Mini 12/Nsw needs matching paint.
300 will eventually get it's own suppressor.



Eta: Because I spray paint everything like an asshole.

So I've moved the Kahles over to my SR15. I want a little more mag for the mini .300 so what's the opinion on a ATACR or the new Vortex 1-10? ATACR would be more aesthetics and match the all black but I've heard the new Vortex is awesome.

It's getting there, slowly. Finally found a barrel and I just need to get with Ron on a collar. On the hunt for a Badger C1 mount and will probably pick up a Razor on Black Friday. Can't decide if I'm going to stick with the PRS or just run a SOPMOD.

The new vortex is pretty great. Eye box on 10x is a little tight, but better than the nx8. Glass quality is good, easy to get behind on 1x, good illumination. It’s a good buy.

I'd agree.  At 10x it is a lot more forgiving than the nx8 at 8x.  I checked it out at 10x standing and was very impressed.

Still not selling my nx8.  I also think the credo is a better buy than the razor III.

Not sure if I ever posted in here after the SBR came back through, but here is my butchered "MK18 CQBR" that's simply a MINI RECCE now. Wasn't sure how I would like the 1-4 LPVO over a red dot on a shorty "do it all" carbine but I fucking love it.

I'm still debating turning this back to a red dot setup and building a dedicated 11.5" upper with a URX2 and a Criterion CORE barrel. Some of the builds in here aren't making this any easier.

Also debating on swapping my Mk12 down to a MINI RECCE and pin and welding a Rugged mount for my can since I have yet to just pull the trigger on an AEM5. I rarely shoot the 18" anymore.

I know the real answer is to just build them all haha.

What’s the barrel length on the mini H? I’m currently working on piecing one together.

Finally upgraded my NXS 1- 4. Wow! I love this scope so far. Hopefully I can get it leveled and zeroed this weekend. I really like the reticle and translucent center dot/ring. I was worried about the size and weight but I honestly don’t notice a difference from the nxs in unimount. The 1.7” mount will take some practice to get used to but I like it so far.

If you don't shoot the Mk12 then I'd get rid of it, but you don't hear many saying that.  Usually that's the gun people bring out every trip.  AEM5 would probably sway you to keep it.

Some thoughts on the ATACR...

Clarity is great- what you would expect from this caliber of scope. The question always is- does the added cost give you measurable gains in the glass department. Tough question to answer and it’s an individual decision. Do you get glass quality that’s worth $2800? I would say yes.

Even though it’s a tank and it’s a 34mm tube- it’s really noticeable to me that it’s only 10” as opposed to the more common 12” range of other LPVOs. I know that may not seem like it matters, but the slightly shorter length coupled with the low profile turrets and the PTL that doesn’t stick out 3” makes for a nice tidy little package. Relatively.

The reticle is pretty dang nice. The center dot is twice the size as the dot on the S&B- which had me worried. But it wasn’t an issue. It’s adequate for getting a precise zero at 100. Having the segmented circle and the dot illuminate helps with having a nice sized dot at 1x. It’s not so tiny that it takes that extra split second to pick it up. It has enough stadia and dots to give you what you need in 1/2 mil increments. The stadia are nice and thin. My holds at 500 yards are like 3 mils so it was easy to use and still see the target.

Eyebox is a little tight at 8x. Tight enough compared to the S&B that I noticed it. Workable but noticeable.

Magnification adjustment is smooth but stiff. Even with the PTL.

@Maack Nice write up. I definitely hate NX8s...lol....Kidding. I only disagree on the point of the ATACR aspect. I don't think the nearly "double the cost " is justified by a couple of mm tube diameter or the reticle. The NX8 actually has a brighter red dot in full sun then the ATACR from my previous side by side testing. I do believe that the NX8 1-8 is hands down the best LPVO on the market. It is edged out by the razor ONLY IN the eyebox at full power by a hair which is negligible compared to weight and other features that the NX8 wins.

You’re right- a bigger tube and a better reticle alone wouldn’t justify the cost. But the big jump in glass quality does- for me at least. And yes, the illumination on the nx8 is brighter, but that doesn’t mean the illumination on the ATACR is not adequate.

Pros and cons!
