Good day at RIFT The Ridge! Years since I was last there (in a 4x4) so it was interesting to see it from an airsoft perspective. The site is massive, but due to the extremely undulating nature of the ground and thick vegetation, I think 90% of all engagements throughout the day were at no more than 20m. At one point I was the opposite side of a small ridge line to the enemy taking potshots, but because of the bushes they just couldn’t find me 😂 Kit wise I had my TM recoil, decided to run my battle belt along with my chest rig. If it wasn’t for the fact that the belt kept undoing itself as I was crawling around I probably would have been tempted to just use that all day; it was only in the final 20 minute game that I actually used more than 3 magazines. So for now at least I think my shooter belt build will be shelved while I try to justify it! RIFT ran a tight ship and good game as always, there was the normal moaning but non-hit taking but as I only seemed to be getting shot by our own team I can’t comment on that! Not sure we’ll rush back in a hurry as the steep hills have completely knackered me, but it was a great one off for a bit of variation.

Loadout for RIFT The Ridge today! Ended up cutting down the kit I was carrying by the end of the first game but all worked out!

Got it 😂

@Skullchewer glad to hear they finally arrived!

I’ve got an Inforce WML on my Mk18 and mount it on the left hand; 9 o’clock rail. Never had an issue with shadows being cast but then the light head only sits about an inch short of the flash hider.

I think it’s a good idea and could be of use to those trying to build specific kits. However, as mentioned be prepared to be told that you’re wrong by the loadout and experts.

I know the site are active-ish on here, possibly they might welcome the feedback?

@Albiscuitthats a shame, it was my regular site for a few years when it was run by RIFT and we always had a good time there. I have attended once since it changed hands and didn’t experience what you have, other than it being a bit slow to get going on the day (but the weather was awful).

If they’re cheap enough, I’d be tempted to buy an A&K one and see if it works?

Just to update, I’ll be at RIFT ‘The Ridge’ on the 15th!
