    I would if I could but I can't so I shan't. Don't even know what that is.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yeah dawg


    Nah it's nice for wallabies and stuff. Fast shooting. Saves me buying both an ACOG and an Aimpoint Micro T-1 with QD mounts

    It's not uncommon.

    Anyone got one I can have a play with first? The only thing stopping me is the 640gm weight. ACOG is like 450gm.

    Will it make your knob any bigger? Does it really do anything a 2-7 power bushnell wont do?

    Seriously is owning one of those actually going to make a difference to anybodies life?

    Get a bushie and put the $$ towards some gen 3 NV gear

    A 2-7 bushnell is gay though

    If my knob grew I'd need new trousers, that'd be no good
