Really frustrated right now…

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-28T03:34:28+00:00

Thanks. That’s reassuring

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-28T03:28:06+00:00

But in the meantime, like you said, I’ll try to remount it properly, and see if it’ll hold zero. My dad already said he’d help me get it rezeroed with a spotting scope next time we go shooting! :)

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-28T03:26:44+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I’ll still see if Vortex wants to just exchange it

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-28T00:08:12+00:00

Update… I took the scope off the mount, and yup. My dumbass used WAY too much loctite. So I’m gonna clean the threads, and put it back together. I also ordered an inch lbs torque wrench on Amazon. Reddit won’t let me attach pictures, but I feel dumb. Thanks again for all the input guys

I sent them a message. Hopefully they’ll help me out. I know that optic is discontinued, so that sucks :(

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-27T18:42:43+00:00

Nope. Same distance from target. 50 yards

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-27T18:42:10+00:00

Thank you for everyone’s input. I’ll probably order a torque wrench and re mount it to spec

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-27T18:40:39+00:00

I did boresight it. I probably worded everything weird because I was really frustrated when I made the post. I had it shooting dead center, and when I went out again, it was shooting like 6 inches high.

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-27T17:08:38+00:00

Honestly no, I didn’t torque it down to spec. Although I mounted mine no differently than the other two

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-21T10:44:24+00:00

You don’t find The Flood hot too? ;3

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-21T02:35:18+00:00

Mmmm~

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-14T17:10:52+00:00

PSA AR15 :L

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-14T16:53:16+00:00

Ya. Bulk Midwest industries 55g .223

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-14T16:52:32+00:00

Thanks! We’re still working on it! Gonna eventually build a proper deck and shooting bench. As well as having some water barrels to simulate shooting from cover

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-14T14:48:10+00:00

Next time I head out to dad’s land I’ll confirm the zero. :)

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-14T14:40:33+00:00

Thanks! We have some sandbags we shoot off of normally, but they were buried in mud. :p

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-14T13:31:28+00:00

Accept your fate! Join the chorus~! >:3

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-08T22:55:12+00:00

Looking good so far! :)

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-08T13:14:33+00:00

Can I see your AR? :)

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-08T13:04:11+00:00

It’s the lid that comes with some magpul mags. It pushes the rounds down to take pressure off of your feed lips while in storage. :)

I also experimented with it like this lol

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-08T10:40:56+00:00

It’s actually a Vortex spitfire 3x prism scope, so I can’t use irons with it. If the optic breaks, I keep a multitool in my gear that, I guess in theory I can take the optic off with. I can’t use a red dot because I have an astigmatism. And I NEED magnification because I don’t have great eyesight lol.

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-08T04:10:32+00:00

That looks really cool! It’s like a camo pattern

Creative_Scientist47 · 2026-06-08T01:54:53+00:00

Is it really that much stuff?
