In an attempt to consolidate someof the many optics threads that have been tacked to the top, I am placing them all here. I resisted doing this for so long, and would rather not. But there are soooo many tacked threads that I think it is necessary. I apologize in advance for any trouble or confusion this causes...

Whats the best General Purpose Optic

Cheap scope opinions

Pictures of the view through ACOGs, Aimpoints, EoTechs and more!

EoTech FAQ thread

Back Up Iron Sight FAQ thread

Trijicon Reflex opinions

C-More opinions

The ACOG bullet drop thread disappeared as well. The link is there, but I get kicked to the optics page.

The link to the ACOG BDC FAQ seems to loop back to the main page of the optics forum.

Same with the C-More opinions thread? Any ideas where it went?

Darn the BDC thread is GONE and someone was just asking about that data in the General AR forum.

Anyway to resurect it?

I have asked and have been told that due to some rearanging of something, many old links are unavailable right now. I hope  to see them back soon!!!

You can always right click and select "Properties" to get the post number (last number in the URL) and do a search in the archive.  I was able to pull up the BDC Chart using that method.

E-95, either your link-fu is weak or I'm missing something because a good number of those links only take me to the forum, not the thread.
7/20/2005 7:25:45 PM EDT
[#17]
My link-fu is very strong grasshopper.  Remember, talk does not cook rice.  

On that list, there are only three links left that are still alive.  For the rest, you have to do a search via the Archive Server and use the topic number I have listed as your search criteria.  I've modified the list so that it's easier to see which links are still live and which you must perform an Archive Server search.

The EoTech FAQ does not come up under a search in the archives when searching by topic number.

Looks like the thread title is actually "EOTech Models explained!! Pics of EOTech Prototype Magnifier on pg4."  Use the link that fight4yourrights provided in his post.  It worked for me.

I asked that on page one... my take on the response: search for active and archived optics threads and pretend you found them in the tacked thread.

None of the links work, even when cut and pasted into archives.

I remember hearing that "Threads linked from TACKED threads will stay active and not go to archive." I suppose that's not the case, eh?

Since nothing has been done in months to fix this tacked thread why is it still here? Why don't the mods just delete this worthless thread?

Maybe bringing back a few of the tacked threads would be a good idea?
