    US government angry after Fitch downgrades country's credit rating

    Government is probably only upset that whatever backroom dealings holding back this de-raring have fallen through. No way anyone in government could possibly be surprisedat the de-rate otherwise given our out of control spending.

    Garand Ammo

    The S&B stuff shoots really well in my Garand. 30-06 M2 Ball loads are usually cheaper than most 7.62x51 loads these days.

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    See now the ELCAN has all kinds of problems with it. The elevation and windage adjustments are external and intergal to the mount itself, the scope body itself is moved and not the reticle itself and the adjustments themselves are fairly easily moved unintentionally as well as the scope body...

    Fixed 4X scope

    That is an example of me stating an opinion without taking into account that you might have specific needs for a 1x prism scope and having astigmatism is a great reason why that type of optic exists.

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    I was very impressed with how that rifle did in class. It handled very well and it's ergonomics make it quick to operate. I did not find myself any slower to put accurate fire on target compared to the 5.56 guns and overall was just a pleasure to work with. It was not a pleasure at all for...

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    I never saw the point of 1x prism scopes. 1x magnification but you still have an eye relief and parallax. Red dots and holographics do the same thing without either issue. I think for $1,000 the ACOG is still a solid buy, they have optical clarity on par with high end European scopes many...

    Fixed 4X scope

    Holosuns cost more than $150 don't they? Even for the cheap ones? In any case red dots are generally cheaper than scopes to begin with.

    Fixed 4X scope

    Honestly I think the cheapest scopes can get while being worth a shit is a couple hundred bucks or so. Anything less than $100 is guaranteed to be total garbage.

    Fixed 4X scope

    That's why you don't buy from no name China brands. Luepold makes a fixed 4x scope for around $300: https://www.leupold.com/shop/riflescopes/series/fx-series-fixed-power-rifle-scopes

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    I indeed used to have a TA11 mounted on that rifle at one point, only with the chevron reticle. I liked it alot and I thought it suited the Galil well but this time I was thinking the crosshair would be better

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    It would seem that a I have gotten a heads up from a little birdie (thank you very much!) That Eurooptic is running a deal on the exact ACOG I seek, at the former price of $1,000 and change. Unfortunately I haven't the dosh right this moment but I will start scrupulously saving my scheckles in...

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    Well, yes. However remember that the PLX 1-8 is also a premium, $1,400 optic and being a .308 the Galil could put that extra magnification to good use. On the other hand the Galil is a tank of a rifle, a real end-of-days firearm and the ACOG is an end-of-days tank of an optic as well. If...

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    I am indeed considering the PLX 1-8, you'll notice it is one of the two options of my poll . My issue with the PA micro prism is the muddy clarity and narrow field of view. The eye relief might be a little too close for use on the Galil which would have optic further forward than the rearmost...

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    Can't really do 45° offsets with the Galil. Ejection can be erratic, every so often it will spit a case back at a sharp angle to the rear, if it caught the offset dot it would likely be damaged. The cases eject with considerable vigor as is typical for AKs. Neither scopes are at all cheap...

    To be mounted on my beloved Galil Ace .308. I had an ACOG TA11 on it at one point but I had to sell it to raise some emergency cash. I really like the ACOG and I think it suited the Galil well, however the cost of ACOGs has risen above what the PA 1-8 goes for so I wonder if I shouldn't get...

    Sounds like the typical liberal type. "I support the 2A BUT....." type to me. Views on Rittenhouse are a litmus test of what kind of person you are. It indicates whether you are informed, ill-informed or a commie terrorist.

    5.7 pistols

    The 5.7 is a very cool round but really of minimal practical use to civilians. To get the most utility of the 5.7x28 you need the AP variety and a full auto gun to shoot them with. The only purpose of a 5.7 pistol is to be paired up with a carbine/PDW in 5.7. For the price of the ammo I think...
