AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

It feels like you're dragging your arm down.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Well, yeah, but I mean, one way or the other.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

So with running my aim point on there, is it a little nose heavy?

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Yes.

But the overall weight is low enough that it's not as noticeable.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

You throw, oh gosh, I think this thing, I think the optic itself is 23 ounces.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Yeah.

off the top of my head, plus a hollow sun, uh, five Oh nine T and an offset plus the, the fricking mount it came with, which is like an overbuilt mount.

And it's just, it's just a tad, like it's not unusable weight, but it's just a tad too much for my taste.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

For what I would want on this gun, at least.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

I'll fucking tell you one thing.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

This rifle already doesn't recoil, so adding more weight to it just means that extra doesn't recoil, but...

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

So I was going back and forth through options and we were going to talk about some optic choices tonight.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

So since I've got an LPVO in front of me, I really like LPVOs.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

It is like the about do it all optic for pretty much every purpose out there.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

The only downside to them is that sometimes they start stacking a lot of weight on your gun, and they can be a little more fragile than other options, depending on how they're dropped or how they're hit or so on and so forth.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

Or how they're shot.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Well, that, yes.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

and this is where i have had optic failures with lpvos is it riding in a case or riding in a truck or i've never done it like walking around with one in the woods but having something bash either end of it hard enough to cause the scope to actually slip inside the rings and they weren't they were torques they were torqued properly but it did get it wasn't no it was the gideon optics one that i'm going to give you to test out it took a hit on the front that didn't damage the optic

but it was just enough to shift the scope like a 32nd of an inch inside the rings, which then threw my relief off.
