FYI, that Barnes 110gr Blacktip ammo that showed 4-5 week back order? Ya, it was delivered today

Shows in stock on Cabela's website as well.

 
Good deal, ill grab a couple.  Got the tracking for my upper, should be here Thursday!  I need to grab some subs next, any suggestions for quietest plinking round?

Not really sure on the subs. I've only really shot the test I linked and while the 208gr AMAX was the best accuracy wise, they all sounded pretty much the same to my ear.

I do have 250 Palmetto Projectiles subsonic on the way to try out as a cheap plinker round though.

Got my 8.5 in and painted.  Not sure if im going to keep the PRO, may need something smaller along with the LWRC UCIW.  
















Next to what i thought was a small'ish gun.  My 11.5 DD.





 
 
 

Excellent, looks good!

 

Thanks I'm happy with how it came out.  I saw in another one of your posts you have an MRO.  How are you liking it?  Any experience with the T1/T2 vs MRO?

I have about 500 rds of experience with a T1 so not a ton. I've only put about 300 through the MRO equipped BLK so far so experience is a bit limited there too.

Between the two, the MRO wins for me hands down. It beats the T1 on price, FOV, ease of manipulation and brightness (lack of decidedly blue tint). Both sights "ghost out" for me with two eyes open.

There is an ever so slight magnification to the MRO that is slightly noticeable at CQB type ranges but completely disappears at any distance greater than a bedroom.

The ONLY thing I like better about the T1 is the way the battery is placed in the sight...but that's a pretty minor concern for me.

I've always been both an Aimpoint and Trijicon (ACOG) fan but Trijicon will now be getting a lot of my RDS business. ---I own 3 sights from the M4 series, a TA31F, a TA33 and an MRO with soon to be 2 more MRO's (chosen in lieu of T2's).

One other honorable mention is the Deltapoint Pro by Leupold. I switched out an M4S on my 10.5" 5.56 Noveske for a DPP and so far that's been awesome as well...I don't really care for the brightness adjustment button but I can live with it.  Everything else about that sight screams quality. I was going for maximum weight reduction since that Noveske was HEAVY for an SBR and achieved it quite well.
