If you are running in open then you need this instead of open sights

Most of the shooting we have done is close. Haven't shot any real distance yet.
I am still struggling to work out what I want sight/optic wise.
Can't decide whether I go scope or dot with magnifier.
Shot an AR with an eotech and magnifier that had a very small dot I liked, but not sure on eotech stuff.

Just not sure on brands.

The two I am interested in are the Steyr AUG , and the SIG550 , shoot both , However , the due to the design of the SIG , I have heard a few complaints of the 550 having slight accuracy issues , BUt I feel it is still more than acceptable for GovT work .
The complaints come from the Swiss , and they have the most actual trigger time with this platform .
RE : the AUG , trigger someone makes a " trigger tamer " for it , BUT , all I would do , would be strip the trigger down , sand down the mold line on the sear surfaces , then use the issue graphite powder that NZ Army uses .
And yes , 1 ) It makes a BIG difference in both smoothness & pull weight , & 2 ) YES , I have done exactly what I have said on a Steyr AUG rifle .
Accuracy , would favour the AUG , I believe , also , spare mags would be maybe easier to get ?
As both are piston guns , they would have less problems running a suppressor , than DI guns .

1-6 is plenty for 3 gunQuote:

I'm thinking along the lines of getting the same scope when I can find it available, let me know if you find it somewhere for a good priceQuote:

That's why I settled on the strikefire FOV is almost identical.Quote:

That's cool, I've been watching Vortex 1-6x24 Strike Eagle Riflescope (AR-BDC Reticle) SE-1624-1
Pricing seems to be set well, has anyone had any word on likely price in NZ
Over $850 is what I have seen so far.Quote:

I have pre-ordered one from your link.😆
Will pick it up in Oz when there with work to save a bit.
No one has them in stock yet by the looks.

Ok, then so where's the Oz link??? :)
Might just have to get one sent to my hotel.....
No confirmed Oz link yet. Got a tenative price but will ship to there from the states to save a hassle.😆Quote:

Same scope apparently - they also have a distributor in Aus so may be cheaper than the vortex if heading that way.
Optisan Optics: Riflescope, Cx6 Series, 1-6X24i
Tempted to jump on a Zeiss Duralite 1.2-5, can get it for $999 but think I'll hang out for a 1-6. Those Optisan look nice
I have a first gen z6i that would sell, would make a awesome 3gun scope. Otherwise it will go on my 9mm ar
Think there has been big demand for the strike eagle and Vortex are behind production. Reloaders were supposed to have some in April but only received 10% of their total Vortex order. They weren't sure on a price until they were landed but they are normally much cheaper than NZ guns on optics from past experience. See it has an export restriction on it too.
The Vortex Razors 1-6 do seem to be one of the top scopes for 3 gun by the yanks and a very nice scope, but they are quite big and heavy.
Obviously not really an issue if just set up for 3 gun, but if like a lot Kiwis hunt with same rifle the much lighter strike eagle looks a pretty good compromise
Got a pic of that z6 mate?Quote:

Id take res up on his offer on the z6. The vortex strike eagle was ok at the U.S. price and will sell well but its 1x is a bit average. The sig electros at a bit more were a big step up. The new trijicons accupowers could be worth a look too.
A J.P precision deserves something nice like a Z6, you don't buy a Ferrari then put cheap tires on it..
After buying a JP it would be very understandable if the toy fund waste low for a z6!
I got me a U.S. Optics 1-8 that I'm hoping is a upgrade
You might want to be careful with that.Quote:

That is ANY accessories. Even slings.

Brought scopes from Oz in my carry on heaps of times. Brought them in as well No dramas at all.
I don't have it in its original box and how are they to know where I got it. Been questioned about them but only to start a conversation about hunting and the like.
Just re read the importation of accessories. Scopes are not on the list
So safe to carry in and out.

The Australian Government monitors and controls the export of firearms and related goods. Firearms, firearm parts, accessories and ammunition, regardless of the state, age, completeness or working condition, are subject to export controls under Commonwealth legislation.
To export an item subject to these controls, the exporter must first obtain authorisation from a delegated officer of the Australian Government.
Export Firearms : Department of Defence
Scopes and accessories that are being exported without the firearm, are required to have a Defence Export Permit.
A Defence Export Permit may be used to export all forms of firearms and related goods including those where an Restricted Goods Permit may be used.
Permits are valid for twelve months from issue and are issued by the DECO.
There are certain circumstances for which only a Defence Export Permit can be used. These include:
-exports of five (5) or more firearms;
-unaccompanied exports; for example, goods being exported as cargo or by courier;
-exports of any amount of higher-risk or military firearms including their parts, accessories, and ammunition. This includes firearms referred to as Category C and D under State and Territory legislation, firearms over 0.50” (12.7mm) calibre and all automatic firearms;
-any firearm parts, accessories, sights, ammunition, magazines, etc, being exported without firearms; and
-firearms being exported for the purpose of repair, return, sales or as a gift.
To apply for a Defence Export Permit you will need to complete an Application to Export Controlled Goods and Technology form.
Firearms Permit : Department of Defence
While many people have done so without the required paperwork. I would suggest against doing so in the future.
Penalties
Failure to obtain permission to export is an offence under section 233BAB of the Customs Act 1901 and can attract a penalty of up to A$425,000 and or imprisonment for up to 10 years.

I'll do what I want. I am not exporting anything. I am taking what's mine. home😆

If a Majistrate is going to do me over a sling swivel or scope good luck to the idiot. I couldn't care less😆
