So, what you're saying is ....just to be safe, buy lots of rifles and mount different scopes on each one. That's what I'm telling my wife, anyway! Love your content, love your positivity, stay safe.
-
Perhaps the best optics is the one we made along the way
-
A lot of people might say "but you've already come out with a video like this already;" it's good to have refreshers, though.
-
thank you for putting this out 5 minutes after I bought my first AR-15 Edit for those wondering: it’s a Forged PSA Sabre
-
What it seems at this point… is doesn’t really matter what you have because we live in the golden age of optics… but whatever you have get good with it
-
A lot of people dont know the ACOG has a fast range finding feature. If the line for the 400 on your reticle is the same width as the torso of an e-type/average person, then the target is roughly 400m away. Works for all the ranged lines in the reticle
-
So, with a second focal plane, your point of impact isn't going to change through upping the magnification. However, the HOLDS in that reticle are only going to be good on the magnification you zeroed in. I think this is what lucas was trying to say, but it came out maybe a little confusing for someone who's not in the know :) Good video guys! The cinematography was stellar!
-
Finding the right optic for you will be an expensive journey… but a worth while journey for those who take civilian armament and proficiency seriously. Great content as always.

THE FPV SHOTS ARE AWESOME!!! and some great information as always.

The editing team is fuckin next level 🔥

So… 1) Eotech + magnifier 2) ACOG + RMR 3) LVPO (+ RMR) 1) is best for noobs and if you only have one gun for everything 2) is best if you do more medium range than close range and is easier to transition between close and far targets. 3) is good for longer ranges and precision (added an RMR to the top of this rifle may give similar setup to ACOG + RMR) Conclusion: get three rifles, 1) with red dot and magnifier for home defense on a 10.5” gun. 2) 12.5-13.9” rifle with Acog + RMR for your apocalypse gun 3) 16”+ rifle with lvpo if you shoot longer distance more than close distance and do 3 gun competitions

Lucas you are the man. You break down things so much more clearly than anyone else. No time wasted. Great information and concise delivery. Thank you. Great content.

Been watching your videos for a long time. I really enjoy them but this is one of my favorite videos. Great job talking about those three types of optics, budgets, beginners and experts etc… great video for all to watch. Thank you! God Bless!
-
ACOG Rmr has been my new peak. RMR sits high and comfy for CQB, Acog is what I used in the marines and hitting out to 500 no problem. For a general setup that tries to flex where it can, i haven’t found better.

Just purchased my ragnorak for the Black Friday sale. Appreciate your team efforts. Thanks Hayden and Jordan

These drones shots are insane. Keep up the work!
-
Kinda at the point where I don't really learn anything just enjoy the videos man and love how it helps newer guys

I've been using the 1x prism and 3x magnifier combo from Primary Arms for the past 2 years or so. It absolutely rules as someone with astigmatism who can't really use traditional red dots, but the biggest feature has to be their ACSS reticle hands-down. The rangefinding/BDC features built into it really make the whole package. I believe PA did a collab with Trijicon at one point to put the ACSS in a select series of ACOGs so that is something to look into as well.
-
That is the best acog breakdown I’ve ever seen. Thanks. I wouldn’t be afraid to lay down the cash for one now.

Thank you for the great black Friday deals. I just ordered an Orion belt, double pistol mag pouch, and a rifle mag pouch. God bless and keep up the great training vids.
