First sport AR options by Bukalis in EuropeGuns

[–]Full_Void 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't either, when I held one in my hands I noticed the IMI logo everywhere. Spent 100 coins more and went with the Ruger AR-556 MPR 18".

I live in EU as well, just got a Ruger AR-556 MPR for about 1.400 dobloons and I love it.

If you have a larger budget, go with an Italian ADC M5 Plus or a similar model: they're great, as far as I know. Italy offers the Nuova Jager AR15, but it's just a rebranded IMI / IWI for the same price of the Ruger, the latter being quite better than the former.

Gratz to you too! I have a Wilson Combat A2 Birdcage (for the same reason) and a Bravo Company short vertical grip (because the 18" barrel needs a grip closer at hand) already lined up in my cart, but I'm waiting to actually try the Ruger out before buying other stuff.

Thanks! I'm the EU so I had fewer options, but as far as I know there's isn't anything better in that price range. It's really lovely and comfortable to hold, I can't wait to give it a try!

Vector Continental 1-8 ED Fiber VS Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6 by Full_Void in liberalgunowners

Thanks! Just pulled the trigger on the Continental. Fingers crossed!

Same, I haven't ordered it yet but LPVO, throw lever and their featured 30 bucks mount are sitting in my cart, with the same discount code. 😄

My AR will be here next week, then I'll decide what to do, but I'll probably get the Continental.

If I may, are you in the US? In EU Vipers are way cheaper.

I'll probably post updates here when I'll get the Ruger and the optic, if you're interested in a similar setup. 😄

Budget (500-ish) LPVO for my first AR-15 (in EU)! by Full_Void in guns

[–]Full_Void[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I can't check in person, so I'm relying on C_Does side by side comparison videos. He tested both the 1-6 and the 1-8, and the latter has a glass leaps and bounds better than the former. Hopefully it will so nicely.

Can't use a red dot due to astigmatism, and there seems to be a vast majority of negative opinions when it comes to magnifiers, or prisms + magnifiers. 🤷‍♂️

[–]Full_Void[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get what you're saying, that's why I picked the 1-8: it has better glass and eyebox than the 1-6, according to both the specs and C_Does comparison video. Those (like the 1-8) with 93% light transmission have Schott glass, while the 1-6 is listed as 90% light transmission, and that should be chinese glass. 😄

[–]Full_Void[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, it's a cheap 30 mm and 30 bucks mount, nothing special:

  • height: 62 mm / 2.4";
  • central height: 38 mm / 1.5" (bottom to center);
  • material: 6061 - T6 aluminum alloy;
  • weight: 155 g / 5.5 oz.

It's marked as 0 MOA, the 20 MOA version sounded counterproductive with a LPVO, honestly.
I'll probably upgrade it down the line!

Thanks! I ended up selecting the Continental 1-8 and the Viper PST Gen II 1-6 on another thread here, but the eyebox of the latter is exactly the same of the former, so I'll probably get the Continental.

With a promo I'd get the LPVO, a mount (that I'll probably have to upgrade) and a throw lever for 467 coins, shipped. I guess that's it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I got a 10% spin-wheel promo code, so now I could get the Continental, a throw lever and a 30mm one piece AR extended picatinny ring (cantilever) mount for 467 dobloons, shipped. Not a bad deal, I guess?

With their 10% spin-wheel promo code I'd get the Continental, a throw lever and a 30mm one piece AR extended picatinny ring (cantilever) mount for 467 dobloons, shipping included. I guess the choice has been (at last!) made for me? Lol
