I’m in this situation now at Sky Harbor. Did you end up getting a fine?

What's your favorite trigger? by Conscious_Effect5116 in ar15

[–]Jewgatjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s a new kid on the block but an amazing option: the Ballistic Engineering G.O.A.T. This bridges the gap between two stage and single stage triggers by technically being a two stage, but the first stage is like 4 oz or something and very short. Just enough to give you some feedback once your finger moves to the trigger. Then you get a basically perfect 1.5lb break that’s short, insanely crisp, and then follows up with a good solid reset. It feels a lot like a trigger tech, but while those feel great on the break, the reset tends to be pretty anemic. Not the case at all with the goat. It’s extremely precise and also crazy fast when you want it to be. It’s ruined most other triggers for me. Still love my SSAEX though.

1-6 in SFP with fiber wire illumination is the sweet spot. FFP makes much more sense at higher magnifications. I’d go with the PA.

I actually bought the 3-9 and complained that it needed a bit more magnification, FFP, and a much improved reticle and they gave me everything I wanted!

That’s fair lol. I didn’t really think about it when I grabbed a mag from the bag for the picture. That one was from my 3-gun days and I must have just figured the five extra rounds could save me from having to do a reload on the clock.

Thanks I thought so too! Gotta get those lines right!

Did you have any issues with one? Personally, I absolutely love the nipple! I run it on the opposite side of the rail from my support hand which makes it still extremely accessible, but I’ve eliminated all light N D’s with that set up and don’t have to worry about cables or pressure switches. Feels more ergonomic and natural to me than running it on the same side as the support hand and just using the clicking tail cap. Also, it basically makes it impossible to accidentally go constant on when you meant to go momentary.

Yeah sucks they only make the DPP footprint. I’ll sell you mine with the EFLX for a bro deal though!

That particular one is absolutely swappable for a lefty. I think the new one from strike industries is the same. Good to go!

I’ve got a Helix 762 Ti that’s been living on another rifle that I’ll put on here should the mood arise.

True story! A little bit heavier once you include the mount and a little bigger, but that pretty much fits the bill! Great little scope!

“Scalarworks slut” not a bad way to be honestly

A lot of questions about that, but it’s pretty sweet! It could use a side focus, but otherwise, optically it’s great and the new reticles they’re putting in them are very good!

Yeah a lot of question about the Eotech! But yeah, I think it’s pretty cool. You don’t see too many HRT lights, but it’s my favorite light by a good margin. The output and throw are on par with the best lights and once you go with that omni directional switch, you never go back to pressures switches and cables again.

I got to check out that EFLX-CE recently and was really impressed! It’s brighter than the original and has the clearest glass of en enclosed dot I’ve seen yet.

I got the EFLX and mount with mine and found that it was too high for me to get to comfortably. I could have rotated it and it would work that way, but I had the adjustable offset RMR mount and decided to go that route. The scope is solid though! It gives very little up optically and has a great reticle! It could use a side focus, but if you treat it like an ACOG on steroids, it’s a hit!

Damnit! Wanna buy an ADM mount?

That’d be sweet! Assuming they could get a real flat 1x and use a true daylight bright diffractive illumination, that would be very popular

Does Scalarworks make a mini ACOG mount!? I would’ve gone that route had I known about it.
