AK-47 Radio Show 023 – Overview of Optical Options

And I put my swamp Fox arrowhead one to 10 on the PSA one-on-one and it is entirely too heavy for my taste.

The optic is fine.

This is more a case of balance on the rifle.

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

No, that's the Gideon optics.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

One that eight.

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

Oh, 34 millimeter.

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

Ah, no, this one you don't get.

I paid with this one with my hard money.

LPVO on AK is a little, I mean, so this rifle right now with the rail, with the light, with the laser box, basically unloaded cranks out just shy of 11 pounds, which is about a half pound too heavy for a general purpose rifle in my book.

But more importantly than that, because it is AK, it is a little nose heavy, which is the actual doom of this setup is that now there's too much right weight.

It feels like you're dragging your arm down.

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

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

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

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 – 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 – 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 – 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.
