Or use that pistol decoration everyone has strapped to their hip. After running it as primary I would take my pistol over my evo for CQB any day. Not sure how I feel about canted sights in airsoft as the hopup is all wrong but maybe that's fine at close distance 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Vortex PST on my real Remington 700 .308, for the money you can't beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skara Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Ran a similar setup with a fixed 4x and a small dot on top for quite some time. It does work but it's rather heavy, or at least, mine was. It adds some height to your rifle, but nothing major.. Stopped using it because my field has rather short engagement distances due to bushes and undergrowth everywhere, but it's a really good option for a "universal" gun.

Just the 1.25x. Is that going to be an issue at close range? I thought you really need 1x for using them as red dot replacements? Or is the extra .25 not noticeable? Seems odd they would stop doing 1x ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumpyedge Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Barely even noticeable to be honest. I don't recall it ever being just 1x just knew it was between 1-5 or there about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure they ever did 1x version from my shopping around think people just called it 1x for simplicity. I'm ready to pull the trigger just a bit worries about getting stung for an extra £20 quid on royal mail/vat fees as they all seem to come from china.

I use the long, 1" open one above specifically on the G36 because its iron sights are low enough to peep through it - yours aren't. Yeah it's a bit high, but once I put my face mask on it's not too bad. I might get a smaller one later. Edit: oh wow, more replies than I expected. I tried the red dot on top but it was just too high up. The 45 degree turn feels better, and I think it's accurate for the ranges I'll be using it at. I went with that in case I needed to switch to a 1x optic quickly while my main one was zoomed in, but also this 1-4 isn't truly 1x at its lowest. I'll probably keep the riser unmodified for now and just see how it goes when I play in couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitmanNo2 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 These are pretty low profile. Kind of looks like you're wearing a nappy though. I see the Chinese still aren't taking into account basic Human physiology and not accounting for a nose recess in the mesh though. https://www.weapon762.com/mask/2017-tmc-lightweight-assault-balaclava.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go way off topic here, but imagine if you told her she could only spend 3 hours a month doing what she enjoyed!? Nope!

clumpyedge Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I hope 3 hours doesn't include the time it takes to get through the safety brief as in some instances I think you'd get 15 minutes play out of that time frame 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
