In case you don't like to listen to good quality Christmas music, this YT has a muffled, barely recognizable, mix that just might make your skin crawl with how out of time it is (being posted here in August). Hope you hate it.

I'm going to "subscribe" to this. It could help put our 4-year old to sleep at night. That, or make him hate Christmas.

Hopefully the latter.

The sheriff deputies are on day 2 of a manhunt that is going on in our neighborhood. It started at 6am yesterday morning and has continued on through today. We don't live in a terribly large neighborhood, but most of the lots are a few acres and mostly wooded. The US Marshals were out here looking for the guy as well. Yesterday afternoon one of the sheriff's deputies camped out in our kitchen for a few hours because the K9 unit tracked the man into our backyard. They also had a few cellphone pings locating him to the area. As it turns out, the deputy and I had a few common acquaintances so it made for a nice conversation.

Helicopters and drones have been circling around, and throughout the night they were trying to locate him using IR. Deputies are staged at all the surrounding roads as well as along the creek that runs behind the neighborhood.

All of this for a guy that has 2 arrest warrants and committed burglary at his ex-girlfriend's house down the street yesterday morning.

Maybe I'll get to put my new AR scope to use if he strolls through the backyard.

I think you should equip a lightweight suppressor attachment and set a few claymores in the backyard.

Zero it for 30 yards but cowitnessed lower third with iron sights for 10.

Should you go the claymore route, be sure to notify your local law enforcement so they don't let the k9 run onto the property. You don't want to hurt any of the law enforcement officers.

Otherwise, a suppressor and iron sights should be good enough to take the fool down. Just remember to tell halt after the second shot just like the military guards in an exclusion zone.

It's not halt, bang, bang; it's bang, bang, halt!

It's a 1-6x Vortex strike eagle. 50yd zero (per the instructions for 5.56 BDC reticle to be accurate). 45deg flip up irons as well.

Could use the 300 blk on him. Quieter than a 22lr!

I don't want to get anyone in trouble, however, it was mentioned to me if we see him hold him at gunpoint. So I will oblige.

Did you try putting food out on the back porch with his litter box? Sometimes warranted felons get confused by their surroundings and get caught in a neighbor's yard and don't know how to find home.

Do you like the Vortex? I struggle with my red dot optic because of a mild astigmatism. Do you use quick release rings with it?

I really like it. I just purchased a second one last night for another rifle. It also comes with a spare battery stored in the windage cap. The reticle has holdover and windage marks and a range estimator. I have it mounted on the Burris AR-PEPR QD. They have a model that is not QD, but I figured why the heck not get QD. The PEPR also came with picatinny and smooth ring tops when I thought I was only getting picatinny, so that's a plus. I've seen people mount something like a Burris FastFire 3 on top, but I don't have a particular need for that yet. The eye-relief was surprisingly good. I don't have astigmatism, just myopia, so I don't know how it will look for you. The reticle works for me with contacts/glasses.

I'll be building another 300blk sometime this weekend and I ordered the Holosun HS5510C. It was between that and the Eotech EXPS-3, but the plan was to make this a dedicated house rifle and the Holosun has shake awake which was the deciding factor. With the money I saved going with the Holosun I got the 3-prong Surefire WarComp for my 5.56.

We need a private gun thread.

I have a Romeo 5 on mine with shake awake, and it's nice to have. Overall a pretty decent optic (seems well made, good clicks/responsive adjustments), and I haven't tested it outdoors, but indoors with low light I have to turn the brightness way down or it looks like Haley's Comet. I'd like to put a scope on top and mount the Romeo at 45 degrees.

I have the Romeo MSR on one and it does well. However, it's not as crisp as I want and it's definitely more than 2MOA at full brightness. Out in the sun at full brightness it's almost around 4MOA which isn't very good for anything at 100yd+. Using a magnifier with it just makes it worse. But for indoors the lower brightness settings work well. I should've gone with the Romeo 5 since the MSR doesn't have shake awake.

Jimmy John's and mom's spaghetti

I just wish there were more green dot options because of the astigmatism, and the holographic options are way past my price point. I need to try and find a pair of polarized safety glasses and see how much of a difference it makes.

The Holosun HE403B-GR is green with shake awake. On Midway for $164.

Thanks, may have to give that a shot!

You should look at the Eotech HHS, they have a green dot option. Mine's red, and the flip up magnification is nice.

It's a nice piece, but it's also about 5X what I want to spend on a "fun gun" optic.

I love my Vortex.

I sprung for a Trijicon ACOG for my AR-10. Anybody ever used one? Steep learning curve leaving both eyes open (which is absolutely necessary to keep the reticle in focus), but that thing is badass when you get used to it.
