whichever one you will carry and are proficient with

If the canik is cut for the RMSc it is my understanding they are they same footprint without the two locating bosses which don’t seem to be on the canik

yep if you can get under $0.18/rd all said and done I would buy a couple extra boxes everytime you go to the range and build up some spares. Doesn't look like prices are going to be this low for a while.

The holosun 407/507K has the same footprint as the shield and will be hitting the market in the next month or so with a street price around 220/300 respectively. Not sure how sold you are on the viper, but seems like that could be a decent alternative

No kidding, there's no telling how long it would take me to hit a ballon at 1000yds with a precision rifle and decent glass. Let alone a revolver with a red dot.

I'm a big fan of the aero R-one rail system. They make one in 9" so would be good with your 10.5" barrel. This is the exact setup I have on my 10.5 5.56 gun.

I'm almost afraid to ask, where does one get such an item?

Looked into the Swamp Fox Tomahawk line? https://swampfoxoptics.com/tomahawk-series They are pretty well regarded on the AR15.com message boards as the owner is very active over there.

Royal Range has a "shooting league" a couple times a month that has stages with movement. Never been but I have heard its a good time/crowd.

have you looked at the primary arms 1-6 options? https://www.primaryarms.com/pa-1-6x24mm-ffp-illuminated-rifle-scope-with-acss-raptor-762-reticle-black

I would suggest trying to find a used holosun 407C, likely find one for around $130 and it's a proven platform.

CCI Quiets will fire no problem, I believe they will even cycle the action. I know I have run through a couple boxes with mine no issue. I think Pro-Mag mags a 25 round magazine, but I haven't had very good luck with mine feeding very reliably. The only thing I have replace on mine is the extractor since the stock one decided to explode out of the bolt while shooting one day. My dad has that same one you have and he keeps it out on the porch for squirrel duty and it has been fine with literally zero maintenance

Agreed, I have never really understood the hoarding of gold and silver for barter in that kind of situation. It will take years and years for society to become stable enough to begin trading basic needs and services for luxury items like gold/silver. I would be more concerned with making it through the first phase of collapse/stabilization, I figure if I can make it that far I likely have enough skills/supplies to be on the better end when it comes time to start building my throne out of precious metals.

Unless someone gives you theirs first.

Perhaps, ended up waiting for the holosun 507k to come out before moving ahead. When they come out will be going with maple leaf firearms.

I have contacted them about doing this and this is something they offer. I forget what they quoted me.

I am 100% pressure pad, I keep my pads in a cloud LCS mount which takes up a lot of the wires. tail switches are fine, I have just found them harder to operate on/off

I think this would be good alternative to the glock mag AR platforms out there just from a cost/reliability standpoint. I also like the idea of getting one of the side folding pic braces to thrown on this thing. Would make a fun little package and a good "truck gun" type weapon especially for folks who carry a glock and have a couple of mags already.

What else you got in that crystal ball of yours sir?

Agreed my rugged surge on my 10.5" 556 is still plenty loud. I wouldn't want to fire it indoors unless I have to, but it is quieter than an unsurpressed 16" gun.

I thought this myth had been dispelled by experts who researched the cellular structure of the disease and proved it had evolved "naturally". Not sure where I heard that or of course whether or not it's true, just another factoid.

Looks good. I haven't seen any specs on the SMSc, what's the difference with that and the RMSc? Hood looks a little different.

I don't think you're going to find many opinions of the PRO being a bad choice. People will say there are cheaper alternatives and you get more "bang for your buck" with other options, but nobody will doubt that the PRO is one of the most reliable red dot options available.

A g19 "clone" for $349 with suppressor sights, threaded barrel, and optic cuts would be a pretty tough option to dismiss. I will wait and see what kind of reliability these things have but I know their ARs and AKs have been doing well out in the world.

that means you might get it by Christmas.
