Videoed this guy last night in my field. Needless to say really hoping to see him in october.

The big reason people use the one piece cantilever mounts on ars it to get the scope far enough forward for proper eye relief and to keep mounts off your rail. If yours is locked in good and eye relief is good, then id say ur good. My only worry is obviously you have more screws to worry about coming loose.

You need to measure from base of the rings to the center, i believe thats how the manufacturer will list a measurement. So if you measure your current setup u can shop around for that measurement.

For military purposes, weight is a consideration. I believe my m16a4 with acog, surefire, and pec14 or whatever its designation was...it weighed just under 10lbs i believe with a 30rd mag. Id carry around 300 rounds on me. Now think of that with 7.62. Its going to be significantly more. Plus there is the added recoil, when clearing houses and the real possibility of fast follow up shots needed the 5.56 is superior. However i will say, i would like to of had the option of carrying a rifle in 7.62. I was the designated marksman for my platoon, i would have liked the added ass behind the 7.62 for any potential long range engagement. But back on topic, great looking gun!

Id like to add, if you want to try diaphram calls definitely give MFK a try. I was using foxpro before i got the mfk and the mfk are easier to get good sound out of and make good long howls.

They are not cheap but check out Larue scope mounts, id bet they have one that will work for you.

Went out solo last night for a quick night. 2nd set had a pack of yotes light up probably 200 yards into the woods. Tried my best with different calls/silence but they never came out. Had 4 fields in the area i could go to next, figured they would be hunting into the wind most likely. Went to a field 1/4 mile down the road and setup. 7 mins in they sounded off again. Maybe 100-150 yards into the woods. We went back and fourth for 5 mins. No one showed up. At about 30 min in a single yote howled a few hundred yards away to my left, then the pack lit up again infront of me. Just wouldnt come out of the woods. Fun night for no shots. Getting used to the night vision and new rifle.

Is it a 50mm objective?

Honestly either would be a good choice for getting into nv. You here about glitches with the atn. The only bad on wraith ive heard is battery life, and if sound during recording is important the wraith doesnt have that.

It really a simple setup. Not 100% sure how people screw it up. I totally get that it no top end optic, but for my $70 raffle win im happy with it. Sighted it in the other day. I will say the one shot sight in stinks. You shoot, move a second set of crosshairs to the impact and then you are on. Well i like to be very exact when zeroing a rifle. At 100 yards you can not see a .204 hole in the target zoomed in. So i walk down, note were the shot is move the crosshairs to were i believe the hole was. Shoot, walk down, nope still a inch off.. shoot, walk, close...close enough. I should have brought out my spotting scope. I just like being able to say move 3" down, 2" left and just go thru my clicks on a conventional scope. But no biggie its on, now waiting on my IR led so i can hunt.

What i wrote was in no way aimed at you. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Push out rear take down pin, strip rounds off the mag. Or keep gun together and pull charging handle which will load then eject the rounds.

Also...i reccomend the bear flag speed loaders over the mean arms. Just my 2 cents.

As far as how fixed is fixed...imagine standing infront of a liberal judge and the prosecutor makes his case against you by showing the judge your full featured ar without a mag in it... they wont care if it has to be opened up to remove the mag, clearly its not fixed.

Grampy i would caution any off brand AR purchase. Ask as many questions you can about were the parts were made. Especially barrel and bolt cartier group. If they dance around it then most likely china. If they say Bear creek arsenal i caution you there also. From everything ive read u have about a 25% chance of getting a good barrel. The weight u mentioned is probably within a half pound of a aluminum rifle.I would definitely look at a smith m&p sport 2. For the price which you should be able to find for $650-$750. They are very popular and very durable. 16" barrel noise is marginally louder than a 20". The type of muzzle break on the end is whats going to cause the noise. If it became a issue just take off the break and put on a thread protector. Someone could build a damn good ar for u in that $600-650 range. Pm me if you have questions, i dont want to sound arrogant but i have been working and using ARs for a long time.

Yes once the mag is fixed you can all scary features. Threaded muzzle, muzzle break, bayonet lug, forward grip, pistol grip, and collapsible stock. Detachable mag, your looking featureless, non of whats posted above. So u are looking and thordsan stock, or spur grip are the most popular choices.

I work shows for DDs ranch.

And thats the thing, the law say is has to be non detachable if it has scary features. If i ever ended up in a court room with a lawyer explaing to the judge the definition of detachable and theres my gun with a magazine detached from it...again everyone can do as they wish but unfortunately im stuck in this state and i dont feel like spending time in jail for something so stupid.

9-3

Honestly and people will argue this to death. I wouldnt own one. For the simple reason you can open the receiver take the mag out close the receiver. You now have a rifle with all the scary features and the mag detached. That is against the safe act. I know all of this is bullshit, i know alot of police could care less, i know theres dealers selling them. I wouldnt own it. Either pin the mag, or go featureless or build what you want and dont get caught.

Very busy day for us at DDs ranch. All of the sudden people are buying again. Hamburg gun show and this one are complete opposite of the last year of gun shows. Hoping tomorrow i get a chance to walk around and shop maybe.

Ive also read alot of people having the freezing issue. Did the firmware update not that ive used it alot but so far so good. Were did u get the ir led for your wicked??? Ive checked everywere, i have to call allpredatorcalls.com on wed they are suppose to have some coming in.

Heading over at noon to set up DDs ranch tables. Always a good show. Shows lately and and business lately has been pretty good.

AR10 gets kinda picky. Theres primarily 2 patterns, DPMS, and Armalite. You have to make sure that you know whos pattern your building when you start. This obviously goes for the upper and lower fitment.
