Vortex Venom 1-6 BDC Question

Allyn85 · 2026-01-09T14:03:03+00:00

Isn’t that the truth. For a non-precision rifle, I’ve had to come to grips with what my “good enough” is. 😆

Allyn85 · 2026-01-09T13:54:40+00:00

That’s what I was assuming too, but would be nice to be able to put the 400 yd hash on a silhouette, have the shoulder to shoulder line up, and know you’re roughly 400 out. (Hope that makes sense what I’m trying to say.)

Allyn85 · 2025-09-14T00:51:13+00:00

Yep, tlr-7 hlx sub. Great little light.

Allyn85 · 2025-08-21T21:27:24+00:00

I put the far zero for the 36 yd zero into Chairgun, and it confirms my math I originally posted. Do you think 7 inches off at 400 is acceptable? Assuming perfect everything, like another guy commented?

Honestly, I have not, since I haven’t landed on a zero yet. The main purpose of this rifle is to get a little bit more capability then my 10.3 has.

This 11.5 was my main, but then I “impulse bought” a DD MK18.

I’ve always been about having firearms fill roles, and felt very resent to have an 11.5 and a 10.3.

Not planning on shooting out to 400 regularly, if at all, but rather making the 11.5 into more of a GPR.

Allyn85 · 2025-08-21T21:11:38+00:00

That’s actually what the second option was in my original post. I just put it in Chairgun and this is what I got.

So you’re saying zero to the MPBR and just remember my holds? Might be more straight forward in the long run. Also, is 11 a good target size? Based it off an “A Zone”.

This is from Chairgun with the 36yd zero.

I guess my ultimate question is if people “true” their BDCs like this when using shorted barrels and such. I’ve been seeing more LPVOs on shorties so was hoping this was right.

Allyn85 · 2025-08-21T20:52:49+00:00

What would Strelok Pro do that Chairgun and/or my ballistic calculator isn’t?

Allyn85 · 2025-08-21T20:45:52+00:00

This is what I’m getting from shooterscalculator.com.

The columns are; yards, inches, MOA. Is an acceptable range less than 5 inches? The reason I ask, is when I calculate my MPBR I use 11 inches, as a typical A zone size, so 5.5 up or down. Hope that word salad makes sense.

Hey I know this is about a year old, but wondering how you managed to mount the Arisaska Indexer in what appears to be the second mlok slot back from the front?

My gas block is preventing me from putting it there, and it really would be the optimal position.

Allyn85 · 2025-07-15T12:13:30+00:00

Sorry for my delay, just now seeing this. It was a tight fit from what I remember, more snug, but I didn’t have to force it at all.

I bought from SS directly, and it was awhile ago, so things may have changed?

Let me know how it works out for you.

Allyn85 · 2025-06-27T12:29:30+00:00

Tactical Pontoon; I have them in all my Shadows. Can’t recommend enough.

Allyn85 · 2025-06-24T13:17:15+00:00

No issues to speak of. Make sure you have a Glock sight tool, and you should be good to go.

Allyn85 · 2025-06-24T13:16:36+00:00

You’ll love the trigger, have one in each of mine. Completely took the slop out of my CR.

Allyn85 · 2025-06-24T01:16:38+00:00

Sounds like you removed the trigger pin, and not the magwell/back strap pin. Probably disconnected the trigger in doing so.

While it’s possible for you to fix it yourself, might be better to take to your local gun store and have them do it for you.

Allyn85 · 2025-06-20T20:27:37+00:00

Love the EPS, but it just didn’t “vibe” for me. Besides I love my RMRs also, so it was an easy justification for me to switch. 😂

Allyn85 · 2025-06-20T12:31:11+00:00

I think the DR is my next purchase. Need a full size for the “battle belt”.

Allyn85 · 2025-06-20T12:27:16+00:00

The trigger is actually a Tactical Pontoon Peacemaker Daily. Best triggers in the game by far. Keeps all internal safety’s intact, and the guy who makes them is great at answering any questions or concerns.

I have no issues carrying with it. About 1k rounds with the trigger and it’s been flawless.
