An AR-15 was used in the shooting in Co yesterday. Will be really interesting to see what happens in regards to a AWB.

Not really a WTF, but worth a post somewhere. I'm headed out to Flying Cloud this weekend for the show...guess I won't get to see that Mig. https://www.startribune.com/local/west/162220295.html

I have heard nothing but good things about RRA which is why I went with them. I did look at the ones you mentioned and when (not if!) I get another AR, I am going to go more high end. Anyway, as far as optics goes I think having something is better than nothing. At least a 1x RDS/HWS of some sort. Like I stated, primary use is going to be home defense, SHTF, type stuff, I want to be set-up primarily for that...but I will probably never use it in that scenario. When I do pick up another AR down the road, then I can have one built for HD and another built for mid-range to long range shooting. For now I plan on taking it to the range and shooting with the irons and RDS 0-100 as much as possible. I think it would be fun however to shoot beyond that which is why I posed the original question, before I drop a lot of coin, I want to be informed. I should probably mention that my vision is shit, I don't know if that has any bearing on the answer. I am thinking right now I will probably just go with a RDS and work up from there. I can always sell it if I want to upgrade to something different (ACOG, 1-4, etc). Any further advice is appreciated.

Damn. Rough year for big blue. Knew the nav, very good dude, as I'm sure all those guys were. Godspeed fellas

What would you suggest?...for future reference

Dudes, Searching through 144 pages is rough...just need some quick well-thought out (ha!) advice. Getting into the AR world, ordered my first RRA Elite Comp last month. After days of exhaustive research, I am still at a loss as to what optics to put on. I did a bunch of research at AR15.com, but I thought I would post here to get some input. Wondering if I should go the EoTech and 3x Mag route or should I go with an ACOG that has a RMR piggybacked or even a RMR or Micro T1 mounted offset? Primary use will be for the apocalypse/home defense, but I am guessing that isn't going to happen anytime soon so I will be shooting a bit at the range. 0-100 will be fun with a RDS/HWS, but I would also like to be able to shoot a bit further using some type of scope. Thoughts? Thanks fellas.

So I was watching "Great Planes",the non-Max Moga version, and the episode was about the B-1. Anyway, they had a quick clip in there of a minute-man being loaded into the back of a C-5. Apparently there was a plan to launch that sucker out of the back of the Galaxy. While it never came to be, that is still pretty bad ass. Any old C-5 dudes have any experience/stories behind this?

Now you're just being hurtful. Not even the gays would accept Navs. We breed from within.

That pic of the three "dudes"....

Don't give her any ideas...

Has potential and applies on this forum...

I don't know really what to say on this one... https://moms.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/30/11955844-military-mom-proud-of-breast-feeding-in-uniform-despite-criticism?lite

Those guys are dorks but I am glad they are on our side.

Best tourney of the year!

From the Air Force fish wrap, there are a "small" number of dudes who no longer want to fly the Raptor. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/04/air-force-small-number-pilots-wary-of-flying-f-22-043012/

I would think that transferring out of 130s will be nearly impossible. Unless there is a need, the AF probably won't pay for you to go through another schoolhouse. You could probably transfer within the 130 community to Gunships or Talons (or any of the other Herc airframes), I am guessing that is a lot easier to do. Gunships and Talons are badass missions, just as good as B-1s or 15Es, just my opinion though. CH would probably have a better idea on this subject.

Kind of related? Saudis are rad to the max.

I did, I'm good for one or two quips a day. Feel free to use and insert any runway as you see fit.

Be a man, own up to your shit, and make amends. That's what they did. While it pisses me off that they did it, they admitted to it right away, which most people would not do. I'd have a dick as long as KMIB RWY 29 if I got an inch for every time I did something stupid...even some really bad ones. Best thing I ever did was when I admitted to them, made things a lot smoother. Hiding it like a little bitch makes it even worse.

I can go both ways on this (STS). There are pros and cons. The demo dudes were a lot more down to earth than the t-chicks and it was nice seeing something other than a Viper all the time. If these demo teams have to go, TIB should as well.

Lets play find the shoe!

One of my favs: "CGOs prepped for success after two, 2-hr sessions on bullet-writing led by Top 3" Anybody else notice the chick with the reflective belt on doing a little demo work? I think the end times are near my friends.
