Found a 2.5-10x32 for 1250ish, should I jump on it, and sell my Leupold 67925?

I sold my MR/T as well and went to a 3.5-15x50 F1. The MR/T has not aged well, and the things I most disliked about it did not outweigh the benefits: pro: correct lightweight quick turrets TMR reticle cons: fixed parallax moa turrets with mil reticle 1/2 moa adjustments common battery drain issues and illumination is weak mediocre optical quality debatable, but the magnification range for the size is just "okay" If you can, I'd just have both. They're going to get harder to get as time goes on, and worst case you have a true Mk12 build, and then one that's a little looser. The x32 NF is a great scope and I'd put it on an "inspired" build instead. |

Part of me really wants it but basically everything else is clone correct on my build. And I know finding a x24 will be almost impossible. |

Originally Posted By ringer706: Speaking of the Docter red dots... Have a batch of these which will be available this Saturday at noon for anyone that's interested. A very dedicated cloner on instagram did a run of these Nightforce top cap red dot mounts which were seen at times on Mk12s. They're very true to the originals which are impossible to find nowadays. The first batch is pattered specifically for the Noblex/Docter red dot sights, but any other red dot using the same mounting pattern should fit just fine. The actual footprint/base is sized for a flush side fit for the Docter sights though, so other red dots may slightly over/under hang the edge. The platform itself is 25mm (.985") x 46mm (1.81") for reference and has a slightly radiused front/rear. Bolts up directly with Nightforce 30mm ultralight rings, can't comment on fitment with any other rings however so y'all are on your own for that if you decide to try and use it on something else. Either way, really cool piece of impossible to find kit. Listing will be live shortly on my site, but won't go on sale until Saturday at noon. View Quote Bought one over the weekend. Thanks for getting these out to the community. If anyone has a Doctor red dot for sale, pm, I am a buyer. |

Are the NightForce Ultralight 1.375" A110 rings the correct height rings for use on a Mk12 Mod1? If they are not the correct height rings, what height NightForce rings would be the correct height? I bought a 30mm Top Cap Red Dot Mount (Nightforce/Docter) from ringer706 for future use and I thought I might as well pick up the correct NF rings.

Which upper receiver would you choose out of these 5 options that I have lying around for my mk12 mod 1? This build isn't intended to be 100% Clone Correct, but I would like it to be basically as close as it can be with what I have available and not chasing around expensive pieces unnecessarily for my end goal.
Colt 13629 Cage Code Square Forge w/ T-marks, M4 on face Square Forge Upper, no T-marks, M4 on face Keyhole Forge Upper, no T-marks, can't see face (currently on a build) Split A Forge Upper w/ T-marks, nothing on face KAC Keyhole Forge Upper, 'Mod 2' engraved on side |

Whatever has the closest dimensions to the TDP other than the inner diameter of the extension flange, tighter the better there.

Snapped a quick photo before packing them up for the move. First class surplus case is reserved for the late mod 0. The others travel in current production coach class. Life goals.

Does anyone here have a lead on a Pelican 1700 Mark 12 case? Like many other people, I attempted to purchase through Cobra foam inserts, with the same predictable / common result. I would even pay someone locally to cut the foam if a template or outline of a real one was available. Thank you in advance for your help, Godspeed

Still needs a few things to be correct but have enjoyed shooting it with the Leupold like the USASOC Sniper comp Mod 1's had. really helps to take advantage of that 18' Barrel! My friends do a lot of Coyote hunting and ive been thinking about throwing a thermal on it and seeing how the coyotes like Mk262 lol
