    Good day for it. I bet you had a smile on your face.

    Was going to set up that rifle I showed you on Friday but kids activities have gotten in the way today. Maybe tomorrow instead, wx permitting.

    Haha. Nothing like getting through a few rounds to relieve some stress.

    Looks like it's ejecting with enthusiasm - remind me not to spot for you.

    New 10.5" barrel off TM (overrun contact barrels). Fingers crossed it shoots as good as the CMMG it replaced. Very happy with how it looks and feels on the carbine.

    Excuse my ignorance @omegaspeedy but how does that scope setup work? Is the aft part a magnifying lens for the front sight? Advantages?

    The rig looks nice.

    Hi planenutz, no worries at all, the setup uses a holographic sight which is similar to red dot sights but a different technology (Laser same system as used on a head-up display developed for military aircraft). As you can see it's bigger, heavier and actually has far less battery life than a red dot so you you wonder why bother? For someone (like me) who has an astigmatism in the eye, these sights distort far less and a big plus for me is the 1MOA dot which allows a more useable dot behind the magnifier for distant shooting. Typical red dot sights have 2MOA dots that balloon out to 4-5MOA dots when the astigmatism is bad. Behind the sight is a x 3 magnifier that can be rapidly moved either in front of, or away from the holographic sight. So for me advantages are close in shooting capability as well as reasonably accurate distant shooting. The 1MOA dot, a transparent 65MOA ring for fast shooting and of course a very robust military proven set-up. Cons, battery life, weight bulkiness and price. One point to mention is these sights look terrible the first time you look through them because of the pixelated appearance, especially if your used to a red dot, but once you understand them and get used to the reticle, it grows on you. The 65MOA is quite fuzzy but the 1MOA dot is sharp. When you put a magnifier behind it, the 65MOA reticle looks fantastic and sharp and theres more 'air' around the target so it's not obscured.
