I have a stock 17, i went with the NF 2.5-10 with acro P2. Why 2.5-10? Weight. 22oz scope vs 34 os steiner 3-18 my other choice, also shorter by 2-3". I have mine built to be a half mile gun or 880 yards. I live in mich farm land so half mile to tree line is common. With bipod scope suppressor & acro im running 11lbs 4oz no ammo. 10x seems to be plenty for the half mile distance. Also, the NF scopes will take the vibration. Look into how NF set the lenses and the reticle housing. Look up the manufacturing process of NF. It is made to take it the shock and vibration better than most. The NF 2.5-10x42 is also a reasonable cost option at $1600. With scope, acro, and irons you have the P.A.C. sights the E is the P226 on my hip. Also, i get 1.5- 2 MOA with 147gr ball. Plenty to make consistent hits on C zone target at my 880 yds. The Fed GMM 168 i consistently get 0.75-1 moa
For me, the TA11 H with a fiber optic Trijicon RMR mounted atop the ACOG works. No batteries to change, tank-like ruggedness and dependability, no points of failure.
I just got mine, well I don't have it in my possession yet because I am in CA and have to wait 10 days but it's always been my dream gun. I am putting a Nightforce 5-20x on it to see if I like the setup.
I’m patiently waiting to get mine someday. Unfortunately with the presidential election campaigns coming along in the near future will cause anything firearms related to be grossly overpriced.
Who knows…. During this time there was a lot of unknowns and TH-cam was removing videos and putting strikes on people for field stripping just to clean, screwing on suppressors, so ya, errored on the side of caution.
If you stayed until the end, which optic should I permanently install?
The Eotech or the LPVO?

@user-jv4ic8rh4d that’s a great pick up

That is a solid setup as well. I plan on trying out a march, 1.5x15 in the near future
Is the strike eagle strong enough to withstand the beat down that a scar 17 usually puts down on optics?
As of today, it still functioning so so far so good 😁
Great job on the video
Thanks for watching, slowly getting this thing setup.
It’s starting to look really good
Got a question have you ever heard of a Charles Daly pak-9 pistol before I just bought one it’s weird looking
@@nathanwhite5602 I have, I wanted to get one but it was always sold out.

Nice!!! Nightforce has a 2.5 -20x that I’m interested in.
Enjoy and stay safe!

Honestly, prices won’t come down, these hold their value really well. Get it now, it will be worth more later.
Thanks for watching.
So can’t show putting on optics?

lol what?
WTH?!
Ya, no idea
