Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

I have some very nice scopes on some of my other AR's, but I don't need a $2400 ElcanDR, or anything like that. I also don't want the Walmart $39 super special, that's going to break after I cross my first boulder field with it. My gut instinct is to go with something around the $300 range, or less. Perhaps something like the Burris AR-536? https://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-...dot-sight.html I'm not crazy about this one, because I'm not crazy about the reticle. I think it would obscure to much of the target.


Suggestions on a scope that isn't going to break the bank, yet isn't a complete piece of shrapnel?
Worth a gander considering you wants and I've always had good luck with Leupold:

I have a Leupold scope on my 18" AR and have no complaints. I think I paid around $500 or $600 for it many years ago. Not a bank breaker but solid and reliable.

I have the Burris set up on my Ruger AR-556, the Vortex Spitfire on my turkey shotgun and the Vortex Hoghunter on my AR-10. I've had good luck with all these including a couple more Burris Veracity's and of course Leupolds.

I met a guy at the range the other day who had created an excellent scope mount for his M1A. Said he'd make one for mine for $100, and I think I'll take him up on it. If I do that, I plan on switching my Leopold scope to that, and then getting an ACOG for the AR that it's currently mounted on. I currently have an old EOTech 512 mounted on my M1A, and with my old man eyes that just doesn't cut it.

My next AR or something similar for a dedicated coyote rifle. Since Kansas has finally wised up and allow night hunting I'll probably add the below to it along with the ballistic laser.

Looks like a nice choice and I had no idea about that rifle and I am a Springfield Armory fan.

I ended up with the same thing in a 5X, for $382.49 with shipping, I think between the Springfield Saint rifle and the vortex scope, it should be a solid setup. With the whole package at just over 1K, I can live with it.

Interesting. Probably not going to take me off CorBon but still worth a look for CCW.

Like many of the rest of my fellow old farts, I have, over the years, developed old man eyes. While my distance vision is certainly better than my close up vision, it has also significantly deteriorated. I broke out my scoped AR and took it to the range earlier, mainly because I hadn't shot it in years and just wanted to put some rounds through it. At a 25 yard indoor range, using a 4X scope, I found myself looking at a blurry little red dot in the middle of a blurry black circle. While I still had about a two inch group with a couple of three inch flyers, it certainly wasn't anything like I could do back in the days when I could actually see what I was ****ing shooting at. At 25 yards with a scoped rifle I should be hitting a quarter-sized group.

I guess I could go to the eye doctor and ask for a different prescription for specific shooting glasses, but in the current political climate I'm kind of reluctant to do that. Does anybody know of any sort of shooting glasses that specifically address this problem? There's gotta be a market for it.

I've heard that green dots work much better for bad vision and astigmatism. Just over the last year or so, I've been developing astigmatism, and it ****ing sucks. My view of the red dot now has tiny red glare wings coming off both sides. Fortunately, it's symmetrical enough that I can still easily find the center dot. But getting old sucks.

I wasn't aware that there were shooting glasses that could reduce that..
