I think you'll like that one!

Just going to be a stepping stone to use till I can get something REALLY nice.

 

[Fjordforder]

Take a wild guess as to what arrived today?

 

[SA Shooter]

A table?

 

[Fjordforder]

No you dingus, it`s the freshly (ish) mowed lawn! Duh!

 

[SA Shooter]

LMAO!!!

 

[SA Shooter]

So tell us about the new acquisition....

Mine performed flawlessly today. Totally busted that AR cherry!

 

[Fjordforder]

It`s a Vortex Crossfire II in 2-7x32 from OpticsPlanet. If you put it in your cart and wait a day you`ll usually get a coupon code to drop the price so for me it went from $130-$117 with free shipping. It`s sitting in a PEPR 30mm mount with adapters for the 1-inch tube until I can get the PEPR replaced with something like an Aero Ultralight. Wanting something lighter. PEPR`s rock solid though, only gripe is its weight.

 

[SA Shooter]

Very nice, man. I finally got some time with my Vortex Viper PST 1-4 x 24 today at the range and it worked very well. I'm glad I purchased it.

 

[Fjordforder]

This is babies first quality optic, I`m VERY happy with it. I just now decided to put the foregrip on the old upper since I`m not seeing any noticable decrease in stability without it, plus it just smoothes the gun out a bit.

 

[SA Shooter]

My bud across the street shared his foregrip/bipod with me the other day. I used it on the AR today and while it's nice, it bounces a bit too much for the serious work of zeroing in a rifle. I pulled it off and used sandbags to finish the work but I suspect it will go back on unless I add a nice angled foregrip from Ergo.

 

[Fjordforder]

Oh, a Grip-pod? I can`t stand them. IMHO and experience a foregrip is best mounted towards the magwell while a bipod is better off near the muzzle. Just my thoughts and experience.

 

[SA Shooter]

I agree with that approach. I've got space for a 3-5" picatinny rail section on the bottom of the Keymod hand guard. I'll try that along with an angled foregrip sucked in towards the magwell.

Old habits die hard. I was firing with my left hand cupped around the magazine to pull it into my shoulder. I know right where I want that foregrip!

Bi-pods are nice to have though and I may get something a bit different later on. First things first...get the angled foregrip, the rail section and a QD sling mount.
