just finished my kinda mini recce, it has a 14.5" barrel. Just wondering what everyone was putting up weight wise on them. Mine seems a little on the heavy side weighing in at 8lbs 9oz. That's without a mag but with the vortex 1-4 and mini scout mounted. By far one of my favorite rifles to shoot, I'm just curious about weight.

Eh, that's about right, depending on your barrel profile. My mini recce is a 14in govt profile, chrome lined barrel. Its got a Geissele 13in mk8, mini scout, and swarovski 1-6 and I only weigh 4 ounces less than you. |

Tried a 13in, said it was too big. I talked it into a 11.7in SLR ION Lite. It was pleased. (won a 12in stealth in the raffle )

I'm currently playing around with a riser underneath the mount, and the added height actually makes it quite faster and easier to find the eyebox for me. The whole "heads up" shooting thing definitely has merit. If I end up liking this like I think will, I may just switch to the "H" |

Zip tied the MRDS onto the Thorntailn offset mount to see if it was a feasible option. Ended up buying an ADM-22 mount for it using Amazon rewards points, look forward to trying it out. |

Mil pricing was around 250 and honestly.....holy shit. at 4x I was hitting 30/30 with 52bthp at 300y on an ipsc steel silhouette.

How is a 1x optic for close shooting? Similar to a dot? No. Reflex dot verses a prismatic scope at 1x are not the same. They are also slower with both eyes open. The 1-4x is a trade off. On the upside you get a fancy reticle and some magnification for longer shots and target id. On the downside you lose some speed at 1x. I have tried a few different 1-4x scopes on my sbr trying to like them but I keep going back to red dot for the speed within 100 meters. On my 16" recce I use a 1-4x SWFA and its awesome. You just have to decide what you what your rifle to do. |

Thanks man, I might eventually buck up and buy a KAC 1.93" mount to get rid of the combo but I wanted to try out the height before committing. Out of all the things on the gun the height of the optic is what I do like. |
