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

I'm going to go back to a red dot.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

Um, also my first experience with primary arms is actually only experience with primary arms as customer service because I was shooting it at the range and just randomly on a round.

Suddenly I can't see through my optic anymore.

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

Again, this is fucking weird.

But if I tilt my head a little bit to the side and look at an angle into the optic, I can see through it.

So something inside with the little prismatic lens or something,

I wish I had hung on to that damn thing instead of selling.

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

I sold that.

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

It was sitting on top of the FNAR.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

Well, actually, no.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

I ended up putting it on top of the FNAR I sold to buy my G3.

I kind of wish I'd held on to the optic because it would be useful right now.

My second experience with Prism Optics was an Elcan.

So I went from about as cheap as you could get back in the day to as expensive as you can get today.

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

I did some work and then traded labor for an AR, my current AR, with a 1.5 to 6x Elcan sitting on top of it.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

And I was absolutely convinced this was going to be the holy grail of optics.

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

And then I discovered that 1.5X really sucks.

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

It is too awkward of a magnification range.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
