Modacity shooters' thread

That is the most overpriced piece of optical hardware I've ever seen. I'll bet it uses an electrically actuated expanding polymer lens to achieve that effect. Saw the tech used on "adjustable" glasses meant to replace the sets of reading and everyday glasses. If it's not that, then it's merely another lens being thrown into position. Ugh.

I like the ACOg more, plus it was designed entirely around the AR-15

I like cheap stuff so I would stay with the original iron sights. Not cool I know, but cost effective.

There's something so satisfying about nailing that X at 100 yards with bare iron sights though. You feel somewhat badass

[paladin]

Iron sights are fun and all, and 1" isnt bad depending on your ammo, but if you dont have this
youre not shooting your ar15 right. 10 rounds @350yds <1"

350 yrds is pushing a .223 tho even with the best ammunition. Im in the process of getting a lar8 .308

Nailing targets at 400 yards with irons has one of the most awesome feelings ever. Especially when you had to aim off-centre to accomplish the feat.

The LAR-8 is a pretty sexy looking gun.

[paladin]

its damn sexy

Just to point out, actual military and LE get Elcan products SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than retail. I've heard $500 for people that can provide proof of membership, obviously official military supply channels run even cheaper than that.

The Specter DR is replacing the ACOG in a lot of military units that are given the freedom to change optics readily. I know lots of Canadian Forces personal are picking them up personally at the $500 point before going to the sandbox and then selling them for cheaper then that to new deployments if they come back in working order. I've seen a ton of photos of U.S.A forces rocking the Specter DR on AR's to miniguns.

I bet the actual armed forces pay full price and they are just giving soldiers a discount to be nice.
