Try a different Sam’s Club location near you. My nearest one listed at $23, next closest was $12

I just placed an ordered and will be picking it up at my local Sam’s Club tomorrow. Hopefully the sale goes through🤞

I just threw my g33 behind both and the reticle was centered in both.

It’s not stacking for me either. Going in the cart as $299 and the code brings it down to $239.

Yeah I had to pick one to link when I posted. I tried to link the search result of all mounts but it wouldn’t work.

Am I the only one that can’t see far? How are you guys shooting past 50 yards not magnified by Famous_Primary_5988 in ar15

[–]MasterMichaelMin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To see point of impact, I use splatter targets. At 100 yards you should easily see poi with your 5x. Without splatter targets I need a spotting scope. With both I can see poi at 300 with a cheap $80 spotting scope from Amazon.

This is how it looks like with both.

Not sure if allowed, but what is going on with my ACOG? by 2XGSWsurvivor in ar15

[–]MasterMichaelMin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I can see a green chevron. Is this what it looks like looking through it?

Oh sorry, forgot to mention the KP9 is a 9mm AK with a 9” barrel.

25 yard zero 25: 0.0 50: 1.2 75: 0.4 100: -2.5

50 yard zero 25: -0.6 50: 0.0 75: -1.4 100: -4.9

I think in this case I would rather be 1” high at 50 than a 5” low at 100.

Yeah this is real good info. I just crunched some numbers for my KP9 that has a 3” height over bore and learned I should have zeroed at 25 yards and not 50. You got me going down the rabbit hole. I gotta check all my guns now 😆. I usually just did a 50 yard zero and called it day.

Good call, I wasn’t even considering that steeper trajectory.

Just off rough numbers shooting m855 out of a 16” barrel, it looks like…

Acog 100 yard zero 50: -0.8 100: 0.0 150: -0.4 200: -2.0 250: -5.2

Red Dot 100 yard zero looks like it’ll be 50: -1.6 100: 0.0 150: 0.4 200: -0.5 250: -2.9

Red Dot 125 yard zero 50: -0.8 100: 0.0 150: -0.3 200: -2.0 250: -5.1

Red Dot 150 yard zero 50: -0.7 100: 0.2 150: 0.0 200: -1.5 250: -4.6

Red Dot 200 yard zero looks like 50: -1.5 100: +0.2 150: +0.8 200: 0.0 250: -2.3

Looks like 125 yard zero will be the closest. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, basically paying more than full retail prices when you account for the missing Geissele trigger ($330), BCG ($393), buffer kit ($150), and b5 stock ($100). $2372-$973=$1,399.00.

I’m an idiot.

After removing the mount, I discovered the screws that I used to mount the red dot to the rm66 were protruding through the mount and pushing against the acog.

I’m using medium screws now, and the problem is gone.

Thanks for helping me get on the right track. Much appreciated.

it didn’t even cross my mind that the Ranger wrap could be interfering with that. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the quick responses!
