    That is a sweet gun!!

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm not wanting to be a hater at all here, I would just like to see your target at 75ft. :) Yes yes yes, most shoot confrontations happen at 21ft. or less. But you said you're not going to carry it. My ignorance in competition shooting isn't letting me know how far they shoot from. That's definitely a good shot group though. Good fundamentals! Sorry, this is just the weapons instructor coming out in me lol. Def a good pick up! Especially for how good of a price you got it for. I bet that recoil bit definitely helps!

  10. Creeper called out

    Just to stir the pot but the cops should have been asked to talk to this guy and see what he was up, its pretty obvious that he was up to no good but had this incident escalated any further and had the creeper obtained his CCW I believe that he would have probably been justified in the eyes of the law for shooting the angry father. Just to be clear I don't condone what the creeper was doing but I think this father is closer to getting himself in trouble than getting this old guy taken care of.

     

    Nope. Def would not have been a legal shoot. Can't shoot someone cause they yell at you. Lol.

    Is there a question in there somewhere? I'm almost thinking we are saying the same thing, with exception that I disagree with the CCO being in a forward position. I say that by what works for me and what I have trained soldiers with and seen the differance. This is why I suggested it and that he try both ways to see what works for him.

     

    I assume you are referancing to this piece of information from FM 3-22.9(referance figure 2-25 and 2-26):

     

    The M68, close-combat optic (CCO) is a reflex (nontelescopic) sight (Figure 2-23). It uses a red dot aiming point and is designed for the "two-eyes-open" method of sighting. The M68 can be shot with one eye open as well. The dot follows the horizontal and vertical movement of the gunner's eye while remaining fixed on the target. A one-time retightening of the torque-limiting knob is recommended after the first three rounds are fired to fully seat the M68. No centering or focusing is required beyond 50 meters.

     

    In the pictures it is shown forward most to allow for other optics to be used with it, such as the AN/PVS-14.

    I have not been able to justify having it forward, without the use of needing room to mount additional gear. I'm not a fan of lolly popping the rear iron with the red dot, but I like the closeness of setting them near vs farther from each other.

     

    Nope, no question! Yeah I think we're on the same page with the exception of the placement. And in all reality like you said, it comes down to what you've been trained or continue to train to do. I'll have to play around with putting it closer to the BIS.

    With my aimpoint I'm a both eyes open guy all the way but with irons you have to use only one eye.

     

    That's because the M68 Aimpoint is a combat optic DESIGNED to be shot with both eyes open. If it were a SCOPE, then yeah, shoot it with one eye. And move it closer to the rear sight. But because it's a SIGHT, and designed to be shot with both eyes open, the (arguably) *correct* placement is flush with the rail on the upper (on a stock upper of course).

     

    - the know nothing guy who's a certified instructor by the military to teach this shit to the military

     

    :) My two pennies. I do see the advantage with a magnifier to move the whole unit more towards the rear sight. Aimpoint alone, flush with the end of the rail on a stock upper, which is about where he has his.
