  • I often train with a new gun too often. And while that’s great for being familiar with multiple platforms it sometimes comes as a curse as well. So today we discuss picking one platform and training with it.

      As in racing, however, at the peak of performance, tiny differences start to feel magnified and personal preference starts to take an outsized role. I guess where I'm going with this is that while both are fantastic, the differences will make a difference to the role and to the shooter's preference.

    Honestly I'm in the same boat as you. I love firearms so much that it makes it impossibly hard to choose what type of build I like best. Then again, I'm a broke guy with a PSA AR and a Vortex Strike eagle LPVO 1-6. I tend to run a minimalist setup as far as rail additions to keep the weight down. I have no issues regarding accuracy out to 500 yards. (When I'm on point) I tend to lean a little more to the light weight setups. Mainly due to the fact that my left arm has screws and a plate in it.😂 Makes it a lil tough to shoulder the chunkier boi's.

    Different rifles for different roles man. If you were doing work from vehicles in a wide open area like the PNW or great plains, the heavier rifle with more capability mounted on it is a great option. But if you're humping it through the Appalachians, having a sub 8lb rifle means you can carry more ammo/suatainment. Plus with the lighter rifle, you can put more capability on it and end up with a lighter weapon overall. It's all give and take, but I honestly think that the lighter setup gives you a more general purpose carbine over the heavier setup.

    @thecowboyfromcali 4 месяца назад +1

    Eye relief and practical application are huge when designing a build. If you are using a rifle like these, you need to set aside the design until you really think about what you'd be using it for. Then build in the comfort and accessories after. With longer range in mind, I'd always recommend accuracy and recoil reduction over anything. If this is a hill rifle that you'll be luggin around a lot, build it lighter. But in the case of strictly LVPO vs ACOG, I'd always prefer variable zoom with better eye relief and sight picture, at the cost of extra weight

I don't mind having to duck my head down and nose to charging handle since when I shoot long Im usually prone or crouched and want to get nice and low to the gun anyways to expose myself less when training.

    I think you did answer your question when you asked the question what do viewers think. One can claim this one rifle is the best rifle. But two of the biggest things come into play when choosing or building a firearm. 1. (Most important) “Mission”. What are you doing, where are you going, how long are you going for, what are other considerations that may effect your mission (METT-TC but for civs).
    2. The second most important and final thing is Shooters Preference. What is comfortable to you, how do you like your build. What are things you are willing to comprise.
    When building a weapon you build it to yourself. But you build it for a specific mission in mind. Whether it be shooting yotees, Point a to b missions, home defense, hunting, Recon, and the list goes on. You are building your weapon based on a role your want to fufill. As an outsider looking in, I can make recommendations. But that doesn’t mean that it would work for you.

    There's something to be said about a super light rifle. The reality is that if you were in the suck, light is king. You also want simple ease of use, and the acog is great for that.
    But then there's always the SPR setup, and I have one of those, too. It's important to know what your intended application is, and there's nothing wrong with having stuff like that.

    I'm not able to shell out the dough for multiple kitted out rifles, so I opted for a 13.7 GPR with 1-6x LPVO and a light. I see the merits of the ACOG on paper, but $1000+ is too much when there are so many other great optics on the market that provide better value.

      The latest revision of Primary Arms prism optics are freaking fantastic. They are ACOG killers for a number of reasons. Priced well below 1/2 a ACOG with much better eye relief, better field of view, lighter, no fiber optic bs for lighting of the reticle, many mount configurations included, glass clarity is 98 percent as good, and much lighter weight!!

      Home defense AR’s in 16” should ALWAYS BE .300BLK/AAC because it maximizes the cartridges full potential without being 18-20” s….It’s also a .30 caliber projectile with the same number of rounds as .556 with more led per shot and also easier to suppress and can run 200+Gr subsonic’s thumpers or 110gr supers and everything in between with a mag change and it’s much more powerful than .556 in the same configurations with the same AR controls, magazines and is also quieter with less flash as well! For home defense in 16” it’s .300BLK-hits like a train! Makes .556 16” for home defense an afterthought! Once you go black you don’t go back 😉👍

    I have a similar issue. On one side I have a clone correct Mark 12 Mod 1. On the other I have a Larue PredatAR with a Mark IV 4.5-14 scope. Both can reach out and touch someone out to 600+yards. The decision of which to take is one of mobility vs firepower ala Nutnfancy. If in a static position the Mark12 is the Bomb- if I had to hump a rifle- the Larue gets the nod.

  • @buff34x
    @buff34x Год назад +2

    In general, the lighter rifle tends to be the one more carried. The ACOG is probably my favorite general purpose optic because of that, especially when paired with its wide field of view. I find it hard to clarify to people through words just how much of a difference it makes when you're shooting multiple pop ups at range or even just watching multiple windows in MOUT. That being said, I love my SPR builds and recommend to get one if you are looking to increase your overall rifle skills. Even if you only have a 100 yard range available. If you have higher magnification on a 1 moa rifle, and you're not shooting 1 moa you know the problem is you. Which is great for shooters looking to improve as it eliminates/reduces as many variables as possible. For more casual shooters there is no deflection available, which I find many people blame their 3-4 inch group at 100 yards out of 1.5-2 moa rifles on the gear to protect their ego.

  • @justinmoore4088

    @Micah Mayfield During your intro I pictured you just shooting into berms..😂 Both rifles are equal...IMO it comes down to the knucklehead pulling the trigger. I imagine you put more rounds through these two rifles for this video than most do in a year. I think just from that point of view the BCM is the winner. Hell a 10.5 PSA is good for those peeps. If they actually train and shoot, then the other rifle is the winner. If they actually train with the rifle, the weight isn't gonna be an issue.
    On another note..I really enjoy your channel... keep'n it fun and not portraying yourself as a SOF, CQB assassin is a breath of fresh air.

Record the shot from the the camera itself right into the lens !! then replay a SLO MO playback of the shot, to watch the incoming projectile. if you can do that.... sweet. well..... if you have a spare one 😂 😂 that could be a FUN trick shot.

    Figure out something, admire the projectile trajectory in SLO MO, approaching and hitting the target bullseye .👀👀👌👌🎯🎯 !!!

    The area you live in makes such a difference between the purpose of the builds. Personally, i have found that in my relative area, that being Appalachia, I have little need for an LPVO with more than 6x, and truthfully 1-4x will do just fine. In my opinion, this area does not have the sightlines to justify that size of optic. Dense woods filled with vegetation for a majority of the year makes it hard to stretch the legs of those optics unless you have a 400+ yard range that's maintained and not overgrown. Im also talking about practical everyday applications here, not just SHTF. Rarely does a hunter here take a shot longer than 75 yards on a game animal due to quick elevation change and lack of sight. Hill top to hilltop is often the longest distance you have, and you cant see below the canopy of the trees to get a good identification. I fall into the camp of a red dot with a magnifier. I have some magnification for PID, and im comfy taking shots at my range that are ~225, and a 3x magnifier is more than serviceable out to 400, if you have the muzzle velocity and the shooter does their part. I also like having the flexibility of quick detach on the magnifier.

    If I had it to do over, I'd have built one 5.56 rifle in 14.5 Midlength running a US Optics TS-12 (18 oz 3-12x scope) and a top mounted dot.
    The only con to that rig is a lack of illuminated reticle in the scope.
    Having the ability to crank up beyond 8x magnification in such a lightweight optic makes it worth it, imo. Especially with the true 1x dot over it. I'd probably opt for a Streamlight ProTac, and not much else.
