Tough call on an optic. PST in 1.93 or P4Xi in 1.5.
Having the NSW makes me want to go with the Steiner but the precision shooter in me knows the PST is gonna be 100% better at distance. I guess I gotta figure out what I want out of the rifle.

Mini Bro's
 Ended up going Steiner in 1.93. I was the fastest with it and it's a nice light mid mag rifle to fill the gap between a RDS and SPR/recce.  The PST made its way into my dad's rifle. He liked the reticle and size better in the 13.9

Anybody rocking a 14.5" "mini" recce in 6mm ARC?
Thinking thats going to be my next build this spring/summer Paired with a MVPO scope... 3-18x Basically an NSW Block II DMR in 6mm ARC Would that still be allowed within the "Mini Recce" gang, or is there a Mini DMR/SPR gang I'd have to get jumped in to?

Not an AR but hopefully it'll be allowed here. Damn elevation turret devours the acro window so there's more shaking out to do.

After you get past 4x the image quality starts to degrade and after 6x it's basically unusable. The RH25 is an awesome optic though. |

Received my Arken 1-8!last weekend. It’s going on my 11.3” Wilson combat 300blk mini. So far the jury is still out. The glass seems pretty good, illumination is better than the 1-4 nxs not as good as the p4xi but it has a 34mm tube and pulls a good bit of light compared to the 1-4 nxs. Plan to get it mounted and sighted in as soon as I can get to the range and plan on doing a comparison with it and the other optics sitting on my other minis.

 Been doing some reading about how 12.5" barrels perform and decided to try one out. Freshly assembled Daniel Defense 12.5" barrel. Next step is to test fire with the YHM suppressor gas block. I believe it will cycle fine with the can, but likely not enough gas without it as the gas port in the block is only 0.054" so it'll take some tuning to get it right. |
