfect for fast acquisition. I only fired 20 rounds, but scope held zero thus far. Next outing, I'll fine tune @ 100& 200yds Edited July 18, 2020 by Lonewolf McQuade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolf McQuade Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 For anyone more inquisitive about the Sightmark Wolfhound optic, it's pretty much the $300 affordable knockoff of the $1700 Elcan Spector. Similar reticle and function & about the same weight even. 1.5lb vs 1.3lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolf McQuade Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Took the T7 out today to try with the lighter Remington umc 150gr. Not bad. The FGGM & PPU MATCH 168's produced 1.5" groups @100yds. The 150's about 1" groups @100yd. That 1/12 twist definitely seems to like the lighter stuff best, but both are acceptable. Once the shortage and prices come down, I'm going to have to get me some quantity of 147 to 150 grain quality ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolf McQuade Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Took the T7 out this evening to try the new UTG Recon Flex M lok bipod out. Much better & more solid than the picitinny rail mounted one I originally had on the rifle.

COBrien Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 @Lonewolf McQuade Man, I've been looking for this thread. Just couldn't remember what forum it was on, as you and I seem to run in the same circles... Glad to hear the Wolfhound is working well. I'm now torn between it and the PA 5x prism. Comparable price (like, within $10 or so most places), but the PA looks to be slightly more compact. Plus, I will soon have a new home for my VX-HOG that's currently sitting on my T7 -- a 6.8 upper that's coming together slowly (just waiting on my barrel & bolt from H @ ARP).

Lol, I've searched for threads before myself, no clue which forum it was from.😂 I believe either optic you choose (Wolfhound or PA) would be a great choice. I do love the Wolfhound, but understand the desire for PA, especially if it's more compact. I didn't like the offset irons on the bullpup. Great idea, but it put my face a bit too close for comfort near the ejection port. Probably safe but.....close! I ended up removing them & installing regular flip ups on the main rail.

One question I haven't found an answer for yet, though... Does the PA 5x accept any "ACOG" QD mount? Running this on my Tavor with flip-up irons is going to be useless unless I can get the thing off in a hurry. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting on my PA 5x to show up. When I ordered it, Optics Planet showed "Unknown ETA," and PA showed "Out of Stock." Now OP shows "5-7 weeks," PA has had a batch come and go, and OP just sent me an e-mail estimating my ship date as 1/27. Of course, the riser I also purchased isn't going to be shipped until sometime in February. So... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshlt that they claim in stock when they are actually out &;awaiting more down the road. Optics Planet is good for that kinda crap. Hopefully your orders arrive quickly now, may need it....soon.

The ones from American Defense (ADM) are very, very nice - and I love some ADM mounts, for my red-dots and red-dot magnifiers. The ones from LaRue are REALLY nice, as well - and the ADMs run a little bit less $$$... 10 hours ago, COBrien said: I'm waiting on my PA 5x to show up.

It's set,right out of the box, to mount right up to any AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
