  1. Ive been binging the channel pretty hard this week and you continually blow me away with your polish, reasoning, and objectivity, accuracy, and all while keeping it absolutely entertaining.

    And thankfully the more i learn from your channel, the happier ive become woth my set-up. Vortex 5x with offset rds. I dont have nods and likely never will (that didnt stop me from warching all your nvg content lol) and im pretty happy with a very solid lightweight do-all setup.

    Thanks again for the perfect content. You are helping many, and i cant wait for you to blow up and get compensated appropriately for what your doing. Ive learned more about marksmanship and capability more this week that the last decade of binge watching all the guntubers i can find.

  2. This is a fantastic presentation, but I am curious how well a magnified optic with a BDC would really serve someone in a large urban city with wind funnels between buildings blowing around lightweight rounds. Also, being too magnified and honed into a single threat may be a hindrance in a city with several places for potential enemies to hide, as your FOV gets cut down. What are your thoughts on training with binoculars? I hear a lot of people talking about using a scope to ID a target, but in a SHTF situation I don't know if I'd want to point my rifle at someone before I knew they were a threat. From my point of view, if I saw someone pointing a rifle at a nearby friend that was with me, I'm going to assume he's hostile immediately. If I had found him just looking at my friend through binoculars, I'd be less inclined to start a firefight, and just proceed with extreme caution.

  3. Your diagram is screwed up. The cost is inverted, why would you want to pay more? Iron sights are definitely the most durable, saying otherwise is ridiculous. Also, quality is not inherent to the design and could only be considered when a brand/model is chosen.

  4. I noticed you put the LPVO durability really low. is that really the case when compared against an acog+rmr? right now im between 2 setups with the LED acog + rmr vs an LPVO (Leupold). they both have the exact same weight. really hard to decide between the 2 but if durability is really that low on LPVOs, then that is concerning.

  5. Everyone should have a shorter “dot gun” and a mid to long “scope carbine” imo
    I don’t think it’s an argument of which one is better, but it should be which one do you need for a given cenario

  6. Incredibly informational video totally different look then most of the gun people because most of them are on a range shooting bright white steel targets

  7. About the range estimation issue, if you want to do beyond 400 you might want a scope, but please remember it have very flat trajectory. When sight in at 25 it back to same level at 375. The highest point of the trajectory just 11 inch beyony. You don't really need to know the range. if a man size target is at 400 his shoulder width would like half of your front sight post width.

  8. In the Marines, we used to shoot human sized targets at 500m with iron sights on the M16A2. While this sounded good on paper, it was totally unrealistic because the distance/location was known. Not to mention the target was stationary. Without magnification, we had no idea what we were shooting or if we even made a hit.
