Dark Lord Of Optics

Now that I made it home for a couple of days, I fished two mounts out of the mail that I plan to test. Here are first impressions. The mounts discussed were: Sig Alpha2: https://alnk.to/7BeynX3 Daniel Defense: https://alnk.to/44VoLF4 The scopes shown were: Leupold Mark4HD 2.5-10x42 FFP with illuminated TMR https://alnk.to/ge5GrY6 Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 SFP with Nova reticle. This scope is not up for sale yet, but soon. It is essentially a SFP version of this one: https://alnk.to/a43a7qG For the time being, if I were to pick a simple robust one piece mount in the $200 and under range, it would still be Badger Unimount. Allegedly, it has been discontinued, but there is still some stock https://alnk.to/dAmjJLY

Since yesterday Rumble Studio crapped out on me yesterday, I ended up doing a livestream on Middle East strictly on my Locals page. When I checked today, Rumble Studio looks to be working now. I figured I should do a test run and see if everything works. If noone chimes in, I'll just talk to myself for a few minutes and log off.

This is my last evening in Florida before heading home tomorrow. While here, I took a defensive carbine class from Gary Juhl on Sunday, so I figured I should do a recap from that and take some questions if there are any. I could use a break from work anyway. Last few days have been hectic and my brain is fried. I could use a diversion. This will go live to Locals, Rumble and X. No Youtube this time since I want to be able to show the setup that I used.

My voice is finally back, so let's do a final wrap-up for what I ran into during SHOT last month. Naturally, I'll address your questions as I go along.

Here is the summary from days 1 and 2.

Here are some impressions from the range day that happens eveyr year the day before SHTO exhibit kicks off.
