  1. I’m really struggling to not drool.
  2. I get that! The Strike Eagle line to me seems to always be the budget line for Vortex. Not necessarily a bad think. Just a big jump in quality from the strike eagle to the Razor. I have no experience with the Athlon stuff. I do have a Riton 1-10x28 LPVO on one of my AR 10s and I have been blown away by it. Perhaps Riton stuff is good also. I don’t know what their program is for mid range scopes.
  3. Knoxville Tactical. They also have the 800rnd SAW cans. They have all kinds of surplus cans
  4. Between the Mark 4 and the Razor. In the Army, guys used the Leupolds forever. Back in the stone ages in 04-05, the Mark 18 program was getting going and you could bring your own stuff. Most guys had the Leupolds. Toward the end of my “stay” big army was getting stricter on what was used so information was standard and went to the Vortex Razor line and I believe they are still there for mid distance stuff. 600-1200 meters or so. Beyond that the Nightforce optics really shine. In my opinion anyway.
  5. This guy/gal does not respond. To post, pm’s or any commonly known ways to communicate.
  6. From what I KNOW, the main difference was the trigger. Basically if you like shooting yours, then you have a gen2. The gen 1 had close to a 11 lbs trigger pull. I really love these rifles. Obviously Sig does too!! They just want 4k for theirs! I bought it so my wife and girls wasn’t so intimidated when shooting an AR. I really like that wood!! Maybe at 6.5 Grendel and use it as a real deal hunting rifle that only weighs 6 lbs!
  7. My wife took a Woman’s beginner handgun class at a local range to me. In that class they use exclusively 22LR. A Glock 44, Browning Buckmark. Ruger etc. She really liked the Glock, as do most with sense, the following week we went and bought a new Glock 44 and that’s what she still carries 3 years later. I have tried several different times to get her to a 9mm. But she is just like her husband and is stubborn. We researched the 22lr “defensive” ammo and settled on the newer Federal Punch. Using an aftermarket 18 round magazine, I feel confident she will be ok. Or really puss someone off.
  8. IMO, it’s really hard to beat a Ruger American in 6.5 Creedmoor or a Savage 110 in same caliber. Ammo is somewhat economical. The rifles are not stupid expensive. That way after a few month you decide your just not into it, you don’t have 5 grand in your stuff. I would spend 6-800 on a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. Spend your money on a scope. Don’t over spend unnecessarily on a rifle. If your just starting, your just starting. The 6.5 Creedmoor round is good at distance 1000-1400 meters plus. Great game hunting round. Anywhere from a buck plus per round. Common round and easily found. Good luck with your new, tragically addictive hobby.
  9. Ok guys. Up for sale or trade is a cool different take on the AR platform. Basically a special lower receiver and BCG. Install an AR15 platform upper receiver and you’re good to go. The stock is a Remington 1100/870 style stock. Currently has a complete Aero upper receiver. Accepts normal AR magazines. Will come with 3-30rnd pmags. Has a Magpul fore grip installed. Magpul MBUS PRO iron sights. Monstrum 1-10x24 mm LPVO. It is less intimidating for new shooters IMO. Today it is up for sale or trade. New these things run 1300 plus stripped down. I think a fair starting point is 1000 with mags, sights, optic, and grip. I’m always willing to listen to offers. Trade interest are AR15/10 lowers stripped or complete. MOS version of the 9mm Glocks. Decent semi auto 12ga shotguns. Always interested in fair priced ammo as a trade option. 9mm,357Sig, 5.56/223, 308/7.62nato. East TN area. Knoxville to Chattanooga could work for meet.
  10. The ad says that it’s a 19MOS slide on a 45 frame. My assumption is they don’t use the same serial numbers for both models.
  11. I sure wish I had a drool emoji!!
  12. Ok fellers. This Stag is by far my favorite AR that I own. The way it’s set up to me is 100% reliable and perfect. This rifle is being sold exactly the way it’s pictured. The Lower and upper are Stag. And came together as a complete rifle when purchased. The parts that have been added is what makes this a great rifle and at 1200.00 a steal of a deal right now. Make sure you know the current legal environment when buying. Magpul Gen 1 qdxqd sling, K2+ grip, fore grip, MOE SL stock, extended mag release,MLOK rail covers, Trybe ambi charging handle, WOT FRT trigger, nickel Toolcraft M16 BCG w/ BCM Sopmod Extractor and spring kit, Heavy buffer weight from Giessle, Aimpoint ACO red dot, and Aimpoint x3 magnifier. Both are on Aimpoint mounts. I will include 2 used black Gen 2 pmags. If I had to guess the rifle has had 3-400 rounds down the pipe. Quickly. Very quickly. If you know about these triggers then you know what I’m talking about. Im always willing to do some trading but currently gathering funds for another suppressor. East Tennessee area. I live between Chattanooga and Knoxville. I work in Oak Ridge. Wide area to be able to meet. All trades considered with special attention to man sized MOS 9mm Glocks, Springfield Prodigy’s, BCM rifles, Daniel Defense rifles.
  13. Talk about top tier rifles. The OG STONER!! Beautiful.
  14. Was my first experience with either. I have lingered for a bit, waiting for ammo prices to get back reasonable. I will order some of the reman FMJ 9mm for plinking and training. Their ship time impressed me the most.
  15. Freedom Ammunition and LAX Ammunition are doing a sale on 223 right now. I bought just a thousand rounds shipped to my door in 5 days and cost just 407.82. That pretty close to the normal price of .30-.35/ round.
  16. I understand that!! I see a lot of things in the Nashville area I want often. I’ve made the trip a few times when buying something I couldn’t talk myself out of. Being an upper, it could be shipped.
  17. Yes sir. Has just a milspec CH and a Toolcraft BCG.
  18. I removed this a few months ago to turn home defense rifle to 300BO. Wanted to keep it as a spare and ended up with 4 other rifles. Wife is on to my game now. It may have 2-300 rounds through it. Pretty basic. Nothing flashy or high end just a really good upper. I ended up dusting a bit of OD green paint on it. Was thinking 300.00 was fair. If you disagree let me know. Always willing to trade around some. Knoxville/OakRidge area.
