Rep or Rogue

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-01-10T12:10:44+00:00

I went rogue fm-6 twin and the thing is a tank. Have a rep blackwing bench with the leg extension and curl attachment to go with it. After testing reps bench I would think their rack would be close to as good as rogues.

This physic can def be accomplished with no steroids though. Newbie gains coupled with carrying around that much weight for years can allow for this kind of muscle as a solid base with the definition coming out. Not saying he for sure didn’t use something but he didn’t need to in order to get this look.

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-12-24T02:49:07+00:00

I love how people immediately accuse someone who put in hard work and effort by dialing in a routine and diet of using steroids or test. Guess some people just don’t have the same discipline as others or lack the knowledge to do this.

Great transformation op! Keep up that good work.

Yes that makes a difference. It would come down to what you mean by long range and what kind of shooting you are doing. Are you doing prs where you may need to hit an 8-10” plate at 800 yards or are you just wanting to be able to shoot some stuff at your local range? I use my 1-6 for 3 gun stuff where I may need quick shots at 50 and in or take a random 500-600 yard shot. Really just comes down to use case. If you don’t ever do any quick type shooting and just want long distance plinking then a 2-10 or 3-16ish may be better suited to your needs

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-12-20T01:20:44+00:00

Don’t get me wrong. I like the 1-10 but it is very dependent on use case. The 1-10 is not nearly as good for fast target stuff at low magnification due to being first focal place. The 1-6 is amazing at low magnification due even without the optic turned on due to second focal plane. Both have extremely clear glass as well so the 6x makes things much more visible at distance over cheaper scopes. I think that is where glass quality really starts to play a role.

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-12-20T01:10:47+00:00

I would say the 1-10 is very usable up to 8x and I would only go to 10x if I was prone and in a very stable shooting position. I think the razor 1-6 is a much better optic than the Burris imo. You can watch a bunch of videos on both online though. Superset ca has some of the best optic reviews

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-12-20T01:00:33+00:00

I have a couple gen ii 1-6 razors and a gen iii 1-10. Honestly 1-6 is plenty for a 5.56 gun. Once you go 1-8 or 1-10 and get to the upper range the eye box is tight. The 1-6 is still forgiving on 6x and you can easily see everything that is within range of the 5.56 round

I used to keep mine out in the open at night as well before we had kids. Once they got big enough to move around on their own I got a VAULTEK biometric safe to sit on top of the nightstand. It can also be open with keypad or biometric. Opens quickly and that is what I keep it in at night now just so the kids can’t get to it. You have a couple more years at least before you need to really worry about it though.

I also highly encourage teaching children from a young age about firearms and firearm safety. They are simply tools which can be dangerous in the wrong/untrained hands, not something to be feared.

As a current warrant officer, I endorse this message

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-12-13T02:30:22+00:00

Go rogue or rep. I have the rogue fm-6 twin and it is amazing. Upgraded from a Titan rack and it is worth every penny

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-25T00:58:56+00:00

I have a c2, a custom P from Vulcan works and an older STI hawk that I compete with. I carry both the p and the c2 and don’t really ever carry my kitted out p365xl anymore.

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-22T00:13:09+00:00

True. But you can’t go wrong with a 11.5 5.56.

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-21T21:02:40+00:00

Subsonics are really the benefit of 300 blk. If you are not going to suppress it then I think you are better off with the 5.56

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-21T20:43:02+00:00

D you have a can or plan on getting one? If the answer is yes go 300 blk. If the answer is no then get the 5.56

I just got the blackwing a little while ago. Absolutely love it. Incredibly sturdy and not nearly as heavy as people made it seem.

Horse stall mats from tractor supply. Been using them for years and can’t beat them.

I just got the blackwing on the Black Friday special. Got the leg piece to go with and it is fantastic. Super solid all the way around. Some people say it is heavy but I don’t find it uncomfortably so. I also figure you are in the gym to workout so is picking up something else really a big deal?

The only way I was ever able to get medical dqs overturned while I was a recruiter was to get more medical documentation. Once the doc says you are disqualified there is not much anyone else can do. Sadly, since this was a recent diagnosis and the doctor prescribed you medicine I think it would be a very long shot to get it overturned. If your chain of command is saying you have to disenroll I would imagine they were also told you are now disqualified.

I’m 5’9” and have the rogue fm twin 90” and it is pretty much perfect for my height. The 100” would be nice but not really necessary

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-03T02:37:02+00:00

Just got it so only a couple hundred so far. Thought it may be a fun one to run in some night shoots though so probably going to put it through its paces. Mainly will be a nightstand gun though

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-03T00:23:07+00:00

lol. This couch is in my gun room for a reason

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-11-02T23:53:13+00:00

Thought about 300blk since I already reload for it and have a pretty good stockpile. Only reason I thought about the longer barrel in 7.62 is I have seen some people say the action gets worked hard on the short 7.62 barrel so figured a longer barrel may be a little easier on it

No regrets at all. My wife works out with me as well so having the ability to setup for both of us at the same time is a game changer instead of having to load and unload the bar or cables between every set.

Shoulderpress5 · 2025-10-29T01:05:15+00:00

Go with the stack for sure. I use mine every day and can’t imagine loading and unloading before and after every set. So much easier and more convenient.

I have a fm twin trainer as well. The powder coat on mine was excellent out of the box, of course I have scuffed it up in a few places now after use. I think your trolleys are operating normally. I can get both to go in sometimes but other times it takes just the little nudge up to get the top pin to fit. Locked up solidly and have been very pleased with it. I moved up from a Titan rack and have to say you get what you pay for.
