So, is anyone who bought in the last few days taking a severe loss in their Scary Black Rifle portfolio?

Crazy election night.

The only thing I purchased was $450 in high capacity magazines. Considering it a Trump campaign donation.

Had a lot of stuff in baskets online ready to buy and glad I didn't tonight.

Saved myself about $2k

This is why the thread was started months ago.

Panic buying is stupid.

Spending 2K over 6 months is far more reasonable

Would like to start the process of getting suppressors for .300 blk and 5.56 SBRs... any recommendations for good brands, what to look for, things to avoid?

Not me. We purchased wisely before the assumed price gouging post election. Moststuff we would use at some point.

Perhaps an exception on the lifetime supply of pmag's that I purchased! :-)

I wouldn't mind picking up a couple at a fair price. I am probably going to buy some in the near future and if someone over bought I could help them out.

If you are in BCS or visit, we can probably come so some agreement.

Yup love mine so far as well. This would be a good choice.

Check out the Griffin Armament Alpha as well. Shoots .22 up to .300 win mag. Best part is that it can be disassembled for cleaning.

Red dot/reflex sight options or suggestions.

Just a basic PSA Ar15. Will be used for plinking and range. Don't want to break the bank, but don't want the cheap Chinese stuff.

Also, light recommendations. For possible use as HD gun.

Hang on for EyeGuy's red dot group buy. Holosun is good stuff, probably not operator level but honestly how many of us really need that?? Aimpoint is, if that's what you're looking for.
Naveronski

But it's pretty much the least expensive of the quality optics.

Or you can buy chinese crap, if you want.

Holosun or Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot.

Neither. Truglo 20mm red dot. Better than either and solid as a rock.

Went with the Holosun from Primary Arms with the ACSS reticle.

What light would you recommend for use in HD?

Surefire, Insight, or the new Inforce WML gen2. I like my lights in the 200-300lumen range as I've found the higher lumen lights can wash out in certain situations.

Streamlight is another great brand to consider

Really like those carbines, but they're damn expensive.

You mentioned possible HD gun. This is the cheapest I would go with my life on the line. Having a sight crap out on the range or hunting is annoying, but life on the line is a whole different level IMO.

It's hella fun to shoot (and yes it costs an arm and a leg, plus your first born). It's so smooth, especially for a .308 carbine.

The M110 (suppressed) is as smooth as it gets, though.

Here's another fun one:

Looking for scope mount for my flat top. I do not want junk but I do not want to spend a too much either. I just want to drop one of my extra scopes on it to shoot hogs. I am going I pick up a red dot from eye guy but I would like the scope option. I would appreciate any help.

While I am on it any one know of a flip up rear sight that would work with the RR Operator flip up front sight?

Burris PEPR for scope mount


Any standard flip up should work if it's a standard height front post

The two I use the most:

Burris PEPR

Aero Cantilever

Both around the same price. Burris is beefier and the Aero is a LOT lighter.

Are any of the quick disconnect mounts worth a ***** I mean will they really hold zero if you pull it off and replace with a red dot and then put a scope back on?
CTGilley

I thought $90 was high but I guess that is just what I will have to spend.

I feel like the front sight is a little taller because it was set up for a detachable handle carry.
CharlieBrown17

I might be wrong but I would be shocked if the standard height front sight post wasn't based on using with a carry handle.
