Sharpshooter Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 If I'd seen that, I would have bought it. And I don't buy much. Congrats!

Considering the price, it was too hard to pass on. Besides, I've been a member here a couple years & didn't have a 308 AR, so I kinda HAD to lol
98Z5V Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 Here you go, brother - hit up Tech Note #78 in this link: There used to be another one, about slightly bending the springs, to drop the weight even more, but I can't find that one right now. Maybe Pat can point that one out.

Sisco Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 To this day, I don’t know why they discontinued that rifle. It had a 1 MOA guarantee from Armalite. How many off the shelf AR’s can say that?

Lonewolf McQuade Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Posted April 7, 2021 I may be over complicating it. I think I can learn rangeing with the dots, kind of lost on how to figure out how many clicks to raise for known yardage.

The likelihood is that they are MIL turrets.
392heminut Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 That's a great looking rig and you got a god deal! I wouldn't have been able to pass that one up either! I gotta ask though, did you actually drink all that Crown!

It's been some time since I upgraded so I don't remember all the specifics but I think I did it for more reticle and bullet choices built in, something convinced me to spend $14 anyway. I really can't say there was much difference for me thinking about it now. Do like I did and run the free version for awhile and see what you think.

You come out to one of my shoots, and all those questions will go away, and you'll understand that scope completely. I guarantee that. I'll give you a double-your-money-back guarantee on that one.
