Can never tell if this 14.5 is a mini or normal recce. It feels a bit short for the latter, but long for a mini. It's on the island of misfit recce rifles.

Getting closer... (12” 6mm ARC 1/7 twist should get me to 900 yards or so...)
Think a TA11 or the NXS 2.5-10x will be perfect on this.

Ta11 and 2.5-10 are two completely different scopes haha. 2.5-10 for 900 yards for sure

Molon the NXS looks great on that rifle.

Emtothedee, you're right. the TA11 and 2.5-10x 24 are very different scopes (I've got the Eotech to play with too). I'm new to short barrels having just fled to free America. I just started shooting the 6 ARC 108 ELDM's in an 18" AR and love the increase in energy and distance with no loss of barrel life or discernible recoil increase. This caliber is really making me rethink my AR's. It will be hard to pull the NXS x24 off the NSW Block II but this little project may be too fun to pass up.

Big thanks to everyone on the thread for the ideas and inspiration!

That turned out wicked sweet man!

Question for the group, what barrel pairs best with a URX II? Going back and forth on 5.56 or 300 Blackout. I don’t have a 300 Blk AR yet just a bolt action Ruger.

Kind of a tough question. I have about 20 minutes in the garage with the Razor after getting it mounted. I will say that the eye box on 1x and 8x is slightly better on the S&B and I think 10x on the Razor is going to take a little getting used to. Is the glass better on the S&B? Yes. Is it $2000 better? Maybe not. The dual cc is cool, but since I hold over and don’t dial, having the dot in the SFP isn’t all that useful. The dual cc illumination is good, but the Razor is brighter. I like a fine reticle- especially the center dot, so slight edge to the S&B. But you also don’t have any really visible reticle on 1x if your battery dies either. At least the Razor has the T that you could use in a pinch.

The locking turrets on the dual cc are nice, but again, if you hold over they’re not a real advantage over capped ones. And no off positions on illumination on the S&B. And the throw lever for the Schmidt costs like $100.

Let’s be honest, the S&B wins in some categories, but overall there’s really no way I would say it “wins.” I mean, really, for less than half the cost of the Schmidt, you really get everything you need in a nice durable package. Would I sell my 1-8x to buy another Razor? No. But only because I would lose too much money.

Just imo but the mini really shines with lower top end magnification (1-4/6) and the smaller, lighter form factor which accompanies it. I use mine as a cqb rifle that can still make highly accurate, occasional hits out in that 250-400 range.

Obviously the top end power and 32x lens will make for quick work if you really wanna stretch it, but in that case, I'm just reaching for a 14.5 or something that'll give the bullet some juice at those extended ranges.

The URX4 is my favorite handguard but it’s the worst possible choice with a pinned muzzle device.

I’m aware of which piece is the problem. It’s my second URX 4. I was more frustrated that I had spent the money on the parts because I had seen it done before only to find out it may not be offered anymore. But I’m all squared away now. I get that shims can be unsightly, but I don’t understand all the fuss over them. I do understand how it isn’t worth the negative press to keep doing it if people are going to complain.

No pics cuz I forgot...

I probably dropped about 500 rounds at the range today.

The more I run this nx8 with a 1.93 the more in love with it I get.

Fitment is tight, I'm not sure if this is actually free floating with barrel whip given the Geissele Mk-Bendy's minimal diameter
