  1. Don't know if I should laugh or cry. Guess I'll just sigh happily that you kids have something better than simple iron sights. Now, go play on the highway and watch your ammo levels.

  2. Tbh, has nothing to do with being a keyboard warrior, but everything to do with firearms fundamentals and safety!!! Never point a gun at something you're not willing to destroy or kill. Always treat a gun as if it's loaded!!! Your ignorance and stupidity is clear!!!

  3. My first instinct is that I would probably save up for a few more months or even a year for something more sophisticated. If it was closer to $650-750 I would be more tempted, but at $1600 I’m just going to keep saving and go for something a little more high end.

  4. Made in America does not mean it's made well.
    I was surprised that my EXPS3 metal hood doesn't line up with the buttons and the flip to side mount on my g33 isn't parallel to the pic rail.

  5. Be advised, when you’re tracking the car with Steve and Josh, you’re pointing a loaded rifle at your buddies.
    Folks, this is one of the inherent downfalls of mounting such a force multiplier on a weapon system, the tendency to use it for casual observation is very high. This is why the US government mounts NVGs to the helmet, not the rifle for GIs,even though such a capability is cheaper and more easily adapted to.
    Consider this when mounting this style of optic, that you might ALSO want to invest in a handheld monocular for spotting and casual observation.

  6. Holosun hasn’t let me down so far. I remember being dogged on for it being a Chinese optic, but they’ve proven themselves to be innovators, and more than durable enough for most people.

  7. Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a old fart. Almost 40 yrs ago I shot a M-16 with a Gen 1 Starlight scope that was humongous, weighed as much as the rifle, and supposedly cost $20,000.
    Seeing stuff like this frankly blows me away …..
